It’s The Samir Nasri Show As Bentner Rams Criticism Down Pundits Throats
ByThere are few nights that would rival the sense of satisfaction and enjoyment that Arsenal supporters around the world experienced last night. Yet it wasn’t for the fact that the Gunners secured a quarter final spot in the Champions League.
In a lot of ways, the display of total football last night, and the panache and arrogance it was delivered with clouds the significance of moving to the next stage of the competition.
It’s because of matches like last night’s that we all stand up and applaud the work of art that is Wengerball. It’s because of last night that we are reminded why we so love this game of football and why we swear by it.
It’s because of last night that we recognize how privileged we are to be able to witness before our very own eyes, the development of a group of players who together, are destined to become the best generation of Arsenal players that this club has ever seen.
Yet all around the Oscar winning performance that was the Samir Nasri show, the wretched voices of hackery and punditry defecated the air waves with pathetic attempts to belittle what was a master class in football.
They spewed their verbal diarrhoea and negativity in the commentary as they shamelessly looked for excuses to find fault with Arsenal’s game. They suffocated the pre and post match commentary with tired clichés and diatribe about Arsenal’s perceived weaknesses.
They jostled and positioned themselves – buttocks firmly planted on the fence hoping to pounce if Arsenal failed, and pretending to laud the Gunners when we went through.
The disappointment in their faces and voices were louder than a thousand words. Through gritted teeth, they tried to garner the courage to set aside their prejudice and contempt of Arsenal and do the right thing of clapping their hands and stamping their feet in recognition of what was without a doubt, one of the best football matches we have ever witnessed.
Yes I’m talking to you Mr. Graham Souness, Mr. Ruud Gullit, most definitely Mr. Tony Adams (legend you are, but you need to get your snout out of the pigs trough and get some fresh air away from the bile that is tabloid punditry; being an Arsenal legend doesn’t give you the licence to unleash your negative diatribe to get a pay cheque from these cretins).
Yes I’m talking to you Mr. Stan Collymore, Mr. Alan Brazil – and you know what – every miserable piece of anti-Arsenal &^&! Who works for Talk Shite radio. Yes I’m talking to you Mr. Alan Green and Mr. Mike Ingam and Mr. Graham Taylor as you try to lace your supposed love for Arsenal football with constant perceived negativity as if as insurance just in case Arsenal fall apart.
Last night was a night to stand up and bow to the privilege of being witnesses to a work of art. It wasn’t a night to pull out the ’Arsenal don’t have it in ‘em, especially without Cesc Fabregas’ nonsense of a script.
And all this without 3 of the best Arsenal players in William Gallas, Cesc Fabregas and Robin Van Persie. Clearly someone didn’t give Samir Nasri the memo that dictated that Arsenal would struggle without our talismanic Captain Fabulous. If you believed everything you read in the papers, you’d think Arsenal were doomed to struggle following Fabregas’s injury over the weekend.
Take nothing away from a collective team performance that oozed class and professionalism. Take nothing away from the individual brilliance and magic from Samir Nasri that suggested Arsene Wenger might have just invested in Bobby Pires, Freddie Ljungberg and Alex Hleb all rolled in one.
The last time I saw a goal like that was when a certain Diego Armando Maradona waltz through the entire England team and scored what in my view is the best individual goal I have ever witnessed – well, maybe until Nasri’s goal last night. Are you watching Maradona? Or was it ’Are you watching Stan Collymore?’
What about our very own B52 bomber. It was only yesterday that I said I was quite content and happy to live with Bendtner’s transgressions for the simple reason that he shamelessly put himself about and got into scoring positions despite his nightmare at the weekend.
For that effort and courage alone, you have to admire the kid. Last night’s hat-trick couldn’t have happened to a nicer bloke. If it’s any compliment, the Sun newspaper rarely issues a full hearted apology to anybody, let alone a 21 year old kid from Denmark.
What a way to stick two fingers up to all the critics of the weekend past and ram their criticism down their throats. This is not the first time Bendtner has produced match winning performances for Arsenal, and you really have to be a hater to think Bendy won’t be up there with the best.
And I haven’t even mentioned Arsenal’s ’Goal machine’ – Stand up and be counted Mr. Emmanuel Eboue. I would argue that Eboue is one of the most valuable players in the Premier league. Not in monetary terms per se – for player prices are just stupidly inflated.
