Fwiw one of the reliable Arsenal ITKs says that his understanding was if RVP left, Arsenal would push for Sahin.
Might be too late but I reckon they could give it one more shot.

I thought if Song left they'd push for Sahin haha?
Regarding RVP, I think Arsenal will be fine. They had the same dependency on him they had on Henry, and they've brought in two proven international players and a league winner who scored a fuckload of goals. I still predict 3rd for Arsenal.

Watching Let's do Lunch with Gino & Mel whilst I oversee arsenal fan meltdowns on twitter.
This is great.
This is great.
Don't you get hungry watching those shows?

Yep.
Not really, by this time of the month im just used to it. I missed a couple of fasts cos I was ill and I hardly ate anything anyway cos I just didn't feel hungry.
Cooking shows are my favourite.
Have mercy on us.
I'm glad we can get the trip to Anfield out of the way quickly.
Holy shit. How times have changed. I remember when we used to try and pretend to compete with United even though we had no chance. I'm not saying United are now pretending to compete with City because they are and always will, but it's still kind of funny to think any United fan is concerned about 'getting one over' 'ickle City.

Btw if any if footy GAF are getting their a-level results today, good luck!
That was a nervous nervous morning.

"Ready steady cook" was brilliant back in the day. Would always watch it after coming home from school.
Lucky bastard. Walked past Chinese and a Dominos on the way to my girlfriends house with a 50% less salt chicken soup and a salad in my bag.
Knackered from getting battered at football. Eating a bounty. Hoping to get through enough work and planning tomorrow that I can relax a bit on the weekend.

Damn, if Sahin also comes to the premier league the amount of talent and quality on display in the league would be mindnumbing.
United, City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs and Liverpool will all have the squad to challenge for the title. Imagine if 4 teams are in with a chance of winning the league going into the final month I can see that happening this year.

Onto the second one? It's even better
If Ferguson wanted Van Persie just to get revenge on Rovers, someone might want to mention to him that they were relegated and are no longer in the Premier League.
Don't think adding one class midfielder increases our chances that much. Like I said people here seem to really be overrating Sahin. Though while I only expect a top 6 finish for us, I do want us to be "in the race" for the title. Need to set the standard high if you ever want to join the people at the top.
Should really eat Bountys more than I do, they're nice snacks.
I'm about to head to the union and partake in a slight newspaper redesign. Can't be fuzzed. There'll be a lot of mindless agreeing, a lot of sugary drinks consumed, and quite a bit of Indesign. Pants.
This Tandoori Hot's going down a treat though, making me pine for a cool Ribena.
I think I'm the first in my family to go uni, but my younger brother's just about to start secondary school so he's got time to beat me.
It means I can't dance
Will probably buy NSMB2 first but will try and find 2 on the cheap. I don't have a backlog at the minute except Skyward Sword and Metroid Prime Trilogy, but I probably won't ever play them. Too time consuming and SS was boring.
Freewheelin hasn't started high school?
This is an illusion. The PL has always had top tier talent but when you look at the winner table:
199293 Manchester United
199394 Manchester United
199495 Blackburn Rovers
199596 Manchester United
199697 Manchester United
199798 Arsenal
199899 Manchester United
19992000 Manchester United
200001 Manchester United
200102 Arsenal
200203 Manchester United
200304 Arsenal
200405 Chelsea
200506 Chelsea
200607 Manchester United
200708 Manchester United
200809 Manchester United
200910 Chelsea
201011 Manchester United
201112 Manchester City
It will be a two horse race yet again this year, City and United. Liverpool and Spurs have never won the PL title and Chelsea/Arsenal are anything but consistent.

Wilbury has a younger brother?
We must stage an intervention.

Teach me, Arnold sensei.
He finished it, failed it, went on to college to do a game design degree, passed it and has now sat on his arse for a year and a half doing fuck all.
Whoa, what happened to all those other years? I guess since it's not in this quote they weren't important and nothing good happened (otherwise I'd remember them).
My brother wants to go to the same Uni as me.
Not much of a choice seeing as there are only 2 good Unis in Dublin. Had a choice between Trinity and UCD. The bastard picked UCD.

Spurs? Liverpool? Hah
Spurs have only signed Vertonghen and Sigurdsson. They've lost King, Modric and Adebayor (until he signs permanently). They won't be winning the league any time soon.
Liverpool are a work in progress and with Allen, Lucas returning and possibly Sahin, they're looking might fine in midfield. I don't rate Borini yet as he's hardly proven but Liverpool will be a lot better team this coming season I reckon. Still, a work in progress.
Chelsea and Arsenal can both go either way. The former have looked dodgy all pre-season and the latter could do better with the quality signings they've made or could do worse due to no Van Persie.
IMO only Manchester United or Manchester City will win it this season.
Genuine laughs were had.
Bring a ruler.
Quite a tale. My brother wanted to do a game design degree, then he dropped out of college and started working in a call centre full time.
LEFT Hixx, definitely left.
