Theres a nice few bob in stolen gold jewels and bank notes.............dont take up too much space,no real upkeep required......worth some thought anyway
-
I realise this is only the internet,but still it amazes me how freely people are willing to use certain words...................where i come from if your not absolutely 100% sure you just dont use the words nonce/grass etc as the consequences of being wrong are far too great...............people on here seem to sling the words around like their dishing out sweets !!

What is this mad notion that for some reason footballers shouldnt want money Show me anybody at the top of their sport/job who doesnt want to go where the money is......why shouldnt a footballer do everything he can to secure his families future when its what every man dreams of doing ????.....dont tell me if you worked in Tescos and Asda tapped you up and was willing to double your wages you would say " no ive been here 3 years my loyalty is with Tescos ".................or should they just play for the love of the game as they,re already on a good wage ..................Rare talent deserv

I thought you meant " average career " as an individual considering you was comparing him to Andy Carrol.
-
An average career ......Will have played for 2 of the greatest clubs in world football.....been a leading scorer of the premiership,premiership players player of the year,one of Arsenals all time leading scorers.....a WORLD CUP runners up medal........................................................i like the kid Carrol.....but if he achieves half of what Van Persie has achieved in his " average career " i,ll be very surprised.

Pull up outside Wickes and sling a gang of Poles in the back of your van.................thats what most people in the property game are doing these days -
Is that what you really think.....or is that what you want to think....................my guess is like Fabregas,Nasri,Cliche and now Van Persie............they are top players who want to win things...................and realise Arsenal lack the ambition to win trophies...............top players are not content to be the 4th best club in England every year............like it or not Arsenal have put themself on the rung below the top clubs of the premiership ladder.
-
Its because the club know they can sell the ground out every week.....they dont care if its with genuine fans or not just as long as the tickets get sold...................the proper supporters are gradually slipping away and being replaced with the prawn sandwich brigade type fans..............but as long as they sell out every week and qualify for champions league football nothing will change....................a good pal of mines a regular he says the " in Arsene we trust " idiots are getting fewer and fewer.
-
You cant be very old if you dont remember Arsenal winning trophies...........its that attitude that their older generation of fans despise............why would a massive club like Arsenal with some of the greatest history and traditions in the English game be content to finish 4th every year.........fans dont care about a bank balance they want success............well they should do anyway.
-
The promise Arsenal fans got before going into the Emirates was that the team on the pitch would not be sacrificed for the debt of the new ground...................at Highbury they regularly won trophies ......yet since moving into the Emirates they havent won a sausage !...............They exploit their fans loyalty,Van Persie could of been sold weeks ago....Arsenal have a policy that all season ticket holders must have their ticket bought by July 1st.........funny how they wait till the tickets are sold and only then sell their best player !..................Id feel a little bit short change
-
" shit "..................No big firm,reputable business or succesfully run sports club would pay 200k per week for someone who is " shit " at their job !...............thats just being silly.
-
I think it says a lot about where Arsenal are at as a club..................they just dont see Utd or City as rivals anymore and are content to sit a level below them........Cliche and Nasri sold to City now Van Persie to Utd their 3 best players to the 2 top teams in the league....if they thought they was contesting the title with them they wouldnt of let their best players go their.............i feel sorry for Arsenal fans.....as an Arsenal pal of mine says " Arsenal take the most from their fans....and give the least back "

hahaha good for you mate................are those shirts worn through choice or have they been force fed ...........give them time !

And your Irish !!!...........Whats the world coming to

They are not the same as Olympic athletes..............i know its a nice romantic saying.....but they are not....................paralympics sports have been manufactured around the athlete.......................in the able bodied Olympics its the opposite,the athlete is manufatured around the event......................you cant change the rules of a sport to suit the athlete and continue calling it the same sport. And its nothing to do with walking a mile in another mans shoes and all those silly sayings.................its just about keeping things real.....................i say again ma
-
Thats just being daft.............i could say.....ok i,ll go down and take on the best paralympic athlete at powerlifting......he might out lift me on bench press but he,s not going to out squat me or out deadlift me because he hasnt got any legs !!! and that is what powerlifting is its a 3 lift event........................ Its nothing to do with disrespecting the athletes,its about manufacturing the sport around the athletes.......which for me is not right.

I understand different folks will feel different about it ive no problem with it as im all for anything that enriches peoples lives who struggle....................i just dont think we as society should be expected to get behind it as we would the proper Olympics thats just unrealistic....... Just to add..............a lad comes in the gym in a wheelchair he has the most fantastic upper body you could wish for....but his legs are like toothpicks..............he,s a nice fella and has a great approach to lifting,but he accepts he could never enter a bodybuilding contest......for me thats an ho
-
Thats fine and good for you............like i said i admire the guts and character it takes to compete able bodied let alone disabled so my hats off to them.................you say its no different to the olympics of course it is,they are manufactured immitations of true sports........i just dont think its right the way theres an " olympics " for it.....why not just be competetive on a small scale......disabled sport is far in the minority compared to able bodied why does everything have to be equal when its clearly not. As regards the " blind people crawling around searching for a ball with

Im 100 % sure i wouldnt..............................................maybe if it was only half that height.............because then you,ve got a much better chance of survival if you fall
-
Without wishing to sound harsh or unkind....i find a lot of this paralympic stuff a bit of a joke really............ok its easy to say that as an able bodied person and i admire anyone who is competetive and can gain enjoyment and fulfilment through sport.....those less fortunate than ourself deserve every chance and my hats off to them 100 %.........................but to pretend like its some big worldwide sporting event i find a bit ridiculous........................lets keep it real,90% of people who ran home from work to watch Usein Bolt or Mo Farrah are not going to run home to watch a b
-
I dont remember saying that...........i remember saying we would not get up automatically...............and we didnt. Allardyce deserves a crack at keeping us up simply because he did what he came to do..............but i dont think he,ll keep us up.....that setting your team up not to lose worked in the championship but its not going to be enough in the top flight.

Shame that he was a good character and done a lot for the game.........RIP

Must admit i thought Joshua was lucky to get the nod.....again.............but f**k it who cares sometimes it go,s your way and more often than not it dont so great............hopefully the kid will stay amateur a while yet he seems quite a shy sort of lad the intensity and pressure of turning pro could knock him back a bit in his development.......i guess its how confident he feels in his own ability......if his confidence is high he,ll stay amateur.......if not he,ll turn pro now and cash in on what he,s just achieved.
-
Realistically....how do you chaps see your seasons going ?......I,ll be well happy if my Hammers stay up.....though i dont think we will. As for the title i think City could clear up this year possible even do the double.
