It seems like only a year ago but here we are again. Another mid-season Arsenal crisis and nobody quite does a crisis like Arsenal and I know this is true because the TV media and newspapers tell us so. That’s how they wanted us to feel prior to yesterday’s game against a Sunderland side who had won their last two matches…
But a crisis?
I mean let’s look at this crisis and compare it with say, Aston Villa or Newcastle, now those are teams where the word crisis seems more appropriate and what about multi-million pound, petrodollar Chelsea FC, who stood yesterday morning 12 points behind a ‘crisis’ torn Arsenal. It’s enough to make any true Arsenal fan jump in front of a tube train at Arnos Grove or Cockfosters or Balham or anywhere, just like Eugene Quills…
Anyway I turned up at the Emirates yesterday having made my bet on Bet 365, complete with my hat, scarf, rattle and credit card, just so I could buy a beer…
Facing the Gunners was our old mate Big Sam, that paragon of open, flowing, tantalising football and his all singing all dancing team from Wearside.
Expectations of a parked bus were soon blown apart as Sunderland, and in particular Watmore, actually took on the home team. It was quite un Sam-like and caused us a few worrying moments early in the game.
Arsene had picked pretty much the only team he could pick and it was obvious to me, that after those three EPL games and the dropping of 7 points the confidence was low…
The passing lacked its usual crispness, Ramsey was working hard but it just wasn’t happening for him. Oxlade-Chamberlain made little impression, Giroud was being, well, Giroud, although in fairness to him the service he received was poor. Campbell was for most of the game, on the periphery.
Our attack lacked a cutting edge, but Ozil was magnificent, like a master conductor, directing his orchestra, but a lot of his good work came to nothing. He missed Alexis – we all do, and Walcott for that matter. To get the best from Ozil you need forwards who are quick, you need players constantly on the move offering Mesut options for him to slide the ball through. Flamini worked hard, Campbell was ok, the defence was good, but we didn’t look likely to score despite trying to create pressure.
Sunderland looked dangerous on the break and then it happened, Campbell engineered himself a shooting position and calmly slid the ball home…
Cue relief, but it didn’t last and a carefully crafted free-kick into the Arsenal box sped past two Sunderland players on the near post, and Giroud stuck out a boot to score in his own net…
Half-time…
The team came out after half time and tried to put Sunderland under pressure and eventually Giroud headed home to restore our lead following some great work by Ramsey. Ozil continued to be everywhere, linking play and trying to make things happen.
Campbell, AOC departed and on came Walcott and Gibbs.
Walcott’s arrival changed the whole team dynamic. Gone was the static Giroud based attack, Walcott used his pace and trickery and Arsenal began to dominate.
Ozil finally had a forward on his wavelength.
Giroud went off to be replaced by Chambers, Sunderland almost grabbed another equaliser, then Ramsey got the goal which his endeavours deserved. Aaron never hid, even when it wasn’t going right, he never gave up and we’re going to need that kind of determination over the forthcoming weeks as we wait the return of Alexis and Co.
We’re also going to need the intelligence, quality and inventiveness of Ozil. He truly is world class…
And so the crisis was averted.
ManCity dropped 3 pts
ManUre dropped 2 pts, as did the Spuds.
Leicester won and went top so well done to them.
And the crisis club went 2nd…
Oh, and Chelsea lost at home to Bournemouth and are now 15 points behind Arsenal, who, did I mention, are 2nd in the EPL…
Crisis, what crisis?
Written by AllezKev……
Thanks Kev, good post.
Only seen the highlights this morning. Ozil is a sensation… But he clearly misses the speed and movement which Walcott and Alexis give us when playing.
Thought Campbell took his goal well, Cech was outstanding, Ollie was as you say, Ollie but took his second goal well.. 😉
Good three points which were desperately needed after a mini run of shockers..
Now for Tuesday, will we, won’t we?….
Great post Kev…
1st
Rico I say let the cl go. Play the kids. Even if we beat olympiacos and qualify we ll be humiliated in the next round. No santi and coquelin?? No chance. Even when we had both bayern destroyed us. Imagine a midfield of flamini and Ramsey against Barca!!! Sweet Lord Jesus.
Good Morning Lovelies and Hunkies.
That is a crisis filled post dear Kev. considering the crisis full circumstances swirling around North London you did mighty well with that report. I enjoyed reading it.
I did not see the game, so cannot comment too much. But from the highlights i saw I can say that I enjoyed many aspects. The goals were all quality goals, yes even the one by Aaron.
Were we so poor as the media says??? I do not know. But isnt the hallmark of a great team winning when playing badly and being poor? Do we need to chastise ourselves every time?? we cant win every game 10-0 and having 100% possession.
Oh, and I like Sunderland’s kit very much.
Meanwhile, it would be advisable for everyone to remember that the league is played over 38 games not only on the last game.
Morning all.
Great post Kev.
What crisis….love it 🙂
https://youtu.be/vqh767BqJa4
Trouble is goonster, we’d end up in the Europa league and that would be even worse as you can bet AW won’t play the reserves in that competition…
But I’m not fussed about the CL either, other than another win will do us good…
Incase you guys have forgotten….here’s a reminder. Lol
Back in an hour, need to get some veggies for lunch…
Injuries!
What makes Arsenal injury situations a mystery is the pattern…once a forward player gets injured, all others join…
Arsenal started the League with Walcott favoured in most games to strike…Ramsey from right and Sanchez from left…we dominated, quick, beautiful…on a good run but boom…Ramsey cops up hamstring…Walcott and Chamberlain follow in next game…and our fine flow and form got grounded…
Just as we were getting used to seeing Campbell from the right and just Giroud holding the striking role all alone…Coquelin went, Carzola followed…as well as Sanchez who tremendously helps both midfield and defense…if German national coach, Low wasn’t magnanimous with Ozil, I’m almost certain he would have joined to make certain our complete midfield got grounded…
How long will it take Koscielny, Mertesacker and Monreal from getting injured al at same time? God forbid! But this is Arsenal…it could come during the very bust festive fixtures…
Yuck, who eats veggies for lunch??? Grab some roast beef rico. Meat good, veggies bad 😀
Devil, according to the media “experts”, we were average and Sunderland were fantastic.
Go figure lol
Pick apart Girouds goal.
I’ll say it…….we will not see a better constructed goal all season.
Every bit of it had to be inch perfect.
Nacho created space beautifully….superb work.
Ramsey cross was out of this world.
