Blimey! It had 0-0 written all over it when I switched over for case histories!

So because Warner has now resigned all investigations into him have stopped and he is presumed innocent! If he is so innocent why did he feel the need to resign?

German fixtures out today!! Do I go at my usual time and watch Hannover 69ers play Bremen, or should I wait a couple of weeks and watch 'em play those cheating Bavarians, Munich? Elsewhere I doubt that Warner is much more corrupt than all the others who have featured recently. If Europe don't hurry up and pull out of FIFA then one must come to the conclusion that we are corrupt too.

So which type are you then?

I'm a 3....

 

BTW nice article on there by Oliver Holt about Jack Marshall

 

http://www.mirrorfootball.co.u...s-article751122.html

I'm a strange mix of 1 and 3.

Much as I hate the tabloids there are some interesting articles on the Mirror footy site I think Croc

a 3....and a 7 at times....

RZB (((hugs))) ltns. Hope you and yours are well mate.

 

I've just found out that Arsenal are closing their official online forum soon. Kronkes been in charge for 5 minutes and it's already going downhill - much like we knew it would.

I was wondering about trying to drop some hints about this place but then I'd be worried that it could get quite spiky.

I wish we had a lot more people here but I like the mellow vibe - especially in here

 

It is. Shame the press didn't report much on the time he visited Carrington before and asked Wayne Rooney to join Twitter.

 

His mom/dad has replied to me a few times, lovely people.

Are we taking an interest in the women's world cup then?

I think it starts this w/e. The German hosts are very excited since they have sold at least 670k of the 900k tickets available and half the games will have 20k+ gates.

Santos won the Copa Libertadores the other day against Penarol. Big brawl at the end as expected in South America.

 

Mexico vs USA in the Gold Cup tomorrow. I'm hoping for a Mexico win!!

I am Joe, there's an excellent article about Kelly Smith in todays Indy. I miss seeing her in an Arsenal shirt so much. Interesting that she cites her injuries as an accelarant to her drinking. I was reading somewhere that there is real concern about the mental state of players who are injured, how they are isolated from the team because they can't train together etc. I think that AW is looking into how we can keep our injured players integrated with the squad while they are out of action.

Rachel Unitt is from near where I live. She's been spotted a few times down here.

Afternoon Darlo, the Ladies are far more approachable than the men players, you can quite often see the Arsenal Ladies around Borehamwood before and after games.

 

Has anyone seen these, some of them are hilarious. Look how fat the Rooney one is

 

http://www.match-stars.co.uk/aboutus.php

Hey Veggie, the women do seem much more grounded than the men but then again they ain't surrounded by money etc and the ladies game isn't as big obviously.

 

Thought Arsenal were in talks over Gervinho? Not sure what is happening over Clichy neither but that defence needs sorting.  The likes of Denilson etc could still be there next season and even though there's no movement so far from Arsenal in the window how long will AW leave it?

Hi, all:

 

I know darlo is a Man United fan. I just heard on the radio yesterday that they are coming to play our Seattle Sounders!!

I'm pretty sure they will whip the pants off of us, but it should draw a lot of fans to the game.

 

*disclaimer* I don't really follow football all that much, so don't start any technical discussions with me.

You are technically correct Lori! One of the United players will whip the pants off you if he gets the chance!!

Naughty Joe, who can this be that you are referring to?

 

Lori - you must go and see them. The little fat one who looks like Shrek is Wayne Rooney, the hairy one who sleeps with all the laydeez and gets his legal team to persecute Twitter users is Ryan Giggs and the ladyboy is Nani. You will know him by his miracle tactic of falling over rolling in agony whenever a player gets within 10 yards of him.

I'm sure Meaty or riverrock can provide you will suitable chants

I bet it will...

Thought this described 95% of football players?

 

Thanks for the warning, Joe. I will maintain a discreet distance.

I thought that they were shipping out Nani to Surreal Madrid. 

They like their cheats out there.

I very much doubt anyone here cares about Hearts (I certainly don't), but I found this while looking up some player... It's honestly the weirdest club statement I've ever read in my entire life.

 

http://www.heartsfc.co.uk/arti...ment_2241384_2381659

 

Just a couple of chunks I've picked out....

 

"What's happening with the club today is not a new thing. For almost 7 years we have been fighting to shield the club from crooks, criminals and thieves."

 

and 

 

"Mafia are dragging kids into the crime, in order to blackmail and profit on them. It is not possible to separate these people from pedophiles, and you don't need to do that. Each year we are forced to fight against these maniacs harder and harder."

Well maybe 80%  There are a few who are so good at it that it becomes an art form.

Drogba from Chelsea is the one who gets my vote. He's built like a brick sh**house and yet the flapping of a butterfly in Peru manages to not only knock him off his feet but cause him to roll around screaming for at least 5 minutes.

There used to be a joke about someone hoovering when the footie was on the tele and knocking the coffee table with the hoover thereby causing him to fall over!!

Crunchy, wtf is that all about? Very weird.

I've absolutely no idea. The bold paragraph at the top made me think it was about agents, then when I read on I was like WTF!!! and now I've no bloody idea what the hell it is about.

I thought the second bit might be about agents or big clubs nicking their talented babies but it's so off the wall that it's difficult to know what they mean

Lmao their owner is Russian must be some Mafia influence somewhere? That is just a presumption or wild guess but all I can think of...

 

Yeah the US trip is happening Lori. Chicharito will get some cheers!!

 

 

Nope Nani is not going anywhere. He had already said that he was happy at United and but the press decided he was going to be sold regardless.

 

Udinese playing their bidding auction again.. Man City will be mad if they pay the £45 million the chairman is trying to demand for Alexis Sanchez. Barcelona want Fabregas and Giussepi Rossi too but can't afford all three...

Crunchy, you might be interested in this on the gooner forum. It's more info on that bizarre statement

http://www.onlinegooner.com/ph...iewtopic.php?t=30724

Thanks Veggie! Well that's shed a bit of light on it. Some of the sigs in that thread are top, especially that of the mackem!

Brentford have signed Marcel Eger from FC St Pauli.

 

 

For the Brentford and St Pauli fans of this forum

That's me and GJ then Crunchy  Ta muchly.

 

Yeah the gooner forum can be quite funny, I lurk but don't post there. They are way too scary for me lol. I just don't like the ott hatred they have for their own club/players/manager/board etc etc.

But they are funny bunch

The thing I like about football forums like that one is the line is usually so far away. By that I mean you can say what the hell you want, however offensive it may be and nothing happens, where as in this forum for example there is just a line that you know you don't cross, cos if you do, you know some forum members will probably end up topping themselves.

I know what you mean but I do like the mellow vibe here. The Gooner forum is hysterically funny when they're having a go at other teams and players. It's very much a lads forum I think. They often post threads with pics of nekkid laydeez in them, especially in the off season.

Just look for the (nsfw) tag in the title

I read Redcafe (ain't paying to use my Hotmail account to register), mainly just tweet apart from here plus TIBB.

Blackburn want £10 million for Chris Samba, bargain for Arsenal.  Wonder if you lot will sign Gary Cahill too Veggie?

 

 

i read redcafe as well. Force of habit really. Even though I hardly follow Man U these days, certainly don't go to the matches like I did when I was a kid, but still regularly read redcafe.

Spain won. Impressed with David De Gea, imagine his move to United will be made official soon before he goes on his pre season holiday.

Leeds United, to replace Schmeichel? Torquay United? Newcastle United? West Ham United? Carlisle United??

There's this on the BBC site now about the crazy Hearts statement...
