Quoted for inevitability.

Crowd has been shite all things considered though, it's got to be said. A legend returns, scores.. and that was it?

Class finish.

Arsenal seem less dangerous on corners than us.

Townsend seems a knob.

Neat trick! Now do it with World Cup trophies...

Most of Nasri's assists came in one game ( also coincedently his debut) he's been average at best and just disappears in games too long for my liking...... Stats are like mini skirts; they reveal a lot of things, but hide the most important parts. One of the many reasons i like to watch players myself before giving an opinion of them, Xavi is a fine example of a player where stats really dont show how good you are. Can't remember anything special he's done by way of assists tbh. Half of those assists could be five yard passes in the centre circle to Silva/Kun who have gone on and scored. More than that, he's looked poor overall.

That's a great record Wenger has: never gone out to lower league opposition in the cup.

Don't know about Pratley, but I agree with the bolded.

Was a bit surprised to hear RVP had been given time off for a family holiday in Dubai. Guess he worked hard over the Christmas period away from his family and he'll be busy over the summer so it makes some sense.

He is very bad in the air for such a tall guy. Arsenal's defence can look solid, and 'sacker seems vaguely competent at times. Generally when Vermaelen is around.

N'Zog is a contender for the money paid, I think. Not in the Torres calibre, but certainly bad value so far. Seems to be getting better though.

Mertesacker hasn't pulled up trees but he doesn't belong on that list.

Thierry added, priced at 7.5 - seems a bit a dear.

How? He's just quite funny, really. Generally pretty honest too. Sets them to up to play decent-ish football with what they have.

If Hughes takes over, QPR just made my list. I'll take out Wolves (McCarthy has won me over). Villa no longer seem likely either, so I'll chuck in Bolton instead.

Yup following our inevitable "freefall" to the gloomy nadir of seventh(!) a victory here will mean we'll have won four out of the last five games (inc. one cup game).

When is the tax trial scheduled? Edit: January 23rd

Yup, once you use it, it's unlimited until the end of the gameweek deadline.

Virgin Money = Nouveau riche = new castle

The club should seek a ruling from the FA on it. He's not obscuring the shirt sponsor, he didn't antagonise the opposition fans/dugout or waste too much time - shouldn't be a booking.

Read this and realised the game against Man Utd was our first three goal win since pre-season

Vuckic could be a decent impact sub for this game. His range shooting would test the suspect Paddy Kenny.

No reason for the club to deny this bollocks (if it indeed it is) any more than any other, tbh. Doesn't mean diddly. The board have no interest in assuaging the fears of fans etc
