Radio Ga-Ga
Feb 26th, 2008 by 'holic
‘Hello Dad, how are you?’
‘Alright son, I’m glad you phoned, I can turn this radio off now.’
‘Don’t let me interrupt anything. What are you listening to?’
‘These clowns have been discussing Saturday again. And Green, that man just insults the intelligence of everybody listening. It’s all Wenger’s fault apparently. Hard to believe they sectioned Gazza and left that bloody idiot on the radio!”
‘You don’t have to tell me Dad. We pay ever greater sums to fund the Beeb and the standard of journalism on there now has descended to the lowest common denominator. You would have thought they would realise they are driving people away. Don’t listen to Talk Sport, they are even worse. Anyway, I’ve had three days of that now. What did you think of Theo’s goals?’
‘Finished well, the boy, didn’t he? We will need him you know. Adebayor and Bendtner can’t play together. Nothing to do with all that nonsense about not getting on. They are just too similar. So if van Persie doesn’t get back soon we will have to give Theo some starts up front.’
‘Could be the making of him. Not too much will be expected of him as he is still learning the role. If he is struggling in some games Bendtner is fine as an impact substitute, or we can bring on an extra midfielder and push Hleb in just behind the front man where he looked so good earlier in the season.’
‘Do you reckon that’s good enough to win the title then son?’
‘You know, after Saturday, I think it just might be, Dad, it just might be.’

Radio jocks may be trying to shock to win paying listeners, the big hacks are telling it like it is. Something needs to be done about the scum.
back from the call-up to the reserves, ‘holic. how you doing?
I couldn’t even read the papers nor arsenal blogs after saturday till today, ‘holic. Still alot of pain stuck in my conscience. Quite rightly so. Hopefully Walcott will do the deed.
‘You know, after Saturday, I think it just might be, Dad, it just might be.’
I can’t agree more.
good link, Y.N.M.F.
No doubt that we will win any games we should win,for arsenal,for fans,as well as edurado!!No doubt!yes,we are lack of strikers,but arsene will sort it out,ade ,bent and theo will make up the the problem,well don t forget super Rvp!!heads up gunners!!
i’m sick of hearing this argument now, let taylor play his game, eduardo will be back, let’s kill wenger for he is the scourge of the planet and the english game, gallas should be shot for being a disgrace and adebayor is a greedy cnut…….
maybe the arsenal captain and manager do have to realise that every reaction will be a caption competition for the british press, for the good of the team they need to shut up, keep their heads down (they have done tbf) and bring the focus back to the football, i hate to say it but it’s what fergie would do.
Taylor, never mind son, just watch where you leave your foot next time, the player you injure might be a little more popular and the press will come after you for sure.
Eduardo, your name on the back of my shirt is guaranteed.

any of you gooners care to comment on this tackle? i dont seem to remember such condemnation of your starlet for this pre-meditated attempted assault.
and before any of you jump up and downshouting “but he didnt touch him” that’s not the point, the intent was there from henry, unlike from martin taylor. henry runs from20 yards away and jumps double footed about 3 feet in the air and attempts to land on the guy’s legs. martin taylor was at a standstill and stuck a leg out with horrific consequences.
it’s people like your garlic-eating, beret-wearing, surrender monkey of a manager who have whipped the croats into a frenzy, thus meaning that blues have had to employ extra security at their training ground.
No prat, it may have escaped your attention but this whole furore was sparked by the leg shattering challenge of your good oldfashioned ‘don’t like it up ’em’ donkey.
And if you read any of the Arsenal blogs last week you would have seen the Arsenal player who was sent off last week ripped to bits by these guys.
You and the other apologists make me sick.
a bad tackle is a bad tackle, not speaking on behalf of anyone else other than myself here but henry and bergkamp (for his infamous justice tackles) aren’t wanted, liked or applauded. Cut the cliche’s of the french out mate, does nothing for your argument and will only serve to alienate you and your team on here.
does reminding us that in the past we’ve had bad tacklers help either taylor or eduardo? or are you simply happy to wallow in your belief that we are all scum and deserve to die? get a grip, get a life and move on……
“6You Need More Foreigners
No prat, it may have escaped your attention but this whole furore was sparked by the leg shattering challenge of your good oldfashioned ‘don’t like it up ‘em’ donkey.”
don’t like it up ’em??? what planet are you on? if you notice we actually conceeded fewer fouls than arsenal on saturday. so much for putting it up you. martin taylor in the 3 yearsat centre half for blueshas been booked a grand total of about 10 times. he hadnt been booked at all this season and for a centre half in the modern game that is astounding.
