@ Dudu
Arsene didn't make a call on Gallas - he refused to give him 2 years, and that is a completely different proposition to letting Silvestre go because you know he's useless.
Gallas was injured in every single season for us, so again, injury had nothing to do with the situation. This was PURELY a stubborn use of the over 30 rule, even when time and time again it's been shown to be flawed in it's application.
Debo, even though I acknowledge a dearth of realiable info, but the general report tended towards the fact that Arsenal actually offred Gallas a 2 year deal but witha substantial pay-cut.

Okay here we go again again. . . . . .its early morning and the meds are yet to kick in.  wink

Season Silly: Epiosde 243. I'm Gunner Be A Keeper, The Love Triangle.

Once again, reports reaching us suggests thaat a menage-a-serious-trois is now in the making. Friedel will go to Fulham, Schwazer will come to Arsenal (forget all that nonsense Sparky is saying), and this is the gen gen scene, hold on to your seats people. . . . . .Alumuni will go to Aston Villa. .  . .oya po-pop-po-pop pop champgne!!!!! As if.

Sincerely this eposide looks only interesting except that I'm not sure anybody wants Aluminia, but then again, didnt baba Ijebu buy Slyvestre? And werent everybody here dancing Makossa. . . . .*takes cover from Debo and Doctor Kit*.  Na Dudu talk am no be me oh!!!

Anyways our question for the day: How come Cesc is short for Sunday, but could start yesterday. . .  .*scratching bia bia seriously*.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by slimshay(m): 5:47pm On Aug 11, 2010
Why are we debating a player evryone is happy has left.
The important thing is to bring in an able defender.
More important is that we refine our approach to defense.
We had to good defensive combo in gallas and verm last season yet we conceeded enough. The whole team needs to be more defensively awarem what worries me however is that by what I've seen pre-season we are yet to achieve that.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by slimshay(m): 3:22pm On Aug 11, 2010
Once again our reporting reporters have provided another scoop. The scummies have signed Mesut Ozil. Now DK and Suara have a common ground for their bromance.

However the report of our reporting reporters also reported just yesterday that Barceloaner had signed this same Mesut Ozil. And would give him plus cash for Fab next season. That is if Arsenal arent already relegated by January according to Barceloaner's chief gene-ologist Xavi.

There really must be something wrong with our reporters. Oh wtf!!!!  this is Silly Season. . . . . .anything can happen, say what, say what!!!!
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by slimshay(m): 3:11pm On Aug 11, 2010
I dunno what Ferguson has to do with it anyways but Sylvestre was jejely going to Sunderland before Baba Ijebu saw a good bargain grin.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by slimshay(m): 2:47pm On Aug 11, 2010
Dudu I beg to differ, before he succumbed to his mandatory injury, Gallas was outstanding. Why else would there be a call to suspend the over-30 rule for him? The issue wasnt about his performances, it probably was to do with contract sums and length of contracts. But then like I said earlier, it seems its Twitchy to the rescue.

Debo there is yet to be a criticism of Spahic except PL experience.

Add Abiodun Baruwa, Peter Rufai, Valderama, Buffon, Casillas and Oliver Kahn. grin
Chei debo has been watching Silly Season for a very very long time. grin

debosky:
Seriously, keeping Gallas would've been a coup for Wenger. Failing to do so is what has put us in this quandary.
To be fair, there is reason we couldnt hold on to Gallas. I dnt claim to know it, but it seems Fernerbache, Panathinaikos, Celtic, Rangers, Totoham and some others we dont also know, have a good idea what it is.

Silly Season: Show me the money, Show me your legs starring Willie G, Arsene Wenger, Ivan Gazidis. . . .Harry 'twitchy b the bitter spud Redknpp as wakapass' !!!

Debo are you questioning the veracity of my reporting reporters, be careful oh angry. grin

You think its just happenstance that world acclaimed 'Silly Season' is the most anticipated, viewed and all encompasing drama on the TV, Newspapers and the ubiquitous www and apparently in the whole wide world. grin

Silly Season: I'm Gunner be a Keeper. Starring so far: Vincent Enyeama, Hugo llrois, Martin Stekelenburg, Akinfeev, Shay Given, Mark Scwazer, Sebastian Frey, Frederico Marchetti. . . . .abeg help me with more actors.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by slimshay(m): 8:09am On Aug 11, 2010
Silly Season Finale drawing closer. Reports reaching our reporting reporters report that Mark Schwazer has handed Sparky a transfer request.

