Not a nice way to close off the season, some shocking performances I would expect cos I didn't watch the match.

It was a combination . . . usual suspects like Fabianski and Diaby but unusual ones like Clichy and Sagna.

Wenger is the loser at the end of the day.

Clichy should be hang himself on a stick!!!

Oh . . . so you bring in Van P now?? IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clichy keeps letting everyone cut in . . . Silvestre's being saving his backside.

Campbell is on form. . . he keeps the offside line and falls back the next second.
That's sumn you don't buy.

Read between the lines, spending is not the only way to achieve success, other means may take more time YES but they can succeed as well as just throwing money at the problem. Y'all just want a quick fix but there are none in the path we've chosen, even money doesn't achieve immediate success as City have shown.

Nah . . . it's not just money, it's money plus a winning mentality plus a good manager and some other things.
We have a good manager, City don't.
The winning mentality comes in 1-2 years . . . that's even easier with a good coach.

As I said before, in modern football money helps a lot and is more effective at doing the job than the youth system.
How . . . the guys with the money still come and buy the best of the crop at the end of the day, players are getting greedier . . . we're almost working in a way that's completely opposite to the mindset of our product.

That's one thing that makes it hard to use the youth system, another is the fact that hey, we already invested 5-6 years into this system, players averagely play at acceptable trophy-winning level for 5-10 years. . . are we seriously thinking we'll see Eboue any better than this??

He is being a sacrificial lamb, because at the end of the day . . . all he has to say is, give me money for five Vermalens or I'll go to Madrid. He's one of the most respected coaches in the world, most teams will beg to have a coach that can work wonders when given money.

duduspace:
He has stated the obvious, we will always pay within our means but Chelsea can always tap into Abramovic's pocket true enough. But despite that he still believes we can compete (like I said, in a different way). And it is very true that all the good players cannot go to Chelsea, we did get Vermaelen and Arshavin remember?
If the truth of our situation still hasn't hit you with that statement then I don't know what will convince you.

Exactly . . . he said one thing and said the exact opposite in one breath.
You can't compete on the basis that 'all the good players cannot go to Chelsea' . . . it's just like saying 'We're competing for all the trophies because Chelsea cannot win everything' that's not competing, that's playing second fiddle.

Besides you say it like there are no other clubs that are stronger than us in the market . . . Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool and probably Spurs if they get a UCL spot.
In my own opinion, Wenger is making himself the sacrificial lamb, he's being the one to lie to handle the fans instead of fighting for his full managerial rights having being here for years.

If there's anything we can draw from this . . . it's the fact that the Nigerian Media lacks integrity.
Why would you invite this same man that almost had you on press-gag come and speak on your event??

This same guy allegedly blew up the most respected journalist Nigeria ever had.
Dele Giwa . . . the Sahara Reporters of those days that didn't need the internet got blown up for what he believed in and what do you do next??
You give this guy a platform to sell his image to the public??

I'm ashamed of the Nigerian press. . . there goes your integrity, straight into the bin.

@duduspace

Wenger is a degree holder . . . he speaks like a poet.
Leaving the most important thing at the end

'However they cannot all go to Chelsea, it is as simple as that. There are top players outside of the ones Chelsea want to buy who are good enough for us."

Here's Wenger telling us that we will still play second fiddle to Chelsea in the transfer market. We will buy Chelsea rejects and we will not do anything about our wage bill.

You gotta give it to I-tunes . . . they made a song from that crap studio sound like sumn made by Kanye West.

EloSela:
Good, pass on the message to friends and family. It is only 79p for a track, less than a can of coke.

Manure guyz are gay. . . . what da heck is this

That's nothing . . . he's already broken up with Giggs.
It's not like he's cheating or anything.

debosky:
According to Dudu - because Utd have had a bad season, they might have another bad one next season, and because Chelski is old, they will also get worse, which opens up the ground for Arsenal to stroll in and dominate - of course based on our endlessly improving youth who are so good that the only time they have looked good is when the others have been rubbish.

Are we seriously going to base our plans for next season on a United blip??
So we're going to put Fletcher and Carrick as CBs in mind when we plan for next season??
Or am I the only one seeing two/three stars going to Chelsea??

Let's even look at this future we were promised back then . . .Mannone, Eboue,  Senderos, Djourou, Clichy, Diaby, Flamini, Fabregas, Walcott, Van Persie, Adebayor, Larsson, Conolly,  Bendtner, Lupoli, Hoyte, Owusu-Abeyie, Aliadiere.

That's the future team Wenger sold to us in 2005. . . ka ma puro ka ma jale, how many of them have reached the level we expected and are still at the club??
Now that future 11 had five years to win sumn for us . . . ZILCH.
Now I'm being told to wait for Fabianski, Gibbs, Djourou, Traore, Gavin Hoyte, Ramsey, Merida, Wilshere, Frimpong, Watt and Sunu??

