Did you guys read the ******* article? Pires is being a little bitch because he was substituted in a match, what the hell is great about that?
Besides, after the game, he himself said he didn't play up to the level he was supposed to. He must've been real ****, if he himself admitted it.

I went to sleep last night satiated, content at heart and mind and woke up this morning 9 months pregnant.......something is really, really wrong here, man.
Anyway, I'm gonna write a hit tune about this bizarre circumstance of mine and make millions off of it.
*I woke up this morning, had dem WTF 9months pregnant blues. I looked over in the corner and Enigma be fiddlin' mah nether region. He's be like, 'wake up Momma, yous be havin' dem nightmares about yo pappa leavin' you alone with uncle Percy.*
There's a start.

for once i think i agree with yossarian - i really do think pennant has AMZING talent just does not show it in the rare games he gets... he is the best player in the E-U21 team setup currently (imo)
Indeed, sir, Indeed.
It took a real man, a man's man, the kind of man you only find in Montana or Kenya to bring this avatar to life. I scoured all over the world to petition world renowned Sig/Avatar designers to make this avatar of mine for me, but they were all too squeamish and cowardly and also appalled by it to develop it for me. You can be rest assured that the pay I was offering them was very handsome ($5000Cdn...now that's a lot of mooalah at the moment with the Cdn dollar being fairly strong and all.) The only remaining notable and well celebrated Sig/Avatar designer left on my list was the great Viceroy of the Carolinas (North and South, of course), Sir $teauA Hyman. This great man took the burden of making a vile avatar of this calibre like this one on his shoulders (have to admit, he, like the rest, was also a bit hesitant about this project at first aswell) and built this one of a kind magnificently grotesque avatar for me.
$teauAAlthough I haven't been impressed with Pennant, he would be the star at Man City and SWP the not-that-great-yet player at Arsenal if they played for each others' teams.
Yep, it's remarkable how Pires who prefers his right foot over his left can be so much better on the left. Also he works well together with Cole.

Wenger would consider signing Mutu
Sacked striker Adrian Mutu is almost certain to serve a lengthy ban once the Football Association have completed their investigations into his drug-taking shame.
But that will not stop Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger keeping a watchful eye on the player's personal situation once he has served his time.
Wenger has backed Chelsea's decision to axe the Romanian skipper for testing positive for cocaine but as he prepares for Tuesday night's vital Champions League clash with Panathinaikos, the Highbury boss says that Mutu's misdemeanour will not stop other big clubs taking a chance on him when he is free to play again. Maybe, even Arsenal.
Wenger is second to none when it comes to man-management and the thought of Mutu at Arsenal may have already crossed his mind as something to pursue once the player is rehabilitated.
After all, the Romanian would be a free agent and, even if he served a two-year ban for his offence, would still only be 27.
Wenger said: 'At the moment, I don't even wonder if that could happen because I think he will be suspended for a long period.
'But he will be like everybody else once he has been suspended. He has the right again to start from zero and to be open to any negotiations. I would then meet the player and see what he tells me.
'There are other players in this country who have been considered to be positive and they have played again for big clubs.
'There will be clubs who will give him a chance. One he has paid for it, you cannot say never.
'(Fabian) Barthez has been caught in France but it has not stopped others buying him or putting him in the national team again.'
Like most of the leading clubs in Europe, winning the Champions League title remains Wenger's holy grail.
Yet one win and two draws means they have flattered to deceive once again on the biggest European stage this season.
The expectation felt by Wenger and his team is immense, especially when you consider the financial implications for the club as a whole.
The £265million they borrowed from the financial institutions to build the impressive 60,000-seater Emirates stadium at Ashburton Grove has to be repaid.
One of the quickest ways to do this, of course, is to have a successful campaign in the Champions League. Winning it would help even more.
Wenger added: 'We borrowed £265million from the banks and we have to pay that back over the next 14 years.
'For the next 14 years we will not have the financial power that we will have after then as we have to pay that money back for the new ground.
'What we have to do is speed up the reimbursement of the debt and that is a possibility if we make better money than expected in our budget plan. Once you get to the semi-final of the Champions League you make big money.'
But deep down, it is Wenger's own personal pride and ambition that drives him on to win that elusive trophy, not the spectre of the men in suits counting the cash at the banks.
Yet he knows that even if he did win it this season, it will not be good enough for some people.
Wenger added: 'I think some of the criticism levelled at us in this competition is a bit harsh. We were seeded in the top eight in Europe and I cannot say we are a disaster. But the expectation is very high and I can agree with that.
'When we win it they will say we are not great until we win it again and they are right because you are never great enough.
'Our target is to get through to the group stage at least. The requested level for us is to win the Champions League.
'My motivation is to go as far as we can and try to win it. I don't think the players are burdened by the expectation and it would not be an excuse anyway. At our level you have to live with that.'
Panathinaikos will do their best to put prevent Wenger from taking another step on the road to qualifying for the next stage and he is well aware there can be no slip-ups at home.
He added: 'This is a massive game for us. I feel you must be strong at home because even in the knockout stage, if you are at home, you feel you can beat anybody.
'We didn't have that feeling last year because basically we got ourselves in trouble at Highbury, not away from home.
'We've come back from two away away games with the sense that we took the minimum out of it as well as a feeling that we could have beaten those teams. We have five points, one victory, and two away draws.
'Panathinaikos will come to defend. They did that at home so I expect them to do that again.'

God we dont need anymore fowards/mids. Especially junkies like Mutu.................
What Wenger should be lookin for is a big Centre Defender who is strong in the air. Southampton raped us today in 5 min. because our Defense just sucks in the air without Campells presence.........That second goal Cygan got no air. That bald headed dick needs to learn how to jump
