atila the gooner Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I appreciate what the man did for the club and count myself as privileged to have witnessed to some great football over the past 9 or 10 seasons (especially considering how shit we were in the 80's). However, I think TH14's decison to leave was probably not just a footballing decision. It probably had more to do with his personal life. Having said that, his departure has led to the guys in his shadow (Van Persie, Adebayor, Walcott, etc.) playing in a way which suggests they have had a weight taken from their shoulders. I wish Thierry all the best for the future, and thank him for the best footballing talent I've witnessed in my 50 years on this planet. I can't say the same for that treacherous dog Cashley Hole. I've no sympathy or love for the man after the way he conducted his departure from the club. I hope he chokes on his ?60k a week. (Is it me , or are footballers wages obscenely high?)

atila the gooner Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Sense and sanity has returned to Ashbuton Grove, and we are back to Red & White. Although our third kit is a mixture of purple and dark blue, but it's not bad.

Jah Lush Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 I think you speak for all Arsenal fans there, both on Cashley C??l and Thierry Henry. You'll get the same sentiments, and you're probably right about TH14's private life in his decision to go to Barca, but it has definitely had an enormously positive effect on the younger players that have been coming through in the last couple of years. I've got nothing but respect for Arsene Wenger in the way he nurtures young talent. Just look at Fabregas. 20 years old and he's some player already.Bloody hell! What am I doing waxing lyrical about the Gooners? And me a life long Spurs fan too. By the way I'm not far behind you at 49.

atila the gooner Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Club versus Country? Should Michael Owen start for England at the risk ( is there one?) of him breaking down again, and being unavailable to the club that pays his wages?

atila the gooner Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 The Iceman Bergkamp was a genius, but overall ( as Arsey loves saying!!!!) TH14 shades it. Together they were awesome!!

Jah Lush Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 Call me an old git but Jimmy Greaves was God! The greatest goalscorer this country has ever seen. 44 goals in 57 caps. That's some strike rate. As to your question as to whether to play Owen or not. Yup! Stick him in there.

mockney piers Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Greaves was a great no doubt, just before my time is all (apart from Saint & Greavsie).While I'm on the subject I still have a place in my heart for bonkers ref-pushing, dubious saluting, sporting, amazing goal scoring Paolo di Canio. All time great, perhaps not, but he is to me!! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1210-football-focus/page/24/#findComment-46190 Share on other sites More sharing options...
atila the gooner Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Di Canio's push on the ref, the way he went down in installments, and Nigel Winterburn crapping himself when he thought the mad Italian was about to turn on him are etched in my memory forever.

Keef Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Will go along with Bergkamp. Also Ian Rush and a young Robbie Fowler! As for Owen, he has to start against Russia, think I'd start him on the bench on Saturday...

atila the gooner Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Do you not think that Sam "I'm not talking to those horrid people at the BBC" Allardyce might chuck his toys out of his pram if Owen picks up a knock?

atila the gooner Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 To quote Greavsie "It's a funny old game". Jimmy has certainly put a few noses out of joint by saying he would rather watch the egg chasers than a game of footy. Still, he's entitled to his opinion, bless him. What ever happened to his side kick, Saint? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1210-football-focus/page/24/#findComment-46199 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keef Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 So what if he does. The sooner Owen falls out with him and leaves, the better ;-) Seriously though, I think the press are blowing this up a bit. The player says that his medical advise suggests no risk, so good on him.

Good to know that one of the stalwarts from the 60t's is still around.