Now this is quite interesting. First time Dayo attempts a rational Arsenal debate it shows how ignorant and unintelligent his inderstanding of the club is. DK please stick to ur one liner 'gaynner' 'wankott' comments.
Your doofusism as it relates to Arsenal is outstanding.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by slimshay(m): 7:54am On Aug 10, 2010
Moderavizzle, I'm sure
You'l be doing the necessary as soon as possible.
Meanwile @Debo,certainly we can't go into the season with just 3 centre backs. Its a matter of numbers now. And Baba ijebu loves his numbers.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by slimshay(m): 10:48pm On Aug 09, 2010
Debo free Dike wit all dis him badstubber nonsense.
Meanwhile we can be certain we'l get a cb. As for keeper, not too sure.
Sumtin tells me we might move for friedel.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by slimshay(m): 8:36pm On Aug 09, 2010
I would av also strongly advocated pressing the ball, but with our injury record it sseems like asking for trouble. On the other hand, it seems we lack defensive discipline. That is not to say it can't be done though. Our last victories against any of the big four both liverpool
n man u came from not being to adventurous(altho not arsenal style) with the ball and being very aware witout itm so much so we played liveerpool an entire 45min witout giving them any shot on goal.
In order not to sacrifice our attackin play the key will be how quick we can switch from attack to an effective defensive formation.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by slimshay(m): 5:23pm On Aug 09, 2010
Debo I disagree with your disagree grin, Werent Gallas and Verm doing exactly the same thing you described there. Didnt we ships oodles of goals last year? Verm attacks the ball, Gallas mops up. The problem is one when the backline pushes so far up and it is put behind you the division of labor is out the window.

Same thing on the wings, the moment the ball gets behind Clichy or Sagna we have a situation where both our opponents and our defenders are  FACING OUR POST!!! No prizes for guessing who has the advantage.

Which brings me to my third point. If we insist on playing the high defensive line, our attackers and midfielders will require serious defensive discipline when we are off the ball. Our off the ball movement in attack is excellent. Our off the ball movement in defense is crap!!! Whether its positional awareness or just going clockwork bunny like the Cuntalans. It is very important we reduce the opponent's options when they manage to see the ball.

Its is not the defenders, it is the entire team's defensive strategy!!!
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by slimshay(m): 1:53pm On Aug 09, 2010
Debo, wha can I say. . . .I've got an 'S' on my chest.

Actually I'm jus trying to be brave man. The alternative is me going Doctor Kit on all ya'll? Doctor I come in piss. . .sorry peace oh!!! grin

I think it was proudly9ja that said it, I've come to realise its not really the personnel, its our team defending that is the problem. Jus saw the goals and the first sight I saw was a guy going through 3 of our players very close to the touchline!!! shocked shocked shocked Three!!!! shocked shocked Remember Nani at the Emirates?!!

The defenders are not the problem, the problem is our defensive style. Do we press the ball, do we defend deep, we have not even perfected the defensive highline we have adopted. We are totally sacrificing defense for an all out attack play. Hence our players are becoming less and less defense minded.

All that said, we conceed 2, we score 3. . . .we conceed 5, we score 6. . . .I aint worried!!!! grin grin grin
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by slimshay(m): 12:46pm On Aug 09, 2010

[/quote]If you say so bro. . . .but at this point in time, we need our captain to come out and draw a line under these stories. With roughly 10 days before our first game of the season, we need to be seen to be pulling in the same direction.[quote]
Even though Im certain Fab wont be going anywhere this season, I will agree with Debo. Although he was clearly well recieved yesterday, fans are not professional: they are ruled by emotions. One or two choice words wont be amiss.

Game over - defence was at sea for a while - mostly due to Gibbs being too forward.

That said, it's still pre-season, no need to over analyse things.
I saw that too.

All in all good showing by the boys. Theo was looking to run riot, but still needs work on his service. Nasri must certainly feel he has a point to prove.

Emirates Cup remains in its natural home. So does this mean the Celtic beef is over? grin
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by slimshay(m): 9:37am On Aug 01, 2010
My people. . . . . .long time no football.

Green Gooner, way to go man!!! meanwhile wassup with the blog man. Since you left the former platform Ive not been able to even come across. Id like to revive the game preview. Drop me a line when you are set.

Good game yesterday. Frimpong was my man of the match, ok maybe man of second half. Arshavin no need smile smiley let him just be putting in work like he did yesterday. Djourou is no more a DM. Theo Walcott should still remain on the wings, wasnt exactly effective in his 15mins in the centre. Koseniyan the Kokomaster is better than people want us to believe. Good ball player finds his man perfectly weighted passes. And he's got a leap alright.

