Boys, ignore Spursman he wants everyone to react to his posts!

On a positive note, is anyone still buzzing we got Sanchez?! The thought of Theo and Alexis attacking is mouth watering!

Mdog

Yeah I know mate but I kind of feel sorry for him as it turns out we're his heroes on this page and the only people who take any notice of him.
Be kind to Spursman everyone, think of him as someone who desperately wants to be a gooner but doesn't know how to ask, silly sausage

Spurman has obviously escaped from a secure unit ( white hart lane ) he will be caught and escorted back ready for the new season of over whelming success like they always have.

21 Jul 2014 12:17:48
A lot of truth to that G62. I kind of read his posts in the voice of a pre teen, has that vibe about it. Kill him with kindness. Seems like a kid desperate for attention, poor fella.

20 Jul 2014 21:16:54
Congratulations Dags, good news is a blessing,
but supporting the Arsenal, you've got to be messing.
buy her the shirt, and yes make it red,
just don't make her lie, in her fourth placed bed.
champions league, qualification at best,
is not much incentive, and hardly a test.
for your new little angel, your new liverbird?
should support liverpool, like her grandad. i, ve heard!


Kind regards

YNWA.

Hehe Sizemick,

Jokes are my thing so I'm not even going to attempt to "out-rhyme" you.

You Sir, are the master of that


Loved it. Respect.

20 Jul 2014 19:50:01
Spursman good news, your promotion record if far superior to ours mate, please don't thank me its my pleasure to help you remember your greatest under achievements.
In 1978 you finished 3rd in the second division behind?

20 Jul 2014 21:46:00
I honestly don't know.
Too young to remember, not even sure we were in 2nd division 78/79 season.

I'd like to add that in the time Wenger has been in charge spurs have won 2 trophies. 1 of which it took a gooner to lead them too it.

20 Jul 2014 19:15:29
Spursman,

I believe Spurs have recently obtained planning permission for a new stadium so let's see how you perform over the next 10 years while you're constructing it and paying it off. I suspect our last 10 years will prove to be more successful than your next 10. I reckon you might even flirt with relegation but let's see how things pan out.

Dags, many congratulations on the news. This is my first post but there must be a lot of people like me who observe from a galaxy far, far away and find you and the crazy gang to be quality entertainment. Spursman is f*cking hilarious, though.

Welcome Barney (hope you don't mind the name), got a feeling you'll fit in mate, first post and already on Spursman' back lol.

20 Jul 2014 21:47:14
Could we do any worse than boring boring Arsenal?
I certainly hope not.

20 Jul 2014 22:33:22
Thanks Barney.

welcome to the crazy shack.

keep posting mate.

20 Jul 2014 18:39:46
Jokes aside, congrats to Dag's for becoming a Grandad.
I think it will be the only thing you will be celebrating this season.
But seriously, keep up the jokes, you have a reputation for comedy Dags, but however funny you are, your team are more of a laugh.

Not as comical as you

I can understand a fan of a team who finishes above us coming on here to mock, but not one from a team who suffer from mid table mediocrity .

What a deluded world you spurs come from

20 Jul 2014 21:33:49
Spursman,

Slowly I am beginning to warm to you.

But only because this week is "Be nice to those less fortunate than you".

As a Spud, my god, you are less fortunate than most people on the planet.

20 Jul 2014 21:52:06
Mid table?
we normally finish one or 2 positions behind you and we don't have the world class players you have.
At least that's what you lot all think.
World class?
deluded.

Eh you had bale for a while?

20 Jul 2014 15:57:09
Express, Mirror, Daily Cannon and players agent all saying Arsenal looking to sign Catania right back Gino Peruzzi. Have you heard any information about this Edds?

Appreciate your reply

{Ed027's Note - No

Now why would we sign another right back?

That just doesn't make any sense

Its simple really. Jenkinson is not good enough. I like Bellerin but maybe not 2nd choice just yet

20 Jul 2014 17:47:50
Caught Offside are reporting that Smailholm Khedira will be unveiled tomorrow & also that Arsenal have agreed a deal worth £15.8 with A Milan for Balotelli.

Only time will tell how accurate this is I guess but personally I'd be happy with that

Would be very shocked that we agreed a deal and agreed personal terms without it becoming public.

Hope you're right though!

