What do Arsenal fans think about Bentley returning to North London….and signing for Spurs?!?

The S*n reckons that new Tottenham signing David Bentley could be in for a rough ride from Arsenal fans next season.
Don’t forget to check out Online Football Manager!
Rohan Ricketts, one of the rare few to have played for both teams, gave his advice:
“I played with David in the same Arsenal side that won the FA Youth Cup. We go back a long way and we have stayed good pals, so I’m really pleased for him that’s he’s signed for a big club like Tottenham.
“Of course, Arsenal fans won’t like it at all and I’m sure that when he goes back to the Emirates they’ll give him a really rough time. I remember when I first went back to Arsenal with Spurs.
“The fans booed me every time I touched the ball and I copped some really bad flak because the clubs are such rivals. The same will happen to David and I’m positive the Arsenal fans will get on his back.” (The S*n)
Bentley is only the fifth player to try his luck with both teams, will Arsenal fans be booing him relentlessly or is it all water under the bridge?

He’s not a top 4 player.
Ashley - July 31st, 2008 at 1:59 pm
I think it’s a great bit of Biz, not only did we get maybe 7 mil from the spuds, but we did it without losing one of our real players …..
Couldn’t care less he is with them as he never made our first team anyway, he was just an Arsenal wannabe and we gave him away
MAC - July 31st, 2008 at 2:06 pm
OH ASHLEY, I THINK YOU WILL NEED THAT SEVEN MIL IF YOU GOONER DONATE MORE MONEY TO THE CLUB YOU CAN BUY A DECENT PLAYER,ALSO BENTLEY IS NOT GOING TO PLAY FOR A SHITY ARSENAL WHEN THERE IS NO FUTURE IN THE CLUB
Oh Yes - July 31st, 2008 at 2:34 pm
Nobody cares. Move on son.
Fred H - July 31st, 2008 at 2:35 pm
Don’t choke on those sour grapes Ashley
Rumblespur - July 31st, 2008 at 2:36 pm
Yes ashley…just think Mr Wenger can buy a couple of unknown african teenagers with the £7m and still have change to pay off some of the debt you have from leaving Highbury and moving to bluewater
southern spur - July 31st, 2008 at 2:38 pm
lol i love the fact you crerated and article and asked for comments knowing full well there is just gonna be a crap load of b!tching lol. does it matter what arsenal think? im sure they will all say we got robbed, they got money from us blah blah blah, who cares. i couldnt give a crap about arsenal but i do wonder why they care so much about spurs
Shite Hart Lane - July 31st, 2008 at 2:40 pm
Mac, clearly your a spud who believes that from spending loads of money in the transfer market doesn’t mean your gonna break into the top 4. you’ll be lucky to get in the top 6!
well done for winning the worthless cup last season, admitedly its more than we have won over the past 3 seasons however you are no where near us in terms of classy players, modric and dos santos got the wrong north london club!!!
TQ Sp*rs - July 31st, 2008 at 2:40 pm
Bentley a Sp*rs now means free transfer/ nett gain for Aaron Ramsey.
At the end, another rip-off for Sp*rs? Yeah, mid-table forever.
Lax - July 31st, 2008 at 2:41 pm
If Bentley was that good he would of been picked up by someone better than Sp**s . I think it should be how are spu*s fans gonna react to the fact he once played for Arsenal…. We get 7 million out of the deal. i think that lot from down the road are more bitter about that than anything.. Bentley aint that great.. but 7 million for doing nuffin is great business.
bobajob - July 31st, 2008 at 2:43 pm
eeerm Ashley (Cole maybe??) … the goons are getting 4m 5m 6m 7m (according to which paper you read) from Blackburn !!!! What they do with their money is up to them, nothing to do with Spurs. Oh, and wouldn’t it be nice if you actually had some money to “waste”
citi - July 31st, 2008 at 2:43 pm
Nice of Spurs to hel neighbours who are on their financial uppers. So charity does begin at home. Might stave off the bailiffs for a while!!!!
RAY - July 31st, 2008 at 2:44 pm
YES LAX ;NOW WENGER SHOULD GO TH THE JUNGLE AND CATCH A COUPLE OF PLAYERS WITH THE 7MIL
Paul A - July 31st, 2008 at 2:45 pm
The Scum as years go by get more and more concerned about Spurs progression and as a song once said - the times are a changing!
Lets face it thers not many players at Arsenal which i would replace right now with the Spurs side which is something i would not have said two years ago.
1. In goal Gomes
2. Centre backs when fit king and woodgate the best in the premier league
3. Left back - Gareth Bale
4. Alan Hutton - Arguably the best in the country
5. Midfield - Dos SANTOS, Modric, Bentley,JJ and Lennon apart from Fabgregas top that
6. Up front Berbatov currently the main man certainly better than Adeybeyor
Jack (spurs fan) - July 31st, 2008 at 2:47 pm
I don’t really care what Arsenal fans have to say. The majority will have biased opinions on him. My view is that we have over vastly over paid on a player that is only a fringe England International. However we are spurs fans and we’ll get behind our players and give them a chance in our shirt before we pass judgement (regradless of historry).
