Koscielny was sent off last week,'miles' away from where that incident happened
Talk of consistency in refereeing

@Nateevs
Should Ivanovic still be on the pitch?

FBS:
Cech! OMG!

The best in this business of goalkeeping
When I saw Welbeck headin' the ball, i shouted gooooooooooooaaaaaall

nateevs:
Today Terry and Alex are out. .

Why does JT always go AWOL whenever England matches are around the corner?
If he doesn't want to play for Capello anymore, he should just come out and say it

3 points in the bag
Their goal was a fraud
as Saha climbed all over Sagna
However,Fabianski is turning out to be top class.
Check out the saves from Saha and Beckford?
On to the chavs game.
How about that Ghana  man scoring a brace at Stamford Bridge?
I will join him in that his Galala dance

MC29 should be deducted a week'a wages for that miss
Unforgivable!

Fabregas oooh oooh oooh
Capt Fab. . . .
Back for good

God bless Bacary!
Fab4 has been playing as a DM
Not gonna be an easy second half
We have been quite organised today and tactically disciplined.
Hoping for a better second half
and we must get that 'insurance' goal early!

Bendtner is not even on the bench for the game at Merceyside.
Groin injury or . . . . . . .

MC29!!!!
Arsenal's top scorer in the league with 5 goals
Arsenal's top scorer in all competitions with 8 goals
All in a debut season where the manager normally does not throw his new signings(esp strikers) into the 'deep end'.
All this and we are just in November
Enough said. . . . abeg.
Bendtner is 22. . . .he should shut up and fight for his place.
If he's tired of sitting down on the bench,Juventus or whoever, should 'show us the money' and we 'll do business

@DK

[b]Germany and Bayern star Mario Gomez urges gay footballers to go pub[/b]lic


Striker breaks ranks with German football federation, who had warned that coming out could destroy a player's career
A leading German footballer has urged gay players to come out and called for a radical rethink about homosexuality in the sport.
The Bayern Munich striker Mario Gomez has broken ranks with the football establishment, including members of his own team and the German football federation, who have warned that coming out could destroy a player's career.
But Gomez, who has not said whether he is gay, told a German magazine that being honest about their sexuality would improve gay players' performance.
"They would play as if they had been liberated," Gomez said. "Being gay should no longer be a taboo topic."
The 25-year-old, who was voted German footballer of the year in 2006-7, added that there were plenty of role models in the rest of German society to give gay players the courage to come out. "We've got a gay vice-chancellor [Guido Westerwelle]; the Berlin mayor [Klaus Wowereit] is gay. So professional footballers should own up to their preference," he said.
There are no openly gay players in Germany's Bundesliga, reflecting the situation across the football world, although it is estimated that about 10% of players are gay.
The only German footballer to have come out is Marcus Urban, who told his teammates in 1997 and promptly ended his professional career. The 39-year-old waited until 2007 before going public with his story, saying he had hoped to encourage other gay players and trainers to come out and thus contribute to more acceptance and tolerance in football.
Gomez is the first leading player to urge his homosexual colleagues to go public. Others have been vehemently against such a move, saying it would harm a footballer's career.
In an interview this year, Tim Wiese, who plays in goal for the national team and Werder Bremen, advised gay players against coming out, saying they would be "destroyed" by "merciless fans".
"Despite the fact that it now has lots of female fans, football is still a macho sport," he said.
Philipp Lahm, a defender for Bayern Munich who captained the German team at the World Cup in South Africa, told Playboy magazine in an interview that players would be unable to cope with the pressure of outing themselves. "A player who chooses to out himself has to carry out his job in front of tens of thousands of spectators."
The German football federation (DFB) said that while it was campaigning against homophobia in football and would support any player who chose to come out, it could not ignore the problems that would accompany such a decision.
"The first homosexual who outs himself in professional football will not have an easy time of it," said DFB president Theo Zwanziger. "I had thought it would not be the case, because in politics, art and culture it is no longer a problem. Even amateur football deals with it better, but professional football appears to be more set in its ways."
Gomez's comments were made in a week in which German football has been reflecting on the death a year ago of national goalkeeper Robert Enke, who suffered from chronic depression and killed himself.
Enke's death has contributed to a new spirit of openness in the sport, including encouraging players to have the courage to share their personal problems.
The only British footballer to have outed himself while active in the sport was Justin Fashanu in 1990. The Sun newspaper paid him a six-figure sum to run the headline: "I am gay." Fashanu killed himself in 1998 after a 17-year-old boy accused him of sexual assault, a charge he denied.