“And if you read any of the Arsenal blogs last week you would have seen the Arsenal player who was sent off last week ripped to bits by these guys.”
and what has that got to do with you north lahndahn lot throwing stones around in your glass house? take a look at henry’sattempt at a tackle and explain how taylor’s genuine attempt to win the ball is worse than that double-footed leap from 6 foot away?
a_n_e….you really are becoming ignore material very fast. Drop it now mate, you’ll get no satisfaction here.
it’s not about satisfaction at all dino. it’s about you lot having double standards that make you a laughing stock amongst other team’s fans.
you crucify martin taylor for a tackle yet wont comment on a worse (IMO) attempt by henry (not you personally dino as yuo seem to be one of the few who have a balanced view)
your manager never sees a thing in a game if it’s your player, then immediately asks for ours to be banned for life.
he moans about ‘kicking arsenal off the pitch’ when you actually conceeded more fouls than us in the game etc.
he supports oneof his own players deliberately kicking an opposition player for having the gall to juggle the ball.
wenger is a wonderful manager, and arsenal play wonderful football. but all of that does is leave a nasty taste when he shows a complete lack of dignity and class, a bit like some of your fans.
and we feel embarrassed for him as well mate, don’t think we are all idiots that can’t see the truth here, my main concern is that wenger’s outburst has over-shadowed the real problem (which taylor is now just another stat) that bad tackles end careers, this has been picked up by the press instead of questioning the need to tackle like players in our leagues do.
Mistakes happen, we accept it, what we don’t need is to be castigated because we were emotional, had van nistelrooy and ferdinand cried insteas of puking on the pitch when alan smith broke his leg the story would have been different to gallas’s monumental fuck up on saturday. He cried, he was upset and now he’s been told to shut the fuck and do his job properly on the pitch and off of it.
We all know our manager takes the piss , but when other managers do the same no-one gives a shit. Why should Wenger not be given the same grace?
Hope Taylor doesn’t let this pray on his mind, i believe the whole situation has been awful for everyone involved and no-one will benefit from having the blame moved about…..end it before the fa get pissed and screw us both over.
And just in case you were gonna put any vids of eboue on here, don’t bother….i hate that prick!
: )
Last time you xenophobic pillock. Wenger retracted within hours, much to my disappointment because he was right. Do you not see the difference between a challenge that someone walks away from, and one where studs are smashed through a shin above ball height and put a player not just out of a game, but potentially the only major championship he will ever get a chance to play in. Lack of dignity and class? What have you called him on here? You petty little Englander.
End of, let’s move on.
Thanks Dino, I’ll have to give up my job at this rate!
The pair of you, pack it up NOW. This piece is about the media reaction to what happened.
A_n_E, for the last time visitors are welcome to debate, but not to abuse. I don’t doubt you are standing up for your man, but can you not understand you will be treated the way here I suspect I would be treated on SHA?
Same goes for you YNMF. There are places this nonsense can go on. I don’t want it here thanks.
thanks dino, you have certainly come across as far more eloquent and objective than a lot of the commentators on here.
and goonerholic if you’d like to come on over and see how you are treated you are more than welcome. anyone is welcome and all subjects are debated and in most cases no-one agrees with each other. come over and chat about your take on footie and perhaps you’ll see that your views are wide of the mark.
holic,
i still have the keys from my time at talkshite…..fancy paying terry a visit? ; )
Quick hello here, ‘holic.
This place will calm down eventually.
Oh dear.
Anecdote-telling blogs are still a pleasure to read.
Heh, thanks Dino. Do you know when they have their staff meetings?
Be a shame to have to go more than once 😉
You’re right. It just might be enough ‘holic.
You know what? I’ve been an absolute crazed, stalker-like fan and sent four emails to Dudu and one of them came out on the webbie so I guess it was well worth it.
Can’t be bothered with the arguments anymore… them bunch can defend Taylor all they want – denial is a comfortable place to be in, innit?
x
No Brums on here `holic.
Crossroads must be starting.
That Boon geezer hit me with his motorbike and drove off.
More Benny than Boon, the lot that have been here trizzo!
Alright ‘holic, I know. Just jesting. Sorry.
🙂
Nice work, ‘holic.
Taylor three match ban. …Aliadiere four match ban!!!!
What did he do that was 25% worse.
He wasted the FA disciplinary committee’s time trizzo. They are important people with vital work to do. All ‘Tiny’ did on Saturday was to keep a whole host of unimportant paramedics, nurses, surgeons, registrars, receptionists, and hospital administrators busy. A bitch slap is dangerous you know. He could have messed up someone’s hair. And he’s a pesky foreigner!
😉
They might increase Eduardos 60 match ban because the ambulance went through a speed camera!
LOL Oh you guys made my morning… x
