Eboueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

What a pass from endtner. . . .

Yet another goal from another midfielder.The goal drought continues for the attackers.At least from open play

Cristalz:
So it's the ref's sworn duty to avenge all of Eduardo's woes, right? How do you Arses reason?

Your humour-drought this season is numbing. . .  

ogahimself:
Thats my problem . i was sympathetic towards eduardo as a player but to justify his dive    

I just edited the fact i felt you should be sent to the guillotine for your earlier statement.

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=314428.msg4428335#msg4428335 date=1251315762]Nah. . . . . .It's for Arsenal's Olympic divers to stop conning the referee.
I am 100% certain Vidic will be punching Eduardo's face if he tries that @ OT.
Rodallega is still with the paramedics. [/quote]The are of conning was invented and perfected at oldtrashford.I dont need to remind you of the proponents.
Vidic?the same one slapped by Drogba or another one?

What referee wouldn't give a penalty against an opponent going by what what Eduardo has been through?

The grin on his(Eduardo) face when the penalty was given is cynical man.A television moment.Damn!

Sloppy play for most but you can't still fault these lads resolve this season.You just wouldn't know who is playing where excluding Almunia.

With Diaby,Eboue and Denilson popping up at every part of the field,you can but hail their work rate.

And who gives a rat arse if it was a "funny" penalty,it;s for the referee to SEE it and adjudge it.

What happened to Arshavin.Wenger don start again ooo

davidif:
He is not a beast, he is simply gorgeous. My akata friend that i asked said "he sexy". Also, see how the women were falling for him in the movie "beauty shop", they don't do that to Seal do they?

Even Jack Black will elicit the same emotions if asked to play the same role,no be acting? Djimon is cool though.

spikedcylinder:
Abi na Kimora be beast sef.

Once again,YOU have judged correctly.

Tosin,

The key word is not burnley but reserve game

Tkb so are related to the Adebajos . . . . ?you are a confirmed thug son.

Back to the topic.This is DISGRACEFUL.

HNIC:
Check the table again and see who is leading
No basis for your post at all

You seem to have a lot of time to spare. . . . . i doubt it's reasonable to exchange banter with someone whose team can't cope in a league equivalent to J-league.

Heard rozzi trained and Theo will be in the squad also!

Rozzi?Thought the initial report was 2 months?Any news on Nasri?

MrCrackles:
^ I hope we have him available for the weekend
I wouldav rested him for tomorrow's game even if he was fit!

Absolutely.Any of Diaby,Denilson or Ramsey can take his place for tommorow's game.

Fabregas to miss Wednesday night’s clash

Cesc Fabregas will not face Celtic on Wednesday night.

The Arsenal captain picked up a hamstring strain against Portsmouth on Saturday and was withdrawn at half-time. Fabregas underwent a scan on the injured muscle on Tuesday morning.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Arsène Wenger described the scan results as "reassuring" but confirmed he will miss Wednesday night's clash.

"From last Saturday we lost Cesc Fabregas who did not train today" the manager said.

"His scan was quite reassuring as he has no muscular strain but it will take a few days to settle down.

"There's a chance he'll be fit for Old Trafford."

So there you have it,he could be ack for Saturday's game,which is good news as there is no muscular strain.

Abeg what provider(Hitv or DSTV) is showing this match in naija?

tkb417:
Viera vs Keane?
are you a 15 year old boi?
so you didnt see Keano play?
Viera admitted to a superior keano so what on earth are you blabbing about?

. . . now this is serious.Viera conceeds superiority to an ordinary brawler?
I'd like to know if you are reading too much meaning to Viera's respectful references to a fellow player in his ook or there is another "concession session" i am yet to hear of.

I have seen Citeh's 2 games this season and something tells me this initial graz wouldn't last long.I don't see Hughes having his job by the end of the season.

If Ronaldo was bought for £12 million then Theo should be valued @ £120,000.

I kinda agree . . . i am not a Walcott fan really.Infact i rate Lescott higher.

chic2pimp:
Kai dis transfer amount is disgraceful . Nesta cost 19m,ferdinand 29.1m,thuram 22m,carvalho 19.5m. These players were in the elite league of defenders b4 a club paid that sought of amount for them. Lescott would not make it in the top 50 best central defenders in the world right now. Sad times

He wouldn't make top 200 you mean. . . .
I can build a whole team with his purchase fee that will compete for top 4 in EPL.
Moyes should be grinning from ear to ear.

