Nobody

Arsenals defence is so fucking bad.

Anyone know the words to the Balotelli song the City fans were singing after he scored?

What a man

I honestly can't remember the last time I was expecting us to win. Not even against West Ham last year when they were shite, or in the cup games against lower league opponents was I this confident of a win. I feel a bit like Tobias Funke when he's auditioning for the role of Frightened Inmate #2, when his confidence scarce him, which makes him confident again

If they were also late for training, showed bad attitude, got charged for assault etc etc then yes, I would call for them being sacked. He's had too many chances now, he can get fucked. Not that I'm saying I think we will sack him, but he's a disgrace and I don't want him at the club any more.

Not a lot of protection for that back 4

He's very two footed like, I think he's right footed, but I'm not 100 % sure.

These are proven world class players in world cup, copa americas in suarezs case and bundesliga, La Liga, Champions League in VDV's case So has Ben Arfa (Champions League, anyway). Colo has proved himself in La Liga and now the Premier League. Tiote, while having a major fault in picking too many yellow cards, is from the little more than a year we've had him, one of the best defensive midfielders in the world. He's also played in the World Cup (though honestly I haven't got a clue how well he did there). These three players are World Class IMO, they are up there with the best at what they do. After that, we've got the likes of Cabaye, Jonas (in 2011), Ba and possibly Marveux and Santon who aren't at that level, but still very good players. I'd say these compares to the likes of Bale, Defoe, Downing, Carroll, Kuyt, Arteta, Gervinho etc. What we lack is first and foremost depth. A couple of injuries to key players and we're in the shit, as well as quality in a couple of positions (mainly full back). Do I think we'll even battle for fourth? Nope. But I do think that our best players can be measured against the best players in the team that will finish fourth.

Seems we're better at getting contracts sorted when no one speaks about it in the press.

Can we just sack the prick now, please? That five year contract isn't looking half daft now like.

Top 3 sides have those players, 4th isn't a million miles away. i agree however tottenham have the likes of modric, van der vaart, bale and adebeyor. Liverpool have Suarez. We dont have a player of the class of these type. However it could be argued that our team spirit and camaraderie vastly outweighs having such world class players. Hatem Ben Arfa, Cheik Tiote and Fabricio Coloccini disagrees.

:lol:

I would rather have Jonas than Taarabt, and I'm far from Jonas' biggest fan.

Fuck that, I want Sow, so both Cabaye and Ba can have a word. Cabaye Tiote Jonas Ben Arfa Sow Ba

Pearce

If we were to move him on, we'd absolutely have to keep R.Taylor, or we'd have basically no cover for either full back positions (Pardew doesn't seem to want to give Ferguson a chance there and Tavernier is probably not ready/good enough). I'd be happy to move Santon to the right side and bring in another left back, if he'd be of the quality we were linked with in the summer.

Imagine if we signed Moussa Sow man :fwap:

Traditional powers like Nigeria, three time defending champion Egypt, Cameroon, and South Africa failed to qualify. I really don't have any idea who might do well. Ivory Coast and Senegal, obviously

That has got to be the worst comparison I've ever seen Sessegnon is a poor mans Ben Arfa. Got a lot of skill, but seems to lack end product (mind, that might be because of the shite he's playing with). Nolan on the other hand has got about zero skill but knows how to score.

Setting the January transfer window alight

Injury to Bentdner and they are fucked IMO. Unless Wickham manages to step it up, which I highly doubt he will.

I really like that last sentence

We're not talking about Sunderland here mate

Never mind Ryan Taylor, imagine if it was Simpson. Or if it was Simpson who let Defoe turn and shoot.
