There are thousands of prodigious talents in that neighbourhood better than Owusu Abeyie and Armand Traore.

Arsenal don't pay shit.
As at 2005/6, Senderos' weekly pay was less than £2000.[/quote]* just like there are many other players everywhere in France yet African import there is second to none, moreso why do Platini's kinsmen have more mixed race players than any in Europe ?

* any proof that Senderos was on less than 2k pounds at anytime whatsoever ?

Adokiye has taken it too far this time

wrong timing . . .

Interesting piece of information. . .[/quote]really interesting piece of information . . .

hardly believable I would say, or what is to say that it will take 6 weeks to recuperate from the loss of a mother-in-law    even the children would have been up and doing 

before it was chest infection, now its recuperation from tragedy, MUST WE HAVE AN EXCUSE FOR EVERYTHING THAT GOES DOWN AT THE EMIRATES ? 

a lot to talk about  

@Debosky

It wasnt an aside ! It was uncalled for, a remark that attracts distractionary scrutiny into what was or what could be . . . .

Back to the game. . .

* Good to see Almunia back in between the sticks, at least he now knows he needs to sit up else he loses his shirt

* Our back 4 were by far the best all game long as even our midfield struggled initially, what with Palacios effectively bossing the midfield, and Diaby being initially piss poor in passing and tackling ? or even with Arsenal being thoroughly outnumbered in the middle ?

* Wenger is a big gambler ! who would have thought with Bendtner injured, AW wouldnt bring in Ramsey or Nasri to compact the midfield where Arsenal wasnt getting it right ? FORTUNATELY ARSENAL CAPITALISED ON THE SPUDS' LOSS OF CONCENTRATION SHORTLY BEFORE THE END OF THE 1ST HALF !!! definitely not because we were GREAT like Ras said . . .

bringing Eduardo would also have been the killer, but who knows till what time we would be consoled with the excuse of; HE'S JUST RETURNING FROM INJURY    

Arshavin still is yet to show what stuff is made of . . .does this guy forget that HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE BIGGEST PLAYER IN THE EPL this season  

RVP squandered a lot of chances and defo there were instances he was supposed to be less selfish . . .but twas good to see him score a brace, TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN MUCH IS EXPECTED !!!

Bendtner; I tip this player to be the best footballer of the year for this current season, dont y'all see it ?    

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=278163.msg4830573#msg4830573 date=1256917752]Fully deserved:

Cristiano Ronaldo, Samuel Eto'o, Thierry Henry, Andres Iniesta, Lionel Messi, Xavi.

I can understand:

Iker Casillas, Didier Drogba, Steven Gerrard, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Frank Lampard, Luis Fabiano, Franck Ribery Wayne Rooney, Fernando Torres, David Villa.

What the Bleep?:

Michael Ballack, Gianluigi Buffon, Kaka, Carles Puyol, John Terry, Michael Essien.

Essien missed almost 6 months of football last season and he made the list?
What about Dzeko, Grafite, Gourcuff and Arshavin who had a brilliant Euro 2008 tournament?[/quote]exactly my thoughts !

but wait a minute, did I see KAKA on that reverse list of urs ? abeg take ur time o . . .

where is David Silva on that list ?

[quote author=~Gooner~ link=topic=324131.msg4828156#msg4828156 date=1256893216]Hi ya’ll as promised by Green Gooner, this is Slim with my first pre-match analysis, and my luck, the first being the North London derby. In truth derbies defy any form of analysis. But we’ll do what we will, so here goes….

In the run up to this fixture last season, the tall dude from Togo and captain Cesc Fabregas had promised the Arsenal faithfuls a game and result fit for the DVD collections. We did get a game fit for a DVD colletion, but for the results, erm…I’d rather file it under lessons in not letting the opponents come back into the game. Funny how we were just taught the same lesson again last week by another London derby.

In the final minutes of the game, Fabregas had received the ball somewhere in the middle of the park, and probably in an attempt to fulfil his promise seeing that the game was still at 4-3, he sought out the Togolese with a long pass. In retrospect, wrong decision, cos then the Spuds had the ball back in their possesion, and, what would we have, Modric hit a shot that went off Aluminia’s upright came back into play for Lennon to tap in for an equalizer. Moral of the story? Never try to pass the ball to the Togolese. Simply put he is a piece of….sh…Ok, off track, I’m here for the pre-match analysis.[/quote]At this point I didnt deem it fit to read on further I wonder what exactly will make u guys forget Adebayor and lets pretend he doesnt exist ? y'all have a way of talking about the dark patches he was known with, what of his astonishing contibutions even inconsistent ?

Drogba at periods last season was inconsistent, Etoo, Kanoute ?? so why do u all keep yapping and yapping off

I remember that we used to savour Ade against the Spuds as he has a way of scoring against them same as he used to against the Manure team . . .FFS can u guys just chill out ? ITS SOUNDING LIKE A BROKEN RECORD ALREADY !!! haaaaaaaaaaaaaa . . . .

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=319383.msg4825128#msg4825128 date=1256845029]Berba has won his country's best player THRICE(tied with Stoichkov).
Ibrahimovic has done nothing for Sweden but he is favoured because he has played in bigger European sides than Berbatov.

Even in the goals scored in their clubs. . . .

Ibrahimovic has scored 163 goals in 363 appearances.(0.45 goals per game)
Berbatov has scored 190 goals in 424 appearances.(0.45 goals per game)

Ibrahimovic's club achievements is a myth. He has not done better than Berbatov in club football.

With the big HELP of a 36 yr old Henrik Larsson who is far rated in Sweden than Ibrahimoflop.
Berbatov and Petrov are the only decent players in Bulgaria while Ibrahimoflop had the help of Larsson, Ljunberg, Elamander, Svensson, etc.[/quote]Beautiful !

since they are saying Berba too should go to another league and perform, what sayest thou ?

so, on what basis do we say Ibra is better than Berba ?

Berba has done more for country, scoring more goals than Ibra whilst Ibra has done more for club . . .

Sweden and Bulgaria ?

The Bulgarian edges it jare, forget all the hype  

chic2pimp:
Who do ya think his the better player Ibra or Berba?

Berbatov is more intelligent, in fact far better . . .

let Ibra come and play in the EPL and u will understand  

David Villa by way of goals ratio for club and country is arguably the best striker in the world

tkb417:

Jesus christ!!!

yes . . .he truly wept !!!

BREAKING NEWS !!!

Fans are being tear-gased at the Kaduna centre of the U-17 WC, details presently are sketchy . . .

chic2pimp:
Ibra caused Rio & Vidic all sorts of problems when the two teams met @ Old Trafford. Correct me if I am wrong but didn't he hit the post? . Can't wait for Barca vs United,when Ibra finally proves he is better than Berba.

even teams from English lower leagues cause Rio and Vida problems from time to time . . .

IBRA who

Kitaun Kitaun Kitaun, you're a troublemaker!!
But how you take know he's not up to task on bed?

by the way they write u shall know them

HNIC:
@rithchboy
Of course Nasri was the top dog, but let's not forget Aaron Ramsey.
He was a monster in midfield
Dictating the pace and also intricate passes in tight situations.

oh yes ! Ramsey was the main man yesterday like HNIC has rightly said, though he too made some funny mistakes in the middle, atimes those goofs seemed unpardonable but he more than made up for it with his game play which astounded Plessis, Insua and coy . . . what was with the numerous mistakes Nasri kept making last nite ? the only excuse for him was that he was just coming back from injury, yet no one can deny some of his moves were electric  

why is Debosky posting as if all was well about that match

Fabianski looked shaky number of times, he is still fond of wandering too much out of his area, am beggining to think Arsenal should replace him with Ambrose Vanzekin  

Gibbs was quite for most parts of the game and like Gooner said I was a lot more concerned abt Gilbert as he seemed to be adding little to the attack, initially seemed to lack the confidence of the typical Arsenal player as he never tried to keep the ball for a second but then he was effective all game long as the game progressed  

Silvestre and SENDEROS    

Eastmond's removal could easily have backfired as I was wondering what AW was thinking bringing in Randall that's slower and doesnt seem to be able to play well alongside Ramsey and we almost paid dearly for it as Randall couldnt effectively challenge the Liverpudlians for the ball when they got into dangerous positions in search of an equaliser  

I hope Sanchez Watt is not beginning to believe in the hype that the media is building around him, dude needs to be clinical else he should get ready to be loaned out by January . . .

