If we are playing 4-3-3 and our midfield is this awful and porous,i wonder how it will be with 4-4-2(that's for those advocating for 4-4-2)

If old Veron seems to have it in him more than most of our "young" players.

Are some people really expecting a positive result from this match ?

The million dollar question is how do we survive these Koreans pace with our "immobile" players   Especially now that we do not even have an Okocha who can hold the ball and dictate the pace of the game.

Make we survive the Argentines first sha. . .  

I am loving this particular game due to the  usage of width and pace by the Koreans

We wouldn't go past the group stage

Locked iphone dilemma.

All the engineers in the house,i need your help please.Got an apple iphone 3g(s) 16gb from the UK and on getting to Lagos and inserting my SIM,it indicated incompatible sim.Took it to computer village to unlock and i was told the phone is of higher version and it can not be unlocked

Any solution to this?

Some mothers do have them 

The Stevie Wonder line would have made sense if was crafted "follow me blindly like Stevie Wonder on my twitter page" abi?

Kit,

Oh cos none of the present lads is steeled we should just inundate our team with more flash in the pan kinda player like Joe Cole?

Is it the same winning mentality Gallas and Silvestre were supposed to bring to the team

Or the same Viera was supposed to induce those ninnies in Shitty with?

Joe Cole for ball boy @ the Emirate,any taker?


As per Cesc,
If he doesn't leave before the WC,Wenger will be silly to let go after the WC.

Dr Kitaun:
Kay

do u have an objection to JoeCole coming over ?

Of course i do. . .

Don't you feel we have enough injury prone players that feel like new signing after spending the best part of the season with Lewin and co?

Plus if all Wenger wants is an English player with a glimpse of skill,he should re-call Wilshere.

Dr Kitaun:
Can we just be told Joey's jersey number already ?

Are you being sarcastic?

To think i have never met anyone. . .

Will like to meet the guys in the sport section.

View of Nairobi City from my Hotel room,hotel Ambasaddeur,located on Moi Avenue beside Kenya Archive.

Will surely be back soonest to visit the Masai Mara which has more wild life than the Nakuru.

Kenyans surely love our Nigerian artistes who are ore popular than OBJ,Yaradua and Goodluck combined and their ladies sure do pack some extra extra posteriorly 

BTW,the Kenya shilling,which is the local currency,fluctuates between 74-76 KSH to $1

More pics of moi,my guide Mr Ben,the baboon cliff where you are warned not to feed the monkeys and Labelle Inn in Naivasha.

1)Flamingos

2)Funniest pic i took.We were actually welcomed by this particular sight  of monkeys having "fun"(lol)

3) In spite of warning,i was quite close to this particular buffalo

Here they are,not professional shots, just OK:

Will be back with the pictures i took in Nairobi and Lake Nakuru.

Kenya?Beautiful people,hospitable and great scenery.

Also,one thing question that has been bugging my mind since his death is,was he alone in the car?

Watching Life and times of Da Grin on Nigezie now. . . .

Jeeeezzzzzzzzz,i'm just still hoping this is a bad dream

8 fu-cking minutes added at Emirates?

WenGAY time!!!!!!!!!!

Are you sure you watched the whole match?Given's injury made the added time so.

Where did Wenger find the Arabian donkey?[/quote]What did he do?
He's been on Viera's case like the guy owes him sumn.

The statistics tell the whole story. . . 2 shots at goal throughout the entire 90mins
I can't remember Fabianski making any save too

WTF is Rafael doing?

Dudu and Kit,you guys are great.I hope Wenger will give us the cause to have less agrression to spare in the coming season.

It is obvious what the fundamental problem with our team is.Improve the squad with 4 quality signings(1 gk,1 cb(2 if Billie leaves),1 midfilder and 1 attacker) and we are nearly there. . . . .

While this season's meltdown can be attributed partly to injuries,i still look back at some games and feel we have no excuse dropping points.The games at Upton Park,St Andrews and JJB Stadium readily comes to mind.It is no coincidence that GKeeping errors have a MASSIVE role to play in all these games too.Isn't it surprising a club as great as Arsenal doesn't have a GK that can be termed top 10 in EPL? Funny thing is none of our GKs can be flooged off to any club sef,no one will take them

Another thing is Wenger doesn't have a contigency plan.We pass,pass and pass till monotony and every of our  opponents knows how predictable we have become.I made a statement sometimes ago and i dare anyone to challenge me.Wenger is not a tactical coach but a coach that is good in spotting good players who he manages to the point that they become loyal to him and are ready to die for him.But if now he "refuses" to even get in the good players what gives?

Here is where we need instant improvement.

* We need grit/power when beautiful football doesn't work.
* Our set-pieces need to be taken serious as it seems there no training ground stuff in any of it.
* The lads(and i mean all of them) need to be taught the art of defending and pressing against the opponent.An element of this was shown in the early part of this season against Everton and Celtic but it faded as the season pans out.
*He needs the hair dryer treatment more often,It worked against Liverpool at Anfield and believe me it is a good development.Wenger seems to pamper his wards far too much and it's obvious in their disposition on the field.
*I have learnt from anatomical and physio stuffs from Arsenal injury woes than i have learnt in my entire sojourn to cop Human Anatomy B.sc in the Uni.Something has to be done about these injuries plus our next set of signings should be double-checked for injury worries.
*This squad needs to win something,anything for a winning aura to be commenced and eventually sustained.

