Lol pardon me i was not trying to hook them up naah was just telling him about the other female gunners.You sef play your part and hold on to your man

kay_pumpin:

i never opined that Song should play @ the RB,for me dude shldnt be anywhere in the back 4.Since Toure,Sagna,Eboue is out,den Gallas should play RB and Silvestre/Djourou CB is it!Imagine how our beloved team's selection has now turned to a puzzle game sad

We have major problem in major dept of the team for sat's match i.e Defence and midfield and the bridge's battle is  barely over a week away!

Oh God,to thy hand i commiteth my beloveth team!
I didn't say you did i am saying that is what Arsene might be thinking i think your formation is a good one i don't know if Arsene would utilize it though this issue just shows how we lack strength in depth Chelsea have 4 or 5 world class players injured and they are not panicking i don't know where Baba got it all wrong he should make comparisons with this team and the one of 04 and even 05 and see that we have downgraded

Kay-pumpin

worry less . . .que sera sera cool

did you say Silvestre with Djorou at CB ? DOESNT THAT SMELL LIKE CALAMITY IS BREWING ?

the problem is Silvestre is just not good enough to be playing CB for us . . .why I say this is; HE NEVER TAKES CHARGE OF PROCEEDINGS ! and Djorou still needs someone experienced to play along with in games like this; imagine Robinho faced with Silvestre ? undecided not that I am scared but I just hate to see my defenders displaying ineptitude as exemplified by CLICHY last week cry

abeg no vex . . .the connection thingy just pissed me off jare

as per fine girls, I am cock-sure we have 'em more in our camps  . . .ITS ALL ABOUT CLASS  cool

@Dark_rxn

as your ladyship pleases  kiss

and stop worrying about anyone snatching me from you  wink




Well if Djourou doesnt play CB he will definately be drafted to the RB and with that we av succeeded in blowing any trait of creativity left in that flank of team away.I mean no Walcott,No Eboue,no Sagna,who will create anything @ that side then.Things just seem to be getting from bad to worse.

Per Clichy,i do not agree he was inept last week.The build up showed more of Gallas unwarranted blunder if you have the gut to watch the match again.The same thing he did in the match against em scummies and he was fortuitous that the ball just didnt shake the net but went outside for corner.Even if Clichy had missed the ball on saturday, a villan would still have scored.He was left with little or no option!

I think the whole team needs a haul.a bit of check and balance here and there,and self examination!

As you said ,whatever will be,will be.At least i know a team that did not win EPL for 50 good years and their fans did not die!
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by DrKitaun(m): 2:07am On Nov 21, 2008

That goal was due to Sagna's injury Gallas was covering his wing hence Clichy who is vertically challenged was stuck with Agbonlahor and had to make an unforced error lol or maybe it was forced sef simple truth is our midfield was shyte on the day and the defence could only do so much

@Dr Kit
Lol na so, yahoo IM sucks sef.I have given him two classy places he would meet gunner chics and not all those omo-alatas he is meeting in different places that ask him to buy an Arsenal jersey for them

Clichy and Sagna have been disappointing to be honest Clichy seems to lose concentration too much lately
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by kaypumpin2(m): 2:18am On Nov 21, 2008
Clichy was just infected with the insipid and lethargic syndrome in the team on the day,'t was unlike him really!

Losing conc in most matches by him is due to his over-zealous nature.He just wants to be everywhere @ a time cos hes passionate.If he can infect half of the team with the same drive and passion he displays 85% of the time,we may be a step higher on the league table.

The only consistent thing about Arsenal now is their inconsistency and Arsene's bottle breaking art! grin

When you don't fortify your squad so you would have some peace of mind what do you expect?i always said it that Arsene is the architect of his misfortune when you sell three DMF's and refuse to bring in a single replacement this is what your ass would get i think Arsenal fans have been really patient we do need to start winning trophies quickly or Arsene's policy would have been an exercise in futility.Its too late to cry now though lets back this team and support them till the wheels fall off

The condiments for perdition are all ready! An uncouthed skipper,indiscplined follower,injury to major player,off-form of the heart beat of the team et al.When Cesc was sayin it never rained,it poured yesterday,it never really sank in until Bullie Billie let slip of the restiveness in the dressing room.It will be eskimoic in hell if we survive this.

