  1. Sophie Ellis Bextor singing Murder on the Dancefloor on Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway has cheered me up no end
  2. He’d just been fouled you cracker. Wouldn't mind the insult if he hadn't been completely wrong
  3. Aye we've been very good. Played some nice stuff when we've gone forward. Think we can equalise
  4. He’d just been fouled you cracker. Watch it again. The foul wasn't even in the same phase of play. He just wanders forward leaving a massive space
  5. Merino was caught very high up the pitch there leaving the space for that to happen
  6. Heading wide from about 6 yards on his own? That was Redmond. Boufal provided the cross. Other way around
  7. Heading wide from about 6 yards on his own?
  8. Southampton miss a sitter. They should win this
  9. I haven't seen much of him, but we would've overran Southampton in the middle of the park when we played them in St. Mary's if it wasn't for him. Looked like he was decent at breaking up play and driving forward with the ball then. Has a lot of quality no doubt, just think he tries to do too much by himself
  10. Think Lemina's a bit overrated. Slows the game up by constantly trying to dribble rather than passing the ball in poor positions

    I have to kind of agree with what my brother in law says given he watches them week in week out... I assume you watch them week in and week out also?! Giroud was a source of goals and another who would turn up in big games. Wilshere is their best player at the moment in terms of work rate, commitment and putting in a performance, he was their best player in the cup final IMO. Mind that’s not saying much given how poor they were all over the park. Sanchez was free to leave, but Arsenal allowed that to happen and while he was being allowed to leave they had Ozil a new contract... Arsenal’s best players for a while now have at some point wanted to leave and that’s because they cannot compete for the title and CL honours. They should seriously look at Ancelotti and while I doubt they’d take to Rafa’s football, he would sore them up, make them more competitive and would get more out of some of the players than Wenger is doing. I know. Y brother in law would have him to tomorrow. A dark horse would be Mancini. Either way Wenger has to go. I look at Arsenal now and they are such a poor team with average players for where they need to be at despite a huge spend. Even their best so-called player in Ozil is shit, a total luxury player who just gives up so easily as he did yesterday when being beaten to the ball by Walker. He allowed his man to not only ease him off the ball, but turn and take it forward while he was hands on hips looking forlorn. Unacceptable for a player that cost so much, gets paid so much and is considered their best player. They need a new ‘keeper, back four and midfield. Their forwards are more than good enough but are cut adrift and it’s either long balls on the counter or they play down the flanks and not the middle. This is the poorest football Arsenal have served up under Wenger, it’s so disjointed and lacking conviction. It’s as if they are hoping a purple does the business ala Pardew. Your brother in law is just one fan. Most people on here watch us every week yet there are always arguments about certain things on here. Giroud was awful in big games whenever he started in them, he scored a few goals off the bench but that's not the same. Sanchez was allowed to leave because he really badly wanted to leave, it wasn't a case of one or the other with him and Ozil
  12. Think Adama Traore could get a move to a big club as some kind of wildcard at some point Was kind of gutted we didn't get him when we were linked with him last year

    Giroud proved many times that he wasn't good enough consistently and especially when he started against big teams. Sanchez was leaving in the summer anyway. Wilshere wasn't even a guaranteed starter at Bournemouth last season and isn't Arsenal's best player. You seem to just be repeating whatever your brother in law says

    People love to be able to say I told ya so
  15. He’s shit now. Watch him tonight and he did fuck all, same at the weekend. Never rated him highly. He’s a good player on his day, but that’s few and far between. Ultimate luxury/passenger player. Compare him to Silva or De Bruyne Man. Agreed. When he plays for the national team, he has players around him who will do the donkey work. Ozil hides when he plays for Arsenal - especially when it gets tough. He's not alone though. He doesn't have the athleticism to affect a game when he's not getting the ball supplied to him in good areas, I don't think its anything to do with hiding. You are right in that he has players in the German team who can do the work for him mind. You play a midfield of Xhaka and Ramsey against Man City and you shouldn't expect Ozil to have a good game
  16. Wonder what other "fucking shit" players have won German player of the year 5 times
