How has the team reacted to Nick B. being part of the squad again?

[Dutch Gooner]

Giroud probably embrased him...he's just happy for any striker to join....Theo, Jack, Sagna, Chesney, Rosicky..players who have played with him probably went...oh, feck..he's back :hehe:

[Pat Vegas]

[Supermac1976]

[Maravilloso Marvo]

success and failure at that level.

[7evens]

had a really brigtht future at the club. I recall a couple of the clique insisting one day he would be world class. :hehe:

Some make it, others don't. His attitude seems to have been his downfall - although it may, even now, be a little early to write him off.

[Dutch Gooner]

for a few minutes

[Maravilloso Marvo]

Of course I always thought Bendtner was a **** though.

[Dutch Gooner]

we need a back up striker for Giroud at the moment...and he could fill that in I believe (if fit)........after that he can f*ck off once we have bought Benzema or Rooney

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

'He's f**king ****.' The people who fail to appreciate this difference are generally 1) uneducated and 2) common.

[Classic Jorge]

An *Arsenal* player, mind.

You're special.

[Supermac1976]

[7evens]

the team sheet, whereas others, myself included, couldn't see past all the running and the multitude of pointless three yard sideways passes.

It is indeed, a fine line.

Let's not get over sensitive about these matter j.
The player did his own legs in, beginning with those **** boots

[Luis Anaconda]

with the whole subject

[Luis Anaconda]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

to 'their' players and often revel in their failure - does this mean they have no loyalty to anything? Do they delight in their kids failing their exams? Their wives being made redundant? Are they twisted?

[Maravilloso Marvo]

You mean from the charity cupcake making at the Salvation army on a Tuesday morning?

[Classic Jorge]

I dont understand what makes you tick and i certainly dont understand taking against a player for the colour of his boots.

I think anybody who saw a young Bendtner thought he had a big future, the problem was so did he.

credit when he was scoring last-minute winners to keep us in the hunt for the title (not you iirc) That's a bit sad

[Maravilloso Marvo]

It was Strood who was a postman, right?

[Luis Anaconda]

and we look at the game against Ukraine and wonder why England players can't pass

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

and directly forward :stevieG:

pass and it almost crossed the border back into England.

[7evens]

The ones who exercise it most are the ones that get moved on..
I don't make these rules.

[Luis Anaconda]

lack of chances of course could come down to not being good enough of course, but he would have had decent runs in the team only to get injured at the same time as RvP

It's daring to put your head above the pulpit in a way that distances you from others through mocking elitism.

That's something that needs to be earned.

[Dutch Gooner]

[7evens]

As a fan, no matter how long he spent on the treatment table, you instinctively never doubted his class and ability.
Perhaps that's the difference. On a lesser note, it's why I can't bring myself to write of Diaby. Although, I'm probably more marginalised on that issue.. http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/ohwell.gif

[Luis Anaconda]

[7evens]

He often appeared to simply dispose of it in a way that suggested he wasn't bold enough to take it on himself and create an opening for something more incisive :shrug:

[halfsharkalligatorhalfman]

Maybe he just likes **** :shrug:

[Luis Anaconda]

[7evens]

Can't say I noticed anyone really ripping into the lad.
A few doubters in terms of his rehabilitation but thankfully, he's prompted many to re-think.
Equally a bit premature, after half a dozen games to assume that form will continue through to next May.

[7evens]

You'd have had it ripped out of you wearing those on the flats or the hackney marshes, unless you were a bit special.
May have got away with them in the home couties perhaps :rubchin:

[Luis Anaconda]

:wengervision:

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

loyalty - not blindly worshipped, but at least given the benefit of the doubt.

[7evens]

before or since.
It was a side of his game I could never get my head around.

At times, it was almost as if he was afraid to do anything with it after he'd taken possession. :shrug:

[7evens]

It's a world of instant success. It's not the 70's where we just accepted a squad of 14 players and just got on with it.
Now we all have squads of 25 plus and if a player isn't cutting it within a season, he's shipped out on loan.
That gets absorbed into the fans and huzzah, and suddenly we're all expendable.
There's a middle ground where the more discerning will show patience and nurturing but people want success.
The only way to really shut the fans up is by doing it on the field. WD Ramsey

[Luis Anaconda]

maybe it was the morons getting on his back

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

or any of your other excuses. I'm talking about YOU being responsible for your own lack of loyalty and respect for something that should be important to you.

I don't mean just you, of course. I mean all of your ilk.

[7evens]

Not any thing of substance that really matters :-)
