Well ehm he once wanted to buy Paddy Viera, and who ever saw that one coming.

Lets face it, when coaches get to a certain age, they do strange things, i mean Le Prof signed Alex Song Till this day Arsenal supporters have no idea why. You might just be surprised to see danmcing Jermaine in AIG shirt, after all his fellow Spuddy is there (Carrick )

Anyway, guess not everyone is pleased that Adu is on trial with the Mancs

http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/0,,1958569,00.html

Tell me, what does ADUuuuuuuuuuuu do that Dafoe can't (i mean they both didn't go to the WC, They are both Black )

January should be interesting

barca vs villareal on sunday: Ronnie's goal

My comments are along the line of F@*K In Hell!!

GOONER 89

Well taking into consideration that the sculetto medal was taken away from him, means that he only has the WC to show for all the hype. (and besides Italy won on pens, so its not as if France really lost out during the match, or is Henry to blame for Zidane's headbutt )

Frankly i don't think he deserves it, TH14 should have picked it up this year, but like you said, the two finals spoke for him. If not it should have been given to Sam Eto.

Well guess they wanted to make the other footballers feel good, as usually defenders and goalkeepers are really the last folks to pick up awards.

Do i even bother with the Drogba stuff Well all i will say is Sammie Eto is injured, didn't go to the WC, yet is still seen as better than Drogs in africa, so Drogs should just shut up, he ain't even better than Kanu

He can't even polish Henry's shoes, and would pay money to be in the same advert as Henry. (this from a player who last season was booed by his own supporters and we are still arguing over his comments)

I guess is really good for him that when he opens his mouth people take notice, after all he accepted that he cheated sometimes on live TV so what do we all expect.

He is just lucky that Crespo decided to leave and they got him a pensioner as his strike partner, if not we won't be hearing all this rubbish

GOONER 89

Chelsea!! Chelsea!!

Oh well what do we all expect, they say a sucessful man has so many friends, and when you have a rubbish team like chelsea, with no known history, getting a rich benefactor, who gets them an arrogant coach and wrestlers for ffotballers, then little surprise that you will have so many strange peeps supporting them.

Guess we all have to live with this thrash for a while , but here's the thing lalaboi, If Man United win the league, then that will mean chelsea will go back to what they were, Nothing , cause you aren't winning the CL Barca or no Barca, and the Pool already set the standard by beating you guys for the Community Shield.

I would kindly suggest you concentrate on your team, after all you aren't invincible this season as you have been two seasons ago, (expect more boro and spuds displays for your team)

I guess when Chelsea lose, you end up smiling and eating pounded yam and egusi, cause it is obvious that you might be just a passing supporter. I will look out for any post by you on the Chelsea board, anytrime chelsea lose a game, to see what kind of supporter you are.

Hail yourself as much as you want, we ain't mad at ya!!

next set of games are on Wenesday, so back to the footie, and enough of the rubbish

GOONER 89

Maureen

"Mourinho said: "United lost a big, big chance to open up six-point lead.

"We're not top like we want to be but three points is just one weekend. It's a better result for us than them.

"If I was in their place I would be very disappointed. We showed our power in the second half and that we are not sleeping," Mourinho added."

Fergie

"It was a big opportunity for us but we didn't get the breaks," said Ferguson.

Ferguson added: "But the most important thing is that we have proved we deserve to be in top place in the league.

"I am pleased at the performance and the effort they made."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/6186238.stm

Who has the edge, my own view point

Maureen has the edge, as he said the scum could have put the nail in the coffin, but they didn't, and in life when you don't finish off your opponents, they come back to haunt you A la Anelka

Lets see how the scum can maitain that 3 points lead, I still maintain, this Man United team is only flattering to decieve, and only time will prove me right.

Nice goal by Saha though (at both ends!!)

GOONER 89

Kit here is what Ian Grant said before the game

"Van Persie (banned) and Henry (neck) are out, along with Gallas and Rosicky. Could be Adebayor and Ljungberg up front with Walcott as sub. Arsenal need Baptista's beef at Bolton, somewhere."

