European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (A New Strength, A New Hope). by slimshay(m): 2:03pm On Apr 11, 2011
See you, they are already reporting £60m cash to splash for Arsene Wenger in the summer grin.

I pity a lot of people; setting themselves up for elephant-proportion disappointment. What dont people understand? That this guy has been there for a while and obviously sanctioned the way its been done before now. Why with all the Platini's faniancial kilotinpe in the horizon, will he now suddenly change direction? huh
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (A New Strength, A New Hope). by slimshay(m): 11:35am On Apr 11, 2011
IMO neither of the 2. Things will remain as is.

4ller you talk as if this guy just came out of the blue. FYI he has had the largest share at Arsenal for a while now and he's very much part of that board that 'was willing to just be making profit' all along.

Everything points to business as is. Except somebody somewhere has a change of ideals: Kroenke, PHW, Wenger etc.

Click the link Mystical posted. It has the details of the offer Kroenke made to Fizsman and Lady Nina.

Is that free credit Jyjdo? Nice one! Dont use multilinks tho.

@Mystical, i'm reading the details now, thats where I posted those stuff from. To be honest, I dont see much changing. He is going to pay ofr it in cash or he will owe Fizsman or Lady Nina.

We should be looking at what happens after. In terms of spending policy and Arsenal personnel including coaches and players. And an indication is in the first and second point point I posted above from The MOU.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (A New Strength, A New Hope). by slimshay(m): 9:02am On Apr 11, 2011
-- it is their current intention that, if the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional, they will continue to support and adhere to the self-sustaining business model hitherto pursued by the Board of Arsenal;

-- it is their current intention that, if the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional, existing employment rights of the executive management team and the employees of Arsenal will be fully safeguarded, and the current Board of Arsenal will be invited to remain in place, to assist in ensuring future success on and off the pitch; and

-- the Offer will not be funded by way of any debt finance (banks loans, payment in kind loans or other debt or quasi-debt interest bearing obligations) for which the payment of interest on, repayment of or security for any liability (contingent or otherwise) will depend on the business of Arsenal.
I dont think much will be changing folks.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (A New Strength, A New Hope). by slimshay(m): 8:58am On Apr 11, 2011
Can anybody please confirm if this was an LBO.

If it is, make no mistake , we are in trouble.

@4ller, I dont think you know what you are talking about. Kroenke is no sugardaddy, he is an out and out businness man withy other sports franchise, thinking he will now start shelling money on Arsenal and demanding results accordingly is a fallacy.

However from the little I know, Americans build sports franchise not based on tradition but on on-field success. I guess our policy will have to change a bit. We will have to start winning on the pitch smiley. But where the problem arises is this:  huh

1. Kroenke is not known to be a gsugar daddy,  undecided
2. Arsenal is still not an extravagant club undecided
3. The EPL is still largely a spend-to-win league but from the 2 points above we still wont be shelling out. undecided
4. If we go against our nature and the result is still not instantenous, God help us. Americans are not known to be patient.


Doky, you know I am not okay grin. Just stop drug-abusing vitamin c.  tongue At least you will manage to see what Cesc does for the team. grin

Oh btw, he has one shikini FAcup for his troubles. wink grin
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (A New Strength, A New Hope). by slimshay(m): 9:39pm On Apr 10, 2011
Yeah so appaling he released Theo for the 3rd goal wink with one deft flick I might add.

Docky maybe we should just put 11 Songs on the pitch eh wink grin

Maybe they will do no wrong. Abi you don't know even the dependable Song has 'cost' us points this season?

Remove your catalan hating specs bros. We have one catalan, and IMO he's damn good pick in the bunch.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (A New Strength, A New Hope). by slimshay(m): 9:24pm On Apr 10, 2011
Muki see you. In the run up to our closest sniff at the championship you want the player who has created the most chances in the entire europe to get injured so you can show us our hypocrisy? There's an english word for that, I can't seem to locate it now. . . .

