then again you can\t crucify the guy.

if you are working at a job for N 25,000 and you are looking for a raise to N60,000 and your company is stalling and playing back and forth. Another company steps up and offers you N90,000.


PLEASE WHO ON THIS NAIRALAND WILL NOT TAKE THE JOB. SPEAK UP LET ME SHOOT YOUR ASS DOWN.

Soccer is a job, it's a means of livelyhood. in your job you have to look out for yourself.
I dnt blame the guy abeg. When he gets to 30 years and starts begging wenger for a two year contract instead of one year, will wenger agree.

Please let the boy go. I don't support the tapping up or the envy and blind jealousy of thierry henry. But i support the fact that he has taken he's career in his own hand and moved up towards a brighter opportunity.

Whether it works out or not is talk for another day.

look the way i see it is,

The guy wanted more cash and titles, not bad, since chelsea had he cash and the titles , but the problem comes with the way he went about it.

I don 't think he;ll ever be the hero he was at arsenal and even if the crowd didn't sing his name , at least he was appreciated. Once mOurinho sees a better left back, Cashley will be benched consistently.

Besides i'm happy with the coming of gallas, it was a good deal for me.

i haven't posted for sumtime but after seeing your crappy statement, i couldn't help but return to salvage you from the demolition that awaits you when the guns are trained on you.


You got spanked at older trashford, by a weak arsenal team. outplayed, outclassed in midfield by a small kid llike fabregas. rooney played like he had a monkey stuck in his ass.

give us a few games to start our unbeaten run, you know how we do it. it's over for united no premiership title for you guys. cuz chelsea, liverpool, and arsenal again will whoop your asses.

having said that, i'm planning a trip to cyprus, i've been seeing the ads on CNN and i'm looking for a vacation spot. Let me know what ya think.

Kitaun

i full ground cheesy

maybe kola means small in size and not in skills.


i was hoping for a new striker, an accomplished person to fill Bergkamp shoes,

Adebayor is not what i'm looking for. we need a sharp shooter to partner thierry. i don't know what wenger is thinking.

Henry seems burned out, the pressure is too much on the boy's shoulders. we should have bought martins or ibrahimovic or trezeguet or somebody with a name.

i don't want to see us chase this season again.

grin kola i've been really busy o , but i'm a bit freer now.

I was really hoping wenger would get gallas, and maybe one serious striker. some one to support thierry.

The way i see this arsenal team , they are skillful, but don't have the physicality needed to fight big teams like Chelsea and united. who have power and speed and thierry can't do it alone.

Abeg somebody should beg wenger to buy back Vieira or sienna or sombody big and tough.

Except some miracle happens i see us chasing agian this season.

the only person that can help us and i believe he will is thierry
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Premiership Highest Goal Scorer (who)? by nightrider: 12:23pm On Aug 29, 2006
we all know who it will be.

He might not have scored yet, but we all know that once he nets his first goal , it's VA VA VOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM till the end of the season.

we know who he is, he is the one to be feared. he might not have scored in two games.

But the Return of the King is Inevitable.
SportsPlease Can Arsenal Compete? I'm Getting Scared by nightrider(op): 12:11pm On Aug 29, 2006
Men i'm getting scared o!!! Arsenal is giving me what i want to see. I hope this season doesn't end like last season. Thierry seems burnt out and should be given a rest. so he can regain his fire power. The back four don't seem capable of holding a major attack. A team like united will tear us apart now.

I'm really hoping for some change. Maybe we shouldn't have sold sol and after watching Vieira in the world cup and his two goal comeback for inter agianst roma. I'm beginnning to have that feeling of regret.

vieira

you are right to brain wash your son, very very right

the bible says bring up a child in the way that he should go and he'll never depart from it

You can't risk him supporting a crappy, expensively boring blue team or a dumb a.ss red team. You need him to fly like emirates baby!!!!

to be slick like henry and agile like lehman, you need him to be strong like toure and smart like fabregas, you need him to be experienced like wenger and bleed like a gunner.

so man brainwash the boy, brain wash him. And keep arsenal in family for generations to come. angry

Vieira in your dreams man!!!!!

and i also thot you said ruud van nistelrooy was going nowhwere , that alex ferguson had him in his plans and was just playing saha so he could get time i the world cup

i distinctly remember you saying that.


so why isn't RVN in your planshuhhuhhuh

Because he is crappy. Even Van basten said so and benched his ass.

what united needs is a world class striker that can stand against any defence. Luca toni type or trezeguet. Torres can't do crap he'll jsut end up like reyes very fast but no goals cause he just ain't a finisher.

