Random Arsenal Shit (When it's not worth starting a thread)

[Marc Overmars]

The squad has been stripped of so much talent we're now left with players who might be good in their own right but do not have a competitive edge. We used to be 1 or 2 players short from being very competitive, now we are at least 4 or 5 away.

[BOBN]

No why would you? The 99.9% are wrong.


Well about 60%+ of these call it for what it is (wilshere being a weak link) http://arsenal-mania.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=308742
But nah lets listen to the motd watchers over at redcafe :haha:

But im impressed at that thread. Accurate analysis taking precedence over the blind worship of a child. We need to be more like them friends.

[IBK]

am seeing ramsey's name pop up as a deadwood player etc, but am i the only one who thinks that since january he has improved massively and has been one of better performers recently?

Nope. I don;t like him on the right, but in DM he is improving. Once a scapegoat always a scapegoat, though.

Another point is that Ramsey, like Oxlade is IMO suffering from the manager's lack of coaching skills, and the fact that there are few decent senior players to learn from.

Whatever it is with Ramsey, he hurts the team. We need a player who can retain possession under pressure and in tight spaces. Not somebody who is immediately thinking of the pass back before the ball comes near him. It's his first instinct to be negative. And he dwells on the ball too often getting into trouble. No doubt he tries, you can see that. But he doesn't have the tools. Whether it's a mental thing or he really has just regressed as a footballer I don't know, but I don know he shouldn't be on the pitch. Of course the same could be said for most of them, but few are as consistently poor.

I have just read the thread and most are not saying Wilshere is a weak link but that it's an unbalanced midfield with both Cazorla and Wilshere in the centre. Which even I agree with and have been saying. Some are saying we need a better CDM/DM than Arteta and some are saying it's a matter of size and getting physically over-run.

The whole 'going against the grain' stuff has been done to far greater effect. Last season you were talking about how the rest of the team were carrying Cesc, how he's a fraud and basically a forward that Flamini carried. Today you say the opposite. To improve I think you need to defend and keep track of your "Gervinho has already proved he's better than Nasri" car-crashes. Because the key to being a know it all is consistent consistency consistently - especially if you're going to criticise others for inconsistency. e.g. who have changed from supporting-to-criticising the Vermaelen captaincy decision, say.

Cesc a fraud? :lol: You dont have to lie friend.

He was essentially a forward who didnt pull his weight defensively. Its just by some quirk flamini was able to do the work of two men (notice I said that earlier, and yeah it is a dig at cesc). But flaminis are more rare than people thing. Plus hes never matched that season before and since.

We then pushed fab into the AM role and then he put up beastly numbers because he had world class passing/vision. Tell me about these contradictions?

Wilshere has more natual tenacity than cesc and less passing ability/vision. we should be able to turn him into an effective workhorse midfielder/goon. a more technical version of lee cattemole. I remember capello tried to get him to hold but the press wouldnt let him :lol: id love capello as our manager.

oh and nasri is trash and hated in manchester. A so called small club sees through nothing players way quicker than us. best deal wenger ever did getting rid.

"correct. practically a centre-forward. a position he could never get away with in a good league."

"Yep, honestly fabregas was always an overrated player. Players who can pass well and thats it are a dime a dozen on the continent. Its just we're not used to it in this country."

"this fraud got called out on his headless-chickenness within 6 weeks. just shows how clueless the average fan is really (how many arsenal fans called him the best midfielder in the world while he was here?"

"yep, ramsey seems so and arteta and wilshere definitely are more rounded players and we will be better for it. we already seem much more solid now players have settled.

"if we can add a stellar, specialist number 10 type player such as a gotze, erikksen, ozil type we will be flying (rather than shunting a CM forward who wasnt a natural in that role like we did with cesc simply because he couldnt cut it anywhere else)"

were all said by you. And it's fine to go against what you've been saying. I'm guessing everyone changes their opinions at some point. But if you're going to be so critical of others for the same sort of thing it doesn't really add up.