Eduardo didnt have any reason being on that field for so long as his performance was dismal, except of course I dont the meaning of the word again  

Bendtner deserves to be named WORLD FOOTBALLER OF THE YEAR this season . . .nuff said    

allboyz:
lets go kids. . . .Gunners 1800

see wetin Loyika cause ?

anyways, its goin to be a testy one and I expect it will be tough for us, but we would win this ! no GERRARD, no Torres, why shall I fear ?

Cristalz:
What kind of wahala is this.  .  .Nigeria-Honduras is at 7pm.

Game won't be over when this one starts and I don't want to miss a bit of either.

@Borat
True that.
But, I think United won't take this one lightly.
Burnley left some scars.

Burnley, Barnsley.  .  .scary opponents in league games.

I see the end of the Scum team in this tourney tonite . . .

ask T.B Joshua who concurs with me    [quote][/quote]

only idiots would believe that these Eaglets wont win Honduras

if there is anything I am sure of, it certainly that we will win tonight regardless of what formation, or which players are fielded . . .

watch out for Okoro, Ojabu and Azeez

FL Gators:
Nope, last thing on my mind as of now

no wonder u rejected my ring without telling me why ?

yes u were right on the 60 mins thingy !

but no u were wrong about whether we were not having things our way at 2-0 up

at 2-0 up it doesnt matter how well u are playing, a few changes here and there is allowed for the balance in technicality . . .

players like Song can have their temperament worked on by opponents either the players or the coach, explains what transpired with Ade and even repeated itself at the Nations cup qualifiers  

as a coach, at 2-0 up, having a match as crucial as with the yids, I wouldnt for the life of me keep Song on the field !!!

not that he is irreplacible at the moment, but he is the most consistent performer in our squad, why lose him

just a question;

would the heavens had fallen if Song had been booked for that foul ?

and defo that would have meant Song would miss our next match against Spurs !!!

and that is a match that would be played and won in the midfield . . .

its not rocket science . . .after being 2 goals up Song should have been removed, as a coach never u think of the present circumstances alone, plan ahead of the uncertain !!!

   

Reality check !!!

From time to time, games like that against WH should be deemed good enuff to help our title aspirations  

1st off, Wenger messed it all up -

why allow Song stay on for 90 minutes whilst it was already obvious that he was getting agitated from the 1st goal having been scored? this is a player we all were praying shouldnt be carded so he could play against Spurs  

another thing, why do people just like this follow follow attitude in analysing players ? Diaby hardly put a foot wrong and its been severally disputed that Hines ran into him yet peeps here still feel Diaby should take the big fat stick for conceding the free kick - how appaling ?  

Song needs help and am not sure AW is seeing it- Song suddenly feels the failure of the team as a whole is his hence he never wants to see a player go past him, I say that is just a way of putting unneccessary pressure on himself; THERE IS NO INDISPENSABLE MAN !!!

Mannone; what do I have to say about Vito that u all havent said ? Almunia is sure not far away from getting his position back, forget what Arseblogger said  

Rozzi oh Rozzi      

isnt AW seeing that there is currently a dearth of strikers right about now or what explains this formation that allows Arshavin to hide himself away for most periods of the game on the wings ?

to think that its this same ARSHAVIN that has making a lot of noise about the attitude and character of Arsenal players dude has been playing nada for us all season, accepted that like Sauron said he just needs to make his imapct felt withing 2 minutes but imagine if Fab4 or Song decides they just need to be brilliant for 2 minutes in a game what would be our lot ??

no one needs to tell Arshavin to come play with the team, struggle for the ball in deep positions either upfront or down our half, he need to show more commitment, more guile, more zeal and AW might need to help RVP as he defo cant hold his own upfront like a DD, _{I guess someone said this earlier}  

I think Sagna is improving on his crosses and I also believe Gallas himself needs be careful of clumsy challenges, he wont be always lucky !!!
