Unbelievable

For fuck's sake!

Colossal!

This has to happen.

Well done Ba sir

Corner! Howay Saylor!!!

Absolutely. A great weapon to bring on against tired legs. Hopefully his place will be Marveaux' shortly (should have been his today)..

Called offside, and for once Jonas has end product.. Typical..

Great control Cabaye

King, what's the point..?

Nah, he just looks for the foul every time so far this match. Disappointing he doesn't use his pace nearly as much as he could do..

Tiote controlling the game in midfield for us, as per usual.

WTF Obertan. Play it easy FFS!

Howay Bestie!

Howay ref!

Well worked chance Ba

Not bad, it's a strangely subdued game so far. Thanks. A bit disappointed about the unchanged team. Not sure if 442 is the best way to approach this match..

Only just came in. How are we doing so far?

Brilliant! Nearly missed it..

I bet that will go down well on RTG

Excellent!

He's out of contract next summer? According to Wikipedia he signed a 3-year deal in July 2009. Bingo Nope. Contracted until 2014 with an option for one more year. http://www.fctwente.nl/nieuws/luuk-de-jong-tekent-nieuw-contract/

Shola's turboshite man.. He should never have been given a new contract, nor should it have happened last time. Sammy on the other hand looks a good prospect. If we finally get a new striker in in January a loan to a Championship club might be a good idea to further his development.

From NUFC.com:

Uh oh...

Everybody seems to think Wenger is the one who is being stubborn and doesn't want to change his ways, but wasn't it reported this summer he was at loggerheads with the board about the level of ambition/investment? Apparently he felt the club's wage structure didn't allow it to compete with Chelsea and the Man U clubs for the signings he wanted to bring in, and he wasn't willing to pay over the odds for players like Cahill whom he perceived as overpriced and overrated. It appears to me that for some reason or another Arsenal have been extremely frugal in recent seasons despite vastly increasing their crowds and probably revenue, and in today's football world you can only go so far without significant investment. Perhaps Wenger's "problem" is that he would rather develop players he believes have the potential to be world class but are not quite ready yet (and get poached once they are) than to bring in established players who are decent Premiership players but not quite good enough in his mind to take the club forward. If given the choice to spend more and have a real go at the Premiership title I don't doubt for a second he would take it, and I don't think there would be many better managers to make it happen too...
