The real power behind West Ham

Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson, the Icelandic investor who owns 95% of the company that took over at Upton Park, was once convicted of embezzlement

Well to be serious I don't think he's been in good form anyway - with Anton fit and Collins coming in, we might actually find a good partnership. I rate Collins. It's a shame we sold Ward though.

Is there any pre match Everton news?

They got pumped by ManU last week. Without Cahill they may have a softer centre.
 

 Dave said...
Without Cahill and Johnson vs Man U and from what I've read AJ won't be back in a hurry.

WHUBris - Gabbs has been in top form since the Arsenal win.
 

 norven munky said...
G the countdown to the Everton game is wrong. Kick off is Sun 3rd Dec 4pm London time.
 

 whubris said...
Arg. It's because they change kickoff times - it's hard to keep up.

Quite a bit of Pardew discussion in this post at KUMB

http://www.kumb.com/story.php?id=11975

Some notable stuff :-

Tevez? I have to say I thought he was very good. He didn’t get substituted because he was playing poorly. We lost Gabbidon and suddenly looked a very little team. I brought Teddy on to defend set plays – that’s where we were today. If I felt we’d been in control of the game Tevez would have carried on – that was the only reason I took him off. We looked small – I needed two big strikers on to defend. He did get a great reception. His technique is what West Ham fans like. His commitment was there – he was charging around. I have to tell you because you’re going to find out later anyway but he’s gone straight home after the game. I’m very disappointed with that. I haven’t had a chance to explain to him why I subbed him. That’s only happened to me as a manager once before. (In response to a journalist’s question as to whether “home” meant London or Argentina”) There’s only three people in this room would have asked that question (Laughter).

The other time that happened? It was just after I joined West Ham. I fined the player a week’s wages because I felt it was disrespectful to me, my staff and the other players. I’ll have to listen to Carlitos’ explanation. I’m sure it’s just disappointment but that’s no excuse – he has an explanation to give to me on Monday morning. Who was the other player? I think I’ll keep that to myself.

Does Bobby’s lack of goals concern me? Yes. For all his work-rate and commitment, strikers live on goals. There was the move in the first half where he elected to pass and an in-form Bobby would have smashed that in.

Mascherano? Yes it’s difficult for him because he’s desperate to play. For all that’s been said, the two guys have had a first class attitude in training. I think our professionalism to them has also been first class I might add – both players and staff. Mascherano will be disappointed because he wants to play but Hayden Mullins was probably the pick of our players again today. He’s just signed a new contract and plays the same role. He just has a bit more physical power and experience than Mascherano at the moment. So he gets the nod.

An offer for Shaun Wright Phillips? That wasn’t actually true. I made an enquiry. Are they using us to set up an auction? I’m not going to comment on that. They announced that we’d made an enquiry – it was unusual for them to say that but that’s all I’m going to say on that.

The new chairman’s dancing technique? I didn’t see him dance to be honest! It was shocking was it!? Well I think the fans can see that there’s a genuine enthusiasm about him. I’m going to encourage that – I’m going to tell him to reach for the stars and to give me lots of money. Since he’s arrived all the talk has been about the January transfer window. It’s not about that. It’s about the player’s we’ve got. I hope the reporting doesn’t focus on Tevez leaving, or players that might come in. It was a gritty performance in a high pressure game today.
 

 norven munky said...
So I hafta say it would have been hard for Tevez to understand why he was substituted.

He's had his best game since coming to us, has a hand in the goal and get's substituted when we are 1-0 up. Pardew says it was a tactical substitution and I guess you can't argue that he managed to get em through to the final whistle with the 3 points in tact but I think it is entirely understandable Tevez was peeved.

By all accounts the fans booed the substitution too.

Given he was subbed by Marlon and Marlon didn't shake his hand on a previous substitution, I wonder if Carlitos shook Marlon's hand?

There was a SU goal disallowed in the 94th min too for a foul on Green and sounds like there wasn't much in it.
 

 Anonymous said...
West Ham are to open talks that could lead to them quitting Upton Park and moving into the new stadium being built for the 2012 Olympic Games in a deal that would result in football and athletics being staged there.

A running track? No thanks. So much for the days of the Chicken Run.
 

 whubris said...
Someone posted below that seating would cover the track on match days? Anyone read this?
 

 norven munky said...
while I had read something to that effect very early in the piece, there has been a lot of back peddling since then.

Apparently it is very clear that the IOC stipulated that there must a be an athletics facility as a legacy after the games. Official comments since then have said that if a football clucb is to move to the stadium they will have to :-

1) pay about 100 mill quid
2) be happy with a dual use facility
3) accept a severely reduced capacity as a result.

If the stick to these requirements it won't happen.

But perhaps they don't want to piss off the IOC before the games and will be singing a different tune afterwards.

I hope they hang tough and it will never happen.
 

 Anonymous said...
"Some form of retractable seating would be installed so that the track would be covered when matches were being played, as happens at the Stade de France in Paris when France play internationals there."
 

 whubris said...
I've never seen that sort of thing, I imagine the atmosphere would still be pretty good though?
 

 Anonymous said...
I don't know how the olympic stadium would work but the stade de france has 3 tiers. the bottom tier holds 25,000 and can be retracted under the middle tier. However I believe that it takes around a week to do.

If this happens then I'll totally reevaluate my opinion on moving there
 

 Anonymous said...
Ian 'This Man Is Paid To Talk' Wright's MOTD2 offering, transcribed verbatim:

"Well I think, definitely, in the second half they came out with a better attitude but I think I've seen Chelsea play a few times and they don't really play a lot more. Their tempo's not much more than they started there but they just didn't have the width. They still tried to play the ball to the strength but all the men are in that middle, so that's when they, that's where they're playing all the balls to. Now whether they're mental, I don't know what he means by that, whether they can, the intensity or what, even if they did start sharp, the men are still in the same places so they couldn't get the width. And that's what I couldn't understand."

Brown is still a bastard

Big Earners
News of Wayne Rooney's bumper £35m six-year-deal is bound to prompt renewed complaints from the Jumper For Goalposts brigade about the state of the game but what of Terence Brown? In becoming the former chairman of West Ham United last week, Brown reaped approximately £34m and a snazzy new title of non-executive director.

An understanding of the stock exchange will provide a direct explanation for why Brown has acquired his windfall but not a justification. The publicity-shy businessman was subject to a longstanding 'Brown out' campaign by disgruntled fans, although critics must tread warily after he successfully sued a supporters' pressure group for alledging finanical incompetence. It's unknown whether the funds garnered directly from Hammers fans in the out-of-court settlement was then donated to the club or not.

By any rational assessment, Rooney's weekly wage of £100,000 is offensive. But at least he produces and entertains. What tangible dividend did Brown produce for West Ham before he sold his shares? After almost ten years of complaints that he failed to put in what his club received from transfer sales, Brown still remains on the board despite, until recently, blocking the Magnusson takeover in favour of courting Kia Joorabchian.

Not that it matters a jot, it seems, to the West Ham faithful. Their heads turned by the promise of instant windfall, the dismal morality of their takeover tale has been shamefully ignored.

Eggert Magnusson
Let's hope first appearances are deceptive. An ostentatious celebration and the manipulation of a West Ham scarf-wearing toddler was the behaviour of a cynical politician rather than a benevolent chairman.

Some guff from the statement to the Stock Exchange.


WH Holding strongly believes that an integrated approach is required to build West Ham’s future
and will be looking to develop West Ham’s business both on and off the field, including
investment in the training ground and facilities (including the academy), stadium upgrades and
player acquisitions, all of which will provide West Ham with the opportunity to build upon its
existing strong foundations.

------------------------

WH Holding intends to continue to run West Ham as a football business, with operations
remaining at the current locations. WH Holding believes, however, that as part of its integrated
strategy going forward, there is scope to enhance current commercial operations.
WH Holding does not have any immediate intentions to dispose of or otherwise change the use of
any assets within the West Ham portfolio, although it would consider any potential opportunities if
and when they arise.
WH Holding will work with the executive management team of West Ham and expects that
existing members of senior management will continue to be involved in the ongoing business of
West Ham.
Following the Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects, Terry Brown has
agreed to step down from the Board of the holding company of West Ham although he will remain
a director and employee of the football club. Paul Aldridge will remain as Managing Director and
Nick Igoe will remain as Finance Director.
Upon the Offer becoming or being declared wholly unconditional, Eggert Magnusson will assume
the position of Chairman of the Board of West Ham. Thor Kristjansson and Gudmundur J
Oddsson will also be appointed to the Board of West Ham.
Following the Offer becoming or being declared wholly unconditional, Eggert Magnusson will
assume the position of Chairman of the Board of West Ham United Football Club and Terry
Brown will be appointed as non-executive Deputy Vice Chairman. Each of Paul Aldridge, Nick
Igoe and Scott Duxbury will remain as executive Directors of West Ham United Football Club.
Furthermore, upon the Offer becoming wholly unconditional, Thor Kristjansson, Gudmundur J
Oddsson and Sighvatur Bjarnason will be appointed to the Board of West Ham United Football
Club. Sighvatur Bjarnason is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of both Cimbric
Fiskekonserves A/S and Saltur Holding ehf.
In addition, Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson will assume the position of Honorary Life President of West
Ham United Football Club and, in recognition of his service to the Club, Terry Brown will be
appointed as Honorary Life Vice-President of West Ham United Football Club.
Following the Offer becoming or being declared wholly unconditional, Charles Warner, Martin
Cearns and Christopher Manhire have agreed to resign from the Boards of all West Ham Group
companies. In order to ensure that the traditions of the Club are preserved, Charles Warner and
Martin Cearns (whose families founded the Club) will become Associate Members of the Club
until their respective 75th birthdays.
The Board of WH Holding has given assurances to the Board of West Ham that, on the Offer
becoming or being declared wholly unconditional, the existing employment rights of all
management and employees of the West Ham Group will be honoured and pensions obligations
complied with.
WH Holding does not have any current plans which would impact the existing arrangements with
employees. Upon the Offer becoming wholly unconditional there will be a full strategic review
before there is any substantive change in Club strategy.

------------------------

WH Holding, a company incorporated in England and Wales, was incorporated on 9 November
2006 exclusively for the purpose of making the Offer. Since its incorporation WH Holding has not
traded.
The current directors of WH Holding are Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson, Eggert Magnusson, Thor
Kristjansson and Gudmundur J Oddsson.
Eggert Magnusson, 59, is a former owner and chief executive of an import/export and bread and
biscuit manufacturing company. He has been president of the Football Association of Iceland

member of the Licensed Match Agents panel (1992-94), the Fair Play Committee (1994-96) and
the Club Competitions Committee (1996-2002). He has also been a member of a number of
FIFA committees. Mr Magnusson also serves as a board member of Straumur-Burdaras, an
Icelandic investment bank, as well as of the logistics firm, Avion Group hf. Both Straumur-
Burdaras and Avion Group hf. are listed on the Iceland Stock Exchange.
Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson is an international investor with interests in various sectors including
financial services, international transportation, seafood processing and sales, real estate and
publishing. Mr Gudmundsson is the Chairman of the non-executive board of Landsbanki, a
leading Icelandic bank with operations in 12 countries. Since Mr. Gudmundsson became
Chairman of Landsbanki in 2003, the bank has taken a lead in sponsoring sport in Iceland,
particularly football, where it has focused on the development of young players.
Mr Gudmundsson's principal investments are in three holding companies: Samson
eignarhaldsfelag ehf., Samson Global Holding and Hansa ehf.
Samson eignarhaldsfelag ehf. and Samson Global Holding are owned by Mr Bjorgolfur
Gudmundsson, together with his son Mr Bjorgolfur Thor Bjorgolfsson, who is also his business
partner. Samson eignarhaldsfelag ehf. is a shareholder in Landsbanki, holding over 40 per cent.
of the issued share capital. Samson Global Holding is a shareholder in Straumur-Burdaras,
holding just over 30 per cent. of the issued share capital.
Hansa ehf. is wholly owned by Mr Gudmundsson and is a 28.5 per cent. shareholder in the
unlisted Icelandic investment company Fjarfestingarfelagid Grettir hf. Through the investment
company Opera fjarfestingar ehf. Mr Gudmundsson indirectly owns a further 10.3 per cent. of
Fjarfestingarfelagid Grettir hf. Fjarfestingarfelagid Grettir hf. owns 34.4 per cent. of the issued
share capital in Avion Group hf., a transportation company listed on the Iceland Stock Exchange
and a 26.4 per cent. holding in Icelandic Group hf., the international seafood processing and
sales company, which is also listed on the Iceland Stock Exchange.
Thor Kristjansson is a member of the board of Landsbanki.
Gudmundur J Oddsson is a partner at Logos legal services, an Icelandic law firm, and is head of
the firm’s London office.

On 10 October 2006, West Ham announced its results for the year to 31 May 2006. Revenue for
the year was £60.1m (2005: £31.8m), positively impacted, most notably, by media revenue.

ordinary activities before tax for the year was £6.0m (2005: loss of £5.1m). As at 31 May 2006,
West Ham had net bank borrowings of £22.5m, a reduction of almost 50 per cent. on the figure of
£44.1m at 31 May 2003 when the club was relegated from the FA Premier League.

Maybe we should comment on the first half and you do the second as we were turfed out of a gold coast pub at half time when they closed and only managed to make it to the casino in time to see the final 10 minutes LOL!
 

 beggers said...
Thought we were worth a point. Matched them all over the park IMO.

Tevez looked lively as. Can't fault his effort, he fought for everything. He's WEST HAM that boy.

I was up the Pig and Whistle, where were you Dave?
 

 Dave said...
We were down the gold coast beggers. It was my missus' 30th. Tony, Rick & I were watching in the Lansdowne Road and were trufed out at half time then went to the Casino. We tried to get in touch with you and were asking Graham if he had your mobile number.
 

 beggers said...
Never mind mate,I'll send you my mobile number and home email for next time. How's the pubs form chucking you out FFS!

MASSIVE game this weekend lads. I reckon this will be a pivotal game in our season. I know it's stating the obvious but we have to win.

Off to the ashses on Saturday so I suspect I'll be shot to pieces by the time the game starts. Is it on fox?
 

 whubris said...
LOL @ Dave.. so give us a first half report! Happy birthday to J as well.

Looks like a right royal FUBAR on Saturday then. I got your email address Beggers and tried to text it to Tony when he asked for it but I noticed this morning that it hadn't actually been sent.

I'm hoping for a win this weekend with Tevez scoring.

Kiraly makes loan move to Hammers

Kiraly joined Palace in 2004
Crystal Palace keeper Gabor Kiraly has joined West Ham United on an emergency two-week loan.

The Hammers have moved for the 30-year-old Hungarian international and could name him on the bench when they play Chelsea on Saturday.

The deal runs until 3 December but the Hammers can extend the loan.

Kiraly signed for Palace in August 2004 from German club Hertha Berlin and has made 97 appearances for the Eagles since then.

Palace signed Iain Turner for an initial month loan from Everton on Thursday and he is expected to replace Kiraly for their home game with Barnsley this weekend.

I agree, Mark is a player I like alot at certain hard times in the championship he was our best player. he needs to improve alot to become a regular in the side but to be hnest I haven't really seen him properly for a year or so so maybe he has improved alot.
 

 whubris said...
This is a big call, but I reckon Noble has the potential to be the best centre mid in the world. He has so much going for him - a lot like Gerrard. I just hope he realises that potential.
 

 Dave said...
Big call? That's a huge call mate! LOL :-)

You're right though he does have a lot of potential but I can't understand why Pards has gone cold on him - he couldn't stop raving about him when he took over as manager.
 

 beggers said...
We're all in agreement. I too think Noble has heaps of potential. I recall him smashing Divids against Spuds last season and he really took that game by the scruff of the neck. I hope he does well. It also helps that he's WEST HAM through and through.

whubris, humungous call! Love your confidence mate.
 

 whubris said...
I only hope I'm right! It does help a lot that he's an Academy graduate but besides all the sentimental guff he really is a bloody good player. A couple of seasons ago I thought he'd be a regular in the side by now. He just looked shit hot. I don't know what's happened. I hope he comes into form again.

Thanks for that memory Beggers. Noble was great that day. May there be many more yet.

Hopefully it will be like signing a new player when he comes back. If we can get back on track this week, then he should help us to build on a position of strength. Psychologically, he shouldn’t be affected by the poor start to the season either.

Things have been going really well, I have finished my time up at Total Fitness in Manchester. It was a fantastic place and the techniques they used there were brilliant, but there's only so much work you can do in the water. Now I need to do lots of work in the gym. It was great to be up in Manchester, as I got to see friends and family but it was hard at times being away from my girlfriend.

As for my ankle, it's coming on in leaps and bounds. I am fully weight-bearing on it and I'm looking at being able to run again in two weeks time. I won't be out running with the lads - that's still a long way off - but I will be building myself up bit-by-bit in the gym and setting myself targets to reach along the way.

I still don’t have a date for coming back; I don’t want to get too ahead of myself. It's the smaller goals that I am focussing on reaching at the moment, like being able to run again. However having my independence back is really important, little things like having a shower and stuff- you take it all for granted until it becomes difficult, so it's great to be able to do everything for myself again.

I am spending most of my time back in the club gym now. I tend to focus on training different areas of my body on different days; abdominal workout one day, weights the next, etc. There has been a bit of healthy competition involved in it too, the physio is having a race with me to see who can get the fittest – he wants to lose a bit of weight and he's trying to beat me. That's nice and it keeps the mood light and the spirits high.

In fact, the mood around the whole club is a bit lighter now after the team's two important wins against Blackburn and Arsenal. In terms of confidence they were massive games and I hope that's the turnaround point of our season. It's a shame we lost out to Boro at the weekend, but there are certainly a lot more smiles around the place.

Critics might make something of the fact that Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano weren’t involved in both of those wins, but in my opinion they still have a lot to offer this club. It can be hard enough for English players joining a new team, but when you are from a different country there is so much to adjust to. The fact that they both play for the Argentinian national team speaks volumes about how good they are.

After we played Arsenal, so much was made about what happened between Alan Pardew and Arsene Wenger. Personally, I think it was really over exaggerated and wasn’t that bad at all. In fact, it's nice to see such an expression of passion. Especially from someone like Mr Wenger who is normally quite reserved, it just showed how much the game meant to both of them.

It has been good to see my old Norwich team-mate Robert Green get his place back in the side. He was out for quite a long time and he suffered a terrible injury to his groin. He's not the sort of guy to offer you advice when you're injured though; he takes the mickey out of you instead! He's had a laugh and a joke with me since I've been injured and I like that, it keeps your spirits up. I'm sure he'll be looking to get selected for the England team in the near future and I'm sure he'll pull that jersey on again.

You can keep checking back to see how I'm doing if you like, I'll be keeping you up to date with all my progress and news right here on Icons.com.

Can't return quick enough IMO. I reckon Tevez and Ashton would work well?

Ashton and anyone mate! But yes, Deano and Tevez would work well, as would Deano and Marlon. We REALLY need that option.

Say, Beggers - send me an email, I've lost your address.

At least we've got some easy pts coming our way this weekend!!!

If you don't want to leave your email here then email me @ brisbanehammers@hotmail.com and I'll pass it onto him.

 beggers said...
Davieboy, wedding anniversary that night mate so we'll be out and it's probably poor form to'love and leave' shall we say.

Jimmyp, most of the pubs down here will show the game but with the sound down and dance music on at ear shattering volumes. So what's the point. Yet to find a venue that is 'strictly football'. Heard a whisper of a sports bar in Surfers which might be the go, but I need to check it out. Stay tuned. If I was you I'd consider the drive up to Brissie, the lads up there know how to support the club.

Norvern, I should have contacted that mob about getting the game shown on the big screen in Surfers? If you guys are interested maybe we could look at it down the track? Be good on a summers night.

I know I keep saying this but I'd love to see him on the wing some time.

 Dave said...
London - what's your source for Ashton?
 

 Dave said...
Hmmm - probably not that reliable. Original time frame was mid November but since then I had heard it would be more like xmas.

Danger game against Boro coming up. How often have we been let down against inferior opposition in the past.Mark my words this is Boro's "Blackburn game".They will probably throw everything at us at home and are desparate for a win.

I know it's hard but we have to forget about the Arsenal game and the tactics because they are unlikely to work against Boro.Anyone know if Anton will be fit for Saturday? If not McCartney looks more than capable in central defence.I have queries over the fitness of Bowyer,Yossi and Etherington.Bowyer looked knackered after 60 minutes while the other two did not look like they had much left in the tank at the end of the Arsenal game.

I would go 4-5-1 again but with some personnel changes.
Green
Spector Gabbidon Anton/McCartney Konch
Marlon NRC Mullins Etherington
Bowyer
Zamora

Subs Carroll Daily Teddy Yossi Tevez

You'll get sick of my play "Marlon on the right" mantra but I think it might work against Boro.Firstly, Bobby looked good by himself up front and should be given another similar role.Pards must then have the guts to sub him again at 60 minutes if we are level or behind.I'd imagine that Dowling on the left would be Boro's main avenue to attack.Marlon's pace and power tracking back to help Spector might frustrate Boro.Let Bowyer play behind Zamora and bring Yossi's fresh legs on after 60 minutes.

I think it's great to have so many options at the moment and it looks like the confidence is back and the palyers are "happy" again.I'd take a point at Boro as we have a poor record there.
 

 Anonymous said...
I understand your reasoning behind their "Blackburn game”, but we’re not out of the woods yet. Surely the desire to put some distance between us and Boro before we play Chelsea, should be motivation enough.

I like your team there MH. Zamora/Bowyer can then come off for Teddy/Yossi or Yossi/Tevez (depending how the game is going) with Marlon pushed up front.

On the one hand, you have Arsene Wenger, with 3 titles and 4 fa cups, 2 doubles in 1998 and 2002 and a whole season unbeaten, which something chlesea, despite their millions have yet to do. You have also won 2 trophies in japan, and the french title with monaco. You have turned unknowns into world beaters, spent far less than youre rivals yet still beat them, and was single handedly repsonsible for moving a 120 year old institution into a bigger and better home.

On the other you are Pardew. A mediocre player in your day, and whose greatest managerial acheivement thus far has been to scrape a play off and lose the fa cup final. You were given 2 world class players yet still cannot integrate them into youre team, crashed humiliatingly in the uefa and league cups and had just lost 8 on the bounce.

Arsene has seen us denied a clear penalty, and this witless cunt pumps his fists in his direction. Everyone says that Arsene was classless but what is more classless than gloating at the bad luck of a fellow member of the manager's union? Arsene did not want to shake his hands with a racist fuckwit, and I am totally behind him.

Anon - he was well regarded as a youth prospect but never made the first team. He was just one of many that seemed to be doing well but never really made the grade. Matt Holland was the same and he went and made a name for himself elsewhere. Not every youngster gets the opportunity they deserve unfortunately due to circumstances not under their control.

Your not fat Eion, just cuddly! You coped heaps of abuse which is a bugger but coming on here and giving our manager a spray, what did you expect.

We're not obsessed with you mate but on this site we normally just talk football and your original comment was an insult so we reacted accordingly.

Not cool about the relegation comment but probably not unwarranted considering. We of course hope you're wrong but who knows? Maybe we can help get you into the Champions league again?

Shouldn't worry about anyone visiting your blog, I for one have forgotten about it already. Enjoy the season.

WEST HAM TILL I DIE
 

 Dave said...
I've just posted this on Eoin's site so we'll let it lie now.

The irony of your tape delayed comment is we get more football out here than you could imagine back home in England - I've only missed coverage of one game this season lol :-)

Anyway Eoin I'm just writing to call a truce and say thanks for the laughs. Next time you come over for a comment try and be a little more friendly and you never know you may get a nice reaction.

I certainly have nothing against Arsenal as a London side (I used to live in Holloway) - my gripe is with Spurs and Chelsea ;-) I also have respect for Arsene and his acheivements @ Arsenal as you should have for Pardew who has guided a debt ridden club from the depths of dispair to a top half finish in the Premier League and a cup final.

If you want to laugh at a big team currently struggling who might get relegated then look no further than our old mate Roeder up at Newcastle - now they are fucked! LOL ;-)

well done lads... your lot did indeed get us into the CL and beat the scum doing so... altho I thought Teddy was slightly dubious in that match... so we're all cool. I also appreciate the football you play and respect that you came out to play last week rather than defend.

But, what Pardew did WAS well out of order as Gilberto notes here http://www.arsenal-mania.com/news/3103209/Gilberto-We-were-worried-for-Wenger.html

What you didnt see on Sky, gents, was the fact that Pardew ran over to OUR bench.

But lets let bygones be bygones. Pardew had someone shake his hand yesterday... although Southgate was smiling slightly more than him.

Enjoy the season lads. I reckon you wont get relegated... again.

Ten Things You Shouldn't Do Against Arsenal...
1) Score.
2) Celebrate.
3) Defend.
4) Tackle.
5) Ask a random member of the Gunners' first-team squad whether they prefer the new red British passport to the Old Blue.
6) Stand near Jens Lehmann.
7) Order pizza.
8) Worry about them scoring from a corner.
9) Err...
10) That's it.


The Question All Historians Are Asking
Was Arsene Wenger's angry reaction to Alan Pardew jumping into his technical area the first occasion in the past 100 years that a Frenchman has stood his ground in the face of an invasion?

Pards is a prick! Sorry eion, you can put any spin on it you like mate but your manager blew it as did some of your players. They looked like spoilt kids out there, pushing and shoving, moaning, not shaking hands, spraying water bottles, blah, blah, blah. Sometimes even Le Arse lose pal, but when you lose do it with a little humility and some dignity, your lot were a disgrace!

Pardews been very gracious in his apology, of which I for one didn't think was warranted, but the mans class. Pards even tried to catch up with Arsene after the match but your bloke wasn't having any of it. Arsene didn't even hang around to speak to the media. Sportmaship mate, some of your lots never heard of it?

You are right about one thing though, you will be seeing us again and we're looking forward to it.
 

 whubris said...
Hey, we got four points from the Arse last season and we're already well on the way to doing it again. Or will it be six this time?

The thing I hate most about Arsenal is how shitty they get when they lose, and when decisions go against them. When Arsenal lose, they blame everyone else.

Actually I don't think Pardew should have rubbed it in, but he admitted fault immediately and offered an apology by way of handshake and then publicly, and offered the chance to make a private apology. What more could you ask?
 

 Dave said...
HAHAHAHAHAHA LMAO @ Eoin! Mate obvious you'd support your manager as you are just as gracious in defeat as he! Can't wait to play you again - in fact can we play you every week - hahahahaha!! We've done you in the last 2 games now - there's only one prick I see here and it ain't Pardew :-) PMSL!

Watch this footage and tell me where the fist pumping inside the Arsenal technical area inches from Wenger's face is?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0SGosF-Hhg

Kevin Keen, Lee Bowyer & Ludo must have been in the Arsenal area with him cause they are right there beside him when he is pumping his fist and celebrating.


Provacative handshake? You're avin a larf mate.

Sour grapes from a pair of pillocks - you and Wenger.

Even if you do us over next time when your full complement of foreign multi millionaires are available you'll still be behind in the 2 year ledger.

Norven - I think he's referring to our French comments about Wenger in this thread. Personally I would have thought any half arsed cunt with the mental age of a 5 year old could work out the difference between racism and having a laugh about the French (beleive me they do it with us - my mum lives there I've seen it). Obviously Eoin is struggling with this differentiation so we should make some allowances.

Pardews no rascist mate, that's a ridiculous statment to make.

Arsene's a successful manager, no doubt about it, but the incident in question has nothing to do with his past history. He blew it, plain and simple, he was ungracious and deserves to be ridiculed. He lost his cool as did a couple of your players. He had the game taken away from him in the last minute by a side that is struggling, is considered an arch rival and it was definately a game he thought he would win. To be honest I'd be fucked off if it happened to me but I'd like to think I'd take it on the chin with some honour and dignity. He has done this before and it's not good enough, sorry mate but it's not, provocation or not.

I still don't think Pards did anything wrong, you obviously disagree and we could go around in circles forever with neither of us giving an inch so I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

But, what Pardew did WAS well out of order as Gilberto notes here http://www.arsenal-mania.com/news/3103209/Gilberto-We-were-worried-for-Wenger.html

What you didnt see on Sky, gents, was the fact that Pardew ran over to OUR bench.

But lets let bygones be bygones. Pardew had someone shake his hand yesterday... although Southgate was smiling slightly more than him.

Enjoy the season lads. I reckon you wont get relegated... again.

LOL..I raved about his tactics and you bagged em :)

You don't have to rip a team apart and look like Brazil for your tactics to be successful.

We pretty much nullified one of the most talented teams in the league who are capable of blowing you away in the twinkling of an eye.

And for mine Bobby was sharp and everywhere..exactly the job Pardew would have asked him to carry out.

Humble pie never tasted so good :)

I'm with Tony - tactics spot on! Everything went to plan today (except Anton's injury) - basically we frustrated them then hit em!

Bobby was great (or should I say fab?? ;-)) up front on his own tracking back into midfield helping when needed.

YES! We can laugh at Wenger's whinging all week now too. Don't you just love it?

Boro are in trouble and we’re on the way back. A win next week and people can talk about Stuart Pearce and Gareth Southgate’s jobs instead.

Having slept on it, I think I might be with you guys re: tactics - it did occur to me last night that it was Pardew's plan all along to do exactly what he did. So on reflection, I'll go along with popular opinion for once! :-)

I couldn't believe how much ground Z-man covered today. Whether you buy into the tactics or not, he was one of our key figures in the match.

But anyway - happy days are here again! Time for a new poll...

Nothing wrong with the tactics lads, 5 across the middle, battle for everything and never let them get any real rytham going. Try and catch them on the break and stay tight at the back. Le Arse had fuck all real chances as a result. Awesome. Then to top it off Pards has the balls to go for the win reverting to 4-4-2. Check mate Arsene.

I think Bowyer was subbed cause he was knackered..he certainly looked it coming off.

What a great second effort from Matty Etherington afetr he was tackled.Inspirational stuff.

10 out 10 for Bobby Zamora. I am not his greatest fan but credit where credit is due.

I thought the midfield all did their bit when necessary with no one really standing out.

Gabbidon's best game for the year. Hopefully his confidence is now fully restored after some early game blunders.

Roy Carroll will need to buy a nice warm cushion to keep his butt warm during the winter sitting on the sideline.How much better do we look with Green in goal!

Marlon took the goal very well.

So what have we learnt after this weekend?
1.We are not going to be relegated.
2.We are not moving to the Olympic stadium after 2012.
3.The team have their mojo back.
4.Pardew remembers how to manage.
5.The French haven't changed.
6.Roeder is still a shit manager and
7.I hate going to work on Monday mornings after no sleep!

What abou the Boro match? We're getting our confidence back and they're on the slide.

Reading have Spurs at home and Blackburn have ManU at home. We could be as high as 12th next week.

"It was a shame, it was a tense game...I was celebrating the goal, basically, that was all and Arsene had a problem with that, probably rightly," Pardew told Sky Sports.

"It was nothing personal. There was nothing said. He's a top guy, I really respect him...nothing changes my opinion on that. I will apologise to him again if I need to, I was celebrating a goal, I thought I was entitled to do that.

Uptight foriegn managers. Celebrate all night, Pards.
