The only players that might leave are Crazy Jens and Berti, Wenger has high hopes for Traore, and to be fair to the lad, he isn't that bad, just that he was thrown into the deep end too fast.

D Villa has come out to say he wants to come to Arsenal, but the question is, does Arsene want him huh

If Arsene wants Huntelaar, he wioll probably get him, but i doubt he will go for a striker as first priority.

As for the captaincy, i doubt he will replace Gallas, if he does, then Gallas will leave. The French don't deal well with being embarrashed in that fashion grin

Who in United do you see fergie giving the boot, i bet Saha will still be a United player next season grin grin

Heard he wants to add 3, Huunterlaar, a keeper and a Defender, either that or that Lyon midfielder Ben Arfa.

Personally i would have gone for Dean Ashton (but guess he is similar to Adebayor), and maybe Arteta, or get Barry from Villa and maybe David Villa from Valencia.

Anyways, right now he is far bothered with getting Flamini to sign the dotted line, whatever The Flamster will do, will force Arsene's "Superglue" hand.

Season is almost over, we will see what tricks Arsene has up his sleeves grin grin

Deco lightweight shocked

Le Chac there you go again sad Deco is very cunning and will get so many free kicks for Farcelona (could even get one of your players sent off with his diving antics tonight) Ignore the Portugezzer at your grin

As for Xavi huh You actually believe Ini (i am on speed) esta is better than the Pass Master huh I BOW FOR YOU OH!!

Wanna bet that either Messi or Divino will get a pen tonight wink

Le Chac cool

I'am good, i have been away not because of Le Arse, its just work man angry but i am a bit free now.

Well as for the game, ITS ALL ABOUT THE MIDFIELD! If SAF goes sentimental and plays Giggs and Scholes, you might lose the game, if he plays Ando and The Canadian you can stifle Xavi and Deco, those 2 lads will be your problem, if they control the game, Barca will rip your defence to shreds.

Like i said, both teams have the capability to turn on the style, it will be an open game, i expect the first half to be cagey, with the second half being explosive cool

All in all, should be a cracker of a match cool. Most build it as Divino vs Messi, i doubt it will be, i see Tevez being the key man for you guys (If Fergie starts him undecided)

Lets see how it pans out. Just pray Rio has his best game ever for United today wink

Nazikanu tongue tongue

Give us all a rest with your Wenger this, England that!? DON'T YOU HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO THAN BE A NUISANCE!! huh

You talk about Wenger giving excuses huh well i guess Benitez is not blaming anyone here;

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/article3799518.ece

SILLY PLONKER!! tongue tongue

Anyways, its good Liverpool get a taste of their own medicine, these Scousers have a belief that they have a God given right to special treatment tongue tongue

Funny that Riise scored in front of the Almighty Kop cheesy cheesy cheesy

Like Chacal, i would love it if Grant goes through, come to think of it, If the Mossad gezzer gets this trophy shocked, he will be the luckiest bastard since well undecided Joshua took the Jews into the promised land ahead of Moses grin grin (I am sure Somze and Nateevs will not know whether to celebrate or puke if they see Grant lifting the CL grin grin).

As for The Scum and Farcelona huh well its a cup game, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!! Usually, i don't buy these "Favourite" tag shyte, in a cup game, any team that gels on the day carries it, well taking into consideration some other stuff like luck and the refs and so on.

Ze Scum can hurt Farcelona, but Farcelona can also hurt The Scum as well, so it will be as much of an open game, as we will see at this level (at least it will be better than the Pool vs Chelscum borefest we had last night).

People point out Messi huh but i feel Deco/Xavi/Yaya will hold the key, Whom ever controls the midfield will win this game. Will SAF go for experience with Scholesy, or will he go for adventure with Ando huh Will he man mark Messi huh (i doubt it). How will the old man Thuram deal with Rooney, Tevez and Divino huh

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/columnists/martin_samuel/article3799188.ece

This has all the ingredients for a classic cool, United should be very wary of a certain Monsiour Henry though, he might end up being the joker in the pack (or he could end up just being a Joker grin grin).

MAY THE BEST TEAM WIN!!

Like i have told you, apart from on Nairaland, your opinions count for Bleep all where it matters, but you are very much entitled to them.