Lax - July 31st, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Ray, you another bitter Yid… Go and and get your picture taken with the league table while your still out of the bottom 3..
Do the maths son - July 31st, 2008 at 2:48 pm
Bobajob - if BB didnt have to give us 7 mil u would have got him cheaper.
Simple as ABC or 123 really.
A waste is wat u lot paid for darren bent to sit on the bench last season.
U guys a trully comical
Yidddooooo - July 31st, 2008 at 2:48 pm
Really Crap article!!!!!
you could see the comments a mile off:
Gooners: “he’s an arsenal reject, not good enough” “thanks for the cash” and so on and so on…
but hang on… the gooners have pocketed circa 5million from the deal and you let him go… definately a good move! i mean you could of had 17M! Haha
and hang on again,,,, Bentley is already an england regular now and is being drawn in comparison to Mr Beckham,, Alan Hansen said that he would be the hottest transfer prospect of this close season!
and the boy can’t half cross the ball (sorry Lennon)
Future is more than bright, it’s feckin lillywhite!!!!
EMIFARTE - July 31st, 2008 at 2:49 pm
THE ONLY CLASSY PLAYER YOU HAVE GOT IS FAB AND FLAMINI OH I FORGOT HE IS GONE AND ABOUT SANTOS AND MODRIC THEY CHOOSE SPURS INSTEAD OF ARSENAL EVEN HENRY TOLD HIM TO JOIN SPURS INSTEAD OF SHITY ARSENAL
mike arsenal - July 31st, 2008 at 2:49 pm
carlos vela on the dos santos move -”I hope things go well for him at Tottenham, that he gets the minutes he wasn’t given at Barcelona and that he shows what he can do.
“He is a very good player and let’s hope he can then move on to a better team.” LOL
Rumblespur - July 31st, 2008 at 2:50 pm
So Walcott wasn’t a waste on the bench for the past two seasons? Bent’s banged in 7 goals in aour last two friendlies and was never gonna get infront of an inform keane and berbatov…he will get his chance this season as a loan striker and he will take it…you watch.
laughing at spurs - July 31st, 2008 at 2:51 pm
I guess this is DEFINATLY your year now, YAWNNNNNNNNNNN. Funny how Spurs fans see a dream year by finishing in the Top 4, and Arsenal’s dream year is winning the league/European Cup.
Small club forever in our shadow in their little 35,000 seater stadium
Doug - July 31st, 2008 at 2:52 pm
U are all cunts. Arsenal is shit. AW Is a fag. He likes young boys who he fags. ARSEanal…. ARSEne BANGER… ARSEholes.
RAY - July 31st, 2008 at 2:53 pm
LAX YOU SHOULD GET THE PICTURE TAKEN ,ONCE THE LEAGUE STARTS YOU WILL BE SHITTING YOURSELF
Rumblespur - July 31st, 2008 at 2:53 pm
Velas thinking the same way about you now that you’re a selling club..oh no you’re not even that players want to leave before offers have evn been made…wahahaha how tha mighty fall hey.
Rumblespur - July 31st, 2008 at 2:55 pm
I’d rather have a 35k seater stadium full of passionate fans than that concrete bowl full of tarquins…fuck me your club has even set up a group called red action to try and create some noise and atmospere in your shithole…priceless.
Karl - Fenham Hustler - July 31st, 2008 at 2:57 pm
Ray - “YES LAX ;NOW WENGER SHOULD GO TH THE JUNGLE AND CATCH A COUPLE OF PLAYERS WITH THE 7MIL”
Not doing spurs fans any favour’s there.
Do the maths son - July 31st, 2008 at 2:58 pm
we bought walcott as a novice 16 yr old with no prem exp. Bent was established. but if u think the 2 are comparable then fair play. I would have compared bent to eduardo and walcot to bale or possibly dos santos!
Alex - July 31st, 2008 at 2:58 pm
The only players i would want from Arsenal are Fabregas and Clichy, the rest are nobodies. Anyone else remember when that list would have been Henry, Bergkamp, Vieira etc etc? Remember when Arsenal were winning things? Remember when people feared them? Remember when Arsene Wenger actually cared? And now its all sliding away haha! Their pot-bellied, balding, pie munching, ignorant, arrogant, under-educated fans simply cant handle that fact. Please, I beg any one of you to post the stats for the last 10 seasons, then draw a graph to show the trend of your demise.
Ms Spurs - July 31st, 2008 at 3:04 pm
“laughing at spurs ” oh hang on, i’m distracted by the jangling of silver in your cupboard - NOT. Couldn’t agree more with Rumblespur- The Lane has passion that is inexplicable, and fans that stick by their team through thick and thin. One thing is for sure, yes we may not have played to our best or got the results we wanted. But Spurs fans are their own biggest critics, despite all the shit we put up with from spineless egotistical tosspots like you, we love our team. By all means run back to your stadium of soul destroying silence, it probably needs you to keep paying the stupidly high overpriced tickets to make a dent in the debt your club is in. The joke is on you, for this one.
ciao - July 31st, 2008 at 3:08 pm
I think we are all forgetting that Bentley is a Spurs fan first - before he even played at Arsenal.
He also scored pretty highly for the no. of assists/clean sheets etc last season - I think 6th in the whole premier league. Not bad if you ask me.
No doubt he’ll get booed anyway.
No doubt he’ll also create a few nice assists against his old club[s].
SB - July 31st, 2008 at 3:11 pm

Alan Hutton - Arguably the best in the country…….haahhahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahhahahahahaha
hahahahhahhahhaha
same old sh*t from spurs. We simply dont care, we’re too busy looking at chelski, the mancs and the scousers. You dont even come up on the radar. If….(a huge titanic “if”) you took a place in the top 4 it wouldnt be ours so who the hell cares?
remember we were 4 points of the mancs?
remember you were 41 points of the mancs?
remembering any of this? anyone?
Oh but a new year and new wonder signings! SPURS FOR THE CL, PL, FA Cup, League Cup, FA Community Shield, Uefa Cup, WORLD CUP!!!.
SPURS FOR THE SEPTUBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ahahahhahahhahahahahhahahahhahaahhhahahahahahhahaha

Last time I laughed like that was when you were away to birmingham last season.

Love it how an arsenal fan ues a comment from carlos vela to try to wind up spurs fans! Iv a comment from an Under 6 spurs player “arsenal are rubbish” LOL

OR WHEN SPURS WON 5555555555555555555-1 AGAINST ARSENIL HHAAHHAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Ms Spurs - July 31st, 2008 at 3:19 pm
SB did you really just say “we’re too busy looking at chelski, the mancs and the scousers” you’re even more stupid than you sound. I suggest you get on with some dusting and stop wasting your time(!)
5-1 COYS

spurfect one - July 31st, 2008 at 3:45 pm
what we have to remember ar5ena1 have a lot of uneducated fans lol who jumped on the bandwagon when they had some success under wenger. there are a few who know about football but not a lot so lets not get involved with silly pathetic fans. truth is ar5ena1 are just a nomad club with no hardcore fans who probably like us are just a feeder club for the real big teams of european football.
Gareth - July 31st, 2008 at 3:56 pm
hahaha - Bently signing for Spurs and that is suppose to strengthen their squad?! Jokes. Oh and all this rubbish about arsenals squad weakening? If you look, we had got rid of deadwood (bar Flamini). Hleb has been replaced by Nasri - AWESOME! Did anyone watch the Ststgat game? He was amazing.
Bently hahahahaha. Wenger sold him cos he’s wank. he would never get in to the arsenal team. Spurs fans, think about it. he has to fight Walcott, nasri and Rosicky for his place. Would never happen…….
peacemaker - July 31st, 2008 at 3:57 pm
hey all you gooner mates let us just ignore these spurs bitches , they are of not our class and level, leave them for wigan, hull e.t.c.
NorthernSpurs - July 31st, 2008 at 4:00 pm

Rumblespur - July 31st, 2008 at 4:00 pm
Don’t be a cock Gareth….Bentley handed in a transfer request whilst at your dump the Child Catcher didn’t sell him….Walcott is shit,Nasri is unproven and Roskicky is always injurerd….but carry on talking shit…It’s nothing more than expected.
Ms Spurs - July 31st, 2008 at 4:02 pm
2004 … now, correct me if i’m wrong but i’m sure you had help winning that title, summat to do with a goal by Alan Shearer at St James’ Park that screwed scummy Chelsea over… you may of taken the title but you couldn’t even beat us! the game ended 2-2 didn’t it. I’m guessing you don’t remember the details as I’m sure you were probably new to the game and a brand spanking new supporter. infact forget spanking you were probably wanking at the time anyway …
CANADA FOR ARSENAL - July 31st, 2008 at 4:06 pm

Why are all you spurs scum coming on here and saying we have no future etc. when then is what Wenger builds for.
Furthermore, you buy average players that are sooo overpriced eg. Bentley 15M worth 8 tops, Arshavin 24M worth 15 tops etc etc etc!
We buy top quality players that most of the time are cheap except Nasri.
Fabregas 2.5M, Toure 150,000, Sagna 6M, Adebayor 3M
Point Made…We Will Win The League Yuu Will Struggle To Get A Uefa Cup Place HAHAHA
In Arsene We Trust
Simon - July 31st, 2008 at 6:49 pm
ok MM if you want the present then heres the presnt. we finsished 37 points above you in the league thast alsmot a point a game that you dropped on us. so in my opnion until spurs actually do anything of note then you shouldnt really be slating the mighty arsenal
aj - July 31st, 2008 at 7:27 pm
Msg number 14, why do you hype dos Santos up so much?! Even Mexico don’t care about your ‘wonderkid’ enough to buy the rights to Sperz games. Mexico instead bought the rights to Arsenals games this season because Vela is their true interest!! What a damning indictment to your appalling chairman Levy who is trying his best to get Sperz into the top 4 so he can sell the club to whoever wants to pay his overinflated price for a mid-table club with no support.
Simmeister I will tell you why - July 31st, 2008 at 7:28 pm
We have money to spend, and you don’t. That is why we can pay those prices.
For all of you talking about Nasri, GET OFF FOOTBALL MANAGER AND ACTUALLY ADMIT YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HIM. And if you DO know something about him, you follow french football - which indicates your whole heart isnt with Arsenal, because the french league certainly isnt covered well in England.
You are all so clueless. Nasri has one game in the Euro’s haha and got subbed AS as a sub and you all bukkake the fuck out of your Wenger posters! And you try telling us Modric and Dos Santos are shit… ahahaha please!
Charlie - July 31st, 2008 at 11:31 pm
Yeah nasri had one game at euros.
But what tottenham players played? Isnt Nasri 21? How many tottenham players where playing internation football at that age?
Mordic? Look how light weight he is. He wont last in the premiership. Against the bigger teams in the euros he was no where. Dos Santos? Tipped for great things at barca then they saw him not go forwars. If he was that big a talent would they of let him go?
Us getting 7m for bentley is great. What annoys you spuds is that we dont care that you’ve got him. When Sol left you hated him. Now bentlys gone to you we love him for the cash.
Enyoy the Uefa

Jungle raids cost us a quarter of the money you spent on Darren Bent..
Good luck on your raids of Championship teams.
Man Utd rules - August 2nd, 2008 at 3:28 am
Mary, you won’t have Berbatov because we will have him. He wants to go to a big club that wins trophies that’s actually worth winning and he does not want to stay to some pitiful club. FOYS!!!

HAHAHA! It’s rare that good players like Berbatov goes to your pitiful club so once we get your only good player, you will have bunch of underachievers. FOYS!!!