We'd have Nasri here right now as a wide player over Gervinho. Much of the problems with building moves and momentum would be helped if we can pass the ball forward to players who can keep it.

thats alot of quotes but youre not really breaking down the actual contradictions. using powerful terms is not contradiction. The mistake I made was assuming arsenal could develop young players like ramsey and wilshere to their full potential :lol:

As for cesc, yeah, hes overrated and has been called out in barca for his lack of tactical nous. and you know hes been dropped right? people said hes the best AM the world, well, hes proving that impossible right now. just because hes too good for us doesnt suddenly make him a truely top player.

Youre rushing to find quotes but youre failing to join the dots. Breathe friend.

Nasri is shit and will be back in france on loan next year. Only tippy-tappy obsessed arsenal fans could think otherwise.

I'm (almost) with you on Cesc. But this isn't the point. If you're not seeing the contradictions, it's because you don't want to. You've just said you made a mistake, which in this case means you said something but now feel differently. You're effectively having to create levels between 'shit' and 'shit'. A player who is 'dime-a-dozen on the continent' but also a 'world class passer' who can notch up 'beastly numbers'. Even supposing Nasri's shit, is Gervinho really any better? Because you're not forced into commenting on these things, you're trying to avoid where (unbelievably!) you've got it wrong. You're just like us, my friend - the same idiots you criticise.

Nope, still not seeing the contradictions.

Btw cesc can deliver a world class final ball but he dont pass like xavi and them. He cant keep the ball moving in the middle third like they do at barca. Hes world class at certain things. Just like walcott has world class pace. I guess that means I think walcott is the best player in the universe now huh? :lol:

You tried extra hard with the nasri one so im sorry its not paid off friend :haha: too bad gervinho has outperformed him in goals/assists this season.

If im going at people its for clear cut cases. Saying a fruad like vermalean should wear the armband is clearcut cluelessness. you are in here trying to suggest nasri is something other than one purple patch having, ball shirking, coward of a nothing player. You need me to be wrong so bad huh? :wave:

Here is the player who made me look a fool and who syn wants back

http://forums.bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=273363

of course nasri was on the untouchables list for a while here so it takes city fans who dont go in for all that nonsense to accurately assess a player. they have the mentality to support a big club.

this is a quote from nasri in an interview coming out on twitter now from BelIN sport.


Nasri :"Cesc or me were supposed to leave. AW told me that if Cesc would leave, I would stay. But Kroenke wanted the money"

if thats true, and i cant see any reason this interview is fake, given how some journalists are tweeting it, then its a huge quote and tells us a lot. its kronkes fault.


and if you remember the wenger quote of if you lose nasri and cesc you cant convince others you are ambitious. perhaps nasri did want to stay, it wasnt money but kronke wanted money and kicked him out.

I believe the quote was if we sell both, we can't be called a big club

Twitter :lol:

Do not forget today is April Fools day as well.

I'll wait for bbc or skysports to authenticate this very authentic and reliable twitter report. If my memory serves me right, I remember very well Nasri mentioning that he let AW know that he wants to leave in July before our pre-season began but AW dragged the whole shit on for another month and half till we were left to the bare bones.

[Cripps_orig]

Tbf Nasri did play for us despite being on the verge of leaving as we were down to the bare bones. He could have done a Cesc and feigned injury and refuse to play and then join a **** team and play for them 2 days later.

That's why all true gooners respect Nasri and think Cesc is a ****

Anyway don't know if the story is true or not about Kroenke but sounds like him

and if you remember the wenger quote of if you lose nasri and cesc you cant convince others you are ambitious. perhaps nasri did want to stay, it wasnt money but kronke wanted money and kicked him out.

ffs Ollie.

Why would you believe a word he says?

