What's strange is that you guage someone's loyalty on whether they comment on the EDF after a match or not.

If you look at my posting history you will see that I didn't post after we beat Citeh in the cup, yet I did when we lost in the league. It just depends whether I have the time to do so or not. Some if us have a life outside of the EDF, I suggest you get one too :)

Indeed? Is that to show which clubs will be playing european football shown on Channel 5?


Truth hurts, and as for medication if you believe you shower will win anything this season you are sadly deluded. By the way did you go to the game or did you sit in your comfy chair with your replica shirt on. I be looking to see what you come up with when you next lose a game or will you do a ferdinand and go missing.

Enjoy the CL while it lasts, you won't be playing in it next season :)

I seem to remember under one of your many previous reincarnations you couldn't afford to watch football...I'm glad to see someone is financially better off in the recession :)

As for looking to see, see previous post...

To be honest I never expected us to win the game - a draw would have been nice though!


I was disgusted with some of the fans around me at the match booing Wenger and saying "you don't know what you are doing" when he replaced Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. They can't have the same knowledge as the manager who has said today that AOC was ill during the week and had a muscle strain so had to be replaced.


These are exactly the matches when the supporters should get behind their team!

Well said LG, nice to know there are Gooners who know what support actually means...you should post on here more often :)

Fergie once got the bird from Utd fans after his first 3 seasons when we seemed to be going backwards not forwards.

But after what he has since achieved I too would be disgusted if that happened now. Wenger deserves far more respect than he got yesterday.

Balotelli stamp WAS deliberate and he should have gone as should Lescott.


BUT Oxlade-Chamberlain was a real revelation.


In the "getting-ridiculously-way-ahead-of-ourselves" dept. just three things...


1. I can't wait to see Oxlade-Chamberlain playing alongside Rooney in an England shirt (well, I did say...)


2. How do Southampton keep producing such talent?


3. Have gooners decided on a moniker yet? (Oxy? Ox-Lad? Oxer? Ox? O.C?)

Agree, he has something of the streetfighter about him a la Rooney.

Let's hope for England's sake his progress doesn't go backward like Walcott's has done.

I reckon Ox, only one syllable ;-)

Pat Rice thought Chamberlain was an England international of the future during an post champions league match interview.

It's shame they're not back in the premiership. Remember Le Tissier & Le Seaux?

Just interested to see if the house of cards is going to fall? If Redknapp, (and I think it is a huge IF) gets guilty, then it opens up the whole world of bungs in football. The fingers of suspicion here point at many other high profile managers, as Panorama alluded to some years ago.


Judas has a top Barrister working for him this fortnight though, and other charges related to this have not been made to stick to other people. There are some rumours also of a certain party turning Queens evidence on football..... intriguing.....


My prediction remains that he will be acquitted, manage England and probably win us the world cup. Flukey Coont! :D

You weren't paying attention were you. I said check his goal ratio. That's goals to games ratio.

Really? So you admit that his goal ratio is better than you may have thought. I suspect you haven't even bothered to look though. Of course you're more interested in goals per-season and to be honest so am I. It's one of the main reasons I'd like to see him play more. He didn't have a good season for us last year but this season he has looked really sharp and scored goals when he has been given the opportunity.

I rate Ballotelli very highly and as you've pointed out his strike rate is outstanding. What I would like to see is for him to get rid of the thuggish side of his game. Until he does he'll always be a liability to his club.

Van Persie has a better goal ratio than Defoe as well. I have seen the stats JL so I'm afraid you've suspected wrong.


Dzeko has a strike rate of a goal for every 93 minutes and Aguero has a strike rate of a goal per 107 minutes. All the City strikers have better goal ratio than Defoe.


While Defoe's goal ratio is quite good then there's always a danger this could worsen if he starts more games.

Mario Balotelli angered by ?deliberate? Redknapp tax evasion


Manchester City?s Mario Balotelli has reacted furiously after Harry Redknapp stole the attention of the world of football away from him for all of five minutes last night.


Details of Redknapp?s despicable tax evasion attempts through foreign bank accounts meant Balotelli was not the centre of controversy until news broke moments later of him being charged for stamping on Scott Parker.


Balotelli said, ?Once could have been an accident, but you can see he?s been cooking his own books for years.?


?The bank account was in the name of his dog and used his date of birth.?


?Jesus Christ. Come on Harry.?


Redknapp tax evasion


?I?m usually the last person to talk about people doing stupid stuff, but this is so blatant ? he?s trying to steal the spotlight away from me and I want to see him brought to justice,? Balotelli continued.


?It?s not the first time he?s done it and I?m sure it won?t be the last.?


?He did manage to sell Peter Crouch at a profit though, so fair play to him there ? no wonder the chairman wanted to give him a bung or two.?


The Italian has until 1800 GMT on Wednesday to do something even more newsworthy before getting banned by the FA.

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s
