You never to cease to amaze me, Once its Arsenal, u just get it all wrong, don't you?

Was it not Henry that wanted to leave

Oh dear, Never knew a player on contract can just decide to wake up one morning, pack his bags and head for another club, If it was like that, there would be few players on the bench.Henry was on contract at Arsenal, and the club could have prevented him from going to Barca if they wanted to.

Is this point even worth debating?Abeg,which club do you actually know of that forced a player,determined to leave,to forgo his plans?

@Denex

I still dey respect your analysis,where you talk say China na democracy and im get similar electoral system as Britain .That was a real classic!

The key thing is that Henry's present injury stems from a back problem which has nothing do with the achilles tendon injury which plagued him at Arsenal.If Wenger foresaw the back problem,perhaps he should start a Church because he obviously has supernatural powers

denex:
I-man, please stop peddling these stupid stories. Are you telling me that if Nigeria attacks and devastates Mali, civil wars will cease in Africa? Please brother stop this, it's shameful to be propagating such theories.

If Nigeria were to list certain W.African countries in an axis of evil unless they stop pursuing certain policies and then proceed to remove the Govt one of the listed countries,do you think its far fetched for a neighbouring country in that list to change its policies?

The essence of this thread is a report released which,inter alia,claims that the reason why Iran adopted a new course in 2003 was its appreciation of the adverse consequences it will face.Why are you now picking and choosing which part of the NIE you want to believe? If you don't believe them,why start the thread?

I-man whether he left or was forced out, u must admit that 16m was a good piece of business for a player who just turned 30 and had past his best, the injuries are now beginning to set in from those demanding years of hard premiership football, lucky he's got a winter break now

When Henry was at Arsenal,Gooners claimed he was one of the best.If that is the case,lets compare him to other great strikers around his age-Shevchenko-£30m,Batistuta(31)-£22m .If Wenger was the prescient genius you claim,he could have recouped a similar amount by selling him leave in 2006

Henry wasnt forced out, neither was he needed as well, believe me, if Arsene wanted him to stay, Henry would have stayed (He wouldn't have been happy staying, but he would have stayed nonetheless).

You are missing the key point-Henry wanted to leave.If he wanted to stay,he would still be at Arsenal today despite all your talk about pro-zones.

Players like Parlour,Bergkamp, and the famous Arsenal back 5 stayed well beyond their years primarily because they didn't want to leave.So,the key reason Henry is at Barca today is because he,Henry,wanted to leave,just like Anelka wanted to leave while in his prime.

Unlike say Anelka, Henry's game is built on speed and positioning. At Arsenal, he just stood still and waited for the rest of the players to do the running for him, then pass him the ball to score, at Barca, he doesn't have that luxury, and has to run as well, orelse no one will pass the ball to him (Also has to track back more than he was doing at Arsenal, these latter periods).

It depends on how Barca play him but I think he can easily change the way he plays with the advancement of age.Players like Owen and Ronaldo(Brazil) did succesfuly change their MO to be based on good positioning instead of mere pace.

How would a benighted cretin like RichyBlack educate anybody?

Your much acclaimed report claims that Iran halted its nuclear programme,just like Libya,after the Iraq invasion.The report says that Iran did this because of its calculation of the adverse consequences ensuing from continuation.That being the case,the Bush administration has broadly achieved what it set out.

The problem is,you are one of those paranoid frenzied Bush haters who believe Bush is the anti-Christ hell bent on war come what may.Faced with an NIE report which doesn't fit the meme of an administration hell bent on war,your recourse is to claim that the NIE report was released against Bush's wishes.This takes political analysis within the realms of sorcery because an NIE report couldn't be compiled without the White House's approval.

We have moved from claiming that Bush is the evil genius doctoring and editing intelligence reports to Bush is a powerless man who has no say over US intelligence reports.This is a desperate attempt to mould the facts to fit a storyline.

Make una dey talk nonsense.Was it not Henry that wanted to leave?If Wenger had sold him in 2006,he would have bagged at least £25m for him.The combo of Walcott and Eduardo has been a waste of money so far.