[Marc Overmars]

We did well to cash in on the gutless wonder anyway, 25m for a fairweather like him was great business. The problem as ever, was that we did not sufficiently plan and compensate after his sale.

I would always advocate cashing in on players in their last year who don't want to be here, the exception being RVC because he was the best player in the league and near enough impossible to replace.

[Globalgunner]

Has anyone else noted that Jordan Henderson is a better striker than Giroud, Chamak and Gervinho. Also Steven Gerrard is better keeping with his head than all our keepers are with their hands

I have noticed Gervinho has a massive forehead, whether this would make him a good keep I don't know, but I say let's try it.

Is it true ? Probably .

But then again Wenger is being paid £7m+ a year, and a main part of that is to listen to orders, make a profit on players and get 4th each year.

Of course the owner wanted him sold.

The little gobshite wouldn't sigh a new contract and offered fuckall on the pitch anyway.

Luckily we managed to rob City blind for him.

Samir Nasri: I don’t regret quitting Arsenal for Manchester City

Samir Nasri insists he does not regret his decision to leave Arsenal and join Manchester City despite a difficult season


“I don’t regret leaving Arsenal. I won the league while Arsenal have difficulty finishing fourth,” Nasri told beIN Sport.
“Arsène Wenger is the greatest coach I have worked with. I only regret not having more discussions with Wenger when I left [for Manchester City].
“I am aware that I have not had a good season...."

Time to come home, Lezbo. All is forgiven.

[Cripps_orig]

Would be great to have him back

[Kano]

4 good months in 5 years. what a star.

[Marc Overmars]

So there you go, mirror, guardian all reporting the Nasri quotes now. Really throws a different light on situation. It may not be true, however I think it is. Krone can fuck off

He should fuck off for sanctioning the sale of a horrifically overrated player? If we kept Nasri we may never have gone on to sign someone like Catzola.

[Power n Glory]

It would have been stupid to let Nasri walk on a free and if Wenger was considering that then Kronke was right to check him. Our policy sucks when it comes to transfers but I would have been pissed if we allowed Nasri to walk on a free. He's not a vital key player or leader.

[Marc Overmars]

Nazree is a nothing player. Just another troublesome waster who'll spend the remainder of his career club hopping and turning up to play when the weather is good.

[Power n Glory]

He really isn't. This is Santi's debut season and he's already on 12 goals and 12 assists. This a very weak Arsenal side and Santi should get better in time. He has too many moments where he drifts in and out of games but Nasri was just as bad and would coast or hide.

[Letters]

Nasri is better tbh

nas managed 12 goals in 166 games :lol:

[Grebbo]

Nasri could be a great player but he's just too damn ugly. We were a great team when we had handsome players :cloud9:

[Syn]

Of course Nasri isn't better than Cazorla, but as much as we'd like to shit on Nasri for a good 'half a season', that half a season was pretty fucking spectacular. He was absolutely killing in at a Van Persie-esque levels. It's true he hasn't managed to find that since moving to Man City but that's because moving there was a stupid choice. Wenger might have ruined your lives but there's little doubt he is fantastic at turning promising young players into world class players. And Nasri's potential was/is incredible. I rated his natural talent a lot more than Cesc's when they were both here. Just a shame he pissed it all away by being blinded by cash.

[Kano]

potential is potential. we've all seen it a million times. having the strength of mind to turn that into something tangible is an entirely different ball game. thousands of kids win contracts based on potential. plenty of flash in the pan footballers have wonder seasons, never to be seen again. nasri managed to disappear at arsenal way before doing so at man city, alongside continually floundering at international level. only a blessed few have ever made a high level career to be remembered based on natural talent.

[Cripps_orig]

Gervinho/10...
Damn that's low.

You could argue that in a weak Arsenal side there's more focus on him and therefore he'll get more time on the ball to score and assist (that's what tends to happen to the better players in a team).

People have pointed out he goes missing in big games when it's not so easy to stamp your authority.

