Time to bend a few in.

the new jersey is pretty comfy too :tup:

what, barclays tags? i thought you were gonna get the champions league patch!

They dont have that option at Arsenal Store USA :( I originally ordered from the UK with the RvP Jersey, but figured if I ordered from their US store, i'd get the jersey in much quicker. And yes, it feels quite nice!

and BTW

good, maybe they'll keep their fucking hands off Cesc. And I still say that AW needs to buy Elia, we'll need an Arsha replacement soon.

I got a feeling he'll finish his career as a Gunner, he probably doesnt mind the rain like that pussy J.A.R.

lol JAR

I refuse to call him anything else, asshole got me all pumped n stuff because he was scoring boatloads and winning matches for us, next thing I know, hes not used to the weather and whining about how much it rains in England and this and that, I will forever despise the bastard, only reason I kept the shirt is because it was the 1913-2006 "Last Hurrah at Highbury" kit, stupid JAR.

still trying to figure out what jersey to buy for next year's kit

If things stay the same, maybe Song for me. I want a Rosicky, but dude never gets significant PT.

Wilshere will be my next. No better way to warm up to an English crowd than to have one of their own on my back, being that i'll be attending no less than 10 matches next season at the Emirates :)

its crazy, there are no seats available for less than 80 pounds, and those are nosebleeds. Good thing I got 10k left from my reenlistment bonus, woot.

Honestly, I've never been overwhelmed by the home support. Emirates should be resonating with voices, but it often isn't. I'd try to get some away tickets to some ridiculous place like...oh, I dunno. Anfield, or Old Trafford. The away support for Arsenal is superb.

At risk of being redundant, completely agreed.

I'm sick of the only chant we ever hear being, "We're Arsenal FC...."

Every fcuking team has a version of that song-- we're better than that.

With all that said, I'm sure this weekend will be raucous.

"What do we think of Tottenham? 'Chit.' What do we think of 'chit?' Tottenham."

Yeah, it's sad when our standby chant is the "And it's (insert club here), (insert club here) FC, we're by far the greatest team the world has ever seen..." We should be better than that. For example, while I don't necessarily support Liverpool, I still get goosebumps when I watch a Liverpool match and the entire stadium is belting out YNWA.

:facepalm:

What do they play during lineups these days? 'Right Here, Right Now', or 'Wonder of You'? I forget haha. I set up FIFA 11 to play Wonder of You just because I like it more :tup:

Anyway,

"STAND UP, IF YOU HATE TOTTENHAM!"

I think if I purchase tickets for an away fixture, i'd definitely want to get the match vs. the yids, the N London Derby is always a classic, hotly contested affair, the crowd has to be deafening at those matches.

I'm highly considering buying an Arsenal winter training jacket for those cold days over there, but the damn thing is $150 :(

$150, but i'll be damned if that thing doesn't last a long time.

I got an Arsenal training jacket that was wasting away in the corner of a Nike outlet store. $40, I wear the damn thing everywhere :rofl2:

Oooh, fleece blankie :rofl2:

http://onlinestore.arsenal.com/conte.../N_L_A3228.jpg

ooh! that'd be a sweet throw for a couch! im like a kid in a candystore at that website, as a matter of fact, think im gonna go blow $200 on random shit now.

quick question fellas, i've never owned a nike training jacket before, how do they fit? I'm going to buy this one, but im not sure if I should get a Medium or a Large, I had a Large jersey before and it fit me like a dress, i'm 5'10, 170

this bad boy:

they run a bit small imo

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/st...europe&cc=5901

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

:rofl2:

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:icon17: 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.

Ashley Young poised to quit Aston Villa and join Arsenal in January - report - Goal.com

I'll take him.

like one of the comments said - 80% of the old Russian's flair, 120x the work rate :rofl2:

:icon18: 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.

The perfect Gunner!!!! :inoutroflpuke:

my thoughts exactly.:rolleyes:

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.

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...

$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.

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.

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.

hence why i just use the training balls...besides, i'm not a long range goal scoring machine, so i have no need to, i just aim carefully and pick a good angle.

i chuckled to myself this morning b/c i read arseblog before i left

and i was chanting to myself 'arry redknapp hes got a twiiiiiitch

:rofl2:

:ugh:

well...somewhat entertaining fixture between england and france ends with the french 2-1 winners over the hosts.

i gotta say, i am NOT happy that nasri went full time. he put in an absolutely brilliant display, but he better have something left in the tank for the sp*rs!!!

Great to see France back in form, Blanc has the team brimming with confidence it seems. And I agree, hopefully they didnt kill "le petit Zidane" today.

Wow thank ******* god there is something other than Arsenal talk in here.


Anyone see the USA game?
