Detroit Gooner

Cant sell him now, he's on 100k a week. No one will pay him even half that.

Could it be that CC, Malaga, Metal & Ed002 are all the same person? They have all vanished!

Come back guys, it's boring without you.

I was thinking that for sometime before the drama happened. If it is true, then I wonder what that chap is like in front of a mirror.

Nas

Agree with the first line, but why want the moaning monty brigade back?

The Eds can confirm that their IP addresses are different, they've done it before.

I don't think ED002 and Metal are the same but possibly CC and Malaga are, Malaga has a habit of turning up on the site when the transfer window opens and CC disappears.
Metal and CC share the same views in my opinion.
But if they all the same it don't matter because I never served my apprenticeship under Bergkamp it was Henry.

Have I missed something I enjoyed the banter what went down on here with ed002 since I've been back from traveling its all gone quite can anyone explain please.

So glad they are gone (not ed002). Was getting so repetitive and boring.

Jensen Hatrick

Champagne charlie already came on here and confirmed that he was using the name malaga gooner, and he did it over a month ago. He gave some lame excuse about being unemployed and at home bored.

pretty cool guy.

Oh good, they are gone so you guys can keep drooling over players we will never buy and keep worshipping a person clueless manager.

ooh will we sign Isco, Jovetic or break the bank with CR7. blah blah blah!

They kept it real.
CC and Malaga were the same.
Metal was Raz

As Malaga Gooners biggest fan, and therefore Champagne and Metals, I can confirm that no one wants them back on here posting. There was one month where he posted as Champagne Charlie so often I thought he had his own exclusive rumour page

Paul

Raz changed his name to Metal Gooner after some time away from the page, because he would get so much stick for his posts and there were anonymous posts continuing to get personal with him. He came back and said as much, after a few weeks posting as MG.

Anyone who thinks Champagne Charlie is metal has no brain. There's every chance CC and Malaga were the same and even Tony Soprano.

You're right the page is quiet without them.

Ed002 could have named and shamed the posters giving him abuse. He also could have cheered up a whole lot and not answered everybody's posts like someone who didn't want to be here.

But yeah, guess the page is now way 'better' with the one line posts and daft transfer speculation.

And like I said - the Eds can easily confirm the IP addresses of at least MG, CC and Ed002 were all different. {Ed027's Note - Metal and Charlie are different people, Malaga is also different

Thanks Ed027, maybe now posters will stop chatting nonsense about them. They're gone, let's just leave it at that.

Well didn this one spiral, personally I thought it was a joke but some people "why so serious" lol

szczesny's father has come out and said that szczesny was playing injured for a couple of months, and then when he returned from injury, he was thrown in at the deep end without any recovery/training time.

he basically blames wenger entirely for his son's drop in form, and says he has a lot to answer for.

in my opinion, this isn't going to help his son very much. infact because its wenger, it would probably be the opposite, and we won't see him again for the rest of the season!

Szczesny hasn't matured as a keeper & needs this wake up call. Fabianski looked a far more mature & vocal keeper, whilst keeping two consecutive clean sheets.

Would anyone else here take Sanchez from Barcelona?

He is going to leave this window (I think)
He is top quality, he shouldn't cost too much (don't barca owe us money or something?)

I think he could be a ripper signing,

Thoughts?

Nick.

Alexis would be a brilliant signing. just absolutely lethal. think of a front line of sanchez on the left, wally on the right and poldi in them middle. absolutely lethal. we are done with the midfield poultry. however we still need a CDM and a RB and a CB and a backup GK or make our current GK the backup.

Sanchez, ibrahimovic, cesc, all play the position in barcelona occupied by the magician. why would they be given an opportunity? is anyone else really better than him?

Cesc cannot hold down a starter spot, he cannot play on the wing and he cannot play where xavi does.

Sanchez can play on the wing. but his movement is mostly in straight lines of off the ball movement. not a lot of roaming allowed for a player of his ability.

At arsenal with no messi he would have the freedom to move and implement himself in useful areas. poldi and wally and sanchez can interchange and it would be brilliant. however I see it unlikely to happen.

I like him, but do we need another player who has had fitness problems? and I would dubious of signing any player from Barca, i'd probably get 10 goals a season in that team haha

the player I would love to see at Arsenal would be Gonzalo Higuain

1404

Your post is spot on generally, but cesc has started a LOT of games for barcelona this season. Only their main stars (messi, iniesta, pique, alvez) have started more I think. Alex song might be struggling at barca, but cesc fits in perfectly.

