you don't say...

yoyo spews the obvious, "we can never be champions this way"

cornered critters bite

gooners 4: toteringham 4
-silvestre 37, gallas 46, adebayor 64, van persie 68
-bentley 13, bent 67, jenas 89, lennon 90

given our involvement in that last gasp win in the 78/79 fa cup final, should have known that it ain't over till the fat lady sings. pity it had to be the current spurs team to remind us.

some arseblogs even posted a 4-2 win ...!

anyway wengker's take ... here and here

could not afford the loss of the 2 points ... but objectively, was shaping up to be a decent enough game (ie. a win), it's just that we lost concentration in the end ...... same old, same old ...

wengker said he would like to keep the positives ... yes, positively sad.

what's next? stunned by stoke?

didn't do him much harm

not quite hammertime

but i'll take it . . . . . . gooners 2: ham sandwich 0 (1 og and 1 yoyo)

that "gallouise"

can't the man smoke on his own time?

wengker is said to be unhappy ... but what's the basis, legal or moral? is there a no smoking provision in his contract? if not, then its moral but who the f*ck gave le gaff the right to pontificate? just not in public? keeping up appearances? ... how very english.

what next? ... boy-man caught downing a pint of ale down at the pub? ... cesc caught wearing a fur coat? ... yoyo caught speeding in his rangy ... abc caught doing a "hugh grant" ... jeez! where will it end?

stick to onfield issues, you wengker.

there are some blogs which opine that if gallas were a better player, his smoking "indiscretion" could be overlooked ... what utter cr*p.

he's either dead or north korean

i thought busts were for those who have departed ...

something like this next? ... jeez

messiah ... not

swollen

european teams running scared of us ... ? boy-man starting to brag and spew hyperbole ... here

hull city and sunderland could be considered european, couldn't they?

needs an ice-pack ... his head's swollen. long way to go, kid.

not bad but ...

gooners 5: the turks 2

yoyo 10, boy-man 11, diaby 22, song 49, boy-man II 90.

moves flowed and most chances taken ... however it was the same sorry tale at the back. a better team would have given us the sh*ts. the pet spaniard and our almost english goalie did show spurts of brilliance though.

is there a fullback in the room?

sagna, gallas and now toure. hope the coffee's good in istanbul ...

the facts

after 8 games, we're below hull city . . . 17 points to 16 . . . ! what next? uefa cup next season?

flattering scoreline

gooners 3 : toffees 1

nasri, rvp and boy-man, all 2nd half strikes.

it was just painful watching the 1st half, no one (especially in the engine room) had any idea. training sessions have more urgency and direction. chances go begging or merely blasted at goal thoughtlessly ...

the osman goal was a shocker ... the backs just stood rooted around and let him do his thing ... er, sort of rolled in, didn't it?

the 2nd round was slightly more heartening but only just ...

challenging for the premiership are we, arsene? here ... not likely with the way we're goin. much stronger teams await, buddy.

and shrek said ...

"belarus are a good football team and passed the ball well, probably in the same style as the way arsenal play" ... !!!

unfortunately, there's some truth in it ...

one presumptuous git

craig "9 iron" bellamy offers to "mentor" ramsey! here

what could this violent little sh*t possibly contribute to the boy's development?

he's got the runs ...

17th october 2008
india v australia, 2nd test, chandigarh
tendulkar s.r. 88 (c. hayden b. siddle)

12,027 not out

its a war out there

our walking wounded ... here

this weekend ... some potentially sticky toffee for dessert ... and then turkish coffee to "finish" things off.

all alone in the middle?

cesc says ... here ... po boy.

plus he's got a broken nose ... international duties ... jeez.

not on your best day, buddy

shaved one trick pony says: he can't keep up with the boy-man ...here

come on, he was never in that league just lucky.

how many psi till he blows?

too much attention and therefor pressure on the boy-man in general and for the match against the kazakhs in particular ... bloody ridiculous. the antithesis of what wengker does ... nurture. hope he doesn't come back with injured body and mind...

doldrums

breaks for international duty really suck ... another week before we get to chew on the toffeemen ... proper opposition? hopefully no mo injuries this weekend... fingers crossed