Every Arsenal fan knows that the squad was wrong, i decided to not look at a PC all through the weekend, (so i wasn't aware that TH14 was injured, and i hadn't realised that Bang! Bang would not play) so on getting to the Spot late with 20 minutes gone, i was really not surprised that we were 1 goal down, but then when i got a rundown of the line up by other GOONERS at the Spot, i almost wept (anyway the forlorn look on my crew's faces tipped me off that something was amiss)

Now kit we all know that WENGER KNOWS, but right now, Wenger Know's Shite

This is the text message i sent one of my pals in lag pre-empting him before he called to laugh at me (He is a Russian, so you can just imagine)

When Wenger was 10 years younger he bought Anelka and Viera, now he is 10 years older he buys Adebayor and Baptista!? Guess intelligence doesn't come with age.

Fact is Le Prof, also says he will not buy anyone in Jan, so we have to just fasten our seat belts and enjoy the bumpy ride.

I still feel the team will find its feet in the end, and also that the season is still open, however we are really not title contenders, we might get some good results, like beat the scum at OT and beat the Pool, Hopefully wipe the frown/grin on Jose's face on the 20th of December, and shove more S@*t down Jol's face. However if after that all we end up doing is drawing against teams like Newcastle, and losing to the Bolton's of this world, then we do not deserve the title.

Hope we get a result against Porto, and believe me Gooners, that will depend on the team Wenger puts out, if it has any resemblance to sat's team list, don't bother watching the match Believe me on that

GOONER 89

Mr Lala

please get your facts right as Mr. kit has told you, before you come here and speak rubbish

"BOLTON WILL never be one of Arsene Wenger's favourite places, as his team have failed to win a league match here since 2002,"

http://football.guardian.co.uk/Observer_Match_Report/0,,-69975,00.html

A little research will go a long way. Try and do that before you make a point

GOONER 89

Mr. Lala

What you see there has no bearing on anything you are saying. Things like "this team hasn't won at this stadia in 20 years" really has no meaning, any team on their day can win anywhere, thats just a fact of life, If not, we wouldn't have won at OT

Anyway Bolton What can i say

First @ Jackal, i tip my hat off, you predicted rightly, so i give you that one, but you must also admit that what killed us @ that game was the lack of a proper striker on the pitch, we did hit the woodwork 3 times. Even the Walrus said post match, that they were lucky with the woodwork.

Sam Allardyce said: " We had fortune today. The woodwork was in our favour. We scored wonderful goals. And you can't deny us a win with a goal like that.

We played better in the 2nd half, we were in the 1st half. Anyway another depressing trip up north.

To make matter worst, when i got back home, i had to watch that depressing film, THE PIANIST Ruined my whole evening , then unbelievably, finding no rest i woke up late at night and put on the telly, and guess what Super Sports[/b]decided to show again, You guess it the replay of the match, so i had to live every f@*king moment all over again, willing every single arsenal effort to just dip under the bar and into the net Wanting the ref to send of Davis for the blatent push on Eboue, hoping a sniper took out Anelka before the match, jumping up at Berti's goal only to realise that i had seen this match before, [b]AND WE LOST!!

Anyway the only person i will blame is Le Prof, why in heavens name he picked that squad i will never know , i have no problem with the formation, and i am ok with the midfield and to a large extent the defence, What we lack is a striker that will just take our chances. as Ian Grant asked;

One question we are entitled to ask is: Would it have been any different if Gallas, Diaby, Lauren, Rosicky, Henry and van-Persie were playing? And given the answer is an imponderable - it gives some hope on a very depressing evening.

