let us not forget
“Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”
Martin Samuel made this point on the Sunday morning journos thingy. When he was in the team he was regularly criticised for not working hard enough and disappearing in big games. Now that he's out of the team he's pretty achieved Maradonna/Pele status amongst a certain cross-section of the support.
Personally, I think a chap being paid 350k a week to play football for the Arsenal should be able to find it within himself to play as the manager asks him to play.
Well, hopefully Dick will be gone in the summer. Pity it'll be too late to keep Rambo. Let AW manage the MF and attack and put GG in charge of the back 5. Simples.
Personally, I think the failure to clone AW Boys From Brazil style in the 21 years we had him was criminal.
He'd just be reaching maturity now.
He’s commitng himself towards * doing a pogba* Emery out ?
who was filling up Mesut's Porsche in front of us.
He was extremely insistent that Ozil is going nowhere.
Asked if he meant until the summer, and he said "no, after that too, we stay, we stay!"
Of course he is staying. Who in their right mind will take a 30 year old on £350K a week and is not in the team?
"Scoring a goal is better than sex" - Whoever said that was sticking it to the wrong woman
A Chinese team, whether he'd go there or not, is a different matter
Of course "we stay". At a reported £300k per week why would you leave?who was filling up Mesut's Porsche in front of us.

* which i see is exactly what ABR has just said up above.
Having reflected on the Bate game I believe there’s been a massive over reaction.
Sh*t happens.
Cech is useless, Mustafi is hot garbage, Kos is all washed up (yeah he was stunning vs Chelsea but they showed with no strikers), Lacazette was unlucky as I saw no connection between his elbow and the lad’s face, Mhkitaryan’s time is up and Suarez or Willock should start ahead of him, the pitch was desperate and let’s be fair they’ve won their league 13 years on the bounce...they are no ones mugs imo
There’s also some history here...they crushed Bayern 3-1 in the Champions league a few years back only for Bayern to go on and win the tournament so hopefully we’ll have a similar wake up call although given our defence and no away goals I wouldn’t exactly call it a certainty.
For the record, I’m very much with you on this.
I’d be entirely happy giving him at least two more seasons’ grace, regardless of how the rest of this one pans out.
People who are questioning him at this point are as contemptuous as anyone who turned on Wenger.
Not many were accusing him of rank incompetence when we went 22 games without loss and pasted Spurs while playing fantastic football.
It wasn't that long ago, you know.
