4. ashish - 6 September, 2006

5. lasagnechef - 6 September, 2006

I guess so ashish, whatever makes you happy :) you could have said up the arse but that’s just a personal favourite too…

6. ashish - 7 September, 2006

8. ashish - 12 September, 2006

10. gunner8 - 18 September, 2006

Mr. Chef de Lasagna

how about Billy for Gallas
viperPersie, for his venemous shots
Scwartzenneger for Hleb, last year AW said that the boys were joking that Hleb was looking like Arnie in his rehab from injury
vavavoom for TH14
just Denilson, for Denilson blah blah
Flimflam for Flamini
I like Song’s but camarounian kaka would also work (although 1 day he will prove us all wrong)
Gilberto for Gilberto Blah da Blah
SwissKolo for Djourou
Double Deuce for Clichy… …sorry but Gael!
Manuel Faulty for Faulty Manuel
Manu for Adebayor (that is what TH14 calls him)
Garinchinho for Eboue

Just a thought

11. lasagnechef - 18 September, 2006

Hi.I don’ like Arsenal

22. Seljuk - 9 December, 2006

Hi everybody! I do not like Arsenal….

23. RC8 - 20 December, 2006

You are missing the most popular nickname for Adebayor; “Ade”.

And I think you’re being a little too harsh on Song, it’s not his fault he’s being played. I love the rest of the nicknames.

24. lasagnechef - 21 December, 2006

Hmm maybe you’re right, changes ’shit’ to ‘useless’. And as for Ade I must’ve forgot, I use that nickname but forgot to put it on here, wll done for spotting

25. wez990 - 21 December, 2006

Love your blog: The layout and display of information is great.
I would recommend this blog to any Arsenal fan!

I particularly like this squad section: It gives you brief details of the information you really want to know (and impress your mates with).

Cheers for an enjoyable blog. I look forward to regular returns. Keep it up.

26. peter - 4 January, 2007
