And all ten will be from Frimpong :p

@ Sleel and Dizzy, I thought this was the Arsenal thread?

I honestly can not wait until we play City and Frimpong gets a chance to go up against Nasri. Something tells me he won't be spending a whole lot of time in the middle :lol:

At the atomic level, everything is about Liverpool vs Man U.

Scouses rob houses.

Especially now theres no European football. That must've kept the crime rate down for years!

What else are they going to do in mid-week?

first game against city will be ridiculous. EDIT: arsenal website says dec 17 at eastlands

kinda sad to see how much money talks tho. viera telling nasri arsenal are done come to man city.

arsenal need to get some ex greats back in a similar off field/assistant roles.

The usual stuff. Round your mum's place.

I'm more interested in when we play them at the Grove. The reception Nasri gets there will be less than friendly :lol:

As for ex greats in the back room. The only one I could maybe see coming back at the moment is Keown. TA has said he'd only come back as manager and we've already got Steve Bould, Brady and Pat Rice at the club. People talk about us needing a defensive coach, but a lot of people don't mention or forget that Pat Rice is one of the greatest defenders in the history of the club, and imo it's between him and Dixon as the greatest RB. Maybe that's why we've always had good fullbacks.

One other one that will be back in a few years definitely is Titi.

Samir Nasri in 2010 : "I think we have more merit as a club than those who have built their teams with millions of pounds."
Gael Clichy in 2009 : "If any player Only wants Money , He will go to Manchester City."
Kolo Toure in 2008 : "City may spend a lot , but they will never overtake the Top 4 of the Premiership"



Who will be next?

when i saw this, i was pissed off, and im a united fan.

players have no idea what it means to be a footballer nowdays. to them its all about the money. i had soo much respect for nasri, not so much anymore.

Robin van Persie has played 26 games in 2011 and has scored 22 goals. Just ridiculous.

:p

apparently madrid said no to kaka loan and want 17.5m GBP straight sale.

arsene prob offering a one year contract #-o

i loled at below

I guess it does have top European football being shown there in mid-week. Unlike Anfield.

Sorry, i had been up for like 30 hours when i wrote this.

JENKINSON, but you agree with my opinion on him?

Nope, can't say i thought Frimpong played anything special this game wasn't really in much and got himself a card again for no reason. Song was shit in the first half, but i would say a big part of us turning the game around 2nd half was song stepped up immensely defensively.

Rosicky - Not very fast and in our team thats a big deal, doesn't really pass it as well as an arsenal centre mid should for mine, defensively a bit suspect. He scores some great goals from out the box which we desperately need and thats great, and yes he puts in 100% but for mine doesn't make up for it.

The whole left side was a shambles first half thats where every single one of their chances came from and its not like Udinese were much better on that side, just our left side is defensively suspect. Commentator even agreed not that i'm using him as a reference. Do you refute that?

I know EXACTLY how you feel mate! only thing that could beat this, is when Arsenal finally come down here to play a friendly against SFC to a packed out ANZ stadium. Will it ever happen?

Frimpong wasn't in much because he had to continually cover for Song being a fuckhead.

As for Rosicky not being good enough defensively. He was excellent defensively this morning. Someone has obviously taught him how to tackle over the summer, and it's no surprise that our much improved 2nd half coincided with Rosicky coming on and Song dropping back. The reason Rosicky always gets picked over Arshavin, especially for big games is how much the guy works. He does so much tracking back, and last night it paid off with him making some quite excellent tackles. We would be stupid to sell him imo.

Reports online m'vila offer was accepted though i have no idea how believable they are, but there sure are alot of them flying around all over youtube facebook internet and forums.

Tough Champions League Group, but on the brightside atleast we didn't get the draw Man City got.

GROUP F
Arsenal
Marseille
Olympiacos
Dortmund

Well, top European footballers, anyway. Tell your mum to say hi to Wayne for me.

Anyone else see what Cesc said about the Udinese game :d

:lol: Still an Arsenal boy :P

Honestly I'm actually really happy with it. No trips to Eastern Europe, teams that won't just sit back and shut up shop. Will be some really good games. And the fact that it's not a piss easy group could be good considering how much we like to fuck those up.

You're just pissed off because you can't discuss European Champions League groups. That's alrite, there's a group called the dole queue, I hear you scousers are quite used to it.

He will regret leaving, you just watch :P

Why would we bother discussing the groups when we have all our Euro trophies to look at?

so Bolton have confirmed that they've rejected a bid from us for Gary Cahill. Glad to see there is some movement there.

As opposed to our Premier League and FA cup ones, which are bigger shinier and more golddddddden?

Didn't you guys only offer 6million pounds?

Probably. So many people complaining about it, but when you really think about it an opening bid of 6m for a player in the last year of his contract is not as outrageous as is being made out to be.

thats was a starting bid and was put in before champs league! rumours on twitter that eden hazard has agreed to terms and m'villa has as well
