Diving Arsenal Players - The Least Shocking Admission Ever

[Bruce Rioja]

IMHO GG I believe if I joined a forum that was 98% female I would be considered a weird creep.

But this one's 98% male. Result = same!

I think we male members should put this to the test by joining female dominated forums. Bruce can research this and allocate us one each.

Oh, splendid idea. However, they're still all going to conclude the same viz Dan

Another forum where GG is left having to defend women's right's it's so sad that as men we are all so ignorant. Of course women can play football on a similar size pitch as men and with similar goals,just not as well.

My opinion of men has gone down a fair bit since I joined this forum...

IMHO GG I believe if I joined a forum that was 98% female I would be considered a weird creep. So I'm not sure which is worse. Remember however as I have pointed out on many occasions to other forum members, in person generally people are much nicer.

My last comment was a bit harsh, it was just your slightly sexist undertones wound me up (and you're not the only one). That and some of the crass comments made about women as sex objects disappoint me at times, but I have made some very good friends on this forum and actually, as far as football forums go its a lot more mature, grown up and sensible then most (even with you on it ) so I take it back.

GG I was being completely honest and proper. The fact is the average male in this country is better at football than the average women. In the same way girls on average do better at English at school and boys do better at Maths. That's not sexist it's fact.

[bwfcdan94]

and in the same way I would be willing to bet that the average women is better at netball.

Where's your source material for these 'facts' Dan?

[bwfcdan94]

ask some teachers, most will agree completely with what I have just said.

[Bruce Rioja]

So the usual amount of corroboration then, Dan?!

[ChrisC]

ask some teachers, most will agree completely with what I have just said.

People agreeing with you is very different to hard facts Dan.

[Gary the Enfield]

No. You stated these as facts. Asking 'some teachers' would be speculation.

A couple of lines from the telegraph "The difference between girls' and boys' achievement is marked in English, with girls doing better than boys by 14.6 percentage points at grades C and above. In total, 71.3% of girls' papers achieved that level, compared to 56.7% of boys' papers."

"In maths,boys performed slightly better than girls however, with 58.8% of their exams being given a C or above, compared to 57.9% of girls' papers, a difference of 0.5 percentage points."

.... & now Vermaelen leaves. What's going on there ??

Club captain and can't get a game for us due to Mertesacker and Kos playing too well. £70,000 a week to sit on the bench. Not surprised Wenger is getting rid but not happy about selling to another of our rivals again. Why does he do that?! And we don't have any other decent back up defenders.

Ah, but it says here that old Arsene, the lad, was looking to add to the midfield in January.

Schalke midfielder Julian Draxler says he turned down a move to Arsenal in January and plans to remain with the Bundesliga club this summer.
The 20-year-old Germany international was linked with a move to the Gunners during the transfer window.
Draxler, who signed a five-year contract with Schalke in May, said: "In January, there was the offer of Arsenal, but I decided to stay.

That was August. He signed Kallstrom instead to give the physios something to do!

[Prufrock]

Sanchez confirmed. Fair play.

Still need a proper striker though!
