Unbelievable

FF captain

Van Persie 1-0

Arsenal to get bumraped.

Conversely he made Jonas look twice the player he currently is. I think it's fair to say they clicked and were a very effective left flank. Would have him back in a heartbeat, especially since I'm not convinced LB will ultimately be Santon's best position. I can see Santon and Ben Arfa developping into a rather tasty right flank too.

Cabs for me like

Why is Wenger mental?, Ba would never fit into a system like arsenal, their fowards inter-change and move all over the place, most importantly they are comfortable on the ball when they receive it which is used to bring midfielders into play. Ba's strengths are not those attributes. Eh? Have you seen who Arsenal have upfront? Ba's movement and ability on the ball is superior to Giroud, Walcott, Gervinho and Chamakh. That's without even mentioning all the other things he's better at. they usually play with one man upfront, Ba is a better finisher for sure , but you seriously think he would fit in as the main foward in a arsenal system? he would have to interchange move about, thats not his game, and his ability on the ball is less than average, how often do you see Demba Ba receive a ball and successfully pass to a team mate? not very often. and he's not very good at holding the ball up either. his strengths are getting on the end of long balls and crosses to convert towards goal, something that arsenal dont do very much. dont get me wrong im not calling Ba lazy, because he works hard to chase after the ball when we dont have it. he's a pure poacher and i dont mean it in a derogatory way. Wat?

Completely disagree. I reckon teams like Bordeaux or Brugge, i.e. teams that are near the top of their respective leagues, will beat a team like Reading more often than not. The quality gap in the Premiership is huge, and whilst the Prem as a whole is stronger than the French or Belgian leagues, that doesn't equate to every team in it being stronger than teams near the top of those leagues..

Five debutantes..?

Wait, the "foul" on Sterling wasn't "debatable"?

Coates was clearly leaning on the defender there. Is that not why it was disallowed?

Just a shit Colo..

Ah good.

Thanks Ivanovic. Guess the useless fecker will be out for 3 rounds too..?

30 points

this is correct. I thought I saw the famous nr 23 jersey but decided I must have seen wrong. What on earth was he doing all the way back there?

One thing is for certain, Shola shouldn't be starting games at the expense of one or the other. He's at his best coming on against tired legs with 20 minutes to go.

I've only seen the last 10 minutes and the goals very briefly. Haven't seen it mentioned in the pre match relief yet, but was it really Shola who played Lukaku onside for their goal?

Valencia

Luiz is so shite...

By that logic shouldn't Young have been booked rather than Ivanovic sent off?