Split second, inch perfect precision, and it had to be.
Girouds finish was just perfect.
Go on…..pick me apart lol.
Before you do, though, just have another look at it.
Fair enough rico but we have a better chance wining the Europa league than cl. Wenger have never won anything in Europe. Maybe it’s time he does. Play the kids and second strong team up to the semi final then unleash the big guns. You ll never know it might be destiny.
rico, when you get back we play on Wednesday 🙂
goonster…I’d rather we win well on Wednesday and get spanked by Barca later than having to play on Thursdays…
But it’s gonna be herculean without Coq and Carzola…but with Ramsey and Walcott back…we could nick it…those two mean goals…and playing away from home suits them fine. If both had played at Bayern you wouldn’t have seen a 1 – 5!
We will belt the Greeks.
Well I am fecking hard to please my friend scott;)
.
3 weeks in a row we have gone one up only for the oppo to get an equaliser a few minutes before half time,a crucial period, therefore giving them the momentum, and all three teams are supposed to be shite teams and we managed to beat one, well isn’t that effing great.
Cech saved u at least three times at 0-0 and 1-1 but having said that Ramsey scored (just) with his fifteeth attempt of the season,
Heaven help us in Greece.
I think many just see what thay want to see.We finally overcame them but it was hard work.Bellerin has played really badly these last three games and our defense would get drawn to threads by any decent team.That we don’t have adequate cover in the squad is another story.Having said that Ozil really is world class even if the odd pass went astray and now can play a full 90 minutes.
Not dooming but a realist.
Tai at what cost??? How’s that for team morale?? And I guess any prospecting player ll jump and join a team getting shred apart huh?? Plus we don’t have the squad to push for all 3 tournaments. I say ditch the cl and focus on the pl. Gee do we ever learn?? We are barely putting 11 men on the pitch yet you want more games. I give up.
Kelsey I owe you a beer 😀
Kelsey, I never realised you were in the media.
Trust me, if I want to direct a comment at you, I’ll name you.
Stan, it’s shown year in, year out that players move for the right money, regardless of how well the club is going.
CL football is by no means the deciding factor in the vast majority of cases.
Stanley the carnivore.
On the 10th of August were were 3 points behind the leaders. Now that is a crisis. Now we are just two points behind Leicester.
The doom mongers have been telling us that we are crap.
Yes, we could and should be around 5 to 6 points ahead of Leicester by now, but imo……its nothing to do with the players or the ones AW failed to buy. Imo……the league is being kept as it is till January. So that interest remains. It will be only after January that one or two teams will begin pulling away.
goonster…if we qualified for CL knockout, we’d definitely play less games…means two more games…but Europa? You’d bet Wenger would be interested in winning it…meaning how many more games? Nine!
Besides, AW could strengthen to truly go for further in the CL…and big teams don’t play the Europa…please not Arsenal!
We won’t make it beyond the second round so why bother. Plus the sight of neymar Messi and Suarez running at our defense makes shit myself. I haven’t recovered from the last spanking Barca handed out to us. God help us if we draw Barca PSG or Madrid!!!
I was actually trying to be friendly Scott, and it wasn’t directed at you.You see the game one way, I see it another and because we are polar opposites I named you, sorry.
Which I why I said play the kids and get knocked out. If they make it up to the semi final then unleash the big guns. We can’t afford to play 3 games every week with this threadbare squad. No way. Throw the cl game and play the kids and second string players in the Europa league. End of.
Adamant 😀 howdy my good man? And the missus?
All good mate……id rather know where you stand, and it is not personal.
I haven’t once said we played really well, though.
I just believe all things considered….including the lack of signings…..we did well.
We banged 3 in, and had at least another 3-4 fantastic chances.
Sunderland had 3-4 great chances as well, so on stats, we deserved the win.
We must improve to be a chance at the title, as I’ve got little doubt Citeh will find form at some stage.
They’re still our biggest danger IMO.
Stan, if we to go to the Europa competition, I hope Wenger does what you suggest.
We need 2 players in January but we both know we won’t get half a player even if we do he ll be shit player on loan or worse a has been. Plus what really irks me is wenger ll wait till the dying moments of the window to get the much needed player. I say why bother then. If you have identified the said player by George do all you can to get him a day after the window opens. Sheesh this guy ll be the death of me. God help me.
Morning all. Only lost four panels of the rear fence! Result. Usually. They fly everywhere! Expensive business! Still it just replacement and renewal! AW knows all about that strategy doesn’t he? My back four is broken! Boo hop!
Poor we were from all accounts but a win is a win! A good summary Kev. Impartial I’d say, well with just a hint of bias!
I bet the rattle went down well in the library! Did it excite Stewardly rebukes? I mean they’re all paid up members of the noise abatement society. Rule one: no rattling in the cheap seats!
For me, only a substantial win on Tuesday will do. If we’re condemned to Thursday soccer it will terminate our season, totally. If we qualify for the next round of the CL it means we’ll only have two more games to play!
There you go Scott 😀 finally 😀 wasn’t that fun? Next stop is to finally get you to say wenger is shit and should be kicked out 😀 lol
Stanley. Not great mate. She has fractured her third metatarsal and is in a surgical boot and on crutches. She had the ball in the kitchen and I came in with a sliding tackle that caught her. It was after the ball had gone so no foul really. But I have ended up as a true house husband as a result. Prognosis is 6 weeks on the sidelines but I imagine she’ll be back before Welbeck.
Adam 😀 do you ever stop??? Hahahahah poor Mrs A she’s stuck with you I guess. Lol
Stan, I wanted Wenger to retire after the 2014 cup final win 🙂
Stanley. She is, but so far I have avoided a red card for the challenge though it cost me an Apple Watch. 🙂
Adam, who is Welbeck?
🙂
Scott. 🙂
Hey Adam you seen the news an arsenal fan ernie sometimes got hit by the bus and killed on his way to watch the game. I heard he’s been going for 75 years. Yikes.
I feel it will an attack of Campbell, Ollie and Theo at Olympiakos. With Flamini, Aaron and Ozil in MF. Alternatively it will be an attack of Campbell, Theo and Ox. With Ollie being introduced from the subs bench at the famous 60th minute.
will you get banned retrospectively Adam??? 😛
*Ernie something
Stan, Ernie was 90 year old and went to home and away games, plus rarely missed an England home game.
He was a regular at the Supporters club and very well known.
Very sad.
