Morning all.
Spring is not far away as today is the shortest day of the year. Hoorah!
The transfer window is not far away either, just ten days to be precise and there’s a few headlines going around this morning which suggest Arsene Wenger is ready to get stuck into the January transfer window and early! Not sure how much substance there is to such stories but imo, that’s just what the manager needs to do. No leaving things until the final day as we need a body or two added to the squad asap. Player(s) who will make a difference and give the squad more depth and more strength. Come on Arsene, you know you have to!
Anyway, before all of that, we’ve got a few fixtures to play, a lot really in a very short space of time and tonight is the first of four in less that two weeks. Ouch, they are really going to test the legs of the players. Three of the matches are at The Emirates though so not too much travelling.
Tonight’s is probably the toughest against Man City who have one of the best, if not the best squad in the league and they are many ‘experts’ favourite to lift the big trophy in May. They have Aguero fit and ready to play tonight but he’s been out for a while, so hopefully he’s a bit rusty should he start but they are missing key players in Kompany, Fernando, Zabaleta and Nasri.
Our squad on paper is pretty darn good but as always, many injuries leave it looking rather depleted with Coquelin, Cazorla, Wilshere, Welbeck, Rosicky and the captain all still out. Thankfully, that injury list hasn’t grown over the last couple of weeks which makes a nice change. Alexis Sanchez has returned to training but there’s still doubts as to whether he’ll feature or not. I’d say if there’s a doubt, leave him out because another tear of his hamstring and he’ll be gone for a long time. We can’t afford that.
City have many dangerous players, Silva, De Bruyne, Aguero, Sterling, Toure and Bony to name just a few but they’ve not been in the best of form, in fact their defence has been all over the place without their captain to steady the ship. Stoke battered them good and proper during their last away match a couple of weeks ago and could, should have won far more convincingly than the 2-0 scoreline. Their last league match at home saw a huge a deflection off a Swansea player very late on in the game to give them maximum points and only Joe Hart’s heroics spared them another defeat.
Hardly convincing one would say…
During the same period of time, we despatched Sunderland in an unconvincing style, went to Greece and won 3-0 in what must have been a very draining match both mentally and physically and then a trip to Aston Villa was overcome with ease. So much so, during the second half the players took their foot of the gas and had a bit of a breather.
Our players are in a good place right now. The last two fixtures were against the right opposition and at the right time after a quite awful November and those three victories will have done the confidence a world of good. Ramsey has found some good form, Ozil is on fire, Campbell doesn’t stop trying or working, Walcott is back looking more hungry than ever and Ollie is scoring. I reckon plenty of those players will get time and space on the ball tonight.
If the game doesn’t go our way, we need to be clever, organised and disciplined. Ramsey and Flamini especially. Mertesacker and Bellerin will no doubt be the way through for City in their mind so other players need to be switched on and help out should that be the case and if by chance City get a grip of the game the defensive unit as a whole needs to be as sharp as a button if they are to help Petr Cech break David James record.
This is a big one. It’s 3rd v’s 2nd place and as much as it’s not a title decider, it’s a chance to put a four point gap between us and City and we have to take it.
Kick this festive period off with a massive three points and push on from here because this really could be our season.
Have a great Monday guys…
Morning again,
Platini and Platter have been banned. lol
Good read btw.
I will go for a 2-1 scoreline but it looks like another draw…
3-1, Aaron a hat trick…..morning all.
Wath, a Lightweight??
Harsh lol.
I’m Seans driver so I’d better behave 🙂 🙂
Can’t rely on you two then…. Guess you didn’t read the post… 😉
Summer signings… January signings of course….
I reckon he’d be better off being your driver Scott……….. Harsh………. Not at all, we had you down as a bottomless pit and now you coming up with some old rubbish about a 7am kick off…!
Sad……….
Rico, I’ve given up trying to predict what will happen during a transfer window after declaring we were certainties to make signings last time 🙂
Old and sad, Wath Hahahahahaha
I’m a shot duck, nowadays.