I rate him incidentally, but don't know why we're comparing Nasri to Cazorla, Cazorla didn't come in to replace Nasri.

[Cripps_orig]

Don't understand the hatred towards Nasri here. He says he didn't leave for money. We have no reason not to believe him. He played for us just days before he left when he could have easily said no like a certain Spanish former captain **** of ours who all this hatred should be directed at. Well him and a Dutch **** in Manchester.

I understand the bitterness fans have though so il put it down to that. Fortunately I'm a little bit older and wiser

But it wasn't vela-type score hat tricks against shit stuff. He was actually brilliant for that (fairly long) period. So he was realising that potential the same way someone like Walcott (same age) is. Theo has made the right choice by staying and he is more likely to realise whatever potential he had because, as I say, Wenger is the best around at that. Nasri just made a stupid move. Maybe he is now saying he was sold and wanted to stay...maybe it's a similar situation to Walcott in that he wanted more money. We found a buyer so got rid in Nasri's case. If someone came in with a £25m bid for Walcott we might've got rid, but luckily no-one did.

Nasri is younger tbh and at 27 or however old Santi is atm, Nasri will be better.

Cazorla has done a decent job but he was a bit shit in Spain and for Spain. This is his best season ever and he won't even get a look in for the awards at the end of the season which Nasri did.

Ultimately all of us would take Nasri back ASAP. People will deny it just to try to prove me wrong when all they are doing is making themselves look foolish

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Ample room in our squad for both to weave their magic on the pitch simultaneously, tbh.

he hasn't even come close to anything like those few months he showed back in 2010/11. nothing approaching it. his development may have been affected transferring as he did but the very best will find a way to develop, with or without a manager that has that innate ability to do so. going to man city for whatever reason still gave him the opportunities to display at least some of the ability that won him that move but we haven't seen a drop. nada. i'm more likely to believe he is one of many footballers who look like world beaters in a crap league (France), do something for a short period elsewhere then go back to their level later on.

Nasri has the potential to be an awesome player but it’s not a given. He’ll have to adjust his attitude because it’s easy for players to fall off if they’re not mentally focussed. As for Cazorla, I won’t act as if he’s been a sensation for us this season because he hasn’t. He needs to work on his fitness and really stamp his authority in a game for 90 minutes. But he’s playing in a really poor Arsenal side and this is his first season. But I think he has the potential to get better and because he hasn’t had much recognition in his career, I think he’s mature enough to stay focussed and get better.

[Niall_Quinn]

Nasri is a whore and like all whores he's not loved, everyone is aware of the contract in place and aware a whore like this will fuck anyone for the right amount of money. Shits like Nasri occupy the street corners of football, selling their arse to street traffic. They know it too, which is why his type amounts to nothing. You can't be whoring yourself everywhere and expect to build a lasting reputation anywhere. Who will remember any of the whores at city? Think about it. In a decade who'll remember Nasri or Silva or Milner (lol)? Even the chavs have more class than these ****s. Lampard, Terry, loathe them but they are part of the history of the club now. There's not a single city **** worth the mention in terms of history, tradition. Nasri is in the perfect place, a whore in a brothel.

But I think he has the potential to get better and because he hasn’t had much recognition in his career, I think he’s mature enough to stay focussed and get better.Nasri hasn't had the best of seasons tbh but last season he was pretty good. Not at the level of how he was for us but he won a league medal at the end of the season so I wonder which season he prefers. He's been in and out f the team due to the major influx of players in that team and that hasn't helped whereas here he was pretty much a starter as he was our best midfielder even more so than the Barca ****. That helped him produce his best form as it would anyone. He is IMO a quality player already.

As for Cazorla, I hope he improves, of course I do but at his age, it's unlikely. He's hit a ceiling IMO of how good he can be and this is it. We might see another season or 2 like this then he will gradually lose his edge.

