Sessegnon is despoiling the entire nigerian defence, hope AW'z scouts are watching this!

I actually fell asleep on my couch while watching the Nigerian match (a little too much pasta in the afternoon), but Sessegnon is good and won MOM in the match PSG played against Athletico during the Emirates cup.
I hope most disgruntled fans can now put the Everton draw in perspective after watching them demolish Shitty, if we are able to get the 6 points against Bolton, things will look much better.

Seems those old pensioners barred their teeth today and gave a very poor Sunderland the hiding of their lives, I'm sure they were able to do that being very refreshed from the break occasioned by the weather, those old legs will soon tire out when games start coming thick and fast as we found out in December and I believe they will be found out when the UCL and FA cup are in full swing.

If Sessegnon of Benin and PSG is not an African, he would have been a very good back up for Song I think. I remember seeing him at the Emirates cup where he was very good. Versatile too.

A player like Stephane Sessegnon is actually one of the major things lacking in the Eagles at present, Amodu has not evolved a system that works and has a lot of square pegs in round holes. I hope Benin doesn't bury the Eagles finally today.

I did a long write up on why I didn't believe the Kroenke takeover wld happen anytime soon but it was swallowed up by the spam bots, if an administrator cld dig it out for me that wld be fine as I can't be bothered to write it all up again. My grey cells have gone very lazy.

It is a pity that time has passed Mark Randall by, he is about the oldest of our youngsters now after Gilbert who has also been transfer listed and they will likely both go soon. The fact that Randall could only get a loan deal to a league 1 club speaks volumes of how lowly rated he is, his failed loan trial at Derby obviously did him a lot of disservice.
I saw this coming when Coquelin and Eastmond displaced him from the CM position in the reserves earlier this season. He may not be coming back from this loan deal if MK Dons can get into the championship.
Where is the bloke who wanted to sell a ticket the other day, does he perchance have tickets to the match at the Reebok? my brother and I are going down to watch it if the weather stays okay.

Thus sayeth the lord, I have put the spirit of Maradona into Fabregas, Alex Song Billong belongs to me, I will give him a new Song and upon this rock I will deliver many trophies to the emirates somebody shout _{Halle Berry}, sorry Halleluyah.

Oh mamamamama, ah yah yah yah rasputin and dipo2much have no faith but I will help them, they will believe when they see Messi taking a pay cut to come and play at the emirates.

Elu elu elu elu, as Elijah outran the chariots of Ahab, so shall Sol Campbell outrun Wayne Rooney and these Chelsea Goliaths you see now, you shall see them no more for I will frown upon them like Simon Cowell.

Eli eli eli Eljero Elia, do we need another attacking midfielder? too much of anything is the best, Dr Kitaun, it is not textbooks and strategy we are discussing here, remove your glasses and pray, have you forgotten the miracles of Damman and Atlanta? pls where is the offering basket? I hope you havent forgotten the sharing formula?

I will now ascend into the 7th dimensional soccer plane to consult with the angels of injury and officiating, they must remove that thing that the enemies have put into Van Persie's boots until then I hand over to His most Holiness and the preeminent pastor of our time, the honorable Pastor Edoyad, D.Lit, 3Sc, BCC, PHd, D.footie e.t.c., Oh my God, this is prayer time and not toasting or kissing time, why are you standing so close to Sister Muki? I will get a restraining order.

Maybe because they like other positions apart from the missionary position.

*dies*

Seriously though, this guy must be very good to be U21 captain of his country at 17 yrs of age (even though they might be into the age manipulation  thingy over there too) and if he's already captain of his country at U21 level, then he must be looking to get into the first team as soon as possible. The guy must be a very confident fella.
The guy is actually as tall as Adebayor at 1.91m, so is definitely physical enough to play in the PL. If this story is true, then we might already have our Alex Song backup, only he is 17.

WENGER!!!!!
Another kid??
What can i do other then

I think it is good, it can only improve the quality of youngsters that we produce having so many good players around.
even playing training matches in the academy would be like playing in a youth world cup with so many good players around.

Another youth player to be signed from Young guns, I read this somewhere yesterday and it is being confirmed on most Arsenal youth soccer blogs. The more the merrier 

Make una no break my head o, all those waiting for that world class Center forward.

[Quote]
Arsenal will complete the signing of Bolivan winger Samuel Galindo next week, Young Guns can confirm. The player is in London and the club are in the process of applying for a ’special talent’ work permit. If granted, it would allow Galindo to go straight into the squad, instead of facing a lengthy loan spell.

Samuel, the current captain of Boliva’s Under 21 national team despite being only 17, will be a surprise signing after it appeared he would seal a switch to Everton earlier this week. Following a week-long trial, David Moyes sat down with the prospect to discuss terms, but an agreement couldn’t be reached. Instead Arsène Wenger asked for a quick look at the left winger and was instantly impressed. A quick deal has been done with Real America which will see a figure of around £500,000 change hands, although that will rise once he makes 50 appearances for the club.[/quote]For those who want a look at Wellington Silva, here is a clip of him scoring 1 and assisting 2 in the Brazillian league over the weekend.