I think Rabiot might be a goer….. still need a DM though!
I’m saying nuffin Scott…………
Lee my good man….. how’s it diddling..?
January or summer signing Rico I skipped that line? lol.
So do I Lee..
And the ones in between Ts… I’ll get you back… lol
Ditto Scott, I was so positive back then…
All good mate, had a fairly boozey day’s shooting on Saturday…. so low profile for me!
Didn’t shoot Scott did ya… he says he a duck………!
Rico would save me and give me a good home if I were a duck 🙂 🙂
Feed you up, although you don’t need much of that and then I can stick you on the spit…!
I would Scott.. 🙂
Blatter banned from all football stuff for 8 years… Good!!
I need to watch my back now..as they say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned… lol
Adam , a reply to your Holt query on the last thread.
As for transfers , I will believe them when and if they happen. Tonight I can see both managers gambling with Aguero and Sanchez it’s too important for bragging rights not to.
And Platini…. 🙂
Rico, that Wath is a mean guy 🙂
Quite simply rico, Arsene needs to add new weapons to his Arsenal this January, if he doesn’t, stick him up in front of a firing squad and put him out of his misery.
As for Blatter, he’s just sorry he got caught !
We have a great chance tonite, Citeh ain’t that good on the road, could be a bit of a humdinger.
Morning all.
Exactly Ts… lol
Funny how Dean sent Rondon (spelling) off yesterday yet let Costa get away with what he did during our match with Chelsea…
He is Scott, ruthless…
Morning Micko, spot on although the firing squad is a tad extreme… lol
Super stuff, Rico. 🙂
Transfers are the lifeblood of the blogs and any good rumours are music to my ears.
You may remember that years ago I said I had no time to read endless speculation about the players we were allegedly ‘interested’ in, and that would be true, but times change, and whereas AW always had an excuse for not buying then, now with all the money swilling around football there can be no excuses.
Well, except if bar stewards like Citeh, Yoonited and the Chavs, not to mention Inter, Barcs and Real keep their noses out of our business that is! 😀
[Why is WATH stuffing a duck or something?] 🙂
Hb, AW had no excuse back in the summer as the money was there… He just chose not to sign anyone which was rather foolish to say the least…
Good old Dean… I wonder what he is getting for christmas?
No Sir Red-Nose pulling his strings…
No HB I am just waiting to see if Lee shot Scott whilst hunting and if so I shall have to go and rent a rather large spit cos Scott is a rather round….! I reckon he could be a bit cheeeewy though…!
Ts, now there is someone who needs stuffing for Xmas….. violently and painfully with red hot implements…!
Another job hopefully Ts..
🙂 Wath…
I wonder if he will pass a soberity test before boxing day game?
Without getting Micko to tell me that there is no conspiracy, 😉 where is it that after today we are the only ones playing Saturday, Monday and Saturday over the festive period whilst the others are playing Monday, Tuesday and Saturday?
I wonder what AW will say about that?
Transfer windows, don’t you hate to love them and love to hate them…
Total wind-ups, the lit of them…
Newspapers/Media full of absolute shite…
Agents linking their over rated, overpaid moneymakers to all and sundry, causing discord in the fan base…
Pundits talking garbage.
Click-bait websites having a collective orgasm over numerous rumours stolen from each other…
It gets more nonsensical with every passing window….
I can’t wait ?
I wonder whether we will be seeing Cesc on holiday after the festive period after booed last weekend by his own fans who thought he was teh second coming just over a year ago…
They really only wanted Cesc because they thought they were getting another one over us after Cole . Like at Barca where only a few were prepared to accept him back they could not wait to have a go at him when things got a bit rough.
While turning the spit, Wath, you could serenade him with your vuvuzela — though that is probably a bit manky by now! 🙂
Potter. Thank you very much for taking the time with that. Interesting proposition for us but might be a bit too far.