Yes you do scotty Oz lol. Yeah right. You re the archbishop of the wengerites. Left to you and your cohorts. He should never leave lol. Come on scotty I can see through you 😀
Stan is that the poor chap that got blown into the bus in north London in the gale yesterday? I thought he was 90 years old. What a tragedy and a terrible end after all the things he must have seen. Shocking.
What is it with managers?
Van Gaal just stated West Ham played for a point and got it.
The highlights show them hitting the post a few times and UTD being saved by De Gea on other occasions.
Do they think nobody watches?
Devil. My ban could be lengthy. 🙂
Stan, I like to think I’m fair minded, unlike you ya Wenger hater hahahahaha
http://metro.co.uk/2015/12/06/ernie-crouch-tributes-paid-as-legendary-arsenal-fan-dies-on-way-to-emirates-stadium-5547382/
goonster,if we draw Barça, PSG or Madrid is a good signal: we are in the next round.
I think we van win in Greece but doubts if the score will be enough
Like I’ve posted yesterday, It’s s a question of tactic: Giroud can’t play alone back to the goal. another player (at least..) must appear in the area. With Alex or Cazorla they do that; with OX and Campbell on the sides and Flamini and Ramsey on the middle no. Ox and Campbell playing in the sides they not go to the area but outside the area; Ramsey must help flamini because Flamini is´nt Coquelin. In consequence, there will be a big gap between the defense and the attack.
You know your audience scotty Oz you know your audience 😀
Ernie was also voted the Arsenal fan of the year last season…….
Adam he deserves a stand named after him. What a legend. The lads have to win this league in his memory. RIP ERNIE gone but not forgotten.
RIP Ernie. A true gooner whose loss affects us all.
I do my homework Stan 🙂
Bed time now……it’s been a long day.
Good night…..have a good day everyone.
JM you said my man. We ll probably win but fall short of qualifying. Hey that ll please me a lot. We ll spare ourselves spanking from the top tier teams 😀
I have just read the bbc’s match reports on both the arsenal and chelsea games and they are more negative towards arsenal! Really strange reporting and does make me think some people dont want to see us win the league.
GM, all.
The continuous Arsenal crisis is a media construct…and is mostly about the exaggerated manipulation of feeling, expressed as no confidence in Wenger.
And, it’s mostly to do with the fact that The Emirates is the nearest ground to the journalists’ offices.
Wenger is a genius, and every other club would want him as their manager.
There are, by any objective measures, clubs with much bigger problems…whether financial, technical, or cultural.
In the end, everything will be fine.
I wonder what Cesc is thinking. His career is going downhill fast.
Back to Wednesday not Tuesday folks.
yes we can score 2 or even 3 but with the players available and the way we defended these last three games,can you honestly think hand on heart that Away in a volitile atmosphere we won’t concede. It’s a hard call to tempt me otherwise.
Afternoon, Good post Kev, Well to take just 4 from a possible 12 and to still be in a position we are, speaks volumes off a league that no team as yet have stamped their authority on.
Including ourselves, no team has shown enough consistency, and you feel it would simply be criminal of AW not to bring in exactly what is needed in Janurary, but that’s where the trouble starts, with Alexis, Wilshere and Arteta all pencilled in for a Boxing day return, Wenger will no doubt feel that will be a sufficient number back, for him not to buy, perhaps even the board should go over He,s head on this one and demand the strengthening we will no doubt need to kick.
Never will we have a better opportunity under Wenger to win a Premier league title, with a real chance we could be top this Christmas, even with all our injury troubles, you,d have to feel that if AW can,t win this league, then jesus, he never will.
So let’s rephrase that and say Wenger was a genius or I prefer a very good manager that guided us through the transition and he like nearly everyone else thought FFP would balance things out but it didn’t and won’t.
The anti Arsenal bias shown by the media has always existed.I wanted Wenger to go two years ago with his head held high, at the moment we are a car crash waiting to happen, the only thing that is stopping it is that all the other main contenders that we thought at the start of the season are tripping over themselves as well, yet Liverpool and Spurs cannot be dismissed and kudos to leicester after 15 games,but will they keep it up ?
Afternoon All…
Afternoon Rico, thanks for the sub-edit… ?
Thanks for all the positive, not so positive and non comment on the post…
I suppose it all about perceptions…
If, by some miracle, this neurotic Arsenal team can stay in contention until our injured return and then we can go on our usual late run, then anything is possible?
https://youtu.be/IkyC9ZdHjaU
My top 3 midfielders of all time zizou pirlo and my Idol boban. Wow they don’t make players like these anymore. Atleast I can beat my chest that I saw them play at their prime.
Fcuking hell, just seen those stories about the 90 year old Arsenal fan…
I heard if reported on the radio last night…
I met him loads of times on the bus to away games, never knew his name but he was a great old fella, always cheerful.
Shit man, that sucks!
Shame kev what a way to go. I hope the club acknowledges him in the next home game with a minute silence. It’s the least we can do to honor him. Poor fella.
Hi Stan…
Yeah, Arsenal are quite good in that regard, I’m sure that they’ll be some mention of Ernie…
RIP Ernie Crouch, A true Legend…..
Afternoon all…
I thought it was Wednesday Kelsey then SS’s said we needed a win on Tuesday. Work that one out eh… 😉
Afternoon Kev, I barely touched it… 😉
I thought it was Thursday?
Kev he’s been going for 75 years. Jiminy cricket that’s a loooong time.
Ah, but your subtle changes, made all the difference Rico… ?
I think a little more than a minutes silence, for his continued loyalty and support over 80 years should be gave, maybe a plaque on a wall or a seat, would surely be a nice touch.
A True Gunner, RIP.
That’s dreadfully sad about Ernie. I read the story about the poor fella who got blown over in the wind and then hit by a bus… Didn’t realise it was him…..
RIP Ernie…..
Goonie, his first game was in 1934 at the age of eight apparently….
Not in a negative way I hope Kev… 😉
Two big bags of shopping from Aldi = £23
One big bag of shopping from Waitrose = £16
No wonder Wenger chooses Aldi… 😉
Stan, I’ve always found something magical about Arsenal in the 1930’s, and to be able to talk to an Arsenal fan who can remember those days – not many left now, is a very enjoyable experience for me…
I’m not sure, that when I’m 90 ( please God) that my recollections of Terry Neill, Ian Ure, Fingers Furnell, David Court, David Jenkins, Jimmy Robertson, Bobby Gould et al, are going to carry the same weight as say Alex James, David Jack and Jack Crayston… ?