Now that you and Nazikanu have aired your piece on the top 10 list (or what ever you guys choose to call it), can we now be allowed to move on to other issues.

If you all want to continue this discussion, you can start a top 10 managers thread.

Tope cool

Abeg, leave them alone oh!! This stuff is getting boring, please lets switch to other far more important stuff.

Early kick off next tomorrow against Reading undecided I wonder how the boys will tackle that game, thankfully its a home fixture. I just hope the crowd doesn't get oin their backs (but then again, if we play woefully against Reading, then i can't blame the supporters).

I would like Arsene to start with Theo and RVP/Nic, let Ade get a rest. I guess Lehman will also be starting, and i would like Fab to get a rest as well, the boy don try. Let Denilson play.

Besides that, i feel new players coming in will have stuff to prove as the season winds down. They will be fresh, and take more risk, as they are playing with a free mind.

Will give more views later.

Chacal cool

That is your list, and you are very much entitled to it, but does it change it being a list from a biased Manc huh NO!!

Thankfully, you are in no position of authority[i] (Footballing or Journalistic wish) [/i] for your list to even matter, so we will leave it at that.

1 million people can say whatever they like, but usually those that make what they say reality, are quite few, and since they are the ones in authority, WE ALL HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT!!

Just like the FIFA Footballing awards, everyone and his gran ma has an opinion on who/whom they felt should have won, but does that change the result huh

Like i said, ask most managers to mention their top 10 Living managers (including the ones you listed out, except Maureen for obvious reasons) and Wengers name will come out in 80% of that list. I can also bet Maureen's name will not be there. I will categorically say that folks like Lippi, Benitez, Ance, Rijkaard and Trapattoni WILL NOT INCLUDE JOSE MAURINHO IN THEIR LIST!!

Now don't get me wrong, i am not here saying; "Oh Wenger is in a list", these personal awards do nothing for me. I am an Arsenal supporter, not a personality supporter. I am proud when a player or coach of the club gets nominated, or acknowledged for any personal accolades, but thats where it stops.

Whether Wenger is in any list or not, doesn't matter to me, its what he does for my team that matters. If Henry goes on to win awards in Spain with Barca, how does that affect me huh, i can only feel proud that he once wore the Arsenal colours. So it has nothing to do with being a Gooner.

A list was presented with the gaffer being mentioned, if you are not happy with it, GO AND START YOUR OWN NEWSPAPAER OR COLUMN AND GIVE OUT YOUR OWN LIST!! (Doing so on Nairaland doesn't count for shyte mate).

Anyways, that will be my last on this issue, as i can always tell how this arguement thing will go, and for now, IT IS DEFINATELY NOT AN IMPORTANT ISSUE FOR ANY Nairaland GUNNER WHETHER JACKAL THINKS WENGER WILL MAKE THE TOP 100

TKB

It just goes to show how biased you guys can be, most times we Africans just think its all as simple as ABC, thats why we get left behind in most things. granted some of these things are sometimes skewed, but generally there are reasons given for any end result.

At the begining of the article (If you cared to read the whole thing lipsrsealed), the writer gave the criteria used, and said footballing peers were asked for their views, yet because it doesn't fit in with the typical "I KNOW IT ALL" mentality, then they must not know what they are talking about huh

Thats how Chacal was here spewing trash about Cesc and Ade being nominated for the PFAs to console Arsenal fans shocked huh FFS What kind of Bunkum talk is that, even Micah Richards explained the way the PFA nomineees are picked, which would give any sensible person a handle on why the nomination is the way it is, thats why i didn't bother arguing with him, i mean how can i argue with someone that says Ryan Babel is better than any Arsenal player grin (besides if by now Chacal does not know how the PFAs work, then what is the world turning to grin grin).

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/7349342.stm

ASK ANY MANAGER OF THEIR TOP 10 LIVING MANAGERS, and i can bet Arsene's name will crop up in about 80% of their list. I know that might really hurt you to hear or see, and i can recommend ways for you to take out the annoyance of seeing Wenger being acknowledged. But reality is reality.

