    You'd think, as he was signed ostensibly to replace Brady, that he could slot into the LB role while Dijks serves his suspension, with Josh ahead of him? Rather than Whittaker, a RB.
    Will we ever get rid of this 'square pegs' mentality at this football club? <grr>

    So Citeh and Loserpool draw 1-1, which isn't much good to either of them. Milner scores yet another penalty.
    Looking increasingly likely that Sunderland and Boro will be joining us in the Championship next season!!!!

    Edit - I see from the BBC report that Mr Oliver was one of the main talking points!! #dodgyrefereeing #groundhogday
    Also some glaring misses from Lallana and Aguero, so might have to watch MotD2.

    That's 3 goals in his last 2 games for the under 17s and both his goals against Montenegro were beauts, especially his 2nd and Scotland's 6th!!
    I'm hoping he'll be in the starting 11 for the game against Sunderland on 31st March - he's such an exciting player to watch considering his age.

    Just adding more 'grist to the mill' when FML says that Middleton will soon be leaving NCFC on a free!!!! <doh>
    I expect quite a few 'big team' scouts at our under 23 game against Sunderland on 31st March!!!!

    Shall we assume Jacob Murphy is on the bench somewhere,
    just to bring a (faint) splash of yellow and green to proceedings? :(
    Congrats to Brighton under Hughton, who supply the 'spine' of the team <ok>

    In fairness to Murphy or any of our lot, we have to often been found wanting and flimsily collapsed. Murphy has been a part of our fragility and probably doesn't justify a place, even if he has been the best of a bad bunch. Reading and Wednesday have none in the team and are well above us. I reckon some of their players might have more genuine gripes about not making this team than our underachievers.

    Bah!

    There was a large dollop of tongue-in-cheek about the entire post, GM.
    I'd have been gobsmacked if any of our underperforming rabble were involved.
    Maybe we should put the Barry Butler memorial trophy into storage
    this year as I can't think of a single contender? :emoticon-0112-wonde

    In fairness General, at least Murphy has SCORED goals, whilst Martin (one of the oldest players in the team!!?) has certainly been culpable for MANY of the goals we've conceded!!!
    We'll never know, had we given some of our youff a chance and so tied up the opposition's midfield/defence by ATTACKING with purpose more, our own fragile defence would have been under less pressure!!!!

    What that stupid / rash / impetuous / needless / idiotic red card, you mean?
    Be useful if you qualified these red cards in future <ok> ;)

    The ONLY English club to qualify for the Champions League every year since it was formed and still in with a shot at winning the FA cup 3 out of the last 4 seasons.
    If that's failure then they are supporting the wrong club.
    Most proper Gooners would be happy to keep him .
