Colo looks like a proper athlete. No wonder he is so immense.

GET IN!!!!!!!!!!

All those slagging Raylor off, bow your heads.

Howard Webb should be suspended for bribery. No other explanation.

As long as we have weathered the storm, we can start cutting them with through balls to Obertan from Barton and Cabaye.

class, if only you were a right wing racist nutjob you'f be the whole package I might be right wing, but I'm certainly not a racist nutjob. FYI, where I work, only about 10 of 150 are British.

I'd like to think that Ba isn't the Carroll replacement, but our future 2nd striker.

W. T. F. ?!?!?!?! Is he actually going to play LB? We have three good goalkeepers. Whyyyyyyyy?!?!

Krul Simpson Taylor Coloccini Raylor Tiote Barton Cabaye Jonas Obertan Ba

Raylor didn't get bummed by Arsenal TBF.

Unless Krul has a shocker of a season, I can't see Forster getting a look in. Soderberg may well eventually end up being our No. 2 keeper.

I'm prepared to meet independent N-O adjudicators in a bar in May and watch Gash drink piss when Gervinflop has carried on being shite all season.

Yes.

In your sig?

I have just quantified it! But if he scores into double figures, then I will consume urine.

If any of the TV/print pundits say his first season is a failure/he has not justified his transfer fee in April/May.

Am watching the Arse/Udinese now. Fuck it. Am going to nail my colours to the mast now. If Gervinho is anything but a flop come May, I'll piss in a pint and drink it. He looks shite!

On the bright side for Arsenal, Gervinho can spend his extra time learning how to cross better than a five year old.

Wow, Ronaldo, that's the most intelligent thing you've ever said!

I'm not being elitist though. I'm being normal. It's just that a minority of posters here are retarded.

How does praising Jonas, Loven and Raylor make me elitist?! And sticking up for Ronaldo?! Are you insane? He's the worst poster on here, ever!

How do you use the ignore function? I think Ronaldo might become the first user to be getting ignored. Absolute shithouse of a poster, and the worst WUM on here by a mile.

He really is worth a big contract. Without him, our defence just wouldn't function. Get him signed up!

Why all the critisism?! He did well yesterday. And Gervinho did nowt, so where has this "skinned" chat come from? Couldn't have expected any more from a backup RM playing at LB. It's just wrong that some people on here must have pre-written posts slagging him off before the match has even kicked off.

Looking through this thread, it's clear that plenty of people didn't watch the match, and are doing ratings based on stereotypes about players. We played in a very different, and dare I say more promising :colo: way yesterday, and I can see us doing well out of it. My ratings (I watched the match, which is a good start!): Krul 6 - Looked nervous at times, but held on to a sharp save well. Simpson 6 - Part of a solid defensive unit. Got forward well. Was wearing number 5?! Taylor 6 - Did some excellent tackles, but christ, he needs to keep his forward runs for set pieces. Horribly exposed Colo whilst trying to run the ball forward. Coloccini 8 - Was outstanding. Won everything. Surprised one of the 'Big four' haven't tryed to nick him yet. R Taylor 6 - Quiet game. Was surprisingly good at LB and made some good tackles. Set piece was poor. Barton 7 - Dynamic. Looked to play killer balls and wound Arsenal up well. Exactly what you want from him. Tiote 5 - Looked error prone at times when on the ball, but did the ugly stuff he needs to do. Cabaye 6 - Quiet game. Looked like he has a cracking eye for a pass though, and will be immense for us this season. Jonas 8 - Tracked back to cover Raylor. Won about 6000 tackles and throw ins. Looks to be the player he can be. Maybe it's due to competition from Marveaux? Ba 6 - Quiet game. I would prefer to see him spearhead the attack rather than sit deep. Shola 6 - Quiet too. Looked good on the ball. Would prefer him to have had more support rather than him being isolated at times. Best 5 - So slow it is unreal. Obertan - 7 Was very dangerous. Fast, good in the air. May be a bargain and a key player! McLoven - 6 Actually looked alright on the ball.
