So nowt more on this fella? Something? Anything? Please? #clutchingatinvisiblestraws

Shefki Kuqi can fuck right off, along with anyone who actually thought we'd get him

Those Stoke fans

Fuck me is incest allowed in Stoke too? Are they even human?

Hleb to Wolfsburg on loan.

 

Definition of bad career choices.

As well as a "all fart and no shit" player.

Dekka's in London. Up at half past 4. Working very hard.

May wait for january if we don't get the right players in today.

Move on people.

I think I'm glad it's the mackem rent-a-mongs behing DC today and not ours for a change.

Alan Curbishly on ssn now. "Modrik"

He will, has no footballing ability at all.

really?

oh ffs ssn!!! how many times do they have to go to squirt lodge and ask the twat reporter what saggy face "EXACTLY" said about Luka Modric?? Don't need to hear about that cunt and his cesspool of a club every fucking 8 minutes!!

The poofery in here is astounding

At this point, Elliot, Santon and Maiga would do alright.

Whatever happened to vision and planning in advance #fml 

So Mereiles is worth Sturridge and cash? What scouse mong thought that up?

What's going on with Sturridge at this point? He can't be staying at Chelsea as there are too many players ahead of him.

 

Don't think there are any players ahead of him tbh, he was incredible in pre season and Villas Boas rates him, I think we'll see him in a front 3 with Torres and Mata now he's back from suspension.

 

I'm amazed how down some people are on a loan for Macheda though, Ba has just shown the first signs of being the player we thought, in which case he'll be a more than good enough 1st choice, Best will continue to graft and get goals, and of course Pardew hearts Shola. Add Macheda to that and it's very healthy competition for what will in all liklihood be 1 striking position when HBA returns. Some people are so transfixed on a big fee marquee striker it's almost demented, I fear for their mental health. It's just possible that there isn't an outstanding target out there now, it's not gonna kill us to keep our powder dry and wait for one if that's the case

Good post

I love how some fans all over the place are acting like Santon is our right back and we'll sign a left back.

 

I've a feeling we will...

cryptic 

Been a different class so far this season. If he can keep it up, we'll have a monster of a centerback on our hands. I hope the older he gets, maturity will set him right enough to fulfill his "potential". Well done you sack of shit 

I know it's fashionable to wank over everything Arsenal, but how rank is that away top? Stupid colour combination.

Who the f*** is Lee?

Charnley?

I think Jonas is still playing a little deeper than usual due to Ryan Taylor being left back. He's normally good on the defensive side anyway but he seems that extra bit cautious to me. He'll be more involved when he plays a few yards further up imo.

that's right. Covered a huge amount of grass to get into the LB position at times today.

Fantastic start to the season. I know they've played the best 2 teams in the country but still

For me he is the one player I wouldn't want us to sell at any price! Hope he'll be our number 1 for many many many years to come! Outstanding attitude by an outstanding goalkeeper 

Excellent 3 points, and I have to say it was very disappointing not to keep that clean sheet.

Krul - 8 - Very good today, especially that last catch he made. Could have maybe saved c*** Dempsey's header?

Simpson - 6 - Awful defender. Better going forward today.

S Taylor - 8 - Excellent today, apart from knocking Tiote out. Swept everything up.

Coloccini - 6 - At fault for the goal imo. Not his best day, but still solid enough.

R Taylor - 6 - Not bad.

Gutierrez - 7 - Consistent is the word. Gets a 10 for the effort he put in the last 10 minutes. Anonymous in the first half.

Tiote - 6 - Good thing he wasn't booked early on, as he could have been off today. Off the boil. Got better 2nd half.

Cabaye - 8 - Here, there, every f***ing where!!! Again!!

Obertan - 7 - Best right wing play seen at SJP for a few years now. Intelligent at times with the ball. Not so, off it.

Lovenkrands - 4 - Surely there's no place for him in a PL squad let alone a starting 11?

Best - 9 - MOTM. Won quite a few headers and was very strong. Excellent take and finish for his 2nd.

Ba - 7 - Good outing. His best so far.

Smith  

Happy enough with the win. Pardew got his subs right. Very disappointed with the injury to Vuckic!!! Was really looking forward to seeing him strut his stuff towards the end there.

7 points from 3 games is a very good haul. Bring on QPR.

Steven Taylor has been a beast at the back. Has won everything.

Lack of invention going forward. Cabaye and Obertan trying to make things happen. Tiote woeful for the first 40 minutes.

Let's hope for better 2nd half.

 

Must have missed it, but where's Shola?

 

Hip injury.

Cheers blad

 

Must have missed it, but where's Shola?

 

They've merged Sammy and Shola into one super Ameobi.
