These arsenal fans. Very ungrateful.

CRISTANO RONALDO

@Christino

The title of this thread contains the phrase "Muppet Of The Season".We all know what Baptista did in previous seasons,the question is what has he done this season ?

In any case,the fantastic work he did over previous seasons makes him even more a candidate for "Muppet Of The Season.He has fallen from great heights.

If you take what he has done before and compare it to what he has done this season,the case for making him "Muppet Of The Season" becomes clearer

In fact i'm promoting him, he's a Super Muppet , second only to the Chris Suttons (I remember his chelsea flop) and Richard Wrights of this world.

Na so abi?

Comparing Julio with Henry's haul of goals is indeed woeful, he is an attacking midfielder quite alright but he is not a striker.

Julio can play anywhere on the pitch, maybe Mourinho'd know how to get the best outta him. I saw his goals for Sevilla and you can't but agree with me dude's d beast, moreover, it's really hard for spanish imports to make an impact in the premiership let alone in the first season. Morientes, Luque, and Del Horno are good examples. He's nearly spanish and is struggling to settle in England. Kanoute, Pongolle, Owen are premiership exports who did us proud.

To nail a player due to half a season's perfomance is really sad, esp. coming from a GUnner like you guys, i'm disappointed. Drogba smacked double mouthed chelsea fans in the face earlier this season. Maybe Wenger'll keep his fate in his guys and get the best out of them, the same set of Glocks'll definitely return to say they are the best in the world.

Even the aliadiere who assisted most of his goals against liverpool has been named in the muppet list, it's d same liverpool (Reina -ve) the "senior" team were unable to withstand.

I run down o!


@ 4Play,

Honestly, I don't know what to call the likes of Chelsea's latest imports this season if Julio qualifies for the muppet award. Let's see how it goes then. Maybe Sam's acquisition of Andranik was a fluke, we shall see.

Silence

Wondering

@Christino
You are right,Baptista's natural position is as attacking midfielder behind the front 2.Wenger has played him to far forward because of the striking crisis.He has hardly adapted to playing in  a new country and he has to adapt to playing in an unfamiliar role

All hail d analyst

Muppet - worst performance (given expectations/skills or previous reputation) in the current season.

Drogba may have been a muppet in his first season (though i doubt it), but now he's good.

Baptista flopped! hence his qualification, and which half a season? 6 games to go and its half a season?

He is a muppet, guaranteed

wrong position does not infect you with inability to control the ball, or shoot and hit the target, that is a personal failure. Damn y'all are getting me all worked up thinking about this wrong footed oaf

A muppet who earns alot of money

I agree Baptista has been a huge disappointment.However,if you are playing out of your natural position in your first season in  new country,that can affect even the basic skills of a footballer.

As a striker,he has less time and space than in midfield.The pace of the Premiership is also much quicker than what he is used to in Spain.

Debosky can also tell me why the world cup wonder kids, Tevez and Mascherano are suddenly muppets and why All time great long range shooter Ballack can't even score at close range in the Premiership.

This is one award i'm looking out for. I'll be glad if a defender or a goalie can get it instead

And what's happening to Aghahowa? whilst Baptista, Tevez and co came on switch/loan deals, he was outrightly purchased, no glory in sight? how about Jason Roberts, and the low returns of esteemed Marlon King?

It's getting even more interesting.

I'm yet to see a gunner who hasn't laid all the woes of the season on Wenger and Baptista. Can't we for once stand by our word, believe in ourselves? Boro have lost 7-0 to Arsenal and no one called for Schwarzer's head, Dudek was crucified the moment Baptista ended his career, Yakubu has had loads of bad games and rued opportunities but but but Gunners, i hail o.

Mascherano is no muppet - he barely played, he showed his true quality against Arsenal at Anfield

Tevez? first season in Europe, playing for a mediocre team, not really a muppet.

Aghahowa? no one expected miracles from him, I knew he was finished like 2 seasons ago.

Marlon King? small fry

Yak has scored more than Baptista, he is a more consistent player

Ballack? an overpaid ninny playing on his last legs, didnt expect too much.

Dudek and Shwarzer had one off bad days, Baptista has been consistently horrible - minus one game against liverpool and one game against tottenham

that equals 2/15 very poor!!

Baptista is truly a muppet

Kpom!

Mascherano's example was just the one against Arsenal, i'm sure he didn't get a rating of 10 compared with Julio's Liverpool rampage.

Zamora is in the same team as Tevez, same mediocre team. Yak came from Israel, Maccabi and made his intentions known in his first season.

Marlon King, small fry? Na only you fit talk am sha, if na someone else i for attack am.