I ain't surprised, you know we naija folks like the "Praise" and "FLASH AND DASH" mentality. We see someone get rich quick from nowhere, and we start to worship them, and give them traditional titles and accolades because he/she is the happening person and has all the flash and dash that goes with their ill gotten wealth. (PUT THE NAME OF A CERTAIN SPECIAL ONE IN THIS CATEGORY)

Whereas, someone who has put in lots of work, and his contribution if looked at carefully, is more substancial and lasting in the long run, than the ones put by the "Flash and Dash" personality, whom we all worship, is vilified and looked at with disdain huh AND WE WONDER WHY WE ARE A BACKWARD LOOKING PEOPLE!?

Face it Tkb

Even those coaches you mentioned (Apart from Maureen) will tell you Arsene is in their Top 10, MIGHT I ADD, EVEN SAF WILL SAY SO!!

So if those that know the game feel so, WHO ARE YOU EXACTLY huh A MAN UNITED SUPPORTER!! I guess that counts for much!!

Chacal tongue

Stop being a dimwit, have Arsenal not won games, that we didn't deserve to win huh If Liverpool end up being knocked out by Chelsea, are they still better than Arsenal because they knocked us out of the UCL huh If you say that, then that means Coventry are better off than United, because they knocked you guys out of the Carling Cup.

Silly Scumtwat analysis tongue tongue

Lets squash this arguement, causeyou and i know, we will never agree on this.

Fact, Arsenal under achieved (Bleep most people saying we over achieved). We have to deal with the consequences of that (like Chacal's analysis tongue) till we get back on track.

Babel

Chacal stop smoking reefers huh WHAT THE Bleep HAS BABEL DONE (Apart from getting a dodgey pen and killing off the game).

You say Liverpool are better than Arsenal.

First game at Anfield, we played Liverpool off the park, (mostly in the second half)[/i]but couldn't take our chances.

Second game at the Emirates, we played Liverpool off the park, and were denied a stone wall pen on Hleb to win the game.

Third game at the Grove, it was even stevens, Liverpool played us off the park in the first half, and we came back in the second half, but a draw was a fair result (a faint shout for a pen for Fab was denied).

Fourth game at Anfield, we played Liverpool off the park in the first half, but they took their chances, had a dodgey pen awarded to them, but generally took their chances.

So how are they a better team than Arsenal huh They got through to the semis in the UCL, its a cup competition ffs, so will you now say Barnsley are a better team than Liverpool and Chelsea because they beat them in the FA Cup, or Spurs are better than Chelsea, because they beat them in the Carling cup final.

STOP BEING BIASED!! tongue tongue

No one will say Torres isn't class, even in United, i would say Torres is more of a killer striker than Rooney and Saha, but when he came to OT, did he show up huh

Now because Liverpool knocked Arsenal out of the UCL, Babel is better than the whole Arsenal squad huh I guess Roma are a better team than Real M because they knocked them out huh Or Getafe are at par with Bayern, because they almost caused an upset huh[i] Where is Nazi Dayokanu sef
huh

Thats why having an objective discussion with you sometimes, can be so annoying tongue

Rikky huh

Why is it that when you all don't see someone for a while, the next statement is;  "HE IS HIDING" huh

When you all don't post for a while, do i come oput to say; "You were hiding" huh HIDING FROM WHAT EXACTLY huh NL Scumtwat members huh

Anyway, why bother.

Defeatist position huh Rikky! Rikky!! Rikky!!! Its not a defeatist position to face reality, i believed my team would win the Prem, and we won't, so what is defeatist about that huh Are we meant to go into a season with the notion that we won't win huh I really don't get your point. huh

Or are Gunners now meant to cry and do a rain dance because we won't win anything this year huh

Make no mistake, even when next season starts, i will still believe Arsenal will win the Prem. cool

I believe in my team, and even when they fail, i will congratulate the eventual winners and go back and re-group for the next challenge, afterall the English league didn't start this year, its been going on for more than a century, so every new season will see me backing The Arsenal till it becomes unrealistic to do so.

Afterall, most supporters (even United supporters) have been backing their teams, even when they get relegated, so what gives.

Anyways, you all can carry on with the fun and games, its all for entertainment. I even find some of the stuff funny to read/recount.

