Cesc Fabregas Fans

It’s hard to know whats happening with Arshavin I just hope we can do the deal this week…sooner it’s wrapped up the better don’t want City hijacking things

Plu I heard that about Arshavin,,, but supposedly Zenit say we are the only club in talks and Citeh have not tabled a bid,,, supposedly we are upping our bid,,, who knows,,, arsene knows lol but he aint telling

hi plu lol I forgot about both of those lol thanks for setting me straight I’m easily confused

hi kate I’m going to look for some photos now so should have some up soon

hi guys
I am happy to get 3 pts from that game . It wasnt easy .good goal from dane and a superb game from robin .his shot that hit the side par in the 2nd half should have been a goal . He was amazing .rose are there any new photos for cesc in the way ? So desperate to see new photos .

Well Manure won. Chelski were hopeless. Manchester United have 2 games in hand and if they win them both will take the lead by 1 making it a 9 pt race. If Chelsea keep playing like that…they could be the ones in the battle for fourth though

Oh. And Zenit rejected a 10 million bid from Arsenal for Arshavin. Their 20 million valuation is way high. He’s cup tied, so that brings his valuation down a lot. And his contract is running out soon, so I don’t think it’s wise for them to be demanding 20 million. I do think 10 million is too low for him though- 15 million is more the mark. And apparently, Man city want him.I know they can outbid us but Arshavin has said he wants to play at a big club, which man city aren’t right now.And they won;t get into the cl for another 2 years at least.

mj-I meant the cesc calender you made for everybody for christmas, and the official arsenal calender.

Yesterday was frustrating once again. But I’m not going to complain because right now, a win is a win. And we have usually struggled with Bolton in the past. But I think Vela should definitely be brought on as a sub. Not so sure if he is ready to start games. Once he comes on, he actually runs at the defenders. And the formation changes as well.That formation in the last 20 mins suited us. The team had so much drive then. And it was good to see the fans getting behind the team in the last 20 mins.

Thanks George.

Max it’s going to be an interesting match this afternoon and I think a draw is a real possibility…

We looked a lot more effective once Nasri shifted to the middle after Vela came on. I thought Vela, Nasri and van Persie did well. Also Toure and Djourou played well although they didn’t have the busiest of days as we had 77% possession. Sagna is always dependable too.

Anyway, Arsene knows best. He continued with Bendtner when most armchair experts wanted him dropped and he saved our arse today

thought this was a good write up about the current state of play at the Arsenal

Robin was definitely motm imo

hate his haircut but XD

Well we’ve made up some ground and maybe we’re not real convincing at mo but I’m not gonna moan so long as we get results. Now let’s hope for a draw today between chelski and manure so they both drop points

we are always playing hard matches these days…
i’m glad that nasri is playing well in cesc’s positon:) he shud play in the middle and leave the left wing to vela. i quite like vela but i dnt like denilson and diaby…they’re always making me angry:@
nice to win anyway…

Thanks Sheila

Considering all our injuries I was very happy that we won. This is not our first choice team and certainly not our first choice midfeild and we were playing against a team that parked 11 men behind the ball for 90 minutes. If we can keep grinding out wins until some of our injured players are fit and back in the team, then I think we can have a good second half to the season.

Also I was really happy for Nick. Suck on that boo-boys!

Diaby was pretty atrocious I have to say which is disappointing. I had high hopes for him.

e so miss Cesc hope he is on the mend. Can’t wait till he is back. We are a mid-table team at best without Cesc in our side.

BTW awesome awesome site. Only just found it and love it!!

I was pleased we got three points. At the end of the day, it was a boring frustrating game but if we had lost or drawn it would have been much worse. Bolton deserved nothing from the game and that is what they got. Good.

To those who say we lacked creativity you are right, but it is very hard to show creativity or play with fluency against a team that comes to park the bus. It will always be tough to break such teams down, and so we should be happy that we did.

I was a doubter about the wisdom of even having Arshavin as a target but after today I am converted. There is so little intelligence, vision and creativity in the side now. Getting in players who can put some bite back in our toothless attack has to be a priority.

Now we might not get Arshavin, we might not get anyone, but we have to hope things will work out for the gunners and we’ll have some luck in the window, because we are so short on spark

Glad we didn’t drop any points but we are going to need to up our game still to make sure of 4th

you’re right matt. I missed that also i remembered after what I wrote the other day that almunia was captain against Villa but toure started that game…so yeah

on the midfield… TA i feel your pain

Positives: Glad we won. Happy for Bendtner. Samir and Robin had good games.

Negatives: Eboue, Denilson, Diaby and Ade were poor. Bolton’s tactics. What has become of our fluency? Even playing against a block defence their is no excuse for so little off the ball movement.

Where is the real Arsenal?

NY-Gunner, Wenger said just a week or so ago that he would rotate the captaincy with Cesc out.

I agree George it was such a frustrating game but WE WON at least! Hey thats 7 games unbeaten!! Woohoo!!

That’s nice to hear rrawr

the less said about that the better some games don’t need analysis… 3 pts is 3 pts and with the kop dropping 2 pts. The title race is tightening up again as wenger predicted

It was so cold. I swear I could barely feel my feet sitting in the stands. So no excuses for how static we were in the final third you’d have thought the lads would be moving just to keep warm.