I don't want to sound extreme but i think Arsene is the first man to blame for letting this condition thrive when you give the armband to someone that is not a symbol or soul of the club its hard for him to get respect from fellow players this bullshit didn't happen when Tony Adams or Paddy V was captain Henry sucked as captain but we fared much better our dressing room mess was not all in the press after every other loss

Welcome back bro.its so nice to have you back. before you ever get to it like I know you would some day, I just gotta put my hands up and admit you were right all this while even before the season started about our chances of winning some stuff. not that the writting wasnt on the wall though but we just sought of hoped the club could still pull off some surprise with the bunch of no gooders AW has assembled.Well it arnt gonna work it seems. I dare say even a fourth place finish is looking like a daunting task right now giving all the divide in our camp at the moment.

On a more serious note dont ever do an 'andrew' on us here again ok? we all missed ya like mad. Cheers man. wink

Premier League - Gallas: Arsenal in civil war
Eurosport - Fri, 21 Nov 07:57:00 2008

Arsenal captain William Gallas has revealed serious disunity within the squad and said that the team are not brave enough to win the Premier League title.

More StoriesParker: Time to end Gallas captaincy
FA to award Walcott compensation
Gallas: I flipped my lid
In a frank interview Gallas took the rare step of going public with his frustration at a series of bust-ups within the Emirates Stadium dressing-room.

The Frenchman said that a team-mate had insulted him during a match and he did not want to take the blame for the constant friction at Arsenal.

"When, as captain, some players come up to you and talk to you about a player , complaining about him , and then during the match you speak to this player and the player in question insults us," Gallas told AP.

"There comes a time where we can no longer comprehend how this can happen.

"I am trying to defend myself a bit without giving names. Otherwise I'm taking it all (the blame). It's very frustrating," he said.

"I'm 31, the player is six years younger than me." The 25-year-olds in the Arsenal squad are Robin van Persie, Emmanuel Eboue, Bacary Sagna and Eduardo da Silva, who has been out injured since February.

Another incident occurred during the recent 4-4 draw at home to North London rivals Tottenham, in which Arsenal surrendered a two-goal lead in the dying minutes.

Gallas said that divisions in the squad could damage their quest for silverware.

"There was a problem at halftime. The only thing that I could say at halftime was 'Guys, we resolve these problems after the match, not at half-time.'

"We have to understand that to be champions, you have to play big matches every weekend and fight. We are coming up against teams who are not scared to play football against us, who are not scared to take us on at our place, and this is becoming dangerous for Arsenal.

"We are not brave enough in battle. I think we need to be soldiers. We have to be warriors. There are teams who can do it well against us, and we have to be able to face up to these attacks."

He said that Arsenal lost 2-0 at home to Aston Villa last Saturday, a week after beating Manchester United, because they did not play as a team.

"Maybe, against Manchester, it was the whole team that fought for victory," Gallas said.

"But when you stop fighting together, there comes a time when the midfield will sink, the defenders, unfortunately, can also sink. That's what happened against Villa."

Gallas's captaincy has come under fire since his furious 'sit-in' on the pitch at St. Andrew's after last season's 2-2 draw against Birmingham City.

His latest comments will embarrass manager Arsene Wenger and do little to endear him to his team-mates, who may be surprised that their skipper has chosen to share dressing-room secrets while attempting - by his own admission - to deflect blame away from himself.

if this story is true(doubt it isn't) then he should be stripped of the captaincy immediately. still think fab4 shld get it. yes he's been poor but i think the captain's armband would invigorate him besides atleast he has the sense to keep his trap shut
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by mukina2: 11:24am On Nov 21, 2008

Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by MrCrackles(m): 11:30am On Nov 21, 2008
Me just think "Cry Baby Gallas" should be stripped of the captaincy to be honest

Fair enough a leader can voice concerns about issues he his not happy with but the way Gallas has conducted himself since the start of his captainship has been atrocious and un-impressive.

We need someone who would command respect in the dressing room, a likeable character, a vocal personnel and figher who would get going even if defeated!

