@ Franklinog
Sorry for the belated for the belated birthday,
for that you'll get a double dap

Hey sauce,is uhm a word of inspiration/encouragement,a new idea/fad or a joke

Hola creamy,welcome on board
How creamy is this chic?

Hey guys,while we look forward to our respective birthdays,I need for y'all to suggest ways to spice up this thread.
It could be words of inspiration/encouragement,a new idea/fad,a joke or whatever
as long as it's cool,then by all means let's have it
I'll start by throwing in a joke about this man who had earlier promised his wife that he'd quit drinking

Man comes home late one night and the following convy ensues

Wife:Have you been drinking again?
Husband:Why would you ask me such a question @ this time of the day
Wife:Actually it's night already and the way you're staggering suggest you may be drunk
Husband:Well I had a drink or two but I'm not as think as you drunk I am


Over to you peeps,let's av yours

dangermous:
Are Arsenal buying Makoun?

If they are, I fear sha. He is certainly an upgrade to Flamini in my opinion, if his exploits in C-League past
are anything to go by.

Good observation.
But why you dey fear

vicade:
are spurs going for samuel eto.
i Hope not.
i pray wenger does not let any player leave again even the low calibre players like senderros and eboue should stay .

I still don't know why ricardo quaresma is not in a big club. ever since he left barca for porto, nobody wants to take a chance on him.

Carlos vela is also coming back.

I prefer benzema to ben harfa but Arsenal will not be able to afford him

Niko krancjar of portsmouth is also a good player that can move the ball

I disagree COMPLETELY with you on Eboue and Senderos,they should be "dashed"(given out for free) to any interested clubs,especially Eboue

Niko is an Arsenal player in another jersey IMO

debosky:
Sillyseason is about to begin. . .strap yourselves in guys., it will be one hell of a ride.

And AW is yet to do something definite per buying a CB,additional midfielder and striker

I shudder @ the thought of his not buying players in ANY/ALL of the above departments

@ Wanajo,

I asked you for 4da info on the fund your broker is floating for the starcomms PP,still waiting for ur response

loyika:
I heard Bayern want to bolster their squad by luring Phillipe Senderos from Arsenal to come to Munich,

Finally,my 3-year prayer is about to be answered.
But are you sure it was only senderos,what of that annoying eboue fella

justkunmi:
the point in the article. . . _{i guess}

Which is

justkunmi:
didnt read the article. . .
why should I bother?

Oh buzz off you irritant

Now that it appears the bulls have almost chased away all the bears,I advice peeps to grab as much good stocks now as possible(depending on your liquidity) before they become too expensive.
Most of the stocks are now candidates for CICO

[Arsene would make my summer if he goes out and gets Berbatov (who desperately wants to leave Spurs). [/b] ]]

Not on your life mate.Spurs would never sell Berbie to Arsenal,even if he's on a free transfer,he'd rather sign for another club,what with the mutual hatred that both teams have for each other.
There are other top of the pack strikers some of whom have openly admitted their admirsation for Arsenal,question is;will AW make the right call?

Hugoboi:
Flamini's gone and Hleb is next on line.Damn!! I aint no gunner but my heart goes out to all their supporters because those youngsters play some good footie.

All these has happened because of the very unpopular Wengernomics
I'm still trying to figure out that drastic thing that'll have to heppen for AW to come back to his senses,swallow his pride and do away with the above unproductive policy

Why bother investing in youth when they can simply walk away or buy their contracts out? best buy the best and then dump them before they dump you, ala Cheski.Are we a feeder club?

Ta ta flam, thanks for the efforts this year. However, last year you were good enough for Birmingham and now its AC, Wenger done you big favours

It’s really too bad there isn’t a salary cap in European football because Arsenal would win the league and the Champions League every year if there were.

Wenger is great at finding players that fit into his TEAM, he is much more of a coach than most of the managers out there….most of them are more psychologist who know how to manipulate big egos and who use their inflated budgets to pit one player against another who is sitting on the bench waiting to take his place.