20 Jul 2014 18:21:31
Caught Offside is about as reliable as a 25 year old Honda Civic.

(Apologies to anybody who drives, or should I say pushes, a 25 year old Honda Civic).

20 Jul 2014 18:35:19
Hate to be the bearer of bad news mate, but C.O.S is the biggest bunch of rubbish out there.

If they told you the sky was up, you should double check.

20 Jul 2014 18:38:53
Sadly caught offside are dreadful with transfer knowledge.

As unreliable a source as it is I can only wish its true

Caught Offside is as bad as jokes from Dags

20 Jul 2014 21:36:02
Bambam,

You love my jokes mate.

I bet you write them all down, tell them to your workmates and take the credit.

I reckon you owe me a beer mate,lol

Hey! I drive a 25 year old Honda Civic (23 actually). Still perform like a spud though. Start her up and she's fine. try driving and she wobbles all over the place. I just leave her where she breaks down.Haha

Anyhoo. shout out to Grandpa Dags on the brand spanking new Gooner

20 Jul 2014 16:06:56
To Gunner62, Sagalout, Loonygoon and Akie.

Granted, you have won the league more, but despite the fact you think you are far superior to us (deluded or what), we have won plenty.

We have won facup 8 times, league cup 4 times, cup winners cup and the uefa cup twice.
Like I said. Deluded.

Ah so history makes you a big club?

So PSG are younger than Bergkamp, does that make them a small club?

20 Jul 2014 18:41:22
Genuine question for you spursman. What have you seen spurs achieve in your lifetime? I'm 25 and would happy share what I've seen my beloved gunners do

20 Jul 2014 18:57:42
Spurtman,

I don't know if you're aware but Wolves, Huddersfield Town and Blackburn Rovers have all won 3 league titles, in fact Sunderland have won 6 and Aston Villa 7.

Perhaps you could pop onto their respective pages and tell them how good Spurs, with your two titles, are. They may call you deluded but you'll be able to suck it up.

Better still Preston North End, Portsmouth and Burnley are on two titles each so maybe you could brag to them that you're going to overtake them sometime over the next millennium.

Chin up though littlen, An-Dross Cowshed is back from injury and will be running at defences wildly thrashing shots into the back of the stands some time soon.

20 Jul 2014 21:38:07
Love it Jenjen.

Absolute classic.

20 Jul 2014 14:52:33
here's a 'neat' trick for spursman and his friends; if you look at the table upside down you'll always be above us.

You've got Tim sherwood and Harry rednapp. You can put one down and let the other manage spurs, does it really matter what you choose?

20 Jul 2014 15:52:28
Here's a neat little trick.
If you buy another 9 world class players, you will still be an average team.

20 Jul 2014 16:48:00
As opposed to buying nine players every summer thinking they were world class only to find out your coaching staff turn them into mediocre dross in one season.

That's a better trick.

20 Jul 2014 16:51:45
Shouldn't you be celebrating bales champions league victory spursboy?

Com'on Spursman you can do better than this, hit us with ya best stuff mate.
You know the non repetitive stuff

So we are an average team and you still manage to finish below us. Year after year. Then what does it tell us?

You just made yourself look dumber than you already are.

Here's another tip, when you inevitably get knocked out of Europe in the first round, quickly switch to itv+1 and you'll still be in it!

20 Jul 2014 18:44:16
But at least when we sell our best players we invest the money back in the team.

Arsenal sell their players and pocket the money, no team investment and please don't tell me it went on the Emirates Stadium, you already had £150m put aside for that.
You are a team that rips off its own fans.

21 Jul 2014 02:20:14
150mil? For Ashburton Grove na mate maybe for your shed down the road but think more like 400mil + and you are closer to it

Third season in a row that we've spent 45mil on players, sit down mate

20 Jul 2014 14:13:28
Here's a quick question for you guys,

I know arsenal are linked with most players imaginable but what player(s) would you like to see at arsenal that haven't been linked or have barely been linked with us, barring the obvious messi, ronaldo etc

Reus and javi Martinez!

.

Good question, given that our midfield is pretty good and only a few arsenal fans would tamper with the defence, keeper was solid last season. The position I'd go for is ST and the player would be Aguero.

What do you mean it wouldn't happen?!

