Everything is relative, but for a kid who arrived with such a fanfare & fee & was given a place in a World Cup squad because he looked nice on photographs he has been, is & always will be a let down.thebish wrote:Walcott will come good = this is Vaz Te's season!Gooner Girl wrote:No, certainly not Walcott, he will come good.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Re: Diving Arsenal Players - The Least Shocking Admission Ev
he has electrifying moments and then is crap again - or injured. Believe it or not Van Persie was like that a few seasons back - its only really the past few seasons he has shown his full potential, being injury free....bobo the clown wrote:Everything is relative, but for a kid who arrived with such a fanfare & fee & was given a place in a World Cup squad because he looked nice on photographs he has been, is & always will be a let down.thebish wrote:Walcott will come good = this is Vaz Te's season!Gooner Girl wrote:No, certainly not Walcott, he will come good.
Anyway, i am getting nervous for tomorrow now. BIG, BIG game, have been lucky enough to get a ticket which will be fantastic if we win and awful if we lose. I need to get some more chicken feed from the spurs supporting pet shop boy but could be a bit risky leaving it til next week. If we lose i think i might go elsewhere for it rather then risk the stick he and his dad will give me...

BBC Radio 5 live pundit David Pleat after Arsenal's fifth goal at the Emirates: "It has been quite an amazing turnaround. Strangely Walcott has scored the two goals after he was the butt of the Arsenal crowd's criticism in the first half. They were baying for him to be brought off the pitch."

Thought I was in for a very bad afternoon when trapped in a tube train carriage on way there with a whole load of spuds fans singing songs about Madeleine mcCann and a train driver who refused to say 'Arsenal' station and kept referring to it as 'Gillespie road' turns out he was a spurs fan, shouting 'come on Tottenham' over the train intercom when we got off... Then for them to score 2 I really thought I was in for the worst afternoon ever (am sure their 2nd was never a pen - Lino didn't think so either - will need to see replay) but suddenly we got our arse in gear and scored 5! Went mental hugging my mate and being smothered by all the random blokes around me!
Sang plenty of entertaining songs about Adebayor and Harry Redknapp, atmosphere is totally different on derby day to normal. I love it. Travelling home with a HUGE grin on my face.

Re: Diving Arsenal Players - The Least Shocking Admission Ev
Sorry been in the pub all day, have Arsenal won a game?
Re: Diving Arsenal Players - The Least Shocking Admission Ev
Sure all the Redknapp, and particularly Adebayor songs were all very tasteful though...
In a world that has decided
That it's going to lose its mind
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind.

I didn't hear any distasteful songs about Adebayor and the only real references to Harry were chanting 'Harry for England' and that was only letting him know we were keen for him to manage our national sidePrufrock wrote:Sure all the Redknapp, and particularly Adebayor songs were all very tasteful though...

Aren't they still above you in the league? Doesn't this make you a tad hypocritical?
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.
