Good evening.
And welcome to Part Two of Arsenal’s numero uno blogger and er…me.
Thus far this has been Spurs best season since since cro-magnon times. Are you surprised at how well it’s gone or did you always think there was the potential to finish in the top four?
We’ve always lacked consistency. Great game against so and so a top side one week, then drop our pants against some mob like Wolves the next. Easy to say there was potential of course. But what we appear to have done is unlock it because we’re playing the ‘Spurs’ way. At last. clicky
You put your foot down this summer with Modric despite his obvious desire to leave. Has that affected him or his performances?
It’s affected the way fans feel about him. He went from a cute little Croatian to rat faced Chicken Badge allergy bloke in the space of one Daily Mail interview. He’s playing well, but it all hinges upon how he now perceives Chelsea and how he now perceives us. clicky
You took Adebayor on loan, a player who shares the record of most goals ever scored by an Arsenal player against Spurs in the league. Have you now come to accept his father’s terrible job? And what are your thoughts on any club being able to take a £200,000 a week player on loan and pay a relatively small percentage of their wages?
I think that those who had an issue with the suggested career path of his father in our ranks have been suitably silenced by his performances.
I can sense some Arsene seeping out of you (possibly not for the first time) in the concern about high end loans. I agree that they are anti football. I agree that they are poison. Unless we’re benefiting. In which case I’d vote for more. clicky
Gareth Bale – the next Messi or a decent player who is overly w@nked over by the British media? Doesn’t seem long ago there was that crazy stat where he’d never been in a winning team or something.
Remind me not to buy Arseblogger’s Big Boys Book Of Stats. He was also at one stage 8lbs 4ozs too.
He is a monster talent and if he can focus on playing to his strengths on the wing he may in time find a cure for … er… hiccups and stuff. clicky
Financially speaking – at least in terms of wages – you seem to be punching above your weight. How much of that is down to the team that Harry has built and how much to the struggles at Arsenal and Chelsea?
Arsenal and Chelsea have made hard work of it this season, but it’s difficult to not to believe that the stock of most of our players has risen. We earned our points this season. You don’t gain points when other sides drop them. It doesn’twork like that. clicky
Does Younes Kaboul remind you of Hellboy or is that just me? Did van der Vaart buy his hamstrings from the same shop as Fabregas?
Younes was actually part of a now discontinued genetic experiment carried out in the suburbs of er… Paris. Which is in France. Mr de Vaart’s legs are actually manufactured by Airfix so you’re way off beam with that one. I mean, really. clicky
So, Harry. Now that we know his tax affairs are in order it seems the England job is likely to be his. Any fears he might take his eye off the ball ahead of the Euros? And what’s the general feeling about leaving? For me there cannot be a worse job in football than England manager, it never, ever, ever ends well. Do people understand why he’d leave something he’s built well at Spurs to take the England job?
The problem with Arry and the England job is essentially down to the problem that he still sees it as being a position as prestigious as it was when he was a nipper. The reality is he’ll be flayed alive on the back pages the moment he screws up, but he either simply cannot see/refuses to see it. clicky
David Bentley, the ultimate example of how in football one day you can be cock of the walk, the next just a cock?
Lost cause that boy. Maybe he could start up a jazz trio with Bendtner and Chamakh. They could call themselves the ‘Backwards Bum Beads’. clicky
You lot are in good form *cough* Stevenage *cough* and you’re facing an Arsenal team flying after two glorious away trips, what do you reckon for Sunday?
1-3 clicky
Earlier this evening you mentioned that blight on the North London landscape “St Totteringham’s day”. Can we please launch a campaign, for this and future years, for the equivalent- namely “St Arseholes day”. The day they can no longer catch us.
Looking at the fixtures, my prediction for St Arseholes is that it will fall on 15th April- unless we get behind with fixtures because of the FACup. I know some of you won’t want to predict for fear of jinxing it, but come on lets wind them up. When do you think it will be?
See a previous blog, there’s whole ruck of names suggested-there’s got to be an HH compo in the making soon?
How could you be so polite?
?
In case anyone still believes the England manager receives feir treatment from the press, see this article.
First pragraph:
“One of Fabio Capello’s final acts as England manager was his perplexing decision to base the team in the Polish city of Krakow during Euro 2012, even though all England’s group games were subsequently drawn to take place hundreds of miles away in Ukraine.”
Capello isn’t even in the job any more, and he’s being criticised for not being psychic.
Take note Harry Redknapp.
I’ve just had an email from ‘Sandra’. It read, in part, ‘Wanna see some girls on webcam?’
If the press get hold of this, Arry’s troubles will be just beginning.
Surely the prudent thing for Capello to do would have been to wait until the groups had been drawn before committing to a base in Krakow. He`s not being criticised for lack of psychic ability, just for being disorganised and stupid. Perhaps if he had learned to speak English in the last 5 years he would have communicated better.
Raz,Capello had the best stats of any England Manager and the players were s**t when it mattered most especially granny shagger.The FA has to take some blame anyway it might bring the overrated players down to earth.
Yes, I realize the manager bears ultimate responsibility for everything, as it should be. But did anyone really expect him to personally spend hours on end on hotelsDOTcom trying to find a suitable HQ? I think he probably told someone to “find a nice hotel with adequate training facilities, not in the middle of f*cking nowhere like last time” and then didn’t think about it anymore.
Poland & Ukraine are both huge, and being walking distance from all the group games just isn’t an option for any team. No matter where you stay, you can’t bus it to the games (Warsaw & Krakow, which are realtively “close” it this context, are apparently a 5 hour drive apart). So the teams are going to have to fly between cities. In that case the gpegraphic distances become more or less irrelevant (45 minute flights vs. 1 hour flights) since most of the travel time goes to getting to/from the airports and through security. I’ve no idea if the base camp they’ve ended up with is far from the airport in Krakow, but that’s all that really matters.
Either way, classic media storm-in-a-glass-of-water mentality.
He should have used ‘Go Compare’ or ‘Compare the Meerkat’, but I’m pretty certain there’s a whole ruck of secretaries and minor officials, who are responsible for this issue-but as in any walk of life, you put the blame on someone that’s left the company.
“…blame on someone that’s left…”
Since it’s journalists casting blame in this case and not former colleagues, I think it’s more like
“blame whoever will sell papers / generate hits”
Paul Jiggin’s is doing a lot of Jiggling, don’t buy ’em, it’s that simple, if people want a bog read, buy a book.
Harry is on his bike and I will LOVE IT LOVE IT(as KK once said)when he gets it up his ass from the gutter press.
:daumen: I hope they go medieval on it.
eg:redden end of poker,cold end up em,have to burn hand to remove. :blush:
Red hot both ends. :dizzy:
Why? Because you hate him personally? Or you can’t handle rejection?
I tell you what Jim, I wish them lot would stop arse licking Harry like that, it gets embarrassing!!
Note to self-We’ve had Gooner bashing Part One, Spammer bashing and a little more Gooner bashing Part Two…and guess who’s the Harry bashing….???? Some supporter.. and only two days before a NLD, Priceless!
I don’t think it’s perplexing at all :winke:
adebayor rises and heads into the arsenal net……….no!! this cant be true says a gooner……..actually its only a dream but one day you never know….