Anyway, i believe that these match analysis summed up our game with the Bogey team

http://www.arsenalnewsreview.co.uk/index.php/news/422/42.html

and Le Prof says it best here

http://football.guardian.co.uk/Match_Report/0,,1957706,00.html

and arseblogger is sopt on here as well

http://www.arseblog.com/WP/index.php

Anyway, its a new day, and a very interesting two weeks for the Arsenal, yesterday is gone and we have to look forward, i have no doubt that this team will get some silverware this season, it might not be the league, but don't write us off yet

Will look at our two weeks of bedlum in my next post, Damn, the Spuds, Russians, Porto all in the next two weeks

In my test of three, Arsenal has flunked two, at least lets pass Fulham on wenesday

GOONER 89

P.S: Jackal there is an old saying that when you dig a grave for your enemies, dig a bigger one for yourself

I believe that score line should say

Chelski 3 - Manscum 1

Monday is just around the corner, enough time for you to think of all the excuses to give for Manscum being mangled

Gooners can i get an AMEN!!!

Guys could we all get back to the football please JESUS!!!!!

Mr. Amodu, i am really sorry i ain't the administrator of this forum, or else i would have banned you a long time ago. I praised you a while back for being a peace maker, but you have only returned back to what i saw you as, "a rambler" Please do this S@*t somewhere else

BACK TO ARSENAL MATTERS: I found this piece of info, to keep up our confidence for tomorrow, here ya'll

"Bolton have come to be known as Arsenal's bogey team, but surprisingly enough, the statistics don't support that term.

Out of 118 fixtures played between the two clubs, Arsenal have the upper hand with 47 wins, scoring 200 goals and conceding only 157. 34 games were draws and Bolton have only beaten Arsenal 37 times.

In the last 10 years (since Arsène Wenger took charge), Arsenal have beaten Bolton 6 times, drawn 5 times and only lost 3 times.

Admittedly, the last 2 losses have come only recently and Arsenal have been known to have difficulty coping with Bolton's hard-tackling and long ball game.

The last time Arsenal beat Bolton was in 2005. Freddie Ljungberg got the only goal in that FA Cup fixture. "

http://www.arsenal-mania.com/articles/3103245/Bolton-v-Arsenal-Fixture-History.html

We need to put a stop to this rubbish that Bolton are better than what they are, they are noting but a rubbish excuse for a football club, and i hope the boys show them how useless they are (FFS if the scum can score 4 against them, we should be able to blow them out the water!! Mr Walrus , we owe your team a good thrashing, and i hope you get it on sat).

Pls Gooners no more references to Amodu, as far as i am concerned he does not exist (until he changes his approach, or shows evidence of enrolment into GST 101: Proper use of the English Language

COME ON YOU RED AND WHITE ARMY!!!

GOONER 89

Hey One United Chaps

At least here is an Arsenal fan (not a self confessed Gooner) that actually give you guess some hope on sunday

But i feel Myles got it wrong this time, but just to show you that all Arsenal supporters are not anti- Manscum

http://www.arsenalnewsreview.co.uk/index.php/news/418/42.html

Nice analysis: NOT!!

The Scum are going down, and MP will apologise to his constituency on monday for such sacriledge

GOONER 89

The old folks say "behind every rumour is an element of truth"

26th November 2006: The day United get trampled by the USSR and Fat frank

GOONER 89

Now if we all took time to look, reflect, think and then talk or type as the case maybe, we would avoid silly stuff

Mr. Superstar , When did the word "gooner" become associated with Chelski

Now if you were not replying me directly, my bad!! but if you were, a little patience would do you nicely, instead of rushing to type.

What ever you feel, everyone has a right to feel what they feel, and 80 percent of folks all over the world had an inclination on what they percieved the outcome to be, as they felt Maureen would want to get Barca out (even sports journalist put the question to him before the match, to let you know it was an issue)

Does that mean you take away the victory from them!? NO, but i can bet with you that Maureen was not really bothered with that match, as he had sunday on his mind. Like i said, if the boys had gone out to draw or win, he would definately take it, but i think all he wanted was primarily for no one to get injured and to get guys match fit for manscum. As he knew that Chelsea, barring a disaster would top their group after CL day 6.