Reus or el sheraaway for LW, gundogan or Martinez for CM, Aguero or jese for ST, hummels or varane for CB. Don't think I'm asking for too much lol

Emile Heskey ;-)

20 Jul 2014 15:54:21
Whoever you get you will still be an average team.

David Villa

20 Jul 2014 16:50:14
Not true, if we signed the whole spurs squad we'd be below average.

20 Jul 2014 12:04:22
Can anyone on this page remember spurs winning the League?
Not just the premier league but old first division, I'm 52 and I've read about it happening somewhere years a go but have no memory of it.
Does anyone remember a proper spurs title challenge?
I remember in the early 80s them being about 6th in April but having 5 games in hand which if they were to win them all would put them 3rd and only 4pts behind the leaders, the media at the time talked of them winning it a lot that year, I think they finished 5th in the end.
There has to be someone older than me on this page surely :-) who can remember spurs being title contenders?

Back in the far reaches of my mind I can just about remember it. I was just a kid the world was younger then though it was devoid of colour the world was monochrome. Men wore suits & ties even in bed! Park keepers were employed to walk around with sharp sticks to pick up litter.
Kids were seen & not heard, wearing school uniforms with caps & badges.
Strange large plate sized plastic discs called 78's were put on record players. Dansettes & 45's were the future. Luxembourg faded in & out of crystal sets & London Fog was normal. Even Motown was yet to hit our light programmes on the BBC oh happy days so long ago.

20 Jul 2014 13:01:04
Nah mate you are the oldest here.

we will start calling you Grandad G, lol.

20 Jul 2014 13:01:23
Can anyone remember Spurs doing ANYTHING , ever?! Spursman is obviously bored watching his team attempt to recreate the Dutch style of play , except , being Spurs they have renamed it , Total Crap .

He will understand what a fool he is making out of himself soon and return to the rock from which the spurs come from.

Dags I can beat gunner 62 by a good few yrs 1st went to Highbury in 58! Strewth Just frightened meself with me age there, think I need a sit down.

You cheeky little bliter young Dagenham you, I've a good mind to report you to your headmaster, if I could find me bus pass I would too young man

20 Jul 2014 15:40:18
Hehe sorry G62.

I'm not far behind mate, at 47.

DG already 47 and only just a grandad. Call yourself an Essex man! Surely at 47 you should be at the great great grandad stage!

20 Jul 2014 10:24:03
Wow,

Who is this joker Spursman?

Mate, shouldn't you be called Spursboy or Spursdoughnut?

Banter is good buddy and you are more than welcome on this site, the more the merrier, but seriously, how any Spud can have a pop at a Gooner is beyond me.
(Although, to be fair, in an earlier post to Ed025 you did say you thought Dag's was funny, lol. only decent thing you have said mate)

Trust me fella, there are some serious people on here, who will shoot you down in flames, all in good banter though.

We beat you 3 times last season, got a feeling you are going to take another beating on here (in terms of banter), if you keep posting ridiculous comments.

But keep coming back Spursdoughnut, I enjoy your Primary School humour.

This is a team that list on their site the Ipswich Hospital Cup as an honour!
2nd to us in everything, leg wins cups doubles we were even in Nth London before em! (They didn't become part of London till '68)
Poor sad people so nearly gooners but so far away.

20 Jul 2014 10:16:21
SM1966,

You brag on about Arsene building the stadium and having to sacrifice winning things to do so, you moan that other supporters don't appreciate the work Wenger did and the sacrifices.
Total bull**** because the people who have moaned the most over the past 5 or 6 years have been Arsenal supporters.
What group of supporters have constantly chanted "Wenger out", even the people on here have said it a lot, even your beloved dags has said it, ok a long time ago but he still posted it on here.
And Flybo and Goldboy.
Your argument sucks mate.

20 Jul 2014 10:29:20
Wow, decent memory Spursdoughnut.

Yes, you are correct, I did say it about a year ago, but it wasn't "Wenger out", it was more of a rant that Arsene should take a more director of football role, due to his lack of spending.

I'm big enough and ugly enough to admit I was wrong, and have said so on numerous post's.

Maybe you should now be big enough to run along now little fella.

Spursman I totally understand your pain my friend and the inner turmoil you must be going through.
You sense we are once again on the rise after what has been for us a barren spell, but now after the fa cup and an end to the spending restrictions you fear yet another Arsenal surge of glory years heading your way and feel its now or never to have a pop, so very understandable
Let it all out my friend its totally totally understandable

Its easy to say we have moaned but we have always continued to stick by Arsenal, and that's what counts, building a stadium is huge if your spurs brain can comprehend this, we house 60,000 capacity now, compared to what u or looserpool can host 40k? that's 20K more in terms of everything. Look at Manchester United they can hold 70K and hence such a big club.

