Anyone watching this England match v Peru?
Booooorrrrriiinng or what.
Rooney 300k a week that's got to be the biggest waste of money ever paid for a player. What does he do for England? absolutely nothing in my opinion. So glad we never ended up with him. Jacks just come on now let's hope he doesn't get over ambitious.

Totally agree Golds, I'm not saying Rooney isn't good, but over-rated IMO
Agree0

For utd when he's good he's very good, when he's bad he's awful.
For England when he's good he's playing against Malta or Luxembourg full stop.
Agree0

Are you having a pop at Malta G62?
I'm half Maltese, lol.

{Ed025's Note - well it says in the advert...you always get a giggle with maltesers dags.. :)
Haha dags, I'll tell ya what it's not so much maltesars that I have a problem with, more there children, agreed?
Agree0

No no DG Malta are a fine Footballing Nation and Rooney always raises his game for such occasions, its the minors of Germany and Portugal he can't seem to get him self up for.
Back to the mighty Mattresses do you remember when they beat Turkey in the Iceland world cup

Definitely Ed, hence the poor jokes, lol.
On a side note, I bet you was happy Jags played and scored and John Stones came off the bench?

Ouch Saint, but I agree lol.

*Confused*
Wenger says he is signing 2-3 players and we all know that a RB and a GK is a priority now.So what do you think will happen to the other compulsory areas the DMF, CF, CB, WG? Can someone please explain to me?
Believable0
Unbelievable0
He may not sign a RB, with Jenkinson & Bellerin covering the position. We of course need a keeper and the other two will be a midfield player & a forward.

Anyone else not mind eto'o if we could get him on a relatively decent wage
Believable0
Unbelievable0
I would be livid if we signed Eto'o. Far too old and simply not good enough. Plus, he would want a ridiculous wage.
Agree0
Disagree0
Say no to:
Eto'o
Remy
Heskey
Crouch
Agree0
Disagree0
Not for me Saint because he would than stop the development of Sanogo.
Oh, wait a minute.
Agree0
Disagree0
I would prefer Remy over Eto'o to be honest. Remy is a similar-type of player (I think he's better) and doesn't have ridiculous wages.
Watch Remy this World Cup. I have a feeling he will shine
Agree0
Disagree0
Aha, well and truly put in my place, I think he'd be alright, has a point to prove and could really help nurture the young players, on the other hand he could nurture them into money grabbing 'people'

Thank you Messenger, a man after my own heart.

Any one else seen Di Maria comments about Spurs!
Di Maria "It hurts when you’re always doing your best for your club and then you hear that you might be going to Tottenham."
This. Is. Brilliant.
Also in the same interview talked about possibility of moving this summer and how several clubs have already said they'll meet Madrid demands.
Sign him up!

Massive rumours that the deal for Alvaro Morata has been agreed. Also, Adrien Rabiot is another player we are negotiating to purchase.
Assuming we sign the above, the only reinforcements I can see are a keeper for sure and more than likely a right-back. A centre back will be signed if Vermaelen departs.
Keeper-wise, Ruddy would be a good purchase, as he would be reasonably priced, experienced and English (helps our foreign quota).
At Right-back, I would like to see Micah Richards, who is English and can play at centre back as well as at right-back.
Ashley Wiliiams would be a good shout if Vermaelen departs. He is Welsh so qualifies as a homegrown player and can cover at left-back.
Ideally we would need a 4th centre back, possibly a young up & coming player?
If the above signings are made the squad would be strong enough to compete on all fronts.

More young players with potential is possibly not what Gooners are hoping for in this transfer window. Surely, we don't sign a 21yo with potential, only to sell him back in a year or 2? Much prefer proven players that we get for keepsys. However, if we get Morata permanently, very good deal. Gives Giroud support, without ruffling his feathers as a "replacement". Rabiot looks great, but I'd hope we get a proven dm to mentor him. Really hope Griezman happens!
Agree0

Would take that along with a lw Greizman, Di Maria or Pedro?

Following the success of yesterday's quiz questions I have come up with a few more questions for you horrible lot. Remember, no google cheating. Just have an educated guess. Dagenham Gunner, just have a guess.
1) Following the FA Cup victory over Hull, how many MAJOR honours has Wenger won in his time as Arsenal Manager?(Don't include community shield or the Emirates cup or indeed the fourth place trophy!)
2) Which player has made the most appearances this season: and how many appearances did they make (in all competitions).
3) Arsenal scored their 9000th goal in their history this season. Question is, who scored it? Bonus points for guessing the opposition!
Good luck ladies and mental men!

No idea for the 3rd one but the first 2 I can make an educated guess haha

Was it me, did I do it?
Agree0

Ok not bad guys!
Wenger has won 12 major trophies in his time as manager of Arsenal.
Per Mertesacker was our leading appearance maker with 52 appearances.
No-one is even close with who scored our 9000th goal this season.
Agree0
Disagree0
I thought Wenger has won 3 Premier Leagues and 5 FA Cups with Arsenal including our FA Cup this season!?
Ill take a wild guess at Ramsey's goal to win us that most recent trophy?

Per
And for the 9000th goal, then man who always comes up trumps, koscielny?

Greeny,
sorry this is coming a bit late.
Just checked in now. the goal was scored by Ramsey (it also happens to be the last goal of the season and the goal that won us the FA cup and ended our trophy drought). special goal I must say.
Agree0

So. It wasn't me
Agree0

Ramsey's FA cup winner against Hull was indeed our 9000th goal! Well done team!

Also, apologies to all. Wenger has won 12 trophies at Arsenal but that included charity/community shields.

Can anyone please explain why Wenger hasn't signed his new contract?
I have a feeling he is delaying signing until he sees how France do in the World Cup. If they perform poorly there may be an opportunity for him to become manager, which I don't feel he will refuse.
The close season is taking the usual path. First we get linked with a host of top quality players, then we lose out in protracted negotiations. Finally, after we qualify for the CL proper, we are panicked into making last minute signings.
We have already lost Fabianski, Sagna, Viviano & Bendtner. We could possibly lose Vermaelen as well. So we need 4, possibly 5 players at least, just restore numerical balance to the squad. I know the window isn't actually open, but deals are clearly being done, subject to registration when the window opens.

If he wasn't going to sign a contract he wouldn't have said that he was. Iv said before it's more than likely already done. Arsenal as a club just don't shout about these things. Same when it comes to deals being done.
Agree0
Disagree0
If there's a gap between the old contract ending and the new one starting would Arsene be eligible to sign on?
That would please ukip I'm sure

G62, 😄, best thing I've ever heard, can just imagine him in his coat, with his envelope in his hand and faraga just looking on disapprovingly
