~Sauron~: She said something like Arsenal players are not good enough. She asked Deji Tinubu that if you were to pick 11 players in the whole world, you wont pick any arsenal player |

HNIC: May i ask why? We're supposed to be a "big" team. Man U would never lose to Man City even if they fielded youngsters. If we had played the Totenham team they played yesterday we would have lost . . . FACT. |

akinalabi: Do you know a better player than Eboue. . . .cos i dunno anyone better than Eboue on this planet. Apart from his precocious skills, his British accent is mint when he gripes to the match officials. |
Re: Carling Cup: Manchester City Vs Arsenal [3 - 0] On Wed, 2nd Dec by nateevs(m): 11:19pm On Dec 02, 2009 |
Carling Cup is the competition for Arsenal to field young players. . Yet Wenger did not shake Hughes' hand after the match. It's so evident he doesn't care. |
Re: Carling Cup: Manchester City Vs Arsenal [3 - 0] On Wed, 2nd Dec by 4Play(m): 11:19pm On Dec 02, 2009 |
Eboue and Silvestre are the most underated players in that Arsenal squad. Eboue is far better than Fabregas, IMHO. |
Re: Carling Cup: Manchester City Vs Arsenal [3 - 0] On Wed, 2nd Dec by proudly9ja(m): 11:24pm On Dec 02, 2009 |
Eboue/Fabregas?? Im trying hard not to gloat cos I feel the pain too but when during the summer some of us cried to high heavens that we didn't have a complete team yet, some people said we should keep quiet and watch. Well 3 games, 7 goals conceededand none scored, I wonder when we should start panicking. Meanwhile, I think the kids tonight showed more determination even though they lost. The first team shows no urgency and infact, the players who messed up today are from the first team. Rosicky comes to mind. Let's move on and concentrate on the remaining cup competitions. I do not think the PL title has been won and lost yet and we still have the FA and CL to look forward to. All Arsene needs to do is spend some cash in January and we r there. Some wise person once said that if you keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect a different result, then there's something wrong somewhere. Someone needs to tell that to Monsieur Arsene. |

proudly9ja: We've heard this line over and over again for the past 5 years.He had the opportunity to buy Arshavin but opted for the January window when he was already cup tied.Now's the turn of Chamakh/Balotelli. Sometimes,i wonder what runs through the guy's veins. |

She no just wowo, she just didn't get it right. . . . . its not about featuring babes as Analysts But please get girls that know what is on ground. . . . this is not a fashion show-off We are talking of football here. . I wonder why Wengey keeps throwing away the only trophy he has the capability to win. He will come back and tell us its not his main target yet the ones he targets keeps eluding him He had better stop clutching at straws. . . . . .the trophy cabinet is likely to remain dusty this season again!! |