It's one of the reasons why I'd much rather have a Mata or a Hazard. 2 players we were strongly linked with but too cheap to get. Younger and already a level above Cazorla and will improve.

[Power n Glory]

I think Cazorla can improve at his age. How old was Pires when he arrived? Some players get better with age.

[Cripps_orig]

Lets hope so.

Blatantly obvious the way this profiteering bastard Kroenke goes around fleecing sporting outfits. He needs to GTFO our club NOW!

Don’t be fooled. Nasri is trying to make out as if he didn’t want to leave Arsenal because Mancini has publically criticised him for his poor performances. He’s been kissing Wenger’s ass in the French press saying he’s the best coach he’s worked with just to get back at Mancini. If Kronke advised Wenger to sell then he was right to because it made no sense to let him walk on a free. Let’s not forget that detail. It would have been an utter shambles if he put in the sort of shitty performance we’re seeing from him now and then walking on a free to City.

Not that I'm being fooled, but we pretty much became a selling club since the advent of one Stan Kroenke.

We've seen profits at the expense of success, and both have been and are still being treated as mutually exclusive. As I've posited before, it's a lazy short term approach ensuring quick turn around on owner investment.

Fuck off Stan!

[Cripps_orig]

Then it's a simple case of telling him Barca aren't paying what we want so he either stfu and plays for us or he can go elsewhere.

Football is littered with transfers of players who want to go to a specific club but end up going elsewhere. Cesc is nothing special to think he could be different. Unfortunately Wenger bends over for Barca time and time again

I don't quite remember how long a contract the **** had remaining, but he'd then probably see it out and then move there on the free.

I still say if he wanted to leave that badly for his boyhood club to the point where it started to affect his performances for us, and shit was being stirred by the Barca ****s to unsettle things and force a move, then yes, sell the ****. Price not being right is another story, but maybe Wenger genuinely thought that he wasn't worth much more - seems he's been proven right as Cesc has been a bit shit in a Barca shirt.

We were a selling club before Stan. We sold Overmars, Petit and Anelka in back to back seasons during the Highbury years. When the big clubs come knocking we often to buckle. We eventually sold Vieria, Henry and Cole …Flamini, Ade and Hleb….we always end up selling our best players. It’s not anything new.

There's a big difference I think. We used to sell based on age or because we'd taken a relatively obscure/ out of favour player and turned him into a hot item. In then end clubs like Barca and Madrid have a bigger pull than Arsenal (plus more cash of course) so we lost some players in those directions. Since the great stadium rip-off we've been selling for financial reasons. It has obviously been part of the plan and the quality of the team has collapsed as a result. It's unpardonable. Kroenke has zero excuses for his behaviour. An utter **** who has sunk his money into the previous rats but refused to invest a penny in the club itself. Wait and see how much this **** walks out the door with.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

But those players (Petit, Overmars, Anelka) were adequately replaced, yes? And we went on to even greater things post them. Now, since Stan's arrival, we've only sold our top top quality, making us well and truly adopt a feeder club status.

Every club sells, but there is a difference between top clubs and minnows in how they handle player sales and purchases.

[IBK]

Na$ri = Adebawhore, and will end up the same. Why do both players seem obsessed with talking about AFC? Because they both know that in terms of their development they jumped ship too soon.

Kroenke has been here since 2011 as an owner.. we have been shit and selling our players before that. It's just lazy excuse to blame Kroenke for everything. He is probably the reason why there was a global recession, cancer, Aids etc :rolleyes:

Exactly. We sold Cole, Henry, Reyes, Hleb, Flamini, Adebayor, Toure....that's all before Kronke. We were on a downward spiral before he arrived and why players like Henry, Pires and Ljungberg were unhappy with our transfer policy. If you go back and read their quotes and complaints about the club, it's deja vu. They weren't happy with the youth policy. We can't forget Henry's outburst before the Spurs game about SWP or Gallas saying we needed experience. Freddie took a swipe at the policy before he left for West Ham. The Cesc and Nasri sales were pretty similar to the Flamini and Hleb sales. It kicked the wind out of the team caused serious problems and Wenger had to rebuild the team again. The same way we looked flat and void of life back then after nearly winning the league is the same we started off last season and this season. The transfer activity has been a lot different compared to what we used to do. Wenger would promote the kids after a sale but that isn't happening anymore because the well is dry.

