We have the mental strength of a wet fish and crumble under the stress of the other team having the ball

If we don't win this game then it shows how fucking bad this team really fucking is.

Eboue, Denilson, Diaby, Bendtner all shit players who no over fucker wants and we have them incase our ''better'' players get injuerd so we can push for the title. What a load of fucking bollocks Arsene Wenger talks.

Mental strength my arse, my business teacher Sylvia has more mental strength and ability than our fucking ''title'' winning squad of 10/11. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
So your looking forward to Almunia returning? :? :lol:
:shock: forgot about him. :lol:

Just watched the weather forecast and I reckon there could be a problem at Heathrow and Gatwick. Luton and Stansted not so bad. Good luck guys.

Security Lapse as Stoke Training Manual Found

Post by redarmee_redarmee »

The manual was discovered in an unsecured plastic carrier bag from LIDL in a cubicle of the toilets in the Kick & Elbow pub, popular with the Stoke players.

Although covered in vomit, the man who discovered the bag late on Friday night managed to scrape off the suspected remains of a kebab, to reveal the document inside.

Although stamped with a 2007 date, it looked like it had never been read.

The timetable focused on the essential skilss for keeping Stoke in the Premier league:

0900-0901 - warmup (its for girls)
0901-1000 - Attacking strategies - throw-in practice

1000-1100 - Defence strategies, including:
Studs to the ankle
Studs to the shin
Studs to the knee

Footballing Theory - Optional
1100-1110 - Theory of defence: what is the tib/fib - why is it important to break both of them?
1110-1120 - Elbowing - an underused tactic in the modern game

1121-1400 - Pub,

A Stoke representative furiously denied this was a copy of their training manual, stating that " We do far more with the elbow than is covered in this document, and anyway, most of our squad don't even turn up till after 11am, and by then the pub is open..."

3am wake up for me and hit the road at 4, flight around 6 (I hope!). Nursing a severe cough but nothing that 20 pints won't cure :drunk:

Have a feeling I could be facing a severe delay on route back but 3 points from the game will keep me happy

Come on The Arsenal :barscarf: :-P :wink:

I hate spam, although mixed with curry powder it makes a good bait for carp. Usually on a hair rig and used in conjunction with some hemp ground bait. Theres a good chance bream and tench will be attracted too, so maybe i do like spam! :?

Back to topic....

I hope the game will be still okay for today.
There's a big band of snow sweeping across from the west and is due to reach London in the next few hours. It will then stay with us through out the match. Its expected to be heavy.

The pitch will be fine but its the outside concourses and crowd safety that cancel our games.
Its already snowing and settling...a bit but the heavy stuffs still to come! :shock:

Snowing lightly at the moment in N4 but it's a toss up once the health and safety bods get involved.