Yak plays in EVERY game, baptista is usually a sub, plus Yak usually plays as a lone striker, his natural position, Baptista is just a merry go round, plus Yak is an excellent penalty taker.

Dudek was contracted to play only in cup games, but after Baptista wasted him twice, he'll never get in between d net @ anfield ever again. I don't think he has played in the EPL this season. England number 2 is ready to boot him off next season. No Schwarzer, boro for relegation, no doubt.


Mascherano couldn't hold down first team jersey @ West Ham and you say he is no Muppet, i tire o. Tevez stayed and fought for his shirt, see the difference?
Eto'o proved his class while at Mallorca, Yak was good even with lowly Portsmouth, SWf @ Man City, Martins @ Newcastle, Pederson @ Blackburn . . . I know say I be Muppet, but i'm enjoying this.

Christino, you dey make me laff oh!

Javier's problem at W/ham wasn't lack of ability, it was the coach's philosophy.

you were the one who quoted 15 starts - out of them he played well in only 2 games!! haba if that is not poor what else is?

dudek had a bad game, but he was almost finished anyways, hence the cup only thing, Baptista is sposed to be in his prime, if this is it, then its too poor!!

Zamora is a small fry as well, if not he wdnt be at W/ham.

Tevez i can give the adjustment thing to , it was still a mediocre team

Yak is a better player as you've said, but Baptista cannot but be a muppet, 2 games not withstanding.

Tevez is not a disapointment and he is the leading candidate to win Hammers footballer of the season

Correct him oh.He knows nothing about football.

4play restrain this your man utd problem child

where did I say Tevez was a failure?

at least he scored 3 goals in 3 games with consistent performances, not like julio 'flash in the pan' baptista

Now i know you dont understand English.No need.Am out om here.

Christino abi wetin be your name.

Has Baptista performed THIS season?

If you think yes then I award you the muppet title.

If you think no, then what is the argument.

No one is talking about the past or the future, we are talking THIS season.

and if you see my post I even said he may still come good next season.

I beg read and comprehend not read and just start ranting jare.

Viera,

Let's give Julio muppet of the season

Then we'll give you muppetsnippet of the century

Because I know that if we were 2 count all the goals you have scored in "Monkey Posts", "Sets" and arguments, they are definitely not up to the 8 baptista has scored this season and I don't know why you should judge him based on the number of goals scored when he is not a striker. You can fire Aliadiere based on that but not Baptista, it's like playing Cahill upfront

What i'm saying is those crucifying Julio are clearly Gunners. They are the "aggrieved or wounded" ones and even if Julio scores a gucci trick till the end of the campaign, he'll forever remain a muppet of the decade. I await the day when ya'll turn the heat up Fabregas' arse, i've heard gunners destructively criticize Henry (of course on Nairaland). Here, they have rubbished Adebayor and even Walcott (Same gunners) and now that Baptista's the scapegoat i'll just sit in here and laugh, but you can be sure i'll poke you in the ribs when the time comes.

Keep Muppetting

Haven't you heard that wenger should be sacked ? Who else would clamour for that if not Gunners? Earlier this season it was all over the threads like the same team that reached the final of the Champs league wud be going 2 relegation. . . the same double mouthed usernames. Should i name names? No be time to flog with cane abeg. Make una carry go, i wan go sleep.

@ Christino

Should i name names? No be time to flog with cane abeg.

Make una carry go, i wan go sleep.

Am feeling this Ruggedy baba shi!@t you just spat bro

Christino no gree me vex oh, it is officially an abomination to mention Henry and that brazillian in the same sentence, abeg no dull T14 by associating him with that dude.

Fabregas is quality, he simply hasnt scored enough, and lets not forget he's only 19, ditto for walcott just 17 or is it 18 now, plus playing with injury for long spells this season. I would rate them both faaaar above fabregas,

Baptista is simply a mega flop, no excuses possible, unless he scores like 4 goals before the end of the season (6 more games) but we all know that aint gonna happen

and regarding the 'monkey post goals'

http://www.legacygames.ubc.ca/leagues/teamPage.cfm?ActID=5&path=soccer&Term=1&PoolName=M-T2-CWD&TeamName=PEM%20FC

my name is #1, with 3 goals from 2 games, heck Wenger should sign me up, I go score pass julio 'muppeto' baptista

Chei I don suffer!

Before you award me muppet, if you see me for set you for fear o!

I be like Fabregas and Ronaldo combined!!

How you fit compare Fabregas and Baptista

Lets put goals aside as you seem to think him scoring 4 against Liverfool should excuse him for life.

Have you seen Baptista's touch?

His touch is atrocious

He also takes to much time on the ball

In the premiership that is not allowed o!
