What’s Korean For Boing Boing?
Apr 5th, 2013 by 'holic
“Here’s a tenner mate, and thanks for making me a proud Grandad. If you change your mind about supporting the Arsenal I want it back.”
“I’m an Arsenal supporter Grandad.”
Number one converted I go to his younger brother.
“Same for you son. If you stop supporting Arsenal I want it back”
“I’m an Arsenal supporter Grandad…and Wolves…and Man City…”
He’s only seven. I can see I have a bit more work to do!
At least neither of them have been won over by West Brom, not a long way from where they live, and where we embark on the next of our tasks in order to achieve the dream of Champions League qualification for the sixteenth consecutive season.
I can cheat a little bit with this preview because I have already had the bare bones of it published by @Arsenal on the Talking Heads feature this week. The gist of it is that the Baggies have proved a match for anybody on their day this season, but frankly an Arsenal side with ambitions of climbing at least one place in the table should be able to fashion a result at the Hawthorns, even without Theo Walcott, Jack Wilshere, and Abou Diaby.
So impressive were we last weekend against Reading I really do feel an unchanged side might get an opportunity to repeat that form, albeit away from home against an opponent far stronger than the Royals. So impressed have I been with the hosts home form this season that I feel compelled to punt the ‘holic pound on that most iconic of scorelines. I’m even playing the Pet Shop Boys in the background. “One-niiiiil, to the Arsenal” Check the odds comparison sites and at the time of writing Bet Victor offer a stunning 19/2 against that. Good luck with whatever you fancy.
If you are following the Matchday Show live on Arsenal.com then you will also apparently see my latest six tweets live on screen. Don’t ask me how it works. I haven’t a clue. All I know is the broadcast gets a family audience so I will be under some pressure not to comment on any controversial incidents in the fashion that some of you may anticipate! Of course that won’t be an issue as I usually endeavour to avoid the social media sites during game time.Β I will set the appropriate tone…I hope!
Continuing the media whore theme, if you haven’t yet listened to this weeks Arsecast then you really should while you still can. Kim Jong-un threatens your enjoyment of the podcast, but should you be alive to enjoy it the brilliant @Arseblog reviews the week and previews the weekend’s critical fixture with a little hindrance from yours truly. We had a chuckle recording it. I hope you do the same listening.
Have a great one, ‘holics. Carry on converting your little brothers and sisters, children, grandchildren and so on.
Cheers all.

Oh yes
carrying on, loving the grandchild (he of many teams)…you’ll get him there π
Love it.
Is the photo of a load of Sunderland fans welcoming Paulo Di Canio????
Priceless moments with the little ones. I know you will enjoy every minute.
It’s another mega must win. Spud fans will be on edge all tomorrow. They know that a good win for us increases the pressure on them ten fold.
Bring it on. That’s what I say.
Any thought’s on Stevie Bould’s comments regarding the penny finally dropping over the value of keeping clean sheets – utterly mind-boggling…and someone gets paid Β£7m pa to run our team. I gather he again has flogged Jack like some dead horse and he is now out for the rest of the season. When will Sir Wenger learn…
Here you go Holic;
ν±ν±
Its funny how some with their agenda and minds already fixed see what the fuck they like in a rather inoccuous staement innit.
λ°μ΄λΉλλ μ±κΈ°λ₯Ό λλ¨Ό λ©μ²ν μ΄λͺ μ΄λ€
A good day I trust ‘holic…..was it the monetary bribe or Wolves flirting with relegation 2 yrs running that won him over π
I think we will bag a win over the “baggies” – yr famous 2-1 looks right to me. I shall be travelling upto the homeland (Islington) Saturday … eldest sons birthday bash. A Grand Thali in Marsala Zone at The Angel beckons for lunch – starters for a great afternoon to follow.
Whatever you are are doing, have a great day holics.
I bet Trev doesn’t know this post is up.
No I don’t ! π
Hey Holic,
There’s a Korea for you in this writing lark. π
Norris, mate just let their ignorance entertain you, you will be entertained for life, for free.
Heh @12.
Cheers Cent, will do! π
Nice one Holic. Thanks for the preview, and great stuff on the Arsecast.
I’m going for 2-0 tomorrow. Personally I would like to see Poldi given a start (fitness permitting), instead of Gerve the Swerve, notwithstanding his goal and two assists last week (harsh world innit), but I think you’re right and we will, more than likely, be unchanged.
Nice preview. Enjoying a wee late night Lagavulin on a special family occasion. Cheers ‘Holic.
Nice one guv’.
I’ve set the game for record, got the finals of the tournament that’s been played here in my bar this week so I’ll be pretty busy. I haven’t decided yet if I’ll put on the tv in the corner and try to catch bits and pieces or go into lock down and watch as live this time tomorrow when I’m done…. decisions, decisions. It’ll probably be the latter.
Anyways, gotta hit the hay as the first match starts in around 5 hours.
Enjoy the game however you may be watching it.
COYG’s.

deep joy
Unchanged side. Keep a clean sheet as Mr Bould says, and we walk away as victors
hello holic me old mucker, im over for the fulham away game if your going we must meet up, i believe that children are the future, teach them well and let them lead the way, show them all the, oh hold on, thats a song aint it, better get on with my life and leave you alone
I hope you meant 0-2, tabs. But I agree with you re Poldi. AW’s use of him is as inexplicable to me as his use or TR7 … subbed in practically every game he’s played, preference given to Gerv, OG etc. In my team Poldi would start every game he was fit.
Oskar
Dizzy! Saw you briefly on the arses the other day. Hope you’re keeping well mate.
It’s very interesting looking at this place as any other Arsenal blog, and then reading the drinks. Bergkamp, it must be a strange sight to be a newcomer here, mornings like these.
Now of course, this isn’t just any other blog, and I really urge every single person wondering what the hell is going on in here to stay a while longer. It’s worth it.
Good preview ‘H, and great hearing you on the A’cast talking bout the A-bomb. 1-0 to the Arsenal sounds just about right. Rosicky to get it.
Morning all.
*boilk* confirms that I gleefully embraced my Swedish health advisors and partook of much red wine. 3 kids jumping on the bed at an ungodly hour…..
I’m just guessing, but I suspect CBA may have had a few too….
Oskar. I agree re Poldi, so the conclusion must be that he is injured, which he himself has confirmed. Surgery in the summer apparently.
Coffee…..
DIZZY!
How good it is to see you here mate. Not doing Fulham at the moment, but I will have to enter delicate negotiations. Would love to see you if we can juggle things around.
April and May hasn’t been a happy period for us over the last two seasons (four wins I think across those two seasons), so time to start rectifying that today as we need four wins this month alone. And we can put a bit of pressure on the Spuds for their game tomorrow.
Morning all, great stuff from cba as usual π
Dr C, I am happy that my medicinal advice was to your liking!
I’d say the game today is a very pivotal one. Three points and I am quite confident that we’ll at least get fourth spot, but a loss and I am almost certain that we’ll finish outside the CL spots.
Oh, look at the time – only about two hours ’til beer o’clock. Better have a bit of breakfast then!
Nice one Holic.
Important game today for sure, but not as pivotal as Lars seems to think. There is still lots of football to be played (mad Korean fuckers permitting).
0-1 to the Arsenal will do nicely.
UTA.
Do not be alarmed comrades. Our beloved leader is a gooner. All tactical weapons are being aimed solely at a swamp in N London in case of unfavorable League of Champions finishing race.
We shall ensure that N London remains RED.
Then we might have a go at our noisy neighbors in the capatalist new money South..
Victory to the RED army!
I want to kill anybody involved with Eurostar and especially their new website.
Got my new card from the bank this morning.
Seemed to be accepted by Eurostar (so they really put ‘<' ? Fucking idiots and inadequate support to)….
except that after having entered the usual security checks from my bank, and having the transaction as confirmed, I am redirected to a totally blank page on Eurostar site called 'Threeds callback'.
And I have no confirmation of my booking by e-mail.
So at the moment I have no idea whether transaction went through or not.
So here it finally is. The day that divides everyone that gives two hoots about sports involving hairy beasts, in a country and a competition where the English Thoroughbred is still valued highly, and often bought at too high a price. The stands will be full of people in colours and strange hats. Last years event was nerve-wrecking affair and involved several fatal mistakes and afterwards change was promised from pretty much everyone involved. It is a day that promises speed and excitement. There is nothing quite like it and it is hard to call a victor beforehand.