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=278439.msg4407952#msg4407952 date=1251066280]He is an English player. . . . .
Theo Walcott was £12 milla. . . . .an untested teenage Arrow from Southampton. . . .
If you consider the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo was acquired with the same amount, then you shouldn't lose sleep over Lescott.

SWP to Chelsea(£21 million), Glen Johnson(£18 million). . . .Should i go on?[/quote]Oh yeah, i forgot to add that he is English. . . . bunch of over-rated tossers.
You will agree with me that SWP purchase then was due to Chelsea infamous profligacy and Glen's,Benitez's tactless foray in the transfer market.


As per Theo,he's worth every penny cos of his pace. . . .

The second transfer(Lescott) after the Ibra-Etoo transfer that seem preposterous to me.
Lescott and £24million shouldnt be mentioned in the same breathe but then. . . .
Plus i am sure Hangeland and Upson will do better and they cost less. . . Oh well

edoyad:
As for me though, of all the matches we've played this season, this is the one that showed how maturity has grown in that squad.
Denilson was so busy sticking to instructions that people i was watching with thought he was a 2nd half sub. He stuck clean to the position he was placed today and rearly wandered.
Diaby seems to now realise football is not all about dribbling though he looked tempted at times to try.
As for RVP not scoring, I've seen him score braces with less effort than he put in today. David James was destined not to concede from him this evening. I doubt if Almunia would have been able to concede less than 2 from Rvp if he was the Pompey stopper.
Some gunners are so used to complaining that they dont even know when to stop and be happy. Well, It's what you get for starving the fans, It's the fault of the management for leaving us thirsty for so long .

Touche!

rasputinn:
Here's Arsene's answer for ya

http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/happy-with-squad

I just hope he adds at least a rugged centre back

Answer to my question?
How many times has Wenger said one thing and did another?
Me i no dey send Wenger's responses to journos on transfer issues,most of it are diversionary.

sirwebs:
Nobody is getting carried away. Maybe the 16 yr old Gunners on the street. Not the battle hardened guys on nairaland. We all know its a marathon. But not even Bolt can afford to come from behind.

That there is Usain's forte.
Who says it is wrong to have a strong start?Of course i am delighted at this good start,i just pray Wenger WILL make the needed additions.
A CM and a CD wouldn't hurt really.

Dr Kitaun:
great start indeed !

Couldn't be better,not with the crucifixion going on in the press of the team.

what we are talking about here is ; SUSTAINED MOMENTUM !!!

You and I know we wouldn't be talking of sustanance but for the great start.
That said,taking into consideration those that are still out and the gaffers gist on buying a defender,you can but feel this team can make it happens.
That remains to be seen though so lets keep our fingers crossed.

Bendtner was not shyte ? with all those rubbish moves of his ? he wanted to dribble all thru the time he had the ball, and yet he didnt succeed, what are u talking abt?
I MAKE BOLD TO SAY, BENDTNER WILL SCORE A FEW GOALS THIS SEASON BUT BEST BELIEVE IT, GUNNERS WORLDWIDE WILL CALL FOR HIS HEAD BEFORE JANUARY, U CAN BOOK MARK THIS, IF IT DOESNT HAPPEN I WILL APOLOGISE HERE PUBLICLY !!

How many times have i seen Ade ran into a blind alley and cop unneccesary off-sides?
With him in the side most of those pristine moves would have been dead at the level of conception due to his tactless run  
And what i was saying is that for most of those runs bendtner made in today's game,there was no one to make pass to,he was the only attacking player still having a GO at Pompey.A single opposing player against a defending team,was he expected to dribble everyody?

As per calling for his head,

RVP WASNT UP TO SCRATCH . .ABEG stop making excuses for mediocrity . . .when ADE wasnt up to it I openly criticised him, it never takes anything awy from their potential

Making excuse for RVP?the replay is there for everyone to see his attempts at goal that were thwarted by exceptional goalkeeping.
Plus it is only the 3rd game of the season man.

oh . . .so u r pleased Gallas is highest goalscorer for Arsenal ? wanna wager a bet that Adebayor wouldnt end up being one of the 3 highest goalscorers this season ?  