Now all this talk of Manscum doing this and that!! Ha F@#king Ha!?, We have heard this all before, we heard it before your game with us, we heard it before Southend, and we heard it before Celtic. Hope You don't blame Saha again for the bashing you are definately going to recieve.

The best you can hope for is a draw and no injured players But knowing you scummites, all we are going to keep hearing on the board is what ypou are going to do to the russians, and how you are going to do it BORING!!!

Nuetrals will be waiting in anticipation for all the excuses you can muster up on monday morning

ONE UNITED indeed

27th monday can't wait

GOONER 89

P.S. Did i hear someone mutter Bolton quietly, Oh well we also have our work cut out for us up north, but how we gunners would love "super sunday", if we beat Walrus FC, we can then relax and watch Manscum get mangled by Essien, Drogs, terry and that ugly looking dutch defender

Wish you One united chappies luck, cause big girl Maureen has a score to settle with big girl Fergie

Can we all say "PIZZAGATE PART 2"

Oga Amodu ,

Please take time to think more and talk less.

On your own footie schedule, are Arsenal playing on sat or sunday

A little thinking goes a long way

GOONER 89

Anyone that actually watched that match and believe that Chelsea did not sell out, either is being naive or does not understand the politics of FOOTBALL

That match was a cop out, Like the infamous scadinavian scandal at the World cup, and Nigeria's lackluster display against Paraguayat the 1998 WC, which meant that Spain was knocked out of the World cup.

Listen JM knew that he didn't need to win that match and with his eyes on sunday, he rested some players, and gave those he felt needed some game time to get back their sharpness a runout. He chose to lose a battle to win the WAR , by helping to eliminate one of your main contenders for the Cup. Classic "Arts of war" strategy!!

The aim was, "go out there boys, and play your game, if you lose, no diggidy!! if you draw, Oh well!! if you win!? F@#king Hell!!" either way, don't do to much and hurt yourself!! or else you will have me to answer to, as we do not need this game for shite!!"

I mean FFS who are they playing last, L Sofia

Maureen copped out to take out a rival, thats the story, " I mean do you think Chelsea would have lost to Bremen, if something was at stake!? I really think not?

Barca have themselves to blame for being in a situation where they have to wait till their last game to qualify, Same as Le Arse and the Scum of Manchester.

Do the simple things first then you can then be comfortable and arrogant in the next round. I mean FFS the Pool are topping their group

Either way, it makes the last games of the group stage of the CL, F@#king interesting (and gut wrenching!!) I believe there will be some tears shed on the night of Match day 6, i just hope we Gooners come out smiling

GOONER 89

Oga Loverbwoy

Please talk like someone who is a true Gunner

Pires was the best thing that happened to Arsenal, When did he ever do pass-pass as you called it, Believe me if Pire was on the pitch against Barca we would not have lost the CL, he is direct, and takes defenders away from other strikers. Rosicky and Hleb like to cut back into the midfield area, where Cesc and Berti already are, thereby making the midfield congested.

Pires made our midfield fluid and scored so many vital goals for the club, he was one of the pivots of our unbeaten season. LB don't you remember that even when he broke his leg and was out towards the tail end of the 2002 campaign, when he came to get his championship medal and lift the trophy, every other Arsenal player literally went on their knees and bowed to him ( i will paste either that photo or the Vid link, when i have time to look for it on my PC, to refresh your memory)

I don't need to go on, about this, as he is no longer with us , and i guess thats why Wenger got Rosicky, But Mozart should stop cutting in and be more direct "GET IN THERE SON!!" We lack a player that will drive straight into the D like Rooney, maybe Baptista will eventually be that player , maybe Theo will eventually play down the middle , all these are questions Le Prof has to find answers to and quick, Cause not scoring is becoming a habit, and a bad one at that (this is not the kind of Habit i want my team to get used to) imagine this "Welcome to Drawburn Grove the home of Draws" or Arsenal's stadium "the Drawmirate" sounds terrible i know, but thats the direction we are creeping into.

