Went to the reserve game tonight that showcased Denilson (debut), Walcott, Merida and others.

I knew you weren't in Nepal!!

Anyway I was just wondering if there's any sign of Carlos Vela yet???

Anthony Stokes scored the other night for Falkirk, that put them through to the CIS Quarter Final's. It was meant to be a peach of a goal, and he has been playing very well recently. Hopefully he'll do well up there, and make the break through next year into the First Team.

It wasn't the great goal I expected but it's a goal nonetheless.

Also, this is from the Falkirk report of the previous match against Aberdeen:

"Stokes, by far Falkirk’s best player, then caused havoc in the Don’s defence, shuffling to the byeline before laying off a ball across goal but it took Twaddle by surprise and the youngster’s shot flew high over the bar to the utter dismay of the home support."

Hehehe, "Strokes".

As far as i know he's loaned to a spanish club(it was celta but they've too many foreigners now), basically all down to work permit problems.

Arturo Lupoli scored a 90 min equaliser for Derby County last night, he came on as a substitute after 47mins, but was then red carded in extra time for a second yellow for shirt pulling.

Although how he got away with blatantly handling the ball for the equaliser I will never know.

MBC · 21-09-2006 01:39PM

I didn't see the goals last nite just read the report on sky. It did say he their was "strong suspicions of handball".

I heard it was for spitting.

Carlos Vela is on loan at 2nd division Spanish club Salamanca, and doing well from what I've heard.

Well he was shown shirt-pulling on the ITV highlights, but it was near the half-way line and the footage of him being given the red was inside the box. Now either the ref played on and then gave him the second yellow, or it was for something else, like spitting. Either way, the shirt-pulling probably warranted a yellow because it was on a counter attack.

Fair enough.

The Arsenal kids all seem to be doing well on loan at the moment. Both Bendtner and Lupoli scored in the CC as subs, bringing their goal tallies to 4 and 3 respectively. Stokes scoring for Falkirk, Muamba getting glowing match reports for the CC match, Gilbert doing well at promotion-chasing Cardiff, and Vela apparently doing well at Salamanca (news about him is a bit thin on the ground tbh).

gosplan · 25-09-2006 04:27PM

Bendtner did it again on the weekend prompting a bit of discussion about him.

All good apart from the 'lets hope he emulates forsell'.

Forsell who?

AnCapaillMor · 25-09-2006 10:35PM

Lets hope Arnesen keeps his hands off him, and lets hope he's not another alliadere, barrett, bentley etc.

Roddy23 · 30-09-2006 03:01PM

Lupoli scores again for Derby. Seems to be doing alright for them now, after a slow start.

Pepe LeFrits · 30-09-2006 03:26PM

5 goals for both Lupoli and Bendtner now so far.

AnCapaillMor · 30-09-2006 05:14PM

Van Persies 2nd goal, f'in hell wow!!!

2 boys doing well over, larssons doing good too. anything on Maumba?

Pepe LeFrits · 30-09-2006 05:17PM

Muamba hasn't played a great deal, heard Steve Bruce singing his praises recently though. The guy on Soccer Saturday who was watching the game today said that the 3 Arsenal kids (all started for Brum) were the only good players on the pitch.

Irish Gunner · 30-09-2006 11:07PM

RVP second goal Wow

Definitely the best so far alright. Commentary there just makes it even better.

Falkirk play Celtic at 2.00 on Setanta if anyone wants to watch Stokes.

eirebhoy · 01-10-2006 01:53PM

Half time and Falkirk have been the better team. Stokes having a great game. He likes to position himself out wide and drift inside. Celtic's defence haven't looked this bad all month and Stokes is the main reason for that.

sgarvan · 02-10-2006 07:42AM

stokes looked very good yesterday.
would of been nice if he had of finished of the move where he sent 2 defenders flying on the 6 yard box

gosplan · 02-10-2006 10:58AM

Looking at the Van Persie clip I found this...

LMFAO at the song, perhaps some of you would have heard it before but I hadn't.

Pepe LeFrits · 04-10-2006 06:47PM

Clichy and Senderos made their reserve comebacks last night, hurrah!

Also Fabregas has admitted that his favourite TV program is Desperate Housewives! Best retract that new contract quick and flog him to Barca in the summer.

Guess he's got an Irish mother or father with a name like that

Pepe LeFrits · 10-10-2006 11:20PM

Walcott's 2 U21 goals against Germany:

http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=w1048836

Bloody hell, that second one is reminscient of a certain Frenchman... indeed, so is the first one.

eirebhoy · 11-10-2006 09:25AM

Excellent goals. I'm actually suprised at that 2nd goal as it definitely looks like he has real quality.

MBC · 11-10-2006 09:41AM

His turn of pace was electric..........looks just as fast as Thierry if not faster.

Just read there on the German Wikipedia (googled Thierry Henry 100 Meter) that Thierry can do a 100meter in 10.80 seconds :eek: . Wonder what Theo would do it in?

Caught the 2nd half of that game last nite, England were under a lot of pressure but when Theo came on he really made a difference.

I'm almost sure that I read somewhere that Theo is faster than Henry. I also believe that Freddie is faster than Henry over 50 metres or thereabouts.

All in all good news for us Gooners

MrJoeSoap · 11-10-2006 02:20PM

Theo was a sprinter in school, remember hearing he could do it in 10 something.