CHAMACKATTACK!!! Dude was everywhere chasing down, lovely link up play.

How is it that some things dont change, pre season friendly against a team from another country yet the situtaion looks so familiar: an EPL referee makes a wrong call which leads to a set piece into our box which three of our defenders cant get to and neither can our keeper which leads to a goal. We need to sort this thing out. There is no managing it anymore. It needs to be sorted. Defend defend defend.

Come on the Arsenal!!!

As for the antics of Puyol and Pique - if wearing a man's trousers doesn't make a lady grow a ding dong, wearing a Barca jersey cannot make Cesc a Barcelona player. cool
Come to think of it, almost evrybody at their helm of affairs have female names. . . .Joan La porta, Trixie Bergstain, now it is Sandra Rosell. . . .definitely there is more than meet the eye in Camp No?!!!
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by slimshay(m): 1:40pm On Jul 13, 2010
Debo for the love of God nobody expects the Polish guy in post this season, not even next season so ease up on him abeg, we have a good keeper in the making, abeg no murder him career for NL before he even start oh, . . . Not evrybody can be the 'exceptional' Joe Hart. Who by the way was also in the league one you are dismissing before moving to City and then getting edged out once Given came in.

The fact you are not clearly exceptional at age grade and low levels doesnt mean to you wont eventually come through. Barca thought Cesc was a spare tire, who was after Xavi who was after Deco, now they are shitting themsleves trying to get his signature.

And for all these idiots w@nkers from Catalunya. . . . . .keep to yourselves!!!

DK at least once in a while, say something different. Thank God for internet, In the real world when someone repeats the same thing all the time, na Yaba left oh!!!!
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by slimshay(m): 1:50pm On Jul 10, 2010
Debosky I dont think anybody even expects that he'd be number 1 even next season, at least I dont, I'm looking at 2 seasons before he steps in. BUt to say he's not shown any reason why he could end up number 1? Haba Debo, even I could tell at pre season last year.

True that he might be too young and all that but then Casillas is not going to remain the only keeper to ever make the first team at under 20. Anyways like I said he needs to develop even more. That is why a stop gap is needed. Sad that current climate as regards our defence is saying different. Im glad its Wenger's job to make the decision.

Any hoo, the buy back thing seems like a good option until we do and then DNAs, hearts and Xavi-likes enters the equation.

Nobody will be 'Joe Harting' if he hadnt gone on loan to Birmingham. If Fabianski goes on loan in similar fashion I believe the results will be the same.

But for now, we need a keeper better than Almunia or perhaps a better Almunia undecided.

Arjen Robben (Netherlands)
Very good pace and dribbling skills, wonderful ability to cut inside from the right, effective to his team


DK would you shut it, plus whoever said this nonsense. Robben is zero help to his team. He's a whole lotta help to himself. His first goal in the tournament came courtsey of a VP dummy run. He only cuts in when he wants to shoot at goal.

Sneijder deserves to be there but he had better grow up and start passing the ball to his number 9. DK's mumurity makes him continue labelling VP a world cup flop, yet he has made more passes to his midfielders than they have made to him combined, and he's meant to be the top striker.

Unto things Arsenal, I see a lotta people slating Fabianski, I will say it agin, Fabianski is quality, he is not a number 2 keeper cos he gets too cold on the bench. He needs an extended run of games to improve his temperament. Sadly we cant afford it. But again FABIANSKI is a quality goal keeper. Arsenal and England legend David Seaman agrees with me.

The main reason we will be going for Schwazer is cos he has to make way in a short time to allow Szcezesny come in. Not necessarily cos he's better than Almunia. Where was Schwazer two seasons ago when folks were campaigning to get Almunia an English passport? Schwazer in all honesty is on the down. But sadly so has been Almunia.

DK what is the difference betwen you and Domenech now.

Anywyas since u seem to believe all he bullshit. . .let me give you good news. . . .



1. Brazil won the World Cup in 1994; before that they also won in 1970. Adding1970 + 1994= 3964

2. Argentina won its last World Cup in 1986; before that they also won in 1978. Adding 1978 + 1986= 3964

3. Germany won its last World Cup in 1990; before that they also won in 1974. Adding 1974 + 1990= 3964

4. Brazil also won the World Cup in 2002; before that they also won in 1962. Adding 1962+ 2002= 3964

5. Therefore if you want to know what nation is going to win the World Cup in 2010, you only have to subtract 2010 from the magic number that we have determined: 3964.

3964 minus 2010 = 1954. . .

In 1954 the World Cup was won by Germany!!!



Oya DK start to dey dance alanta!!!! grin grin grin
