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

[phelan]

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?

No it isnt. BTW you do realize they only beat England who sucks *** right?

Let them beat a legit team and then I will be convinced. (friendly only anyways so it means NOTHING since it wasnt full squads)

[phelan]

haha, i didn't go so far as to comment on form. i only mentioned it was a mildly entertaining fixture that may / may not have a heavy impact on the EPL. poor poor scousers, stevie G is hurt again...

but yeah, england fking sucks if their entire gameplan is "hey guys! long balls to andy carroll!!!!!"

walcott didn't get any help from the midfield at all, and gibbs...needs more matches under his belt to get back to full speed.

You lost me at England sucks if....

You had me at England sucks. Need I remind you of the demolishing? People doubted Germany and favored England because they are on the English ****.

Maybe it's a blessing in disguise that Nasri played the whole match-- I've got the feeling Gallas is going to try to hurt him.

[phelan]

If he does, Fabregas better ruin Gallas' leg with a crunching tackle that he's growing fond of...

[Red370]

what I dont get is why players need so much damn rest, i've been in soccer tournaments that require you to play 4-5 full time matches over a weekend, 3 days is plenty of rest between matches. But in a way, I agree, Nasri and Gallas are going to clash, so its probably best to rest him, but against the yids, as much as I hate to say it, we'll need every ounce of talent we can get on the pitch. If Jacky is still hurt, I have a feeling le petit Zidane will be playing a part.

[Red370]

quick question, how many times can you count in a match that Nasri disposesses a ball? i've probably seen one in 3 or 4 matches. He reminds me alot of Xavi in that respect.

I just realized I won't get to see the fcuking match until Sunday night or even Monday. Fcuk everything.

I'm waking up at 6:20am on a Saturday just to watch the derby, im effin' pumped. I'm hoping Jacky is well enough to play. I'm going with 2-1 to the Arsenal, Fabregas and Walcott on the scoresheet with Defoe for the spuds.

[phelan]

did Defoe pass fitness??? i thought he was still a big doubt for the derby.

edit: guess he did. he will still be rusty, but he has the ability to latch onto whatever cross bale is going to put in. hopefully sagna keeps bale in his pocket.

wilshere is available too.

i'd say 1-1 actually due to the frailty of our back line (if we had TV5 this would be a different story). walcott on the goal for us, van der vaart for tottenham.
