THE WENGER THREAD

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.

Bump..... Noticed the thread has been falling wouldn't want anyone to forget about it 8)
Job you reminded me Flash!

Has the Ceeeuunnnttt gone yet?

#justsaying :wink:
Well lets be honest there is very leetle left to to say, we will no doubt hear the same tired excuses about "external resources" at other clubs, "lacking a leetle bit of sharpness", "we have to fight back with great mental strength that we have" etc etc. next season. as we battle for top 4 triumpth.

It is getting to the point where there is little point discussing Arsenal, everything we do (and will do) has been discussed so many times already there is just nothing new to add, I see Emirates cup tickets have just gone on general sale, it will be interesting to see how many go, I can't see people grabbing them quickly, Zzzzz.

Snoring snoring Arsenal. :twisted:

When it comes to transfers, you can always trust the club to 'outdo' themselves. We sure have had some funny ones over the years - this donkey, a walking red card (Xhaka), a postman, a bloke without a work permit, a mid-op tranny, a Manure cast-off who apparently 'looks lively', and a fella with a broken back... only at Arsene FC :oops: :banghead:

From Wikipedia:-
In July 2015, Diaby signed for French Ligue 1 side Marseille after being out of football since leaving Arsenal in June 2015.[88][89] Following continuing injury problems in the first half of the season,[90] he made his return on 18 March 2016, coming on as a substitute in Marseille's 5–2 home defeat to Rennes.[91] On 3 April 2016, he started in a league match against Bastia, his first league start in over three years.[92] Diaby ultimately made just four appearances for the season across all competitions.

In October 2016, Diaby had to undergo an operation on his right ankle after suffering for weeks with persistent pain. He was ruled out for a period of four months following the surgery.
although the best bit has to be the opening sentence on his page
Vassiriki Abou Diaby (born 11 May 1986), known as Abou Diaby, is a French professional footballer who currently plays for French club Marseille. He plays primarily in a box to box role, as he is adept in both attacking and defending, and is described as a player who is "languid, elusive, and athletic" that can either "dribble past opponents or slip passes to team-mates".

Well Dear Gooners, Now We Know:


A Symptom / Illness called: Wenger's Granulomatosis:


Commonly referred to as WGPA
Who are affected?
It is most common in middle aged and elderly people but can affect young adults and children. It affects men and women equally.
What is the aetiology (cause)?
The cause of GPA is not yet known. Some research suggests that GPA may be triggered by exposure to silica or to infection with staphylococcus aureus bacteria though this is not proven.
The ANCA antibodies found in most patients with GPA play a role in causing the inflammation of the blood vessels by activating some types of white blood cell. The ANCA antibodies attach to the neutrophils in the blood causing activation. This makes the neutrophil attach to the blood vessel wall and cause damage by release of the chemicals that it usually uses to fight infection. It is not understood why patients develop ANCA antibodies.
What are the symptoms?
The disease can present in very different ways in different people depending on the severity and the organs involved. It is not uncommon for patients to have had mild symptoms for months or even years before seeing a doctor at all.
Common general symptoms include tiredness, loss of appetite and aching muscles and joints.
It is very common for GPA to affect the ears, nose and sinuses causing blocked nose with some bleeding, crusts and blood clots. Deafness is also very common due to inflammation in the ears as is pain in face or headaches due to sinus inflammation. The eyes can also be involved.


I'm so relieved to discover this, I thought it was just me/ us.....it is 'spreading' globally. :?
