Sorry haven't read the other threads.....where's Ranger?

The PSV one is canny missing polka dots

Bad decision , but good news for us.

what do you mean?

I'd say giving him game time before the end of the season is important for him. Waiting all summer only builds the pressure up even more. I'd try to give him as much time as is reasonable if I was Pards.

absolutely true this

awful awful news 

RIP DR. Thoughts are with his family

Does anyone else here think that Torres is genuinely s***?  I mean, he's been s*** for a good year now.  Maybe he was just massively overperforming before that?  Just a thought!  

 

Oh, and you two above need to get a grip man, it's an internet forum FFS!

 

Yes, the 8 years before that of consistently playing very well was just a purple patch.  The last 10 months or so where he's played with bad injury problems and played for a team he didn't wanna be at, that's the true account of his ability.

 

Hey, he might just be doing an Owen, that's all!

What's so strange about the idea of him being good and maybe's he's now "shit"? No doubt quality is still there, but its looks like a significant chunk of that quality has waned by his standards. I think he's shit

Wilshere will never be a patch on Xavi.

1) Wilshere is still a bairn. How you can categorically say that  is beyond me.

2) Xavi is a special player in his own right. It's not a disgrace if a player like him will only come around once every blue moon.

Point is, Wilshere keeps the ball moving. He's got a vast passing range and a solid engine. He also seems to relish the big game atmosphere. Best player on the park last night by a country mile (taking 90 minutes into account).

There's no natural successor to Xavi in my opinion. Cesc is more of an attacking midfielder nowadays, doesn't dictate a game like Xavi does (he has other great attributes). I can see Iniesta slotting back there in the future though, if we buy Cesc or Thiago blooms.

 

Sergi Samper in 10 years, maybe

 

 

Tell you what! Forget Fabregas. Jack Wilshere is your man.

Cesc's dad and his big mouth

Really hope you let Real waste their money on this chipmunk. You could do a lot better than Fabregas to replace Xavi long term.

Vital 3 pts, and a masterclass away performance against a no-mark club. Ecstatic  :celb:

Someone point out where I said he was Carroll's 'replacement' please. There is no replacement, that's why we're reduced to such a pathetic signing.

 

All I pointed out were a manager and striker that are no longer on our books and a manager and striker that are. Facts.

It is sad. Let's see how they fare in the grand scheme of things. If we stay up, major spring cleaning is needed in the summer.

This can't really be classed as a Kuqi Kuqi Coup can it?

:lol:

Updated my sig!

  :colo:

where the hell are some of our youngsters?? Zambrela, this guy, even Donaldson was missing for a huge part of this season for no reason..do we have a secret reserves team that plays somehwere in Mozambique that we don't know about?

Donaldson is on loan at 'Pool is he not?

ffs stop bumping this thread. just let it die 

But yeah plz try and find another photo. Im looking and cant find anything. May have to watch a replay of the match. They showed them several times.

I know, but he's never hanged around with Villa/Mata/Albelda which is why they are sitting together. I'll try to find a better photo.

That's right. Jose is a classy bloke and don't hang around a clique as trashy as that  

 

What a save by the Valencia keeper just earlier.

 

BTW, noticed Villa is in the crowd, sat along Juan Mata. Is it just me or is wor Jose sitting right behind him next to David Albelda??

Think you're just paranoid, there's no reason he'd be sitting with them anyway.

Dude, you can't see who is sitting next to Albelda from this photo! I know Enrique is a Valencia fan and hails from there. So was just putting 2+2 together.

Take it easy guys, i'm coming over for this one. I have never seen Newcastle lose at SJP and the three games i've been to this season are Villa 6-0, mackems 5-1 and Liverpool 3-1.

 

  :clap:

Been out skiing, only just coming back to all of this.

 

f***ing hell.

 

Simply amazing.

 

What a club.

Arsene and Arsenal are moaning, whingy bastards and always have been.

 

It's pathetic, especially after a performance like that. Most managers would be praising our support and bemoaning their teams performance, not harping on about the referee and Joey Barton.

 

It really is, no humility, can't give credit, can't berate his players reaction which was violent conduct and unacceptable, just pathetic from someone who I want to respect. Even Fergie would have said fair play, he often does and has found humility in his latter years and made him more enduring imo, Wenger though I doubt he'll ever accept anything that goes against him, its just sour grapes.

Sorry but I've never EVER bought into the "Arsenal" brand. Hate their football and hate their manager, and most of their fans that I know are complete and utter gobshite twats. Thoroughly enjoying getting two over them this season.

Best thing about this match? No booking for Tiote!!!