Since Fulop won’t be playing I guess it will be harder than last years game but for the Gunners it shouldn’t be a hurdle on the scale of Becher’s Brook if we fly out of the traps as we have done a few times during the last few weeks.
Good luck everyone! Up the arse!
I have booked for the weekend after.
This time, straight after entering my card details, I get confirmation.
Without having to go thrown my own bank security checks….
So that’s their ‘security’s’ (sic) ?
Baffling.
Still need to re-book that first ticket, assuming the money wasn’t taken from my account.
Enjoy the game all, it’s getting too busy here for me to be able to watch it so I’ll have to wait ’til the early hours of tomorrow morning.
Heh @Various CBA’s, Dizzny Houston @26 and our deligate from behind the rice curtain @35.
Lars, every game from now until the end is massive, but as zico also points out, not pivitol. Way too many variables and points to win and lose……. this one may go right to the wire.
Laters all.
Media lockdown in 5….4….3….2…..
Game’s not on telly. Wtf Canal+?!?
To Room 101 with you too.
This weekend is not really starting well.
And now I try to rebook the first one, I get the extra checks again and the same fucking fuck up as the first time.
The mind boggles.
Afternoon all.
Nice preview Holic and pleased to hear your evangelism is working. Very important to maintain your family tradition.
I’ll take 1-0 to the Arsenal.
COYRs
At least you haven’t tried to convert them to Arsene FC.
Good afternoon chums.
Aside from my serious Grand National punts i have had a cheeky little ‘holic pound each way on Joncol, for no other reason than it is in the closest to Arsenal colours.
Fly baby, fly π
I now have a train ticket for next week.
Lady on the phone was far too nice for me to shout abuse at, especially as it’s clearly not her fault…
Anyway, they are aware of their problems with bank servers (that doesn’t excuse the April expiry thing, but that’s a different matter). — slightly worrying though, hope card numbers are not being hacked……..
She was however totally baffled about the transaction that went through… Security, eh?!?
In other news, looks like I’ll be in the pub for the game.
I can now read the blog at last, and well, eat.
I’m still not impressed though.
There’s a blog? ((c) Ollie 2003)
Cappa Bleu and Balthazar King to win the Grand National, Β£10 each. Fingers crossed for a good result at Aintree and the Hawthorns.
Sweet story at the top there, ‘holic π
#30 Dr C
how dare you !
“Iβm just guessing, but I suspect CBA may have had a few tooβ¦.”
for your information i had several
big difference
What’s with having the Grand National while football is going on?
Isn’t that just stupid?
i hope i get monty’s pass in the bar sweep again
Don’t let the bastards grind you down, Ollie. π
Afternoon all,
Ollie – I’d still complain in writing Ollie and keep going until you get a personalised reply. Gotta be worth one free trip right? Wanna legal letter? π
And the game’s on in the away juicer if you can hotfoot it over! Might even buy you a pint π
Oskar @27 – I certainly did mean 0-2! π And yep agree that Poldi’s and Rosicky’s lack of game time has at times been a little puzzling. If Poldi is carrying an injury, I don’t really see the point of nursing him through to the end of the season if all he is going to be able to play is 10 mins, (if that), at the end of every game.
Hehs at Cba. No rest for the wicked! π
And Mick Jagger’s a Gooner? Must admit, I didn’t know that. Fair play to him. Perhaps Satisfaction, far from being an ode to frustrated sexual desire, was penned as a result of Arsenal’s rather barren sixties period? Perhaps we can adopt it as our anthem? Food for thought.
Toby @37 Good stuff indeed. Very topical.
Twenty minutes until the away Juicer. Hurrah!
Is Lukaku injured? I’ve seen a line-up on Twitter and he isn’t in it.
Good news if that’s the case.
Arsenal colouurs come on home!!
Cba in the wheelie bin had me in stitches.
Too much poteen, methinks. π
I see ‘holic has answered the question on twitter, heh
COYG
Cheers Tabs, felt like the idea was better than the execution but just reread it and I did alright in the end. Hopefully you’ll all have forgotten it by this time next year so I can deliver it the way it deserves.
Right, so I’ve got beer and cake with lots of cream on it at home. Not the best combo but I am hungry and I really want beer so here goes…
No change in line-up for the Arsenal.
The ‘holicpound should have been on that rather than the scoreline π
Looks like the yellow colouured horsey came on home first. Were the Arsenal colouurs jostled in the backstretch? Can’t let that happen again. Spell checker says colors every time in case you were wondering …
Southampton playing well. Or, again, is Reading just that poor?