Emmanuel Eboue is the most dependable versatile player there is in town. He can play left back, right back, left midfield, right midfield, central midfield and even as a relief striker if he needed to. Hell – if you gave Eboue the gloves, he’d stand between the sticks and do a job.
He’s not flashy and is not a ’champagne’ player – but he is dependable when doing the job asked of him and a manager can never ask for more than that from a player.
It’s a trip to Hull on Saturday evening, but for now, we must and we should get drunk in the enjoyment of the pure entertainment and total football that has reminded us all why we love and support the best football club in the world.
Mate that is Ronaldo in action ??
Agree mate.. Yesterday was the reason you suppor The Aresenal !!.. Thot everyone played out of thier socks.. There were some nervy, sloppy passes but we more than made up with our creativity..
Dont forget Arshavin.. Made 3 goals .. and Verminator.. he is a monster isnt he !! Thot he had this insane desire not to let any ball reach Almunia.. Blocked like a maniac..
Samir Nasri.. What a player !! I just loved him from the day he joined this club and he is going to be a class act..
Next Hull.. Think we will miss Song.. and dont think Campbell can carry on after today.. Cant wait till Billy comes back..
Well said and love the idea of Eboue in nets!
The only problem is he is so enthusiastic you would be playing rush goalie most of the time! (Yes I might be a girlie but I played park footie with my brother and mates)
That is a top 10/10 post. Well done mate.
Fast forward i dont understand why they dont give us credit when we are due???… G Souness said Nasri goal would never have happened in the premier league because proto defense was soo poor but yet again they the same sh****t when Cesc fab scored that fab goal against the spuds!!!!!
great article-let’s big it up for the boys!-not that i have any love for the sky pundits but i feel you are a little harsh on messrs souness & gullitt-to be truthfull whenever iv’e listened to souness in particular ,it appears to me ,he has a bit of a soft spot for us & admires our football as the way it should be played.maybe i,m missing something?who knows?who cares?-but as for talkshite radio-they’re just the biggest bunch of arsenal hating c**ts out there.spot on!
King Gooner.
My gripe with Souness is that he couldn’t even garner the courage to applaud Nasri for his magic – and he attributed Nasri’s goal to poor Porto defending – saying Nasri would never get away with it in the EPL.
Why can’t we just admire and acknowledge the individual brilliance of the playmaker and stop looking for excuses.
Everything good that they said was tempered with a ‘however’ comment. It was painful to watch them squirm.
Darius – You are a 100% right in every line of this blog. What is even worse are Arsenal supporters who continue the hedging and sledging because they were faithless and IMO are infected by the same xenophobia and prejudice that affects the media and football establishment. As an example, one of the most pernicious comments I read tonight was in The Telegraph by one Toby Young, a self-described Arsenal supporter, who, despite Bendtner’s success vs Porto, chose to proudly write this screed:
“Like many Arsenal fans, I had given up on Danish striker Nicklas Bendtner. His performance in the match against Burnley on Saturday was all-too-typical, missing chance after chance after chance. He has become a joke on the terraces, a talisman of Arsenal’s inability to press home their advantage. His puppy-like confidence in the face of an appalling couple of seasons, his enduring belief in his own scoring ability in spite of all evidence to the contrary, has made me want to shove his bright pink football boots down his neck.”
Apart from being a real twat, can you imagine Mr Young writing such bullsh*t, if Bendtner was English i.e. Walcott. It tells you that there are many Arsenal fans who don’t deserve the privilege of the riches this team and Prof Wenger is delivering.
Shotta my friend.
There’s a lot of jostling going on to save face as the realisation that Arsenal could actually win the double dawns on the pundits and hacks.
There’s a new party line being towed to suggest that if Arsenal win, it will only be because Chelsea and Manure were below par. No one actually wants to credit Arsenal for being the most consistent team over the 38 game marathon.
More importantly, it will shred to bits the notion that you need big money to win titles – Wenger’s direction in management on and off the pitch will be a bitter pill to swallow for many.
I think the two groups of people I’m disappointed in are ex-players trying to make a buck in punditry and indulging in Arsenal hating – and fans who have lost the faith for the selfish sake of saving face with their Chelsea and United friends and colleagues.
When this team lifts its first trophy, I will be very bitter as this lot also joins in the celebration, especially when they abandoned the team during hard times.
Bendtner has scored 6 goals in 5 games for club and country since his return. What the hell do they want him to do? Show me a striker bought off the shelf in January who could have matched that goal ratio.
