By Michael Didn’t.
Fear not Buddhist Steve, this will not be that over-optimistic drivelly sort of fayre occasionally served up by that idiot Didit. Stick around, and feast on a dose of harsh reality.
On Sunday morning, in the aftermath of the goal conceded against West Ham, I detected a surge of doom running around my system, and I’m not at all surprised. The result was irrelevant. Conceding an away goal is pathetic, and just highlights the chronic lack of ambition at this Club.
It’s the chronic long sightedness of our Owner, Board and Manager. Nothing is ever about today, and I am a man who lives for today. Instant gratification for me, that’s what I want. As a child, I wanted for nothing, well not for long anyway, as severe tantrums were always rewarded with what I wanted. It is how I developed my “winners” attitude. It was not that my parents were necessarily considerably richer than those of my mates that I always had the latest toys, no, simply my winners mentality and attitude.
I know of many overseas fans who have never been anywhere near an Arsenal game, and I can tell you they are absolutely livid. I used to be a Season Ticket Holder, but not anymore. Oh no. Now I go to the games I think we will win, but I’ll tell you what, if this club doesn’t start showing some real ambition, then I’m not going to go to even more games than I don’t now. Fact.
Just look around.
Remember all those English Stars being snapped up by Utd and Liverpool at perfectly reasonable prices, and what exactly were we doing? I’ll tell you…not spending enough, that’s what. Yip, the likes of Carl Jenkinson, that’s what. Yes, the very same player who had recently been on loan to Eastbourne Town!
Take the case Santi Cazorla, and before some smart arse tells me that Cazorla has goals, assists and irrelevant stats about completed passes, I say look at the cost. Sixteen bloody million pounds. Hardly a signal of positive intent was it? On a similar note, take my favourite manager, Maurinho. There’s a man not afraid to spend other peoples’ cash. £30m on Modric. Pah, and we get to spend sixteen bloody million on a player only just better than Cesc bloody Fabregas. Pathetic, it really is.
Everything is just so unfair.
Please don’t anyone tell me about the returns to action of Jack Wilshere, as it is not relevant to anything, and anyway, don’t you realize how much Wilshere cost?
Act now, I say. Black scarves and Bin Liners. This Saturday.
Written ‘t in c’ by MickyDitIt89
Arsenal News 24/7
arsenalarsenal.net 
Bloody well wasn’t “t in c”, as tragically, I know that fool Didnt quite well. He does apologize for some repetitive phrases and promises to read through future posts before sending.
Haha, Micky, thanks for being our saviour 😛
Past experience has made me cynical about the ability of some bloggers to spot irony so I’m afraid I’m responsible for the ‘t in c’.
Some supporters wallow in negatives as we know. The charts to the right demonstrate how much we have improved in the last 12 months – but there is just no pleasing some folks I guess.
Well said but you forget to mention the most important thing a ambitious club must have someone who can win the toss we will never be a big club until we sign tossers like Chelsea Man U and city have and let me tell you they have some world class tossers
Brilliant, The Font 😆 – where have you been? We need more input from insightful and perceptive bloggers like you.
I also think the new pre-match warm up is not a patch on Pat Rice’s old Morris dancing routine.
Well said Mr Didn’t, no point in resting on our laurels, what I want is one of those divers please …………. they are so entertaining and keep the referees on their toes.
Rasp,
I don’t think our imroved stats, as shown by your charts, illustrate quite how much better we really are. The fact that Sagna can no longer take his place for granted illustrates that point quite well. Also, we were clearly far too dependant on goals from RvP, and while they are being more spread out this season, I don’t think we’ve begun to see the full impact of Caz, Pod and Ollie yet. Understanding takes time, but the signs are very positive.
Well said. If it doesn’t get any better I’m going to let one of my red memberships expire
Wenger out!
FONT,
Ha ha 🙂
GM,
That’s mild, Didnt is sending his key ring back!
Judging by the speed that this was written and delivered, I’m trusting “t in c” is shorthand for TouchINg Cloth…
Well done Micky…it always makes me laugh when certain elements…normally those who don’t get near a game…call on ST holders to boycott games or give up their STs in protest…can see me doing that…have a feeling those asking are at around 40,000th on the ST waiting list and are looking for a bump, lol…
We wouldn’t be conceding stupid goals if Usmanov was in charge.
kronke out!
This is a sillly article with poorly worded sarcasm. Conceding one goal against W Ham clearly isn’t the issue. What is, is the fact we continue to concede goals in the same fashion on a constant basis, e.g. set pieces, and this is going to mitigate against us challenging at the very top if obvious weaknesses continue to not be addressed -that is the issue that requires highlighting and working on.
I also think people have the right to highlight a trophy drought going into its eight year without being accused of wanting instant gratification. Not every fan of AFC is going to be ‘gratified’ by the sheer fact of Wenger remaining in charge. The only stat that counts is we’re 7th. That is not a great start to the season, no matter how you try and dress it up.
Yeah GM, dead right, and I bet that Usmanov would send us toys and stuff for Christmas.
Morning SGRB, what level of achievement would make you happy I wonder? If we constantly came 2nd, presumably that wouldn’t be good enough.
It’s all comparative. We are competing in the top 4 with 3 other teams who have far greater financial resources. Add to that the 4 or 5 better and fast improving teams below us that aspire to join the elite, and I think the magnitude of the task is evident.
I am happy that we are improving and heading in the right direction in this period of transition in football. FFP will benefit Arsenal if it is enforced otherwise we just have to stick to our ethos and play the best football we can.
Stroud GRB…it’s a gag…I wouldn’t take it too seriously…think it’s more a dig at the fact that some (including me at times) will moan at anything, including good 3-1 away wins.
As for your point about our start? You’ve got to take into account mitigating factors as to WHY we’re 7th. We faced Sunderland (who’ve only just lost their first game of the season) and Stoke, teams who are well notoriously well organised and who shut up shop, parked the bus and fought hard for their point against us. We’ve played Liverpool and Man City away, Chelsea at home. Comparing our start to West Brom’s, for example, is a bit harsh…and to say we haven’t had a great start because we’re 7th…ignores other factors. We’re playing well, scoring goals, getting points…
SGRB,
You make some very reasonable points about set pieces, and we are certainly not at the top of our game yet.
However, I do think we are looking much stronger than last season, so that is a step in the right direction, and every Arsenal fan would like a trophy.
I did apologize for the poor wording in my first comment. It was a 12 minute rush job. Still, its a mighty long two week gap, so plenty of time for serious stuff.
Top top quality Didn’t. That sets the day up nicely…I had quite good chuckle from that write up.
GM…I agree, Usmanov and BFG at CB. Simples
SGRB – So after a good away win you’re still focussing on the last years and any mistakes that have been made..??
Good on you, it would be crazy to look to look to the future with any hope…??
Well you certainly did it Mr Didn’t. 🙂
I am proud that you did not say it like it isn’t.
As people like us are wont to say, ‘as a matter of principle, we won’t never not use a double negative because a single double negative is not never enough’.
In your not inestimable example; If only Mr Arsene ‘you ain’t not never seen nothing yet’ Wenger had only listened to Stroud Green, he would have realized how abominable it is that wenger paid a measly £16m for Cazorla which clearly shows he ain’t not nothing special.
All he had to do was pay £32m for him and we would be up there competing with the Chavs and Shitty and we would not be thinking Cazzor is not a bad buy — or something!
RA,
At no point do I never not know what you are or are not saying or something. Or nothing, who knows?
Its going to be a long two weeks 😦
Good tongue in cheek Micky. Pity some fans don’t seem to appreciate your wit. They are obviously well frustrated by the seven year drought. I can’t really accuse them of being fair weather fans. However, it can be said that they lack the patience to make the long term relationship work. Being a proper Arsenal fan is for life. That means taking the rough with the smooth. I have gone through every season since The Invincibles thinking we could win the title until it becomes mathematically impossible. These recent disappointments still fail to detract from the lovely football we play and the ethics we defend.
For me it is bye bye bsr et. al. and welcome this season’s new crop. We are not doing too bad are we?
I love Red Arse’s last paragraph @ 11.26. All Wenger had to do to show ambition was to pay £32m for Santi. True words that say a lot. Arsenal forever. Just believe and love it.
How dare you write such cack ! You will be immediately removed from the AA Hall of Fame , you wont even join me in the AA Hall of Shame, you`ll be sold on a Part exchange freebie to Legover, with a decent chap whose name rhymes with Tampon coming in the opposite direction. Now get your wellies on , your on gardening leave !.
Just seen Le Canoes reaction on Arsenalplayer, he`s speaking better English than me already ! .
Have a look behind him, it would be really funny if Fat Sam was standing there underneath the sign saying ” The Academy Of Football ” !. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahaahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Watching the game yesterday, the camera went on to Trevor Brooking, I thought there was a shade of disappointment look in his face whilst pulling his hair out !.
Shite, I`ve Just laughed all over Wigan Gooner !.
Michael Didn’t,
I think it’s an absolute scandal that you make light of genuine supporters’ concerns about the disgraceful way we conceded against West Ham and lampoon those who are perfectly justified in joining in with both the press and every other club’s supporters in highlighting our 8 years without a trophy.
What possessed you?
Couldn’t you have given us a full dissection of our chronic inability to defend set-pieces? It would certainly have been a piece which would have given me far more pleasure than your trite belittling of honest, loyal supporters and their genuine concerns at our appalling defence.
You could have highlighted that whilst, admittedly, conceding 3 goals less than the light blue oilers and 4 goals less than the red mancs, we have let in an embarrassing 1 goal more than those toxic twats from the bus stop in Fulham.
Don’t give me that rubbish about us having played away games at the Etihad, Anfield, the Britannia and a London derby against a team who were above us in the table, plus being unlucky to lose to the chavs at home. It’s soft soap for those who cuddle their Wenger pillows at night.
2 out of 10, could do better.
Reblogged this on Welcome to Arsenal9ja.
Chas,
So I take it that what you were intrinsically saying to Mr Didn’t, is that for all the eloquence of his esoteric and somewhat solipsistic words they ain’t going to get him nowhere, nohow.
If I understood what you meant I would be forced to agree with you, or not. 🙂
At base, however, you cannot say that Didn’t’-do-It’s Post wasn’t uninteresting. 🙂
Chas/RA/Glic,
I am perfectly capable of giving myself a headache, without the help of your twisted logic 🙂
Tony,
You are right about RAs comment. Paying more for Santi would have made so much sense 🙂
EXCUSE ME, who allowed you back on site, get back in the garden !. 👿
RA,
What I was trying to say, especially in the light of Howard Webb’s review of the bsr incident is this….
One fine day in the middle of the night
Two dead boys got up to fight
Back to back they faced each other
Drew their swords and shot each other
One was blind and the other couldn’t see
So they chose a dummy for a referee.
A blind man went to see fair play
A dumb man went to shout “hooray!”
A paralysed donkey passing by
Kicked the blind man in the eye
Knocked him through a nine inch wall
Into a dry ditch and drowned them all
A deaf policeman heard the noise
And came to arrest the two dead boys
If you don’t believe this story’s true,
Ask the blind man he saw it too!
We all know we bought Santi because he was cheap.
Rumours that Wenger was after him the previous summer but dropped out once he realised Qatari investor, Abdullah bin Nasser bin Abdullah Al Ahmed Al Thani, owner of Malaga was also looking to purchase him from Villareal are transparent lies designed to sell season tickets.
Love this classic line “if this club doesn’t start showing some real ambition, then I’m not going to go to even more games than I don’t now” 😆
I think the seating at the Emirates leaves a lot to be desired.
They should be more like aircraft seats so you can recline them if you fancy a nap during the game, and there should be a tele in the back of the seat in front so you can watch Jeremy Kyle if the game is a bit boring. Cheering and clapping would have to be banned so that you don’t get disturbed and perhaps the Stewards could bring confectionary round and supply a foot massage if required.
These measures would all help take our minds off what an underachieving bunch of losers we are and at least we’d get some enjoyment out of games we’re forced to go and watch.
“…only just better than Cesc bloody Fabregas” 🙂
Rasp,
I hope you realize Micky toned it down from;
“if this club doesn’t start showing some real ambition, then I’m not going to go to even more games than I don’t f**king go to now”.
He is a true gentleman and should be awarded Peaches’s mum’s Jammy Donut trophy.
A certain Niall Keown (son of Martin) will be lining up for Reading when we play them this evening. Frimpong, Jack and Sagna are all expected to play some part.
I could put a video on of what I thought was the best bit of football skill I had ever seen, but it will become clear why I wont.
In the Summer ( hahaha), I was in Norfolk, I thought with all the inbreds, it would be like Cornwall . In Cornwall everybody knows each other, you can ask for glic and someone will say, yes, he lives up at Handsome Bastard Manor and will give directions.
I thought, mmm GIE and Total live in Norfolk, so I asked a local, ” Do you know where two gooners live ? “, the local said ,” aarrr, and pointed with his nine fingered webbed hand to the direction of a place called ” Sandringham “.
A fantastic house with massive grounds ( I thought Didit must be their gardener ! ). I thought I would give the place a once over first as they might have guests. I heard a lot of noise and in the hazy sun distance, I could make out this lady wearing a crown in what I thought was a skin coloured all in one suit. I just marvelled at her footballing ability to play keepy uppy with a pair of cherry bakewells !, so out come the video camera !.
The video of our number “one” supporter is in a safe place.
I hadn’t realised that RA, although perhaps we could get round peaches’ mums scrutiny by utilising some of Ray Parlour’s cockney rhyming slang as taught to the Pod ….
Micky at 1:25,
That is not nice. Showing no gratitude for all our efforts to explain poor old Didn’ts Post.
Twisted logic indeed, I am not a pillock, you know, I just don’t know nothing about language is all. And, anyway, I did not do nothing. So there! 🙂
I was just kidding, Rasper, Micky is the dignified soul of sobriety and would never use effing ***s. 🙂
Afternoon all, I like a laugh, and especially on a wet Monday morning, so thanks Mdi789 for providing it.
Good to see Ca$hley has been charged by the FA; pity VanJudas isn’t going to be charged for the forearm smash on Cabaye (Yohan, not Montserrat) but then the ref decides if retrospective is required or not. And guess who the ref was ?
Good old Fergie’s rent-boy Howard Webb. Best addition to the Manure squad in the last 5 years the cheating, Fergie loving ManUre supporting git.
Haha, NorWitch and the newspapers are a little bit crazy.
hahaha, great post Micky. You can now add to your blogging CV that through amusement you made me slightly urinate myself.
Must admit that watching Saturdays game got be bouncing form delirious anticipation, abject frustration, to ecstatic delight all in the space of 90 minutes. When Westham scored i wanted to kill someone but there was no one about. I did spot a spider on the wall but upon approaching it realized i couldnt harm , even though mr evil and the thought of fat sam was saying do it.
Anyway i missed our first goal, i was still standing by the wall staring at the spider, but after that equalizer i knew we would win. Santi is the man, the guy reminds me of Xavi or Iniesta, you just cant get the ball off him.
After the game i nudged the spider into a glass, wanting to keep him as a pet, but spoil sport Mrs Terry wouldnt let me so had to release him into the wild. Felt quite sad seeing him eight leg it, but i will always remember him with fondness.
“Anyway i missed our first goal, i was still standing by the wall staring at the spider”
Brilliant !!!!
Chas – 2 out of 10..really..??
You’re either in a very generous mood or not taking your medication.
Share mine..??
I sometimes travel with the bus
With it, not on it?
That’s my podolski accent
Haha.
Es gibt einen fussballgott
Brilliant! At last a proper serious article MDI89.
Stroud Green Road slip into the great French Fresh Fish shop in your street and ask for a case of the crabs, go on you know you deserve it!! We all know you deserve it!
If you take about 5mins to study the history of the prem you´ll very quickly see that we the Arse were the only credible challenge offered to the richer SAF´s Manu´er, Until the Oily Russian arrived. After which the goal posts were moved and we had another club to do battle with that was prepared to run up an even bigger debt than SAF. Now we have 3 mega rich debt builders to cope with, and we are still balancing our books. Surely your not another Chelski wanna be? I mean we ain´t got a sugar daddy get over it! Most of us have, and for the most part I think the majority of Gooners like the classy team building way the club is being run. I think we are heading in the right direction.
No more T in Cheek 89!
Seems too many of our own can´t see the wood for the trees.
Another top comment from you richie ……. what will it take to get you to write a post for us? You have a choice, the undignified experience of me begging or alternatively the irresistable persuasion of being ‘peachganged’ … your choice 😆
Of course you are right, Richie, but if you take away the moans from guys like Stroud Green what is left in their lives?
To be fair, I am sure Stroud and others like him have Arsenal’s interests (and their own) at heart, but you would not want them on your side if there was a war. “We are doomed Mr Mainwaring ….. doomed!! Doomed I tell you!” 🙂
BTW, has anyone seen Secret Pastie (aka Glic) around. Since he found the invisible fonts I am concerned that he may have disappeared up his own Jaxi, like the legless Oomagoolie Bird, which, of course, was hunted to near extinction by the Warethefukarewe Tribe.
Tragic!! 🙂
If you play your cards right Richie, you can have the fun of watching the Rasper beg, and then be deliciously thrilled by being Peachesganged! Wow! 🙂
I clearly made my first (and so far only) post far too soon…got neither the pleasure of Rasp begging, nor the irresistable persuasion of being ‘peachesganged’…I’m far too eager…
Secret Pastie has asked me to tell him more about the short arsed Warethefukarewe Tribe, who lived in the long grass, but it is a sad tale. 😦
They used to be neighbors of the Mowthefukingrass tribe, until one day, following a dispute about the length of the grass the Warethefukarewes killed them all. They were sorely missed by all, especially the Whatthefukwasthat Tribe.
Now the Warethefukarewes are never seen, but can clearly be heard jumping up and down plaintively yelling Warethefukarewe, only to be greeted by the angry war cry of the Overfukinthere Tribe..
[Wipes tear from eye]
Apologies for the bad language – look away now Mrs P.
This is the aural equivalent of being peachganged.
Rhyle, your exuberant enthusiasm will be your undoing. It is probably the pressures of your RAF background.
For example, The Squadron Leader was about to start the morning briefing to his Staff and while waiting for the coffee machine to finish its brewing, he decided to pose a question to all assembled.
He explained that his wife had been a bit frisky the night before and he had failed to get his usual amount of sound sleep.
He posed the question, to the officers in the room, of just how much of sex was ‘work’ and how much of it was ‘pleasure?’
His deputy said it was probably 75-25% in favour of work.
The youngest officer said it was about 50-50%.
His Aide responded with 25-75% in favour of pleasure, depending on his state of inebriation at the time. You know the angle of the dangle equation.
But as there was no consensus, the Colonel turned to the young Airman who was in charge of making the coffee and sai what is your opinion?
With out hesitation, the young Airman clicked to attention and said “Sir, it absolutely has to be 100% pleasure.”
The Colonel was surprised and, as you might guess, asked why?
“Well, Sir, began the Airman “if there was any work involved, the officers would have had me doing it for them, Sir!”
You were that young Airman Rhyle!!! 🙂
Chas, 🙂 you are for it now!!
Didn’t …you forgot our saviour in the wings Mr.Jabba the Usmanov, ably seconded by his faithful bitch David Dein and the AAA chorus, like a Greek tragedy (in this case an Uzbek comedy) chanting ¨spend some f**kin dosh, or buy some f**kin stars, or better still Wenger out! All egged on and inspired by vacuous promises from Usmanov and company, to the tune of Abba’s song: money, money, money, it’s a rich man’s world!
RA…love it!
Rhyle,
The RAF has some great philosophical insights, such as
“It is mostly inadvisable to eject over the buggers you have just bombed” or
“Our bombing is very, very accurate — all our bombs hit the ground” or
“try to look unimportant — the bastards may be low on ammo” or
“Never share a fox hole with any bugger braver than you”.
I am now officially worn out!! 🙂
I hate the term “AAA” as much as I hate the term “AKB”…divisive and nonsense as most of the moaners (especially me…) care about the Arsenal but don’t agree with the direction of the club. Certainly doesn’t make ’em “anti-Arsenal”.
Other than weedonald, loved the jabba jab… 😀
Rhyle, how about I beg you to write another post …… peaches is at the AST meeting tonight so won’t be around to peachgang you for a while 😛
chas @ 5:03 😆
I’ll definitely write again…thought of something yesterday but it’s coming up a bit dry when I try to write it.
I’m a bit “Mr. Logic” from Viz when it comes to blogging 😦
1-0 to the Arsenal at half time Vs Reading. Eisfeld scored.
Wilshere, Sagna, Frimpong, Coq`, Santos are all playing !.
Michael Didn’t is my new hero 😀
Sorry I’ve not been around to enjoy the japes
Mancs v Soton and
Smoggies v Dippers
under 21s are streaming.
Why the hell isn’t the Arsenal u21s?
That’s with the highest ticket prices in the Universe, too!
I dont know chas, Uranus is quite expensive !.
Nearly the best fan video of a goal ever……
Close up and personal
Finished 2-0. Akpom with the 2nd.
Jack got 74 mins and Bacary 61mins. Ease them back gently, as the replacements are doing fine. Touch wood. 🙂
Hope Oli is paying Theo’s booking, he was keeping his distance until he pushed him in.
Chas 5.30…..thats my choon !!!
You’re sharing my meds and starting to see things my way…welcome to my world.
GiE, I’ve put up a trial version of your widget but I think the info is a tad confusing. I’ve mailed you a couple of questions … ta 🙂
Rhyle…..what’s not to like about my jabbajab? I didn’t invent the term AAA or for that matter WKB or whatever acronym used to describe our alteregos. I am definitely in neither camp, being both supportive of AFC and Wenger but also open to seeing his lacunae and faults. What I am really concerned with is the willingness of some ¨fanboys¨ to whine on about Usmanov as if he was going to be the saviour and redeemer for Arsenal.their incessant demand that we spend money to win trophies is equally onerous and damaging.
Perhaps this season we’ll finally see the apotheosis of Wenger’s 5-7 year plan and some titles or trophies won. If not, we can still ask the telling questions about AW’s vision and approach while cheering on the next edition of the AFC.
You can moan all you want about how the club is run and what Wenger does, That doesn’t make you anti-Arsenal, nor alienate you from other Gooners who see things differently (glass half full/empty/no glass at all…) so try not to be so defensive and quick to jump all over a fellow Gooner…..maybe someday such terms as AKB and AAA will disappear from Gooners’ vocabulary and we can all sit down and enjoy the beautiful Football our Arsenal play? Until then, we each have our point of view….
This one’s for you, Frothing.
Pass the meds ‘pon the right hand side.
I’d never heard of AAA.
Arsenal Arsenal Anonymous?
Good try chas but it’s more likely to be Arsene’s Able Arsenal 😉
I’ve been to the AST meeting chas, are you around tomorrow I might write a small post but very informative post and I know you’ll love to question me about it 😆
I got your meaning and believe me, weedonald, I wasn’t jumping all over you at all – just pointed out that I don’t like AAA or AKB as ridiculous labels that are divisive. As I said. Wasn’t having a pop at anything other than that…and I’m not that much of a moaner…really…
I then said that I LOVED your jab at jabba, by the by…
AAA is “Anti-Arsenal Arsenal” and used, by some, to describe anyone who criticises the Arsenal in any whatsoever…much the same way AKB stopped being a gag about those who responded to any challenge of their pro-Arsenal view with “Arsene Knows” and became a way for the militant element on LG to describe anyone who doesn’t agree with them…
Tedious, I know…I’ll get me coat.
Its a term coined at UntoldArsenal and means Anti-Arsenal Arsenal or Anti-Arsene Arsenal, referring to those fanboys who are always against anything Arsenal but proclaim themselves Gooners regardless. they’re the ones who often boo our players at the emirates and hold up banners saying ¨spend some f**kin money¨etc.
Rhyle…I dislike ridiculous and divisive labeling as much as anyone so cheers!
Morning anyone.
Chas,
Those W’Ham fan vids are grea. Does the phone operator film the whole game, or does he spookily know exactly when we are going to score?
Not sure, Micky, though at the dippers away we had some bloke a couple of rows in front holding up an iPad recording for large chunks of the match.
Everywhere you go someone seems to be recording these days. Watching a gig standing up now means have to duck and dodge and barricade of phones held up in the air blocking your view.
One thing the fans vids always remind me is that it’s still the same game played on a flat surface with a pig’s bladder (poetic licence). When Santi played that pass to Giroud at the end of the game which took out umpteen West Ham defenders, he was seeing that from 5′ 6″ above the floor. Simply astonishing.
And the moral is, don’t celebrate too early….
I’m father-in-law sitting today, peaches, but I think they have a laptop facility these days, so I’m looking forward to your informative breakdown!
Pedro from LG tweeted a week or two back how much he hated fans putting other fans into categories. The irony of that statement somehow passed him by completely. 🙂
Btw, I enjoyed the positivity in his post yesterday. I can’t imagine how the conversations with his dad go!
Ipads at games!!!! Oh dear.
That pen film is brilliant
Chas,
I used to have respect for LeGrove a while ago, but given the way the owners have chosen to go (through editing/lack of) I actually think its disgusting.
Ultimately, and it goes back to your pig bladder comment, football is a game, and the players human beings. Given that those players read blogs, I find it staggering that the owners can claim to be “proper Arsenal men”. At a club like Chelsea, then maybe.
It’s spooky video time, then I’ll leave you all in peace.
That’s the difference between being in the stands and on the pitch, very few players on the ground can see that pass, everyone in the stands can. I sometimes wonder if that’s why Arsene doesn’t like being up in the stands. He can judge his players by seeing what they see at pitch level.
As for mobile phones at gigs it’s bloody annoying, especially videos. I don’t mind the odd picture I’ve done it many times, but a video?!?? I’d rather watch the gig thanks and get in the middle of the mosh pit.
Good Morning All.
Still warm after an away win at the Not so Happy Hammers. Have yet to watch the whole game – a pleasure reserved for this evening.
Very amusing post Micky, cheered me up on a day when I have more work than Sisyphus.
The Cab Calloway vid is superb.
Morning all,
You think LG has negative posters well this guy has been regularly posting like this for years.
This is just 3 days:
highburyian (Arsenal): bizzle: amusing and senseless as usual as you do not know who Mertesacker is? and why the fans were glad to see back of him from the Bundesliga whilst laughing all the way to the bank and why he was called the slow tank. Know your facts and your lack knowledge about the new players shows how little you know about them. Not an ounce of truth and if you have understood the posts they say Jackson and Gabby are better than Chamakh and wenger should have opted for them not this useless player. DJ Campbell is your way of getting sympathy from others like 528 Andy who is off the mark as usual offering a pack of dribble. jon walters and jordan Rhodes straight up lie though funny reading it.

highburyian (Arsenal): goonjam: wrong, wrong and wrong uses the same bloody formation after he ditched the 442 but sometimes drops back to 451 FACT. Yes arsenal is not fit as its inundated by crappy players and cant win major games FACT. Mistakes is what makes this sport lively but constant repetition is daftness FACT. Kos was the most red carded defender last season and is still at it FACT. Yet you and others like mad-dad and 528 Andy sing my tune after a poor game so make up your mind wenger or arsenal I want wenger gone period, so that this mess ends FACT. 8 bloody goals yeah right?

highburyian (Arsenal): victorystone: Wenger brought in 3 new players did not sort the back door and formation and did not assemble a decent bench resulting in RVP leaving and Sagna wanting to do the same? Theo wants out too? The same players getting injured without adequate replacements and not applying appropriate method and tactic to tame strong oppositions? Silliness and been ridiculous is supported by your posts. Get real wenger cares less but thinks of his pocket and BODs just want their money, this is the reality not some silly cheap talk you are on about.

samuelsdad (Arsenal): Who do you want as manager? Who do you think we should sign? Anyone can criticise. But your pathetic ramblings never, ever make any suggestions as to how to improve things. You are a coward and a loser who is not fit to post here. Stop your myopic , ground hog day rants and tell us your solution to your self styled problems at the club. Grow a set and give us your ideas or get off this page!

highburyian (Arsenal): chris699 wenger did not play your best player and now wenger wants to see who will be sold first? Gervo or Theo both wingers both speedy and both major wasters so one goal is all you got but wenger will not t start him something is fishy like your absurd posts.

samuelsdad (Arsenal): You need to attend anger management classes. When you have finished, see if you can book yourself on to an FA coaching course. You might learn something and hopefully meet real people and make some friends too.

highburyian (Arsenal): bizzle: Not another daft post wanting wenger and his poor work to be supported and acknowledged. Facts:Theo still rubbish, Gervinho still hapless in front of goal, Ramsey no, Diaby is off, Mertesacker plays well one game then he is the best defender? yet was the culprit when Germany lost by 5 goals and all national press calling for his head! {Per the national disgrace Lowe why did you pick him?} My posts are not out of context, inaccurate or negative they simply affirm that wenger has not sorted the deadwood and still sticks with a system that brings nothing but disgrace. Wengers lies and false hopes displaces 8yrs of nothing and seem nonexistence to you, surely you cant fully blind like mad-dad among others. Kos clumsy yet Santi is really good, so accept the inevitability that arsenal is not fit purpose. Pay attention arsenal will not win anything its that simple not idiotic, out of context, inaccurate dribble you are on about.

goonjam (Arsenal): FACT: we are not playing same formation as previous seasons when will you get that into your head…FACT: 99.9% of posters on this site would like you to crawl into any hole and not come out…FACT:the whole reason your posts consistantly get thumbs down is because you are completely negative and only view the world as it appears in IanLand…get some persepctive mate…no team goes through seasons without making mistakes and I can guarantee that if you analysed ever single player through 90 mins you can point out at least 6 mistakes made…Kos has made mistakes and unfortunately when a centre back makes a mistake it leads to a shot on goal or an actual goal on the majority of occassions…do Arsenal players make more mistakes than other players…probably not if you read other boards as I am sure every fan forum has someone like yourself who just sees negative aspects everywhere…I would hate to make you a cup of coffee….

highburyian (Arsenal): chris699: So by bringing stats that are assembled to make Theo appear to be a decent player is what you to flaunt but the reality on the pitch says another story stats that dont show how many wastages and changes missed and how many decisions he got wrong. Stats are stats and are used for a purpose? The draw to stoke was evidence and the victories over Liverpool, Montpellier and wengers distrust of him against Southampton is another sign of poor form and guess what a howler and he scored, so trying to be the village idiot is what you are doing so hope and wait but time waits for no man.

highburyian (Arsenal): ipswich_wizz : Play the boy anywhere he wants but he will fluff them and as a striker he lacks the touch, vision and physique harsh no the sooner he leaves the better Ox can do better. Gervinho is another Chamakh and say no more. Mert the jury is out. Feeder clubs will not win any and the problems will increase.

highburyian (Arsenal): ipswich_wizz: How long will he develop Theo, score goals on the first attempt, reduce unnecessary runs, stop over running the ball and shoot when in the box? How more years can one wait? Chamakh could not make it and Gervinho is not that far behind. The imported lot from last season are still rubbish. A draw to mancity was lucky after Kos fed Aguero who fluff it and was the same culprit who crocked up against Chelsea. Basing no but its imperative to reduce silly mistakes. Jordan Rhodes, Connor Wickham and Jonathan Walters are sorely missed. Song is missed and Titi, Gilberto, and RVP as well so we are in the same boat and Paul is terrible and wenger is visionless. 8yrs and nothing to show for, 8yrs with the highest ticket price in the land, rubbish team and applauding results and this is arsenal?

ipswich_wizz (Ipswich Town): The Theo issue you have would likely go if he was played as a striker, which is what he was bought for and I still think you are being harsh on the lad. Gervinho, I think your being harsh based on this season so far and both our judgements should wait to see if he continues to perform. Mert has also improved alot in his second season, Kos seems to be playing very nervously. As far as the Ipswich players are concerned the only one we could have held onto is Rhodes and that was a mistake by Keane. Wickham and Walters had offers from the premiership, something we could not offer so can’t really be seen as mistakes. Just professional progression.

highburyian (Arsenal): chris699: It’s not funny and not everyone but it’s you who is clueless. Theo is speedy crap and because wenger rates him Cappello took him and Roy is now making the same speedy mistake. Arsenal fans know Theo is useless in front of goal and after 10 misses he scores 1 due to keeper error? So get off your high horse as Theo is cheap-crap and that is the bottom line. WS, Mead,Sagna , TV, Gnabry, Coquelin, Nico, Santi, Giroud and Arteta are good players, am not like you following wenger and his crappy style and ever increasing deadwood through another painful season. Draw City & L/pool, Lost to Chelsea next are manure and spuds plus Swansea. As I said you are indeed clueless to think Theo will ever develop into a footballer simply clueless. Nothing is better than calling wenger all the nasty names under the sun specially when the opposition is dominating and clumsy Kos is mucking about.
Raddy,
You want to be seeing a Doctor about that Sisyphus. Nasty!
Oh, and welcome back.
Kelsey,
Me thinks one line of that would have been enough 🙂
That penalty clip has made my morning.
Kelsey
Where is that stuff from?
kelsey. Well,….. we all agree that for a blog to work there has to be different viewpoints 🙂
Micky. Thanks. Off to the Docs sharpish …. Back later
It’s from TeamTalk, LB. I and GunnerN5 used to blog on there years ago and recently I just put up a couple of comments to see if things had changed,but as you can see it hasn’t.
Quite right micky, but i wanted you to get the drift 🙂
Morning all
New Post ………………………….