Transfer windows Kev – I love them… 🙂
Sure hope Wenger doesn’t get tempted to throw Fabregas a lifeline….
Henry, Turning the spit, no chance it’s why they have electric motors…!
I am told he is more inclined to want a playing of the old didgeridoo……….. I’ll leave that to Kev…..
If the area interests you take a trip in the spring it is really quite nice on the coast , a bit windy but bracing I think they call it. Thing about Norfolk is that it’s a great place to visit but to live here permanently you have to consider a lot of lifestyle changes due to the traveling time to London if that’s where you work.
The Pigs is well worth a look at on the net though . It might just tempt Mrs Adam.
http://metro.co.uk/2015/12/18/arsenal-fan-robbie-lyle-takes-down-tottenham-supporter-in-epic-rap-battle-5573690/
The rap is funny! Not normally my thing, more Brudder Adam’s!
Rico, we have quite a close knit and unified dressing room, so Wenger has to be very careful who he brings into that environment. You only have to look a few mile towards West London and with the Chelsea experience to see how only one or two rotten eggs can turn a happy squad toxic.
I done enough rapping this month…. 😉
Kev, yes, he’ll have to be quite selective but to be fair, he hasn’t often got his judgement wrong in that department. Adebayor and one or two others were a bit odd, but in the main, he’s signed team players…
Rapping…. Ain’t that what sainsbury’s bags r for…?
No conspiracies tsgh, only I had to call in a favour for the Monday nite game lol.
If only… Red and Gold in my house….
Rumour that Man U are making an announcement when the NYSE opens at 2.30 GMT…..
🙂 Micko…
Potter- where do you think cesc can go from chelsea?Can you see Cesc accepting to be a squad player.
Klopp is another man whose daggers are being prepped…
Glazers selling up Lee?
Italia probably , if the raids on their midfielders take place in the summer they will want replacements and a fresh start might do both him and a new club some good. Despite everything he is still a good player but his politics have been well off . He left Barca and was never forgiven by many of their supporters although the players wanted him back. When that didn’t work he was wanted by some here but not everyone and Wenger probably was smarting from him leaving so he took the next best thing but his heart was never really in it. Milan, Turin or Rome would probably be his best bet from a football and wifey shopping perspective too.
L.v.G binned?
Glazers selling up Lee?
Maybe Kroenke is buying them ………………….It is Christmas after all.
Could be LvG going. Mourinho to take his place….
Wouldn’t mind that if it meant him selling his shares in Arsenal….
Lee, did you see The Graham Norton Show at the weekend?
According to reports the former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has agreed a 5 year deal with Premier League giants Manchester United.
The Portuguese manager has been sacked from his post at Chelsea due to a poor start to the season and is now being linked with an immediate return to management.
Spanish media outlet Fichajes have claimed that Mourinho to Manchester United is not yet official but the Portuguese has an agreement with the Red Devils.
The peace and quiet didn’t last long then.
Why am I not surprised…..
No Rico I didn’t, in fact when I got home from shooting I couldn’t even see my house!
Poor old Mata if PP goes there….
Sloe-gasms are a killer….
Potter- apparently the wiggly snake assured yanited via his agent Mendez when they met to release di Maria that he would join them next summer or when ever LvG left…
🙂 Lee, had a few then? Good for you…
There was one of the Star Wars actresses on there, the American who has a big part apparently. She had her Frenchie with her, he was so cute…
You know, I always had my doubts about the moon landings…
You are onto something the Old ladygetting cesc plus £40m for Pogba.
Will Mrs seaman want to live in Turin though?
Potter. Just checked out the Pigs. Looks great. We have been getting sent interesting places from all over Norfolk, Suffolk and north Essex. We would need to be near a station that could bring us into London for the games. We would probably stay over in town for the evening ones as the schlepp home by car might be a pain.
As far as work goes,being a freelance means that all I need is a decent internet connection.
I might even tempt Brudder Lee up. 🙂
Emergency vet yesterday for our little one….. £304 for 30mins!!!!