get Luca , trezeguet or klose. rossi can't do crap against chelsea's defence line man.

well its good he won it at least he'll retire with a memory. But a player of his calibre should have known better than to react like that and expect to remian on the pitch. Personally i think he cost his team the world cup. I blame him and domenech. france would have had better penalty takers on the pitch if henry and zidane where on the pitch. Trezeguet was not in perfect match condition mentally.
SportsRe: Goals Of The Tornament! by nightrider: 3:28pm On Jul 10, 2006
Torsten frings- Germany v Costa rica

Phillip Lahm - Germany v Costa rica

Ronaldo - Brazil v Ghana

Joe Cole - England v Sweden

Juninho Pernambucano- Brazil v japan

Fabio Grosso - Italy v Germany

Ribery - France v Spain

Zidane _ France v Spain





Great team goals


Ze Roberto - Brazil v Ghana ( this has to be one of the greatest examples of team play ever) it can rival carlos alberto's goal against italy in 1970.

Cambiasso - Argentina v Serbia Montenegro ( another beautiful example of team play)


I think the most exiciting team of the world cup was Argentina

jackal i love two of the coaches you've picked.

hector cuper and gus hiddink, i was hoping earlier that NFA would go for one of them.

Pekerman i see as a great youth coach. Erickson i have never really liked. Any coach who thinks he can play wayne rooney as a lone striker should go back to school. He has tried for England, but he just didn't have the spark.

But Scolari would be the ultimate.

SportsBrazil Is Not Playing Well by nightrider(op): 9:04am On Jun 19, 2006
I'm i the only one who has noticed the dullness of the brazilian team.

Ronaldinho is not himself.
Adriano has no spark and doesn't seem to possess a genuine threat
Ronaldo is absolutely not in form.
i still don't see the hype about robinho

Personally i think the best player in the team is kaka.
and also the man they didn't want ZE roberto.

The way i see it a well focused team with a sharp attack will maul this brazilian team.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Why Is Thierry Henry Mediocre In Major Tournaments? by nightrider: 2:31pm On Jun 16, 2006
huc,


Luca toni scored 31 goals for fiorentina- (this season only) good !!! but
how many goals did fernando torres score? dnt make me laff

Tevez, has yet to prove himself in europe.  don't deceive yourself

david villa ( didnt even win golden boot)

Adriano is better than henry( are you wide awake)

klass jan huntelaar is playing in the dutch league (do you know the dutch league? well if you don't its that same league where a certain kezman scored 31 goals in aseason)

please don't put lil messi in waters where sharks are swimmimg. (hes a great footballer not a great striker) 2 of his 6 goals at U21 world cup wher penalties aginst nigeria. lets hope he doesn't even fade out like all the other over hyped argentines , saviola, ortega, palermo.

shevchenko ( great striker, but how many times has he won the italian golden boot?)

Please there is no striker like thierry presently. don't deceive yourself. the only man in the EPL to hit more than 20 goals consistently for more than 5 seasons.

Henry has problems in the national team, ask yourself why, maybe he doesn't get the same buzz playing for them like he gets when he is in an arsenal shirt. French team is to zidane centered and thats not thierry henry's style.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Why Is Thierry Henry Mediocre In Major Tournaments? by nightrider: 9:35am On Jun 16, 2006
The problem with thierry henry in france is that the team is to zidane centred.
It's the same problem Obafemi martins has with jay jay okocha in the Nigerian team.
if you noticed obafemi never scores with jay jay playing, because all the balls are passed to jay jay first instead fo releasing obafemi on a
fast break which is his strength.
Does it mean obafemi is not a good striker. when jay jay is not playing the team relies on givng obafemi quick balls which is his strength. Thats why he scores. the games jay jay has played with obafemi, obafemi has been substituted when he plays in the same team with jay jay.


Henry complained of the same problem after euro 2004. he said the team was to zidane centred and it was affecting the strikers. Don't forget trezeguet was in the team too and he didnt score. So is trezeguet a mediocre. Everything in the french team must be routed through zidane, which kills off the strenghts of trezeguet and henry.

Henry scored 5 goals in the last champions league. He single handedly carried arsenal to the finals. with a fantastic goal against madrid.

give the guy abreak. ok


name a striker in the world presently playing thats better than him. and don't say Eto, because only an idiot will not realise that eto is strong because of the vision of ronaldinho and deco. when he was at mallorca without dinho the highest he scored was 16 goals in a season. so don't be stupid be realistic. Henry has done it all by himself.

i like that, i want to see what cech will do without Gallas, Makalele and Terry. I think this is the ultimate test of his goalkeeping skills. So far although he is good , i think he has been helped by avery good defence.
