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

Rosicky had a v good first half

van Persie should have 4, had 1 great moment in a disappointing performance.

got to do better than that there

fucking hell fivehead

there isnt rly a precedent for arsenal dumping expensive signings quickly iirc, but gervinho rly isnt good enough

the main difference between wenger in the last couple of years and the previous three or four when their problems were p much totally defensive is the number of name attacking players who have tanked

id typed that post before the miss ftr

lol at the quick free

he took that corner btw

never in doubt

typical Arsenal, they will not give up

YES MOTHERFUCKER YES

need RvP sitdoon.gif

To Sam: after last night - Jan Vertonghen on the Dutch MOTD - is pretty clear he will be playing at Arsenal with his buddy Vermaelen next season btw

I think the spirit of Pires having a SHIT first season is why btw. I don't think Gervinho will be much better next season but Wenger won't give up on him (he's too busy trying to get rid of Denilson, Bendtner, Chamakh, Squallici etc.)

FF's given that to RvP as an assist as well. yass

big blow to Newcastle's hopes of pipping Spurs to fifth but 10 points over 10 games is still doable

what happened that's left everyone baying for blood?

I've heard his name a lot this week - did he come out and say it? He has a good reputation but I can't see I've watched much Ajax. He's a centre half who is decent on the ball, right?

Krul v RVP handbags xp

this guy gets it

RVP and Krul had been having words throughout the game and it kicked off again after the goal

i rly like vermaelen, wd guess he is a better cf than bendtner, doyle or defoe

Just as well Newcastle are where they are; the table would look horrendous from an LFC point-of-view if they had a few more or a few less points.

suppose it technically always kicks off after a goal now that i think about it

@Sam, he didn't say it, but he said it alright. HGe couldn't hide it tbh, the pundits were having a laugh with him, because whenever they mentioned Arsenal and his future signing for the club, his mouth went into a twee and dreamy "ffs yes I am signing for Arsenal stop giving me a hard time". He was a guest at Arsenal-Milan, he admitted his manager is working on the deal, he spoke with Wenger etc etc etc.

He's a centre half yes, the best in the Dutch league, by far. Scores 7 to 10 goals in the Dutch league every season, captain of Ajax. Played with Vermaelen for some seasons, his Belgian buddy. Great signing for Arsenal if you ask me. But it's a done deal. I'll eat my shoe if he doesn't sign for Arsenal.

Lulz at RVP and Krul having words. Van Marwijk will have to manage that for the next friendly tbh lol

But it's a done deal. I'll eat my shoe if he doesn't sign for Arsenal.

Never underestimate Wenger being able to fuck up a signing btw.

Also this is great news. We are actually trying (with real success) to do what the fans have been asking for - improve the squad and do it before clubs w/ bigger money ruin it for us.

Martin Keown pronouncing Sagna to rhyme with Wagner on the radio

"A poor ball there from Sagneronthebadio..."

Ha! Was the 1890s' hipsters' band of choice iirc

I hear you, but even Wenger won't be able to fuck this up, trust me. Vertonghen is gawking over Arsenal (and last night he was cornered and admitted for everyone to see what everyone kind of already knew) and he will be Arsenal's best signing of this summer, I am sure. Best signing because he is exactly what Arsenal lacks right now: stability in defense, but with agility and attacking style of play to adapt to the Premiership with relative ease. Wenger will continue to bring in failures like Gervinho, but there's no denying he's been more on the ball with signing defenders.

The leading Dutch pundits jokingly asked Vertonghen last night if he was up for fighting for a place with Koscielny. Vertonghen answered, laughing, that swapping places, sending Koscielny to Ajax and him taking K's place, was the best deal for all involved. Just to illustrate that Arsenal are about to sign him and that Vertonghen is up for it.

keep the spurs trolls coming

look at wenger's smug old face. love that

looking at his profile... neville getting a bit podgy already

well shit man you are getting me excited! between podolski, ryo, jack and ver... gonna have to learn to spell his name - next season may not be a wasteland!

You're talking this guy up a lot LBI - when a hoy hoy does that it tends to go badly

yeah I noticed Nev had put on some weight. Adds authority

Wenger will continue to bring in failures like Gervinho, but there's no denying he's been more on the ball with signing defenders.

hang on... you are joking here right?

merte... the statue

verm... the perenially injured

gibbs... the from the youth team

jenkinson... the beleaguered

Ismael Klata: You are not even taking into account I am talking up an Ajax player, and how hard it is for me to do that, as a PSV fan. But yes, no doubt Vertonghen is off to Arsenal this summer.

santos... the can't actually defend but is OK going forward I suppose

squillaci... the less said the better

Wenger will continue to bring in failures like Gervinho, but there's no denying he's been more on the ball with signing defenders.

hang on... you are joking here right?

I beg you, which defensive Arsenal signing as of late has been worse than the attacking signing of Gervinho?

carl jenkinson is finished.

Jenkinson > Gervinho > Park

otm

*finnish i mean. he has dual nationality.

What a brilliant goal from RVP btw, creating space for himself and scoring like that. Awesome.

good news for spurs: relegation is mathematically impossible

that's the spirit

relegation is mathematically impossible

Pretty sure someone will get relegated, tbh
