Not sure about making fool of himself, the man talks like a fan and he is pissed he is not on the board, anyone in the wold would be pissed if they had that much shares and on the board.

"But this is not the point. I am a fan and I am not going to sell these shares at any time, since this is the club that I consider the best in the world."

"Arsenal were one of the first teams I saw on television, and at that time I started supporting them," Usmanov revealed.

The headline is so misleading. He never said Arsenal are in a decline. In fact he made some good points, and I don't mind someone that constantly puts the board in pressure. It's only good.

But I must say the timing was wrong Haha.

In the 2011/2012 season, he had 5 goals and 2 assists to his name. His ability is to concentrate on key passes, take set-pieces and cross. Comparing him to the league’s best LB, Ashley Cole, his aerial wins are 63% compared to Cole’s 43%, and tackle success rate 74% to Cole’s 67%. Has a total of 351 crosses with an accuracy of 100 crosses compared to Cole’s 101 crosses with an accuracy of 20..

stats aren't everything, and plus Cole didn't have the best of seasons last year

and your forgetting the fact that Baines is their FK taker and Corner(i think)

Enjoy. Laughing

Guess who this is:

Strengths: A handsome devil with abs of steel and eyes more precious than diamonds, his lithe, oiled body bamboozles opponents into questioning their sexuality thus affording him the split second to score (with the ball). In theory. Also very tall.

At first I thought it was Arteta but the tall part gave it away.
Nice find Jay.... also about Jenkinson: Still hugely inexperienced, missed a lot of last season through injury, positional awareness right up there with a seagull who flies into a skyscraper rofl

Santos vs Song

Both have such great characters :bow:

Santos' penalties were pretty neat. Our next penalty taker after RVP. hmm

That ass tapping at the end by Santos was weird though. Laughing

tfs.. funny article... Razz

Weaknesses: Inconsistent, somewhat clumsy at times, definitely not anything other than a centre-half as his foray at right back showed, a bit injury prone, picked on by arsenal.com as the ‘We’ll bounce back’ bloke after every poor result.

true.. ha.. ha.. Thumbs up

trengths: When he’s bothered he’s exciting, creative and can bang in goals from all kinds of distances and angles.

Weaknesses: Rarely bothered, winters well, looks to be growing a wispy moustache

Didier Deschamps has announced his first France squad, for the friendly against Uruguay:

Lloris, Mandanda

Koscielny, MBiwa, Sakho, Varane, Debuchy, Jallet, Evra, Clichy

Capoue, Ribery Gonalons, Martin, Matuidi, Mavuba, Payet, Valbuena

Benzema, Briand, Giroud, Gomis

by SamuelJayC Thu Aug 09, 2012 3:42 pm

Arsenal duo Lukas Podolski and Per Mertesacker have been left out of the Germany squad to face Argentina in an international friendly next week.

The decision has been taken by coach Joachim Low due to the imminent start of the new Premier League season.

"The Premier League starts just three days after this game in Frankfurt so it is more important right now for Per, who was injured for a long time, and Lukas, who is fighting for his place as a newcomer, to be able to prepare for their upcoming tasks with their club," said Low.

That back 4 has definite potential. Koscielny will probably be pushed out of the starting 11 in a couple of years with the likes of Sakho and Mbiwa around but I think all of us are extremely happy with his progress since he came here. :bow:
