Hands off! Perfidious Lancashire Dogs.

Wenger's making more friends

http://www.independent.co.uk/s...omments-1881698.html

A lot of people will see an inch perfect cross field pass as a long ball...

This is true.

There's lots of stories popping up on newsnow that Jack Wilshere will be joining on loan later today or early tomorrow.

I'm not sure about this, admittedly he's a talented kid, but he's 18 years old. I doubt whether he'd be mature enough to handle playing every week and needing to deliver the goods.

A bit of time in the Championship might suit him better, followed by a loan to a Premier League club next season.

Spurs sign Gudjohnsen...

*Jealous*

Personally I thought that AW was really complementary to Villa in a lot of the things he said. If MON wants to throw a hissy fit over one phrase then so be it *shrugs*
As for Wiltshire going on loan to Bolton I don't know any Arsenal fans who would like it. He needs to go on loan but I agree with Disley, he should go to a Championship side or lower like all our other loanees. JW has been getting far too big for his boots over the last year - no doubt inspired by reading his own press. Allowing him to go to a PL club will just enforce his over inflated opinion of himself. We had heard that it was likely to be between Burnley and West Ham for the loan but I expect that it will be announced tomorrow at the Press Conference

Indeed! Someone non-barcodesque in the top-right perhaps.

An Adebayor in the making

Send him our way

If it was up to me Joe I would send him to West Brom - or maybe Swansea tbh. He needs to be in a team that gets the ball down and plays and where they have established players that will squash him down a bit.
I have watched him a lot in our reserves and babies and he has a foul temper. He does make me laugh at times though. When we lost to the Villa reserves because the ref was a complete (serious trigger words) we honestly didn't think he would finish the match on the pitch. After one particularly bad challenge on him when the ref again did nothing, he told the ref he was a "useless 'rhymes with' Punt" - which earned him a booking and a loud chant of 'Jack Wilshere you are right' from the fans
Meaty - he won't be like Adebayor as he is not a lazy, shiftless back stabber - and dirty as he can be at times I can't seriously see him trying to stamp on someones head.
Oh and he has loads of talent and works hard - so not like Adebayor at all then really

We can do that. We can play the ball down. We can play a bit. We have established sixteen year olds. We got all our shit together man woman man.

PMSL Joe, it's not me you need to convince. Plus you do have Strachan in charge............. at the moment


From what the boss said yesterday, they are leaving it to him to decide where he wants to go.

I would just tell him and make him get on with it - but then I'm a biatch.

Yes! The new technique is to buy the entire Celtic team.

All I can say to that Joe is "oh Dear"

I've spent most of the day at College looking on football websites.


Good news about Gudjohnsen to Spurs on loan, Harry will be after the tea lady next.



WBA signed another player also.

Yes Strachan certainly wants to bring lots of Bhoys to the Riverside.

According to Sky Sports Adam Johnson is set for talks with Manchester City over a move from Middlesbrough.

Newcastle, Forest and West Brom bids for Victor Moses of Crystal Palace?.

I thought he looks a good prospect.

Indeed! I posted this bit about the Lancashire robdogs earlier yesterday. If so let us hope that he is a successful as Downing has been at Villa.

 Downing's been good for us.

From what I saw on the tellybox 'toid, the crowd seemed to be in more danger of being hit than the goal.

Not the best example, but in his limited starts for us so far, he's been great. Scored in league cup run (helping us get to Wembley), played a blinder against Man Utd (helping us beat them at Old Trafford).
Has fitted into Barry's old role perfectly, except he's younger and quicker.

Have seen a lot of Adam Johnson up here in reserve matches, friendlies etc (I even played against him when I was about 18 - He was unbelievably good) and in my opinion he's better than Downing. He's technically better, got quicker feet and like Downing has a fantastic left foot.

Was thinking before about Manchester United's weak weak midfield and I was going through some of the top sides in europe and asking myself would Fletcher, Anderson, Gibson or Carrick get into their teams.





Barcelona... not in a million years with Xavi, Iniesta, Keita, Toure, Busquets.

Real Madrid... no chance.

Arsenal... Carrick would maybe get in alongside Fabregas if he's lucky

Chelsea... Essien, Ballack, Deco, Lampard, Mikel would all be ahead of Carrick and Fletcher.

Inter... Nope

AC Milan... Pirlo, Ambrosini, Gattuso, Seedorf, Beckham all way ahead of the United 2.

Liverpool... Hmm Fletcher wouldn't as Mascherano is a better player, but if Gerrard plays as the second striker, then possibly Carrick would fill the Alonso role.



I could go on.









The sooner Ferguson buys a top class midfielder, the better. They need a younger version of Paul Scholes and they also need Owen Hargreaves back.

Surely some mistake. He is none of those things and definitely of no use to anyone else.

Two bits of news...

Wilshere signs till the end of the season, and Paul "Psycho" Robinson has made his loan move permanent (why?).

Just in case Cherylstolemylollipop is about I can now reveal that at this moment St. Pauli are winning 2-0 away from home against Duisburg. Eight minutes to go. Surely they will be promoted.

He's not needed at WBA anymore.

And we Gooners are oh so pleased about that!!

Wilshere and Weiss in same side Hopefully both get first team football

yeah and 3 points tomorrow.

Moin footie fans  xx
Today I selected Cardiff, Boro, QPR, Reading, Sheff Wed, Bristol R. and Leeds. I'm really looking forward to this afternoon's game. Hoping it is still on though but. We have a bit of snow.

Chelsea have vowed to support John Terry amid allegations the footballer had an affair with a former team-mate's( Wayne Bridge's) girlfriend.

Naughty JT.

So Mark Davies is fit enough to start for Bolton today 10 or 11 days after the Gallas tackle.
Makes a bit of a mockery of all the whining and hullaballoo and dire predictions that he would be out for a minimum of four weeks and probably much longer that we were hearing about.
Glad for the player that he was not badly injured but really annoyed at all the negative press Arsenal got

Hi Veggie, more pressure on you guys tomorrow since you are favourites to win and most will be expecting a home win, United better of as undedogs sure will be an exciting match.


Yay Forest lost to Derby and WBA 1-0 up against Sheffield United at home
(Graham Dorrans penalty).

Pompey website shut down can't pay the appropriate people for running it so have to rely on local press to communicate with fans.




Bournemouth winning in League 2 and they only have 14 fit players with their transfer ban being lifted so they could sign Rhoys Wiggins on loan.

Without the tackle, Davies wouldn't have missed anytime at all...

Hi Darlo
I'm going to watch our Ladies in a cup match tomorrow afternoon so I won't see the match.
Tbh, along with quite a few Arsenal fans I know, we are really fed up with some of the stuff going on. Wilshere going on loan to Bolton has upset every Arsenal fan I know. we are furious about getting gazumped over Smalling and sick to death of the bad results and performances we seem to get virtually every time the team play in those bloody white shirts (the fake Spurs kit).
I don't expect us to beat you lot tomorrow either

Fair comment but 10 days out is a very long way from the dire predictions and doom mongering that went on for days afterwards.Notice that Coyle soon shut his gob when he realised that he could still get Wilshere on loan.