The Gallas gist was a dig @ your Ade. Cum isn't he an Arsenal player,why shouldn't i be happy he's been scoring without his knowledge?
Ade was amongst the top 3 with us and he can be the highest goal scorer by May but what gives if Man City doesn't win NATHER?
I careless what personal achievement the Togolese cops as far as my team does well.

sirwebs:
All this pessimism from Dr. Kit. If we cannot enjoy such an excellent start (when we were all scared before it started), we will never enjoy anything else.
Kit can you please get some Joel Osteeen cds & podcasts. You need a pint of enthusiasm into your life.

Frankly,we need his frankness to knock some carried-away gooners back to reality.
It is just the 2nd game of the season,36 more games to go.

1.Goerge Opong Weah
2.Roger Milla
3.Samuel Etoo' Fils
4.Kanu Nwakwo
5.Abedi Pele
6.Raba Mahjer
7.Lakda Belloumi
8.Titi Kamara
9.Finidi George
10.Anthony Yeoah
11.Hossam Hassan

And i will give it to Yeo Matial(hope i got the spelling right) at the coaching level. .
Wasn't he the first indigenous coach to win the ACN with Cote'd Voire?

@Kit longest time,how family?

RVP was rubbish !  and this for the last 2 games, tho he has had 3 assists, but for crying out loud, does he want to become a 10 ?

RVP was rubbish? Maybe you should feel for him as he has not done a striker's job so far but you can't fault RVP's commitment on the field of play.
Moreso, but for some great saves from DJ,his name should have been on the scorer's sheet today.It is just the 3rd game of the season kit!
My own problem with RVP has more to do with the fact he doesn't seem to work and play on the same length with Arshavin like Eduardo and bendtner does but i feel as the season pans out they WILL click.

are we going to continue relying on the midfielders and defenders to continue scoring for us ? ONLY 1 STRIKER HAS SCORED OUT F OUR STRIKERS !!!

May not be the sole reason,but this new formation that allows for much more central movement from our midfielders contributes a lot to their new found scoring ability.It is good too,back in the days,they are known for firing blank.

BENDTNER WAS SHYTE as usual . . .who says we dont miss ADE ?

Bendtner cant pass, cant dribble, cant shoot well, and has no vision . . .AND THIS GUY IS SUPPOSED TO BE ARSENAL MATERIAL ?     is Wenger f*ckin his momma ?   

for every goal ADEBAYOR scores, its a loss for 4 Arsenal . . .Ade will keep scoring whether he plays for Hull City OR Sunderland

Bendter was not shyte. . . . it is not his fault that he seem to be the ONLY player still interested in having a goal when other had taken their feet of the gas-pedal today.Watch the match again and see there was no movement around him anytime he made a run,save for RVP who was miles offside.Bendter can't pass and can't dribble?,maybe you didn't watch him against Everton.He was a thorn throughout.

As per that yarn of every Ade's goal,should i take it every of Bent's goal is Spud's loss too.
Abeg soildier goes and comes and barrack remain jare.Plus Ade is just by the sheikh's pounds for now,watch dude get complacent when his name is not cheered no more.
Plus isn't he on the same goal tally with Gallas?

This is how we always start well . . .na today ?

We didn't start like this last season.The team was rubbish from the get-go. . . .
Of course no one should be carried away but surely,this is a GREAT start.

With Park, Anderson and Fletcher taking turns to rape Cesc and Denilson at the Emirates.

If they do it against these lads this new season,i'll be the first to accept your hitherto baseless "owing" theory.

Unleash the triumvirate of Anderson, Fletcher and Carrick on them.
They have not failed yet to cop victories whenever they start against Arsenal.

Were they ALL absent during that loss at the Emirate?

Beware of BERBATOV. . . . .

What a slow-coach that^.Beware, Assassin is in town

500 GB pounds.

Let's see before the week runs out but i am sure it will be minus 500 GB pounds for you after the match on sat.

Yeah i know this should be in the appropriate section:joke bayern thread but . . . . .

                                                                                      Mainz Mangle Bayern
Louis van Gaal has suffered his first Bayern Munich defeat after they were stunned at newly promoted Mainz. The hosts raced to a sensational two-goal first half lead, forcing the bewildered Dutch coach to make a double substitution for the woeful Bavarians even before the interval. 