Top comments mate. Although a bit nervy when Porto had their good spell after the break, I then later realised that had it been United or Chelsea then those nervy moments would not have been amplified as much.
Oh well – they hate us but we don’t care!
Eastend gooner.
One way of looking at it is that the team did well to stand the adversity and then go on to win.
How many times have we heard Chelsea and Manure being lauded for seeing themselves through difficult patches. When Arsenal do it – we’re shaky, when the others do it, they are resilient.
They don’t even credit Almunia for the saves he made to make the Porto attacks redundant, yet that is his job.
Beautiful night, beautiful post.
It’s scary how good we where, especially without our best striker, midfielder and arguably defender. We have never had this amount of quality at the club, NEVER! Even the invincibles would have struggled with similar injuries. Had we not lost RvP we’d have won the league by now. But what a job The bomber is doing now. Has there ever been a better reaction to criticism than that??? Once again you find yourself agreeing with Wengers trust in the current squad and not making extra signings. There isn’t a striker on earth that we could have bought in January that would have done a better job than NB52.
Also what’s with the ‘Sol made a few mistakes’ last night, mention by sky sports.
He was solid, he’ll go to the world cup.
Darius- It really was a confusing set of emotions for me and my mate last night. Here we were, elated after a night where we demonstrated a wide range of skils, passing and goals.
We had solo brilliance, sharp tuck-back for a tap-in, good forward play in anticipating the ball breaking across the box and a breathtaking breakaway goal.
Yet 5 minutes of listening to Messrs. Souness, Gullit and Tony (C’mon Son! I expected at least you to keep the faith), I felt we had lost 5-0, with every single vice we have exposed for the world to see.
Now I am all for moderation, keeping your feet on the ground, etc., but what happened to commentators and pundits actually describing the match in front of them? I remember one save Amunia had to make. Perhaps two if you counted Hulks angled punt.
It seems supporting Arsenal for many people or commentating on Arsenal has been reduced to delving into a grab-bag of cliches to elucidate the current editorial theme.
It is time ‘fans’ and pundits out there and in the Emirates start looking around them at peers in the EPL and perhaps then they will start to appreciate that watching an English team destroy a perennial Champions League Q-final contender with verve and style (and a few nervous moments) is actually quite fun.
Sometimes the mind-boggling arrogance we display when dismissing a team not in the EPL shocks me. Porto have performed admirably against both Man Utd and Chelsea in recent seasons and if watching our ‘obviously it’s brilliant to watch’ (Souness) or ‘of course they can rip anyone apart’ (Gullit) brand of football destroy them 5-0 is cause for doom and gloom, I say bring the naysayers on.
The media really have to decide if they value the spectacle of watching Arsenals take on football on big nights such as these, because if they want a dry, solid, life-squeezing victory- they only need to look to the Bridge to get it.
Three words from me. It was magical.
nice read and agree with everything apart from two points you make..
abit harsh on adams…mate thats his opinion, i think hes earned the right to say what he does and deep down inside we all know what he says is true..we are defensively niaive at times…every gooner and his dog can see that..stevie wonder can see that..
putting adams in the same mould as souness and collymore just becuase of your obsession with what the media say is abit out of order in my humble opinion..
as you so rightly say, the man is an arsenal legend, bled for the cause and breathes arsenal…hes done more to put arsenal where they are than what you and i have put together..who are you, or for that matter anyone, to tell him how not to, or how to support the club ‘correctly’
the mans record speaks for itself..if you dont like what he has to say..the answer is to simply not listen to him…but i would like to point out that countless other people have listened to him week in week out and theyve got a nice collection of medals for their troubles…
also a word on eboue..yes he has turned a corner and become mr reliable..but apart from his first season and this he has been pretty much shocking..the reason is wenger has played him in positions such as left midfield and left back and central midfield…he is reliable when he is asked to do a job on the right..especially at right back or wing back..he is capable of playing winger to a certain extent especially providing cover for sagna against tricky wingers, but if you think he makes a decent left sided or central player youve been watching the wrong bloke for the past 3 years…
not knocking him though, hes playing well at the minute…just dont agree with the way youve described it..hes not that versatile…keep him on the right and he’ll do a job..anywhere else and your asking for trouble..
We should be dealing with all of this if & when the PL or the CL has been won. That is all that sort really understand.