Your thots on Flams leaving

“I had one or two tears in my eyes,” he said afterwards. “It was a great farewell for me. This farewell will always stay in my heart.

“The boss told me before that he planned to get me on. It was a very warm welcome on the pitch and I was very fortunate because the team didn’t let me down before, just in case it had been 3-0 or 2-0 for Everton, it would have been a different reception.”

“It was the right decision from the start to the end, to come here,” he said. “Not only in terms of football but as well for my family. My children now are talking, are speaking better English than German, and they don’t want to go back.

“My wife and myself, we learnt the language quite well and we learnt about another way of life. A very respectful, very kind way and that’s a little bit different to Germany. There are a lot of similarities between English and German people but there are some differences as well.

“As for the football I was part of a team which was playing probably the most attractive game. It was really good.

“In the first two years we won something, unfortunately in the third year we were very close to winning the Champions League, but failed in the end.

“My biggest memory was probably the Real Madrid game at home, when we played 0-0. Then of course the FA Cup Final and then there was the game we became champions at Tottenham.

“I was together with Sol Campbell we were the only players who felt disappointed in the dressing-room because we didn’t know we were champions by this time. We had conceded a goal just at the end and it finished 2-2. That was a very, very emotional moment for me.

“But, I said before, there are more memories than only just playing, there is the reception of the supporters. The respectful kindness of the supporters.” Words of Jens Lehmann

A-40:
Football has evolved and he wont win shyte with some players in that squad i mean how did we get to this point this man has lots of soul searching to do.From the likes of Petit,Suker,Bergkamp,Vieira,Wiltord,Ljunberg to Song,Eboue,Bendtner,Adebayor,Diaby what does he hope to win with those sorry bunch?

I tried comparing the squads some months back,tried consoling myself that this present squad would hold their own and evolve into some kind of compact all-conquering team.
Alas,I've been proved wrong in the most unkind manner possible,as there's really no basis for comparing the 2004 squad with the wannabes we have now.

Regrettably,AW seems not to see the impending doom that lies ahead if he doesn't make a volte-face from his current highly unpopular stance

Pclay,Testy welcome on aboard
Have a taste of the unrivalled bonhomie
Let's build the momentum towards our beloved month

Hi iice

Thanx for dropping by

Tell your bro to answer his nominal roll,i.e show face

Arsenal Managing Director leaves the Club
After eight highly successful years at Arsenal, Managing Director and Director of Arsenal Holdings PLC, Keith Edelman, has today announced his departure from the Club in search of a fresh challenge.

Mr Edelman, who was responsible for overseeing the historic move from Highbury to Emirates Stadium, has resigned as a Director of Arsenal Holdings PLC, but will be retained by the Club for a 12-month period to ensure that a smooth transition takes place.

Keith Edelman said: “I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Arsenal. It has been a very exciting period for the business and I am proud to have contributed to the Club’s many off-field achievements over the past eight years, not least the Emirates Stadium project. Now that we have completed our second season at Emirates, I believe it is the right time to seek pastures new and embark upon fresh challenges.”

Peter Hill-Wood, Chairman, commented: “Keith has played a major role in the growth of the Club since he joined in 2000. In that time we have successfully implemented the move from Highbury to Emirates Stadium that has underpinned the future of the business and confirmed our position as one of Europe’s leading clubs. We are grateful to Keith for his crucial role in this transformation.

“Under Keith’s stewardship the Club has achieved record profits and the Board owes him a debt of gratitude for his contribution. We wish him the very best for the future.”

The Board has already initiated the search for a new Managing Director and will update shareholders and stakeholders when appropriate. In the meantime, Director Ken Friar, who has a wealth of football-based experience and business acumen having previously occupied the role of Managing Director (1982-2000), will assume the position of Acting Managing Director


Do I smell a renewed hostile take-over bid?
