Did a 9 year old tell you he said that or was it a quote by anyone in particular?

Özil wanting the number 10 shirt.

Yeah - I'm gonna call BS on that one.

We've seen what the team can do in the FA Cup especially last season with wins against man city and chelsea. Somehow the cup form doesn't translate to consistency in the league competition.

Could be fake news?

The mindset in cups is different. I think both sides underestimated us last season in the semis and finals a wee bit. We can focus on the day but not for any level of substantial consistency for the marathon that the season is.

If that was the case wouldn't he want the Number 9 shirt .

Florida school offering bullet proof panels for kids backpacks for $120 ...what a good idea .

What happens if the shooter is in front of you ?

But Kiwi, didn't you hear the commander in chief, the latest massacre wasn't a 'gun thing'!

I find it amazing that everyone seems to have completely forgotten about Man City and their money. Everyone is either so in love with pep, his style of football and the players (of which they don’t seem to have too many easily hated players), or everyone is just resigned to the quite blatant bending of the rules that there is no point arguing.

City have released a latest set of figures which shows their revenue up to something like £450m and show wages now increased to the highest in the league at around £250m. City boast of a very good wages to turnover ratio.

Is everyone forgetting the millions and millions of etihad sponsorship way above any kind of market rate?

None of this excuses anything arsenal do because I saw our revenues were some £100m per season more than Liverpool and nearly £200m per season more than spurs. Our wages are similar to Liverpool but twice spurs. Even allowing for greater overheads, which can be massively outweighed by under investment in players, it is just as amazing that no one is really questioning (and getting answers) for where all Arsenal’s money goes as it is no one questioning City’s dodgy sponsorship.

Sadly football died a long time ago, it’s all a huge business played by a few very rich men.

Arsenal slap £30m price tag on Manchester United target Mesut Özil

http://metro.co.uk/2017/11/08/arsenal-slap-30m-price-tag-on-manchester-united-target-mesut-ozil-7065239/

I know Brom ... there is a d******* at the Museum where I volunteer , full blown pig/deer hunter ..... tetosterone oozing from his every pore who maintains it's not the guns that are the problem it's the people that own them

... and of course I say yes but if the f**&&^^ guns weren't so widely available to every Tom Dick and Emilio no one would get shot ..... would they .

Think I've said it before ... they even have little miniature rifles .22 calibre for kids .

As for the idiot commander in chief ...what else could he say when the National gun lobby chucked a few million into his campaign .

Good news if true, rather than losing Özil on a free. More importantly Wenger should look to bring in another couple of players the level of Lacazette and Kolasinac in Jan window.

If we can get £30m for Özil and Sanchez in jan we will have escaped from a terrible situation with at least some positive.

Like you say though, that must be reinvested AND more. We should be in for a couple of players in Jan even if those two stay.

If we’re sticking with wing backs we need more competition there, and central midfield really needs addressing - some dynamism, energy, and discipline is badly needed in there

It's going to league rivals that pisses me off. In the 'old days' (even though to me it seems recent), we were risking losing players to Real Madrid or Barcelona. Ashley Cole was an aberration and it happened after the Galacticos were gone for the most part.

Kiwi, you are a volunteer at the Museum? What do you do?

I hope you are not their go-to-guy for fixing things

I can sort of see the argument that problem is the idiots who own them ... (but then again, the same applies to nuclear weapons ... )

But what does you friend propose? Gun control is a far less effective solution than somehow wiping out all these dickheads, inbred morons, rednecks, Nazis, and Rambo wannabes.

However, it is more humane.

Maybe he is an exhibit?

and I can see only to well where you are going with this you sleazy little mollusc ... and I am one of the go - ton - guys for fixing things
If you had half a millimeter of mechanical sense in your body you'd be orgasming all over the joint on viewing this engine stand I've made for home .

very good .... no comeback for that one

He reckons everyone should have guns to defend themselves .

so far this year in America forty people have been shot by kids under 4 .

Many of them evidently believe that they will be able to see off a Russian or Chinese invasion with their hunting rifles and handguns .... or if necessary the Federal government.

As unlikely as it may seem. VP Pence is scarier than Trump. Trump is a blowhard. Pence is both a religious zealot and a true believer in the conservatism. The Nitro and Glycerin of American politics. We may be worse off with impeachment. Not that I'm against the notion of impeachment if it comes to that.

Well if Özil does go to MU, he'll be fighting over getting that #10 shirt once Zlatan Ibra returns.

What do we make of the story that Steve Rowley is rumoured to be leaving is role as Chief Scout for us?

When Gazidis talked of a summer with a catalyst for change maybe he meant it but just not in the baordroom or with the manager or his primary coaching team. There do seem to have been some back room shake ups - sadly I think it is just a small percentage towards what we really need - a change of owner and manager

Shouldn't work like that ..... no ear muffs when using a jack hammer .

Hey Hodd, if you are out there, any thoughts on this rumor?

I have no idea who wrote this - on the forum in about 2006 - but I found it while I was scrolling through some old files on my computer:

Spurs! They need somebody,
Spurs! Not just anybody,
Spurs! You know they need someone, Spurs
When they were useless, every year since '61,
They realised deep down their trophy days were done,
And now that Bill Nick's gone, they're not so self-assured,
Now they find they're in a Double-bind and their diarrhoea can't be cured
Help them if you can, they're going down,
And Andy Reid's increasingly round,
Help them be Inter-Toto bound,
Won't you please, please help Spurs?

Excellent.

According to the Daily Mail AW is planning a swap for Sanchez with PSG giving us Draxler.

Personally I'd be happy with that rather than nothing.

The day has come ..... not a single Arsenal player in the England squad, not even on the bench

It depends on Draxler more than on AW. I hope he comes over.

Applies to Arsenal now

Don't care about the England team but they will be stronger with Wilshere, Welbeck and even Walcott in the squad. All three might still feature for England in the World Cup.

I'd rather Arsenal players not playing. I don't want any injuries.

The missing link?

Must be putting hallucinagenics in the Singaporean water supply to think that Goonie

... Walcott is f**** useless for us , Welbeck instead of Kane , Vardy or Rashford not likely , Jack cant make our squad and hardly set the world alight at Bournemouth .

going on some of your posts it's a fair bet the Neaderthal man had more brain cells than you .

All people with northern European ancestry have some neanderthal dna. Thinking of Arsenal players I'd say Keown and Storey probably more than most

Eddie Nketiah scoring freely for the England U19s. Hattrick the other day and a winner tonight.

https://www.arsenal.com/news/nketiah-sc ... land-u-19s

He’s a young player with promise. But to get a bit of perspective the goals were against the Faroe Islands Under 19s.