Dublin, you’d like to think the club would do something in his memory wouldn’t you…..
Some cnuts on arsenal fan TV disliked his tribute and said some nasty words. I mean some people need to be boiled down into glue like Adam always say. I was surprised to see scum fans paying tribute to him. It came from all over. Manure chavs spuds heck even a Milwall fan. We re all people after all.
I bet you’ll still be able to sing ‘Vienna’ though Kev… 😉
Arsenal fans goonie?
When you will be 90 come and live over here Kev. It will be good for your ole bones. Plus the countryside here will do you good. 😉
Rico no one knows but what does it matter? He’s a human ffs. Show some fucking respect.
Bt, that’s incredible – 1934….
Rico, as long as Adam accompanied me on his banjo, I can sing anything ?
Coach, I could live next door to Alan Sumderland… ?
Just think it would be the right thing to do, Rico.
I,d say he had a few stories to tell, to die on his way to the game, wow.
Fantastic outpouring of tributes proves that Football fans can be amazing when they come together.
Or Brian Talbot. He still has his family here.
“I am tired of being portrayed as an idiot” says Nicolas Bendtner, the idiot.
🙂 Kev…
So do I Dublin….
🙂 Adam, isn’t he just….
Such a shame, I’m sure there’s a good footballer in him somewhere…
Adam 😀
Rico he could have been better than giroud if only he applied himself. Some of his build up play was sensational. And he did score some scorchers. Shame his ego didn’t let him.
Big respect to Ernie
https://youtu.be/wszlCMNDSbM
I happen to agree there goonie, shame is was such a twerp who got played wide…
rico, the official site says we play on Wednesday, I also thought it was Tuesday, not that it matters now as the damage has been done. By the way I would hate to think what Campbell had that dummy wrapped around 😉
Szsney reminds me of bedtner in the sense that they both have burnt their bridges with the boss.
That dummy thing was all rather odd Kelsey. Took him an age to undo it and then looked rather silly – each to their own though I guess…
What’s behind the dummy though, does anyone know?
Goonster, I was there for his last one. Came on, scored the winner, got injured, went off…. 😉
Maybe we play on Friday?
Lol rico 😀 but we could use a bendtner right about now. Off the bench that is. Our squad is so thin it’s scary. It’s going to be a huge January. Pray le scrooge gets his check book out early or we ll be in the sewer up to our chins.
Campbell and his dummy, there’s something in that I think..?
Calpol always did the trick for me…
People keeps harping on about how Campbell isn’t arsenal material well the kid has 2 goals to his name in less than 6 games yet penzard over at Stamford bridge has none in almost 15 games. Just saying .
He was just another player AW didn’t trust Goonie, nor did he play him in a position where he could have seriously damaged opponents but once his off field behaviour kicked into full swing, he was always doomed…
We certainly need something up front but hopefully Theo will be that player and just pray he stays fit. Him, Ozil and Alexis works so well together…
Shame we don’t have another cracking winger on the right….
I have one memory of Bedtner, plating Spurs, I think it was 1-1 on he came just as we were awarded a corner and he headed in what amounted to the winner.Am I right ?
Yes kelsey…his first touch too. From a corner. I went mental that day. What a bullet header 😀 lol
The trouble with Campbell is that he is on his last year of a 5 year contract, 4 years on loan because initially of work permit issues,he had value after the WC but we didn’t seel. The question is, has he got a future at Arsenal or is he playing as if he was in the shop window.
Rico says much about the man’s mental state doesn’t it? Won’t trust bendtner up front but chucks sanogo upfront against bayern and dortmund!!! Tsk tsk tsk.
I think he’s playing to seal a move away kelsey. He’s been treated like shit by dear leader I doubt he ll want to stay after his current deal runs out. Some club in Italy ll get the best out of him soon and we ll be sorry then.
But goonster, why compare Campbell with someone going through a bad spell, and one who last season was on fire…
😉
Kelsey, he’s said he wants to stay with Arsenal. Not that that means much these days…
Sure does goonster – he certainly makes some very odd decisions, still, good to see De Boer and Dennis are turning Sanogo into a top class striker… lol
On fire rico? A chunk of his goals last season were from the spot kick. Now that he isn’t getting any joy in that direction he’s been exposed for the fraud he is. Don’t get me wrong he’s a fine player but on fire??? No chance.
Ok goonster, but I’d still love to see him at the Emirates…
I spoke with a cousin who’s an avid Ajax fan (spits) he says (word on the streets)that Denis says he haven’t seen a worse player in his time as a player or coach. Says sanogo won’t cut it. Not there not anywhere. Lol
That ship has sailed man. We have Sanchez even though am not his biggest fan I still won’t trade him for penzard. Lol
goonster thee is a thin line between genius and madness and then there was the loan signing of the injured Kallstrom.In recent years that takes some beating. I agree with you about Cambell. Why did we let Gnabry go, he looked a better prospect or is he on loan ?
My first match was Feb 1958 4-5 loss at Home to United their last domestic match before The Munich Air Crash. I have to say they had some great players and Tommy Taylor could have been one of the greatest CF’s of that era.
Kelsey that kallstrom debacle was the last straw. I mean who signs an injured has been on loan on the last day of the transfer window??? I mean seriously? God give me strength.
Whoa kelsey 1958??? How was it back then? I ve seen pictures and videos but can’t imagine what it felt like.
Goonster, hardly surprising re Sanogo… Lol
I know re Hazard, no way will we ever sign him now…
Kallstrom signing was very odd but had he not been injured, I reckon he’d have been good. Signing him with a back injury as bad as he had was simply madness…
Signing Park was worse though, we actually paid money for him… Lol
Gnabry is on loan at West Brom. Pulis said he’s not good enough to play for them right now….
I was a kid goonster, but you could park outside if your dad had a car.
In 1970 (i think0 I went to brussels for the first leg of the Fairs Cup Fianal and sat next to Jack Kelsey on the plane. A rookie scored our late goal to make it 3-1 to them, Ray Kennedy. The Home leg played on a mud bath was history. The total cost of plane and ticket to Anderlecht was £12.00
A few years later GG was a guest at my wedding.
Rico signing kallstrom made no sense. The dude was injured and haven’t played in a while. Plus he had all January so what was his excuses? Park was a weird signing too but nothing beats kallstrom maam. Am sorry. I still haven’t forgiven him.
http://metro.co.uk/2015/12/06/arsenal-scout-ruben-neves-for-third-time-ahead-of-transfer-report-5547380/?
