Fekkin Chelsea, you must be spewing Carnelian.

Ruddy, Norwich's keeper sent off, dubious decision. It's these sorts of decisions that will get Norwich relegated. Great for Chelsea's army of glory hunters shit for Norwich, who are treated as relegation fodder by the refs and won't get any favourable decisions this season.

Yep, certainly am!

I was having a rant about it believe me. What I actually thought was; they get one of Mourinhos mates in and Chelsea go back to their diving, faking behaviour that he instilled in there.

I really really hate the footballing Portuguese, players and managers.

Some great dives by Suarez... looks like something out of swan lake.

Terrible, terrible performance. The whole midfield has been shocking. Reo-Coker especially I'd say.

Actually, I'd say the only player to reach 'ok' is Mark Davies.

Have Liverpool been good though Disley? I dunno as not watching it

 

Where's RiverRock and the Liverpool fans tonight?

Yeah, they've been good. Adam has been the standout for them I'd say. His cross field passes are something else.

Ah ok thanks. Funnily enough they were talking about Adam on fivelive a couple of weeks back and they were saying that he could be the key signing for Liverpool this window.

I'll be joining you in that losing feeling tomorrow I reckon, At least I hope our Ladies win tomorrow at Liverpool to lift the FAWSL trophy

We were hopeless today!

Didn't your boy score again Joe? I thought you got a draw - no?

three games in and three serious and very dubious decisions against Norwich. Refereeing in the Prem is shite. It's about time the FA pulled its fingers out and analysed how often decisions go against the 'unfashionable' clubs like Norwich and how often dubious decisions go to the likes of Manure etc.  Refs being in awe or in fear of the reputation or pull of bigger clubs and their players makes a mockery of the game.  Great for the money men and glory hunters but going into a match, both clubs should be on a level playing field as far as officials go.

You think you've got problems Carnelian. We have Howard (I'm not really a Man Utd fan, it's just coincidence that I make decisions that always go their way) Webb for our game tomorrow.

Well that's if he's finished on his knees before Fergie by the time kick off comes around.

 

Did you see the research published recently about decisions? Can't remember what it was called but they adjusted the table based on correct decisions rather than what was given. Arsenal would have been 2nd and Blackpool wouldn't have gone down.

So it's not only small clubs that get screwed. They have to bring technology in and I would go further - a lot further.

But I'm too tired to list it tonight lol x

Bet its sh*t to be Sturridge right now Anelka, Torres, Drogba and Lukaku will always get the nod ahead of him... no matter how well he plays.

He's always welcome back at 'bok....

Hi veggie never really be on here anymore. Really pleased with the progress under Kenny and hope it may continue! Think a top 4 finish is realistic. 

 

What about Le'Arse? I think Wengner should let someone else have a go, he has lost the spark and doesn't seem to have the respect of his players.Hope you beat the Mancs tomorrow

We need a striker veggie! So many chances in the first half. No-one to put 'em away. Emnes can't do it all!

Was just having a browse on twitter... and came across this from Arsenal fans.

 

"#freegarycahill"

 

The idea is to up the bid, not lower it...

Testing for GJ

What does everyone think about Croc's suggestion in another thread that we have a new thread for the new season?

It's because threads with loads of pages don't work properly on I phones.

I don't use I phone but think it's a good idea.

 

 

Riverrock  really pleased to see you back here. I'm happy to stick with AW for the time being. I think the bigger problem is with the board and that American wanker who now owns most of the club.

And you know all about them at Liverpool, although the new one you have seems to be splashing the cash

Disaster for arsenal at the minute, fans are heading for the exits at 40 mins. I can't see van persie being there for long either, doesn't look confident at all... Lacking experience in the side.

I hope Van Persie scores! He  was 3/1 at anytime.

Took United to win/win at 5/4.

Veggie, words fail me.

WooHoo!

Wenger deserved that.

Hard Luck veggie, it could be a blessing in disguise for Arsenal to sort things out. It looks like a Manc Duopoly at the minute. Spurs and Arsenal have really went back leaving the door open for us to get 4th, Chelseas also look poor with Drogba injured, Torres off form and the new boys still not fully integrated in the team.  Its anyones game and I'd like to think we will grab this opportunity with both hands. 

Why?  What's he done wrong all of a sudden?

If I was Cahill I would stay at Bolton... Spurs and Arsenal look to have both fallen apart, both clubs need to go out and start spending.

 

 

United, Liverpool, City & Chelsea will all be up there at the end of this season... can't see Spurs or Arsenal even coming close.

Well, that was one for the neutrals!!

 

Very nice words for Wenger from Ferguson in the post match interview.

My husband is in a taxi driver fantasy thing where you put down where all the teams in the league will finish....he had his top 4 as Man U, Man C, Chelsea Liverpool with Arsenal 6th....looking good for it so far

Any other manager would have splashed the cash that he has available, but Wenger is counting pennies and signing promising 12 year olds as usual. And it's not just about Cahill. They need 3 or 4 players who are ready now, not those for five years from now.

People laughed at Dalglish for doing this this year but it shows buying ready made premiership players works, Adam, Downing and Enrique all starting to look at home. Its the first step of rebuilding is making yourself a decent team again at the minute any player worth their salt would run a mile from Arsenal due to the way they are currently playing as well as the pressure that will be heaped upon them., Wenger needs to sort it out.

Ouch.

 

I'd like to know how anyone in here knows what money The Arsenal have available to spend. Coz none of us fans seem able to get a straight answer.

I'm still behind AW but I'd sack the board and get rid of Kronke if I could. He does this at every club he takes over in whatever franchise. He takes a club that is sound financially, sells off it's most valuable assets and replaces them with cheap fill ins.

Wasn't AW's decision to let Na$ri go I can tell you that

Well, for start there was around £30mil for Fabregas... and then £20mil for Nasri.

 

 

So Arsenal must have had £50mil lying around somewhere and then after the game against Udinese you got another £20mil coming in for qualifying for the CL. Arsenal certainly have money, i'm guessing that its just Wenger who doesn't believe he has to spend to be a success.

Veggie, i don't know about your boardroom, are they in debt external to the club?

Is he allowed to spend it though....has it been earmarked for the team or is it still being used to pay for the stadium?

I'd 8 2 B an Arsenal supporter tonight!