Now the enboldened part got me in stitches.

How a supporter of a bewildered coach handling a deluded team can still have time to rave beats me hollow

Muki,

Work just took the better of my time and i have been everywhere but still rooting for the lads.

Arsenal will be pulverised next weekend. . . . . . . . .United will win at least 17 home games of the 19 available.
If the line up shows. . . . .Anderson, Carrick and Fletcher in the midfield(start praying!!!). [/quote]Stale line.You think this is Feb 08?
What can go wrong with the newly improved Song,a rejuvenated Cesc and a certain Mr.Denilson who now has his mojo?
I see Oldtrashford loyals in tears next week.Infact a see a Arshavin-show a la Anfield next Saturday.

What can you bet with?I have been trying to get tkb to get my 1979 benz off me via a bet with our autos and he aint bulging

Commendable start to a "make or mar" season.Though it is still too early into the season to pass a hollistic judgement,it shouldn't be lost on us that if the team can be near impeccable with lads like Nasri,Walcott,Rosicky and Vela still not taking any part so far,the team CAN make it happen this season.

Two players have impressed me exceedingly so far with their vast improvement/contributions. . .

Denilson:Stronger,keeps it simple with his one-touch passes,covers a lot of ground and cleans up the DIRT.This last feature of his may go un-noticed by so many fans but it is one character a team like Arsenal that presses farther up the field needs so much.

Vermaleen:Not since Martin Keown have i seen no-nonsense defender in the red and white army.And can white men jump?

As stated earlier,it is too early into the season to conclusively pass a judgement on the team,but i ask,wasn't the team rubbished from the early part of last season  

TW,10 league goals and just one of our attacker(Eduardo) has his name registered? I hope they are keeping their goals till when we need them the MOST.

And big ups to you Alex Song  

Gooners para simpre

Muki and allboys,how una dey?

tkb417:
so 120k is all you'll pay
thts great!

never heared of that b4 but i know there are some funny stations out there

Now you know,so what's next?

as per the enforcement of the ban, i have said it here that, this will provide an avenue for the Policemen to start extorting VCs
I heared when you pay the 20k, u'll be given a signage tht will show somthing like "authorized VC"
so the signage should ordinarily be wht the Policemen will be looking out for and if they dont see it, na to extort

Why do i have a feeling you are not looking at this exhaustively,panoramically and only making your judgement based on assumption that Nigeria is orderly.

Imagine a VC that is aljazeera-ed and all of a sudden besieged by policemen,how on earth does the owner explain to the police what the difference(s) is/are between aljazeera and Hitv,having in mind that these policemen are not trained to know their right from their left. . . . .isn't this avenue for chaos?

What happened again when policemen(or whatever enforcer that is used) decide to take law into their hands,seize like 5 decoders in a day and the decoders are eventually bailed out,wouldn't it be business as usual after such bail out and whose loss is that,HITV?

What happens to HITV when VCs decide to switch to Al-jazeera?You think any ecomomics postulation can save them then?

I am sure this whole decision is not well planned out.It IMPOSSILE  to actualize it in Lagos,never mind the whole of Nigeria.

BTW,Lets visit one of the VCs when my team visits OT and lets have a bet with our cars     _{i am sure you can make do with my 1979 jalopy}  

Change his look?

Eric Bennet?

I want to see how HITV will enforce this not in the sophisticated VCs in VI,Ikeja et al BUT in those viewing centres in Mushin,Isale-Eko,Agege,Bariga and other dilapidated shanks termed VC that doesn't have more than 20 viewing customers. . . . .  

I see it more as avenue for Nigerian Police to exploit rather than for HITV to increase patronage and up profits as enforcing this is gargatuan and nearly impossible.

No be this naija?I want to see HITV perfect what FG and SGs can't do.

doyin13:
I wonder when Fergie will concede his gamble on Owen has to be written off.

Besides Rooney, United lack players that will make defences shift, well
high caliber defences anyway.

Their passing will help them out against the smaller teams, but they might
find it difficult against the bigger teams.

And how many "bigger" teams do we have in EPL?

Of course United will shake of this lethargic performance as the season pans out but anyone that argues that United without C7 is the same is only being economical with the truth.

I am sure the return of OBERTAN is what Man U needs right now. . . . .
