Ye are all panicking for nothing - sure didnt wenger say only last week that he didnt need to sign anybody cos song wasnt going to anc so now he is on his way(thank god) le boss is sure to dust off the old cobwebs from the cheque book :wink: :roll: :lol: :lol: Mind you he would probably sign some 12 year starlet from burkina fasa or somewhere like that so maybe that aint such a good thing :roll:

You would have to think that as he kept phil ahead of djouru for the first 4 months of the season he must rate him higher and will therefore start him. I have made the same point as 2 smooth before in that our centre halfs have an allergic reaction to heading the ball and while phil may not be the answer at least he will stick his head on those "hoofed passes" our opponents resort to on a regular basis.

Phil The Big Swiss Chees Senderos, please NO NO NO :oops:

He needs to be sold on, I would rather see anyone given the opportunity ahead of this clown, even Lehman :oops:

He has had many chances to prove himself worthy of a place in the first team and has failed on every occaision :oops:

Does he really need to fuck up any chance of us challenging for the title to be shown the door, please tell me not :oops:

It will take Chelski out of the title race. Despite my misgivings i think Phil will do a decent job for us

If Wenger has faith then I guess we'll have to get behind big phil.

Lets give him a chance (and pray)!

Here's to an early Ivory Coast exit!!

HAVE TO AGREE. I USUALLY WANT OUR PLAYERS TO DO GOOD WITH THEIR NATIONAL TEAMS AS I BELIEVE IT REFLECTS WELL ON ARSENAL. HOWEVER THIS TIME I GENUINELY WOULD LIKE THE IVORY COAST TO BE ELIMINATED EARLY IN ORDER TO GET KOLO TOURE BACK. SEEING AS THEY ARE IN A TOUGH GROUP, WITH NIGERIA AND MALI, THERE'S A REAL POSSIBILITY WE MIGHT GET OUR WISH. :lol: :wink:

I would love to think this could happen, but when yu look at the side that the Ivory Coast have, its just quality compared to any others in the tournament. :?

I personally can see them going all the way and winning it! :?

But maybe, just maybe they could get knocked out early, and maybe Drogba could brake his leg aswell :wink: :lol: :wink:
