Is it any surprise Ziggy is an Arsenal sympathizer?
Sure, it’s been said I am so white, I’m “clear” – but no one can argue I’ve got some soul. I regularly find myself in some “interesting” circles, and this past weekend I had a drink (or 9) with “Ziggy” Marley and re-wrote one of his father’s classic songs over a discussion about recent Arsenal news. We thought this song really fit the situation (and current headlines) and the following was transcribed from a bar napkin (or 9). Needless to say, we skipped a few versus of the chorus. Deal with it. I couldn’t drink another sip…
Exodus
Exodus – movement of the Gunners. (x2)
Mancini and the Mancs will move ya down
When ya do not spend.
Let me tell you, Wenger’s wrong;
Everything’s NOT alright.
So we gonna walk – through de roads of London:
The fans of this generation
are pissed off at this plight!
Exodus – Movement of the Gunners! (x2)
Yeah-yeah-yeah, well!
Uh! Open your eyes and look within:
Are you satisfied (with the team we’re fielding)?
Who knows where we’re going,
Who remembers where we’re from?
When we fight for silverware,
It’s always a kick in the bum.
In this Exodus: movement of the dead weight! oh, yeah!
Movement of Denilson! (We want a real Brazillian)
Movement of Sir Nicklas! (The not-so-great Dane)
Movement of Almunia! (Lehmann’s happy on the bench)
Movement of Cesc people! (It’s time to let him go!)
Movement of the Gunners!
Wenger won’t spend funds,
But rules with equality,
We’ll wipe away his transgressions,
If he sets the captives free… sets the captives free.
A classic, really. If only we could edit it for terrace use.
In case you didn’t click on the links above, you missed the news of Denilson coming out of the transfer closet. There, he might have given the best interview of his career… or at least the most candid; “”Let’s be honest, some of those games were shocking, shameful. We are better than that. But until Arsenal stop throwing away those silly points in those stupid games nothing will change.” It’s a shame he couldn’t motivate his team to accomplish the “silly” feats in those “stupid” games. Yes, the truth hurts me. What of it?
Nicklas Bendtner, on the other hand, allowed his father (aka: agent) to announce he is “100% open now to a change of clubs… [and that] there is real interest from both English and German clubs, and Bayern Munich were after him earlier. It’s all very exciting.” If the Bendtner’s are excited, think of how excited Arsenal fans are at the prospect of a more dependable/effective/talented striker coming to the Emirates in the near-future. This truth will set us all free.
Set the captives free!
Author’s Note: WAG IS so white, she’s clear, she does have soul and does move in some strange circles, but has never met Ziggy Marley… though while in a haze, he might have dreamed he met her. Many men do.
There needs to be an Arsenal Trading Desk. Right now I’d be selling Rosicky, Denilson, Almunia, Bendtner, Clichy, Diaby…
@MMDR I’ll send you Joey Barton and a few mil for Bendtner and Diaby.
Sorry, while Arsenal may be a team of pussies, we don’t have any rooms for cunts.
what about reformed cunts?
No, no reformed cunts. Nor congregational cunts, either.
@Prada – Only 9m pounds for Bendtner, you’ve got the cash for that after the Carroll sale without having to sell Barton (not that anyone else wants him either).
@MMDR – I believe those are all on the block (or certainly should be), except possibly Diaby. Unless we bring in another midfield badass/team enforcer (which is what song constantly has to do so people don’t walk all over his pu*sy teammates), then idk if they’ll get rid of Diaby just yet. His stature alone at least gives him some intimidation factor. He just needs more tai chi classes to help calm his inner warrior.
Stealin’ my joke again, WAG?

/TheytookourJOBS!
@MMDR – Did you guys sell Jack Wilshire when I wasnt looking?
@prada – no, but we did convince him to convince Pierce not to make him play for the U-21′s. Best news we’ve gotten in a while.
Bendtner: Sucks, but seems more durable than Chamakh. Did it ever come out why MC didn’t totally supplant NB? MC was on fire for the first ~8 games, but then “got tired” and dropped off the map. If MC can get his business together, then ship off NB. Otherwise, I’m not itching to sell.
Denilson: Is there a player in history with a lower “percentage of passes that actually moved the ball forward as opposed to horizontal or sideways”? Sell.
Rosicky: No one will pay. Retain for trash minutes, pray for ever-dwindling chance of resumption of past form.
Diaby: Ramsay Pareto dominates Diaby. Sell.
Clichy: Easy keep. Seems to up his game for big matchups.
No comment on oft-injured want-away midfielder who-will-not-be-named.
“Exodus” would be a bit more appropriate for Spurs, no?
