That was utterly awful, not even sure what our gameplan was. Just shocking in every department.

I have a real bad feeling he's going to pick Colback as the game is so close to last nights game. Resting Hayden, please Rafa don't, love everyone xxx

Those stats are wrong, for a start two of Ritchie shots, one which deflected over off the albino's head was given as not on target, and another hit with his right foot, same with the Perez deflected shot too. Deflected shots aren't on target unless it's the last man. These stats I've got are from Opta. Well that's a complete load of bollocks then, it's either going between the posts or not from when it's struck. Who the fuck dreams the reasoning up for shit like that, what a fuckwad.

He got too tight, rolled easily and then gave away a ridiculous foul. Ok you could say he had too, but getting too tight and rolled and then not maybe chasing the guy down would have been better. Everything about it was thick as fuck as usual from the cretin.

Stupid ginger moron, and as for Lascelles on the goal, in absolute no mans land and didn't look round once to see where Wood was or where he himself was positioned.

They didnt this year, to be fair Very true, fingers crossed as it would nice to get just a plain and simple yet lovely striped kit.

You just know Puma are going to fuck this up somehow, some sort of fuckarse zig zag or wobbly lines. Hope not but it's Puma...

Lazaar is a mystery, we have no real idea if he's any good as he played so little. Obviously Rafa doesn't trust him or think he's good enough, and if he can't get Dummett out the team he must be ten shades of some shite.

Does it really matter if you can read the name. I mean with squad numbers now that's usually enough, as most fans now know the player by their numbers as they have it for the whole season or longer. As long as you can see the number clearly that's enough i would think.

Cheers sir

Yes and No. Like ours (but a bit worse) it depends on the bloke at the top being prepared to bankroll things. The worry they have is that Short will just decide to cut his losses and take administration or sell to a Venky, alternatively he finds a buyer who wnats to do well by the club, However it seems they are few and far between compared to the fly-by-nighters. Is the thinking then, that if Short stays as he can't find a buyer and he's not prepared to bank roll them. They're going to have to sell a lot of players and have no real chance of bouncing back straight away, as it'll be that bad for them they'll have to cut costs massively. Which would be a real shame

Is their financial situation as bad as it's being made out ?

FFS, you got my hopes up then.

Rafa says quite rightly that he likes the 10 role as it helps control the midfield, and that is his tactics, controlling the game. But with the players we have that's not working but he's sticking to it. You point out we have no real 10, quite right and imo the main reason why we're playing poor football as we're not controlling games like Rafa wants us too. Rafa wouldn't be Rafa without the stubborn streak that's made him so successful. I love Rafa, love the way he is, the way he talks, the way he projects everything about us, football etc, but i can't stand the poor football right now. Switching to 4-4-1-1/4-4-2-ish, yep, it would make us better but that stubborn streak which is bringing poor football a lot of the time, especially since christmas is something we have to put up with right now because 4-2-3-1 is him 99.9% of the time. That stubborn streak will pay dividends in the long run if and when we buy better players, ones more suited to 4-2-3-1. I think Rafa got some buys wrong, Diame for instance has been terrible in the 10 role that Rafa bought him for and that hasn't helped. He gets some stick for that, imo quite rightly but in the long run we'll see good football (despite my own hatred of two holding players in a 4-2-3-1).

It's the all round good egg bit

Kolo Toure

Agreed. He's also never relegated anyone, so Arsenal fans can sleep safe in the knowledge that he would never relegate them. He has like.

<a href="http://reactiongifs.com/?p=10130"><img src="http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/2013/05/omg-chair.gif"></a> Maybe an international roll would be more suitable. Probably but he fecked that up the greedy oaf.

what did he say? And gets more intelligent as he gets older

I suppose lots of people getting in for free means they can afford a carrier bag.