Stan was drawn to the club and attracted because of the model that was put in place as soon as we set our eyes to moving to a bigger stadium. It was a massive con and exactly why we started to stockpile young talented players and invest heavily into our youth team/training facilities. I can agree with that but he's only been in charge since 2011. You can say we used sell on age back during the Highbury years, true to an extent, but the average age of the team has gone down and guys like Cesc and RVP have played more seasons for us than guys like Sol, Ljunberg and Pires. They were deeply unsatisfied players and wanted out. None of us here believes for a second that Kronke knocked on their doors and said they're being sold to balance the books, do we? I'm not buying the BS Nasri is trying to spin.

[Özim]

Yes but Wenger still bought projects who weren't entirely proven, difference is in those days he had an advantage in the French market, nowadays he doesn't and his replacements just aren't up to scratch.

I don't think much has changed in that sense.

Ok.. but was his involvement good enough to make changes in the clubs transfer policy? Selling our best players, youth policy, haggling over 5K (Cashley C*nt) has been there much before his arrival. While I agree, he hasnt done anything positive for the club, I do not think he has done anything overtly negative after his arrival either. He is exactly what he is called, silent Stan.

Silent, as in, "Spend some fucking money!"... silence...

It's not just about what Kroenke was doing prior to 2011, it's also about how the last lot of rats were preparing the club for takeover. Again, they didn't wake up one morning and decide to sell. Try to picture the number of ambulance chasers stuck in a room hammering out the deal over an eternity. There was half a billion quid in play, there won't be any uncrossed t's when that amount of cash is involved. The only saving grace was he didn't get the rats to borrow half a billion quid to lend to him to pay them. The rats are just as guilty, and the bastards even hung on to leech some extra cash and free seats (at least the few that weren't stabbed up during the bloodbath).

Recall how much the rats initially invested. It's the same with Kroenke, he hasn't really put anything in at all. He knows he's getting plenty more back. Again, stuff like the improved TV revenues, that sort of shit is known well in advance. Insider trading they call it. It's how business is actually done, rather than being singular as it's painted in the media (who are owned by corporations and advertisers so never kick up a fuss). For Kroenke this is like putting money in the Bank of Arsenal with the only practical difference being he'll earn ridiculous levels of interest while the typical bank saver gets a zero percent return. These guys are crooks. They risk nothing and take everything. They make their bullshit legal by cosying up to other crooks in the legal profession who make it "respectable" for them to go about their thieving.

All of this would maybe be bearable if only the ****s kicked something back, even a token gesture. But nothing. Fuck all. It's all take. Saying Kroenke is okay because he's done nothing overtly detrimental is like saying a doctor who sits there and lets a patient die because he wants the blood and organs is okay, after all he hasn't intervened right?

Andrey Arshavin is considering retiring from football at the end of the season.

The Arsenal midfielder turns 32 next month and is in the final two months of the contract he signed when arriving from Zenit St Petersburg for a club record £15million in February 2009.

The Gunners have no interest in offering Arshavin a new deal and Standard Sport can reveal the Russia international has grown so disillusioned with both the absence of viable alternatives and the game itself that he is contemplating walking away altogether.

It is believed that Arshavin split from his wife Julia around the time she gave birth to their third child — a boy — last year. He is still thought to be in regular contact for the sake of their family but is now dating an Englishwoman and spending most of his time in Hampstead.

Arshavin is keen to remain in London but appears to have lost his appetite for football after finding himself frozen out at Emirates Stadium.

