Arsenal Transfer Rumours And General Chat

cson

Not denying that at all. But one would have said that Arsenal - Sevilla was the tie of the last round of matches but where was it? On fecking Sky Sports extra if even that.

arbeitsscheuer

To be fair, the Steaua - Arse game is on Setanta Ireland tonight, so can't complain too much.

Besides, Sky is obliged to show all the premiership's teams equally, or as equally as is possible. As such, they reserve showing the bigger teams (i.e. us) til the business end of the season. I think. I could be wrong, but it's the only explanation I can think of as to why we're rarely televised at the start of the season.

RTÉ tho? They just hate us.:D

cson

Hate us, yet that ape Dunphy holds us up as a standard when we win well and Utd struggle on the same night. Madness.

Anyway word on the street is Bert is out the door in january, he was none too pleased about gallas getting the captaincy, he's been out of the squad as of late and there's reports of a huge bustup with Wenger. hope he does'nt go, but it makes sense with Wengers purchase of Diarra and the flamsters palying out of his skin at the moment.


Dunphy, ppfffftt!!!, if Henry was with still with us or chipper was doing analysis, i gurantee you'd he'd be stuck on us like a fly to crap. anytime we won well for the past years, it was always how Arsenal do well against weaker teams, give them a stronger team and see what happens, etc.... i nearly had a heart failure when i heard him go on about us after the Seville game.

cson

For a lad that was supposed to be leaving, Flamini is playing some stuff. Still think he's too small though, not really a presence tbh, more of a poor mans Gattuso imo.

It'd be a pity if Gilberto left, afaik Juve are after him. Been an Arsenal stalwart, been fantastic for the club and no messing with him be it contract, on the field etc. Great player.

DSB

I think Gilberto is right to be a little peeved at Gallas getting the captaincy ahead of him. I mean he isn't at the club too long, and if what Chelsea accused him of when he left is accurate then he is hardly the best man for the job.

RTE = MUTV

when ManU aren't playing RTE = Celtic TV

The only Celtic games they showed last season was Man Utd v Celtic and Celtic v Benfica. Apparantly they got a terrible audience for the Benfica game.

AnCapaillMor

i hope they don't do the usual and let Flamini go on a free if he does leave.

As for Gallas as much as i disliked the decision, i think he's the right man, he's vocal enough and will fight for what he thinks right. Henry lacked that, Veiria had it and we missed it. Bert does'nt seem to most vocal guy there, i've great time for him, but Gallas was the correct choice. as for the Chelsea story, would'nt believe a word of it and was surprised Gallas did'nt take it any futher.

We never got top billing though. In the past we've had to put up with watching dead rubbers featuring Man Ure while we've still been involved in the business end of it.

Pepe LeFrits

Line-up:

Almunia
Clichy
Senderos
Toure
Sagna
Hleb
Flamini
Fabregas
Eboue
van Persie
Adebayor

OMG i actually get to watch a match in the comfort of my own home and on a television!:eek:

cson

Not been much comfort thus far. Two shocking misses by Fabregas and Ade, echoes of last season tbh, Steau have 10 behind the ball all the time now too, though they've looked dangerous enough when going forward, probably down to our clowning around at the back more than anything though.

PDN

What's Hleb doing in the side? According to Arsene he wasn't able to walk due to Saturday's tackle. Is he playing in a wheelchair?

keano_afc

Recovered quicker than expected, according to arsenal.com. RVP has us one up. We've made hard work of it in the 2nd half.

AnCapaillMor

Alrite dunphys beginning to scare me.

cson

Banging on about how good we are again?

I think he's going to make a religion out of us.

God the feed from Bucharest was awful tonight, i couldn't watch it.

anyone notice this today? he will certainly not be a sugar daddy. he's a scary git, this just reconfirms everyone's fears from all the speculation really... hopefully the board will be able to prevent him from buying them out long enough for him to get bored with the whole idea.

AnCapaillMor

I'm afraid he'll try and eat the Emirates.

Galvasean

Predictions for tomorrows game? Ill go for 2 -0 to Arsenal.

~Rebel~

I think 1-0 to Arsenal. Sunderland wont offer much going forward, but they'll be steadfast and resiliant in defence. Keane might have them an extra little bit fired up for this one as well

Royale with Cheese

3-2 to Sunderland.

leninbenjamin

i think a score draw, maybe 1 - 1 is on the cards.

Nunu

I have a real feeling a shock is on the cards tommorrow. Probably just the Keane factor clouding my judgement though.

0-1 Sunderland or score draw.

DSB

4-1 Arsenal.

2-0 to Arsenal.

I agree the Keane factor might play a part though, so make that 2-0 to Arsenal with Sunderland having two men sent off for dirty tackles.

PHB

I'm going for 4-0 to Arsenal I think the Sunderland defense is very weak now without Anderson.

PHB

Looking like I'm going to be right

I can't help but feel weird. Like I want Arsenal to lose so United can go top, but at the same time, I can't help but cheer them on cause of how they play. It's a funny situation

Pacifico

Did someone get sent off?

edit: nvm booking

Pacifico

2-0 Senderos