Last night is the reason we should love football. A big game that we really turned up at, team & support, to achieve a great result with a 5 goal win including a goal of an individual brilliance rarely seen.
Nothing is ever perfect but we should just sit back & enjoy this for a couple of days. We can sort out the plundits & anti-support at the end of the season.
nasris goal was out of this world..
whats scary though is the thought that we have almost an entire first team fit and everyone including the squad players are hitting form at the right time…
the CL is a possibility but maybe a bridge too far this season..
the PL on the other hand is there for the taking and i dont see us not winning it
ive never seen us play with this swagger since the invincibles..the last 3-4 games weve gone out ouzing confidence and determination..especially since young aarons injury..teams look scared of us again…its all clicking into place at the right time..we just need to stay focused
@Firstlady
Let me outdo you with just two words: Sol Campbell
The team certainly put a smile on my face last evening Darius. They also gave me the heebie-jeebies, particularly over the quarter hour just after half time.
But then we wouldn’t be The Arsenal if we didn’t do that I guess.
What a difference Sol is making to this team.
BTW the punditry down in South Africa seems to towing the same line as the English. Get Terry Paine for pre-match and half time analysis and same snide compliments followed by the “however/but” are endless. He doesn’t even come close to Gary Bailey…Darius, I am sure he will put all of those you mentioned to shame for anti-Arsenal punditry.
JonJon.
You know it is possible to be a legend and at the same time talk diatribe. The acts are not mutually exclusive.
It was Tony Adams who was quick to write Thomas Vermaelen off – saying that the Arsenal faithful won’t want another ‘short’ one. Boy was he way off the mark.
I don’t have a problem whatsoever with the legend that is Tony Adams, but legend status comes with responsibility and it doesn’t give him the licence to say what he wants without recourse. Besides, you’d think from what was being said last night that Arsenal lost 5 nil.
Flint, I totally agree with you. I’m not even in the mood of thinking about the game at Hull on Saturday. I’m just enjoying the next few days.
As for the Samir Nasri goal, my wife’s response was that Porto should immediately fire the 4 defenders Nasri humiliated…LOL!
Firslady, magical is as close a word you’ll get to describing that ecstasy. Enjoy it girl – it’s payback for all the udaku you get…LOL!
Incidentally JonJon – tefore last night, the most entertaining match in my view was another Samir Nasri show when we beat Manure 2-1 in October 2008 and Nasri bagged a brace (though I enjoyed him humiliating Gary Neville more).
Saloner….LOL! Football wouldn’t be Wengerball if you didn’t run the risk of a heart attack now, would it?
Simba. Paine is just a Pain in the arse.
I nearly started a campaign for DSTV and whoever is in charge of the sporting franchise from Sky to fire the damn fool every time I heard him speak.
The thing is this (and Firstlady can back me up on this one) – pundits in Asia and Africa really do a piss poor job because all they do in punditry is copy the script that the cretins in England follow.
I’ve come across newspaper articles that are direct copy and paste material from the diatribe in the UK and it’s sold as expert opinion on the EPL. If only the readers knew it was shit from UK tabloid newspapers being recycled word for word.
I had to convince a few Arsenal supporters in Cambodia and Malaysia that these guys who sit on sofas here are really first class platinum idiots and what they say really needs to be filed in between shit and syphilis.
Unfortunately, what they say is taken as gospel by the masses.
its his opinion though darius…just because you think its rubbish what he says doesnt mean everyone else does..
of course you are also entitled to your own opinion but i just think its abit OOT to bracket him in the same breathe as souness etc..abit harsh…
oh and i believe it was adams who told wenger to watch TV in the first place and also did some scouting on him…
i think adams just said what he said to throw other teams off his trail…abit like a smokescreen when wenger said AA wasnt good enough for PL then went and signed him…you just dont know..
yeah nasris a right little player..impressed me last season but has taken a while to get going this season..dont know whether its cos of wenger playing him out wide and him getting used to it or cos of his leg break..maybe a combination of both…but one thing is or sure hes a quality player…love watching him play in the middle,,,and he’s hitting form too..good stuff
A superb display of a variety of ‘football-o-metry’ called ‘Wengerball’. Nasri was the bomb yesterday! The ball seem to stick to his foot like with a glue. Just simply almost the most beautiful goal ever score. Certainly the most joyful to watch in recent times. I say that with full respect to Henry, Denis Bergkamp and Fabregas.