It is understood that no clubs have enquired about his services despite Arshavin being able to talk to other teams from January — reports last week of interest from Los Angeles Galaxy were inaccurate — and consequently he faces a decidedly uncertain future.

His availability has been widely circulated by Arsenal during the last four transfer windows but the lack of interest is thought to centre partly on his high wages, which equate to around £95,000 a week.

At the end of the 2010-11 season, Arshavin held talks with manager Arsene Wenger, who indicated that he would not be considered a first-team regular but was welcome to stay and fight for his place. He took up the invitation but found first-team appearances hard to come by.

It became clear Arshavin would need to leave the club to secure regular action to ensure his match fitness ahead of Euro 2012.

Zenit were reluctant to buy Arshavin but eventually agreed a six-month loan for a £1m fee that temporarily satisfied all parties. However, he returned to Arsenal last summer and despite Wenger deeming him surplus to requirements, Arshavin once again opted to stay.

But he has started only two matches this season — both in the Capital One Cup against Coventry and Reading — prompting Arsenal’s attempts to once again move him on in January to help reduce a wage bill that was sent spiralling by several new contracts handed to players including Jack Wilshere and Theo Walcott.

Arshavin was available for as little as £1m by this stage but only Reading made a concrete offer and the player declined the move to the Madejski Stadium, privately declaring he was unwilling to play for a club at the bottom end of the Premier League.

Sources close to Arshavin suggest he may continue with another club next season should a suitable offer arise but that at present interest in taking the player “couldn’t be colder”.

Arshavin is, therefore, giving serious thought to hanging up his boots rather than playing for a smaller club in England, and with Zenit unwilling to re-sign him for a third time, he remains hopeful of an offer from another London club.

There will be some Arsenal supporters cynically greeting the news Arshavin is pondering retirement with the response that they thought he already had. His present malaise is a spectacular fall from grace for a player who burst into English football during his first six months. Arshavin’s most memorable contribution came against Liverpool in April 2009 when he scored all four goals in a dramatic 4-4 draw at Anfield.

Building on an impressive series of performances at Euro 2008, Arshavin appeared ready to take the Premier League by storm but his effectiveness gradually eroded.

Sources close to the Arsenal squad argue he was played out of position by Wenger too often, frequently starting on the left flank and asked to track back in a manner to which he was unaccustomed.

Arshavin also spent a brief spell playing as a centre-forward during an injury crisis at the club and there was a sense he was never truly comfortable in Wenger’s system.

His critics complained about a lack of fitness and work rate and he has occasionally become a scapegoat for the team’s underperformance — Arshavin’s introduction as a substitute and then failure to prevent Manchester United’s winning goal in a 2-1 home defeat in January last year earned him the wrath of the Emirates faithful and stands out as one of the lowest points of his career.

Effective displays for Russia at Euro 2012 proved flashes of quality remain and surely there will be a club ready to take a chance on him but for now, at least, Arshavin appears ready to walk away from it all.

sadly, how much he spends won't make a blind bit of difference.

[Özim]

Can't see Wenger spending, it seems to go against his make-up. He seems to like bargains and players he can't mould, the only exceptions seem to be when he panic buys.

The way I see it he's had plenty of opportunities to spend money on the right players, invariably he's not done so and won't ever.

I can't see any major signings unless we change our wage structure. As Perry Groves said, Wenger won't go past the £10m mark for a player. It's probably best he stays in the second tier market when you look at the high profile flops we've bought.

[Niall_Quinn]

Says Wenger still has fire in his belly and will sign big this Summer.

The usual then. I have a feeling we might spend some money too. They can't flog the shite, have nobody left to sell of significant value who's out of contract. So there could be a genuine spend this summer as opposed to the usual profit. Anything more than minus 5mill quid will be big for us.

Not for long hopefully. It's one of the reasons why we have kept the season ticket. Wengers reign of terror is surely coming to an end. Possibly just next season left and then we have our Arsenal back.

