Shola I can't believe he still gets paid to play football. Would rather have Best there, fuck, Phil Airey, anyone.

Raylor infront of Simpson :lol: You can't make this s*** up. Gonna get fucking bummed down that flank.

Please be a joke

The problem with Rooney vs Coloccini isn't ability wise imo. Agree with you there. But Rooney's always dificult to play because he roams around a lot and Colo won't be able to follow him behind a certain point. Last year when we played them Rooney was often unmarked ghosting around the box. Tiote has to do a job there as well.... Having has a scout around it looks like Rooney will be playing CM, so looks like it will be Tiote's job

As I said before, though, Nani and Valencia up against Simpson and Raylor will destroy us.

Colo will have Rooney in his back pocket, no worries about him.

Who knows what could happen. Hopefully Cabaye gets the ball a lot, otherwise we are fucked.

Huh, what? They're actually trying to sign Kieran Richardson?! Arsenal are becoming a parody of themselves. Wait, Sunderland rejected it??

That would be amusing in many ways. Mostly towards Villa.

No. It's maybe because Obertan so rarely uses his pace effectively I've not really noticed it, but I believe Ben Arfa is a quicker player.

Should really be using Cabaye tonight. Reckon Tiote and Cabaye can outplay their midfield (which is hard to predict, but I'm assuming it'll be Anderson and Park with Carrick centreback?)

Ben Arfa is probably faster than Obertan. Definitely more explosive.

It's a fast moving thread, helpful to post it every so often I say so folk don't need to trawl through it.

It's true, there was a 5 minute spell where we passed the ball aimlessly around the pitch. Other than that he's crazy if he thinks we controlled it.

Now someone has pointed out that someone has pointed out the Virgin lassie's quotes quite a few times. Inception.

Yeah, a few times actually. From November 11th the article was, I think...

Sorry to rehash this, but if Ben Arfa isn't prem standard then I'm not sure how Ameobi, Sameobi, Raylor, Simpson and Obertan are getting games.

Heard him on 5live recently, nice bloke. Seems to be doing alright.

Certainly not, just not convinced by the last couple of months. His (imo) stubborness has effectively undone all the great work from earlier on in the season. We are in a great position, no doubt, but we seem to be playing with fear.

That man has no cheeks

Every time Fagdew says something like that he puts even more pressure on Ben Arfa. It's as if he wants him to fail so we can all say "oh well Fagdew was right, all hail King Fagdew".

That post went so well with your username.

Fucking virgin arena

Pardew entering fannybaws territory.

Giovinco is Crusat levels of small. Canny players, unfortunately it would be very hard for them to be effective.
