Arsenal

Szczesny really was a liability at times, guessing he just suits the Italian league more or maybe it's just that our defense it shit  Cech is only 35 right now, can still see him as first choice for a few years.

 

Little more upset to see talk of Wilshere being sold TBH Think it might be to do with him wanting more money. I really can't see why we'd sell him if we continue playing 3-4-2-1, he's perfect to play as one of the two who play in front of the defense. Plus he's one of the few youth team players in the squad.

[wev]

Yeah but he has to be fit in order to play regardless of the system

[Gotters]

if he wasn't a local lad who'd come up thru the ranks Wilshire would have long been discarded in the fans affections - injuries aside I've never actually thought he was that good when he has managed a string of even a few games.

 

 

[Silent Runner]

He was probably over-hyped but he was worth the rep. just for the 2010/2011 season. Even for his shift against Barca he was worth the noise and the fans sticking with him. Bit like Diaby I suppose, you'd always felt there was the chance of a great season or a run of 20 good games or something.  

[hauk]

Agree that if he wasn't a local lad he won't be given so much leeway by the fans, but that's understandable. He is always good when he plays though, much prefer him to Coquelin or Elneny.

[The Fox]

Wilshere is a really lovely player to watch when he's on it, he just never developed a football brain to go along with his talent so he just does stupid shit pretty frequently. Plus we arguably ruined him by overplaying him massively in his first season.

[SeanR]

State of that pitch though. Looks like its been ploughed.

 

Wouldn't mind a shirt with the Chinese language emirates logo though.

[SeanR]

'sake x2

[Baring]

PSG are gonna bid only 35 mil for Sanchez! How cheap is that.

[Shoes]

Well, they're the only ones in for him, so yeah. 

 

I'm worried about the Chelsea interest in the Ox.

[The Fox]

Am I reading it right that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and his agent are trying to have us over a barrel for a new contract? Fair play, they've got some sack considering the bloke has had about 10 good games for us since he's been here.

[Gotters]

The Alexis thing is going to get ugly isn't it, apparently he's 'sick'

Looks like he's a few days away from going full Payet on us.

 

At this point you just have to hope you've got 2 interested parties to bid each other up I think - they aren't going to pay him for a year and leave him fester poisoning the whole dressing room.

[Silent Runner]

He was on a session with Ray Parlour last night. The guy is probably just hanging.

Looks legit.

Yeah, stadium's filled nicely since Leipzig v. Seville.

 

The blue looks alright, and...

[SeanR]

My browser crashed, I was about to say I hope it doesn't rain tomorrow, and my son wants to buy the blue kit with his birthday money, and his mother was advising against it, in case it becomes associated with bad performances away from home.

 

And then Benfica scored.

 

He only got the white Chapman kit from 2007-8

 

 

in his size yesterday, mind you he's currently wearing a 2011-12

 

With RVP on the back...

 

And then we equalised!

[SeanR]

Theo doesn't look like the same 17 year old wunderkind anymore.

[wev]

I was about to say he looks like he's finally grown up, and now he's scored two so that's his season over and done with

[SeanR]

and then this happened, on goals scored...

[Shoes]

Holy fuck, that's unbelievable. 

[suzzopher]

Woah, that's disturbing.

possession speak. All kinds of sad and pathetic.

Shirt has been updated.

No comments on today's game between Arsenal, THE Arsenal, and the Chelsea?

 

I didn't see much but Xhaka looked good from what I saw. Chelsea's penalties were amazing.

[Shoes]

Kolasinac looked like a proper beast.

 

[Steve007]

It was a decent performance, even if it was just a glorified friendly.  The new guys looked very good and we look like we will be hitting the ground running which is encouraging.

[wev]

Who's gonna get injured first, Walcott or Wellbeck? (Which autocorrect tried to change to wellbeing [emoji23][emoji23] )

That's quite a front line though, Sanchez/Wellbeck Lacazette/Giroud and Walcott