Na JK wey just find liver from God knows where that is surprising me shocked huh

Anyways, whats that saying again; "The Young shall grow!!"

KEEP IT GOING!!

Chacal huh

You of the; "Spurs will finish higher than Arsenal in the Prem", "Game week 10" and other Bunkumery shocked grin The only one that can really open his mouth/gob is your Man Servant, he was the only Scum Plonker that had his onions right this season. The rest of you Scummies just towed the line depending on the position of the season.

a scummy saying United will retain the Prem title is like Christians saying Jesus will come again, WHAT DID YOU EXPECT THEM TO SAY!? so ther was noting new and novel in making that statement. I have said it before, Footie is 40% talk, and every fan talks a good game, but the reality on the pitch will determine the winners and the losers.

In this situation Arsenal are the losers, we take it on the chin, and look forward to next season. cool

Oh well, i no blame una, na Arsene i blame, but really it shows the silliness of you Scumtwats, i doubt most Gunners will have time to spend a day digging up old quotes like you all have done, but i guess thats why you are the Scum.

Rikky tongue

Oh well, fair is fair, i made those statements (and i stand by everyone of them) at the time my team was playing well (even you believed that we would win something, even if you didn't see us winning the Prem, but then again, i presume in your need to start this thread, that point slipped your mind).

But its all good, United (And to an extent Chelsea) have been the better team this season, and i can say that with my head held up high. My lads couldn't stand the Marathon, and the LEAGUE TABLE DOESN'T LIE (ARSENAL DESERVE TO BE 3RD ON THE TABLE sad)

Chacal grin

Well, my surprise is that Rikky Ricardo started this thread, would have expected you or one of your "Addams" family members to have started it, but guess Riokky beat ya'll to it wink THE SLY BUGGER tongue

JK huh

Read my lips again; LOYIKA DOESN'T HIDE!!

Like i said, this new obsession with Loyika from the Scumtwats is becoming worrisome huh ARE YOU ALL CARD CARRYING MEMBERS OF G.L.A.D. huh

But seriously though, why would i hide. I said it, i strongly believed my team would win the Prem, and if that didn't happen, i would come on to Nairaland and raise my hat off to the eventual Champions. i did it last season, so nothing stopping me from doing it again huh

This is football bro, there can only be 1 winner in each comp, unfortunately we didn't win anything, so my congrats will go to the winners (for now Tottenham are the only confirmed winners of any trophy from England).

So if and when United lift up a trophy, be sure that loyika will come in to give his congrats. CLUB LOYALTY DOESN'T MEAN I WON'T CALL A SPADE A SPADE WHEN THE DUST HAS SETTLED. cool

How funny it is that you don't want us to alk of the Pens, oh well, doesn't change the result, Liverpool go through regardless.

But remind me to remind you if they also get another of these dodgey decisions against you all (as they always do). or will it be third time lucky for the Chavs huh Afterall, you guys have the Advantage of not having Maureen on the Bench, cause benitez won't faze grant with his "cool attitude", cause Grant is far cooler (more out of a clear case of cluelessness, rather than of knowing wht h is doing grin).

Anyway, in line with our discussion on the 4 year theory, this year i have to say, its advantage Chelsea.

1. Carling Cup Final
2. CL semis (at least you guyscan put this Liverpool hodoo to bed once and for all).
3. In line for a 3rd Prem title, if the FA will let you guys get it lipsrsealed (what with moving fixtures around at this time of the season for no good reason huh WHATS THAT ALL ABOUT. undecided

Oh well, thats footie for you.

Nice game yesterday against the Turks cool lets see how far you guys can go.

JK huh

Your sudden facisnation for where Loyika is huh is becomng worrisome to say the least huh

Anyways people, its been a funny 2 weeks.

I have been away from my station for the past 2 weeks State trotting across the country that is Nigeria, wonderful yet tiring.

In the past 2 weeks alot has been happening in the world of footie, specifically as concerns my beloved club, ARSENAL FC cool

So with a month to go till the end of the footie season where do we stand undecided Well it seems we blew our chance for ay silverware last night, as only a miracle will deliver us the Prem.

And following the way decisions have been going against us, coupled with the failings of the team, i don't expect much/hold much hope.

Observations on last night's game.

