Hatem Post Barfa, you say?

Uh-oh, 1-0? The board will be livid.

Sounds like there's no way of telling.

Always liked Marveaux but we have quality midfield options and he's the unlucky one to always miss out. I could never understand benching Obertan ahead of him, though. Someone is getting a canny player.

It's like that Ben Arfa Blackburn game. 3rd round of the cup means it's unlikely to be shown, unfortunately. We only got one ITV angle for 'that' goal.

If we don't bid for Ince, it'd be one of the more baffling transfer mistakes in our recent history.

Poor Dortmund Sahin, Kagawa, Gotze and now Lewa. Probably not long til Reus either.

Pardew mentioned rotation which, judging by his Xmas 'rotation', means three changes at the very most with Ben Arfa still benched. I have an agenda

Is that the Andy Webster thing? I doubt that'll happen.

Dunno like, I'd say it was a fairly dickish comment from Clattenburg. Can see why Lallana would be annoyed by it.

Starting the wildcard with one more idea. Gonna cram Walcott, Hazard, Ozil, Aguero & Suarez with some cheapies.

I thought theyd get out of the mess tbh but a defeat to Fulham would change things. Today was a big defeat.

I'm deleting my team soon, like. Every week is a nightmare and, in 2 months,, I let a 60pt lead over my brother turn into an 80pt deficit. When it gets to 100 I'm deleting!

Happy New Year to all, lets hope its a good one. That FA Cup win will be glorious!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25488699 Lawro predicting the January window. Just keeps saying "They need a striker". He's taken a scattergun approach with his suggestions....

Would love these Ravel Morrison rumours to be true, especially if we don't go for Ince. If we can shift Obertan & Marveaux to make room, that'll be fine.

GW20: Swansea 1-2 Man City Arsenal 3-1 Cardiff Crystal Palace 1-0 Norwich Fulham 2-1 West Ham Liverpool 4-1 Hull Southampton 1-1 Chelsea Stoke 1-2 Everton Sunderland 1-0 Aston Villa West Brom 1-1 Newcastle Man Utd 2-0 Tottenham

Absolutely wonderful player, consistently proving so. One of the best around and we're extremely lucky to have him.

Quite pleased with 38, all things considered. Out of the cup though.

Who does he think he is? A footballer with any talent whatsoever? Because he's not. He's an absolute joke. The audacity to walk out on Newcastle United

Felt the defeat was harsh on us in a game with few clear cut chances. A silly Tiote foul and some questionable HBA decisions were what swung it Arsenal's way. Proud of how we competed though, we looked good. Special mention to Debuchy today, who was outstanding. Cabaye, Colo & Tiote played well too.

I'd promised myself no more spending points on transfers until the wildcard but I struggle to even get 10 players out these days. Thinking of an 8pt hit: Vlaar, Brady, Ramsey out for J Ward, Sterling, Cabaye.

They're close to the others now, as bad as they are

Ridiculous, man. Fucking Cardiff. Sunderland still have hope.
