Arsenal Banter Archive June 20 2015

20 Jun 2015 19:38:01
Evnin everybody and a special mention to Commander Jin Kent, always a pleasure.

Blimey, I abscond for a few days and we get invaded by The Mancs.

I think they have come on here because they want to taste a bit of our success.

C'mon Chris, Rosie and Badger, we have given you our 4th place trophy.

Look after it, you will be having it for a few years (all fun and banter).

20 Jun 2015 20:01:46
How was it in Malaga's basement? 😜

All good fun here! (Apart from Marcellus lol)

20 Jun 2015 20:14:46
Dags did you get a day release, nice to see they let you out again.

20 Jun 2015 20:21:03
Very cold and wet Honey 😉.

Marcellus is ok mate.
Shame he supports Chelsea though.

20 Jun 2015 23:04:05
P.s. Never come across this Jim Kent fella before but he seems like a right classy gent its a pleasure to read his posts (no sarcasm intended). Just a shame he's Arsenal 😃

20 Jun 2015 23:01:07
He's ok, it's just that his classless and humourless banter reminds me of what team he supports! 😃

21 Jun 2015 00:06:56
Behave yourself Honey.

Speaking of behaving yourself, is RVP still throwing his toys out the pram and demanding he should be playing automatically next season?

I read his article in paper this week, saying he is not "a puppet" and won't sit on the bench.

What a Cutch Dunt :-)

21 Jun 2015 06:00:44
My "he's ok" comment was obviously for Marcellio not any of you gooners

May have had 5 or 6 drinks too many last night resulting in my posts becoming less coherent 👀

21 Jun 2015 08:25:09
Honey,

Celebrating that 4th place trophy heh?

21 Jun 2015 09:56:57
Dags,

I actually like you guys and like CTR likes to consider himself your clubs voice of reckoning I am theirs.

That young lad is a heller for copying me and others who have been owning him for some time now.

They love using the usual, look at our trophies, we are the biggest club in the world, yawn.

To me last season there were 3 teams who looked like a team, us, you, albeit only from January, and in my opinion Southampton, but for the injury to Foster they would have run United closer for your old 4th place trophy.

United are currently a mix of triers, not good enoughs and the odd player of quality.

They love to justify players like Carrick, clearly not good enough for a top team, good player but past what sell by date he ever had, yet for them a big miss. Says it all.

Anyone but a United fan can see the difference Coquelin has made and you only have to watch him to see the potential.

I love that CTR whilst tells you what he THINKS and that out trumps what you guys THINK is happening here.

I found this site a while back and after reading some of the stuff they come up with on the United page just had to register for some fun.

At the moment they're creaming themselves over a young Brazillian who scored in the U20 World Cup, another new Ronaldo on the horizon. ;-)

So Matic and Fabregas, Cazorla and Coquelin or the mighty Carrick and Herrera. lol.

Apparently Herrera is classy and has an eye for goal, I once read that about Charlie Adams. ;-)

21 Jun 2015 14:56:29
Lol, you got me there dags!

Evening Marcellus.

21 Jun 2015 15:40:13
Evening Honey,

Please don't think the term fella was an attempt to be intimidating, now should I say mate, geezer, dude, see it's not easy to know what to put without causing concern.;-)

Your Avatar is threatening enough as it is. ;-)

You are actually one of the more honest United posters and I get you for sticking up for Carrick but who ever you compare him too I'm certain you'd actually love an upgrade.

Same for Herrera, I could see him as a first teamer for say the Saints or Everton even though he is an upgrade on your current mids but United need to get some serious quality in there. :-)

21 Jun 2015 16:21:35
Oh great my stalker is back lol.

Still taking down all them notes Marcellus? Remember the ones that u claimed to have? :) glad your back after being schooled by bond after that mishap :)

U see gooners, Marcellus needs u puppies to be onside because otherwise his 'banter' is pulled apart all over the place.

Still I don't know what's sadder, him or you guys for lapping it up. It was Liverpool fans last season now u lot are the chosen ones :)

Love u really Marcellus, u funny little man you :)

21 Jun 2015 17:33:16
Id love an upgrade on any player, wouldn't you? any improvement is good and whilst I rate Carrick highly he's getting on and there are certainly one or two players out there who could be classed as a step up. Its not like I've said he's the best in Europe or something!

