Good Lord! Mesut going in studs up on ex-Arsenal players over the weekend.

[redgunamo]

I don't know, you have a little tipple and the whole world turns upside down :-(

[Pat Vegas]

So much for him staying too.

He has a point. Ex-players that become pundits/jounalists do tend to be overly harsh on their former club, I suppose it's because they want to be taken seriously and not appear completely blind to their former clubs deficiencies (apart from Phil Thompson)

[Sir C]

It was a definite farewell, wasn't it?

Apparently Bellerin and Mustafi both asked to leave this summer.

Have you got a pair of boots you could lend me?

:nod: what size?

[Sir C]

:nod: what size?

Nine. I'm pretty sure I can still do a job.

Also, it's the club they tend to know best so if anything is going wrong, they'll know all the ins and outs.

Hector as well? Blimey.

[Alberto Balsam Rodriguez]

You don't need Football boots, c

All you need are the keys to the bus

[Sir C]

Hector as well? Blimey.

:nod: According to the chap at the BBC who is acknowledged to be itk. Ornstein.

It's all gone to shít, sw.

I bet I could give the ball away less often that Sanchez over 90 minutes.

I see Wenger was quoted on his contract talks as well.

[Pokster]

:nod: According to the chap at the BBC who is acknowledged to be itk. Ornstein.

Wasn't he the person that said we had no money??

[redgunamo]

Wasn't he the person that said we had no money??

So I gather, yes. No money, or rather, not enough money to buy top, top players.

Well I am no expert here but had this nonsense continued with him being forced to play on the left in a really bizarre attempt to cozy up the disenfranchised Chamberlain then I expect he would have been quite unhappy.

Do you know we went from something like 80k to 180k per week in our desperation to keep the aforementioned bang average footballer. This saddened me.

Then I read yesterday the sequence of events on Wednesday/Thursday last in relation to Sanchez and his on/off move. While I have no sympathy for either City or the player we really do appear to have made an absolute fúcking balls of it.

What has happened.

[Rich]

:nod: by simply shirking your responsibilities and avoiding the ball at all costs.

[SWv2]

Wasn't he the person that said we had no money??

By all accounts briefed in order to dampen expectation.

:-(

[redgunamo]

:-(

I'm not sure. We're good for another FA Cup or two, aren't we?

[Sir C]

Wasn't he the person that said we had no money??

Yes, and apparently what he said was correct.

Arsenalfan TV poisoned everyone's minds.

[redgunamo]

Arsenalfan TV poisoned everyone's minds.

Nobody was ever moved to moan about their team before that.

[Sir C]

Nobody was ever moved to moan about their team before that.

It's the degree of moaning. The vehemence of the moaning. That extent of the anger. The hatefulness of the tirades.

They have made the extreme mainstream. It's how socialists work.

[Tony C]

Maybe a director of football would've accomplished more than Wenger on his own this summer.

On another note...we didn't bring Henry crack to the club because he wanted to keep working with Sky....so how about Arsene ending feadline day early so he could cover the France game.

£8m a year to tell Monaco and Lamar - no hard feelings...I have a train to catch to Paris anyways

:shrug:

[bbrian]

I have no doubt you could Sir C..of course , first you have to be in possession of said ball to give it away

:shrug:

I did see that he was working in Paris at the French match. :hehe:

Now I know we probably have many other people dealing with these things but he doesn't really help himself at times. I suspect he does it to deliberately wind up some people.

No, you either do what's right or you don't, as that Niemöller fellow might've said.

To be fair, that is also exactly where the guy we were trying to buy was as well.

[redgunamo]

Also, when Pat Rice retired, Wenger made a pointed reference to the fact that one of the things He most loved and admired about him was his discretion, I think, as a veiled warning to Steve Bould not to go blabbing to his former team-mates, especially the ones still trying to make names for themselves in the media, about private club matters and training ground issues. Perhaps it's this guardedness from within the club that's led to the short fuse of a few of our former players?
