To the poster re arry, you thought wrong, civil war has broken out on a major spurs site regarding arry, the reasons why? team selections (regardless of form arry has his favourites), formations and tactics, no plan b, his dealings in the transfer market, its so that levy bought van der vaart and tried to buy in january but it was arry that umned and aard that the deals fell through; levy went from one club to another hoping arry would give him the nod. Its also said arry would want cole and johnson from the scousers (post to ed why is it ok to ban the word scousers and manure but not spuds??) but levy will not sanction any such moves and puts his trust in the scouting system that got us berbatov, modric ( and NO it wasn't comolli, he oversaw the contracts and signing, he did not scout them) and the heads up on van der vaart, like what was posted IF levy can get his man (short list of around 5?) then arry is on very borrowed time

As a Spurs fan I hate to post this but are Spurs and Arsenal becoming mirror images of each other? Heres the evidence
1. Both teams over reliant on injury prone talismanic players (King/RVP) and look noticably weaker without them.
2 Both teams popular with neutrals dut to playing expansive attacking football.
3. Both defences extremely brittle under any kind of sustained pressure and also prone to giving away silly goals
4. Neither manager has a plan B
5 Both managers failed to adequately reinforce in last 2 transfer windows despite some areas v obviously needing it (Arse commanding CB/DM and GK Tottenham top drawer striker and steady GK)
6. Both teams drop far too many points against teams who shouldnt on paper be able to live with them (WBA, Newcastle, Wigan and plenty of others on both sides)
7. Both sets of fans deflated/pssed off at seasons where instead of improving both teams gone sidewards at best
What you reckon Ed? {Ed002's Note - Keep me out of it.}

Well you are Arsenal's B team mate. Same football strategies except 1 buys young flops and the other buys their old flops.

25 Apr 2011 16:26:22
Rs fans, understand modric and bale will NOT be leaving! As for odemwingi or what ever his name is, is not coming to spurs just cause he has a good game against us does NOT mean he is joining! what are we scousers?

Mwaha! ! Post of the week, and its only Monday!

No, you are actually the Arsenal 'B' team. Is Eboue joining too? Mwa, now my week is better.

Wenger has to go! yes he has made some great signings over the years and brought fantastic football to the prem. there r players in our squad that don't care about the team only there bank balance, we would do well to get rid of them and bring in some steel! we need a manager who knows how to win cups and not settle for a 'good run' in the league or other cups. we (arsenal fans) need to sand up now and voice our concern 7yrs is too long for any trophy.

Why don't Arsenal just go and compete in the French Lige 1?? Does Arsene know that you can buy players from outside of France?

Deals for a.o chamberlain, diego poyet should not faulter and the deal for wickham is all but done now.

Well at least then you would support a proper club, whether red or blue.

Only real spuds rumours are for more ex-Arsenal has-beens.

Roberto Mancini risks the wrath of the Man City board if he sacks Mario Balotelli.

Mancini is keen to offload the trouble-making Italian, and wants to bring in Benzema or Eto'o, however the Board are reluctant to let Balotelli leave for any price and the scene may be set for a power-struggle.

Elsewhere, Craig Bellamy will sign for Cardiff in the summer, irrespective of which league they are in next season. Bellamy wants Kieran Tripper and Ben Mee to join him at Cardiff and James Collins and Danny Gabbidon might also be returning to the Welsh club along with Rob Earnshaw, Craig Taylor, Craig Mackail-Smith, Jason Koumas, Steve Morison, Neil Alexander and Simon Davies.

Arsene Wenger will leave Arsenal during the close season, but only if Jose Mourinho or a suitable replacement can be persuaded to take up the reins at the Emirates.

This could prove tricky, as Jose has already been earmarked to take over at Old Trafford when Fergie retires at the end of next season.

Pep Guardiola is also on Arsenal's wanted list as well as Guus Hiddink and the ex Bayern Munich coach Louis Van Gaal.

However, the real battle for Arsenal will be between Kroenke and Usmanov and then Kroenke v the fans who want to keep the traditions of the club.

Randy Lerner may wish to cash in his investment with Aston Villa as well, with the Midland club underachieving.