Id respect your opinion more if you slagged off players who actually aren't good though e.g. Evans, Jones rather than the ones who are good.

Id also respect your opinion more if you were able to give reasoned arguments, Herrera is a good player and the only thing I've heard levelled at him is "never been picked for Spain" as if that proves anything

Like I said people need to take the time to watch games and make an assessment on what they see rather than rely on stats, highlights or in this case basing a whole argument on innuendo like "never played for Spain". I've no interest in that type of hyperbole

Its just a symptom of todays society I'm afraid, too many people want instant headlines rather than taking the time to assess things themselves and too many keyboard warriors just happy to make childish digs on an anomonous forum based on lack of true understanding 😉

Anyways, this is the Arsenal site and I respect the gooners here enough to stop debating about United with a Chelsea fan and taking up more valuable space. Another time another place!

20 Jun 2015 18:54:09
Any ideas why we were after Howedes? We have 3 top quality centre backs for two positions and Chambers making up the fourth. I can't imagine we could keep 4 happy, if we were to sign a centre back. Perhaps we will send Chambers out on loan next season?

20 Jun 2015 19:19:13
Maybe u don't have 3 top quality centre backs?

20 Jun 2015 19:30:09
Who are we to argue with that? If there's one thing Man U fans should be able to identify these days, it's three below-par CBs...

20 Jun 2015 20:13:32
The thing I read said we were after him last summer, not this. Still think we could use another top quality CB though if there's on available. Chambers has potential but I don't see him getting near our team any time soon...

20 Jun 2015 20:36:02
We haven't got three qualitt cb and we don't have three quality left backs, that's why.

20 Jun 2015 20:56:10
i would hope to replace mert, have people forgotten the ducking incidents and how slow he is? not to mention if kos picks up another major injury, that leaves us with a largely untested gabriel and potential liabilitys in mert and chambers. plus everyone is calling for cech and a striker not because giroud or ospina have done much wrong, but because it will improve us, the same can be said for bringing in an improved and younger defender

20 Jun 2015 22:24:31
Still think we need a quality cb

20 Jun 2015 22:46:19
Mert just doesn't cut it in defence if we wanna win the league , his pace is a liability and kos is constantly covering him . I would keep him in the squad but would I rather another top class cb? Hell yes

20 Jun 2015 23:02:50
No Eden I certainly haven't forgotten either of his ducking incidents, if it was down to me he'd have been subbed and sacked on the spot at Stoke the first time he did it.
Funny thing is Arsene got abused at the train station that day and very few people even mentioned MerterDUCKER.

20 Jun 2015 16:14:23
So the on trend reports of the day are carvalho. The bid is supposed to be 28.5 million. Rave reviews of his performance against england u21. I watched the game and to be fair no big deal for me! Surely if we would bid that much for him then we could get kondogbia for a cheaper price. That to me is a no brainer. So guys if this is a possition we are going to buy who do you want. Kondogbia for me all day long. Thoughts please

20 Jun 2015 16:25:23
Schneidlerin is a safer bet than both and could play more positions… don't know why AW would hesitate on the price for Spyder and then go out and pay 28 million for either of the other 2 - so as usual something doesn't smell right with the rumor mill.

20 Jun 2015 16:57:30
Kondogbia, i though he was fantastic against us in the CL.

20 Jun 2015 18:11:02
Kondogbia is going to inter 22 mil. Bargain at that for me.

20 Jun 2015 18:16:09
Sorry to disagree but personally I would go for Carvalho.

He has something of a Yaya Tours about him. He is a Defensive Mid naturally but floats into a number ten position against teams when his team is in the ascendency, similar to Yaya, and can play those through balls and attacking passes. Strong and powerful to. And can play as Centre Back.

Seems the best contender to me. Closely followed by Kondogbia.

Schneiderlin we have players who can potentially play the role he does, Let Coquelin and Jack deliver that for us.

Just my pennies worth.

20 Jun 2015 18:46:18
Yeah it doesn't make sense to me either . But carvalho would be last choice of the three mentioned

20 Jun 2015 22:00:33
Yeah seen the inter link. 22 million there's no reason we should get piped to him over inter unless we actually didn't want him.