Just see the pics of Fat Frank’s wedding.
A memorial to excess.
Brudder. Is he ok though?
As long as there’s a sofa Brudder Adam can graft…..
Duncan Lee? Is he ok??
Seems ok thanks Adam!
Lee 🙂
Saw Chris earlier.
It’ll be a green Christmas….
A green bauble?
Incredible Hulk, he had green baubles!
Green tea with a green Thai curry…
My lad just came up with a ticket for the match tonight, happy days…. ?
Any good Brudder?
Good luck with that Kev , face value I hope.
Weather has changed here howling wind and driving rain , just right for a little drive.
Afternoon Rico and the House, just a short visit.
Great news about the ticket Kev.
don’t forget they want you there early an hour before K/O
Bad day for the u21 lost at home to Villa 2-1
P45 time for Gatting long over due me thinks.
Latta
Dunno Brudder. When I get home after the game perhaps?
True Rick- Gattings record has been poor .
Since Neil Banfield got promoted the u-21 merry go round has been worring…
You can’t beat a green Christmas..
I see Arsenal plan to play “Good Old Arsenal” during the game as a tribute to Jimmy Hill..
Bt, I didn’t realise how much of an impact Jimmy Hill had on football!
Showing your age Lee…. 😉
The story about Coventry being sponsored by Talbot cars and the F.A saying you can’t have the car sign across the shirt….. so Hill told them he’d change Coventry’s name to “Coventry Talbot”…..the FA backed down!!!!
Bt- Nice on Arsenal…
but on the other hand without Jimmy hill footballers will be earning £70k a year tops.. lol
Yeah, in the cheap seats Potter…
Had to go home to get a coat, it’s a filthy night…
Rick, I’m only going for you… ?
Gatting hasn’t been a rip-roaring success mate. Maybe the Academy has to spread its net to get in some new coaches…
Rick- have you seen any of Maitland-Niles’s games recently…
He seems to be one of the inform loanees out there… 22 games thus far is quite impressive.
Kev, we normally win when you go so pleased you have a ticket… Lol
That’s just put the mockers on it…………………………………
No – we are winning tonight, or at least not losing…. Lol
I also think we are gonna win…. No idea why but i can feel it in my vodka…!
I can feel it in my Aldi carbonated water…. 🙂
Fair play to ya Kev, slumming it with the peasants in the cheap seats, don’t think I could do it, your a better man than me.
Seriously, they are all over the place at the back without Kompany and I don’t think Aguero will be risked, certainly not at the start. Same with us, leave Alexis out and the worst thing to do would be bringing him on if we need a goal….
Agree with you Rico, keep him on the bench…been looking forward to this match all weekend, any team news yet?
No changes for tonight’s team, same starting 11 as the Villa game.
No Alexis in the squad….
Your wish is my command Bt… Lol
No Alexis in the squad….Is Debuchy injured?
LOL, just seen it Rico….
I see the Kun is playing, BFG and Co will need to be on their toes…
Maybe Debuchy is off Bt
Let’s hope his hamstring goes again… 😉
Evening Rico and the house
I fancy us tonight
2-0
Evening Mg.
Evening Mg, don’t want to jinx the boys, so i’ll keep it to myself..lol
Coyrrgs!!!!
How was that not a booking!!
come on boy wonder!
Anything other than 3 points will be disappointing!
COYGS!!!
Campbell looking a bit dodgy
Not his best start Lewis.
Two City have got away with now, both as we are on the break…
Can’t fault his work rate though
What is the ref up to?!!
Lucky
What a stunning goal!
THEO!!!
theoooo
No, he’s certainly a worker Lewis.
Goal no 100 in 2015
Shocking officiating tonight!
Ollie Ollie Ollie…..
Another assist for Ozil… 🙂
og12 you beauty
Bossing it.
Well worth the weekend wait, now finish them OFF!!!!
What a thug Otamendi….
Coyrrgs!
What a miss…. Shame for him
Should be 4
This is hotting up….