Erm . . . and till then we'll keep winning awards for Second Most Entertaining team, Best Ladies Team, Most Promising Youth Structure, Best Stadium, Best Cooks in Stadium . . . Best Website, Finest Chics in Stadium

[quote author=oyinda. link=topic=427433.msg5910639#msg5910639 date=1271541774]that's everywhere!
but seriously though. don't let ppl know u listen to those old school songs otherwise u will cease to be cool. cool= popular mainstream.

u listen to csny?[/quote]It's weird where I live that black is cool considering the fact that this is one of the two BNP constituencies.

Hehehe . . . I listen to them, that makes them cool . . . I made Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin cool, this will be easy.

Nah . . . never tried CSNY. Are they any good??

[quote author=kay_pumpin link=topic=400313.msg5910634#msg5910634 date=1271541680]I am not even referring to the BIG 2 that has that certain je ne sais quoi about them,i am talking about those that are supposed to be outside the big 4(the Citys and Spurs of this world).
Everyone and his dog knows Man City will continue with their spending and will be a threat next season and that is putting it mildly.Their present players will have better time gelling too.Tottenham will spend and the core of their players are young too.How old is Dawson,Huddlestone,Defoe,Bale et al?

It is why i said Dudu is too focused on Arsenal and not looking at the bigger picture.Yes it is not all gloom and doom but to look at the strings that needs to be pulled to take us to the next level seems to run foul of Wenger's doctrine.[/quote]I know . . . everyone knows Man City is not the same club Henry and Pires were doing the 1-2 penalty against.
Aston Villa, Tottenham, Man City and underperforming Everton are now big teams in their own right.
They're beginning to see UEFA Cup as a failure . . . Liverpool will prolly get sold to another super-rich guy.

I'm not sure today's EPL is the right place to do the youth thing when everything else is against you. . . bigger spending opponents, the 90 minute rule, the ever-waiting vultures with better trophy chances and accounts getting ready to tempt your breakthrough stars , everything is against this youth policy.
It's not as easy as it would have been in the 90s when the the record transfer fee was 12 mil or sumn.

[quote author=kay_pumpin link=topic=400313.msg5910552#msg5910552 date=1271540175]Dudu is an incorrigible optimist.I can not fault his passion but he seems to be so solely focused on AFC he is somewhat blind to the improvement of other teams in the EPL.

What this team needs are WINNERS.Not players whose heads drop at every mountaneous challenge.You don't buy learn winning mentaity.You earn it.

Look at the Man U team player for player and tell me what world class players are there or what edge they have agaisnt us man for man.But a player like Gibson who have seen older players win it will bay for blood to have the same feeling.Who amongst the current players in Arsenal can induct the rest with such passion?

You know a winner when you see one.That's why the energy Sol puts into celebrating a goal is more than the total energy output of Almunia for the entire season. [/quote]It's not even about their improvement or lack of it . . . it's about their level.
Man Utd and Chelsea are in a level that makes you question if there's still a Big Four.

To think they're having a bad season. . . and this is Arsenal's second best season since 2005.
When last did we stay in the EPL race this long?? It's distant past.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I gave you a chance to say sumn smart . . . you didn't.
I'm sorry but right now you're making this sound more and more like a farce.

'Eldee is sexist' . . . but erm 'he has a crush on Eva Longoria', 'actually I'm being bias' and yeah 'I actually said sumn silly' . . . 'actually he's not sexist, he's swayed by their looks' oh yeah that's still sexist'. . . and all time classic . . . 'he's a secretly sexist, bias, Desperate Housewives fan that's got a crush on Eva Longoria''

Now that's some Chris Rock ish right there.

seriously though, those are all my songs.

i hope u have time after time, echo n goonies r good enough otherwise i dun kno what to say[/quote]Nah . . . I didn't do Girls just Wanna Have Fun . . . it'd have been too extreme

Yeah i did Time After Time and I Drove All Night . . . I'm sure that in a few days we'll have other guys doing it too.
To the young guys in my area, black means cool.

[quote author=oyinda. link=topic=427433.msg5910391#msg5910391 date=1271537471]oh and fleetwood mac songs too[/quote]Nah . . . I never liked their hits, so I stayed off that band.

Amya:
You don't get it, do you. Read it again.

You know what, there's no need to go personal here.
Your whole argument is baseless and you know that.

In one argument, you've termed me sexist and admitted that you were being bias . . . seriously, you'll have to give me a good reason to consider the next thing you say valuable.

Amya:
Yeah yeah, it's ok for you to back out of the arguement. If i were arguing against me, i'd have done that a long time ago.

One thing i'm certain about, is the whole truth would come out one day.

Hehehe . . . I warned you.
Now listen to yourself speak.

[quote author=oyinda. link=topic=427433.msg5910114#msg5910114 date=1271533826]hahah u amaze me.  why r u playing it extremely loudly though  
hope your not one of those reo speedwagon and pat benatar fans  [/quote]It's called 'making a statement' . . . like 'yeah, just because I'm young and black don't mean I'm going to do what you expect me to do'

Hehehe . . . I actually played Pat Benatar's 'Love is a Battlefield' and a couple of Cindy Lauper hits too.