1. If that was a pen, then how come the one against Hleb wasn't given huh I guess that was a clear case of "SH@T HAPPENS" UEFA Style. tongue.

Usually these kind of stuff even themselves out, but it usually is applicable in a league situation, not a cup game where the stakes are so high, and some decisions can make or break you. This one broke us. sad

2. Congrats to Liverpool, they got it right over the 2 legs, decisions or no decisions.

That match was a CLASSIC cool We gone the rough end of it, but i raise my hands up for both teams, they wet for it, and the best team won cool

3. Why does Arsene continue to play that MOFO Eboue huh why oh why must we be put through minutes of watching that guy donning an Arsenal jersey tongue tongue cry cry

4. I have no other complaints, we made defensive errors, of that there is no doubt, but like i keep saying, Cup games can go either way, some refs would have not giventhat pen, and the game would have been ours, but it wasn't, we live with it.

The boys played their hearts out (some more than others angry). I can't ask for more. Well i can, but what difference will it make.

Players of note from both teams.

1. Torres  cool PURE CLASS.
2.  Babel  cool Showed a calm head for the fourth goal (but we all know that wasn't a pen grin).
3. Sklittel  cool PURE CLASS
4. Hypia  cool Class.
5. Crouch  cool PURE CLASS Why Benitez doesn't trust in this guy, io will never know.
6. Benitez  cool PURE CLASS Calmness personified.
7. Anfield  cool PURE CLASS I know the Scousers can be a bit rough, but their fans and stadium is out of this world.

1. Cesc  cool Class, i know you have been giving your all, so can't blame you for anything.
2. Flamini cool PURE CLASS When you went out, i knew we were done for (funny how no one noticed that Gerrard clipped Flamini huh Stevie seems to always commit those funny fouls, such like the ones Bergy loved to commit grin).
3. Theo cool PURE CLASS Wenger please i don't care if he has some bad games, Theo deserves to start every game from now on. WHAT MORE DOES HE NEED TO DO huh What is Eboue doing that Theo isn't to get a start.
4. Wenger cool Apart from the inclusion of Eboue (and Diaby to an extent, although he did justify his inclusion), what more could you have done. Some players gave their all, and most times in the gave we outplayed the scousers to a standstill, but it wasn't meant to be.
5. Gunners cool PURE CLASS You traveling supporters, we raise our hats to you, you follow the team through thick and thin,i don't know how i would have reacted if i was at Anfield last night. YOU GUYS ARE WHAT MAKES US PROUD.

Anyways Myles P gives a brilliant write up here, and i agree with him (to an extent).

Best bit for me cool

"For Arsene Wenger, next season starts today.

Forget about Old Trafford on Sunday, it's irrelevant. This pulsating drama, these six goals, defined Arsenal’s season. In these 94 minutes we saw the best and worst of Arsenal 2007-2008. This 4-2 defeat told us everything we need to know about what has to be done to improve the Arsenal squad."

"then it was everybody’s kind of game. Whether you are an aesthete, a strategist or an adrenalin junkie, there was something for you here. "

This game will live long in the memory cool, regardless of the result sad

Tomorrow is stock taking day, so everyone should feel free to pour out their emotions today, so that we could move over to something new tomorrow cool

MADAM MODERATOR angry

I Thought in your Memoirs of rules and regs, you specifically said no useless threads will be allowed, i then ask; DOES THIS THREAD NOT FALL UNDER THE SPECIFICITY OF BEING UTTERLY USELESS huh

If not, could you please enlighten us on what a "useless" thread is and what it is not.

If i start a thread on my recent decision to consider WWE Wrestling as a sport and no longer entertainment, will that fall under the "useless thread" mantra, cause its in the same proximity as this Rubbish thread tongue.

So for emphasis sake, Madam Moderator, define what a[b]"useless thread"[/b] is, cause most of us are confused huh

Or is Nightrider now a co-moderator of the sports section as well huh

TTBD!!

Nightrider angry embarassed embarassed embarassed embarassed

You are a flipping Divvy tongue tongue

First things first, WHO GIVES A DAMN IF YOU SUPPORT DUMBO FC huh Did anyone from Arsenal ask you to be a supporter huh So why the need to start a thread to tell us that you no longer support Arsenal huh The only reason i can fathom is because you want cheap popularity embarassed.