Come on!!!
One more so I can get out from behind the sofa…. Lol
Well played Campbell, what a little fighter he was tonight…
Well payed Joel!
Need to get hold of and keep the ball, it just keeps coming back …
Bugger!
We didn’t need that..
Tense ten minutes now..
Great goal. Ramsey you twat
Every time we get the ball it’s panic…
Theo MOTM
Mine too. Great goal and great defensive play too….
Giro u’d has been excellent as well
COME ON!!!!!!
Evening all. Behind sofa time!
Yessssss
What a great win. Well played Arsenal…. For most of it… Lol
Get in there! Top performance.
GET IN!!!!!!!!
Wouldn’t be Arsenal without the shit yourself ten minutes at the end.
How many chances did we spurn? Some team is going to get a good spanking when our chances are taken more often..
Hopefully, that will be Southampton…
Great result, and just heard the commentator say the last two occasions we were second in the league at Christmas, we were crowned champions… 🙂
Whenever we’ve been second in the league at Christmas time we went on to win the league (twice)
#justsaying
Boom Rico!
🙂 Lee…
Arsenal fans singing to Raheem Sterling “you’re just a shit Walcott!)
Love it..
Loved it too when Theo got back, tackled Sterling and came away with the ball…
Carragher is such a w****r!!
I’m off, night all…
Night Rico, glad i can’t hear him…….
We’ve got twice as many points as the chavs!
night all!
🙂 Nice victory!
Anyway we must change the line up with different players in next two games: at Southampton, maybe this one if everybody is fit; but on the 28th, we must change the line up.
We (fans) must don’t forget we must visit totts, Mu, citizens, Liverpool…
Jm, don’t be such a kill joy, we Gooners can dream can’t we and I guarantee we’ll smash the citizens away lol.
Scott, I’m disappointed, word on Sesame Street is Totteringham will be touring Australia pre-season 2016, seems they’ll let anyone in these days !
Arsene on the box tonite confirming Alexis will be out until the middle of January.
Why do we do this inviting teams on to us when we are winning quite comfortably . We lost the midfield with the substitutions and started giving the ball away and their possession stats went through the roof.You could sense the nerves in the crowd amongst those that were partisan and we gave away a needless goal, we don’t do things easily do we ? Incidentally Scott I have just realised that Ramsey reminds me of Sylvan Wiltord ,loads of energy, box to box , gets to the right place at the right time , scores spectacular goals , but gives the ball away in the most inappropriate places at the most inappropriate times.
Potter, I’ve yet to see anyone quite master the Helicopter Maneuver quite like Sylvan Wiltord week in, week out, Aaron just isn’t in the same league lol.
If we’re gonna win this league this year we’re gonna have to do it the hard way…..what’s new !
Nite Gooners.
Ah yes the pirouette , I think Campbell’s been practicing that .
Great win on Citeh.
Although we’re all excited about our winning league chances, but wenger still have to strengthen with DM and ST position.
Come on wenger, loose your tight purse ego and just get the reinforcement we needed FFS, you won’t get this biggest opportunity this sG.eason. It’s a make or break.
COYG.
Well that was an enjoyable evening…
ManCity had a lot of possession but didn’t do anything with it…
I thought we pretty much controlled the game, ceded a lot of space and hit them on the break, similar to the Bayern game.
Campbell was very impressive and we missed him when he went off.
Thought that BFG played well and Monreal was outstanding, as was Bellerin.
I’m not sure that Wenger can rotate too much at Southampton and the players have 5 days to recover.
Bournmouth have more injuries than Arsenal and have to play home to Crystal Palace on the same day we play the Saints.
Then we face up on the 28th.
Both teams will be tired, so no advantage to either side…
Then 5 days rest before we face Newcastle, so I think the same players can negotiate the next 3 games in 12 days…
Shame about Alexis, we really could have done with him…
I bet he overdid it in training, trying to get fit for ManCity….