COME ON MY PEOPLE (Kitty, Lordi, LoverMan, Muki and co). Lets scream our heads out tonight and hope the boys in Red and white come good (a spanking for the germans will do us just fine please Prof )

COME ON YOU RED AND WHITE ARMY!!

GOONER 89

Well Madam Amoke

Its not as simple as it sounds, One, Wenger will never bench Henry, unless its to rest him, the problem is not with TH14, the problem is the fact we don't get the early goals.

Arsenal Pre Wenger, could play 85 minutes then grab a goal by Ian Wright or Kevin Campbell and win 1 nil. Post wenger, Arsenal no longer try to do that, We rely on ending the game as a contest in the first 20 minutes, which forces other teams to either come out and play or go for damage limitation.

Now i will say our problem is not with Henry, or With the Grove, but what i will call the Pires Factor!!

THE PIRES FACTOR

Post Wenger's Arsenal relied mostly on two players to grab goals, Freddie lungberg and Bobby Pires, which freed up TH14 to do damage, as defenders knew marking Henry was futile, as we could score from anywhere, even DB10 and Kanuuuuuuuuuuu poped in a few goals, well only one of those mentioned is still around, and he is now a fraction slower and injury prone.

I have said it always; When TH gets to the byline and cuts the ball across, he is looking for Pires, but instead he finds Cesc or Rosicky, and maybe Van P and Ade, and with no dis respect intended, these guys make scoring tap ins an embarrasing art form. That was Wengers problem, not getting rid of PV4 as PV ain't even doing it at Inter, his Problem was not giving Pires 2 years Now we are suffering.

With Pires in this team, we wouldn't have drawn 4 games, with Pires in the team we would have demolished CSKA at the Grove, with Pires in the team we would score in the 1st 15 minutes.

So what do we do , well we get back either bendther, arturo lupoli or Tony Stokes in January and give them the strikers roles instead of Ade or RVP, We stop playing 4-5-1 at home and go back to 4-4-2 (4-5-1 without Berti is thrash) We either move Kolo to the midfield and partner Senderous with Gallas (who is out of todays game with an injury RVP is back though ) or we just give Aliadere or Theo a chance as strikers (why Le prof decides to play Theo on the wings i will never know is he trying to turn him into another Overmars )

Anyway the season is still open as we are only in November, however if Man united win on sunday, then the league will certainly look a forgone conclusion, as SAF will not allow Manscum to lose this one. But a Russian victory will throw the stakes wide open, like i said the scum will not like the idea of having lost to Le Arse and Chelski at their beloved Old Trashford, However we also have to play our parts by getting a result at the Retirement Home (Reebok Stadium).

Lets see how we do against the Hamburgers to day at the Grove, will we eat them for supper or will we F@#k up again.

It seems LE PROF needs some valium to help him sleep ;

http://football.guardian.co.uk/championsleague200607/story/0,,1953277,00.html

Either that or a reliable goalscorer (if he looked like Pires, it would go a long way as well )

COME ON YOU RED AND WHITE ARMY, Lets be having ya.

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit.” – Aristotle

GOONER 89

Will everyone just grow up please

This whole stuff is unnecessary and wholly boring, i would expect better, but it seems the whole place is becoming an avenue for what most of you all have tried not to turn the place into

Mr. Amodu, apologies for my other post in the Gunner thread, i thought you wanted to join the bandwagon of trouble makers, its good to see you proved me wrong by being a peace broker here

People!! If these arguements had anything to do with footie issues, i would understand, but please do leave personal stuff as that "Personal!!" We can all agree to disagree

ENOUGH OF THE INSULTS

this is the time we are all meant to show our maturity and let some stuff slide off us, i hope we all take note (and my personal people, you know who you are, please we can't have a divided house, it makes the rest of us look silly, hope you get me )

GOONER 89

Some times in life we come across so many different people, some we find funny, other we find annoying, as this is a public forum, we are bound to bump into these kind of folks on a regular.