It is a shame since Tony Adams and Patty Vieira left, we aint really had someone who could have stepped into their mould

Matthew Upson was someone i was hoping would have been an ideal understudy to Vieira then, but bloody Wenger sold him, and that was one hell of a wrong decision at that time

The question now is who is capable in the team? AND FOR ME IT IS ONLY KOLO TOURE WHO IS HALF CAPABLE, i think he has it and he can be better than Gallas

Guys, I fear gallas has the mad cow disease. shocked shocked that has to be the only logical explaination for his unstable behaviour of late. How can you explain the fact that the dust has hardly settled over his going public with the rifts in our dressing room than he goes and releases his autobiography dissing the younger players in france Euro 2008 squard for being disrespectful and full of 'emselves. If he has so much difficulty letting peeps younger than him be, why did he let himself grow old then. tongue tongue.

For crying out loud, he wasnt the oldest player in their Euro 08 squard.so why take it upon himself to act the tough head teacher and scold 'em youngsters.That guy ought to be on a leash for his own good. enough said.

hmnn . . .

so Seun decided to release this handle for me  shocked see me see trial and error  grin

Times have changed !!!  cool

this place has suddenly lost its glory  cry what with vermins, roaches and cretinous elements roaming unmitigatedly in sacred zones  sad

the people that made here tick can't even record 10 pages in almost a week of splitting, moving and whatever was done to our fave threads  embarassed

so sad . . . cry

I left some months ago when Seun banned me from posting for calling Folahann his specal delegate an idiot for absofuckinglutely displaying inept cronyism . . .why would Seun wante to use us to drive traffic to his site by force ? how can any sane mind expect a thread to be created for every match played in the EPL ? what if the Nazis and the Azzuris now start their own thread madness . . what would that exemplify ?  undecided

I had several IMs where questions where being asked me on my absence . . .where my best buddies AKOLAWOLE, LOYIKA, BOLAONI, LE CHAC, DEBOSKY, RIKKYJEN AND WORMY not forgetting a few others, asked what a gwan  . . .yes thats how we roll ! despite club sentiments we still remain tight because WE MADE NL WHAT IT IS TODAY . . .definitely not forgetting you JUSTKUNMI, NAZIKANU, MUKINA, VIEIRA, PATAKI, BAGOMA and CABALI  wink

Its good to see how HNIC, A-40, ELDEE, RASPUTINN, CESC have held the forte for the gunners . . .CRISTALZ and TKB419 for the scummies . . .NATEEVS, SOMZE and IBIME for the chavs . . . NAZIKANU for the NAZIS . . . .isnt interesting that Dayokanu was co-opted into the Elders' council of the Sports section by my humble self, he now introduced TKB419 to NLAND and yet TKB has the gumption to insult him . . .na wao . . . tongue

all in all . . .I missed y'all  kiss I wonder if I can get back the oldies so we can make this place as tick as it used to be, my concern would be how much time get to spend online  undecided  cry

So because Gallas(my favourite Gooner) spoke "truth to power", una begin hate on the great fella

What you are seeing is merely the fallout of a deeper problem;Arsenal's underachievement over the past few years. If any major club was undergoing a similar thing,its captain will also bleat publicly,remember Keane in 2005?

Wenger has recruited a crop of youngsters who, partly because of their youth, don't feel as much pressure, compared to Utd or Chelsea,to deliver trophies. Gallas is merely pointing out the obvious.

Man Servant undecided

I disagree a bit, no one has problems with what Gallas has to say, we have problems in the way he goes about opening his Gob tongue tongue

TH14 was also an emotional person, BUT YOU HARDLY FLIPPING HEARD HIM CRITICISE HIS PLAYERS IN PUBLIC DID YOU

Gallas is too emotional and childish to have been given such a role, and this only points to Arsene's Tribal sentiments in the way he disposed of Gilberto, and how he has made the back 4 all french, thereby sidelining Kolo for Gallas's chum Silvestre.

If the captaincy isn't taken away from him,  then there will be a rift btw the Frenchies and the other lads, thereby creating a scenario which mirrors what Cashley Cole and Sol Campbell felt towards the end of their stay at Arsenal.

Anyways, i just hope the guys can rally round the new captain (If it happens to be true) and i hope that person is Cesc Fab4 cool (HE WAS BORN READY FOR THE ROLE).

More news;

Could this be our new CEO undecided
