And we got done about 7-1, after being 2-1 down and essentially matching them at halftime.
Horrible stuff.

u remember the story about my former classmate who is the girlfriend of roman weidenfeller now?
she used to be that little, no boobs girl with glasses.
Legs of the forever.
Oh man. :lol
Indeed. You must be pretty dedicated that you're insistent on playing with all the work you've had done on your legs.
Surprising after we rejected Mansion for AIG. Also amazing how many football sponsorship Emirates have now, Arsenal, PSG, Milan and Madrid.

No, you don't want to go down that road. You're rich, but that doesn't mean you should be daft.
It's the one bit of genuinely difficult exercise I do all week. And we don't usually get stuffed. Just crumbled in the last 15 minutes tonight.
Like it's his decision to make, for fuck's sake. He's paid stupid amounts of money to perform on the pitch. It's not his place to determine if the club's ambitions are up to snuff. If you want to move on to win trophies, then do it without being a

Also according to SKY or Kicker (not sure anymore) Elia wants to go to Bremen (he's supposedly in Bremen right now), but they just want to loan him (they be poor atm) while Juve wants a complete transfer for 7m.
Really not worth dissolving anything resembling a wage structure so that you can massively overpay a knees-held-together-with-string striker.
And RVP isn't Henry. If Henry was stood on the halfway line, you knew that he could get the ball and massacre anybody in the way before humiliating the keeper. RVP hasn't got that intimidation factor. Not even close. There have been some genuinely godlike players at Arsenal - if you're going to panic and hurl all your money at someone, you should think first about how they measure up against someone like Thierry or Denis. And RVP doesn't come up to their knees. "Marquee player" is some bullshit.
And if Usmanov is that rattled by losing him, then he must overrate him on a manic level.

If by amazing you mean soul destroying then I agree.

Below average player, rarely played more than 10 games a season for the past 3 years.

Don't worry. You've got Pogba.
Salazar: I remember getting a spanking like that in youth football. Wasn't capable of not blazing out in a rage of red card glory. And I didn't have a sliver of the injuries you have. That's some real fortitude.
Nice. Hopefully next season AVB will be picking from Kaboul, Vertonghen, Dawson and Caulker with Gallas the old fart who steps in now and then. That's a great selection of CBs.

Wow Veratti has gone to PSG? Is that confirmed? Pretty amazing.
Money+Ancelotti. I'm not sure this is what Verratti actually really want, but the diffence in money is so big that is impossible for Pescara to say no.

The situation involving RVP arguably began with the Champions League final loss in 2006 when there was uncertainty whether or not our greatest player ever, Henry, would choose to stay. It marked a season of disappointment and muted realisation that we may be headed for decline as we witnessed the financial powerhouses redesign the transfer market. This speculation, I might remind you, was just 12 months after the Invincibles. Although Henry chose to stay, he would leave the season after for the same reason; the coach could not foresee a title-winning side with his then current crop for another few years; he was told to wait. He could not, and realising his next contract would arguably be his last long one at the top level of the game, he finally opted to join Barcelona. A key note to this is that Henry finally achieved European success, winning the Champions League amongst six other titles in just two years.
At this period, Chelsea, with their new finances, and Man Utd were dominating the league and we were all told that this Arsenal side would come good in a few years. And we came close a few times but ultimately our fragilities couldnt be addressed because of the lack of money. During this time, we lost Hleb, Flamini and Adebayor. Then we lost Fabregas, Clichy and Nasri. Since then they've not only won more titles in their first year than they had at their Arsenal career, but in 12 months won the title that had alluded us for half a decade. Poignant
In this same period, RVP was the difference between a horrid season and Champions League qualification - by the skin of our teeth as it happened to be. So as he himself now comes to the last big contrast at the top level, at the age of 29, why should he - effectively - throw away his talent in another hopeful attempt to drag the club over the 4th place finishing line whilst rivals continue to strengthen and continue to reap success? How egotistical and delusional do you must be to expect loyalty in this context? The truth of the matter is, there is no guarantee that we'd even qualify for the Champions League with him in our side, the bigger cause for concern is deeper and sparser. The questions should be directed towards the board, not the player, he has waited enough. He has said what we all knew.
There must be new doubts now about the others i.e. Song and Wilshere because another disappointing season and its almost for certain they'll start to think seriously about leaving as well. And who could blame them? This is a club without direction, losing its best every year; regressing every year. You couldn't pay any amount of wages to heal this and I think its time everyone involved with the club to have some frank conversations

Michael Bradley signing for Roma! Good step up for him. Bummer they just barely missed out on Uefa cup qualifying. Would be fun to play against them, especially if we did end up signing Dempsey.
Also, we are playing against Roma, in the States during the pre-season. But friendlies don't count

I won't mind a straight swap deal
u so crazy
(edit: not sure how Tevez fits here, but I don't care)
This sounds like it was written in October 2011.
Arsenal finished 3rd in the Premier League. You've bought two class players already, and will no doubt bring in M'Vila, as well as either a new keeper or a defender. That's excellent business in the transfer window. And you have spent modest sums of money in the process.
In my mind there's no doubt Arsenal, should they keep Van Persie, would challenge for the title next season. Van Persie wants the obscene though, he wants guarantees. How can you guarantee a Premier League title, unless you're City and you can spunk away money?
This whole doom and gloom posturing from certain Arsenal fans is ridiculous, your club's going in a healthy direction (unlike United), you're making some very good signings (unlike many teams), and you were the third best team in the league last season.
RVP is being a classless JT here, no two ways about it, it's his job to score goals, and if he'd shut up and do that Arsenal might well have a chance of winning something next season. He's also showing a lot of disrespect for his teammates who created a good chunk of his goals, Song in particular.
Tottenham will win the league. Their signings are insane. Damn you, London.
I know!
Will be a sold out stadium for sure, an evening-match vs Ajax, I bet some people are already at the ticketshop with their sleepingbag. ;-)

I wonder if you can stand up with your knees constantly jerking back and forth. Or, is that how you walk?
If only they had Mike Williamson.
The good news keeps rolling in, so much more to come.
Makes me sick.
Such an awesome concept. I love it.
Pretty cool. At first, just looking at the picture I thought as they sweat, the white would turn red. Still an interesting idea, be pretty terrible if it fails and they are walking around with 2 red hoops and the rest white.
Fucking magical.
But don't get any ideas FSG.
Guy's don't be dismayed by the Spurs good news, they've signed Andre Vilas-Boas as 'head coach'.
