Hearing really good things about the young Lithuanian Spünkit Awåe but I think Chelsea might be in for him.
Yes, once again Wenger has failed miserably in the transfer market. Even if he signs the Brazilian prodigy Sheeton Leggs, as is being widely rumoured, that will not compensate for letting Chelski get to Spunkit first.

Is that the same Rudiger who collapsed in mortal agony in the penalty area after Hernandez tickled his belly?

Not sure I understand what you're getting at. It can't be an insinuation that he was acting, as Germans don't do that. The conclusive proof for that being Michael Caine, the greatest actor in the history of the world, was born in Rotherhithe which isn't in Germany.

Indeed. You should be on the Sky Sports coverage to explain it to your fellow Saxons, Daz.

More importantly, Cork won the Munster Hurling Championship yesterday.

Young Sheeton is apparently desperate to play for Guardiola (or as he's sometimes known: plus image rights) so I could see Wenger making a sneaky move for the emerging Vilnius striker Noend Produkt.

There were some "travellers" a few of whom ended up on the gibbet and also jews. All in all not what they wanted although I was quite pleased at the time as it enhanced my cosmopolitan pretensions. On my dad's side though it was solid northern grit although I think they made their way to Lancashire from Wales originally.

Luckily I don't really care about any of these ethnofictions. For me it is usually better to look at whether somebody is a *%^@ or not than where their grandparents are from.

Great to hear Hodd! :53big-emoticons:

Cheers mate
I should point out that the new contract isn't a big deal, since we only get 12 month contracts anyway.
The significant increase in money was a bonus - helps having a world cup winner on your CV :icon_mrgreen:
getting a scholar and another pro also helped.

The Graham legacy? Even though he managed Sperz, most on here I know and I would say all, because I can't remember anyone saying a bad word about Graham. Maybe they have but I don't recall. I think Graham's place in Arsenal history depends on what generation you are. If you were old enough to be there for the '89 title, etc. then he's firmly a legendary manager. If you weren't, then I'm guessing he's remembered a little less fondly. How much? Not sure, but not as much as those that were there in '89, '91, Cup Winners Cup.

Definitely changed - but most of that is due to the EPPP requirements.
At the end of the day its a business that is predominantly about people and, if you have like minded individuals focused on a common goal, then you are halfway there :-)

Hodd, using American sports as my reasoning and that we live in the electronic age, I have to imagine that identifying good young players that haven't been noticed that much has gotten exponentially more difficult.

I remember I had to hear about how good teenage basketball players and American football players were until they got to univeristy. Now, on youtube they have their own highlight series. Its extended down to middle school and now elementary school.

A standout 7 year old in most sports here are being immediately tracked, statewide, regionally and sometimes nationally.

Basically, there really aren't any more hidden gems. They are unearthed and known. The exceptions are youth that have improved a lot in a short time (which would also correspond with growth spurts).

How intense is scouting these days?

The young lads we have brought in this year have been fantastic. Full of speed and skill. We are getting our act together underage too. Cork might finally be returning as a force again. Our footballers though....Jesus wept.

I enjoyed your victories over Tipp and Waterford but a Cork win was never in doubt yesterday. I'll see your Cork footballers and raise you with the 'Dublin' hurlers.

Not sure bout that but he was some player. Superb header of the ball, sublime passer, a shimmy that your Sister Kate would die for and a hard man when need be.

Baptista. Who will ever forget the man with the touch of an Aberdeen granite kerbstone?

Would have scored five in one match at Anfield if he'd converted a pen. Surely would have been a record.

I typed in hurling and somehow got gaelic football ....... Tipperary v Galway

Losing my way with rugby a bit , little things are starting to p*ss me off ; bouncing the ball half a dozen times when kicking off , all the f**** around in the lineouts , not putting the ball in the centre of the scrum , the advantage rule , the need to touch hands with the whole bench when substituted , feigning injuries to run down the clock , the rolling maul . Old and crusty I know

:laughing7: Oh and let's not forget the need to clean out the eardrums with some Jay Z , Creed or Snoop Dog every time play stops for three seconds .

You have to remember AG, that Stroller was an Arsenal legend before he came back manage us. All those double/ fairs cup winners will always have a very special place in many Gooner hearts. 17 years without a trophy before the Anderlecht final and then the final league game on Monday night at WHL and the 1 - 0 win. Then to top it all a glorious extra time cup final win against Liverpool with what I still think is the best ever goal to win a cup final and a double from Charlie George.


I didn't know he was deemed a legend as a player. I knew he was well known and liked but not legend status. Thank for that information. Even though I became a fan after he left, I respect the name highly.

Him being at Sperz around the time I became a fan didn't sit well intially..haha.

How was that received at the time? Did Arsenal fans turn on him?

So pointless speculating about the likes of Fitov Klée?

You have to remember AG, that Stroller was an Arsenal legend before he came back manage us. All those double/ fairs cup winners will always have a very special place in many Gooner hearts. 17 years without a trophy before the Anderlecht final and then the final league game on Monday night at WHL and the 1 - 0 win. Then to top it all a glorious extra time cup final win against Liverpool with what I still think is the best ever goal to win a cup final and a double from Charlie George.


I didn't know he was deemed a legend as a player.

He would rate about 6 on the Pantheon scale ... somewhere between Wiltord and Ljunberg. Nowhere near the Henry level, but way better than even the most legendary tea-lady.
