Up the Arse! Goons thread Part 8

[Cruyff14]

I call it Lol Liga, Glen

Yeah it's always like this, just luck of the draw if your side gets a few games over four days or two.

 

[Benno_900]

I don't get why the 3rd of those games isn't a mid week game? We have QPR on Saturday and then Fulham on Monday. Why not play Fulham on Wed?

Unless the fixture around Christmas has always been like that every year?

It was supposed to be with yesterday's fixtures but it was postponed because of the train strike.

 

[AG]

I thought that was just Wolves being pushed back 24 hours?

 

[Cruyff14]

A few other teams play today, but I'm not sure if they were rescheduled games or not.

 

[Benno_900]

Nah, ours was the only one rescheduled.

It's not like we can pick and choose when to play it either. It's up to the FA.

 

[Cruyff14]

Yeah no point whinging about it. Just get on with it and pick up the three points and on to QPR and Fulham.

 

[Northalives]

It isn't real is it ? Wenger is not really thinking of getting Henry on loan is he?

The side looks really tight at the moment and I'd hate to think what importing such a hugely inflated ego into our squad would do.

This is the fellow who'd rock up to training late and then get them to hold up training so he could go back and change his boots and then not even do up his shoe laces and prance around like a show girl.

Real dangerous I reckon.

I don't think it's like that at all mate. Henry loves arsenal (and wenger for that matter). The signs are similar to when we re-signed Sol, ie training with us to maintain fitness, training the house doan and really mixing with the boys well. I don't believe wenger would ever allow such disruptive influences or egos in the dressing room. In fact he's made moves in recent years selling good players to rid the club of egos (adebayor and gallas for example)

 

[Cruyff14]

Henry would no doubt enhance things in the dressing room, if anything.

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

Henry would be the most respected player if he does come back. The players would love having him around.

 

[glenferry23]

Yep. Sign him up arsene!

Yeah, that'd be worse than having Szczesny in goal!

He's been training with us for the past 2 months so he's pretty much already a squad member. Has only had a positive impact.

 

[Cruyff14]

haha Benno.

Touchy, touchy !!

I made an observation based on what Henry was like at The Arsenal previously.
I hope he has become a team player; 't would be great, even though he's 35 and Wenger got rid of him at the end of 2007 because he was disruptive. Maybe he's matured?

As for Szczesny, even Wenger said a couple of weeks ago that he has a long way to go.

Don't go 'round sounding like a Liverpool supporter Benno!

 

[Cruyff14]

Henry had the right to be arrogant.

And I never heard any reports of him stopping training.

 

[moomba]

What number would he wear? Walcott has his currently doesn't he?

 

[Cruyff14]

12. Nobody wears it and he wore it for France.

 

[Benno_900]

He's wearing #31 in training.

 

[Latro]

52 is free.

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

Walcott out for todays game with Djourou starting at right back. And Ramsey on the bench for rozza. Benayoun replaces Walcott btw well deserved too.

 

[Latro]

Walcott is out with an illness.

 

[Benno_900]

Hopefully that means Yossi has moved ahead of Arshavin in the pecking order. It's about time.

 

[beatlesmith]

Comfortable win with an RVP goal or two and no injuries thanks.

 

[beatlesmith]

Good stuff Gervinho and a quality pass by Yossi.
Djourou is a liability. Not sure if he's worse with the ball at his feet or one on one with a winger/striker.

 

[beatlesmith]

Disgraceful. Our inability to capitalise on rivals losing is ridiculous.
Scoring one against f***ing Wolves at home? 23 shots, 1 goal?
