    Yes, I wasn't blaming AOC himself, but his selection, as you say.

When we have enough to comfortably beat Watford even if a big decision goes against us, the team have to take responsibility.
    I agree with each word of that. I would merely add that the fact that Bayern keep cheating penalties off us, despite being better than us anyway, is actually part of the reason they're better than us. I suppose now Watford think they're better than us too

    Troy Deeney certainly seems to.

    What about if you want to finish fourth and know it isn't going to be easy? Doesnt that mean you need to, you know, try a bit every now and then?

    Or are we saying fourth place no longer matters?

    I want to see a fist fight.

    In a sense, fourth place does no longer matter, now that we've finished fifth and seen that it's not so bad as we may have thought.

    Still early days though and all that.

    True. I suppose the slide down the table is inevitable under Stan's owndership. We all know it is coming and it is going to be with us for decades.

    I used to love it when we wanted to do well. I suppose we must all just get used to it.

    Cancel the fist fight and let us just celebrate another year (another!) in the Premier League.

    That's the spirit! And you never know, do you; if even Leicester City can fluke the title, maybe we can too one day.

    No, sorry. We know we cant win it. Leicester were too stupid to know they couldn't and therefore tried in all their games.

    You wont catch us making that sort of schoolboy error.

    We specialise in an altogether different set of schoolboys errors because that is what Wenger wants. One can see why a player who doesnt make those sorts of mistakes would be most unwelcome.

    Xhaka has been carrying an injury and needs to take about 2 months off to fully heal.

    The lunatic saw the below and decided to try it for free kicks and well...it didn't go too well.

    To keep him playing we have to drain his left foot twice a week.