Wenger, you really need to buy at least two players, because I fear we ain’t gonna see Welbeck much this season, if at all…
I thought the referee was very slack, if wasn’t a difficult game to control, but he let Cuty get away with some roughhouse treatment, especially of Giroud, who was constantly manhandled…
The XI that Wenger picked, is the best he has left, and with the exception of AOC, I’m not sure anyone else on the bench can come in without seeing a noticible drop in the teams performance…
Gibbs wasn’t convincing and Chambers is a bit flaky, so we have to go with what we have until Alexis and Wilshere are fit…
Coquelin, Cazorla and Welbeck are too far off, whilst Arteta is unreliable.
The FACup vs Sunderland is where we might see some rotation. I just hope it doesn’t prove as costly as our trip to Hillsborough.
Sanchez is due back on the 9th January and Rosicky on the 24th…
Great to see Theo play so impressively , he’s always linked up well with Giroud and they both earned their goals with hard work and a lot of running…
Flamini and Ramsey are doing quite well, shame Aaron was so wasteful with that chance to make it 3-0…
Flamini, when he isn’t saving the planet, has slotted into Coq’s job and is making a fist of it. Well done SuperFlam… ?
Mick, there are times when you just have grin and bear it…
I’d much rather be up in the posh seats with Adam, but be the stoic Englishman that I am, I kept a stiff upper lip and joined with the lower classes for the evening…
But I can fully understand how difficult it would have been for you…
How on earth you suffer all those plastics in your local, is a mystery to me old chap…
Night All…
What a fine day, morning all,
If we had bought in the summer we’d have been streets ahead. No one could have predicted the meltdown at Chelsea so that is a massive bonus for us. Man Utd were always going to be a bit hit and miss, so our nearest rivals are Man City. We’ve just beaten them with our second centre midfield two of Flamini and Ramsey.
It is completely there for us. Wenger needs to act in January, arguably will never have a better chance than this before the pipe and slippers.
A win versus Man City doesn’t negate our need for a new signing, it increases it. It makes our dream of a league title that much more plausible. Let’s act from a position of strength for once and not just rely on crossing our fingers and hoping for the best. Let’s move in the transfer market for a key signing or two to make our hopes become a reality. There’s still 21 games to go and anyone putting together a traditional second half run of wins can easily win the title, even from a way back.
It’ll be interesting to see if we’re top come January how that impacts on AW’s desire for reinforcements.
Wanyama for DM
Ighalo for ST
Mahrez for winger.
Those would be great additions for us.
People are reading too much into the result.
Let’s just bloody well enjoy it.
What a performance, and what a result.
Best game I’ve EVER seen Theo play and his work rate was unTheo like.
If he keeps they up, he will become he player we all hoped for.
Campbell…..superb.
Ozil…same old, same old-it’s just more fans appreciate him now 🙂
Ramsey.
Well, he was sensational again.
The odd mistake occurs, but if he played it totally safe throughout 90 minutes, he’d be nowhere near as effective.
Koscielny is still as good as any CB in the world.
Cech was Cech.
Everyone was terrific.
Morning all last night’s result had me as high as a kite did not sleep very well but it was worth it.
Morning guys..
Great result, shame about conceding though….
Alexis set-back? Nah, just a winter break which he needed….
Morning guys.
It’s been a lovely day 🙂
Wasn’t a bad night either… 😉
Morning Scott, Rico and all,
Agree with you up there Scott, another 3 points…
we have a biased schedule next:- Saturday, Monday and then saturday. At the moment, the pressure is on…
good to finally see Ozil getting appreciated; then again football fans change their views like teh british weather so… lol
The squad is thin as fuck and stretched it’s madness we didn’t add any outfield players in the summer!
Someone pointed out the fact that Ozil (99) is second only to Messi (100) in the number of assists in the last five seasons. So, after last night’s brace of assists he’s number one then with 101….. wow and people doubted his ability!?!?
Citeh aren’t the same without Kompany, but we were missing a few, as well 🙂
I’ve never heard such biased commentary as I endured this morning.