We’ve not really got the bench Spain does, but there are a few exciting names on there at least. Feels alright. Noticed that our second pole isn’t on there. He injured?
Whoops it looks like that picture I saw of the yellow colouured horsey was last year’s winner. Arsenal colouurs still in the running!!
Did Southampton know what they were doing when they fired Adkins and replaced him with Pochettini? I could have predicted they would have had a better pasta chef but they seem to have really taken a leap forward in the table.
Terrific pic on Arseblog this morning.
Right I’m off. Good luck everyone.
COME ON YOU GUNNERS!
I’ll be an honourable villain today. A loss for Stoke and they will be in the relegation battle.
*honorary
Honourable villain… Errol Flynn called and wanted his title back.
I’m bored and nervous. Where are you all? Do I have to turn to twitter?!
Toby, It usually happens that when nobody is in the drinks before a game against a lesser heralded opponent, that we go on and play badly. Good reason to be nervous!! π
Hey everyone! Lets tear Baggies a new one, come on!
That said, I agree with AW’s unchanged squad selection of
21 Fabianski
03 Sagna
04 Mertesacker
06 Koscielny
17 Monreal
07 Rosicky
08 Arteta
16 Ramsey
19 Cazorla
12 Giroud
27 Gervinho
… but if something goes wrong we should bring on the Ox.
Bergkamp, you’re right bt8bbgfg! Didn’t even think of that. The “we should win, so why bother” and then everyone and Danish being here after the game complaining.
CAN’T… STAND… THIS…
Afternoon all,
Big, but not decisive, game today.
Sorry, no time to back knird – notime for horses, on any courses, just a big fat COME ON YOU RIP ROARING !!!!
in the bar
one screen has the ponies
one has the arse – nearly
another has the african queen
isn’t it a wonderful world we live in
UP THE ARSE !
(and best wishes to horses various and mr bogart in his skirmish with the germans and the leeches too)
morning all. let’s get this, lads!
whew!
fabs having a bit of a rough start.
we are giving them belief.
need to impose ourselves much better ..come on lads!
quiet in the bar this morning, eandy!
rozza!
Told ya.
ROSICKYY!!!
great work, gervs. turned him in circles.
Gervs brilliant to make the pass, defender had no clue
Game not on here. Did TR7 and Gervinho do something good??????????
yeah they did bt8bbgfg π
Good save Fabs!
nicely saved. now webb is playing for them, ugh.
Should I have said TR7 LEGEND????????
Good play by Gervs ..he looks lively again today.
you could, bt8. π
wba have a lot of actors in their squad.
fuck you Webb…never a yellow
Bacary still having a thing for hitting first guy in front of him…sigh:(
oh, aaron.
how on earth its not 2:0….awesome stuff
Yes. But no goal.
should be 2-0. maybe he is in on the holic pound.
ups and downs kind of half …should be 2-0 really
not bad, some really nice moments at front, a little shaky at back. second half will be better all around.
On the other hand loved how TR7 went all \m/ with his hands while celebrating his goal. Sharing same music taste as him I really appreciate this π
I’m liking the look of the “as it stands table” with Arsenal above Chelski for the time being. Come on boys, bring it home and let the others do the chasing!!
Re: Scruz @94. Don’t mind if I do then. Thank you very much π
my pleasure, bt8. a drink of your choice with that, too?
ooooh shame!
2 for rozza!!!!!
ROSICKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
great pass from aaron, and way to stay with it to get the rebound, tr7, you legend…there, I said it bt8…
Yes TR7 two goals…now keep it tight at the back
This is the rosicky we sighned from dortmund, the one that could hit them hard!
Garth Crooks VERY unhappy about the effort from West Brom on Final Score. I hear the sound of wheels coming off and bums squeaking from the far end of the Seven Sisters Rd.
COYR
kenyan, yep. and the control and shot from the pass.
Has Rosicky done something else good, then??
Scruz and Eandy, I think we should drink a few Czech Pilsens all around with a toast to TR7. Anybody got a side bet on a TR7 hat trick?
urquell for me…rozza!