Can you show me any article where Wilshere has been rated above Morrison in the web space? Any one?
At least, i got one to show.
Show us here where Wilshere has been hailed as the BRIGHTEST English prospect and better than Ravel even if it came from Arsenal apologists.[/quote]Brightest prospect is not an award that is handled out like the PFA player of the year but no one in Arsenal will compare Wilshere with Morrison because he is a nobody as far as we are concerned. Here are various posts about Wilshere from none Arsenal sources, can you please bring up one from someone notable and not manure related about Morrison?

From Andy Cole (former Manure player) I wonder why he hasn't said anything about Morrison  
[Quote]"I've written about Arsenal's Jack Wilshere before," Cole said in The Independent. "The kid is 17 [sic] and his talent is frightening.

"Every time I've seen him he's played well. I'm surprised he hasn't played more often because he's a diamond, a superstar in waiting."[/quote]Fabio Capello (English Manager)
[Quote]

“He has a big personality, he scores goals, he plays without fear and he has big confidence,” he added.

"His team-mates always pass the ball to him. That is not normal for a player so young.”[/quote]Stuart Pearce (English U21 Coach)
[Quote]
"The same will happen to Jack. He's got to try to win a place in this Under-21 team at the moment - and he's got to try to win a place in Arsenal's team at the moment.

"That will happen in time, there is no doubt about that because the boy has some fantastic talent.

"Time will tell and his ability will come to the fore. In that time I'll make sure I protect him as much as I can."

"He'll come through in his own good time. There is no point in me lauding him up and talking about senior football at the moment," he added.[/quote]

I second you joo, anybody wey no like wetin The Lord Wenger dey do make he go head pole.  very decent back up at CB with a very good pedigree, the only unknown is his fitness and Wenger is no idiot to take an unfit player.

Arsenal loanee to Celta Vigo, Pedro Bothelo won the penalty that knocked Villareal out of the Copa Del Ray in Spain last night. I have been lookin forwrd to seeing this guy in action as he is likely to link up with the first team in the summer and shld review the match soon. Will comment on the chap later.

No2Atheism:
You are going to make a very good propaganda minister cus u seem to have this natural ability to explain away even the unexplainable . . .

Morrison shytes on him. The fact that we are even comparing Wilshere in the Arsenal senior team to a player that is yet to sign his professional contract speaks volume.[/quote]The only person doing the comparison here is a certain Mr. Sauron and his weather man friend Mr. Winter. Can you bring up any other article anywhere comparing Morrison to Wilshere? besides why does the article about Morrison have to contain references to Wilshere and not vice-versa? will yu take yur own advice and read between the lines?

[/quote]We have them in any way yu choose to classify, but you don't have them at all at present and I'm talking about the present so dnt start calling Giggs and Scholes youngsters at almost 40 years old as those are the only youngsters yu can claim won anything for you and even then they did it in their early to mid 20s so our youngsters have still got time to win every possible trophy, even the world cup.

Found this clip of Robbie Savage having a go at a radio presenter very funny.

Why is the team inconsistent?, "If I knew that I'd be manager of Man Utd" LOL.

and this sign also is funny:

Actually, this could turn out to be a stroke of genius, Campbell was still the main man in Portsmouth defence last season and kept out the likes of Younes Kaboul from the portsmouth defence last season partnering Distin who later went to Everton for 4 million and won the FA cup in the 07/08 season.
Arsene is in no way a slowPoke and he's seen this guy in training for the past 2 mnths (so he must be fit as Arsene wldn't have less). It helps us cover our bases in the short term without jeopardising places for our upcoming CBs (apart from Senderos) and also puts an older head in the dressing room that the young lads can learn from.

It must have flew over your head Pompey is an European "nation". Sol knows  [/quote]Arsene will still let Bartley go out on loan at least for a season, its the way he does with his CBs since Senderos, Nordtveit should be back to compete for a first team place but I must say Nurnberg has been leaking goals like crazy but I'm not sure if Nordtveit is just unlucky to be in a very poor club. They don't even use him as a CB there.

One player I've had my eye on for a while is JET and he seems to be stepping up his performances, actually got an hat trick against West Ham reserves today and didn't do his push for a first team place any harm at all. He might actually be better suited to get into the PL before most of the other reserve players due to his physical attributes but I think Arsene wants him to go out on loan first. That is one powerhouse MF in the Diaby mould we've already got waiting in the wings.

follypimpi:
I see no reason why we cant bring Flamini back since Sol is back now.

Big difference follypimpi, one is free the other is under contract and actually stabbed Arsene in the back on his way out.

Have yu folks heard, Sol Campbell will be turning out for our reserves against West Ham today. Might be a prelude to some sort of deal to have him around as backup for Gallas and Verminator. Not sure what to think of this yet, but he still played in the PL last season. 

"I need to get minutes under my belt, a couple of reserve games at least before I can start looking any further ahead. I am signing for Arsenal until the end of the season. There are still a few technicalities to iron out, but I have signed for Arsenal until the end of the season, and it's fantastic, great, marvelous.

debosky:
Fergie's folly in letting Tevez go is apparent - he is scoring for fun under managers that believe in him and give him the opportunity to shine.

If the old baba cld turn back the hands of the clock, I'm sure he wouldnt let him go, hw can anyone compare Tevez with Berba? technically they are very close but Berba doesn't have half of Tevez's hustle.
