Ah, you will be in for a treat. Much better than GTA IV.
I thought Carlo said he wouldn't play?
We bought them young. Don't see how this is that different to what Bayern on Barca did. They didn't bring up all their home grown talent.

FWIW, Gibbs came at 14 as a middling CM from a defunct football club and had an unimpressive loan at 18. Think we can take credit for him.
Not that you're wrong in terms of what our academy is doing, but obviously Wenger wasn't referring to that. Gotze, Boateng, Neuer, and even Kroos haven't been at Bayern since they were small, but are/were part of the German core at the club. That's what he's referring too.
Yeah, better characters and a story that isn't totally bullshit.

Doesn't matter where they came from, really; I like to see English clubs have British players. I'm always proud of the fact that the likes of Rooney, Welbeck, Carrick, Rio, Smalling, Jones, Giggs, Evans, Fletcher etc play for Manchester United.
Liverpool have Gerrard, Flanagan, Johnson, Henderson, Sterling, Sturridge, Allen. Arsenal have the aforementioned.
Even Chelsea, who don't have the best track record, have had Lampard, Terry and Cole in their team for the best part of ten years.
City have Hart who regularly plays, Milner who sometimes plays and Rodwell/Sinclair/Richards/Wright who don't. And Hart's probably being replaced. That annoys me just as much as their petrol riches do.

City really do need to buy more English peeps.
And obviously their argument would be that the quality of English players isn't good enough to successfully challenge. They have a point.
But they do talk up their holistic approach an awful lot, so it would be nice to see some British youngsters come through the ranks as opposed to ones just nicked from elsewhere. Even on our tour we've used Keane, Blackett, James, Zaha.
Zaha was nicked Wilbz you sponge but other than that I agree with your point
fack off
We'll see you next year when you get relegated m8

If LVG has his way they will all be in the EPL within the next 3 years.
It was made even better by the song they played.
The soundtrack was so unexpected but absolutely perfect.

also people like to have a go at Mourinho for his comments about trying to help the FA out and make more English players but his first spell he had Terry, A.Cole, Bridge, Johnson, J.Cole and Lampard! I think he really will try and let some of the youngstars up this time!
He looks way too muscular and not smooth at all. Isn't he fighting hip problems as well?
Just got done watching the Arsenal highlights from today. Couldn't find it locally so it is what it is. What I did notice is that Yaya, was in the right place at the right time for most of his goals. Wonderful passing, and exciting offense. It will be nice when I'm able to catch this games without trying to watch on a pop up riddled potato quality stream.

Watching Linsanity.
Game was live on ESPN3.
Such an Englishface.
Haven't watched enough of him to have an opinion. I suppose he has more upside than Big Sami. Rather sign a 22 year old than a 28 year old who just tore his knee up.
Big Willy is a true defensive mid, right?
Trust Wenger to make the right choice.

I don't get it. Does he mean he thinks Carvalho is coming to Arsenal or the opposite?
Oh, ok it's the latter :lol
Cable provider locks me out of ESPN3.
The former, babe.

Roma pls
I don't "get" Marquez either. not big on the whole magic realism thing I guess.
not reading Gone Girl before the movie. in Fincher I trust.
Interesting, if true.
This summer has been crazy for Arsenal already. I'm not convinced Sanchez will work as effectively up front as some do. But the search for world class strikers is never easy. Anyway, hoping they have a decent stab at the title.
Think we'll be fine with just Giroud. Getting goals will not be a problem. We just need to be more defensively solid vs the bigger teams.
It was fine. But it just didn't really do anything to me. It told me a story but it didn't make me care about it.
I was in two minds. I like Fincher, but I also wholeheartedly believe that a film adaptation will never be as good as the book.
Which is foolish for someone who lists Blade Runner as one of his top three films.
It's really good though, Gone Girl. Part of the success of it is the way it's structured though, so I'm still really excited to see how the films done, just not what the key plot points are.
It's going to be one hell of a thriller.
Adblock mate.
Tickled a girl's pink last night. Didn't want her parents to know I was round so I "accidentally" put my peins in her pooper and she yelled out. They knew then.
