garth crooks is just a black MontyMugpie

maybe wenger should need to focus on just one cup for next season.. aiming at two.. three.. four cups.. isn't a wise thing to do at all..

but you guys still have a chance for the epl cup since we played draw just now..

Shame on you Joh, He's a Spurs legend.

It's funny the way he interviews people though.

He ain't no legend!!

Spurs legends are your Blanchflowers, Greaves, Hoddles, Mackays...that bounty bar doesn't come anywhere near those!

No mention of Paul Stewart there.

When I was younger I was convinced that Greaves had played for Liverpool.

Are Gazza and Lineker not Spurs legends?

What about Nayim?

Ahh yes Nayim of course!

Him and Ronaldinho are porn stars you know...they can lob Seaman from 40 yards

lol, very good.

What happen with Bendtner ? i remenber that he made a big mistake Wednesday against Liverpool but yesterday after he had scored there was only one player who congratuled him. In France they said that he fighted with Adebayor, and was not in good relationship with his team.

He did. And oh how the Spurs laughed

(It was against Spurs in the CC Semi's)

Who has won ?

Adebayor is bigger now when he played for Monaco he was thin.

Right on!

you should read what "papasmurph" wrote earlier for info on Bendtner.

yeah.. internal problem obviously.. he's not the only one though..

Bar Diaby, that was the perfect post

and the way you typed 'Bendtnar'

Apologies Lee McDictionary

i had to deflate your head... it was clogging up the forum.

As long as it doesn't start wobbling a la You, the place shall be safe

to steal a quote from you..

bar my quivering parkinsons disease like showing my performance was perfect

more excuses from Mr Wenger...

"The young players have done remarkably well and carried the team. Now we need to prepare physically and mentally for Tuesday.


"This team have given everything against a very good Liverpool defence."


Wenger also believes that Arsenal would have stood an excellent chance of winning the Premier League had they managed to keep everybody fit.


He explained: "I could have spent in the January transfer window but I did not know then that Eduardo, Robin van Persie and Tomas Rosicky would all be out at the same time.


"The turning point was losing Eduardo when we were already without Van Persie and Rosicky.


"If we'd had everybody available we would still have been top of the table."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

hasnt it occured to him that after the injury excuses last season a bigger squad would have been crucial? surely its not so unexpected for the prone Van Persie to be injured along with two other players...?

They're not excuses Steely, they're facts. Arsenal are the only team to get injuries and have an average squad age of 13.

We've been without Agger since September but we bought Skrtel because we were short. You can understand with their attack, as two of four striker's injured would be unexpected and crippling, but if they were so vulnerable on the wing (which they are) they should have done the same as us.

What is he on about by "young players" anyway? The marvel that is Francesc Fabregas? Then who? Clichy? Okay. Aside from them none of their main players are especially young or inexperienced... It's annoying how Arsenal always get portrayed as being unusually young or inexperienced.

The Danish forward was quick to admonish Martin Taylor for any intent as he played alongside the Blues' defender on loan at St Andrews' last term, but insisted it was a red card.

"We were thinking about everything in the dressing room afterward. There were a lot of disappointments. We had a draw when we have to win and of course what happened to Edu is worse. It's just not the best of days."

Defending Taylor, the Arsenal striker claimed that he did not think that the centre-back would have made the high tackle deliberately.

"He's not a player like that," Bendtner continued. "He's really calm. He's not one who goes in to hurt people, never. But in football things like this happen.

"But, even though he is not one who does bad tackles, it was a bad tackle and he deserved to be sent off," he concluded. "The referee had no choice."


I've gotta say, Bendtner might have been a bit hurt by Eduardo's injury. But, I bet deep inside, he was happy as a little kid on Christmas morning knowing he's going to get more playing time.

I see nothing wrong at all there with what he said. And every footballer would be pleased with more playing time, whatever the circumstances.
