*Official* English Football Season 2010-11

[Jarquis]

Neither Cesc or RVP starting
Almunia, Sagna, Song, Vermaelen, Clichy, Rosicky, Diaby, Wilshere, Walcott, Arshavin, Chamakh

 

[duffer]

Was thinking about Diaby tbh when I wrote that. Both of them really. 3 points and a couple of new players in before Blackburn hopefully.

 

[Jarquis]

Apparently we are involved in open negotiations for 6 players

Haha, ITSTL, source?

 

[duffer]

Yes Marcus, where? Don't do this to me.

 

[Jarquis]

We're not going to sign all 6 obviously..
There are the obvious ones which are the most advanced, Schwarzer and Squillaci, the contigency plans of Spahic and Jagielka who the door is still open for. We made a bid for Jagielka which was rejected, Everton made a counter offer, one involving Rosicky which we rejected, or another cash only deal, which we haven't responded to.
Then the final two which we've supposedly enquired about are Sedar Tasci and Gary Cahill.
Supposedly Arsenal have made contact with all of their clubs about a prospective transfer.

Was "not denied" by John Cross.

 

[GIMH]

Fans only relate to what they see, though.

Yeah, so the people who watch these players every week live, rather than just on TV, are the best ones to judge them, no?

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Inclined to agree. Gets too badly exposed at times at right-back by his relative lack of pace and doesn't yet have the physical presence for centre-half. Falls between the two stools a bit.

Um, Micah lacking pace? Couldn't be a more wrong statement. He's often caught flat footed due to reading the game so poorly but he is lightning.

 

[Jarquis]

Arsenal started well

 

[Jarquis]

FEEEEOOOOOOO! Apparently he's been excellent so far, put a few good balls across the box and now got himself a goal. WAFG.

 

[Scaly piscine]

CDMs flat-track bullying nicely then. May as well just pencil them in for the 3rd and have done with it really. Such a predictable team.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Oh and that *cough* prolific goalscorer *cough* Chamakh rattling them in as well.

 

[Flyonthewall]

Fourth division's looking to be where it's at, Rotherham 5-3 up on Cheltenham after the away side were 3-1 up

 

[Jarquis]

That one's for you Scaly.

 

[Scaly piscine]

He finally scored one. Awesome player.

Will gloss over the one he shinned over the bar...

 

[cover drive man]

Last time I checked Chelsea were 12/1 to beat Wigan by five or more goals at William Hill. Could be worth a wager

 

[Jarquis]

He finally scored one. Awesome player.

Yeah because I just heralded him as the next Gerd Muller?

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah, so the people who watch these players every week live, rather than just on TV, are the best ones to judge them, no?

Huh? That has nothing to do with my post at all?

 

[Jarquis]

So a cleansheet for Almunia
30 shots to Blackpool's 5 and 12 on target to their one. Should've had more than 6 tbh.

 

[Nate]

Stoke dreadfully unlucky not to end up 2-2.