The story in the Sun is a dud.Henry has a back problem which he has been managing since the beginning of the season but Barca chose to rest him now that Etoo is back.He could still play now if he chose but they think its better if he uses this time to rest.It kind of postpones the selection problem for Rijkaard-how do you start Henry,Ronnie,Etoo and Messi?

Islam is a mental illness.A "religion" briefly brought to its knees by a teddy bear.

[quote author=D-reloaded link=topic=97501.msg1747259#msg1747259 date=1196803929]and the ones that do involve full commitment, does other person have a say despite the fact that they havent gone down the altar yet? Btw how do outsiders know which non-married relationship is of full commitment or not? Are their tips/hints somewhere?[/quote]We don't know,they may not be fully committed,that is why the poster's lament is on very shaky grounds.Even if they were married,a partner's entitlement to control how the other spends money is doubtful at best,never mind when they are not even married.

I would be extremely reluctant to complain about how my wife spends her money on her siblings,even more so,if its my girlfriend.

Celtic don qualify for the next round.German clubs never dey certain.

[quote author=D-reloaded link=topic=97501.msg1747162#msg1747162 date=1196800935]so people are only fully commited to the other when they are married?

care to explain adulterers then? why some people treat their wives/husbands worse than those in just "ordinary" relationships?[/quote]Marriage is clearly an expression of commitment.Non-married relationships may or not involve full commitment.That is the problem here,until they get married,there relationship is one of "may or may not be" fully committed.So, she doesn't stand on firm ground to dictate how her partner spends his money.

Make una begin make your excuses as early as possible

I thought the poster was married already.It all comes down to whether you think its right for a partner to determine how the other spends his/her money especially when the relationship hasn't evolved to a fully committed relationship.

Gooners face 2 teams whose managers are under pressure-Newcastle and Boro.It will be interesting to see the outcome.I believe after those 2 game,they have Chelski. Its by the end of the month that Arsenal's title credentials could be full assessed.For now,I'm still unimpressed.

Abgonlahor won't come in cheap,at least £15m and Kenwyne Jones is not Utd quality. If we are looking at cost-effective signing for January,then players like Gudjohnsen,Di Natale might fit the mould.

Long term,we should be looking at Benzema,he is leading scorer in France at the moment and he is a great prospect.He scored at the weekend for Lyon-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq7A6joIZ1o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVbui6NT6io

@dayo

Keep talking nonsense.Which Bundesliga player got into the top 3? You are mocking someone who came 2nd when no one from your team even got a sniff. Na why I prefer even 1860 Munich to Bayern any day.

What do you guys make of our link to Veloso-the S.Lisbon defensive midfielder.Do we need any other person in central midfield? I guess its one for next season. . . .there have been suggestions Carrick might be on his way out of OT.

We need a new left-back to complement Evra.O'Shea won't do for the long term.Johnny Evans is quite good but he hasn't featured much

@jk

At the moment,its either Anderson and Hargreaves or Scholes and Harg.Carrick has already lost out to Anderson and Harg.I think Anderson should start ahead of Giggs when Scholes returns.

My major worry is Saha.He plays like a saboteur.There is no way Berb would be coming in January,we just don't have the money.Fergie indicated recently that there won't be any signing in the transfer window.

Berb,at £25m, is overpriced anyway.His record at a point was 11 goals in 44 league games,worse than R.keane and same as Dirk Kuyt.Of course he offers a lot generally but he is a bit of a prima donna.

@Debo

Reveal wetin? If he himself says he is not Jackal,then he is not,what is there to reveal again?

@Lordimpaq

If you were doing your duty massaging Razzorr's chesticles,she won't have lost her temper the way she did.

@lordimpaq

You think say I get time for you.Go and ask Seun about his uncle on NL

@lordimpaq

Seun na my nephew.Go and ask about the Osewa family in Ogun state.

Banderas:
So ManU lost to Bolton? With their first team?? In the Premiership? OOoh dear.

No be your 1st team wey come 4th last season? Remind me again who the Champions are!

Banderas:
Bolton 1 Manu 0.

No wonder I-man is so angry.