I will not join anyone in the over-analysis of the performance. I just want to bask in the exhiliration of it for a couple of days before I have to think about Hull comming up.
JonJon.
Quit while you’re ahead – Adams didn’t bring Vermaelen to Wenger’s attention. It’s misguided falsehoods like that which end up with the risk of becoming true.
Vermaelen came to the attention of Arsenal at the 2007 Amsterdam cup when Arsenal played Ajax and Vermaelen gave Van Persie a master class in defending – even squaring up to RVP several times.
To suggest that Adams was responsible for identifying and scouting him is an insult to Rowley and the work done in the subsequent 2 years to scout Vermaelen.
Look – I don’t have a problem with viewing Adams both as a legend and also criticising his moments of stupidity. I don’t want or even intend to take away from his contribution to Arsenal. There’s nothing wrong with holding the two states of affairs in the same space.
Compare Adams with how Henry, Bergkamp, Gilberto and Pires, all Arsenal legends have carried themselves post their Arsenal careers. The difference here is that Adams paymasters are walking him up the garden path and cajoling him to be edgy to bring in the ratings. It’s the classic punditry conundrum.
Also, we’re not being ignorant of this teams defensive challenges – and reading this blog and the views on it will tell you that. I just don’t agree it was an issue the way it was portrayed last night. If we had played United and they breached our defenses or gave us a scare like last night, then it would have been OK since it was United.
Perhaps you’re the one being naive by not seeing the strategy that the Sky punditry are aiming at here of having an Arsenal legend spew their diatribe on their behalf. It’s the oldest trick in the book.
Well that little mute button has become very handy for me these days…you can almost anticipate what they going to say next. If only you could get a filter and just get chants from the fans.
im not saying he was soley responsible..of course wenger seen him..wenger has siad it himself as you so rightly point out..but adams played a role i can assure you..
of course the media have an agenda…its clear to see..but adams isnt going on and chatting shit his he…adams is telling people what theyalready know..
of course you mention bergkamp gilberto and pires..but its to be observed that they were quiet personalities…not outspoken and quite reserved
adams is not that type..hes outspoken and what you see now is the what you saw when he played..he wasnt captain for so long for nothing..
your wrong to mention henry too..henry is a legend and i will be forever thankfull for what he did as a player…but all the stuff he says now goes over my head as much as what wrighty or merse r what adams says
simply because people forget that when he left arsenal he took a pay off of 10mil for his last season…which consisted of a handful of games..
the club only pocketed 6 mil from his transfer…in my mind thise actions make him as bad as what the words of adams makes him in your mind…
but i chose to ignore these facts as he was and always will be a legend…his words mean nothing now cos he robbed us blind
Darius – another fine piece. I think you’re being a little unfair to Graham Taylor, I look forward to his comments on our games because he’s not afraid to praise our football or our club. Last night he said that he could see Wenger’s vision for the club vindicated, that he thought we were excellent and that he usually does, he just wishes we’d have more shots of which he pointed out we had plenty last night. Compared to Claridge’s doleful moping through our game at Portsmouth he was a delight. Claridge was invited to comment on Ramsey’s excellent goal at Fratton Park and all he could manage was – ‘yeah well, that’s what you’d expect him to do.’ For me ITV are the worst, I have to put on the radio to accompany the pictures. Their Chelsea love in for the Inter game was cringeworthy and totally glossed over the fact that they were poor at the back and out thought over the rest of the pitch.
Beardy.
Maybe I was hard on ole Taylor, perhaps giving him the Green/Ingam brush.
Claridge is a first class joke. For a man who lasted 32 days in a job as manager, he really has a lot to learn.
I do feel sorry for him though – imagine being given a P45 after 32 days. I was actually working and listened to the radio commentary of the Portsmouth game you say – and I remember Jacqui Oatley who was the commentator at one point told him to stop talking rubbish and enjoy the exquisite football that she was watching….LOL!
She didn’t exactly use those words, but she definitely bitch slapped his anti-Arsenalism on air.
JonJon, I have absolutely no problem with your view on Henry – for you’re entitled to it.
I would encourage you to follow what Bob Wilson, another Arsenal legend and former goal keeping coach who has worked extensively with Wenger says when he talks to the media.
Incidentally, he also says his biggest bane and what pisses him off the most are ex-players who tow the media negativity for the sake of a pay cheque.
Perhaps Adams can learn a lot from the legend that is Bob Wilson.
