THE FOOTBALL THREAD Vol 2

Cool! Yea I would like to visit Texas & Chicago. I hate Vegas. When i was staying there, it felt as though I had been summoned to hell for 5 days.

And got a jab on my ass from one of the clinics at one of the casinos at Vegas. :mrgreen:

Gunners' 26th Greatest Goal - Kanu v Middlesbrough, 1999


GGG26: Kanu v Middlesbrough, 1999


http://tv.arsenal.com/


It's time to reveal the Gunners' Greatest 50 Goals - as voted for by Arsenal's fans.

Kanu gets his first mention in our countdown with a goal that encapsulates all that was great about the Nigerian striker.

Even though it was an 'unimportant' fifth goal in a 6-1 Arsenal victory, the sheer genius of the finish secures its place at No 26.

Arsenal travelled to Middlesbrough on April 24, 1999 off the back of a consummate 5-1 victory over Wimbledon the week before. And with Arsène Wenger’s side tussling for top spot with Manchester United, the Gunners had no intention of taking their foot off the gas on Teesside.

Marc Overmars started the rout from the spot in the fourth minute before Nicolas Anelka, Kanu and Patrick Vieira put Arsenal well out of sight.

Then, on the hour-mark, Kanu illuminated the afternoon with a ridiculous flash of brilliance.

The lanky frontman had a hand in the build-up too, pirouetting away from danger halfway inside the Boro half to feed Overmars on the right. After a neat interchange with Ray Parlour, the Dutchman whipped a low cross towards Kanu in the centre.

In truth, the cross wasn’t great but it mattered little to the Nigerian. Despite the close attentions of a Boro defender, Kanu let the ball run between his legs and sent a cute back-heel across Mark Schwarzer into the bottom corner.

Few in the Arsenal squad would have attempted it, even fewer would have pulled it off.

Cesc Fabregas... captain responds to speculation


Fabregas responds to media speculation



Further to media reports on Thursday morning, Cesc Fabregas has spoken to Arsenal.com:

"I’m not sure how many times I need to talk directly about my commitment to Arsenal as I continue to say the same thing over and over again, but it appears that every time I have spoken to the Spanish media recently, my words have bounced back to England, leaving question marks about my future.

"So, for anyone who is unclear or may have misunderstood what my position is, let me make myself absolutely crystal clear. I am wholeheartedly committed to Arsenal and my future lies with this great Club.

"It is a fact that we have not won a trophy for four years and yes, I am angry about that, but that anger stems from the deep deep desire I have to win things with Arsenal. I care about this Club and believe in this team. I am proud to captain this team and proud to wear the shirt. It really upsets me when people express my thoughts otherwise. The spirit in this squad is fantastic and we have the ability and mentality to compete on all fronts for silverware. Make no mistake, we are focussed and determined to show that we are capable of achieving great things together."

i think it's just a color variation of the away shirt. it's quite interesting to see another white kit. i wonder what color will the shorts be, it looked grayish from walcott's picture. and yea, i wonder what color fonts will they be using for this kit, probably black?
