Uche's been doing well down the left, but no understanding with this Akpalla guy

Is Kanu playing as a centre forward or schemer?
Or is he tired already?

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=277718.msg3966449#msg3966449 date=1243969307]HNIC, is it true Kaka has signed for Real Madrid??
£56 million??

------------------------------------------------------------

Kanu still plays football for Nigeria?[/quote]I think it's a done deal
Perez has started AGAIN
Galactico era arrives yet again

Anelka is playing
Why isnt Mikel or Yobo playing?
They all played on Saturday!

My boys will show Paddy and his gang today!
Go Super eagles

Ibime:
Mitigating circumstances. . . . first of all, Bassong only really played the last half of the season. . . . second of all, Habib Beye missed half the season. . . . thirdly, Damien Duff played the whole season at left-back. . . . not exactly the kind of protection from the flanks required. . . . finally, when Nicky Butt is the only holding midfielder in front of you, you're gonna have problems. . . . the boys were left terribly exposed, but they will come good eventually.

@ Ibime
Newcastle have spiritual problems.
I still cannot believe that team went down.
My fear is that, if they dont come up after one season, we may be seeing another Leeds/Leceister/Forest. . . . .

FBS was talking crap joo. . . . .
as always about Arsenal
all this permutations about who we will buy really annoys me
anyway, I came accross this interesting piece about the EPL in 08/09 season

Oldest squad - Hull city, average age 27.48 years

player to have spent most seasons at a premier league club Ryan Giggs - 19 years

Player to have played for most number of clubs in the premier league: Michael Pollit (wigan) 14 clubs

Youngest squad in the premier league: Arsenal average age 22.06 years

Most common foreign nationality in the premier league: France, 33 players

Premier league club with the most foreign players: Liverpool 83.78%
(Arsenal) if you believe the tabloid media

Premier league club with the most home based players: Aston Villa.

Shortest player in the premier league: Aaron Lennon 5ft 4in

Tallest player in the premier league: Peter crouch 6ft 6in

Fattest player in the premier league: Danny Shittu 222 lbs
(not Frank Lampard)

Ibime:
You guys can forget about Hangeland. . . . he is happy playing Europa league with Fulham and Roy Hodgson showed a lot of faith in him. . . . it will take £12m to get him and AW will baulk at that. . . . .it is more likely that Sebastian Bassong will join the Arses. . .

It's the Super Eagles of Nigeria on parade here.

It will be a good game!

bawomolo:
is there a mercy rule for friendlies.

do we get to forfeit the game by the time its 3-0 with 60 minutes to go?

MRbrownJAY:
as you can see, Sylvestre is no where to be found!!!!

Just kidding.
Silvestre won't even make France's 3rd team!

MrCrackles:
I dont know why everyone is worrying about transfer rumours!

I just come back at the start of the season and see who is wearing which team's shirt!

Game on

@ Brash
Very true!
See a footie fan's opinion of transfer gossips:

Right, here are the latest transfer rumours going round today.


Adebayor's possible move to Chelsea is off. Arsenal value the striker at £30m, but Chelsea refuse to go above £25m.

Samir Nasri's impressive first season at Arsenal has sparked interest from Real Madrid, who are thought to be preparing a £20m bid for him.

Arsenal have been given permission to speak to Gareth Barry, who is said to be interested in a move to North London.

Johan Djourou could be on his way out from Arsenal due to a lack of first-team appearances this season, with West Ham and Man City possible destinations.

Arsene Wenger has been given the green light to make a move for Spanish striker David Villa.

Should Steve Bruce be named Sunderland manager, he will try to make Arsenal youngster Jay Simpson his first signing.

Cesc Fabregas, recently linked with Barcelona, has re-iterated his desire to stay with Arsenal.




Right. Just to let you know, none of these "rumours" are actually true. If truth be told, I made all of them up.

Why?

To demonstrate how easy it is to make up a "rumour". Journalists do it all the time, and 95% of what they say will happen doesn't.

Example: In the BBC gossip column a few days ago it said Emmanuel Eboue could be leaving Arsenal. Now this is just stupid - If Wenger wanted him to go, he'd have got rid of him last season. Wenger wouldn't be getting rid of him just as he's starting to play consistently well.

So, to conclude: Don't believe anything you read.
Thankyou.







And by the way, have any of you heard the latest rumour about Wayne Rooney's head?

Don't worry, there's nothing in it,

We stand a great chance if Domenech partners Silvestre with Booumsong in the heart of the French Defence

Ibime:
We all know Chelsea history and bla bla bla. . . . .things were real cushty at Chelsea after Matthew Harding joined the club's board, before Ken Bates engineered his death in a Helicopter crash.

OMG!!!
That bearded weirdo is/was a murderer!!!
Chelsea and violence go hand in hand
I still wonder what Ballack would have done to that ref if the lights had gone off suddenly at the Bridge.

mukina2:
Debo and other gunners

please who is Thomas Vermaelen, i keep hearing this name, i heard Debo's Uncle want to buy him

@ Muki
Many names would still come up.
It's time for ridiculous rumours and the agents would 'run' this show till September 1
Names like Shittu, Bramble and Maldini would still be linked to the Arsenal.
Keep watching

Ibime:
Bloody revisionists revising Chelsea history. . . . I'll have it known that Chelsea won 2 FA Cups, one League Cup and the Cup-Winners Cup in the 6 years before Abramovic, and were competitive in every competition!

ha ha ha
Competitive in every Competition.
Compare and Contrast,when the Russian billionaire arrived. . . . . .
2 EPL titles back to back(1st in 50 years),2 league cups,2 FA cups,1 community shield(at least the special one counted it as a Cup )
Enough of Chav talk sef . . , .
after this one I culled from the net.

