Quite an interesting insight into the minds of a couple of young footballers just been posted by the Gooners.

Really would like to see Hayden get a decent chance to show himself.

I liked seeing this whole world from the eyes of these 2 too. It's not how you'd expect it to be.

Really enjoyed watching that. They both come across very well.

Maybe it is time to put some trust in Hayden to see what he can do.

I don't know why Hayden hasn't played more instead of poor Meyler being flogged like a donkey after his injury, Jakes needed a rest too. We lost the games where they played instead of being rested so Hayden may as well have been on the pitch even if Bruce doesn't trust or rate him. He also looked good in tandem with Huddlestone unlike the other lads at times. Somebody mentioned Ahmed Fahti the other week, another decent midfielder brought in on loan who didn't get a sniff, Haydens gone the same way.

If you were picking one for your pub quiz team, you'd definitely go with Hayden. <laugh>

Innit though???

Heh, we pile all this expectation on them, but it's easy to forget what they are underneath all of the other stuff.

Amazing to think Chuba's been at Arsenal for so long too.
 
Hayden's chances were blown when jake got let off, something no one really saw coming, which is a real shame as he comes across so well in that vid, hope he gets a good loan move second half of the season. Chuba too comes across well, and I hope he can regain some of his early season form for us, wanna see him kissing the badge end of the season when we get promoted
 
Interesting what they said about the Hull City fans booing when they pass the ball backwards and how they never just blast the ball across into the area in hope if in the corner flag area when with Arsenal, but always play it back to a player. Think this is the difference with established Premier League clubs compared to us, we're happy to see it pumped up front rather the passed around for ages.

That's because we don't have the quality players like Ozil, Cazorla etc. to pass the ball around. Do it too much and possession is generally wasted by a player making a mistake, so there is a need to be more direct sometimes.

timewaster! get on with it!
 
Some of our fans boo our own fans, let alone the team.
Many a time I've heard the same bunch of idiots scream for the team to get it forward when we have possession, then froth at the mouth in frustration when we do play it forward quickly and it is inevitably won by some numpty 6ft 4 centre half- we do seem to like a whinge, especially on those rare occasions when we are relatively half decent. On the other hand, we seem to be one of the most forgiving of crowds when we are truly ****. Weird bunch in Ull

Didn't he say it was the Bristol fans booing their team?

Did they say the North Stand is the noisiest area when they come out or did they mean the northern end of the West Stand........???

Horses for courses.

I'd have Hayden in my pub quiz team, but I wouldn't let him take me clothes shopping.

All that money and he can't even buy a decent pair of strides.


Baggy jogging bottoms. FFS no wonder Steve Bruce won't pick him. Smarten up lad.

Akpom was talking about Bristol and Hayden said he noticed it as a thing in the Championship - Championship teams' fans not liking the ball being played backwards.
He then pointed over to a corner and said he remembers in a match when he did a maradonna turn and kept possession and passed it backwards and got booed.
