Arsenal don't appear to be laughing at us anymore!

I feel like I do on here, sometimes...

 

It was DL and a few spuds tagalongs that referred to this ganging up a few pages back PnP, not you.

 

I certainly do not think he is.

And I believe that AFC has made a huge mistake in giving in to the headless chicken, because now there will be dissent in the dressing-room, with every Arsenal player who fancies himself a bit better than he actually is (and that's most of their team) wanting to double his wages.

Let's watch and wait for the AFC implosion. It's going to be very messy, I suspect.

 

Well he certainly wouldn't be an automatic pick at Spurs - although he is playing well at the moment I think Adebayor is better in the central role and Bale better out wide. He would give Lennon, Defoe and Dempsey a challenge though. But I don't think they are on anywhere near £100k

 

I watched the Arsenal-Swansea match on Wed hoping for a bit of schadenfreude. The ground looked around two third full but the 'attendance' (based on tickets sold apparently) was only 2,000 short of capacity. Who are these fans who pay and don't go.

Arsenal were pretty good as it turned out although they needed Wilshire to score to make up for the incompetence of Giroud and Walcott

 

I think they gave away a lot of long term season tickets to companies involved with helping them buid the stadium and I bet they count the players on the pitch too They could probably play a game behind closed doors and still boast an 'attendance' of 40k.

 

Arsenal fans get a number of 'free' cup games with their season ticket, PS.
Their attendance figure has become a running joke with many radio pundits, though.

 

Had a quick look into this......

5 goals and 3 assists came in the League cup, against lowly Coventry and the crazy goalfest against a dire Reading team.

Apart from the 1 goal and assist against Spurs, and the goal against Shalke in the CL, he's not scored or gotten an assist against any of the top 10 sides in the league (also keep in mind his 3 goals and 2 assists against a Newcastle team that threw in the towel)

£100k a week? pffft If he's as good as a lot of Arsenal fans claim him to be, why were the cream of Europe's top teams not throwing contract offers at him since Jan 1st?

 

I'm sure I heard during the match that 58000 tickets were sold, yet the attendance was 50, but if you look at vid highlights of the game! If there capacity is 60 odd there's more than 2000 empty seats, more than 10000 imo, No way were 58000 people in that ground.

 

One can fully understand why so few home supporters turn up to watch AFC, these days. They simply are not delivery value for money, and the fans know it.

 

Just been reading some of the comments on the Gooner board, and many, particularly PESKIE, find it impossible to hide their jealousy that we have the best player in the EPL, Bale. Rather than compliment us, and wish us the best, they scoff and lay bare their envy with predictions that he'll be off, at the end of the Summer, whether we make the CL, or not. PESKIE (and a couple of those other numpties) has even made the mistake of predicting that he'll be off to United, the club he passed over in order to join us

I try not to be too hard on PESKIE, because I know the poor bloke's nerves are shot, watching us creep ever closer to completing the (inevitable) North London Power Shift, season upon season.

It's going to be extremely hard on the likes of PESKIE when they finish outside the top 4 and don't get CL. They probably believe that their greatest humiliation will be us laughing at them, but I doubt many of us will, because we have seen this coming for so long, now, that when it finally arrives (this season, I'm sure), none of us will probably think much about it.

The real worry for the Gooners - a fact that none of them seem to have been brave enough to discuss in a civilised manner - is the devastating effect it will have on their club. With Whinger sacked, and most of their "stars" looking for a quick mercenary-like exit to teams with better prospects, AFC will be in serious danger of spiraling down to mid-table obscurity, like 'Pool have done. A couple of sensible Goons, like Arsenal87, have seen the writing on the wall, but they get shouted down by PESKIE and his perennial rosy-tinted glasses brigade. The end, when it comes for PESKIE, is going to be brutal, cold, and pitiless.

But, instead of ponder on those agonies, it is far easier for the PESKIE-type Gooner to scoff at imaginary scenarios, such as Bale leaving his beloved Spurs.

It is all so very sad. And when it all comes to pass for the Gooner, I will not laugh, I will not cry; I will keep my silence and simply shake my head in a "what did I tell you?" fashion. I will be the bigger man.

Honest.

 

Like ****!...you're gonna be camped on their boards like everyone else! I can see the threads now....Do you think you'll finish even lower next season?...Things to do on Tuesday and Wednesday nights!...Hotels in Eastern Europe!

 

Or to cut a long story short...

"I really hope Spurs finish above Arsenal so I can wind up PISKIE in retaliation for all his winding up that he's done of me".

When you write these posts, wouldn't it also be easier just to type in a little message at the bottom requesting PISKIE to come and comment on it? It would save the effort of typing that tome...

 

You'd have the Gooners believe that I was a charlatan.

 

Probably, but where would the fun be in that?

 

What a ****ing massive

 

I say "almost" because he did actually have one good move in the game, but mostly he was complete 5hite. The times he either lost the ball, failed to take on or beat his man, shot into defenders, or overrun the ball was simply embarrassing for any Englishman.

And that complete tool, Andy Townsend, thought he had a great game!


Having said that, I'm glad that Lennon didn't start, because I want him fresh for when we play the Toon.

And Townsend voting Jack Hampshire MOTM! What the hell for? Yes, he had a solid game, but he wasn't our best player.

Cahill, despite his error that led to Brazil's goal, was odds-on MOTM, for me.

Plus, as much as I rate Ashley Cole, I thought Baines was the more effective player, and he should start ahead of Cole, in every game.

 

Everyone has said both Wilshere and Walcott had great games. And it's pretty much unanimous that Wilshere was MOTM. Can't you just see past your complete hatred of all things Arsenal and accept that we have some decent players

Bale was good for Wales tonight. He makes a difference to the team when he's in form. Look how simple objectivity is!

 

You can't expect the village idiot to talk sense

 

Must admit,I don't agree with Haig's remarks about Wilshire and Walnut last night