A mate sent me this e-mail this morning. Not sure where it came from, but it was entitled, "Can You Feel the Love?


Piers Morgan is a terrible human being. Or at least I think so. He also purports to be an Arsenal fan. I too am an Arsenal fan. I am ashamed to have anything in common with him.

When Arsenal are victorious, Piers Morgan is happy, shamelessly gloating in his own inimitable way. And by inimitable I mean extraordinarily smug. The man oozes smugness like herpes-ridden genitals ooze pus. So I'm told.

Yet he equally revels in an Arsenal defeat. Such an outcome adds weight to his self-important standpoint on the club. Therefore, no matter what the outcome, Piers Morgan will both win and lose simultaneously. He exists in an uncertain quantum state, like Schrödinger's cat. I say 'cat'. The word I wanted to use, also starting with 'c' and ending with 't', was pre-emptively censored by the editor. I was told that I swear too often. Suffice to say, Piers Morgan is a cat. A f*cking massive cat.

On the nineteenth of November, 2011, he tweeted:

'No pressure @Persie_Official - but if you leave #Arsenal then I'm going to throw myself off Santa Monica pier in lead weights.'*

This made me think two things. Firstly, not only would the lack of investment, ambition and trophies be motivation enough for Robin van Persie to leave Arsenal, but now Morgan was further incentivising his inevitable departure. The second thing I thought about was how would I like to see Piers Morgan die?

It would require a certain amount of legal tweaking, not least the reinstating of capital punishment and the reclassification of certain crimes, but if he can make a career as a "journalist and television host", then anything is possible.

His execution would have to be televised. Contrary to what Gil Scott-Heron believed, I think it's safe to say that the revolution will be on the box, and this could be the start of it all. Before people complain that this idea is incredibly offensive, may I remind them that they are the self-same people who sit on their sofas and, without any form of resistance, allow Head and Shoulders to sh*t directly into their eyes with that Joe Hart monstrosity.

The obvious choice of channel to air the execution would be ITV, as it would suit their sensationalist sh*tbaggery, but I'm guessing that they probably wouldn't go for it. What with them being the UK channel that exclusively peddles his piffle. Plus with the Killing Of George Bush, a mockumentary about a fictional assassination of a real-life US president, and The Execution of Gary Glitter, a drama-documentary which vividly envisioned the trial and subsequent capital punishment of pop's second most reviled sex offender, the Channel 4 family has established itself as the home of thought-provoking celebrity death fantasies. Now they've whacked a head of state and strangled a paedo, what next? It's either Morgan or Griffin. And this time they can make it real. Of course Rick Edwards will present it.

As for the question of how? Simply Google "Brazen bull". Bingo.

Now imagine a world without Piers Morgan. Lovely, isn't it?

Now you may say that I'm a dreamer. But I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join me. And we all can kill Morgan.

I've already written the theme tune.

This started as a piece on the ignorant tribalism of football, but where's the fun in that when you can concentrate on imagining the demise of the people's perineum©? You might have already guessed this, but I despise Piers Morgan and all he stands for, and the fact that he supports the same football team as me does not make a shred of difference. If you genuinely make life choices based on the footballing allegiance of a fellow human being then you are an imbecile.

You are the sort of imbecile who refuses to wear any clothing of a particular colour, simply because it is the same hue worn by your rivals. The sort of imbecile that refuses to donate to Comic Relief because the children clamouring around a rapidly-emptying African well are bedecked in replica Chelsea shirts. The sort of imbecile who loudly proclaimed to feel less sympathy for Holly & Jessica because of their matching Manchester United strips. Unfortunately I have met all these imbeciles. They all support the same club as me.

And don't even get me started on Dappy.

*Robin van Persie left Arsenal in the summer of 2012 and signed for Manchester United. At the time of writing Piers Morgan is yet to honour his promise.
