Gervinho....

[Ben Diesel]

Direct quote from a geezer standing near me at St Mary's yesterday, as Gervinho entered the field of play.

"If that twat scores, I'm gonna drop my pants and kiss my own arse.... Then I'm gonna kiss your arse too."

[I Hate Hleb]

Quote from the comment section below gooner.ed's match report today .....

"Gervinho's main problem is the laws of physics. His head is so large and his legs so skinny that he can only run so far before gravity takes over. If you also consider that when the ball arrives at his feet he looks at it as though it has a fizzing wick lit you have, without a shadow of a doubt, the worst Arsenal player I have seen since....well those of you who remember the 1970s and 1980s insert your name here."

(from 1971 Gooner)

Guess he is on good money. Did i say he has a big slap head ?

[flash gunner]

Gus Caesar would probably be considered our best defender were he playing in this modern Arsenal era!!

This is so true

The giant foreheaded wonder has been speaking on pravda.com about him shatting his pants at the last ACON and this years tournament



Gervinho will seek redemption at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Arsenal forward has been called up to the Ivory Coast squad for this year's tournament in South Africa and he is determined to make amends for the 2012 final, when he missed the decisive penalty as the Elephants lost to Zambia.

That 8-7 shoot-out defeat took some getting over but it has given Gervinho an added incentive to help Ivory Coast ended their 21-year wait for the African title.

"I am very excited and I am even more motivated than last year where we lost in the final and got denied that trophy that we have been waiting for so long," he told Arsenal.com.

"We have the chance to redeem ourselves. We are determined to win it this year and free us from that spell which has been on us for a long time.

"It [the penalty miss last year] was very tough. I tried not to think about it. It should have been a great moment and it turned into a nightmare. It was frustrating. My aim is to redeem myself this time and I know I will do it.

"I missed my penalty last year but this time I will score the winner to offer the trophy to Ivory Coast. I have faith in myself and my team-mates. This year will be the one for us."

Ivory Coast begin their Cup of Nations campaign against Togo on January 22 and also face Tunisia and Algeria in Group D. The Elephants, finalists in two of the last four tournaments, are among the favourites again.

"We will aim to win every game until the end," said Gervinho. "We are not getting carried away and thinking of the final yet but we want to stay focused for each game, and not panic.

"We learnt a lot from the defeat last season. We know we need to avoid the penalty kicks as we don’t have good takers, especially me!

"This is our European Championship. It’s the competition of the Africans. It’s the only competition that the African fans are really passionate about even if they love the domestic European leagues, the Champions League or the World Cup.

"This is their competition and they all want to win it. Each country and each president wants this trophy. It’s very special for us."

Hes that bad that he even laughts at himself and his own shitness. I hope they get to the final as it means we wont have to tolerate any of those "performances" in an Arsenal jersey

At least he admits to being shit. Now if only the gormless *word censored* in charge could see it as well.

That'd be either his mum or the bloke who sold him to us then!

Like to end this debate once and for all.........absolutely fucking useless. End of.....sadly he's not the only one in our current line up of vincibles (presume thats the opposite to invincibles?!)

The bloke who sold him to us probably done the sneakiest chortle ever before the ink was dry

[SteveO 35]

All that was missing from today's slapstick first half performance was a little cameo from this clown. I'm sure he'll be our new signing in late February

[spendsum4uckingmoney]

The guys is fucking terrible. Should of atleast retired from ACON - African Cup of Nothing.

This useless piece of shite needs to be made fully aware of what we think of him, he should be booed every time he makes an appearance and every time his name is announced on the pa.

Give the guy a break - he managed to last about an hour on Saturday before he fell over his own feet in possession completely unchallenged

Every fan has players who they want to see play less or not at all, but it genuinely beggars belief that this guy makes a living (and a handsome one at that) from playing football. I cannot see what argument there possibly is for playing him at all.

Totally agree with this, but with alot of others also, the majority should be boo'ed, jeered and have shit and piss thrown over them!

How is this guy a professional footballer at any level - never mind at The Arsenal?
