bwuahahaha! henri lansbury is arsenal's new no. 1!!!!

Steele protested he had touched the ball but Christof Virant showed him red and Tosun stepped up to beat Henri Lansbury, who was now forced to play in goal.

Ginczek missed a good chance for 3-0 and Jan Tilman Kirchhoff forced a good reaction save from Lansbury.

Quote:

Capello also added that Jack Wilshere had been sent home from training with an injury, and will miss out.

This is why I hate the interlull.

I've owned plenty of Nike training jackets & found all fit normally.

Red, I'm the same height & about fifteen pounds heavier (read: out-of-shape). A large will be perfect for you.

wtf

ah chit, Jackys out? I'm hoping it something minor like an ankle sprain or strained ligament.

Thanks frenchy, looks like i'll be going with a large then.

probably more goal.com BS, but i've been saying I want this guy for YEARS. He'd be an excellent replacement for the russian.

like one of the comments said - 80% of the old Russian's flair, 120x the work rate

yeah, that one made me LOL a bit. But it couldnt be more true. Only thing i'd say is that hes a bit fragile, and misses a week here and there for various ankle/groin issues. But when hes healthy, hes a terror down the wing.

So I bought a Nike Vapor T90-- best ball I've ever used. It's so light, but man can you hit the chit out of it. I've never played with a ball that flew truer, either.

How much are those? I remember a long time ago, after the 02' WC, Eurosport had an overstock of the Fevernova and had them in the sale section for $60, that ball would fly to Jupiter if you hit it wrong. You could get some crazy spin on that crap too.

Red370 · 11-17-2010, 06:19 AM

another thing I wanted to add, the team i'm coaching had soccer practice last night and i'll tell ya, i've got some mixed feelings about the predators. They fit like a glove and I played a solid 2 hours (combining all the drills n such), no hotspots to report, nothing, they feel effin' great. But one thing i'm definitely going to have to do is adjust my shot with them. They almost put TOO MUCH spin on the ball. Whereas normally with my Puma Kings, I could bend a ball perfectly into the "kill" zone as I like to call it, now when I hit the ball in the same way, it curls sharp and down. So it seems i'm going to have to learn to take less sharp angles and lean back more when I hit it to put it where I need to. Not sure if this is a curse or a advantage...

cow · 11-17-2010, 07:11 AM

$150 (it's the current EPL ball). I had been playing with a Jabulani & didn't mind it, but now I understand people's gripes about the ball. In retrospect, I was adjusting my shot because the ball was going to spin funny. The T90 stays true when hit straight on & spins when spun. It really was a dream.

Red370 · 11-17-2010, 08:44 AM

I love the way they sort of "thump" off your foot, rather than crack off the foot like a wal mart special adidas/nike ball does, you can definitely tell a pro match ball from a regular run of the mill training ball thats for sure. Unfortunately there arent any good fields here, i'd be too damn afraid of paying $150 for a quality ball, just to watch it get ruined.

cow · 11-17-2010, 09:25 AM

I play indoor, so the balls after a match are two are all black marked from the rubber under the turf. It's kind of unfortunate busting out a beautiful brand new ball knowing it's going to look Tina Turner in an hour.
