    That's not what I said though, is it.

    Fair enough. So are you saying that if you simply plucked, say, Cruyff out of the early 70s and simply transplanted him as he was then into a modern side, he would struggle to stand out?
    If so, that's a fairly banal point, since all those other factors I mentioned would mitigate against him.

    My only real point is in preparing everyone for the abject sh*tness that Pepe is destined to bring to The Arsenal before his inevitable sale to West Ham in the summer of 2021

    But do you want to be right?

    Tricky one for you, I reckon.

    I had this quandry last season after defending Wenger for so long, and was relieved to discover that as I watched us play I found myself as keen as ever to see us win.

    Indeed, as you may have noticed, I was one of the fiercest defenders of Emery's debut season on here, right up until it became leeetle beeet embarrassing to stick up for the ugly gormless comedy-voiced monoglot c*nt (although some would say that's never stopped me before)

    No, I don't remember you defending Emery, right from "Mummy, there's a strange man in the dugout."

    This is like watching a malevolent cat with its paw on a mouse's tail. Will you be toying with Monty before the evisceration b? I see he is already retreating into "look, alls I wuz sayin" territory

    Pffff.

    Ask WES - we became unlikely allies on this issue, while Burney and Charlie were c*nting him off left, right and centre (concidently all positions that pepe will be sh*t in).

    No. He rolled over and stopped wriggling and now I've lost interest.

    I shall be in the corner licking my arsehole if anyone needs me.
