My dad made an interesting point to me, why in gods name didnt Adnan forgo half his holiday and join the tour? Young player, huge potential, now no pre-season under a new manager, he could have forced himself into contention but now he is behind everyone and a sub. I would hate to see him marginalised like he was at the tail end of last season.

Even though he only played 1 match at the World Cup, he still had to train with Belgium and travel with Belgium leading up to the World Cup. He needed a vacation.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Hahahahaha

Why are you laughing? It's just a bit glorified friendlies. I don't anyone can deny that lol

 

[Plasma]

He isn't injured. Wenger said so yesterday.

Why isn't he in the squad then, doesn't make sense to put Coquelin in who will (Hopefully) be sold/loaned out soon.

 

[Mr Cola]

Listening to him and Jonathan Pearce during that WC game where Pearce was unable to understand the bare simplicity of goal line technology was incredible. Keown saw it instantly, Pearce just started going bonkers.

Everything Keown has ever said in a commentary or pundit position can be listed in a book called "Cliches to say when you dont understand football, for idiots", the book is 2 pages long and it was written by Ron Atkinson.

Its a joke that footballers need vacations. Earn millions for doing something most would do for peanuts and then get a nice month off.

I am just bitter because I only get two one week breaks a year

Ones that play 45+ games a season I can understand, there's not a lot of recovery time. A 19 year old who made less than 30 appearances in the year, lol no.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

FPL players:

Take out RVP
Take out Shaw

They aren't starting Man U's initial games

Undoubtedly true, but he still was able to follow the game and understand what was being displayed his screen about the goal when Pearce was going bonkers about how confusing it all was. That itself is a worry.

 

[Mr Cola]

I can see WIlshere getting little game time next year, stacked midfield

 

[BlindCommunication]

Farewell Cech.

 

[Fintan]

Courtois makes his first great Chelsea save.

 

[Steverulez]

What a save... Cech edging closer to joining Carlo

 

[Zabojnik]

15 years ago today, Arsenal signed a Juventus reject.

Thanks Obama Carletto.

 

[Locke Lamora]

Damn, Werder nearly with the 1-0 against Chelsea but brilliant save by Courtois

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

UnitedGAf. Just seen on PL Vault top goalkeepers. Who would you rather have Schmeichel or EVDS?

 

[Broder Salsa]

Zouma really doesn't look ready at this level at all. He misses so many headers in the box completely.

But dat Courtois

 

[figadapaura]

Glory Glory at Michigan Stadium

Was great to hear that after the match finished. I wasn't expecting it, but now I know they played the Chevrolet ad lol.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Zouma really doesn't look ready at this level at all. He misses so many headers in the box completely.

But dat Courtois

Fucking lanky ass fucker.

UnitedGAf. Just seen on PL Vault top goalkeepers. Who would you rather have Schmeichel or EVDS?

Peter.

 

[Salvadora]

Why does Sanchez tuck his shorts up?

 

[Zabojnik]

I irrationally hate Courtois. I don't know why. Probably because of the ridiculous nose.

 

[Mr Cola]

UnitedGAf. Just seen on PL Vault top goalkeepers. Who would you rather have Schmeichel or EVDS?

My nostalgia says Schmeichel because he was one of my heros growing up, but Edwin was also, truly, quite brilliant for us. However there is a game against Newcastle where Schmeichel bailed us out time and time again and we scored in like the 85th minute to win, ill never forget it, unbelievable, nostalgia wins.

 

[DBT85]

For a modern team probably VDS, he was better with his feet I think.

Though in reality I just wish we'd had him from the day Schmeichel left rather than the years of fucking about with other options.

 

[BlindCommunication]

A few seasons on loan at Vitesse will do him a world of good.

Spoiler

Sold for 30m in 3 years to PSG

 

[Broder Salsa]

Fucking lanky ass fucker.

Nothing gets past those arms

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Thanks Obama Carletto.

he was made to look a bitch by our superior defending. Had he stayed he would have never reached the heights he did under Wenger.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Costa :lol

 

[Milchmonster]

Speaking of Monaco, does anyone have an idea what's happening there? Are they happy about being second in Ligue 1?

I don't really get what they're doing there to be honest. Looked like they'd built a great team last year but now it looks like they don't even spend the James money. Signing three amazing players, selling one of them and not improving a mediocre team makes it look like they have no idea what they're doing.

 

[Barzul]

Why isn't he in the squad then, doesn't make sense to put Coquelin in who will (Hopefully) be sold/loaned out soon.

Probably putting Coquelin in the shop window.

 

[Mr Cola]

I cant see Courtois without thinking about Artosis from the Starcraft scene

 

[Kandinsky]

So when is the Arsenal/Monaco game starting?, 45 mins?

 

[Gurthang]

Is Cech being linked to Madrid? rather have Navas but it'll do

 

[Steverulez]

Zouma really doesn't look ready at this level at all. He misses so many headers in the box completely.

But dat Courtois

Glorious. Club made a great decision to sign him, our number 1 spot is done for the next 10 years, again.

Also, Zouma isn't first choice especially after the season JT and Cahill had last season so I'm sure he will improve as time goes on. We're supposedly still after Varane or Miranda anyway

Costa as well, 5 games before he gets a disciplinary, if that

Speaking of Monaco, does anyone have an idea what's happening there? Are they happy about being second in Ligue 1?

Owner has bailed out now I think?

Both were truly brilliant. I still can't believe EVDS played for Ajax, Juventus, Fulham and Utd. How the fuck did Fulham get him

 

[Barzul]

So when is the Arsenal/Monaco game starting?, 45 mins?

2 minutes

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

So excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sanchez in full glory

 

[Slizz]

Why are you laughing? It's just a bit glorified friendlies. I don't anyone can deny that lol

Oh I thought you were making a dig at Berbatov and his lack of hustle and the fact the he looks well rested even when on the pitch :lol

 

[wedward]

This is the lineup we will probably see in the Community shield and against Crystal Palace.

Gibbs instead of Nacho.

 

[Kandinsky]

2 minutes

oh wtf, thank you.

 

[Perfect Blue]

LOL JT -_-

 

[Locke Lamora]

Yay. Not even undeserved for Werder. I'm surprised and amused so far by our game

 

[Broder Salsa]

Werder scores off a penalty, after Torres refuses to move for a ball.

 

[GQman2121]

This crowd is jumping.

 

[Suen]

hahaha that kid reaching his hand out because he wanted to shake the Arse players hands. No one took notice

Racist.png

 

[Mr Cola]

Its early but im still excited, opening fixtures for the big guns

Man Utd v Swansea
Leicester v Everton
QPR v Hull
Stoke v Aston Villa
West Brom v Sunderland
West Ham v Tottenham
Arsenal v Crystal Palace
Liverpool v Southampton
Newcastle v Man City
Burnley v Chelsea

Hard to see who of the big teams will drop points, City Newcastle is iffy for the opening fixture, I cannot call us v Swansea, I can see Arsenal and Liverpool winning.

:lol I saw that too

no one cares about that kid ;_;

Arse-GAF, this is where Arsenal will play so good that even Falcao will ask us to buy him at HT.