🙂
Oh cool an arsenal legend at my wedding good Lord I ll shit myself 😀 I still maintain the best years were the 70s. Wasn’t there in flesh but listening to kev wath Lee et al I get the feeling that the 70s were glorious.
Get you name dropping Kelsey… 😉
It was utter madness goonster but was a loan, didn’t we pay £6 million for Park? Kallstrom played more games than him…. Lol
Campbell did better than ox who is inconsistent ox don’t have the football brain like Campbell campbell makes good runs and can pick a pace from anywhere ox is just run past u cross try a trick there. .works today not tmrw inconsistent ox need to improve he has gotten chances a lot if u ask me
And that thing campbell did was about baby brianna i didn’t think he look silly i figured it was about a baby
That should be pick a pass from anywhere
Kroenke wanted to sell shirts in Asia forgetting 99% were knock offs 🙂 rico you knew about GG poor man is crippled with arthiritis and Peter Storey is very ill.
Oh that’s 2 names lol
Who here think arsenal should buy wanyanna from Southampton and loan them chambers in January ? I do. . Think they’ll take the deal? 18mil plus chambers on loan. Whats your say?
Rico ruben neves is the shit. From what I ve seen of him. JM should have in depth analysis about his game. I hope we sign him but I know we won’t. Not when we still have jack Wilshire Danny welbeck santi and coquelin.
I didn’t know about either Kelsey, that’s a shame… What’s Peter Storey illness?
Shan T – when you change your name, you go into moderation… Why the need to change?
Won’t be long to see what he does Goonster, just hope he shows some of the old Wenger, the one who made signings in the winter….!
ShanT, I think it was pretty obvious Campbell’s celebration was about a baby by putting a dummy in his mouth, but I’d imagine there’s more to it and that’s what I was asking….
Rico don’t hold your breath. We both know what ll happen. Am not going to put myself through that ever again. He’s a liar and a fraud who doesn’t give a hoot about us fans.
Wanyamma was on my hit list in the Summer..
I don’t know rico with regards to Storey but Martin Wengrow knows all the players passed and present and is writing a book about Arsenal. he is very well connected at the club.
Don’t you hold back goonie… Lol
He posts on here sometimes Kelsey, could be a book worth reading then….
I honestly belive that a)Wenger does lie,he’s admitted it and so do all managers b) he is under a directive from Kroenke to finish top 4 anything else is a bonus, but I have a horrible feeling it could all go wrong this season.Then Kroenke will say via one of his men that a season out of the CL won’t hurt us but of course thee sis that £228.00 million earning huge interest in the bank.
Kroenke is only interested in making Arsenal a bigger world brand but forgets you need to win titles ans CL’s for that not a seel our Cold Play concet at our ground that was suggested.
Pool vs the geordies on now rico. Hope someone steps forward and halt this kloppamania. Come on newscastle.
sorry got hiccups
Don’t get me started on Kroenke….
Goonie, little chance of Newcastle stopping them from winning again… Hope they dip in form before we go to Anfield…
Ruben Neves? Is a fantastic player and has only 18th-19th years old.
Any chance of him moving Jm?
Well rico Newcastle aren’t doing badly 😀 at this point last week shitty were 3.0 down. Lol. Come on geordies.
No score in Geordie land……
Howdy BT whats new??? Did you go to the game yesterday?
Yes rico i figured and just using a different device today
Ruben Neves? ??
Didn’t go to the match yesterday, unfortunately i have not perfected the art of walking on water, yet..
Not much new happening,just waiting for xmas to arrive, hope you and Brianna are keeping well.
Just done the Magpies to win……lol
Gonna change back my name now
rico 4.38, every chance if he joins us, he probably be our new centre forward.
Ha ha Micko…
We re doing fabulous BT thanks. The winters here are mild. Am grateful. I hope Newcastle takes the wind off liverpool’s sail. Klopp scares me. He’s on a roll someone needs to bring them back to Earth.
Wijnaldum and Sissoko>Ramsey and JW
Fingers crossed they can do what Bournemouth did yesterday goonie.
Lol DNA there’s no pleasing you dawg 😀
Difficult. If Porto fail next leg of Champions League maybe, but Ruben Neves is now Porto captain, Portuguese and only 18-19 years old.
Peter Storey is ill?
Rico that ll make my weekend.
Goon, its harsh reality.
Goon, Perez>JC, OX and DW
Captain means nothing Jm, look at the ones we sold… Lol
Seriously though, that’s young for such a responsibility…
Geordies 1up…haha
How long left?
DNA you re kinda right my man. We could use a sisokko I tell ya. He’s everything we ve lacked since diaby. Big strong and good on the ball. How we missed him is beyond me.
He’s been mentioned before goonster but don’t think he was a popular choice…
14 more minutes rico. Come on geordies.
Thanks goonster, let’s hope they can hold on…
Rico we need bodies badly popular or not as long as he can do a Job for us who gives a fuck? Plus I think I know what you meant by “popular choice” it’s ts huh 😀 that guy. Lol
Stan. We have to be looking at better than that surely. 🙂
Hi DNA.
Goon, i wont even mention Mahrez or Mane. All these players are on less wages than OX, JW, AR, DW, JC, MF, MA, TR and OG and they are all better squad players to help any team win the league.

How you doing Adam? Every comment I type I’m in moderation. LOL
Adam I know what you meant but put sisokko in a midfield made up of santi and ozil and watch him. Ask yourself this question. Who’s he playing with at Newcastle? ? Sorry mate I ll take him pronto.
You know me Stan. I’m never satisfied. 🙂
hence the reason Mrs A is your 5th wife huh 😀 lol
Aww a porto player how much money u think they porto would ask for? 35-45mil i say .. Is he that good? Now?
Absolutely Stan. 🙂
Adam I have to meet you in personal. My God you re the craziest English man ever 😀 hahahahahah
Come on geordies just 3 more minutes to hold on.
Thank you Stan. 🙂
2.0 game set match 😀 ha ha
Wijnaldum is a better footballer than JW and Ramsey, way above Newcastle level.
2-0!
rico, it’s a former player. That means many things.
Sissoko is aman very interesting for us. (i posted this before)
Lol Adam 😀
Game over Newcastle wins. Great weekend for us. Come on you gunners.
You gotta love them Magpies……..lol
In your opinion Gdna…
Well done Newcastle… 🙂
Hilarious Bt, first win of the season isn’t it?