" I am not too surprised with this lack of­ knowledge from the plastic Chelsea fans, I wonder if­ ANY of them remember when the buckets were passed round­ to collect money to keep the club afloat in the Ken­ Bates era ? Then again I bet most of them don't­ even remember Ken Bates "

Just reading this. . . . .
not good to be away from this thread in a while
@ FBS
Did u say Henry was the captain of France?
Check your records and revert!
@ Blue diva
Did I just read, that U wrote,that Lampard is better or at par with Henry
Oh mine.
What won't I read on this thread?
Mentioning Essien, Drogba et al beside Henry!
Henry has won the European cup,World Cup,EPL,French league,Champions league, Top scorer in England for 4 seasons etc
Now juxtapose with Lampard, Essien and Drogba et al. . . . . . .
BD, You are comparing black and white TVS with an LCD TV

Classless Chavs all over here.
Posting rubbish pictures of the fake as* club all over the Gunners thread
You talk about the 4-1 thrashing at the Emirates?
Are you set to make a DVD of it like the Spuds did when they drew 4-4 with us
U can only call yourself the pride of London when you have the most trophies.
For now, it's the Arsenal.
Or maybe we can say Chelski is the pride of London(for the last 5 years  and been sh*t before then )
That sounds better innit?

Meanwhile, after this weekend's FA cup final
What next till AUgust?
A dullfest!!!

@ FBS
I am going by your Postulations.
Titi left because he wanted to win the UCL, not because of any messy divorce case.
Now that he's won,what is the next step?
Go back to France and retire in his Paris mansion(afterall he has achieved his life ambition)
Come back to Arsenal and be a coach, since he's a Gunner at heart!
You guys make me laugh.
My point is that, y'all are making it look like Henry is still a top dog(in CR7 and Messi's league)
and he left Arsenal to go and win the CL with Barcelona_{like he was sold for 40 million}
That logic sounds all so silly.
People close to him and also close to the club all know why he left.
Anyway, the Arsenal remains come what may.
He's a legend and loves the club inside out

BlueDiva:
All this talk about sudden respect for Henry is trash.

I've loved Henry since his early days at Highbury.The best player ASSenal ever had and[b] would ever have[/b].

The highlighted sounds ridiculous.
Who told you,arsenal would not produce a better player than HEnry?
Meanwhile, you guys always foam around the mouth about our players when they leave.
Not just talking about HEnry
When Flamster,Hleb and co were here, they were rubbish in your eyes
but as soon as they left, they are superstars.

@ Bluediva
I laugh at your postulation.
management ko,executive ni
Many chavs wished that football in general and EPL in particular started in 2004 when RA brought in his millions.
You can't wish away history, it's not possible.
You haven't got one.
You guys just started out.
There was a tme, i think in the 80's you were plying your trade in the lower division.
There was footie before 04 and there will still be more after this season.

FBS:
feel you bro and I'm not saying he never won anything with arsenal. Neither did I say he is not a gunner (at heart) . . .

Point is, he, only won what I presume he wanted most only yesterday. Had Arsenal won it 3 years ago, he'd still be at the Emirati by now. He left 'cos he couldn't just see his future with The Arses anymore. He left because Arsenal is simply going down the ladder and could not give him what he desired most.

Didn't you just read what I wrote.

did u hear about his divorce case? and how messy it was

It was the real reason why he left and not that he couldn't win the CL with Arsenal

The same Henry that captained them to a CL final?

Come on!

If we had won it 3 years ago, he wouldn't still be at the Emirates.

He can't possibly play for Arsenal forever anyway.

Meanwhile, when he was leaving, his form had dipped and I am sorry to say this, he was just like a passenger on the field and was just strolling around.

He only rediscovered his form this season.

Meanwhile, I am surprised by all these accolades for Henry.

You guys are the same fans who hated and despised him when he was at Arsenal and said all sorts about him

Now that he went to Barca, he has suddenly become the greatest player after Pele and Maradona

FBS:
Offtopic: Now we all know why Titi left the Arses. He was convinced that they are unlikely to win anything again for years to come.

We all know why Titi left Arsenal.
he couldn't handle the messy divorce thing and the probing media.
In case, you didn't know,Titi(like many ex Arsenal players) has Arsenal blood running through him.
He follows Arsenal more than many supporters.
Heard he even follows the Youth set up
Never misses their matches.
He has never said anything bad about the Arsenal and chooses every opportunity to declare himself a Gunner for life!
You make it look like he never won anything at Arsenal.(2 Epl.3 Fa cup medals)
he led a young team to the finals of the CL about 3 years ago and had he buried that gilt edge opportunity he had in the finals,
he would have won the medal he craved for three years ago and not yesterday.!

Barca found a home in rome!

I would like to hear Evra's comments at the end of the game

Journalist:Please assess this game
Evra:        We were unlucky
Journalist : Was it men against babies , and who were the men and who were the babies?
Evra    ;  Shut up and gerrout of my sight. You Swine

The famous fantastic four is on the pitch
Yet no goal against a makeshift Barca defence featuring a 35 year old Sylvinho!!!!!

Wait a minute
Scholes is with the captain's armband
Thought it should be Rio wearing it!

Scholes should be banned from football!!!!
He can't tackle
He has tried it for 34 years and it hasn't worked
What's the ref waiting for

Cristalz:
Please get off my back, davidylan. I prefer to discuss with more open-minded and sensible people. No offense intended.

@ Cris
Cool down na
My manure cousin here is sobbing.
Really feel sorry for him

presido1:
This trophy is coming to OT 4 sure.
Itz not over yet guys.

Am afraid it looks like Manure wont be defending this title!!!

Scholesy about to come on!
I smell a red card yet again!