Amodu take a guess into which category you fall under

You seem to be a trouble maker, We drew at home to newcastle, so what, you guys lost to the bloody spuds and if care is not taken, you might lose on the 26th, so i really do not get your point Are you top of the league NO. If you win on sunday will you top the league NO.

So please do like casper the ghost and disappear . Do not come here and try and start trouble. Give your thoughts and thats it, no need to challenge folks in a sly way, cause believe me Mr. Kit is the wrong person you want to be messing around with, (go and ask Oga Akola )

Before i give a major rant, and believe me it will be major about the stale performances by the Gunners, i want you all to go through these articles on diverse views on how the team is faring, where we have come from, where we are right now and where we are heading to as a team.

I still maintain, that the next three games would determine if we were "CONTENDERS OR PRETENDERS".

Well we flunked one test , we now have two left, and good golly miss molly , they are both away games.

Abramovich & Deripaska see Arsenal beat Liverpool 3-0
By Myles Palmer

Two oligarchs went to the Emirates on Sunday, I hear.

Oleg Deripaska and his friend Roman.

Were they in Kia Joorabchian's box?

We don't know

The Russians saw a decent first half played at a high tempo and a second half when Arsenal took control, as Liverpool collapsed into disarray.

Why was Amramovich at the Emirates with his fellow oligarch ? Does he love a game of football that much ? Was it just a couple of billionaires having a few laughs on a Sunday afternoon? Is he getting bored by seeing Chelsea win 4-0 ? Did he want to see a closer contest?

Or did he say to his mate, "Why don't you buy Liverpool or Arsenal and then we can have a game of ping-pong every weekend?"

Deripaska, Yeltsin's son-in-law, is an aluminium tycoon who recently acquired LDV Vans in Birmingham. He turned round Gaz, the old Soviet jeep and Volga car company. He is said to be worth $13 billion. Two months ago he was rumoured to be making a bid for Arsenal but that was denied by the board.

Both billionaires are big mates with Putin. Abramovich sold Sibneft to Gazprom, the state-owned gas giant who will now sponsor Schalke 04 till 2012.That's a big deal and a long deal, could go up to 100 million euros. Gazprom is the third biggest corporation in the world.

Your guess is as good as mine Gooners

To the Russian, all we have to say is what President Reagan said "JUST SAY NO!!" We don't want to join the Axis of Evil "Manscum/Cheski/ "

GOONER 89

Mr. Kit  

Sorry guy just got your messages right now ,

Anyway no shaking, but i do feel, (like you always tell me), that you need to leave thesae guys alone, not every battle is worthwhile, and some folks just want to draw you out so as to piss you off (Like Oga Amodu). Please pay them no mind. As it is not worth the sweat and time you would have expended doing something better.

As for Lordi Well he said he was losing his mind , Guess that said it all then. Have you tried arguing with someone that is losing their mind, believe me its painful

Just ignore all the bullshit and focus on the positive stuff. When they are tired of being silly they will join the rest of us. Or maybe they just want to let off some steam as well, and not mean any harm, or maybe! , just maybe they are not just getting their views accross properly, even if they know what they want to say, anyway we should let them express themselves whether we find what they are saying irritating or not

Lets discuss the team as we now find ourselves in 3rd position, i feel we need to cement that place first and formost and then make a consicise push for the top and the next three Prem games will determine if we have what it takes to be contenders and not pretenders, especially our game on the 25th with Bolton

Our squad is getting back to full strenght and that is a big positive, at least we will have options for every position and there will be some competition for places, (except TH14, who you feel Wenger lets have a permanent spot in the team, which personally is not good )

So GOONERS wear your colours with Pride by 4 pm (naija time) and lets gun down the TOON at the home of Football, THE GROVE.

