Kenny Dalglish Won't Be Delivering the Module: English Premiership 2011-12

Well I know they don't have much choice, I was just moaning about how it ended up this weekend. Piers Morgan? Thats a big strike against them, tbh.

fwiw i'd go round to rupert murdoch's house twice a year to suck him off for the range of football coverage i get, so the extra few quid a month instead doesn't bother me

Forlan has gone to Inter

Warren Barton and the other two recreate plays on their little mini-pitch in the studio at half-time. It is sad/lolzy. xpost

Yossi/Meireles swap, says Twitter.

plus cash, right?

Huh?! Everything's wrong with that picture, except that I like Yossi.

you get the excitement of having Piers Morgan come on their Sunday post-game/weekend-roundup.

I didn't stick around for the GOS show after ManU vs Arsenal but I kind of wish I could have; they were saying that he's a Gunners fan.

no mention of cash dmac.

Morgan's twitter primarily consists of invective directed at Michael Owen/Wayne Rooney/Ferdinand and hysterical claims for Wenger to be sacked.

I 8 - 2 to say it but...

- Cesc just won his second trophy at Barcelona in a matter of days

- Nasri got three assists for Man City

At least Raul will get a well-deserved pay rise. I'm going to have to face facts and actually like Chelsea now the remodelling is largely through

Yossi/Raul thing aint concrete, but the guy it's come from usually knows what's going on. Could simply be AVB giving KD a quick call to sound him out, or vice versa. Or they're swapping football stickers.

cant see a straight swap deal tbh.

How is Yossi even still playing in England? Is he really still that good or is he just part of your league now and people think he's a nice guy?

Well maybe Comolli and Henry will give the nice Mr Abromovitch some money as well. xpost to Darra

It shouldn't be, but the club clearly don't rate him like we do. That said, it's hard to see Yossi as first choice.

Frimpong stripped Piers Morgan of his Arsenal supporter status on Twitter, earned his salary by that act alone imo.

Giving Chelsea a better player than the one we get back? Dud. Having said that if they take Joe Cole's wages off our hands as well I might be persuaded. Oh wait...no I won't. Raul and Suarez will be good together I think.

It's not going to happen though; I think

   Suarez
      Gerrard
 Downing  Adam
Henderson  Lucas

if yossi goes for meireles i'll cut off my hand and post a pic of the bloody stump on this thread. not a hope...

Letting Mereiles go would be outright insane. Great player.

yeah got this bookmarked.

Didn't realise Meireles was so highly rated. Assume he's a back-up option in case Modric falls through. Moutinho and Pereira also being discussed and Arsenal in for Benayoun apparently.

Don't know if you guys wanna move the transfer speculation to the "My client became a Youtube sensation" thread for these last couple of days of the *Transfer Window*, but "my sources tell me" (lol) that Chelsea bid £8m + Yossi for Meireles tonight. LFC rejected the bid, Chelsea are planning to improve it. LFC don't particularly want Yossi, but Yossi would like to return.

we don't need yossi back and if we take 10m or 12m for meireles someone has lost their mind.

Can't wait for Wednesday night.

Otm. Yossi's not bad but Meireles fits better. Not sure about the price.

idk raul meireles seems to be white but his attempts at carrying off the combat 18 aesthetic are a bit fey

Agreed. On the other hand, I do want to see him get a game (Yossi too) and for whatever reason it looks like that won't be here.

xps

Can't wait for Wednesday night.

shit yeah. was planning on going to see planet of the apes but might try to convince my mate to just watch ssn with some beers.

Sir Alex Ferguson's impact at Old Trafford has intensified the allure the club has held for generations. The craving of businesses to be associated with United verged on self-parody when DHL chose to sponsor the training kit for £10m a year.

wtf?

yeah happened last week. I won't claim to understand the logic behind it

http://news.arseblog.com/2011/08/lequipe-arsenal-sign-mertesacker

French media claiming Mertesacker deal has been agreed subject to a medical. Shit this is like being a Liverpool fan for the past year or two condensed down to the past two weeks.

If you need to sign players that are expected to safe an already lost season in the last two days of the transfer window, U R DOING IT RONG. What a shame.

save, even

wasn't Fabregas already part of our starting xi 4 years ago and Nasri part of Marseilles?

anyway, of course we aren't doing it wrong. Last week of the window is infinitely more fun than getting your business done correctly and pre-season. Football is about entertainment, not having a cohesive squad that wins things.

That's the spirit!

Bendtner has scored 45 goals in 79 starts for the club

whaaaaaaaaaaat?

Meanwhile Liverpool turn down £8m plus Yossi, which is good news except that he's clearly going to go for a slightly improved bid. On the upside, it confirms that Chris has got some kind of insider contact worth listening to.

including youth competitions, reserve games and school fetes. xp

79 starts plus about 80 sub appearances, but still who'd've thought it?

Known for his extreme self-confidence, Bendtner once received a confidence rating that exceeded the scale in a test carried by an Arsenal psychologist

As an Arsenal aficionado I don't care enough to not have massive lulz about it. But it's a toss up between kinda sad mostly lol/kinda lol mostly sad tbh

I wonder if that's like when Chelsea announced Frank Lampard was the most intelligent person in the world since records began or some shit

I enjoy how AVB responds to any remark he mildly disagrees with by contorting his lips into a gigantic pink crescent

December
Nicklas made just one start in December but did get on the scoresheet in the 2-2 draw with Wigan. The Dane went through an exciting time with his partner expecting a child and, despite his immediate concerns on spending time with his family, he set his sights on fighting for his place after Christmas and in the New Year.

Sky Sports seem... to not know the difference between Italian football teams?

was just remembering Colin Murray's strange comment

'tonight Arsenal fans' phones are all down the toilet, they're all off, they're hidden ...
the amount of stick they're going to be taking for the next 3 days'

and thinking what a strange world he lives in.

was going to elaborate why but maybe not necessary.