DNA let it go bro. If jack Wilshire can get a full season under his belt we ll be looking at the best English midfielder ever. Better than that cnut scholes lampost and even gazza. I have huge faith in that kid. He’s a talent. One that the English sees once in every 10 generation 😀
The manager Jm?
https://youtu.be/o7D54KxVMJY
Great stuff Rico, i think that might be their third win of the season, they have conceded around 30 goals,
Plus if he were to be a chav or manure player ts ll be Kreaming his pants saying he’s better than every player on our payroll 😀 speaking of which where’s ts rico 😀 I miss that loafer so bad. Lol
Stan, Adam may well be a bit crazy, but give him some pesto and he becomes a culinary genius… ?
I thought they’d get battered Bt, don’t we go there next weekend… Lol
Ts is probably trying to get over the shock of us winning Stan….
Haven’t seen Joe or Roger for a while either, nor Ozgunner….
Kev he’s a handful I find myself smiling at the phone most times he’s on. What a man. Rico I vote Adam for blogger of the year and ts for flop of the year. Lol
Wilshere better english player ever lol thats england standard lol haha
I’m with you Stan, my vote goes to Adam…
Also agree re: Ginge, Stan…
He’s really lost his mojo… ?
Mahrez was at the emirates the last day of the transfer window.. Either wenger change his mind r he is joining us next year.
Shanice it’s called an opinion maam. That’s mine. You re entitled to yours.
Opinion goonster, so very true. Not everyone kind of gets that in life….
Did you see him there Shanice?
He never had one kev. Lol
Lucky 3 points. Due to failure to maintain concentration. When Arsenal score they assume job done. Once again we conceded after going in front. Is it arrogance? because several players are not as good as they think they are. 0
In the ‘Whatever happened to’? category I wonder about Ozgunner who was great and Dutch Gooner. My vote goes to Brudder Lee and his ability to cut through the crap with brilliant use of the English language of profanity. Makes me chuckle. And because he has a decency that reminds me of David Niven.
Yea i didn’t say your not entitled to your opinion either..
Adam Lee comes a distant second then there’s my Irish mate micko. He’s the king of banter and obscenities. What a group you have here rico. Lol
No i didn’t rico im in ja but he was there.
Welcome Penury. Why lucky? We scored three and they scored one thanks to us…
Yes they had chances but if chances always want in, we’d have beaten West Brom and many other sides. Cech saved us but that’s what a top keeper does….
Micko for me too, dry humour which is right up my street…
So how do you know he was there then Shanice or are you just believing the crap spouted by journos?
The best England player should walk in any team once fit.. R there club team. . Not just that but there preferred position too.. Wilshere is a squad player bench rubber lol
When fit, Wilshere is one of the first choice for England under Hodgson… Perhaps you don’t get to read about that in Jamaica…
No rico
Thought not Shanice and I bet if he was fit, Arsene Wenger would be playing him too…
Adam you forgot all about agag. Whatever happened to my Manila fire. I miss her.
Adam, I used to be in regular touch with Dutch gooner but one day he just stopped emailing and commenting and that was that…
Oliver is another who just upped and left too…
Lol r u kidding me. . U think africa is the only epl mad place?? R euro football mad? R u think because were third world we don’t have computers laptop internet etc
The day AW leave Arsenal KG, JW and AR Arsenal career is over. They just taking up squad space, the club could find better replacement that contribute more and cost less. Watching AR yesterday you realize he will not make it as a CM in a top club, headless chicken.
I was being ironic after your odd comment about Jack….
Just those three Gdna, gosh you are slipping today… Lol
Wilshere is average a form player no class peaked at17 . Starting for england is of no real value when your club team can beat them without u and don’t even see u as first choice
Gee give it a rest shanice. Nobody said that. She spoke metaphorically.
In your opinion Shanice, not everyone feels the same about Jack. Just because that’s your view, it’s far from fact….
Of course. i thought Every one had a right to there opinion oh wait unless u step on one of there favorite ofcouse.. Go figure.
Favourites?? Ha…
DNA I think you have a thing against our British core 😀 lol why are you not picking on flamini arteta or heck sanogo? Why jack Danny gibbo and rambo?
Rico. I know that DG was working in Germany just over the Dutch border. Yes, Agag doesn’t come on as regularly now but she is always good fun.
So, it’s all round Micko’s for the HH Xmas party then. He’ll be over the moon about that.
I wonder if Arsenal will ever bring an Islington boy through again?
You know what I pray to God Wilshire comes back stronger and better this time. A lot of people ll be needing throat extensions because of the size of the humble pies they ll be eating. Come on jack. Prove me right. Show them what you re made off.
I doubt it too Adam but hey atleast we have Crowley coming through. I know he’s not a local lad but at least he’s English. Cheer up Adam 😀
I like Jack and I like his arrogant shithead attitude. He’s got something that is bred in north Londoners. Charlie George had it too.
Stan.:)
🙂 even.
Goon, British Core? Arsenal have the most overrated British players.
toral tell wenger its full time he gives u your chance as much as Wilshire as got
Lol Adam were you around in the glorious 70s?? I feel that was when being an arsenal fan was the “in” thing. We won the double twice in the 70s right? Wish I was around then. Some great players too. Loan Brady et al. You Islington lads had it going on then. Damn lucky bastards 😀
I’m sure jon toral dad family prays he gets his chance at arsenal
Adam, I reckon will be pleased that there’s water between most of us…. 😉
Liam*
Villa next Rico, Sunday 13.30pm. Should be interesting…
I’m sure Toral will get his chance very soon, bit difficult now as he’s out on loan…
DNA I ll remind you soon. Lol
Very Bt, lunchtime ko and all that… Lol
I was Stan. My first wife was an Islington girl and she reckoned she was related to the Queen so I figured that if I married her I might end up being in line for the British throne. She was, as I later discovered, insane. But the upshot was that I went to Highbury a lot and saw some good stuff.
I think.
I have undergone many mind-altering moments since then though.
Stan re: Ginge ?
Groggy times Adam?
Hahahahahahah Adam stop brianna is taking a nap don’t want to wake that little devil up. Gee do you ever get serious? God in heaven. Lol
Goon, you sound like AW. lol. Were you one people who was asking for Le Coq to be sold and keep CJ? I don’t trust your judgement with players with potential. lol
Kev ts lost his mojo a while back. When he said santi was shit through the middle. Lol
Groggy indeed BT.