I will paste a funny article by Myles Palmer below, It seems the russians are taking a look at our club and want some . GOD FORBID We all need to do dry fasting and prayers to stop this blood sucking leeches from having anything to do with our beloved club. I MEAN 2 CHELSEA LIKE TEAMS in the Prem would be absolutely appaling

Back to the footie chaps

Wenger's France fury

Jon Brodkin
Friday November 17, 2006
The Guardian

"Arsène Wenger is understood to be furious with the France coach, Raymond Domenech, after Arsenal's Thierry Henry and William Gallas played all of the friendly against Greece on Wednesday, while Chelsea's Claude Makelele and Manchester United's Louis Saha and Patrice Evra only played half.
Arsenal face Newcastle tomorrow and Hamburg on Tuesday and Domenech's actions look likely to further damage his relationship with Wenger. The Arsenal manager criticised Domenech in August for using Henry for all of a friendly against Bosnia.
Domenech last night denied suggestions he and Wenger had had a confrontation on Wednesday night, saying he did not see the Arsenal manager after the match."

A, Should Le Prof just ban his players from useless Friendlies!? Aren't friendlies meant for coaches to test new players and formations . Stupid Domenech

We have the Black and White brigade on saturday.

Lawro gives us a comfy victory, actually says 3 nil to us


I don't think it will be that easy, but if we get an early goal, we will devour them

Berti has gone back to Brazil for some personal issues so we are without Rosicky and Berti, but Freddie is back and the Beast is back The Flamm,ster will still play in midfield and i guess Ade will get a chance.

Newcatsle have nothing we should be to worried about, but we should be careful of over confidence.

Would love to see the squad le prof puts out taking into consideration the midweek game against Hamburg. Only good stuff is that both games are at the Grove so we have Home advantage.

So COME ON YOU REDS, Get your Colours out and scream the lads to success.

Oga V For you

Enjoy, can't transfer my file copy to you (as i have no idea how to tranfer films over the net), as i have the film stored on my PC. So go through the Hostel Website and watch the trailer for yourself .

Sorry i didn't see jackal's reply,

Well he only just scratched the surface of the stuff that actually goes on, like i said i have lots of first hand details of stuff that actually happened to some pals of mine (i know some might be taken with a pinch of salt, but the stories all follow the same trend, and are very gorery in nature, so i will spare you the details)

Go and watch "HOSTEL" and you will get what jackal is talking about and a bit of what i am talking about, and believe me its only a bit

GONNER 89

Oga V

Not quite sure of what Jackal means, but let me give you my own views.

Here goes

Since the gradual break in the strong hold of the USSR on the eastern european bloc of countries, Nations like Hungary, Poland and co have now found themselves in the glare of the world.

Now with rising unemployment, and low living cost, they have become a haven for most western europeans and rich Americans, basically anyone with some dosh to spare. Most people go there for the notorious stag parties, as prostitution is quite cheap, and strip clubs are now gettin in vogue (Eastern europe is gradually becoming the Porn Capital of the world). However there is a nasty twist as murder and robberies are becoming rife, due to the advent of Gangs and drugs.

Now most general fun seeking tourists get caught up in this heindoism, as there are a lot of pretty Chics in these parts (and Mary Jane flows if you catch my drift ), now you know with money the stakes are always raised as there are a lot of sicko out there that want to fulfil their fantaises, So you hear of strange stuff going on, sort of like ritual killings and tortures of innocent tourist that find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time.

To cut a long story short, Go and watch Eli Roth's Hostel to get what i am saying, i would have given you more info (as i have quite a few first hand account of strange s#@t that have happened to pals of mine, and believe me it ain't funny stuff), but this is a sports thread, so i will end it there. But just a note of warning for anyone planning to take a sex filled trip to eastern europe "SIGN YOUR WILL JUST IN CASE!!"

