Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Sorry, SAF is just becomg embarrassing.

He has been sucessful managing a team, a limited opportumity that few others get the opportunity to do the same. Same as saying a F1 driver is the best in the world, when that is a closed shop.

Equally limited opportunity for other teams to compete over the years.

Nothing I have seen from him merits real reconition. Has he slaved for years caring for the sick, sacrificed his own comfort for others? develop some important benefit for mankind?

I think we are a bit easy to please when we choose our heroes

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Yes true. Still I think it's become ridiculous how players demand pay raises or leave after one good season for their club. Some players need to stay, look at Manchester City and all the players who left and had their careers stall because greedy agents have their ear. Nasri, Sinclair, Lescott all these players were at the start of something promising and have become nothing more than squad players at that.

Looking good for you Dave against Spurs.

Not now it isnt Sunderland 1-2 Spurs

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Has there been any other player to serve a ban for accumulation of yellow cards just for diving? Bale got his 5th yellow this season today, all for diving. Although the one today was very harsh.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Was a bit harsh but he now has a rep for diving so i cant blame the ref

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

I've been told one of the bookings was for dissent not diving. Still 4/5 isn't bad...

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Sky Sports commentators said all 5 were for diving?

Norwich are back in at as its now Norwich 1-2 Man City

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

nothing really going West Broms way. The peno claim was stonewall. other little decisions going against West Brom too. I thought going in from behind was a foul but not at OT. Utd are on top as youd expect given the help from the ref. West Brom actually started well. ref killed the game still West Brom are getting on with it.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Sorry Dave but the second half performance was poor.

Oh and another 2 points thrown away. :(

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

I admit, I was worried when Crouch came on. It was a wonder strike but we should be better against 10 men...

Re: Football Season 2012/2013

Can't the Arsenal players have a disagreement and start a fight amongst themselves. That way the ref could send a few off so they are out for the next match. :D

That'll be it then, simply terrible defending, worst defence in the league at present.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Right. 2 goals. There you go Arsenal. Keep it. Hold on. 2 goal led. You can even mess up once and still win. Don't mess it up. Keep hold of the ball, kill the game, defend. DO IT. DO IT NOW.

I wouldn't be, you witnessed some of the worst defending ever seen in the top flight, simply awful stuff, unless your defence is poor as that you'll only concede 3 :)

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

indeed what a strike.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Gareth Bale^^:dunce:

As I've said in the past, if the contact is not significant enough to cause a player losing his balance then it's a dive. Otherwise there is no control and there's 6 separate penalty appeals for every corner kick.

Bale is a diver and he's got the Ashley Young syndrome, meaning until someone kicks his arse about it, he'll keep doing it.

Sky Sources: Demba Ba's reps meeting Chelsea later

I'm not really fussed if he doesn't come to Arsenal. I want other players. Interesting though that Chelsea may not go back in for Falcao.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Yes, interesting

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Inevitable signing once Sturridge goes.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

I am not too fussed about Ba either. Wish he would stay at Newcastle.

i like Debuchy. good signing.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Indeed they need somone in defence to salvage the increasingly sinking ship.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

I missed yesterday's trashing, I assume Colo was the only senior defender playing? If everyone were fit Santon/Colo/Taylor and now Debuchy should be a great back four.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Like Fletcher?

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Fletcher is not leaving Ba is but yes we rely on Fletcher too much

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

I think he'll sign a new contract. If you look around the league's elite or considered the elite wheres he going to go and get the CF role? Chelsea will probably strike a deal for Ba. Sturridge is leaving for Liverpool for pretty much the same reason. City, no room. Utd are stocked too. ESPN looked at it yesterday prematch and come to the conclusion hes at the best club. Whats added now is Henry is said to be working with Theo. Once Theo gets his run of games that pleases him a contract should be signed. Question is will the 100k come into it?

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

If Arsenal give him what he wants then they are fools. There is no way he is worth even half of what he is asking for. I don't rate Theo at all, never have done. Chamberlain is a thousand times better than Theo imo.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013

uk.soccerway.com/news/2012/December/30/wenger-rules-out-henry-loan/

im not unhappy. id rather Henry just do his thing behind the scenes. no need for the player loan. we need to look elsewhere. Henry can act as a bringertogether if that makes sense.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

I disagree, i think he is quality and Arsenal is probably the best club for him. If he has a brain he will sign a new contract there.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Footballers seem to allow their agents to function as their brain.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Theos agents said to be one of the good guys in the business. Most of the well placed sources or whatever on twitter have said it. One other football agent (who has Arsenal clients) has too. I think this being played upfront may be true but I guess we'll soon find out.

I'm just wondering where he could go. Our leagues already been looked at. Abroad? Italians are making cuts. Spain? Real no. Barca doubt it. Germany.. that would be a real shocker. France, PSG? Holland no money.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

You don't want that clown.:nono::td:

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

what do you mean by that Den? I don't know much about Marwood.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Hopefully it's true. Agents will recommend players go for the money most of the time and Walcott will get paid more elsewhere even if he won't play as much. I don't think he'll go abroad really but Liverpool as said to want him, he will play there and there is the suggestion they'll go to £100,000! Chelsea and City would take him probably and the latter will offer more than £100,000.

I think United is a good bet. He is better than Young and they seem to have lost faith in Nani and he also has a good partnership with Van Persie.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Because l don't think he is capable of attracting the players you want as shown by the last transfer window at City.