Boltons tactics were cynical in the extreme. But in a way they did not hurt us because I am not completely confident in our defence and Bolton simply never really attacked and that has it’s advantages for us. We broke them down in the end and by doing so could grab 3 pts.

The team were booed off at the half but the atmosphere picked up in the second half and the only player really singled out by some of the supporters for jeering was Bendtner so it was poetic justice when he scored.

Two goals in two games for Nick that should give him a boost.

We might be taking the winning ugly philosophy a tad too far at the moment. I mean really it was fairly awful stuff.

I hope we get Arshavin, or someone creative, we were well short of creativity today and really feel the absence of Cesc.

WOoOOoOO!!!!!!!!! we won!

Was glad for Bendtner as a lot of fans have been giving him a hard time. Overall kinda dire game Bolton just came for the nil-nil they didn’t even counter really in the first half. Glad we got the 3 points.

A win is a win. I know I seem to be saying that a lot lately but there isn’t much else to say… I won’t talk about our midfield because I don’t want to start crying.

We kept a clean sheet and apart from some dodgey moments when it seemed communication between Al and the back 4 broke down, we looked alright, so there’s a positive.

cesc is the nicest famous people i’ve ever know
i asked him to wish a happy bday to my friend, and he has agreed to send her an autograph. i am amazed, speechless, idk what to say anymore. he is just as nice as ppl said he is

We miss Cesc so much! Our midfield is woeful without him. I was pleased with Vela again. I think he deserves to start.

I don’t know how Ade could miss that sitter… sigh.

I am just so relieved to come away with the points.

Robin was excellent and unlucky not to score

I hate those kinds of matches,,, I’m so glad Bolton didn’t get a point and I hope they are relegated.

Good on ya Bendy son!

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh….congratulation….Gunners win.

Good boys .

Cesc looked so cute…hehe.tq.

watching Arsenal play…..still 0-0…at 68th min.

Ade n RVP with very near miss……

GO ARSENAL GO………

villa got another 3 point.

Mr February is cute XD

thanks!

good luck to the lads!!

No worries Rosie,,, now I don’t have to feel like a right bast*rd for not supporting kids in need,,, good luck to the boys in red and white. Bolton will be tough but we’ll do it

Thanks for letting me know Rosie Thanks for the heads up about the photos on Cesc’s site… there are some nice ones of his family

GOOD LUCK!!!! We have to win! We can not be drop points

Sorry for the confusion I tried to order the calendar and I couldn’t – I put in all the info and went through to the payment page and it said it accepted Visa and Mastercard and so I put visa and it just kept rejecting my visa – and I think it was because it was a foreign credit card. Also there was no step for shipping and I would have needed to pay more for shipping than for the calendar lol and so I don’t think they’re set up for international orders.

Sorry for the quality of the pic I know it’s really fuzzy but it gives you some impression at least I’m sure a better quality version of the picture will turn up at some stage.

I thought Toure was the vice captain. He was when Gallas was captain. I think the only reason big Al had the armband was because Toure was not starting. Wenger has just said with Fab out that Toure is captain when he plays. I don’t think that is a change IIRC

Correct me if wrong

Hey I just read that Kolo is going to be the captain while Cesc is injured. The timing is bad with all the news about his transfer request it doesn’t half sound like it was a carrot to make him stay and I think the captaincy should be based on ability not used as a sweetener imo

Agreed fonz… they should have done a fund-raising calendar for TCT as the official Arsenal calendar is a tad dull. I got it for Christmas and the photography is nothing special.

Hi Jilli, it was just a screen cap from the video we don’t have the pic

Hi Plu, 3 really uh-oh we’ve missed 2 of them can you let me know what the others were. We should probably post a note about the others too I didn’t see rafa’s press conference I must go find it lol sounds good

I don’t know about the ordering sorry. I’ll see if I can work it out (yeah right!) we actually didn’t find it that easy to even find the order form on the runners.es site lol They let you specify a country though so maybe you can have it shipped? I’ll check.

UPDATE: oki doki I sent Rosie a txt and it’s only available in Spain. Sorry. So I added a little bit to make it clearer.

Good to see Cesc supporting another worthy cause! Top lad!

The video is funny! I hadn’t heard of the others but some of them are cute! hahaha Will they ship outside of Spain? I’s like to have Mr February on my… wall XD

Mr February! why does that me laugh Does anyone know what DNI is… I seem to have to fill in that whole form and I have no clue? Also will they ship outside of Spain?

and i was lmao at rafa’s press conference. Did anyone else watch it? He got out a list of greivances about man united and saf and started talking to the press about them. loool.

looo. Cesc is in three calenders this year XD

Cesc is an ambassador for Aldeas Infantiles
I never knew that.Isn’t he an ambassador of several other things?
Is the calender only available in spain?

Gallas and silvestre are out. Our injury list has been ridiculous this season. As soon as someone is fit, someone else gets injured. On the plus side, kolo and denilson are back.

cute pic! Do you have it bigger?

Damn,,, this is a good cause if they’d promoted this before Christmas,,, I would have ordered a couple as good stocking fillers but now I’m broke