Now back to footie matters

Ferguson anger at Ronaldo ankle injury
Daniel Taylor
Friday November 17, 2006
The Guardian

Portugal's head coach, Luis Felipe Scolari, appears to have made another enemy by accusing Sir Alex Ferguson's assistant, Carlos Queiroz, of being underhand and economical with the truth in an escalating row about Cristiano Ronaldo's fitness.
In a sustained and typically outspoken attack Scolari also alleged that Queiroz is orchestrating a campaign to replace him as Portugal's head coach. He claimed that the man who preceded him in the job from 1991 to 1993 was "using the media" to promote himself and questioned why Queiroz repeatedly turned up at their Under-21

"I don't understand his [Queiroz's] role in football but it seems to me that he is trying to return to the Portuguese national team, where I am already in charge," said Scolari. "It seems he is working on his candidacy for the position of national coach."
Queiroz has not responded to the allegations other than to point out that he is fully entitled to watch Portugal's younger players as part of his job. "We have a constant strategy whereby we always have a number of players we examine and give our attention," he said.

He has repeatedly been linked with vacancies away from Old Trafford, the latest being that of US national coach, but has often stated that he has no desire to leave England. United are dismayed by Scolari's handling of the matter, however, not least because Ronaldo returned from Wednesday's 3-0 defeat of Kazakhstan with a twisted ankle. The 21-year-old was withdrawn 56 minutes into the Euro 2008 qualifier having exacerbated an injury he picked up in United's 1-0 win at Blackburn. An ice pack was used to reduce the swelling.

Photographs of him grimacing in pain will cause United consternation before their game at Sheffield United tomorrow, particularly as Ferguson and Queiroz had questioned at the start of the week whether he should be withdrawn from the Portugal squad. "Ronaldo was fine to play," said Scolari, the man who this year turned down the chance to be England manager. "The issue here is that Queiroz has to maintain his image in front of the Manchester United fans. Publicly he said Cristiano was injured but, to us, he said he was well and that he would be OK to play. It is all a question of image."

Ronaldo will be tested today to determine if he can play tomorrow but United have one eye on Tuesday's Champions League tie at Celtic and may rest him anyway. Ryan Giggs is another concern, coming off at half-time in Wales's 4-0 defeat of Liechtenstein with an ankle problem.

Bayern Munich have warned Manchester United that €30m (£20.3m) in January would not be enough to tempt them to sell Owen Hargreaves, the 25-year-old England midfielder who is currently sidelined after breaking a leg two months ago. "We have thought about what to do if Manchester United make a good offer but we will not sell him," said Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, the Bayern president.

You know sometimes answers come in very strange ways.

Da junta i feel you brother and i appreciate you bringing up this topic, as we all learn not only from our personal experiences but also form other people's experiences.

Right now i am about to fall into this same dilenma, and it has been an issue that has been eating me up, i have talked and prayed seeking an answer, and lo and behold i stumble on this topic.

I have read with keen interest all the post, and i now realise that as much as we want our personal feelings and cravings to come to past we have to look at the consequences of our actions, and the effect it will have on all involved.

The only difference btw you and I is the fact that i haven't slept with the sister, and after reading everything and asking advice and praying over the whole thing, as much as i feel i am with the right person, i know my relationship with the elder sister will always be an issue which will not/never disappear. So i have to put my feelings and desires aside, no matter how good my intentions for the younger sister might be. It will never be understood.

Love is a very funny thing, you never chose who you end up falling in love with, but you actually can control how the aftershocks of that love affects everyone, and sometimes LOVE means letting go of some things.

So Da Junta take heart Bro, at least you have the priviledge of knowing that others also find themselves in this same situation and worst, so you are not strange (as some folks are making you out to be on this thread). I personally have found answers from this thread and i will be grateful to you (no matter what happens) for putting it up.

Cheers Mate.

He also said;

"Alan Pardew apologised because I felt provoked in a disrespectful way in my area. I accept his apologies and life goes on.

"It was a small incident when two managers had a disagreement on a heated incident. I will not demand a hearing because for me the incident is over. "

and

"I will not especially want to travel to the FA for that. I have been on the bench for 22 years. I know when I am right and when I am wrong and that's it.

"I said I regret having reacted so all the rest now can only be boring and a waste of time. "


So Mr. Tspurs try and do something more important with your time , the issue is dead, and everyone has moved on. YOU SHOULD TO