Docky pocket that scapegoat talk, save it for those who employ it. If simply applauding Cesc for reaching 300 games for Arsenal has got you in a bunch like this, what would you do if I told you he's had a hand in about 1/3 of the goals those matches have brought. . . . . . .calm down calm down alagba, I just said that one, but don't lie, you actually thought it was true. And it just might be.

Oya start stoning him again.

Dudu one might not know the full details of these things, but there have been strong rumors that Danny Fizsman has been terminally ill for quite a while now.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (A New Strength, A New Hope). by slimshay(m): 8:31pm On Apr 10, 2011
Docky abeg self medicate on some tylenol. Wankin gini? Cesc Fabregas has constantly performed for Arsenal. This season alone he has come off the bench to save the game a number of times, as far these statements go. Let's not begin to mention his contributions over the seasons.

There is no player in Arsenal currently that can do what he does the way he does it. We can keep mentioning fighting spirit all we want, as if dem be masquerades grin, the numbers don't lie.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (A New Strength, A New Hope). by slimshay(m): 6:52pm On Apr 10, 2011
Doky abegi, honour to whom it is due. 300games and counting, give the boy his due.

And where did his leg give way to? He ran our show until he was subbed. Simples.

Debo, careful what thou dost wish for. Who will provide us with entertainment from upstairs when P-2-D-H-5-Wizzle is removed. Abegoooo.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (A New Strength, A New Hope). by slimshay(m): 5:32pm On Apr 10, 2011
Cesc played made his 300th appearance for Arsenal today. I can but only say:

THERE IS ONE CESC FABREGAS!!!

In other news, the American is about to cross the 30% barrier. What are the ramifications of that.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (A New Strength, A New Hope). by slimshay(m): 3:57pm On Apr 10, 2011
Some people just like nodding brickwalls.

Back to winning ways. cool

Proudly, how many points have keepers won for us? Seriously? Off the top of my head Fabiansky won us 6points against Wolves and ManCity. Cliched statements don't make proper points.

This season IMO the only keeper on our tab that Schwazer has been better than is Almunia. Seriously folks, Schwazer? I thot the issue was 'world class'. The only reason anybody even remembers him is because we've now got Almunia in goal.

Anyhoos, Song missing this weekend is downing my spirit. We haven't won any premiership game without Song this season. However we've managed to buck so many positive trends this season it can sink a ship. Its time to start bucking the negative ones.

RED N WHITE!!!
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (A New Strength, A New Hope). by slimshay(m): 5:59pm On Apr 08, 2011
Schwazer? Schwazeeerhuh As in seriously Scwhazer?!!! I'm sorry but failing to get schwazer does not make anybody's point. Yes we wanted him, well we also wanted Felipe Melo. So how's that working for them now? I remember carlo Garganese. throwing e-jizz all over goal.com when Juve stole the Melo deal. Let's talk about the £20m Wilson said liverpool rejected for Reina. Not all this extra one pound Arsene Wenger is presumably hoarding under the boarding of his bedroom.

I repeat IMO nobody knows EXACTLY why we are where we are. All pointers say we shouldn't. Another information for a bit of perspective:

At this point in the invincible season, we had scored just one goal extra!! And by all accounts those were the top drawer dog bollocks quality!

People should desist from turning postulations into gospel truths.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (A New Strength, A New Hope). by slimshay(m): 3:30pm On Apr 08, 2011
Reports reaching our reporting reporter suggests today's press conference was quite the shyte storm. . .sori event. . . .more info as we can make them up. Arsene toh baaadt oh!! Lmao!!

If we no win for pitch, we sha suppose win for our press room. Abi?!
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (A New Strength, A New Hope). by slimshay(m): 12:45pm On Apr 08, 2011
IMO, any writer that uses statements like 'Splash the Cash' does not know wtf he's talking about. . . simples. tongue

New players, new mindset er. . . .I coulda sworn we bought 3. Well wtf do I know? undecided

And no we dont sign youngsters into our first team anymore. People need education. The last youngster that was bought to enter into our first team was one Aaron Ramsey way back in 2008.

