We will not be buying Joe Hart anyway #WengerPresser

I wonder if the manager knows what his best eleven is? I'm not sure it's even about the best eleven players, as about ones that play together as a team, which we have struggled to do for some time. We don't have a functioning midfield, we can't adapt quickly enough between zipping it around a mobile front three, or hoofing it up / whipping it in to the big lad (until desperation sets in at the end). Our first choice keeper is looking ropey. We don't have a proper backup RB and we miss Bellerin. Actually we do in Debuchy but he's never in the squad.

I know that average but lucky teams have won the CL in the past but I can't see this lot doing it. Their record against decent sides in recent years includes very few wins.

Good lord - how are Earth are we not in the relegation places

The game's all about money nowadays, innit.

The context of my post whether the team can win the champions league, not whether we can stay in the first division.

Against big sides we have been good against Chelsea at home before they got themselves into their groove, and that's all. Poor against Chelsea, Man U, Man C, Everton & PSG away, poor against Liverpool and Tottenham at home. Meh against PSG at home.

One cannot help but notice, dear a, that you are in the mother of shítty moods today.

Come, pull up a chair and tell us what ails thee. A problem shared is a problem halved, as the sages would tell us.

Here, have a tissue and I'll make you a cup of tea.

I'm with a. His day started badly with that dreadful Yanqui telling us why we voted Leave. I had to be quite short with him. a was even shorter, calling him an 'odious prick', which I rather liked.

Yes, I rather enjoyed that. I have a definite soft spot for the word 'odious' because, somewhere in the back of my brain, it carries with it the idea of calling someone smelly

Yes, one can of course be both odious and odiferous, but to use both epithets would seem like over-egging the pudding somewhat, wouldn't it?

Yes, non-footballistically, that didn't help. A few weeks ago he said there were no black people in Britain.

Yes, he does seem to consider himself quite the expert on the UK with his one or two visits.

It was the Watford game what dunnit.

Losing at the Bridge to a fine Chelsea side who will walk the league this year is disappointing but manageable. Losing at home to Watford AGAIN has made me lose faith. It was so like Swansea last season, And Watford in the cup.

We have the quality and depth, I'd thought. The machine isn't working though.
