I got two, bargain at that price. We earn more down here, y'see. If the market wants £160,00 0 executive boxes, Arsenal would be foolish not to sell them at that price. It's an expensive business building in London.

Actually, Ashburton Grove should mean I get to more games, since the season ticket waiting list is longer than most Ice Ages. Mind you, the club is offering them as a priority to local residents, which I think is excellent.

Ho ho ho. Actually, the new ground is going up at a hell of a lick - makes Wembley look like a badly run overpriced bit of nonsense (although that arch really can be seen from a long way off - looks like the London Eye after Johnny Vegas went on it).

Doughty Out

Invest some money in the squad or get the hell out of my football club.

Isn't life in the Coke Championship (no not Rio) great?

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

what a result yesterday.. was expecting to loose but Palace had 2 good chances in the first 5 mins then they had a player sent off. Should have won 6-0 or more and was denied a certain pen. Great game and we finally played some decent football.

Off the bottom of the table and on our way now.

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

I wouldn't quite go that far! 2-0 was a fine enough result. I remember Palace's last Premiership victory, I was working with a guy who was a Palace fan in the season that Arsenal finished top and Palace finished bottom - we effectively infected each other with a liking for each other's club. Since then I've had a soft spot for the Eagles, so well done to them.

Mind you, the most boring game I've ever seen was Arsenal 0 Palace 0 in the FA Cup.

Re: [Merged] - Football talk

I shall be wearing my Wales shirt with pride this afternoon watching the match at Gatwick airport (hopefully!)

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

Hmmm will have to wear my England top then :p: Will refrain from posting the score that I think will occur as I don't want to cause any additional upset to the Welsh supporter that is due to fly out on holiday today ;)










3-1 to England ;) If someone reminds David James etc that they are playing for their country and not their pocket money :mad:

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

Lol, at last a day when I can watch football without thinking how unbelievably shi'ite my team are... :) :(

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

So what was the score, in the England v Wales match then? ;)

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

Good Performance by England, for me man of the match was Nicky Butt, he looked like a new player.
Wonderful Beckham goal too.

England 2 Wales 0

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

You're obviously not a Wales fan, then :)

Thought England looked like a new side - probably the Rooney effect. I reckon Beckham deliberately got himself booked though, he looked totally crocked when he went off. Great goal though! England were astonishingly wasteful for an hour though.

Was Giggs playing?

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

No, a forest fan :(

Yes Giggs did play, he played well (for a Welsh player lol)

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

i enjoyed the game , and we won...sorted
i am not biased at all ;) but the best players on the pitch were all manu or ex manu.
becks had a great game and so did owen , butt and neville
rio and the roon were both awesome
ashley cole had a great game and so did sol campbell (apart from him still going up for corners and wasting around six scoring chances a game).
on the minus side...
lampard had a good first 3 minutes then i never saw him again.
defoe or default?
and the taffs.......
giggsy had a good game , bellamy was useful at times and jones was brilliant in goal
bring on azjerbi..adjarbudg.....daddybyby.....whatever they are called

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

Er. OK. You're not biased. Lampard, Cole and Campbell were all excellent* for England, Gabbidon and Jones were Wales' best players. Not a lot of Man U in them. Wales were, I'm afraid, total cack apart from the above pair. Including Ryan 'Disappearing Act' Giggs.

Man U/ex Man U players involved: Rooney, Smith, Neville, Ferdinand, Giggs, Butt, Beckham. That's seven out of twenty seven players who played. Not a total surprise, but the best players on the pitch were certainly not all Man U.

*as were Ferdinand, Butt and Rooney, to show I'm not biased.
