Here comes my optimism haha.

Soon...

Ba's full interview with RMC: http://www.galsenfoot.com/demba-ba-arsenal-ou-le-psg-cest-encore-loin/ Translation to follow.

Doesn't look like he said anything that controversial.

Unlikely. RMC are one of those who like to ask a lot of questions. Ba might have been told to not talk about a lot by the club but don't think that will stop him going on a tangent.

Merry Christmas to all my fellow forumites. I do love this place Hope your days go well

Positive reading that. Really sounds like he'll be back sooner rather than later and we fucking do need him back in the team as soon as possible. We really are devoid of creativity in the middle. Anita's been doing a good job in trying to be our main creative outlet but that's not his game really.

Recognition!

f*** that.

So I gather I'm not the only who doesn't want Shola to go to the ACoN? He's still kinda needed for squad depth like...

Should be an face really. But in any case, let's see what happens next month - my distinct worry is that it's going to end up like the Erdinç saga...

Only just seen the score. Wowsa!

You We're due a result against a decent team, this might be it. If we don't it'll be a raping. Probably not this game mind, what with our atrocious PL record at Old Trafford. Arsenal though, maybe, just maybe.

One of our best players on the pitch today. Was pretty much solid throughout the game.

Good, positive display from Obertan. Some good spells of attacking play and some really good tracking back too

Looks like I'm going to be posting the above every week, if things keep going as they are. As the weeks go by, all I'm feeling with regards to Jonas' continued selection is frustration and annoyance. Lovable bloke though so it's an absolute shame to see him like this.

Well, what did I make of today then? Forgettable first half - it was literally the case of two shite teams cancelling each other out. The second half was much better viewing (which surprisingly came after we switched to 4-4-2). Shola's goal was such a lovely finish, canny technique. I'm delighted with the result, we desperately needed a win today and we got just that despite it being an ugly one. No further complaints from me like, it was always going to be a tense/nerve-wracking game. A win's a win and with Man U, Arsenal and Everton on the horizon, this win could prove crucial to our season...

My garden is now almost flooded and has loads of standing water. Now I'm worried

Play like he did against City and he'll be fine.

think I shall be making a trip tomorrow morning then.

Guesswork galore.

Tickets will still be available for this on the day aye?

Yep, I'm more than satisfied with the draw

I honestly no longer take notice of his comments. What happens on the pitch should do all his talking...