Seville 3 Arse 1

No wonder some Gayners got in petitioning mode!

lordimpaq:
see, what i mean, when u say u guys, u make it sound like its all of us, be specific, name names if you're man,

My sources,very reliable,tell me its a few Gooners.I am not supposed to tell the identities of the Gooners who my nephew,Seun, relied on to get Jackal banned.

debosky:
@ Cougar

take a chill pill aight? you've not been here long enough to make any conclusive generalizations concerning gooners. . .you're really beginning to sound like a parrot just echoing everything I-man (aka Manservant ) says. Get some original insights of your own will ya?
Gunner 1915

Are you sure?_{I think it is Him whom this thread speaketh of !}

Go on rampage I-man, its Loyiks that you easily rile up (don't know what the love is between you guys Wink) the rest of us (I mean the oldies) pretty much understand your antics now.

No be even Loyiks,na Mr PMS wey dey get sleepless nights pass over my posts

Banderas:
I-man, that is simply not true. You're far from this model of restraint which you have "humbly" assigned to yourslf, that would be Akola or Somze, or maybe Debo and Viera. Not you.

And the rule of the forum clearly says no abuse. It's one thing for people to come on the forum and say my team can't play football. We can discuss that and have fun, but a total regard for other people's feelings is just nasty. You get online and the first thing you get is abuse, abuse for your parents and stuff. That is not entertaining at all.

There have been days when I left the forum knowing full well that if I knew these people personally, I would have given them a thorough beating, a basic lesson in respect for their fellow men.

He even debating my claims! If Osama Bin Laden tells you he is a model of tolerance,do you try to reason with him,showing him he is not?

And the rule of the forum clearly says no abuse.

You are an idiot!When you have prepared the kind of juju that I have prepared for Seun,you can abuse with reckless abandon and be confident of not getting banned! Wait till you lose a league game. . . .oversensitive Gooners will suffer on this forum

chuckdee4:
@ I-man

Sorry o, mu y bad i no dey see road, but this your generalisation dey make blood rise

You need to take a chill pill before u burst a vein, anyway scream all u can come wednesday it'll be 6 points

If its not 6 points 2mrw,na so I go on rampage! Have you seen your fixture list for the rest of the year?No game is easy.That is why I am telling Gooners to calm down.If they start reporting people over one loss at Sevilla,what will they do when they lose 1st place during January?

lordimpaq:
what has happened has happened
don't let your head swell too much,

Na Gooners head wey don swell so far.

lordimpaq:
wats up with u man

well maybe you're just having fun, dissing us gunners, bt truth be told, we're top, whether u like it or not,

Whether,you like it or not,you are not winning the league and you guys can go tell Seun Mancs have been stressing you. Always crying like babies when you lose

mrpataki:
This thread will soon be locked!


@ I-man,
Your generalization was wrong! Accept it and we all move on.

As I no accept nko?Wetin go happen?

Make Seun lock the thread and ban everybody.He can't ban me,I have powerful Juju behind me.I am untouchable!

@cougar
Thin-skinned gayners,what do you expect? Maybe,when they fail to win the League,they will report Seun to the EFCC.

Jackal's ban has elicited references to Nazis and Jesus Christ It shows how serious this issue is

chuckdee4:
Oh please shut your trap, when did u use the word SOME, all u did was come here n start generalising every gunner in sight, if your going to point accusing fingers be specific.
I wonder how u can be a respected member with the kind of vile nonsense that comes out your mouth

You are a blind linguistically challenged fool.Look at the very post of mine you quoted:

I am telling you for a fact that some Gooners petitioned Seun to get Jackal.

Are you blind or just stupid?

Banderas:
I-man, the guy was rude and annoying. I don't know why he got banned, but he had it coming. I-man, if you use your church mind, you will know that definitely people must have been reporting your man from time immemorial. The only reason why you're okay with him is because he also supports your team. Like the germans who stood back and watched when Hitler seized power in Nazi Germany, you're equally guilty of your man's many offences.

Have you heard the rule that those who invoke Nazis in a debate,have lost the debate?

I am a model of restraint and politeness on the sports thread. . . .you can bear me witness.I too got reported,but my cup had not overflown with Seun.Why should anybody be reporting anyone just because of cyber insults.I get pilloried everyday by Gooners but I don't go and report them. . . . .why can't gayners exercise restraint?