Sanchez to arsenal would be excellent, because I believe we need a good winger, more than we need a good striker (though we need both)!

I am aware cesc fits in that team. but they only have soo many slots and in the champions league encounter with milan it was a fact that he would have hindered their progress if he played upfront. so he did not play at all.

eventually he will play the xavi role no doubt. regardless I wish him the best. and he will be fine. he is a very talented player.

sad for song as he will be a wasted talent. and sad for sanchez unless he really does look at us as an option.

we need his kind. hard working and quick. he would be the right player. we have Ox and gervinho to use as subs for the wings then.

. we sell our best to Barca and then buy their rejects. Super!

Its not like sanchez is a reject. its not like silvester from man u. that is a reject.

ive just seen a FB announcement about boycotting the Wigan and United game to be 'heard' to the board. IMO I thought this might have been over given the last couple of results and the fact we all know this last run in is imperative we get maximum results so if any of you are part of the 'BSM' then please read the following;

this is pathetic. absolutley pathetic. maybe if you took your negative vocals/actions and converted it into some positive vocals/actions you might see a change in performance on the pitch. its partly u lot boycotting the games and putting the players down that puts such a negative vibe on the team and other fans etc. just go to the games and shout your heart out for the club cause if your hearts in it then youl want us to get 3rd/4th, youl want CL for the money involved and the names we can attract. there's 9 games to go with 27 points for grabs and your talkin about missing games and causing a ruckuss, wtf? rubbish fans, just drive YOUR team to 3rd and enjoy it! this isn't by any means a trophy but u know it will b us who feels embaressed if we drop below the scums, enter (or even miss out) europa and ul b thinkin well maybe if we'd turned up that day. just a thought for you.

GTID what ever the result, home, away, rain, shine - GTID!

COYG!

I think we should just get behind the team for the remaining 9 games and get ourselves in to the champions league.
After that we should stop going to the games until we spend enough and strengthen the squad. So until 31st Aug we can see what is happening and by not going to the stadium, let the board know hey have time until the transfer window closes or get used to the empty chairs.

What do people think when we heard that the challenge by McManaman on the Newcastle player won't be taken further by the FA? I think its a disgrace that such players are still allowed to carry on playing, and he isn't the only one.

Former ref Graham Poll (who booked a player 3 times) compiled a top 10 list of the worst tackles he had seen and surprise, surprise, none of them included leg breaks to Eduardo, Ramsey and Diaby, and not even Balotellis on Song last season, but I suppose its more a surprise he managed to count to 10.

Point is, this has to be dealt with as hard as possible and if in the cases of Roy Keane or Ben Thatcher, then it should be considered as assault which the police should deal with.

Keane also claims that Nani's red card was justified (for me, it was a harsh decision but not a howler, if that makes sense) and that's fine, but its the manner in how he comes across and aggressively makes his opinions heard, and as good a player he was, I just cannot stand him.

I think the rule as it currently stands needs to be scrapped. You need consistency in decisions, it makes no sense for a panel to be able to overturn red cards, but not to have a panel review dangerous play even if seen by a match official. Of course, once the panel is set up an increasing fine / ban regime should be set up for repeat offenders (that type of player).
In fairness, the same should go for simulation (that type of player).

I think this helps the referee out and moves the game forward much like goal line technology, it is impossible for the referee in an instant with no replay to see everything or if he sees it to have a perfect angle or the stones to make the call (especially if he is a linesman) a panel would take that pressure off and as I mentioned above it is already occurring on some decisions already. BUT importantly you would limit the variation between referees on what is a red card offence.

As to involving the police, I think only in the clearest of cases, assaulting a fan or writing in your autobiography that you intentionally injured the person, should an assault charge be laid. (Funny that those two classy individuals come from the same club. )

Where it is a heat of the moment challenge even if poorly conceived I think that the police are best left out of the equation.

Even the Shawcross challenge, although terrible, was a player attempting to go for the ball, not intending to injure rambo. He was miles behind, but I do not think he is intending to break the individual's leg.

If you go out in your car and go a bit too fast or answer your mobile and end up crashing and killing a few assorted pedestrians. is it ok to say well I wasn't actually trying to hurt anyone?
