Think they might batter us on sunday tbh

can we standardise either jenks or jenko pls, obv jenky is abominable

Jenk.

with a Spanish 'j' obv

jenk is the kind of sobriquet you append to a lumbering beast CB or CM, not a gangly RB with deceptive pace

The Ox & Jenko on tour in Asia!

We've seen the Per and Poldi comedy double act on tour and now we have new pretenders to the throne - The Ox and Carl Jenkinson!

The young England internationals have been inseparable friends ever since their arrival at the Club in the summer of 2011.

But after two weeks of living in each other's pockets are the cracks beginning to show? Not a chance.

Check out our video of the pair bantering about their time together in Asia by pressing the 'Play' button above.

guys

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenkem

so obv

hope stet isn't going to be getting any writs for that c&p

do u think arsenal's legal department will consider four lines as fair usage

is there a Europa League thread btw? meant to flag up that consolation goal against Swansea last Thursday, as good a bicycle kick as you'll see

duke jenkem and it's a deal

paok v schalke game was bonkers, played in a near empty stadium. it was 1-1 60 mins in and jones gets sent off for schalke and then schalke go 2-1 up 3 mins after the sending off. cue a flurry of awful defending, a couple of goals from set pieces and sitters missed. schalke manager brings on youngster meyer who sets up a goal and then takes him off 3 mins later. entertaining game but both sides were really poor and it ended up 3-2 to schalke who have really dropped off although drexler is a really classy player.

just like to reiterate that content was taken from www.arsenal.com the official site of the arsenal football club plc

Michael Laudrup hasn't done his homework Europa League 2013/14

that sounds pretty good michael

i was going to watch it but couldn't really be bothered watching fitba so i watched arsenal instead

max meyer is extremely highly rated in germany, flattering comparisons to gotze and ozil and from the u17 world cup highlights its not too hyperbolic

draxler is just excellent

first half was truly wretched i might add. i was surprised to see that felipe santana ended up in schalke although watching him tonight i can see why.

Uefa has threatened Shakhter Karagandy with disciplinary proceedings if they continue to perform the ritual slaughter of animals around games.

The Kazakh champions caused a stir when they slaughtered a sheep at the Astana Arena the day before last Tuesday night's 2-0 Champions League play-off first-leg win over Celtic, leading animal rights group Peta to express its outrage in a strongly worded letter to Uefa president Michel Platini, urging the organisation to punish Shakhter.

There were concerns that Shakhter would repeat the ritual at Parkhead in the return leg this evening and, although it is now clear that will not happen, European football's governing body has made it clear that disciplinary proceedings will be launched if the practice is repeated.

In a letter to Shakhter's executive director, Yerden Khalilin, Uefa competitions director Giorgio Marchetti said: "We were informed that an animal slaughter took place at some point prior to the Uefa Champions League fixture involving FC Shakhter Karagandy and Celtic FC at the Astana Arena on Tuesday 20 August 2013.

"Although certain practices may be culturally rooted, they have no place in or around a sporting arena or event.

"In this context, I would like to make you aware that animal slaughter on a football pitch or in a stadium before, during or after a Uefa competition match – or with reference to a Uefa competition – is totally improper, and will not be tolerated.

"In case of re-occurrence, it will inevitably lead to a full investigation by our disciplinary bodies."

So hopefully when Celtic lose the tie we can still sneak through like we did against Sion

this time u are the sheep

if shakhter draw man u i reckon edward woodward should avoid the away leg.

Man U not in the Europa League iirc
</hopeless optimism>

See we're giving them a man of a start by playing Forrest...

Not one of our summer signings deemed worthy of a starting place, well done to our famous worldwide scouting network.

But now is not the time for pessimism. 4-0 us.

Beginning to wish I'd gone to the pub, but the pub doesn't have a couch to hide behind.

Both our right backs on the park, Lenny'll need a new first substitution.

sg are only mild favourites at most bookies

why is james forrest shit? is tony watt not shit? how is scott brown doing these days?

James Forrest is ineffectual when deprived of space to run into.

Scott Brown has been pretty good since coming back from injury last season.

Jury out on Tony Watt - not getting enough time on the pitch or in his position.

hmmn i hope he does alright so he doesn't become another federico macheda

Boateng 1_0. Oh well, psv needed to score anyway.

Balotelli's link up play has been exceptional so far tonight.
Maher looks good tho.

Timely goal from Commons, I think if we'd gone in 0-0 we'd have really struggled to get going again.

<3 Samaras

And Samaras keeps the momentum going this side of half time. I am still not good at this optimism malarkey.

Anyway fuck Real but well done to them. And a Bale is a fud.

fudiud

well that was reasonably heartbreaking

three goal margin can't say they didnt deserve it

i can

Never seen an player as scared of an opposition manager as varane was of simeone.

Bale not a patch on Macca's RM European Final performance.

varane is such a good player

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> pepe

I dunno NV, you took enough vicarious pleasure in Gerrard's slip, you should've been like a pig in clover this past week.

Too soon

my vicarious pleasures are based on a complex algebra involving underdog status, cuntishness of club history, and whether you are Steven Gerrard amongst other factors

lol at redknapp saying there is 'a strong british contingency' at madrid

Ismael *isn't* Steven Gerrard (as far as I know) (xp)

yes but i felt bad for Ismael

aw man, I had no idea

God, imagine lifting the European Cup while wearing a t-shirt reading Live Forever. Even John Terry would have too much dignity for that.

ismael gets all the disappointment of being an arsenal and liverpool fan it's a tough cross to get on the end of

the rte lads are shocked, shocked! that cron celebrated by taking his top off

wasn't marcelo booked for his celebration abt 90 secs before?

i've come to hate football just in time for the world cup to make me fall back in love. it's almost art

That fucking tool Chris Bascombe in The Telegraph gave Bale a higher rating than Di Maria for last nights game.

That clueless cunt Andy Dunn reckons Madrid are the best cl winners for a decade! How quickly barca are forgotten.

Football journalism is the worst

Someone needs to take this gif and set it to a soundtrack of triumphalist stadium EDM.

...

In the pub last night I was too busy making a facetious point about this basically being like Spurs winning the European Cup, so I didn't notice whether or not Bale did the annoying heart celebration when he scored.

Like everyone I was shouting for Atleti but in the end I was hoping Real would take it since they played so well. I thought the referee was excellent. He didn't make a bad decision throughout the game

jeez idk if they were any good tbh

they were 90 seconds give or take from losing the match and they had not outplayed Atleti up to that point, they'd been faced with a team protecting a lead and failed to unlock them. then they scored a couple very late against a team that had run themselves into the ground. the rest is triumphalist bollocks
