No excuses,,, "Guardiola to leave barca

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Arsenal are essentially Barcelona lite and so whilst I do see him being interested in the job, I hope Le Prof will still be in charge when his break from football ends.

Now, hang on. Fergie, Wenger and Mourinho have built teams.... Wenger and Fergie, especially.

Guradiola has clearly done a SUPERB job but he did have the tools to do it. Magic golden super tools! :shock: -

By the way, I think he could well be a fantastic manager. The way he's set Barca up tactically has worked a treat, and their workrate puts us to shame : TO SHAME! :(

Just watching Valencia-Atletico, on talking about the departure of the Valencia manager at the end of the season Clive Tyldesley says "they've finished 3rd for the last two years. That's not good enough for their fans."

Surely they should be ecstatic at so comfortably securing the 4th place trophy, no?!

He will dont worry. Celebrating his 8th year without a trophy

As for being Barca lite when have we ever won the CL and back to back titles since the 1930's.This season we have been Swansea lite

Wenger's rent boys often tell us what an impossible job AW has competing against these mega rich clubs (cos you see, that's the reason we get dicked on by QPR, Brum and 8-2). Pep has demolished Real over years - on the whole - despite Real being the world's richest club.

Can he fit Song and Diaby into a superteam though??

So easy being the first manager to make 5 consecutive CL semis eh?

Mind you, unlike Our Dear Leader, can he finish second in a group with Braga and Partizan, and get hammered 4-0 to a Milan team with a wage bill 25% lower than his teams?? Can he inherit a masterful back five and Dennis Bergkamp; then rebuild amazing teams that win nothing for 7 years? And can he rush past Go and collect 7 million in the process??

Nah. Pep is shit. Rijkaard inherited Xavi, Iniesta and Messi but was sacked for finishing 4th.
Mancini has more money than any manager in world football and a debt-riddled Manure will beat them to the league.
Chelski are loaded and have s ridiculous wage bill and funds, yet Newcastle are miles ahead of them.

Yep. Football is as simplistic as some simpletons here are claiming!

Example: a team with a wage bill of £125 million, should beat Birmingham, QPR, Wolves at home, and at the very least, have won 2-3 trophies over. 7 years. RIGHT??

:roll:
Baba, it's probably a good post, but it would "scan better" (copyright IHH) without needlessly insulting your fellow forum members, even if it is your trademark. :roll: :lol:

It gives your well thought out posts a needlessly nasty edge that drowns out the rest of your post. In my opinion, anyway 8)

Anyway, just be thankful there are "simpletons" on this forum. They give you the free hits so you can knock 'em out the park! :wink:

Lets see him knock this 1 out of the park for all us simpletons gooner


This is a wonderful post

Where are all the plebs who chastised me back in November, when I claimed Spuds would finish miles ahead of us?
Any cream with that humble pie?

Am breaking my arse laughing at that post.Who posted this i wonder


Step forward MR BABATUNDE

heres another babatunde post from a while back


Once everyone has finished jizzing in their undies because Thierry scores against Championship Leeds...those interested in Facts will note that Spuds are now joint second in the league. That's 2nd.

Spuds have won more games, Spuds have scored more goals and they have also conceded less goals. Oh and they have more points. Oh and their wage bill is over 35% lower than Arsenal's!

So despite Gazidis and the AKB muppets going on about "self sustainability", Daniel Levy and Spuds are running a superior football team on far less resources. Oh and their fans pay less money, to watch better players. Oh and their manager earns less than half of what our clown does. Oh and they spent just £5 mil this summer on players, not £50mil.

Still. I'll look forward to Kiwomya, MacDowell and the deluded Amish sheep brigade to tell us how "our quality will shine through".

Heh

Heh
You sensitive soul !

I'll remember that next time you're giving me shit about Abou :D

No, all jokes aside I like Baba, but he should just come out now (not in a King Jayson way :D ) and say he went overboard about the Spuds. I'll admit it too - I didn't imagine for a minute that we would catch them and you can probably find posts from me on here to that effect (although not quite so barbed !)

Just one final point though mate - we ain't home and dry yet, and much as I fucking hope not, I wouldn't be surprised if they closed the gap to 3 points with a game in hand this weekend :(

Hey. Why don't the Valencia fans whine like bitches about how unfair it is that Real and Barca have all this evil television money advantage they negotiated themselves? Why don't they mention that 15 years ago, they used to finish 7th so 'be careful what you wish for'? Why are they so focused on results and trophies?!!

More than Wenger, it's the excuse-making Arsene apologists (65% of the current Arsenal fan base then), that should be thoroughly ashamed of their ridiculous lack of standards....

:oops:
