"The time in which we ask the fans for patience is coming to an end." -Gazidis Better back it up or get the fuck out Ivan Oh and fwiw some French radio station apparently said the Kos injury isn't serious
Another long term injury would suck, not really convinced Rosicky will play this year. Sounds like he's been close to being back and had a setback which is never good especially with his history.
Maybe it was, but who the hell dives into a tackle like that in training?! Neither of them have shin pads on and you're making a dangerous tackle against a teammate. May have been clean but still idiotic.
looks like a textbook tackle but yeah don't know why ribery would feel the need to slide in like that in training. probably jealous that kos and debuchy are hooking up with giroud while he doesn't stand a chance
Seeing bits and pieces on my twitter feed, but cliffs on this? Twitter is blocked at work, so it's hard to figure this out.
Does anyone honestly believe we'll even come close to spending the supposed 35m January transfer funds? No? Okay then.
Llorente ain't going on a free. I think someone gets him in the winter window. Scouse need a striker bad.
I love Per more and more everyday. Can't believe how much my opinion of him and Jenks has changed in a matter of months.
He has been horrible when playing in the midfield replacing Diaby. He has been ok at times as one of the attacking wide players. But he has sucked as much as ever in the midfield, just can't do that job at all.
I'd rather he play attacking mid and Santi cover than vice versa. Would rather Ox start on the right but imagine it will be Gervinho this week. Giroud should start up top for a while
Barca president underlines status as deluded twonk Spoiler BY @AALLENSPORT 10:38 AM · OCTOBER 18, 2012 · 57 COMMENTS :: 7,822 VIEWSBEHIND THE SCENES, FORMER PLAYERS, TRANSFERS, TRANSFERS IN, TRANSFERS OUT ·TAGGED: ARSENE WENGER, BARCELONA, PICTURES, SANDRO ROSELL Marc Overmars (2000), Emmanuel Petit (2000), Giovanni van Bronckhorst (2003), Thierry Henry (2007), Alexander Hleb (2008), Cesc Fabregas (2011), Alex Song (2012) – seven established internationals that have left Arsenal for Barcelona during the Arsene Wenger era. All players, Gio aside, that Barcelona have had few qualms throwing a lot of cash at in the process.Cesc Fabregas (2003), Fran Merida (2005), Jon Toral and Hector Bellerin (both 2011) – four teenagers who opted to leave Barcelona’s La Masia Academy and pursue their football development in England. Two have since left (one back to Camp Nou remember) and two remain as possible first team stars of the future.So which club would you expect to be the one complaining about the other’s transfer policy; Arsenal or Barcelona?According to Sandro Rosell, the current president of La Blaugrana and heir to Joan Laporta’s crown as Catalonia’s most arrogant cunny, it’s the latter.Of course it’s the latter.Granted he also takes a pot shot at Manchester City, who are obviously more evil than a turd infused with ebola floating in a pool of rotting rice pudding, but still…what a tosser.Speaking at the Fórum Fundació FC Barcelona (whatever that is), Rosell is quoted by El Mundo Deportivo (translated by ESPN) stating:“Manchester City want to take our players and they want to destabilise us.“It also happens with Arsenal, who come for our youth team players and offer them a lot of money.“Now it is happening with City. We are the enemy to beat. There are a lot of people who do not want Barca to do well and want us not to win.”Now excuse me while I rant a bit.If you want to go about destabilising a team, I’m not sure the best way to go about it is to take a couple of unproven youngsters. Is it Sandro? That’s hardly going to bring the walls of the Nou Camp crashing down…I’d say if Arsene wanted to destabilise Barcelona he’d probably get Thomas Vermaelen to run a hot poker up Messi’s arse until he cries blood, or he’d order Jack Wilshere to slap Iniesta and Xavi in the nuts with a ping pong bat until they promise never to kick a football ever again. He might even get Squillaci to waterboard Puyol and Pique or even give you Chamakh on a free.But Arsene wouldn’t do that and nor would he plant rumours about possible signings in the press every week and get his squad to jabber on for months about how they’d fit into his playing system.Because that’s unbecoming…it’s how cunts behave. But you do that Sandro. You, your cronies, your players, your hired hacks…you do it every year. And yet somehow you have the audacity and pomposity to lecture us on the way we behave?Fuck off. Fuck off. Fuck off. You are the definition of hypocrisy. http://news.arseblog.com/2012/10/barca-president-underlines-status-as-deluded-twonk/
