Arsenal

[mrtoad]

well I guess considering....by his standard this ISNT

(we are comparing with benchmark of 3 years or somefin like that....)

I have a benchmark?????

[MSingh]

Well, I say it's an open market. Not every player in Arsenal is French, otherwise it would be Arsenal who played Ireland, not France. It's team building that makes it interesting. Not team buying like Chelsea few years back, or Man City as we see now.

Of course you would, you're an Arsenal Fan & probably don't give a monkeys about the English National Team, unlike me..

seems the toady is being tardy and is not reading my replies!!

You mean the one's that enabled us to establish.....................Oh never mind..

1-1 V Chelsea, score draw written all over it, with a Red Card or 2 chicked into the mixer for good measure...

Cesc the Fab said he is happy at Arsenal and is fully committed to the club. Makes me worried a bit. Henry said almost the same thing before he moved to Barca. Touch wood...

4 hours to kick off

dilemma:

do I consume copious amount of chocolates to stay awake

or

do I sleep for 3 hours and wake up for the game......

accepting bets as to which one it will be

(hope thats not against the law? its not considered gambling is it. Im not really accepting anything, just a figure of speech kinda like....suggestions on a postcard )

[Hazri]

Miss Mig, try chewing gum if you want to stay awake. It's gonna be a close one, for sure. Arsenal wins 2-1 is my prediction.

[MiG16]

LOL

I suppose I need to go into hiding again

[Hazri]

Same here Miss Mig.

Oh well. Lets put this match behind us and look to the next one. I really feel Wenger should be looking to make a purchase or two this January to reinforce the team. Only time will tell.

by the way....not new

but here is an interview with Liam Brady, manager of the Arsenal youth academy, its policy etc

Liam was himself a product of the academy....and an Irish man

Thanx for the link Miss Mig.

Did you know arsenal have got a large training complex with all modern facilities purely for the under14s and downwards.

Like i said on another post, it seems that they have a very good scouting network across the world that obviously finds all these good boys and then they add the final touches at the academy (no pun intended) .

Agree, good scouts are essential. I think Fab may not even be in Arsenal today if not for the assessment of the scouts. But then again, it's just my opinion.

I need an update on this new love affair with The Irish.

I wonder if that has something to do with the ' With a Packet of Sweets & a cheeky Smile, Wenger is a.............. " Song that a few Clubs sing about Mr Wenger then Alfredo ??

well according to many Arsenal critics, I should in fact be having an affair with the French, shouldnt I

Well, I'm waiting for the answer.

Carling Cup: Man City 3 - Arsenal 0

Through thick and thin. It's thin now though. Time to concentrate on CL and EPL then.

[MiG16]

i didnt wake up to watch the game

maybe just as well?

or maybe they needed my support

I think they need more than that.

[Hazri]

I think we need that magic healer lady with so many injuries we have. Latest casualty: Theo Walcott. And players who were injured long term like Eduardo and Rosicky, they seem not able to return to top form once they recovered. I have the same concern with VP.

[MiG16]

back on the winning spree

Arsenal 2:0 Stoke

Tom Cruise will be in the first 11 tonight. Don't miss it!

Glad cashly cole doesn't play for u anymore, could have been a real scene in the shower post match.

i'm beginning to fear that arsenal could give us a bit of a kicking on sunday.

[MiG16]

as you should be

[StevieH]

heh. we're not the most mobile side at the moment and all our best players are still getting match fit after injuries. i fear we may just have to boot the crap out of you migs.

[MiG16]

perhaps I can set up a live cam showing my TV screen, and that way we feel like we are watching the game together?

haha

I wont be supplying the beers though I know how you lot drink like fish.....my fridge just isnt big enough

[Hazri]

I think it's going to be a pretty balanced match this weekend. Both teams will be starting without a few key players. It will be a close match, IMO. But i think we'll win this game. We really have to.
