*Official* English Football Season 2011-12

[Neil Pickup]

Arsenal to go down.

 

[Jarquis]

Cahill/Jagielka + Hazard + M'villa + LB

 

[Cevno]

As if Wenger will ever spend that much money in one go

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

You can have Wayne Bridge, Emmanuel Adeybayor, Craig Bellamy, Nedum Onouha, Roque Santa Cruz, Shaun-Wright Phillips and Dedryck Boyata for 20p.

 

[Cevno]

And City will also pay half their massive wages

BBC Sport - Liverpool in negotiations to sign Uruguay's Sebastian Coates

Anyone seen much of this guy? The guy is 6"5' & built like tank and was young player of the tournament in the Copa America. I've never seen him play though.

**** off sheepshagging Prem ****e. Giantkillers on the march again.

 

[TT Boy]

Is there any reason why Theo Walcott’s got a book out? He is 22, won nothing, got no rep on the field or off and has played 5 full Premier League games for Arsenal in 5 years and that’s book worthy.

Lets hope there are lots of naked pics of his girlfriend then.

"We will strengthen our squad of course, in the coming weeks"

...isn't there just one week left?

EDIT: Liverpool odds on to sign Coates, which is fantastic, especially for the money offered. Hopefully his temprament is under control.

 

[GIMH]

Maybe he's looking to tap the 'expired contract' market

 

[duffer]

I really hope he pulls through a few good signings. I can't see him go out like this. Really starting to warm to him now the press are at his throat, would love to see him prove them all wrong again.

Honestly thing he must've had his hands tied to a large enough degree these past few years, there was a time he was criticised for not playing young players and he said "their experience comes at a cost in points" or something like that.

Feels a bit like the Simpson's episode when all the druks run from Moe's to church and the god squad run to the bar. That's sort of the vibe I'm getting from Arsenal fans.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Ooh nice the CDMs on terrestrial tonight, could be quite funny.

Chief Whingeur brought this all on himself really. To have a long team plan when you're buying up a team of mercenaries... It doesn't work unless you've some success. And he's not been prepared to overpay to get that - which is what he had to do. So the better mercenaries move on to a better mercenary team. Ones that will pay more and win something.

 

[duffer]

Meh, the whole plan was pre-Abramovich and pre-City. No-one could've predicted that happening. He's done as well as he could in the circumstances, if we go UEFA Cup it's truly end of an era but I can't hate the guy too much, despite the mistakes he's made.

 

[Jarquis]

Can never hold a negative opinion of Wenger purely for the fact that growing up as a kid 2001-2006 was ****ing incredible.

 

[Cevno]

I think the whole Arsenal setup except most fans has now become too comfortable with the business plan of getting into the CL every season without spending big and then selling some players for big profit from time to time.

Been reading up on Barton's history. I think I have pity on him, but I do wonder if he's a prat creating terrible incidents, or if he's a victim of terrible incidents creating a prat.

The former. See Afridi, Shahid.

Was certainly the former, and thats being polite about him. Complete ****-end for a long time.

However he's now certainly matured a fair bit... Still partial to losing his rag, but at least he's not for burning peoples faces anymore.... Certainly likes to speak his mind still.

Bit of a poor mans Roy Keane, though still a very decent player. Kind of player we could do with tbh......

Ewww, no.