One of my favorite early season pundit predictions was from Shaun Custis of The Sun. He thought we’d be OK but couldn’t see where the goals would come from.
Poor old Tony Adams isn’t the brightest. He wasn’t called ‘Rodders’ just for his looks was he?
Dixon and Keown are usually fair as pundits. I’m always happy when Ray Parlour is on the radio because he’s allowed to get away with being a fan. You can hear him cheer when we score.
As for the rest – they’ve taken the King’s Shilling.
Jon-Jon, a true legend will back up his legendary status by backing his club all the way. Adams, as much as I loved him, has annoyed me no end this season. He spewed quite a few rubbish when he should have been possitive.
The poor boys could have gained lots of confidence from knowing that they have the support of someone of the cult Arsenal status as Adams. As Darius said, Adams should learn from Bob wilson. Even Chalie Nick is doing better than Adams. And wasn’t he at Arsenal for just 4 or 5 years if I count correctly?
Adams’ beef is with Wenger. He has said as much himself. Why doesn’t he simply go talk to Wenger? I tell you why; he didn’t like what he heard. Wenger backed him in public, but told him the truth in private. Why take that out on the team? I say no more on this matter.
LRV – I’ve always thought that Adams had a chip of some sort regarding Wenger. Not much was said about that telephone call to Wenger when Adams took over from ‘Appy ‘Arry.
Bob Wilson in his comments alone, has done so much for Lukasz Fabianski’s career than anyone could – simply by encouraging him publicly and using his own example of the nightmare of the 70-71 cup final when he had the mother of all howlers at the near post and would have gone into exile if Charlie George hadn’t saved his blushes.
Beardy, now that you mention ‘Rodders’ – it’s so freaky….LOL! I do love our Rodders, I do.
You were not hard on Taylor. I used to quite like him but then listened to his comments on the radio coverage of the Burnley match when he stood four square behind the Wenger bashing following the assault on Ramsey.
Excellent article. Spot on.
Thanks Darius.
Loved your responses above,
let’s have a brief look at Sky’s experts.
Ruud Hullit: A Chav, Once considered an exciting (managerial) prospect, now discredited? How does he compare to his peers, Van Basten & Rikjaard?
Would struggle to get a ‘managerial’ job?
Graeme Souness: Apart from the new owners, & the previous board that sold the club, he is the person most responsible for destroying Liverpool FC.
Would struggle to get a ‘managerial’ job?
Tony Adams. No comment, other then to point out, that he thought it was a good career move to walk into a position bizarrely, and quickly vacated by Our Beloved Geezer ‘Arry.
Oops.
Even Caprice has more sense then that (runs her own successful business).
Will struggle to get a ‘managerial’ job for a little while yet after that fiasco?
I love Sky.
Comic genius.
credit should also be given to arshavin’s performance, for the past couple of matches he seemed selfish. This time he came up with a bunch of important assists and managed to miss a sitter. but guess we can forgive him for the miss
Simba I hate the analysts at Supersport. The dickheads cant say anything positive about Arsenal, or they say it with a pinch of salt with these endless “howevers”.The worst was during our consecutive losses to you know who. I can’t even begin to count the times they mentioned kids against men. boy, that riled me up to no end, incidentally it is the last time i listened to their analysis.When our game is on supersport3 I make a point of starting to watch it just 5mins before kickoff, that way I miss their shitty pre-march analysis, during halftime I use that time to go get a drink or to the loo or anything that will make me not sit through a mini-hell for 15mins, and obviously after the game I have no reason whatsoever to listen to them. I love it when our games are on different channels say supersport7/5 coz there is no stupid punditry to go through. I can’t even tell you what their names are, amongst them the only one who’s come close to defending us is the former charlton player.
I wish Gtv hadnt close shop coz as it is now we dont really have a choice, supersport is the only option we have of following our beloved club.
Darius dont even get me started on the Kenyan pundits, or experts or sports writers. Gosh, they suck big time. Most times you end up reading/hearing the same recycled shit from them,nowadays i dont even bother.
As for the commentators during the game( most probably the sky ones you guys complain about all the time) many are times when I ended up being angry during marches coz of their bias against Arsenal. Lately I have found a way of tuning them out without having to mute (prefer listening with the sound on coz of the stadium noise).That’s me done ranting.
hey could somebody transcribe arsenal fans sing toward stan collymore
O that man yuck
