Any big Arsenal Fans on here?
 

I ask as we have a youngster on loan with us (Falkirk FC) at the moment until Christmas (hopefully until the end of the season as we have the option apparently) called Anthony Stokes.

The guy is 18 years old and my word what a player this boy is, im chuffed to bits that he's currently the highest scorer in the SPL at the moment, has just won the Young Player of the month award, scored two hat tricks in two successive games (a first for any player since the inception of the SPL) but devastated that ultimately, he's not ours.

This guy is one for the future and should be knocking on your first team door soon when he gets back down south.

Lucky Bar stewards - you heard it here first...

It would appear they heard it at Arsenal even earlier? ;)

Arsenal wannabe : I have to drive past the emirates stadium most days but my nephew is so I play along :)

Looks like you won't have him much longer

Celtic will offer Arsenal £1m for striker Anthony Stokes, who is currently on loan at Falkirk. (The Independent)

Also Strachan has been watching him...

I really hope not, it would be another great talent wasted on those bigoted swine's.

Where's all the arsenal fans? not making any noise after last night hahahahhaha

Re: Any big Arsenal Fans on here?
 

Indeed not. Probably hiding in shame after being well & truly trounced by the wonderful & ruddy gorgeous Coleman and his black and white army. :D:D:D:D

Even more satisfying than when they beat Chelsea 1-0 last season :rofl: :rofl:

Re: Any big Arsenal Fans on here?
 

It never ceases to amaze how big Spurs fans mouths are considering you have won nothing for decades, you achieved nothing last year, you'll do the same this year unless you consider avoiding relegation a success.

What's done is done as far as past seasons go. I could be bitter about handing the **** a place in Europe due to food poisoning, but what's the point? :)

Re: Any big Arsenal Fans on here?
 

You are right it's pointless comparing the two, one can keep their star player out of the clutches of the best footballing team on the planet, where as the other can't keep one of their better players out of Manchester ;)

Re: Any big Arsenal Fans on here?
 

But is it a case of knowing if you defect to Chelski/Real don't win nothing (delete as appropriate), you might end up on the bench half the time, or favouring always starting for the first team of the club you're currently at (as opposed to staying out of loyalty and love for the club...) ?

I knowm, sodding judas. :mad: ;)

Re: Any big Arsenal Fans on here?
 

Banter aside, I agree people like Henry, Shearer, Viera and Gerrard should be applauded for their loyalty, it's all to uncommon in the modern game.

As for Carrick, well at least he stayed half a season to try and put right the relegation, when all our 'stars' were being sold all I thought was good, all but Glen Johnson played the entire season and instead of demanding transfers and saying that they had out grown the club in interviews, they should have hung their heads, begged for forgiveness and left their futures in the clubs hands, sadly though football isn't like that anymore, like most things, change hasn't been for the better.

Re: Any big Arsenal Fans on here?
 

While I mostly agree with you there, wasn't it Gerrard who wouldn't commit his future to Liverpool, before he knew the outcome of their champions league final against AC Milan ?

Re: Any big Arsenal Fans on here?
 

Who knows the truth? They said the same about Henry and they lost, he stayed, every year Real Madrid had agreed a deal for Viera before Arsenal decided to sell him so who knows you might be right, the thing these 'super stars' need to be reminded of is that the grass isn't always greener, it's certainly something someone should remind young Ronaldo of, when Madrid come serenading him again in the summer.

Re: Any big Arsenal Fans on here?
 

I'm sure I heard Gerrard say he was waiting until after the champions league final, before making a decision. Mind you, I suppose it's down to interpretation, you know what the media is like lol.