I am not part of the Wenger must crowd but i feel he needs to get himself sorted too.He needs the hunger of SAF.

duduspace:
Seriously Kay, tear holes into it and lets have an healthy debate. I promise to stick to the points being discussed and not muddle up issues like Sauron.  If you show me how and why I'm wrong, I will hold up my hands and accept it and if not, we can always reach a compromise.
By the way, who will be at the emirates cup in August? Folly and Debo, I'll look forward to meeting up there.

I am a lazy typist and some of the points were made like 5-6 pages ago.I am too old for digging up post jare    Not to worries,maybe we can meet during the Emirate cup(i pray i have a less tight schedule during this period) and then we can chat better.Love your optimism though,only that i do not share more than half of it. .And here is the reason why ;

I feel most of your assertions are based on hoping the other clubs drop their level of progression and improvement.Nothing here suggest for example that Abramnovich wouldn't do a major clear-out of his Chelsea,get the top of the bunch and compete at this level again.Same goes to Man U,Man City and to an extent Tottehnam.So why do you feel these present squad and its gaffer who's been known to capitulate when it matters and do agidi over transfers respectively wouldn't be found out next season?

Can't believe i will ever get moved by a non-relative's death.

I hope i will wake up tommorow and discover this is all a DREAM.

Why should Da Grin die now?

Damnnnnnnnnnnn!

Dudu and Kit,

You guys are bigger than this.

Dudu some of your assertions are far fetched.While i am not ready to start tearing some of your outlandish assertions apart,i think your conclusion that Szcheny shoould be brought back to the club to man the post for next season is asking for too much.Who will take us serious with an unproven and inexperienced 19 year old talent(no matter how prodigous) taking over from Vanilla Ice and Fabiaski.

Here's what some Brentford supporters have to say about the young Pole:

Les Beeavinu wrote:
He's a fantastic prospect who makes great saves but also makes mistakes. If he made them in the Premiership goldfish bowl, he would be classed, enormously unfairly, as another dodgy Arsenal keeper. I personally don't think he's ready for your first team, other than fleetingly. He needs more time to develop and I'd love it to be with us. He will be a top, top keeper though.

loyalbee wrote:
He's far more decisive and confident than your current crop but in the prem that could be his downfall if thrown in too early. He makes decisions and sticks to them - you won't find him kneeling down and getting lobbed like almunia. Personally i'd say his temper and distribution are his main flaws.

Les Beeavinu wrote:
No way can he be classed as a replacement for Almunia yet. He might make 3rd choice.

Simon C wrote:
He's a red card waiting to happen in the Prem IMO, his reactions against Colchester and Huddersfield were brilliant to see but won't go down well under the top 4 microscope. It would be a big mistake throwing him in now and you risk ruining someone who should be a top keeper in 3 or 4 years time.

Les Beeavinu wrote:
It really is quite simple - putting aside Arsenal for a moment, does anyone believe that any team can win the Premiership / Champions League (which is the level of Arsenal's ambition) with a 20 year old keeper? The answer has to be no.

We could win the Div 1 championship with one though.

Claire wrote:
He seems like he has his head screwed on. When he went through a spell of making a couple of mistakes he admitted that he needed to learn from his mistakes, and improve his game.
He also seems to have quite good positioning around the goal mouth. You have to be in the right position to make those saves.

As others have mentioned above. He is not ready for the premiership just yet, as he does need more experience. But definatly a top keeper in years to come.

holysmit wrote:
Brillant shot stopper, seems good on crosses some times and mis judges them others, his tempermant is the issue as he seems to get too wound up and keen at times, that will come with experience though and for that reason he needs at least another season playing football before he can be Arsenal number 1. IMO.

Enough said!

Gallivant,i await your email please

WTF Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Is this for real or like the continuation of the rubbish been spread yesterday?

So that he can back-pass to the goalie abi?

Berbatov is not as bad as you peeps make him,it's just that he will never be efficient in a 4-5-1.Play a Keane-like partner close to him as watch him flourish.I doubt he will ever make it United though,something tells Harry"twitchy"Redknapp will make a summer bid for him if Pav decides to quit WHL.

Sky Italia predicts Internazionale line up against Barca.


-Cesar-
-Maicon-Lucio-Samuel-Zanetti-
-Mota-Cambiaso-Muntati-Stankovic-
-Sneider-
-Milito-


That is what I call packing the bus

Are you expecting anything different. . .

What Mourhno will deploy is a very defensive and compact team that will play "containment" football hoping he can grab a goal against via fast break and set-pieces.I am surprised he is using Milito instead of Eto'o but i guess he will introduce him during 2nd half.

The disadvantage of this formation is that what happened to Chelsea last season could be their lot.
