Arsenal v Manure

[VoiceOfReason]

Agree with augie. Also, very few players like to 'linger on the treatment table' on purpose.

But some will have no problem doing it if they are being paid silly money and they know no other club will pay them that much or, indeed, want to sign them. That's the crux of the issue for me; RVJC only had a problem with the club's ambition after he got fit enough and raised his value enough to be in a position of strength to bully a move. No problems with our ambition up to that point whilst he sat on his arse collecting his dosh from us.

But in 2009, when RVP was last injured, we hadn't sold all our best players. Adebayor, Nasri, Fabregas and the rest of them all jumped ship (regardless of whether or not they were injured). Arsenal in 2012, with all these departures, were displaying lower-than-normal ambition. And that's why RVP wanted to go at that time, IMO. It's not as if we'd just signed Alonso, Villa and Mata (for example). We were signing players below the standard of what we had before, and maybe if that had been the club's policy in 2009 (to such a great extent), he might have been wondering about his future then too.

So the ankle injury in August 2010 didn’t happen? Or the knee injury in Feb 2011? Or the reoccurrence of it in March 2011? And he didn’t spend almost half the 2010-2011 season injured? We all imagined that? Thank God! You do the pro-RVJC camp no favours, mate!

I'm really talking serious, long-term injuries.

You just wont let this go will you ? Just admit that you are wrong and we can all let this lie

He's a judas cúnt. There. We're done.

Your just pissed off that you still owe me 20 beer vouchers for all the goals he banged in the other year.

[highburyJD]

was gonna stick my snout in but DB10 has this totally covered
not only on vanPursestrings (sellout user *word censored*)
but also on the pro-DutchSkunkers, who would give character references to crackheads,
as long as it was Wenger's house they burgled

hope next time Mrs vanStaplecunt catches him, she cuts it off

I do indeed. But I'll just be handing you back the 20 you handed me the year before!

You wouldn't call missing half the 2010-2011 season a serious or long term injury?

[I Hate Hleb]

Depends. Compared to the spells Rosicky and Diaby had out, you could almost call it a sabbatical!!

I think we'll be waiting a bit longer for Diaby to have his one brilliant season and force a move to Man United though!

[OneBardGooner]

Diaby is NOT injured. he is simply on Secondment to the Medical Team, so he has the skills to follow another career path once his playing days are over...errmmm ...in that case is he now a member of the medical team?.
