£1100 a season for that. Apologies....

Sorry mate, that's £1100 other people are paying! I've never known somebody be so angry at what other people have to spend :roll:

Surely a guy who has 76 international caps should be captain ahead of Song.
What, a player who has only just joined us? Has only known his team mates for a few weeks? Hasn't yet proved himself as an Arsenal player (although I think he will be great for us wink:)?
And Song has? :wink:
Got me there. :lol:

Exactly.We win 3-1 and guys cant be happy we did so they have to moan about something so trivial as song being captain.

Thank you very much!

Have to disagree with this, DD was lobbying for AW to get the job of AFC manager long before before Bruce Rioch got the job the and the reason the board initially rejected his suggestion was them looking at AW's portfolio, commenting that he looked like a school teacher or a "professor" and that he would not be able to handle the senior and/or more difficult characters in the dressing room like Adams, Parlour and Merson etc who were, lets face it, hardened drinkers and in Merse's case a degenerate gambler and coke head, and regardless of the subsequent downturn it's very hard to argue deny he turned the culture not just of the club but of the whole league completely around!

I remember posting earlier though a tag jokingly that Song will be the captain next season. If RVP leaves in the summer and Verm continues to be in the sidelines, there is a real chance that Song will be given the captancy.

bb - can't dispute what you say, however, not sure what that has to do with aw being unable to appoint conventional, strong and inspiring captains

you gorbellied toss-pot.

Go watch some football, read a book, get an education. You're retarded.
is this sort of stuff necessary for a discussion?

i mean, i know the guy he's replying to started some of it, but i can't see a single post by babatunde where he's not trying to catch the attention of everyone, and does so by being as controversial as possible, and calling people whatever he wants in the way.

wasn't that the definition of WUM for starters?

That's why it was so funny to see people calling for others to be banned whilst this is allowed to continue.

Have to say baba that the abuse levels is ridiculous - most on here are willing to debate rationally (yes even the akb) so treat others with the respect that you would expect to get yourself even if they are on occasions talking shite :wink:

Augie.

Please read the original post from this guy.
Where, totally without foundation, he begins abusive language. My answer is a response to that abusive language. If people don't wanna take abuse, they shouldn't be dishing it out. Because I will never start it, but am always willing to finish it...

I think BrazilGoon is upset because his loverboy Arteta has been subjected to some of my barbs... ;)

Respect from him? :shock:

He'd rather take the advice of a suicide bomber than me apparently, and I've had no altercations with him really... :? it's just so angry and spiteful :roll: :lol:

It's abuse for the sake of it, and aimed at almost everyone - especially if you're from Brazil or pro-Wenger in any way. It's WUMing at it's very worst...

It's a shame, as he's intelligent and interesting when he's calm and not attacking people.