20 Jun 2015 22:26:20
I'm a big fan of javi Martinez he has been injured but he's a world class player and my ideal choice

20 Jun 2015 22:42:59
spider for me...proved he can cut it in the premiership...the others are playing in the equivalent to the championship....

20 Jun 2015 23:12:26
Preach it Imired

20 Jun 2015 13:01:29
Hi all this year I've made a promise to myself that Iam going to a few home gamea I've only ever seen us live once and that was against Utd at old Trafford in the cl, and I was wondering can I buy tickets outside the stadium

20 Jun 2015 14:26:46
Jelfy.

To be honest probably best to try and get them from the club via Red Membership.

Or ask people who have season tickets who might not be going to a particular match.

I will keep my ears open and if any of my friends are not going will ask them on your behalf.

Good morning all.

Hi to G62, DG, Saint, ED001, ED002, the Gooner ED025 ;), Laker, Stoner, if your about, Gun, CTR, hope the Little one is good, and everyone else I cannot remember as my 2 year old is trying to get in on the act whilst I am typing this on my phone.

Firstly. Well. I did say throughout the season I thought we would have a better season, which we did, but I thought we would get second, which we missed.

I am still pretty happy how things seem to be progressing.

Now. Everyone that knows me knows I never ever type a rumour, as it is very unlikely often I ever hear of anything that I feel confident enough to put forward but today I have to inform.

My God son has a friend who works at the Emirates. In the last week he rang my God son to tell him that 3 players associated agents have been at the Emirates. I am not saying they are have signed but definitely attended. So don't shoot the messenger, just thought it Would be an interesting titbit for the weekend.

The 3 are Cech, Benzema and Vidic (I challenged this one, but that is what he said)

Anyway. Looking forward to the roller-coaster ride ahead. Always reading just too busy to type lately.

CTR. Did I hear you are getting married some time soon? If so, congrats and good luck. Hope the preparations are going well.

ED025. Are you getting the new Arsenal home or away shirt for the season ahead? ;)

And isn't it time a load of us tried to get together for a lunch drink as a group. Considering the laughter that is generated, a good old pub lunch sounds like it might be a worthwhile pursuit.

Anyway. Being dragged off to the garden to play football. How am I going to cope when the second child arrives in Nov!

Love to everyone, best wishes to those they love. Let the banter stay fun, challenging,, humorous with an edge but never personal and directly offending!

Time to down periscope (G62 will get that)

Hi sub commander great to hear from you again mate, well things deffinately did improve as you said although none of us ever dreampt at the time that Le Coq would be the man to turn our season around.
I think next season we will see the very best of Mesut Ozil which will in my opinion bring out the very best of many of those around him and if we add Cech I'd be getting very excited then add Benzema then I'd be very very excited and constantly asking how many sleeps to the season?
Hope you get to surface a bit more often next season mate and you continue to avoid lives depth charge's :-)

20 Jun 2015 12:33:28
Cheers buddy, yes I am getting married.

Hope your well.

20 Jun 2015 14:21:36
I wish you and the wife to be the best day when it happens.

20 Jun 2015 17:13:12
Ctr when you getting married mate? If you can hang on until November and Mrs Jin kent doesn't mind being punctual we could all come to your wedding and celebrate the arrival of the new submariner :-)
What a wedding reception that would be :-) Dags telling jokes, Ed025 walking around in his buggie smugglers after a few to many southern comforts, Malaga walking round all night saying Evening to everyone in his best Ray Winston and 274 going around correcting everyone's pronunciation all night.
What do you think Chris, can't think why not mate can you? :-)

20 Jun 2015 19:21:13
U couldn't afford the bar mate, having said that i would put my card behind if dags promised not to tell jokes

20 Jun 2015 20:07:11
CTR. I would be happy to split the load on that cost. :)

20 Jun 2015 20:57:09
Count me in lads, I'm more than happy with chipping into GAG opposed to gags fund for the Dagala :-)

20 Jun 2015 03:18:27
Gunners, please sign Van Dijk from Celtic. Exactly the type of player you need. Selfishly don't want him to believe but if he does then it's a perfect fit. What a player he is #monthegunners