Time to see if we can match or improve on Man City’s goal difference …
Already had two Pilsners myself soo..should have third one so TR7 scores a hat-trick:)
Fuck ..no no no no
per off for a foul, penalty. ugh.
almost ..now this is going to be very long 20 mins
almost saved by fabs. bring on tv5, bring off gervais.
must have stated the obvious, then π
Very lucky there
we need to control the ball more right now. tr7 off for Gibbs, good call.
Hanging by a thread
wheeeew!!
waves of brommers…
five minutes of ugh.
Take it to the corner ffs
ooooh, nice turn, nearly you hfb
Three points baby!!!!!!!!
yes!!!!!!!
Yes!
That was fucking agony!
YES YES YES!!
Buzzing. Great win.
Shame about losing BFG for Norwich game though …but still…good away win..made it hard for ourselves again but stood firm. Were really lucky with their chances though, I thought that that Lukakus shot was in.
indeed, z. my stomach still in knots.
and sphincters tighten all over the north end of seven sisters road.
#141 scruz
*chuckles*
THERE’S ONLY ONE ARSE ON WENGER
Great backs to the wall stuff, but we were nearly our own worst enemies once again. But for two poor finishes we could have lost a game that we were in control of.
However, a big 3 points and one more tricky away venue ticked off.
Setting things up nicely for the Feelgood convention on Hornsey Road next Saturday. π
They don’t have sphincter control up there, mate.
Zico @136,
Saved me writing it !
Bloody hell, radio commentary (even on Arsenal Player) is pure torture.
By the way anyone else noticed Gervs being little bit pissed off initially when TR7 headed in first goal? It was clearly meant as a shot on far post and in the first second Gervinho looked like “oh ffs, it was supposed to be my goal!” π
Nice hard fought win. Should have been wrapped up before that pen but the 10 men put in a good shift and deserved their luck.
On to the next match….go win Gunners.
Going to get out in this lovely Boston spring sunshine wearing my Rosicky 7 shirt. π The second one was vintage Rosicky with the sublime first touch touch and the long-distance shot.
Fabianski for all his improvements still is unconvincing in corners and crosses. The boxing hook to the Baggies defender was rather hilarious on multiple levels.
Both of our goals were nice. But if Ramsey didn’t miss his sitter — otherwise he had an excellent match — that would have been the best of the lot.
Impressive resilience shown towards the end. A bit lucky perhaps with some of the misses, but Koscielny and Arteta particularly were very intelligent. Both of them had very good games overall. Monreal had a good game, Sagna too but except for some of his crosses in the first half.
This should give us enough confidence to navigate through difficult periods in any of the upcoming matches.
What a important win this is. Very happy gooner here.
So pleased for Rosicky, he deserved this, MOTM imho, with Gervais not far behind.
I hope that this performance from Gerv the Terrorist Swerve, finally will not be considered as a poor one…
Still shocked. Off to read the drinks
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-rd fought win #NeverInDoubt
Wenger talks the same garbage after every game, the whole team are a yard short of quality. Ramsey’s a liability FULL STOP.
Dear God, there are some cheerless fuckwits about.
Ramsey had a very good game imho, should have scored yes but otherwise did everything right.
Very close very nervy last 20 minutes it has be said. BFG needs to kick himself up the head that was a really bad challenge and no where near the ball.
We stood firm thank god and Fabianski had a decent game too!
Three points is all that matter pressure is on.
I though Arteta and Giroud should have been subbed too we could hardly keep the ball in those dying minutes.
I’m not complaining though I knew it was going be a tough game but we got ourselves to blame because we invited them and allowed too much room in the second half.
Come on Arsenal!
julian
Enjoy the win and keep that negative vibe for Le Groan!
Eandy @ 153 — Ramsey had an excellent first half up to the miss. Then in second half initially his performance dropped off (he was tentative, may have been thinking about the miss) but then with the assist his game peaked up again.
Some of the runs with the ball in first half was really strong and also significantly improved in pace compared to his slow movements early this season.
The one who was rather subdued today was Cazorla, he was marked very tightly but also positionally speaking TR7 was playing the roaming role more and Santi was I think poised to spring counter-attacks. Unlike against Reading where the attacking 4 players continuously switched positions there was a more rigid shape to the attacking play. Must have been tactical.
Don’t be hoodwinked by Wenger’s spiel, he’s given himself a margin of error, by using the top four as a barometer for success, he’s downgraded the status and prestige of the Football Club.
