Engeland en Schotland

Ik gun het die Katwijker eerlijk gezegd niet zo. Maar verder is het natuurlijk wel een grote club met een mooie historie en grote aanhang. Wat dat betreft zou de club wat mij betreft wel kampioen mogen worden.
Ik ben daar ooit een keer geweest voor Liverpool - Manchester United. De sfeer in en rondom het stadion was toch wel erg gaaf hoor.
Overigens moeten ze het misschien wel even een tijdje zonder Steven Gerrard doen:
Steven Gerrard gearresteerd vanwege mishandeling
Steven Gerrard is in de nacht van zondag op maandag gearresteerd in Southport, een voorstad van Liverpool. Samen met vijf andere personen zou de captain van Liverpool een man hebben mishandeld, bericht de BBC. Het incident gebeurde om 2.30 uur plaatselijke tijd in de buurt van een pub. Het 34-jarige slachtoffer werd met zware verwondingen in zijn gezicht vervoerd naar het ziekenhuis, maar zou buiten levensgevaar zijn.
Gerrard is nog steeds in bewaring. Zondag scoorde de international nog twee keer in de met 1-5 gewonnen Premier League-wedstrijd bij Newcastle United.

Gaat het wat worden bij Arsenal voor Andrej?Arsjavin lijkt op weg naar Arsenal
Uitgegeven: 7 januari 2009 11:41

AMSTERDAM - Hoewel coach Arsène Wenger niets loslaat, lijkt Arsenal dicht bij een akkoord met Andrej Arsjavin. Zenit Sint Petersburg, de huidige club van de middenvelder, bevestigde al eerder dat er enkele gesprekken met de Londenaren zijn gevoerd.
“Ik hoop dat de clubs eruit komen”, zei de speler woensdag zelf tegen The Guardian. Zenit-trainer Dick Advocaat meldde dinsdag tegen de verzamelde pers dat zijn sterspeler vrijwel zeker vertrekt.
“Arsenal heeft interesse, maar meer weet ik daar niet van”, aldus Advocaat. “Ik verwacht wel dat hij vertrekt. Het is een topspeler, die bij elke Engelse topclub een meerwaarde kan zijn.”
Zenit-directeur Maxim Mitrofanov verklaarde dinsdag tegen Sky Sports erop te rekenen dat de transfer binnen twee weken rond is. De transfersom vormt tot op heden het grootste struikelblok. De Gunners zouden de vraagprijs van bijna 22 miljoen euro veel te hoog vinden.

Jammer is dat, inderdaad. Het verschil met of zonder Walcott wordt op die manier behoorlijk groot. Maar dat is Arsenal. Centraal, centraler, meest centraal.
Ik ben benieuwd hoe Wenger dit puzzelstukje gaat oplossen. Ik denk dat je heel moeilijk met Adebayor, Van Persie, Arshavin en Nasri kan spelen, bijvoorbeeld.

Kan makkelijk volgens mij. Het zijn zwervende spelers die allemaal een goede trap hebben. Zeker ook nog als de backs gewoon opkomen...Enganche schreef:Jammer is dat, inderdaad.

IK GELOOF!!!!!!
Ze willen het tevaak te mooi doen. En het gemis van basiskrachten breekt hun teveel op. Denk dat dat de grootste redenen zijn. Het veldspel, met de nummer 1 t/m 15, van Arsenal is prima hoor.
Maar als jongens van 17-18 de vervangers zijn van spelers als Adebayor, RVP, Fabregas, Gallas enz enz win je inderdaad niks.
Teams als Barca, Man Utd, Chelsea hebben een veel grotere en kwalitatief gelijkwaardigere (is dat een woord?) selectie

Ik las ergens dat het om een transfersom van € 13 miljoen zou gaan, dat zou natuurlijk een prima deal zijn.joey schreef:Een paniekaankoop inderdaad. Eigenlijk niets voor Wenger, maar hij schijnt onder druk te staan.
Hij heeft wel veel indruk op mij gemaakt tijdens het EK, vreemd dat hij pas zo laat echt is doorgebroken.
