Wenger Fabregas Nasri Injuries Arshavin Van Persie Wilshere Champions LeaguePublished: September 23, 2008
As you must have guessed, this post is going to be less news and more rants. We picked up an excellent win at the Reebok Stadium. Coming back from a goal down, not playing our best football, we still managed to take home 3 points. That was the good part. The bad part was the injury to Clichy. Davies lunged into a tackle, studs showing, he caught Clichy squarely on the shin, leaving a visible bruise. What did Davies get for the foul? A yellow card.
In the Chelski vs Manyoo game, Manyoo got 7 yellow cards. What happens? £25,000 fine. The fart faced cunt Rio Ferdinand mouths off obscenities towards Mike Riley. He chose not to report him. John Terry takes out his man with a rugby styled tackle. He gets a straight red and a three game suspension. But the decision is conveniently annulled, allowing him to play against Manyoo. On the other hand, Boro’s appeal against Aliadiere’s red card is dismissed and Aliadiere is handed out an additional one match ban, saying that the appeal was ‘frivolous.’ What!! Isn’t that double standard of the highest order?
And now, Bolton’s Kevin Nolan says that he asked Jlloyd Samuel to deliberately kick Theo Walcott out of the game. He says:
“I have never seen anybody as quick as Theo Walcott in my life. I said to Jlloyd Samuel ‘Give him a little kick and see if he comes back at you!”
So you have never seen anybody as quick as Theo? And to stop him, you would kick him? How would like it if someone kicks you right on your bollocks and as you fall down writhing in pain, he stamps on your head again and again and again? You are a sick son of a bitch, Nolan. And the officials of FA are sick sons of bitches too.
Are they going to do anything about it, now that Nolan has admitted that he told the team to kick our players? No chance. They would rather go and kiss Manyoo and Chelski’s arse. How often do we see the referees and FA give decision in their favour. It’s as if Manyoo and Chelski pay the FA their wages. The amount of partiality there is in Premier League is ridiculous. Had it been a Hull or a Stoke or a Fulham, I’m sure the three match ban would have stood. Just when the FA has a chance to put its foot down and say enough is enough – what do they do? FA – Fuck All.
To some Arsenal news now. Telegraph claims that they have discovered a confidential document that tells about Arsenal’s secret of success. I’m not sure whether it tells about that or the fact that the quality of Telegraph, especially its sports section, is going down the drain.
Young Johan Djourou has signed a long term contract with the club. That shows the faith Wenger has in him. And I believe he has done quite well for himself. Goes about doing his job quietly and efficiently. Good news that. But the biggest news is that we play Sheffield United for the Carling Cup tie today and Wenger is set to name our youngest ever side to face them. There is a possibility that the starting line-up could include: Emmanuel Frimpong, Jack Wilshere, Mark Randall, Abu Ogogu and Fran Merida. Now these are exciting youngsters with immense talent. This would be an opportunity to find out where they stand.
Right, that’s about it. Will be back with more tomorrow.

Has Nolan gone mad ? How he can give such an irresponsible comment ?

Thanks for your comment Deepak. The issue here is not his comments. The issue is his intent. Many fans up north are supporting Nolan and saying that ‘Southern softies must learn that this is a contact sport.’ That’s not the issue. I have no problem when a player goes for the 50-50 tackles. Get into a hard tackle, that’s fair. But go for the ball, not the man. He asked his players to kick Theo. Now that’s thuggish behaviour and that is what the FA needs to look into. And on top of that, he has the audacity to declare that he instructed his men to kick our players. The big question is, are Barwick and his men going to do something about it? I don’t think so.
