Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [27th - 28th August 2011]

I find it amazing that Nasri played today, I would have thought it would take a while to get used to a team's system, movement forward, defensive work etc.

What's happened to Gomes ?

he seems to be 2nd choice. He is absolute **** though which may explain that :p
 
Not bitter at all - I've always championed him as a top player, and not being an anorak, I'm not going to go back over posts I've made saying what a good signing he is, but his levels of arrogance roise significantly last year at Villa and now he's at a club suited to this.

We are a selling club, players move on, seen it for years - Platt, Yorke, Barry, Milner, Young....if you understand football you're not bitter, as United fans would've understood why Ronaldo left them for a bigger club.
 
Amazing how quickly Ashley Young has settled into the Man Utd setup, he's displaying petulance and arrogance at a level we never saw at Villa Park.

What bitter tears!

Yep, a quality player settles easily into a quality side and scores quality goals.

The only thing not seen at Villa is ....... quality!
 
sandy your sig is highly ironical.

Isn't it just

And he still hasn't backed up his claim that Young displayed arrogance and petulance today instead presumably hoping someone will jump on his Ronaldo comment

He's the definition of a troll

Ridiculous - you don't need specific "examples" to identify arrogance - it's a general trait or demeanour, rather than individual episodes.

As someone who watched pretty much all of his games for the past 4 seasons at Villa, I can identify this.
 
If wenger had lots of £££ to spend from past sales and refuses to spend it. Then i cant see any reason why anyone would stil back wenger.

People here backing wenger are only assuming that its the Board that dont want to spend. What if it is not true? what if it just Wenger who is being stubborn? End of the day Wenger has said every summer he has money to spend? so why believe in a "rumour" that we have no money to spend rather then believe exactly what wenger himself says?

What did wenger say in june?

Something along the lines that "You cant sell both nasri and fab and expect to be classed as a top club anymore"

People seem to blame the Board and not wenger, yet when wenger had Toure, gallas, nasri, fab,adebayor, Hleb, Gilberto Silva, Flamini, diarah etc etc we still diddnt win anything with those players 3-4 years ago and u cant say the above players are crap.

SO why diddnt we win back then? lack of experiencE? nope. lack of ability and experience? nope? i tell u why we diddnt win back then. No plan B, no change of tactics and no clue how to defend(i have said before even if wenger bought vidic, puyol, ashley cole and ferdinand we would still concede stupid goals). You cant blame the board for crap blinded tactics can you. thats all on Wenger. The board doesnt teach the players how to defend. The board doesnt pick players to play in positions thats alien to them and the board certainly dont architect a PLan B. No that is Wenger. that is what he is employed to do and i am sick to death of earing people defend him and **** off the board as if Wenger is not to blame at all.

Using the board as a scapegoat in other words when both u and i dont know the ins and outs and all assuming the board doesnt want to pay for high quality players. Yet the ONLY official word we have heard out of arsenal is straight from Wenger who has said millions of times that we have money to spend on big players! it was only a week or two ago wenger said he is willing to drop 30m on a single player!

So why are u believing in a myth/rumour of the board not wanting to spend instead of your beloved idol Wenger who has been clear to us we have money to spend?

If wenger cant win nout or at least challenge till May for the title with the above players in mentioned earlier, what chances of him doing anything now? what chances of him changing his ways when he has never changed his ways?

I feel sorry for the Likes of jenkins been thrown in the deep end by wenger and made to look like a bunch of amature players who are not even good enough to play in a sunday league. Their confidence must be shattered and look and behold, not a single veteran experience player in that whole team that could pick up Jenkins and give him some words of wisdom whilst MANU HAVE those veterans still there .

At the end of the day, dont use the board as the scapegoat and an excuse until YOU post some HARD FACTS about it being the boards fault. End of the day, the HARD COLD FACTS is that we have money to spend and Wenger hasn't and appears to not want to spend it.
 
Talking of irony - considering he was in significant pain enough to deem him unable to continue, Van Der Vaart didn't half belt that ball in the tunnel!
 
Friedal is a better keeper than Gomes end off.

Villa fan here so i know what im talking about, Friedal is more consistent and can pull of the world class saves.