Listen Bro, whether you choose to support Arsenal or Chelsea or whomever is your flipping bizz, we don't need you to start a useless thread on such frivolities, save the drama for your pals/friends and spare us all this nonsense tongue.

No one will miss anyone that chooses to leave, the club owes you jack, so what is this BIG ANNOUNCEMENT ALL ABOUT!! huh

You will come back when Wenger is sacked huh Imagine the nerve, and WHO EXACTLY DO YOU FELL YOU ARE FOR ANYONE TO CARE WHETHER YOU COME OR GO huh

Arsenal FC is going to be around with or without your support, you say that you have no alliegence to the club, then just leave the club alone, and stop looking for attention, afterall Razorr has stopped supporting Chelsea and now supports the Mancs wink, DID ANYONE DIE huh

Now that you have declared your independence, i guess this thread has no reason to exist.

Support whomever you want Bro, no one put a gun to your head to support Arsenal, and no one will lose sleep if you choose to support Man United, ITS A FREE WORLD!! Just spare us the need to start USELESS THREADS.

Will you also start a thread if you Girl friend decides she has had enough of you and wants someone more masculine huh

TTBD!!

huh huh huh

Its funny when you all don't see someone for a while, the presumption is always that "HE WAS HIDING" huh

I have told you all time with out number, Win or Lose, i am not running, if i am not on Nairaland its because i have travelled for "Out Station" work and don't have time to post.

Anyways, sh@t still has a while to go down, although the momentum is not with Arsenal, but i strongly believe we will knock out The Pool tomorrow, Kop or no Kop, we did it in 1989 with a last minute goal to take the title away from them, we will do it tomorrow. cool

Then its anyones comp (besides i don't do Cup comps tongue).

Anyways, i am back on ground this week, so will get back to normal as from tomorrow. cool

It goes way beyond Wenger, some of those lads are bottling it when it matters, where i can bla,e Arsene is for his need to trust some players, when it is obvious they are going through a rough patch.

For example, why not bench Ade and start Nick B and "the Perse", then introduce Ade as a sub, i believe Ade is getting complacent, and coming in as a sub will re-motivate him to fight for his place.

Also most folks are slagging off fab4, i mean what more do people want the guy to do huh, He has given 2 assist for both goals against Boro and Chelsea, he opened the scoring at the San Siro when our strikers were AWOL. He send in all the killer passes which are not being utilised (Imagine if a player like Torres was at Arsenal shocked). Yes his form has dipped, but by God, other players need to step it up as well to support the lad.

Flamster is doing a good job, i didn't see fat frank much during the game, most times Chelsea choose to by pass the Midfield and hit Drogs first time. Apart from him and some others like Sagna, who else is stepping up to be counted huh

Basically, complacancy has crept into the squad, with us dropping points unnecessarily

1, Clichy's loss of concentration against the Brummies.
2, Ade refusing to pass to Nick to kill off The Brummies.
3, Ade's lost early chance against Wigan.
4, Senderos own goal against Villa (i mean how many shots did Villa nmuster during the whole bleeping game huh).
5, Gallas waiting for the Offside decision against Boro, which led to Ali's goal.

I could go on and on. Some say its fatigue undecided some say its a thin squad huh whenever has Wenger ever had a bloated squad huh Some say its the lack of talent in our squad huh YEAH RIGHT!!

The simple truth is that, the lads are bottling it when it matters, Liverpool are suffering from the same thing this season, THEY BOTTLED IT AT OT!! We are using the excuse of picking games to perform, well we didn't perform at SB tongue tongue

This season was a good opportunity for the team to step up, unfortunately they have decided to step down when it matters. I still feel we will come good someway (not sure where, not really chuffed about the CL, as i don't bank on cup games tongue even Derby can muster a good cup run and come out victorious). Its your league position that determines what you are made of.

If we happen to win the UEFA CL, Great cool, but i am sure Wenger and most of the Arsenal supporters want to win the league. (We don't want to become like Liverpool: A CUP TEAM embarassed).

Will analyse more of this shyte tomorrow bro cool