If only you knew the sordid truth Stan. 🙂
Anyway off for the evening…
Liverpool, the gift that keeps on giving…
Night All
Don’t corrupt him Adam…. 😉 😉
We’ll keep it between ourselves then Rico. 🙂
Night Kev, thanks again for today’s post….
Cheers AK
Phew Adam… 😉
Adam that could be the title of your autobiography…The Sordid Truth
DNA lecoq was in limbo no one and I mean no one knew he ll turn out the way he did. If you said you did then I ll want some of that ganja you re smoking when I visit you in new York 😀
Night Kev, nice piece of reading for a Sunday morning..
The shocking truth… Lol
See you Kev.
BT. It wouldn’t be a bad title but, something a mate said on the phone a while ago has stuck with me and I’ve always thought I’d use that. I’ll tell you when we hook up. 🙂
I agree with u gDna ox is not that good in my view he is inconsistently bad most of the time. .he doesn’t score r assist i don’t see he has a strong point. He needs work and a lot. Wenger put up with too much average form players. I remember denilson thou he was really good before that back injury
Ok Rico, Stan, BT and anyone else still around, I am off for the day. Night all.
Dennilson good??
That’s just blown your judgement to pieces…. 😉
Night Adam. Me too I think, it’s been a long day…
Night Goonster, BT and all….
Rico 😀 I just let out a peal of laughter and my daughter is up. Denison good?? Now that’s comedy. Lol lol lol
Wilshere was never a cm at the youth level it was always on the wing
Night rico, night Adamant 😀 you old goat.
Have a good evening Adam, looking forward to that day.
Night Boss……
I heard that Stan. 🙂
Yes denilson was good at the start before he went to the garbage side.. Go and check dude
Lol Adam good night…Mrs A ll be have your hide for keeping her waiting. Run along now.
My judgement blow to pieces lol yea right.
Shanice are we talking about the same denilson?? Or maybe a different one?
Arteta was good flamini even wilshere peak at 17
Surely there couldn’t be two Dennilsons
Goon, I expect you to change your tune soon, there is still 5 months to go in the PL.
I give denilson credit. . His inclusion in the team had nothing to do with nationality. .re no english player in arsenal team.. So you all r saying denilson was never good and wenger played a clueless player who was lacking technical skill and technique? ??he never showed any form of quality when he started out? Thats what u all r saying?? ???
Nice read Kev. I think I am a whining gooner and rightly so cause I know arsenal are capable to win great stuff but they flatter to deceive. The press love to brand us negatively alot Chelsea have 15 points in 15 games yet nobody is calling it a crisis. Still lack a solid dm but when that is sorted (i hope) and the guys come in we’ll have a go at it
Alright DNA we ll see lol
Goon, i want some of that meth you was smoking earlier when you use Joel Campbell and Hazard in the same sentence. lol.
Denilson was no good u all say. .yet he played 96 games for arsenal scoring 6 goals as the dm. 2006-2013 he was a captain at the u17 level for brazil.. He was never physical. . His strenghts was passing thats y arsenal could keep the ball so well in midfield he and cesc. . Song and cesspool wasn’t as good in ball retention because song wasn’t as technical as denilson but physical. He could read the game well too. Again i say at the start denilson was a good player before he fall off. . My view.. .
Evening all
Campbell is better than the ox by a country mile..
DNA, by your logic, Wenger must be an absolute genius.
I mean, to have no decent players yet be two points off the lead……….
MG, I remember reading that Od never played football in a side until he was a teenager.
His dad coached him one on one until that time.
I wonder if that tells the story now, because he has all the skills, no question.
Campbell could well grow into a hell of a player.
I reckon he has the tools, he just needs experience and he’s getting some now.
Nacho is the one who continually impresses.
I liked him early on, but he’d have to be one of our first players picked now.
The physical aspect of his game has improved so much that not only does he NOT agent out muscled, he does the out muscling quite often.
That should read Ox, of course, MG 🙂
Great post Kev,
but don’t want to spoil our win, we have to see next few games as the vital games await like olym next.
A win with 2 goals margin. Fingers crossed, but still hope for the best result.
Good post. However, there was one very worrying aspect of the performance, the way we left huge gaps between midfield and defence. It was like going back in time to before Le Coq, nothing had changed. Ramsey charged forward with abandon and Flamini was easily bypassed. With Campbell and Ox on the wings we also have less protection for the fullbacks and we could easily have been 3 down by half time. Bellerin in particular needs to adjust his play while we are missing Santi/Le Coq. If we play like this against top teams we are likely to get hammered just like we did 2 seasons ago, you simply can’t leave so much room in behind and we were more than a little lucky yesterday.
So glad to see Theo back, I like Giroud but we really need the option of Theo to change things up. Can we expect Theo to start wide right next time out? Ox was dreadful yesterday and the goal aside Campbell offered nothing of substance.
If we fail to win the league this time around it will still have been an immensely entertaining season thanks to Maureen’s Meltdown over at the Bridge.
Cracking post Allan Hahahahahahaha
One thing a few people have touched on is Ramsey bombing forward.
Santi goes forward, doesn’t he?
Difference has been with Ramsey playing right, and even Sanchez Higher up on the left, Santi has constant cover, so is Ramsey to blame for pushing forward, or for not being on the right and covering himself??
Bit harsh.
Nice review on Flam and rams positioning, Allan.
But what can I say, we live in a world of arsenal that we have to accept every wenger’s decision, that was not to buy for outfield players in last TW. Flam and rams is not original DM, and Chambers is not convincing yet. It’s down to the ……management that got us to this repeated mistakes.
This link article can sum up the pathetic circle:
http://metro.co.uk/2015/12/04/painfully-accurate-graphic-sums-up-what-arsenal-fans-go-through-every-season-5543897/
Sigh………
Those repeated mistakes have us second in the league.
Just saying……
Articles in The Metro are best ignored really.
Fucking hell, someone has been smoking some serious shit…..Denilson a good player??
Ah the metro, what piece shite that paper is unlike the ……. B.R!
Aaahhh the Bleacher boys….absolute legends lol.
Morning lads.
I carry The Bleacher with me wherever I go. I find it comforting.
Adam, I have their poster above my bed.
Scott. Morning mate. As do I.
Morning Lee, Scott, Adam, and Rico of course,
Metro indeed is pice of crap news regarding transfer gossip, I admit it.
But I am not talking transfer metro crap, just a funny circle for over 10 years.
Peace, don’t kill the messenger.
The cynical amongst us understand the circle very well. No intention to criticise the messenger at all. 🙂
Ruben Neves was scouted by Arsenal.