tkb417:
Manchester United is the only team out of the top 4 that has played in Nigeria- Yes or No

at least, the man identified with the supporters down here and brought the stars to our very own stadium

@tkb417
Omo gidi
That was the killer punch I expected Mancs to bring out.
We all saw Man u 'live and direct' in Abuja.
They all risked coming to Africa.
They had to take painful anti-malaria injections before coming over.
What more love for Africans could have been shown?
None of the other remaining 'so called big clubs' have ever thought of that.

Hilarious Thread!

dayokanu:
I am sorry for overestimating your intelligence. Anyone with a droplet of grey matter would know we are talking about league goals here.

Hehehehe
Your defence in respect of your goof is as weak as dried up semen
If you are talking about league goals, let us all know.
Stupid ass assumptions are not done on this thread

Watched the highlights and I must say, those were top draw saves.
I also saw Rozzi clear a goal bound effort from Wolves.
Let's not forget MC29, who with the two goals yesterday has taken his tally to 5
and becomes Arsenal's top scorer in the league.
I hope this is the turning point in our league campaign!

yousouph:
Wonders when RVP will break the 12 league goals jinx

dayokanu:
How can a paralympic player like Van Persie score more than 12 goals any season?

You always have to show your 'density' here
You should have added league goals.
Read what Yousouph wrote
Only two seasons ago, RVP scored 20 goals

What was that at Scumland?
Absolute rubbish
What a borefest!

dayokanu:
GAYYners and their inexhaustible archive of inane statement.

Does distance count when a striker is through on goal? If you are rthe last defender, does it matter if you are 1mile from goal?
The retard called Kolscieny pulled him from behind and got what he deserved. Maybe the red card at the last minute was responsible for your loss.

Common sense deserts you whenever u are writing on this thread
So. . . . .  according to your daft logic, assuming a defender tackles an attacker on the edge of the 18 yard box,72+ yards away from his own goal,(and he was the last man) he should be sent off
There was a reason why the English ref was quite lenient during the world cup final.
If he had applied FIFA's laws to the letter,we would have had 7 Dutch players against 9 spanish players with about 30 minutes left to play.
Referees are supposed to apply common sense.
The ones that do are highly appreciated.

dayokanu:
Appealing Kolscieny's card was a daft decision and it can only be thought of by a senseless club like Arsenal.

Were you all blind to the blatant foul? when the striker was through on goal

Hehehehe  
He was through on goal
45 yards away  
He must be Pele and Maradona combined into one.
For me, it was a yellow card offence and not a straight red, but the referee thought otherwise.
Let's just say it was 50-50.
Some will give a straight red and some will give a yellow card.

Football shocks me at times.
Nigel De Jong snaps Ben Arfa's leg into two without getting a yellow card.He wasn't even punished for the offence later on.
and Laurent Kocielny gets a straight red card for pushing Nile Ranger 45 yards away from goal

dayokanu:
Based on the antecedents of a team like Arsenal its already another trophyless season (Save for Carling cup)

So, you are scared to commit yourself on Arsenal having another trophyless season by putting that caveat.
what's with your constant moronic hyperventilation on this thread?

jalether:
The bloke just dey piss me off mehn

Can we swap him for Nasri

Naaah, No thanks

Meanwhile, who will explain to this Oyinbo people what Malaria is all about?
'Didier Drogba has Malaria'.
The story looks as if DD has full blown AIDS and may die in a matter of weeks!!! :

jalether:
if work rate/pace is all there is to win a starting shirt at Chelsea, we might as well recruit Usain bolt

and Forrest gump in the Jan transfer window.

@Jalether

Na Ramires you 'kill' like dis!

jalether:
David Moyes- while this might come across as a controversial choice to some trophy inclined individuals, I feel this man has done an outstanding

Hehehehehe
Are you excluding yourself from that exclusive club where you are a member of the exco

On a lighter note.
Earlier in the day, the Nike store on Oxford street was reopened.
Along with legend,Carl Lewis, we had Theo,Drogba,Cesc and Cashley posing for a photograph