Music/RadioRe: Eedris Abdulkareem, A Super Lyricist And Rap Vet by slimshay(m): 5:53pm On Apr 06, 2011
Eedris is not near a good lyricist. He's however an excellent entertainer. If people wanna give folks like Dbanj a pass for that, then I'll extend the same courtesy to him.

However IMO Eedris' biggest contribution to the music scene, is that people like DBanj can sing something like 'I make 10million in a week' and folks almost believe.

Like someone said, he became the scapegoat for more respect to the naija artiste. Ori ti won fi fo agbon.

I remember when 2shotz was bragging about 'making 100grand per show' . . . .how times have changed.

I have never in my shorts years in dis life encountered as many Arsenal fans who glory in being able to say I told you so.

What you want? A cookie?
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (A New Strength, A New Hope). by slimshay(m): 6:47pm On Apr 03, 2011
DK stop being ingenious, we also had more players going out than our rivals. Anyways that a side attraction to the matter at hand.

Sometimes it could be hard to determine exactly what is wrong. Take a look at this factual statement from Orbinho, and someone please explain why we are still adrift at the moment.

'Would you believe Arsenal have had more shots, a better shooting accuracy and allowed the opposition fewer shots on target than Man Utd?'

Bam, my bad. I thot you inferred that. However I don't think anyone has labelled him wack, except Mobinga, but we all sabi Mobinga nah. wink I just had to lmao when that boy tried to sell us Snipe like Wesley. wink

The other side of your argument is I refuse to accept people saying freestyles aint important just cos folks like MI aint that good at it. How can freestyles become unimportant in a culture that it practically gave birth to.

Freestyles are not only off the cuff. Yet to be published lines can be plugged in here and there, its not a problem e.g. Jay did it with those 'I aint talking about Jimmy-Dame' lines. Like I said before, entirely off the cuff lines are another level. E.g. Supernatural.

Asides getting you respect for your skills, rating on freestyle sessions shows you have been working. Only people without those skills or required lines in reserve can't freestyle.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (A New Strength, A New Hope). by slimshay(m): 11:17pm On Mar 27, 2011
Doki, correct man, me don see dat dream tey tey na. wink

Seriosly tho I read another stat that keeps baffling me: Arsenal have allowed the lowest number of shots against in the league. We shouldn't be where we are now. Its really hard placing where the problem is with the numbers always seeming to be in our favor.

@Debo, we have not won any match in the EPL when Song didn't play, quite scary IMO, we NEED him back asap.

9 matches, I'm forward looking mehn.

Kushe you make some good points but sadly that horse has been beaten, drawn, quartered and boiled in oil. Hence I'll leave it to rest.

The crux of the matter is this, MI messed up a freestyle session. The defense is that 'So what? Freestyling isn't all that'

For the avoidance of doubt I repeat just as some knowledgeable people than myself on here have said: FREESTYLING IS A VERY IMPORTANT ASPECT OF HIPHOP.

Giving 2pac as an example to the contrary is quite the fallacy. I'll leave it at that, because even my person sef talk am. Bam whaitido man wink
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (A New Strength, A New Hope). by slimshay(m): 6:23pm On Mar 26, 2011
Debo eh ehn, is that so, so you sef dey play monkey post?  shocked And I been dey think say you dey do intern for MOTD, the way you dey analyse so? grin

Biolabee I think we will still turn a profit at the end of the year. The loss of 2.5m at half year has already factored in our lack of big sale which usually was a good source of profit. Guess what I'm saying is from thereon it can only be upward until the account is rendered year end.

I'll let Debo and Dudu do justice tho . . . .as Hannie and Jydo don bury the hatchet, we must get another topic to talk about nah. undecided

Erm . . .meanhwile @Muki, your name was mentioned in a sentence that had to do with some undergees going on around here. As old mama for here, abeg clear the air oh! grin
