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.

to be honest, I've just about forgiven him by now. Cattermole should be stripped of the captaincy but I reckon we'll keep Bendy and O'Neill can sort him out, he'll be fine. He's like your kid that keeps misbehaving, you get angry for a short time but you love him so you cant stay mad for long, you just look at his little face and think "awwww". I'd want him out if he smashed cars in Sunderland mind, but it was in Newcastle so I can forgive him. Maybe we'll just change the "we found love in a hopeless place" song to : "Nick Bendtner smashes Geordie cars, Nick Bendtner smashes Geordie cars"

Goes without saying he was probably in Sunderland practicing his shooting...
I'm assuming that Cattermole smashed up half a dozen and Bendtner just the one?? I can't see Nick using that much energy doing anything other than chewing and even if he swung a few kicks at the cars he would have missed with most of them!!
Reports are coming in that Bendner was in Newcastle recovering a ball that was kicked from the Sunderland training ground. O'Niell has told him to take a break from shooting practice.

To be fair, 'Arry the Shovel isnt a fine tuned, musclebound, athletic machine. No doubt 'Arry will salivate at the sight of Nick in the showers, any warm blooded male would, but if he even tries to touch that temple of mascuinity, Nick will have 'Arry putting the shovel to good use trying to scrape his own teeth out via his arsehole after Bendy's put them down the bastards throat.
Daily Mail (aye, a shite source I know) says "Both players played in a behind closed doors practice match on Thursday, before their arrest, and Bendtner, who has only scored two goals since joining Sunderland on loan from Arsenal, is likely to start at White Hart Lane.". Thats that then, if O'Neill has forgiven him then we definitely have, time to get behind the lad and hope he can put Spurs to the sword
As mentioned in the other thread (in case people got the wrong idea about the lad) he's penned an open letter to apoligise, showing a maturity and willingness to take responsibility which is well beyond his tender years. Translated from Danish a site says:
Nicklas Bendtner apologizes its latest incidents in an open letter after he was arrested today in connection with a case of vandalism.
- I am incredibly sad. I deeply regret having been part of these episodes, which is interpreted as violent. I take full responsibility for not having stepped out of the events before they went up to a point. The fault is mine and I am extremely sorry to have disappointed so many people.
To write Nicklas Bendtner in his letter that Ekstrabladet brings. The attacker has recently been involved in some stupid cases that have not been about football. First there was the matter with hotel guests at Hotel Marienlyst, then came the episode during the commemoration of the late Gary Speed and then by today's arrest. Bendtner has his own explanation for his arrest.
- Recently two of my teammates and I were picked up by an otherwise very polite and friendly English police this morning in connection with some surveillance video that allegedly shows us in the act of committing vandalism on some parked cars, after a wet night . The case must now take its course in the English courts and a decision is expected sometime in February next year, writes Bendtner.
Nicklas Bendtner also says that he is in the near future will not give interviews because he will only focus on football.
Well said Bendy, we've all been young and drunk and done daft things, just concentrate on your football as you say and things will turn out well- we'll back the boy, he's a talent and we love him, this letter has fully reaffirmed my faith that he will repay us for our faith, starting by ripping the hopelessly overrated and without King and Kaboul Spurs limb from limb on Sunday. I still love you Bendy, just try not to be so daft again, but awww, your little face, we forgive you!
You can tell I'm pissed when I get 4 posts in a row on the Bendtner thread, but just got a mint text off me mate- he must be forgiven, we have a song for the journey to Spurs
A little bit of "do you know who I am?"
A little bit of kick like Claude Van Damme,
Just to put a *word censored* back in his room,
A little bit of tearing up the Toon,
A little bit of smashing Geordie cars,
A little bit of useless faulty card,
A little bit of I'm not paying you,
A little bit of Sunderland's 52
Remember this pile of shite is still an Arsenal player and we are paying a huge proportian of his wages.Sack the *word censored* and terminate his contract

You do love the mambo number 5 song though, and you could always just change the last line to "a little bit of Arsenal's 52" so its not all bad. I reckon O'Neill will get him firing though- he'll either go to Dortmund or we'll sign him, I think about £15m is fair once we get an out and out goal scorer to partner him
