Wolves, Drinking and The Gunners Pub

Bonjour a tous les gens lovely vous - Roi Henri le 12e a returnes!!!!!

Is there really any other picture????

Subject to insurance deals etc etc - I'm sure knowing how tight Wenger is he will have gone to Go Compare and looked at 3rd party fire and theft and there won't be enough cover at all! ( bit like the squad in certain positions!!)

If all the T's are crossed and I's dotted i can't see it doing much harm BUT its a bit like the little Dutch boy sticking his finger in the hole in the dam - We need a long term solution to our lack of firepower up front - simples ( And that Meerkat can do one and sharpish - old Arshavin). I did mention a couple of weeks ago that if he signed it looks like he would make his debut against Leeds in the Fa Cup on the 9th Jan 2012 - Wenger has come out and said that Henry is 2 weeks away from full fitness - so if he's already been training down at London Colney then that should be about right. Just a shame game is on a Monday night - Fa Cup should be Saturdays or at worst a Sunday - always nice to see 9000 Leeds fans on a weekend round London!!!!

Onto other news - bit of a mixed up blog ( bit self indulgent as well - apologies)  as Christmas and all that has meant days drinking, eating, farting, sleeping and snoring - and that's just the Mrs - so haven't felt the urge to get on the old typewriter but I'm here at 5am on the day of the QPR game.

Wolves and the pre match stuff

Looking back to the Wolves game and the pre match entertainment - rather than The Eaglet, members of the Eaglet Arsenal Supporters Club ( albeit short in numbers - lots of thumbs on foreheads methinks!! you know who you are)  made the short trip up the Blackstock Road on the 27th, with a couple of friends ( Will and Stacey)  for a pre match pint or two at The Gunners Pub (Link) - had always been planned to meet the founder of the newly formed Texas West Arsenal Team Supporters club ( or  T.W.A.T. S.c for short). Gabby (that's a Mr even though he has a girls name) and his stunning assistant Audrey had flown all the way from the States and were old friends



T.W.A.T.S.c (Gabby left of big ginger bloke, Audrey 1st right of big ginger bloke)

The Away Boyz were playing so the Americans were introduced to our cultured taste in modern music, as well as copious amounts of alcohol - Away Boyz, alcohol, smoking, swearing - just all rolls into one and seems to go hand in hand. Got in the Pub for 12  and began more bloody festivities. Pub sooned filled up and nice to see some old faces and a few fellas from The Eaglet and of course big Nate - lovely man who insist on buying everyone Jager bombs - most people shake hands when meeting - not Nate - its a Jager Bomb!!!!! More people showed up - Puggy, Kym ( yep another bloke with a girls name) young Dan Bailey and a big ginger bloke ( another Dan but a top fella - shared a single bed with him at 98 world cup in Marseille - won't go into that!!)

Chaps singing and Al Murray

With the alcohol flowing  and the Away Boyz in full voice, the atmosphere was beginning to build nicely for the game - with the emphasis on the need to take all 3 points - especially with all but Man Utd drawing.

Isn't it great how beer can make everything rosy and that Wolves would be there for the taking and 3 points would be ours!!! Those that know me know that no amount of alcohol will ever make a game appear easy - i am Mr Pessimistic, from 23 Pessimistic Street,  St Pessimistic, Pessimisticshire.

So at 2.55pm we left the pub to make the short journey to The Emirates and our seats  - block 6 , 2 rows behind the away dug out.

Away Fans

Got to be honest Wolves - you didn't take your full allocation - i know its Christmas and all that, but that bloke Aslef kindly put the game back a day to give you a day to recover from all your excessive eating etc so the least you could do was fill your end!!! Not great vocal support either - ( but then neither were we!!)


The Game

We started brightly, from what i could see though my beer goggles and on the 8th minute, great ball from Benayoun put Gervinhohoho through and we all waited for him to drill the ball into the keeper, but no - took it round the keeper and slotted it coolly home. With a few changes to the line up, it appeared that we became majorly complacent and it became too easy. A frustrating and annoying habit that has affected us over the years - a soft side to us - and we sort of sat back.




too much xmas pud gervinhohoho


Have to say it again - but we need to build up the atmosphere in that place - Wolves were flat, we were flat - we are not the worlds greatest team that the world has ever seen - change the record.

And so it proved with a miss placed clearance from  Djourou, a miss placed shot from Hunt and a header from Fletcher drew the teams level - when was the last time we saw a well worked goal from the opposition??

I'm not going to go on about the 2nd half - but we could still be out their now and wouldn't have scored!! Substitutions were strange to say the least - Arshavin especially - as I'm bored of saying it now - he doesn't want to be there - or he does a bloody good impression of it - where was the Ox again??

Missed chances, great goal keeping and heroic defending - and all i can say is fair play to Wolves - came for a point and got one - and down to 10 men - not pretty - which brings me on to this chap

Mick                                       Sam

Where we sit - the away dug out can get some stick - won't mention names but it can be quite amusing - but it always has a habit of slapping you back in the face - but to be fair to the bloke from Sesame Street he took it well and even responded with a blown kiss to the chief perpetrator of the banter ( he sits next to me!!) and a " well he slept with your mrs" and a wink when the rather fat and bald kit man was getting some good natured abuse BUT BUT BUT Mick you ruined it all with that EMBARRASSING press conference this week  when you "presented" a whinge about not getting the red card rescinded - bore off you big nosed bore - EMBARRASSING - you got your well earned point - end of!!!

Right mes amis - i have the attention span of a gnat - so im off for a cup of tea - its now 06.58am - quick run, shower, shave and you know what - on the train and in the pub for 12pm  for the QPR game today - A MUST WIN GAME AGAIN and the return of the most obnoxious man in football Joey Deacon Barton

Come and join the Eaglet Arsenal Supporters Club at the  The Eaglet Pub directions - i believe a real big nose eaglet might be joining us today - well its a Parratt - Jake. We will be sat in the corner by the ladies toilets as usual!!!

 Up the Arse and a Happy New Year

Transfer Rumours, Injuries and Greedy Bastards

Hello All,

Well its mid week and those not going to Man $ity, it going to seem like a bloody long time to the next game - and it could be longer for some now those poor, hard done by tube drivers have decided to come out their cosy automated cab and go on strike - you'd never think the country needs to get back on its feet would you - £42k a year, 43 days holiday and you want MORE - suppose it is the season of scrooge - so suppose all you drivers are called Oliver.

Forgive me if I'm wrong but are you dodging bullets from some goat shagging shepherd in the mountains of Afghanistan - or are you pushing some buttons like  Johnny from Total Recall - Keep on striking and it will all be automated chaps!!



Dumb ass future tube drivers??





My flexible mrs
(available for halloween)


Rant over - well its mid week and feels strange with no mid week game and no internationals and with mrs talkinoutmyarse doing her keep fit , rumba or zumba, it gives me a bit of free time to look at all the comings and goings and all the crap being spoken about concerning transfers. Also to have a little look back at the Oil Firm Game on Monday between two clubs with huge histories!!!

What a classless, shameless bunch of mercenaries - both the fans and the players!!!

"Where were you when you were sh#t, where were you when you were sh#t" - i was struggling to work out who was singing it to who. Cashly, 10 men 9 men 8 men 7 men 6 men 5 men 4 men 3 men 2 men 1, 1 man and his mobile phone buzz buzz..........went to bed with Cashly mouthing off in the tunnel after the game about channel 5!!

That's the difference Mr Cole - we beat you, didn't rub it in your face, celebrated with the fans and moved on!! You always take it one step too far - disappointed with those Arsenal fans on the social sites agreeing and supporting his boast. Suppose he got a buzz out of it!!! or was that the phone allegedly up his hows your father!!

As for the game itself, i for one was hoping before the game for a Man $ity win. Realistically we are not going to win the league - even if Mr RVP keeps himself fit for the whole season and i could see Man $ity getting beaten at some stage of the season - so all this Invincbles baloney didn't wash with me!!
Again, after the game, the joy that Man $ity had lost was - well, lost on me - Chelsea get back into top 4, we drop out and its as if we've won the bloody game by Man $ity losing the very very slim chance of  becoming The Invincibles.

Come on Arsenal fans - be bloody realistic - our goal is the top 4 - if at the end of the season we miss out to Chelsea for the top 4 birth, are we all  going  to look back and go " Thank God Chelsea beat em, it doesn't matter, at least it  preserved our Invincible season!!!""  Sorry - i thinks that is the worse case of short sightedness I've ever seen or is it??

Harry, glasses for your tax forms?

Talking of which, do i need to say anymore about the comings and goings of the game between Stoke RFC and Tottenumb - all i can say is " Arise Sir Chris Foy" or is that Hoy??? Bless em all - fair to say he had a bit of a stinker but not as bad as all the Spurs fans abusing our Olympic Gold Cycling Medallist - Hoy? Foy? Easy mistake!!!!

We've all been there before so I'll leave it at that - they will be there or there abouts - and that's a worry!!




Transfer News

Oh come on - its Arsenal, it's Arsene Wenger and we got 5 new signings in January , Wilshere, Sagna, Diaby ( January 2014), Jenkinson and Santos!!!

All this talk about Goetze, Poldolski, Mickey Hazard or whatever his name is - is just all talk - best thing to do is wait and see - there's even been talk amongst Arsenal Fans of Torres!!! 





Sturridge and Torres



Do you really think Chelsea would sell Torres to Arsenal for £20 million??? I for one would have him despite his complete deterioration in form - and if one man could kick start again it could be Mr W but it won't happen - we will all have to wait and see - and wrap RVP in bubble wrap!! On another note, we should have gone for Sturridge a year or so ago - he would have some i reckon especially chatting to him at Bolton last year - or maybe i was that drunk he actually said he loved Mrs talkinoutmyarse or her Arse - or it may have been he loved the Arsenal!!

Injury News

Again if all the rumours are to be believed, Gibbs is back for 28th December, Jenkinson and Sagna new year and Wilshere end of January - lets hope they are all true - yes we do have a shocking injury list but check out Manure's - my heart bleeds!!

Diaby will fart between now and his return and sustain a double fracture of his femur.

Santos's landed awkwardly - but doesn't help with 16 stone behind it and will be out for 3 months - i personally like him and i think he played against Olympiakos because he insisted to continue his push for fitness - to be fair it could have happened against Everton - it just leaves us up a shitty creek without a certain instrument.

Any way lets all get behind the Arse on Sunday - (if she comes back all sweaty tonight from zumba, i won't be getting behind hers!!) and lets hope for 3 points. I think it will be a weekend where the majority of the country will be rooting for an Arsenal win!! On that note

Lets all see you down The Eaglet Pub Boxing Day and New Years Day

Up The Arse