#151
interesting you follow your gloom with FULL STOP in capital letters – only to follow it with an actual full stop FULL STOP
Haven’t seen the game and didn’t listen to it either, I was content to watch Mr Crooks cacking himself and trying to induce the same in any watching Gooners. I wonder, though, whether this is the beginning of a return of the much-missed “real Arsenal”:
o Go into a deserved lead;
o Boss the game;
o Sometimes make a silly mistake and let the oppos back in; but
o Hold on to 3 points.
I’m not sure that this describes the early Wenger teams, but it’s very much the Arsenal of Mee and Graham.
Here’s to the next 7.
COYR
@151: The comment was also few yards short of quality.
Happy with the win, resilient performance from our 10 boys.
Couldn’t ask for more. COYG!
julian @ 157: Please compare Arsenal’s average league position in Arsene-era and compare that with the seventeen years before that. And then compare Arsenal’s win percentage similarly. And then compare Arsenal’s revenue stream, global following, etc. etc. in similar manners.
Then explain how Wenger has “downgraded the status and prestige of the Football Club”.
Finally someone, from somewhere has somehow managered to spot that i’ve downgraded the status and prestige of the club #MissionAccomplishedTn*c!
I could say the same thing about Chelsea. Stop living in the past i’m talking NOW.
Oxon @ 159: Memory is a funny thing. It always plays tricks on us. If you revisit the match reports of last few seasons you will actually see that there have been quite a few games where we have done what we did today. Granted not often enough to recover from self-inflicted wounds to win the PL, but had shown enough resilience to snatch wins in dying moments or held on under severe pressure in away matches.
Julian, complaining for complaining’s sake after a win? have a few drinks. hoodwinked? maybe it’s not just scum fans with tightening sphincters, but the wanger aht brigade, too. is champs league for arsenal next year anathema to them, too?
Chelsea – FULL BUS STOP (.)
lol@166.
i for one think julian is a visionary
once in every generation there comes a man . . . . . etc
good for you jools
you go girl !
Anyone knows if Szczesny is sick or injured? Vito was on the bench today.
Julian – you seem upset that we won.
I guess it would be a typical Wenger plot to try to pull the wool over our eyes and disguise his horrendous management skills by winning football matches.
Just make sure you keep your tinfoil hat on. I hear that the Frenchman has developed the ability to control minds via the Internet.
Beyond that: GET IN THERE LADS! Great result. Pressure right back on the other two.
COYG
Wenger’s set a record for longest period without a trophy as an Arsenal Manager since being formed in 1886. I decided to go just a bit further back.
Admittedly it’s been a tough few years – and the worry-lines have deepened, but I was not formed in 1886 – Up The Arse!
Keep the status quo and you can look forward to a few more tough years.
Give it a rest pal. In case you hadn’t noticed we won.
I can’t wait for Trev any longer π >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
cba, Wanger Out, π
Just been trimming my conifers, matron, with the radio on, set for some unknown reason to 5 Live and the shrill garbage of Savage.
Well, him aside, it was hilarious !
Stokies in droves moaning about Tony Pubis, and how he’s lost the plot, the passion, hasn’t improved the style of play, is heading for relegation, how the defence is rubbish etc. etc. etc. ……..
How my heart bleeds !
Where are the oh-so-funny piss takes of Arsene Wenger now ?
What has softened the hard-man hero in the baseball cap ?
Could it be the realisation that the ignorant tosser hasn’t got a clue what to do now that teams have worked out that a bit of slick passing round their elephantine cloggers will do for them very nicely.
Relegation ?
One division hardly sounds enough.
Might make the Aviva premiership though π
Scraping the bottom of the barrel #Down,Down,DeeperAndDown #BoredNow
@Julian in 1953 we won the league. Next trophy for us was again the league in 1971 as well as FA cup. If you count the inter cities fairs cup, we next won in 1970. That sounds like a 17 year trophy drought to me.
And your point is?
Tomas!
Just been wondering if Arteta, Monreal and Cazorla have figured out what Bould’s name means. Google Translate says bold means “audaz” in the sense of bold, or “descarado” in the sense of cheeky. Esteban Descarado has a nice ring to it all around, I’d say. Anyways, here’s what they’re saying about him on the dot.con
http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/-it-s-pressure-but-i-have-enjoyed-it-
