i hear wes sneijder doesn't like him. good enough for me.

Piers Morgan, the CNN host and an Arsenal backer, didn’t waste time lambasting the Dutchman, saying on Twitter: "Funny, I really thought @Persie_Official was different. But he turned out to be just another mercenary, heartless, selfish little s**t."

Piers, 99% c*nt, 1% hilarity.

^Ravi Ubha is a tool, but I can't say I disagree with a lot of this. Arsenal need to spend the transfer fee and replace RvP. Get Song out now if we have to, and get one high grade premium striker, and M'Vila. That will make us a force to be reckoned with.

It'd be HILARIOUS if we went out and snagged Llorente, but I doubt that'll happen.

The glaring hole in the team now is at fullback.

RvP a real coup for United - ESPNFC

LOL, so he is headed to Man U huh.....

FVCK Man U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

USA!!!!!! Tim Howard was amazing vs Mexico, 2 HUGE saves!! Substitutes coming in, scoring and creating the goal. Way to go USA!!!!! 0-32 on Mexican soil, no more. I believe 1st win in 75 yrs against them

People have been calling him Judas, I see him more as Macbeth. With his head turned by half-truths, he was egged on into treachery by someone more ruthless, who used him as a vehicle for their own gain.

Realising too late that he has made a mistake, he carries on with his destructive course saying he is too far in blood steeped – that it would be as difficult to turn and go back as it would be to continue. He ends up getting his prize but finding it unfulfilling because of what he has had to do to get there.

Then someone kills him and puts his head on a spike. This is probably where my metaphor falls down but nobody knows how angry Tommy V is about this whole thing

and HELL YES USA. finally a win in the Azteca! i was freaking out when they read off the team sheet too, that back line was...interesting, to say the least!

David Dein = Iago

WHAT?! RvP went to ManU?? Sorry but I hate ManU!!

[Red370]

Everyone does.

Vermaelen named the new Captain, no one more deserving IMHO, he's been about Arsenal from day one and recently signed a long contract extension, great news. Arteta has been named vice captain. Fvck man i'm pumped for tomorrow.

Podolski took the 9 shirt, Wilshere is supposedly getting the 10. I guess we sold Park very quietly...

Just realized Iago is from Othello. I won't be sharing that faux pas with my professor-of-Shakespearean-literature mother.

Park is now #30. I feel good about Podolski breaking the "Arsenal's #9 isn't very good" streak.

I'm debating if I want an Arsenal jersey with just the number 10 on it now. F*CK names. At least I don't have to burn another jersey like I just did.

[cow]

If (when?) Song goes, I'll officially have no AFC kits with current players.

Song
Cesc
Nasri
Van Persie
Henry

I think that's it. I'm not buying names anymore. Feelsbadman.

[igotcabada]

should have made chamahk or captain so he leaves too

I made that decision a while ago, unless a legend (Like Henry, Bergkamp, etc.). Players are bought and sold too easily. There's very little loyalty in the game anymore.

As for Song, take the reported 20m and get Sahin and M'Vila or Llorente. We'd be so stacked in the midfield it'd be unreal. Then again, we'd also be ignoring the defense, again.

[phelan]

I'd feel a lot better about things if we got a left back and a defensive midfielder. Dunno who to even go for at LB though. All I know is that Gibbo and the cuddly maverick that is Andre Santos don't really fit the bill yet. YET.

I'd love to get Llorente, but...yeah, right. This is Arsenal we're talking about here.
