Bolton wants more for Cahill than they got for Anelka.
We are talking over 15m pounds for a defender
AW won't deal and I agree with him grin

Malouda's 4th goal?
After Anelka strolled thru the middle of the park (with Mr Geriatric from scumland backing off) and scored, the game was done and dusted.
What may slightly lift me up is for us to spoil the party at O.T tomorrow. tongue
It's possible!
But wait a minute, if we beat Manure tomorrow,

The midfield is made up of players between 20 and 22
I told u there is quality in this team
Fabianski is good enough!
Diaby is the best,bla, bla, bla

Here we go again. . . . . .So it was Silvestre's fault Arsenal lost.
Silvestre's fault Walcott can't shoot to score?
Gaynners are twats.

With the Trophy coming to OT tomorrow, not even Barca will stop United from getting the point they need.

There's sterling quality in the Arsenal side. . . . .They just need 2-3 experienced players.
Get a decent centre back(there are plenty of em in Serbia) Players like Ivanovic and Vidic(less than 5 milla).
Wenger should get a defensive midfielder(He can get em for 12 a dozen in France) and Arsenal will challenge again.


Meanwhile what is this Love affair between Fergie and AW??
It's getting me really uncomfortable!

There's no competition again.
Man Utd V Arsenal is no longer mouth-watering.
5 years ago, tomorrow's match would be a title decider.
Arsenal draw(Arsenal win the title). . . . . . .United victory(United win the title).

Seems Arshavin might be having Russian company if this report is true and if Arshavin is anything to go by then this dude might be a tidy signing Pavel Pogrebynak lol i wonder how that name would look on a jersey

Cahill would be a decent signing he is pretty good on the air and strong unlike the midget center backs we have but for 15 mil!! Bolton should please Bleep off  angry angry

Wenger would sell Adebayor if the money is right its becoming obvious he is losing his patience with him

@HNIC
Fergie does not view Wenger as a threat anymore so what do you expect?
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by allboyz(m): 8:09pm On May 15, 2009
[/quote]

Pavel Pogrebnyak, a former colleague of Andrei Arshavin's at Zenit St Petersburg, has spoken of his desite to move to the London club to be with his international teammate. Pogrebnyak could come in as a like-for-like replacement for Emmanuel Adebayor, the Togolese striker who has underwhelmed many this season at the Emirates and had previously been a target of AC Milan. Pogrebnyak said: "It is the first time I've heard about Arsenal's interest, but, of course, I'm pleased that the club is interested in me. I think that for any player to get the opportunity to work with Arsene Wenger would be a big step forward", [quote]

How good is this player? we sincerely need a world striker in person of Torres Or Berbatov  tongue grin Eto'0  i mean players of that calibre . . .players that can take 3 defenders at a time with pace and power and MUST be good in Air.

I would love to have an EPL defender in person of Distin (Portsmouth),Upson or Gary Cahill from Bolton.

I don't know if AW may purse Martins again . . . Martins will surely shine and score goal at Arsenal,because he will surely get passes and he has pace to run . .but he's too short for a striker . . . Vidic Crucial goals is what is giving UTD the tittle breathe now over L'pool . . . Most EPL goals this season were from dead ball situations.

Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by yousouph(m): 8:54pm On May 15, 2009
I hope Arsenal win a trophy next season because from what i decipher from AW interview with the shareholders was if the team didn't win a trophy in 1 to 2 years, its then that AW can say his youth policies has failed.

Pavel Pogrebnyak? Don't know much about him, and frankly if he has half the hunger and determination of AA23 then he will definitely be welcome.

In my opinion, we need players HUNGRY to prove themselves and achieve stuff. No offense to Ade - he seems to have gotten the big deal too soon - he feels he has arrived and isn't working as hard anymore.

Frankly that is the area where we have the least problems. If we have proper midfielders and defenders and Cesc is played in his ideal role, he will create enough chances for ANY striker to score 20+ goals a season.

Fix defence and central midfield and let players like Nasri, Cesc, AA23, (hopefully Rozzi) and Walcott play their preferred roles.

Wenger got pissed someone called Silvestre a geriatric. grin grin grin I wonder if he defended Song that way when people were dissing him two years ago. This French parapo nonsense must be removed from Arsene's system.
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by HNIC(m): 10:54pm On May 15, 2009
I found this on the net.
It's hilarious but very true.
Enjoy

THE MOST IRRITATING FOOTBALL CLICHES

15) It's a six-pointer

No, it's worth three points like every other game.

14) He earns every bit of his money

Come on now. I doubt that any athlete on the planet truly deserves to be paid millions of pounds, euros, dollars, etc.

13) Back of the net

If that were true, it would not be a goal. To be pedantic, if the ball hit the back of the net it would have had to have been a wild shot rebounding off someone's face in the crowd.

12) Oh that one has gone into row Z

How can a commentator see where Row Z is from their press box?

11) Goals win games.

Oh, well that explains everything. We're not adopting Wenger's points for pretty football system then? Where the delicate Wenger boys can swan around and wait for Mike Riley, Phil Dowd and Co. to raise their numbered place-cards every time they complete a through-ball.

10) Peter Crouch has a good touch for a big lad

Zlatan Ibrahimovic does, Marco Van Basten did, but Peter Crouch?

9) The Wall did its job

Or maybe the free kick taker was Frank Lampard.

cool They scored too early

Of course they would have preferred to fall behind in the first 10 minutes.

7) This is becoming a cricket score

It's 6-0, not 248/6.

6) It’s a game of two halves

And here I was, thinking it was a game of FOUR halves!

5) He was in acres of space

Yep; all 4046 square meters

4) You can’t afford to slip up at this level

So it is perfectly okay to under-hit a backpass, miss-kick a clearance or score an own goal at Sunday League level, but in the World Cup or Champions League it’s a hangable offence.

3) If that was on target, it would have been a goal.

If I had an extra quid, I'd be living the life!

2) The Makelele position

NO! Claude Makelele was not the first player in 120 years of football to play in the holding midfield role, so stop making out like he was.

1) English managers are never given a chance

How about because they are just really bad? An English manager hasn’t won the Premier League for 17 years, the current top six are all bossed by outsiders, while England are coached by an Italian. Blimey, it’s all because they are not given a chance. Bring back Sir Steve McClaren.

U dunno Pavel Pogrebnyak?
He was the plank causing us all kinda problems in the UEFA Super cup against Zenit.
Pavel is like Jan Koller or Carsten Jancker(Big, strong, and very good in the air).
I don't see how he can fit into Arsenal's stylish game play unless Wenger is finally leaving 4-4-2 for 4-2-3-1.

That annoys me as well.

We've known about the defensive midfield role for years. I remember
Westerhoff was always craving for it. He was glad when he found
Sunday Oliseh in 1993.

I also remember the first UCL final I watched LIVE. Milan V Barca in
1994. Marcel Dessaily was a holding midfielder.

Makalele was still at Nantes then

Guys, if you haver the time listen to this podcast from Arseblogger cool Its quite incisive on a lot of issues for all the "Doom and Gloom Merchants" and its a really funny episode (If you have not been into it, its quite fun. My second best would be the Guardian Podcast, quite smashing cheesy cheesy cheesy If you need a good laugh to ease the weekend, i recommend both podcasts cool LOYIKA CERTIFIED!!)

http://www.oleole.com/blogs/arseblog

Its fridays Arseblog post in case you are looking for the podcast (or Arsecast as Blogger loves to call it grin grin)

Ok we have a game against the Scumtwats in a bit, well its one of those games where we really have fcukall to gain sad sad Unless by some stroke of Angel Micheal sword half the United squard get leprosy or something, i really see them clinching the league today tongue as sad as that might sound, you can't but doff your hats to the Scum tongue tongue They deserve the accolades, as they have been the cream of the crop in England. (Still want Farca to thrash them though, but thats for another day)

All we have left to play for now is pride, so the least the boys can do is TO NOT LOSE AT OT!! But the news of the squad travelling up to "Scummyland" doesn't fill me with much hope or joy.

Oh well, guess i just have to watch the game and relax my mind.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!! And stay Arsenal True!! cool

Shut up!!! Must you mention how he was blasting that free kick through the wall into Olli Kahns net or the final coup de grace 4th goal on Bayern on that fateful night at St Petersburg?

Pogrebnyak was more influential than Arshavin in Zenits run in the UEFA cup win, Probably Zenits best player after Tymoschuk. He was joint highest goals scorer with Luca Toni in the UEFA cup of 2007/2008.

Good build and height and has a better positional sense than Adebayor

English Manager? Like Mark hughes? What does England have self.

Worst keepers Scott Carson, David Seaman

Worst defenders Rio ferdinand,

Worst coaches. Talentless youngster?

What does that tell you what exactly? Ok he disgraced Bayern, but these days even pub teams can score 5 goals against them, doesn't mean a thing. grin He had a few good games in Europe yes. He wasn't stunning at the Euros so I am not carried away. The only thing I'm sure of is that he'll likely be more professional than Ade. That said, I haven't watched him with enough interest to have a definitive opinion on the lad. cool

@ loyiks

blogger is a real clown with his views. I don't think he's hard enough on Wenger though - the man deserves all the slack he got from the shareholders during the week. tongue

The bookies have this game 5/1 for Arsenal to win - the longest odds EVER in a premiership game for Wenger. I guess the bookies are looking at all the defeats we've had and think there's an ice cube's chance in hell that we can win. sad

If for no other reason, I want us to win and lose the bookies a good chunk of cash. tongue

To all the folk fretting about Wenger buying, the definitive answer is out:


There is money available to buy,” he said. "We spoke about that today.

“Where do I buy or who, that is difficult to speak about because if you come out with that you pay double price. We are rich, but we are not rich enough to do that. However, we will buy.

I have money and I will buy

Even AA23 has thrown in his own tuppence

"We must buy in the summer,'' he told the Daily Mail. "Not more potential, but players who are ready to do it now, players like me.

"We need two or three. If Arsenal want to win they have to do it - we are tired of waiting.

Over to you Arsene = the gauntlet is down. cool