Arsenal Comment: Arsene Wenger's Tantrum Is An Insult To His Club's History Wenger's conduct unacceptable as an Arsenal manager Dec 3, 2009 1:41:50 PM CC: Arsene Wenger - Mark Hughes, Manchester City - Arsenal (Getty Images) Photo Gallery Zoom CC: Arsene Wenger - Mark Hughes, Manchester City - Arsenal (Getty Images) Related Links Teams * Arsenal Players * Arsene Wenger There used to be an old football joke in London about West Ham United. It went along the lines of 'when the Christmas decorations go up, West Ham go down the league'. It was coined in the days when the pitches got wet, the mud and the puddles upset the ball-players and the young graduates of the East London academy at Upton Park struggled against physically-superior opponents. Something similar is threatening to become a tradition for Arsenal. But there is a major difference. The Hammers and their fans have a sense of humour and are self-effacing, too. The Gunners, alas, under Arsene Wenger's leadership, currently look like a club where everyone takes themselves very seriously - and find cracking a joke as difficult as laughing at themselves if they miss the bus. Certainly, Mark Hughes is no source of mirth for the Arsenal boss as Wednesday night's act of hauteur at Eastlands demonstrated, Wenger flaring his nostrils and almost cocking a snook at the Manchester City manager after the home side won 3-0 and in some style. After two crushing defeats and three domestic fixtures without a goal, it was understandable, but unacceptable, that Wenger did not feel like shaking hands with Hughes. The pair have had 'previous' and they clashed verbally during the first half. Hughes' claim that it is a professional courtesy and a sign of respect that sportsmen shake hands at the end of their contest was snootily waved aside by the Alsatian. "I think I have nothing to say," Wenger told a television interviewer. "I am free to shake hands with whom I want." Greetings | Wenger usually acknowledges his rivals At a subsequent news briefing with the print media, he added, when pressed: "I have no professional courtesy." Yes, it was drawled sarcastically, but the black humour, if intentional, was lost and the irony went without appreciation. For this was a more serious matter than the result of a cup-tie. Here, Wenger missed the bus and then, instead of grinning and shrugging it off with a typical football manager's cliche ("that's football" or "it wasn't our night", or a shaft of dry wit - of which he is eminently capable - he stormed off to sulk in his own self-delusion. For Wenger, it may have been just another in a series of 'Basil Fawlty' moments, but on a night when he fielded a team of youngsters and reserves to gain good experience, it was a terrible example of sporting behaviour. He was not the only losing manager in the quarter-finals. Indeed, he was in good company as all three of London's top clubs went out after trips to Lancashire - Tottenham Hotspur losing at Manchester United and Chelsea, on penalties, at Blackburn Rovers. But he is the only one to have lost his composure and sense of humour. In short, it proved beyond doubt that he is a bad loser. And that, for an Arsenal manager, is not acceptable conduct. Every day and every week, hundreds of football managers finish up on the losing side, but shake hands with their conquerors. It is one of the oldest rules in the book of sport. Remember how Roger Federer reacted to his defeat by Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon in 2008? Or how Australia's cricketers handled losing the Ashes? Or the style in which Felipe Massa congratulated Lewis Hamilton on winning the F1 world title last year in Sao Paulo? It is what the old Corinthian ideals are all about - the very ideals that are so entwined with the traditions of Arsenal; and so entwined with Wenger's passionate embracing of his club and its history. And his love of British life and the values that are wrought from Rudyard Kipling's treatment of those twin imposters, Triumph and Disaster, So, on behalf of all Arsenal fans and all football-lovers, and the millions of supporters of the game who admire and respect Wenger's wonderful achievements in the English game, let us hope he has the grace to reflect on this, make a phone call to Manchester City and laugh at the folly of his ways. It would be good if it was done swiftly. Arsenal need their manager to show them the way - the right way. hahaaaa |

Re: Carling Cup: Manchester City Vs Arsenal [3 - 0] On Wed, 2nd Dec by afrodoc(m): 7:36pm On Dec 03, 2009 |
D team is made up of only artists and no artisans,a sure recipe 4 gallant failure! Where r d neversay die defenders in d calibre of Adams,Keown,Campbell? D midfield enforcers lyk Viera,Parlour and Gilberto? Winning trophies isnt all abt silky skills,u nid players wit balls (as Vito Corleone would hav said).unfortunately those r scarce at d emirates;Gallas,Cesc and mayb RVP r d only gunners i believe hav cojones grandes.d others r "coasters" who flourish when d going is good BUT fold unda pressure |

Chelsea on d other hand is full of born leaders;Cech,Terry,Carvalho,Essien,Ballack,Lampard,Drogba,A Cole and Deco r all mentally tough and r gr8 fighters.ManU has VDS,Neville,Rooney,Rio,Fletcher,Giggs as leaders.d gunners r lacking in dis respect i.e leaders and fighters |

But what is expected from the senior team if it's always a mix of 'previous' carling cup losers? I don't think experienced carling cup losers like Vela,Eboue,Silvestre,Song and co are 'young blood' in the sense portrayed. my thoughts anyhow- |
