MiG16 Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 as I said elsewhere MrToadie best team, best players, best Manager, best club, best stadium, best (beautiful) football, BUT the worse of luck but yes, pressure must be building on Arsene did I mention Ive met him? we had a nice chat. smart, sharp and very polite ohh and yes, thanks TP. you've always been a good supporter for us. I remember the.. 'which team would you support if not your own' thread. Id love to say that it doesnt matter that we dont win trophies, and to me and a lot of fans Im sure thats the case. but for the club and the commercial interest, this cannot be the case. and well if we get the silverware, no one would say no we dont want them would we Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thithi Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Henry should not be in Barcelona .. he's there just to sit and watch whole game ! he's not going to be a football coach .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jockstar Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Henry plays down England return Barcelona striker Thierry Henry insists he has no regrets about swapping the Premier League for the Nou Camp but admits his former club Arsenal 'are the only team in my heart'. Such sentiments could frustrate Newcastle, the latest club to be linked with a move for the France striker following what has been a largely disappointing season in Spain, as Henry also suggested that the Gunners were the only English side he would return to. But even so, the 30-year-old does not plan on ending his time with Barca in the immediate future. 'I'm happy here at Barcelona. I still have three years of my contract left with Barcelona,' he told BBC's Football Focus. 'I don't regret stuff in my life. Stuff happens for a reason. You don't regret stuff that you thought about. I don't regret it.' 'I'm happy - I don't regret leaving Arsenal. But England...I watch every game that I see on TV. I will always miss it. 'There's only one team in England for me. Everybody knows the love and affection I have for Arsenal. I was so into it, I became a fan. 'There has been since I arrived here a lot of speculation from day one but, hey, go back where? There's only one team for me in my heart. It took me a while to understand what that club, Arsenal, meant.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiG16 Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 and heres Arsene's response to his favorite protege "I read the statement," said the manager. "He said he is happy at Barcelona but if he comes back he will only play at Arsenal. I find that a really very good statement."But although you can never say never, at the moment I do not think about [re-signing him]. "However I still think he has a lot to offer as a player. The whole team in Barcelona has not worked completely this year, they were never in the race for the championship. Every player has been a bit devalued. But I still think he has a lot there." Wenger revealed that Arsenal do NOT have any first option on Henry should he wish to leave the Camp Nou but manager and player are still in close contact. "I don't put buy-out clauses in the contract of the players that I find," he said. "At that level, I don't even ask to put the buy-out clause in because it's unfair. "But I had a chat with him not a long time ago. He watches every Arsenal game and he can give me advice! "When I can, I watch Barcelona because I'm always interested in how he looks, how his sharpness is, in what position he plays. I give him my view about his game. "For me, Thierry is an efficient goalscorer. But Barca have two or three players [like that] there. What was a little bit damaging to his success at Barcelona is that Ronadinho has not turned up this season, so that the one who can play left wing is Thierry. And that's where he plays. But that's not his preferred position and that's not where he is most efficient." source: my default start up website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiG16 Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 ohh someone got in ahead of me with the result but..will still say it Derby 2 : 6 Arsenal good game good game. interestingly, from the Arsenal website, this is what they have to say. (Im an optimist and believe in and support my team all the way, but ermm...Im also a realist at some point, this would be one of those occasion.....) to me the below is rather wishful thinking than anything else Arsenal kept alive their faint, faint chances of a title comeback with a crushing 6-2 victory at relegated Derby County on Monday night.Goals from Nicklas Bendtner, Robin van Persie, Theo Walcott plus a second-half hat-trick from Emmanuel Adebayor were enough to see off Paul Jewell's side. The hosts had looked lively early on but strikes in either period from Jay McEveley and Robert Earnshaw were never enough. Once they had roused themselves from a sluggish start, Arsenal took charge and could have many more goals than the half-dozen they registered. agree with this bit Adebayor's treble, his second against Derby this season, will hog the headlines but Walcott's strike was the highlight of the night as the England international once again took the eye. This victory puts Arsenal four points adrift of two leading teams. Only a rose-tinted optimist would fancy Wenger's men to lift the Premier League trophy at Sunderland on May 11. It would require both Chelsea and Manchester United to fail to register a win in either of their last two games. Both [but?] where there is life there is hope. And Arsenal are still just about registering a pulse in this title race. whoever has written this cant quite make up his mind about whether he wants to say there is or there isnt hope I assume its a guy that wrote it...Richard Clarke sounds like a guy's name source: Arsenal.com text in blue within the quote is me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiG16 Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 kinda cheesy...but why not...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXWQIIQVdW8 slightly better one is this for Arsene and ofcourse the one with the most appropriate title: For the fans of the worlds greatest football club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiG16 Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 Arsene's prematch interview from arsenal.com some of you will love what he has to say: "The Premier League was very tight but we want to focus on finishing well now," the 58-year-old. "We have played well the whole season and we don't think we have been rewarded for the efforts we have put in. We have been consistent, losing just three games, and nobody expected us to do that at the start of the year. "I think Manchester United will win the title and they will be worthy winners. Chelsea have a disadvantage right now because of course they depend on the result of their opponents." ................................. If Arsenal avoid defeat at Emirates Stadium they will complete an unbeaten season at home. It would also take their record at their new ground to 55 games with just one defeat - an enviable record. For Wenger, it is just another reason to be cheerful rather than fearful. "The overall quality of the season has been absolutely outstanding," he said. "Because it is without a trophy - by that I mean the Champions League and the Premier League - people are very negative. ................... "We have to improve our killer instinct at the crucial stage of the season but you must believe in this team because I feel that they are very special.".