Interesting, well as long as AW buy, I can live with that.
Xhaka and Aubameyang would be nice. Come on Arsene, spend little bit the money, please.
He has to spend.
No choice.
None.
Zip.
But will he Hahahaha.
He’s really a stubborn bastard of a thing, though he is ours 🙂
Tell me about Neves, guys.
Heard about him only in the last few days.
Scot this link i think can sum up his review:
http://outsideoftheboot.com/2015/10/20/scout-report-ruben-neves-portos-talented-young-midfielder/
interesting young talent, I already checked some of his youtube clips.
The prick had to spend in the summer…… he definitely has to in January!
Orfeverie no offence meant mate!
Hahaha…Lee, I forgive you, mate.
But will you forgive wenger? hahaha…
no offense either, just a joke mate.
Seems a kid with a bright future.
Isn’t he the captain? Fucking young one at that….
The thing with this neves style of play, he seems to be a deep lying playmaker nature role, same as Cazorla, arteta.
So it’s kinda we are well stocked with this type player.
I think what we really need a hardman more type like our Le Coq type, like Carvalho or Wanyama.
But like I say, as long as wenger finally buy any player, I will take ruben, cuz it will be like a miracle for us if wenger indeed buy.
Mornimg all
Santi has had an operation, will be out until April.
Morning All…
18 shopping days to Christmas…
And 25 days before the January Window opens…
Rabiot on loan?
Don’t think that he is the answer…
Morning Kev,
Well I already buy new christmas tree along with the presents for my little kids.
Should I say the presents from Santa to my kids?
Fingers crossed that maybe Wenger will wear Santa’s red suit when he announced his new players bought this January window.
Orfevrerie. Where are you based?
Morning Kev.
Near Scot’s Australia, Adam my friend.
It’s Indonesia. Bali Island the popular visit for our tourists.
Garuda Indonesia a sponsor for Liverpool in Klopp’s jacket if you saw once, it’s an airway company.
Ah, that sounds like a lovely part of the world. Seems the HH crowd are spread far and wide. 🙂
Well adam,
you know that in Indonesia, we are the second largest fanbase of gooners behind man utd.
that’s why we are very eager when will we grab the league title once more?
COYG.
Adam, don’t get cocky….a short plane trip and we can be there to spoil the peace 🙂
Excellent news that. I bet the club love selling all those shirts over there. Even if the money does go straight into the bank. 🙂
Scott. If ever I get that way I will drop in on you first. 🙂
Morning Scott, Lee, Kev, Adam, Orfevrerie, Mg and all…
Don’t think we’ll see Santi again this season…. 🙁
Well adam, scott,
I’ve trie to save few rupees, maybe if I saved to around 2000 or 3000 quids, I will go to emirates match maybe next season. Fingers crossed.
Morning Rico. Or perhaps ever again in an Arsenal shirt?
There’s always a room here, Adam…..and a beer, or twelve 🙂
I’ll keep some of that port, as well………
What a day yesterday was for Newcastle. They beat the Dippers and more importantly, Geordie girl Vicky won I’m a Celebrity…. 😉
Santi has been fantastic for us.
Is he in the last year of his contract?
Rico. Are you a fan of the jungle thing then?
Scott. Thanks mate. Much appreciated.
Orfeverie, a new Christmas tree, that sounds fantastic buddy…
As for your prezzies, you could say some are from Mum n Dad and some from Santa.
It’s a magical time for your kids, enjoy it mate ?
Rico, can anything be more important than the Scousers being brought back to earth 🙂 🙂
And a Good Morning to you Adam…
How is Mrs A..?
Pass on my regards mate… ☺️
Never a problem, Adam….you all made me feel truly welcome last year.
Good question Adam, but I hope he stays and his contract has a while to run doesn’t it?
I had little choice but to become a fan Adam…. 😉
Quite enjoy it though, love all the squabbles….
Hi Kev. Still laid up with me waiting on her mate. She says hello.
It does Rico but you never know what might happen if Wenger walks.
We could have our own show. I nominate Scott, Lee, Kev and GDNA as the first four in the jungle.
Adam, that’d be sensational viewing, but find a gig for Stan as well hahahahahahahaha
What am I thinking? Absolutely. Stan must be there and Rico of course. 🙂
Morning Rico, Scott, Riz and All…
It’s quite a dull, glum looking day in London Town…
Yes, Rico must keep the peace-well, try to lol
If Wenger walks, perhaps Santi will be played in a different position Adam by a new manager…
I doubt I’d be peacemaker Scott…. 😉
Rico, just a stare and we’d all settle down 🙂 🙂
Me neither Rico. 🙂
Adam, that would make for a few interesting bush tucker trials (yes I occasionally watch it Rico)…
I would certainly go into the jungle, but you would have to join us Adam, along with Spectrum, Mick and the guy from Untold…
Can we invite Joe Say, as well??
That would never work Scott 😉
We agree Adam… 😉
Kev, I’d nominate Jose for the big spider… or the snake pit! lol
We are in that dreadful blue strip again on Wednesday….
Rico, we seem to have a dire record in that kit………
My son played his last game of rugby (under 12’s) on Saturday to do an Arsenal….. they went the whole season unbeaten!!!!
Conceding 39 points all season!
I know Scott, we are doomed on Wednesday… 😉
You must be very proud Lee….
Yeah super duper…. had a Northampton Saint’s scout watching them too.
Lee, that sounds brilliant mate…
What position does he play?
Well done Lee Jr 🙂
Full back Kev… not the biggest player but loves tackling and he’s fairly quick, reminds me of a young Brudder Adam! 😉
Fingers crossed you hear from him soon Lee….
Yeah Lee, I think that Adam in his youth, was more into all-in wrestling…
Or something like that… ?
Full- back eh, that’s one of the glamourous positions isn’t it?
I don’t think he’s good enough yet……
Tough position, Lee.
All we can do is look after our son, first, and the potential player, second.
We constantly ask ourselves if our actions are in Sean’s best interests, or ours.
We believe we are doing right, but we have to keep raising the question.
Your boy will be fine 🙂
New post up now
Maybe its the westmoreland highgrade weed. . If ox is seen as good by most of u here.. What r u guys smoking?? .. Denilson was far more technical than ox wilshere. . He was good when he started out at arsenal yes he fell off never return to the level he started at and got worse .. No one here can tell me otherwise. . Wenger is stubborn not clueless. .
