Has anyone else noticed how the Gooner wums (principally PESKIE and COYG) seem to have magically disappeared?

It would appear that they have nothing to laugh about at the moment and, not having anything constructive to write, have decided to keep a low-profile. A very sensible move, in my opinion.

Or have they finally been banned?
 
It's scary how much better your squad is than Arsenal's. It's a wonder why they haven't gone in for some of the players you have.
 
we're getting a lot of nice comments from opposing fans. Maybe we are finally doing it right???

Cheers drogs

I think selling Bale could end up being a masterstroke, that is if you end up with the three players currently linked with you. With a combined XI the only Arsenal player I'd put in there is Wilshere.

Not scary <cheers>

I imagine most level-headed gooners will disagree there!
 
We should put in a bid for Wilshere. £10,000,001 sounds like a good starting price.
 
Maybe didn't think it through properly. Combined XI: (provided you nab these three players)

Lloris

Walker
Kaboul
Vertonghen
Coentrao(sp)

Wilshere
Sandro

Lamela
Willian
Cazorla

Soldado


Not bad.
 
I doubt that side would go down too well on the Arsenal board, Drogs! <laugh>
My guess is that they'd push for the inclusion of Koscielny, Sagna and Walcott, maybe?

Sagna would ordinarily but I think he's declining at a rapid ratr. Walcott isn't as good as Lamela in my view and Kosielny is a good CB but I wouldn't have hom over Kaboul or Vertonghen.

Eugh. Only if we are planning on sacrificing him to help Celtic through to the CL group stages

At the moment i'd have Kos over Kaboul. If Kab gets back to full fitness and form then Kos can warm bench.
Sagna over Walker for me too unfortunately.
I'd have Paulinho over Wilshere. I've only seen Pauly once but i've seen/heard enough of Wilshere to know i wouldn't want him within a 10m ****ty stick touching distance of my team

I am reminded of David Niven's books The Moons a Baloon and Bring on the Empty Horses.

Niven is filming "Charge of the Light Brigade" with Errol Flynn, director Mike Curtiz (Hungarian)
"Flynn and I doubled up with laughter. "You lousy bums," Curtiz shouted, "you and your stinking language...you think I know **** nothing...well, let me tell you - I know **** ALL!"

Koscielny's suspended <whistle>

To be honest, I'd put Paulinho in above Wilshere right now, he's been awful lately and I refuse to believe that any England midfielders could get in the Brazil side :D


There's a decent amount of close calls across the 11 though, as you'd expect.
 
Because the league *** got ****** it could take 30 wins to snatch the title this year. Gulf in quality between the top 3 and the rest looks huge. Top 7 downwards almost no quality bar Southampton, Swansea and maybe West Ham.

7+3...half the league then...before you get any ideas of trotting it out!

It's too early to say, as we've not seen enough from him, but in 2 months time, I wouldn't be surprised if you'd be changing wilshere for Paulinho.
Also, if Capoue's debut is anything to go by, it'd be tough not to have him knocking on the door, too.
 
Jason Puncheon has signed on a season long loan for Palace. That's a really good signing, IMO. Surprised saints let him go TBH.

Capoue's debut hasn't come up much since the actual match thread. It was pretty spectacular for a DM if you ask me. There was some stat that in the time he was on the pitch (less than a half) he made more interceptions than 3 or 4 prem teams in their opening match