Not sure who it was, and I really don’t care but you’d have sworn we got belted.
Pundits and commentators, do your job ya muppets.
Who doubted his ability, Lee?
Not this little black duck, and very few on here but hey, some even doubted Ramsey a few years back 🙂 🙂 🙂
No question that the masses turn on certain players, and often it seems very harsh, but this guy is pure, utter class.
Thank goodness everyone know appreciates what we have.
lol didn’t know you were a lil black duck?
Morning Ts.
Lee, I really worry after last night. Some of those players were on their last legs. Gawd knows how they’ll recover in just four days, especially knowing another game comes just two days later.
AW can’t really rotate as he’s got no-one to rotate with, not without upsetting the balance. Ozil needs a breather, but without him, we just won’t be as potent..
Rocky for one Scott! I tried to put him straight………….
I still doubt Ramsey… 😉
Rico, I doubted Theo but if he plays that regularly, never again.
Lee, where is Rocky??
Agreed Rico re. tired legs but oddly from the database no player is currently in the red though… 😉
What about the Theo doubters? 😉
He’s playing out of his skin these days…..
Theo is always better on the lhs; that is where he started under ‘arry.
Theo is a big game player…; he has come back from injury like he had never been away.
He is fresher; he has Monreal behind him instead of CJ25 so less defensive responsibility.
Flamster and King Ramsey covered ground like an E-3 sentry
Hey, a week ago we were all blasting BFG but he was immense.
They all were.
H’e’s a totally different player imo Scott, and I think it’s down to Alexis and Ozil. Perhaps he now knows when/if he moves, they’ll find him. Also, and finally, he wants to defend which again could be down to seeing how much work Alexis puts in…
Ts, that might change after last night… Hopefully not though…
Don’t know Scott… not heard from him in ages.
Well I doubt the entire team, manager, fans and backroom staff…….. 😉
Agree re playing on the left Ts, been begging for AW to play him there for years. The Newcastle game a few years ago proved what he could do fro there, just a shame AW kept him on the right…
Scott, Agree on Merts last night too, he had a good game….
New impetus in Jan and we’ll win the PL imo (which I never thought Wenger would do, said whilst eating my hat!)
Was figures are loaded later today after a warm down I will check if we have players approaching the redline.
Monreal, Bellerin and Og12 were apparently the most likely to get in the red.
Rico, when Santi set about impressing his national coach in the lead up to the WC, he lifted his work rate, and he’s been twice the player ever since.
I reckon Theos watched Alexis and it’s working wonders.
Lee, he’s on Facebook every now and again and seems well.
Mr Doubtfire… 🙂
Duncan is in hospital…. 🙁
Rico- have you seen the rumours in the telegraph re J Rodriguez? lol
Totally agree, a couple of signings who will really lift the squad and makes us stronger and we really can do this….
Oh no, that’s horrid to hear Lee… 🙁 🙁
Get well soon little man….
No Ts…
I believe we will get a CDM in the mould of Arteta in January.
Xhaka looks very likely. Sule or Silva…
Here.. it will make you laugh..
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/arsenal/12063451/Arsenal-transfer-news-and-rumours-Gunners-make-James-Rodriguez-enquiry-amid-fears-over-Alexis-Sanchez-future.html
What a load of tripe that article is Ts…
Now if santa could return some or all of are injured players back to full fitness.
The fifth estate letting them selves down again Tsgh
Joe you know Arteta is the club’s santa; he can’t even heal himself.
We will definitely get another midfielder as AW has accepted that Mikel’s prognosis is not good…
Even Santa can’t do that with Santi and Coquelin Joe…
Ts, what makes you so sure? Do you know something we don’t? 😉 I hope so…..
No all talk Rico. as you know… 😉
AW has come to accept Arteta wont come back…
Unless JW10becomes our new signing. lol
🙂 Joe.
🙂 Ts..
Is the Swiss guy any good?
New post is up now….