You wish you were an Arsenal fan don't you? You're on here more than I am!

Was at your White Hart Lane last season for the Arsenal game. The Arsenal fans out sang you the whole match.

20 Jul 2014 11:44:46
Coming from the team so fikkle with managers how many is it now? 16 managers in 18 years since Wenger took over take a bow son you point is null and void.

Well I can't speak for other posters but I think he's done a great job. Have there been times when I've thought maybe his time was over? of course. It would be ignorant not to question your manager if the team you love are struggling. I mean you can't expect fans to be happy when your losing 8-2 with a load of youth players on the pitch and 2 of your best players being sold. Oh and you should always look at your club first so if people moan about wenger or the players it's through frustration because they love arsenal and want to see the club be successful. So maybe you should worry about your own team rather than obsess about arsenal because you could be in trouble this year. I'll let the posters you mentioned defend their self because I'm sure they have valid responses.

.

20 Jul 2014 09:40:47
Supposedly arsenal have had a €30m (£23.7m) bid rejected for William carvalho as sporting want as close to the £37m release clause in his contract.

E round be class at arsenal reminds me a lot Of Viera give arsene time to mould him and he could be the best centre mid in the world along with pogba in a few years

20 Jul 2014 08:55:03
SPURSMAN

Banbury has a 'U' in it.

And starts with a capital letter .place name.

Just saying xx

20 Jul 2014 09:31:11
.If podolski leaves will we need to fill a position?

Im thinking sanchez will be on the wing but also up front as walcott returns. Just dreaming here, could we chase Rues? Or even Griezmann.

Or will Santi be on the left with walcott right and sanchez rotating as a forward?

20 Jul 2014 04:02:03
Hi Ed,
Now that Remy seems set for Liverpool, do you see Arsenal bringing in anyone else in the ST position? You've mentioned Bony before, is he of serious interest? Is there anyone else of interest, Lacazette, Lukaku, Balotelli or a wide player that may be converted centrally, like Greizmann, Reus or Draxler, someone of that ilk?

{Ed027's Note - I think we will see another attacker join the club

Remy will go to Liverpool now I reckon!
It seems pretty done and dusted.
I've heard a few whispers we were never actually seriously in for Remy and that most of the rumour comes from his appearance at the FA cup!
(Of course that could just be people's excuses as to why we didn't go after Remy, who knows!)

Reus will stay at Dortmund this season I think, Barca wanted him early in the window, but his injury scuppered their interest.

Bony would be great.
A lot of people point out that Giroud had a better goal tally overall, but as much as I like Giroud, he's a very, very immobile forward in a league and system that requires pace.

Bony has strength, speed, technique.
He's a very complete forward IMO, and I think with someone like Özil playing him in and Sanchez and Walcott playing off him as wide forwards, more than traditional wingers, I reckon bony would score for fun.
Swansea want about £25m for him apparently and I wouldn't be too annoyed if we spent that In honesty!


But still, for me there's this little bit of hope we'll still gamble on Mario.

Sanchez is a player that has immense talent and will work hard for 90 minutes.
That's a fantastic asset to our team.

Balotelli has the same talent, but he can play like rubbish for 89 minutes, then have 15 seconds of sheer mad genius, that wins you a game.

Those two coupled with Özil, it's a mouthwatering prospect for me!

19 Jul 2014 18:31:49
Eds, what's the situation with Wellington Silva? Whenever I've seen him he looks like he's got some talent but he's always out on loan, is there a problem with his work permit or is it just wenger wanting him to have game time?

{Ed027's Note - couldn't get a permit again this year, last I heard he was off to Almeria on loan?

I think he will get his Spanish passport after one more year then he will not need a visa! He was rated as highly as Neymar and Lucas at one point in Brazil then he came to us and has stagnated ever since these work visa issues hopefully he will come good a very quick tricky player on his day but tbf has gone sideways since he joined us at 17 :/

19 Jul 2014 23:36:06
Hi eds, I have heard a few whispers that we are going all out to get bender, do any of you guys know if this is true, I believe this is the man we need most, thanks guys

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea what that means.}

Sorry ed002, Pushing hard to get the deal done
