    If they can't be arsed, why would I be?
    The Arsenal of the early/mid 80s was pretty **** imo. But you could love them.

    This current crop (and about the last 5-10 years) have been a bunch of unlikeable pansies and now we have a Poundland Mourinho managing them.

    It is like pissing in the wind / shovelling water uphill with this lot...

    Tierney, Holding, Gabriel, Xhaka, Saka and Smith-Rowe. That should be the basis of a decent side. The rest of them aren't worth a cup of cold piss.

    Swap Martinelli for Xhaka, and I'd completely agree with you.

    If I was facing the sack I wouldn’t put my faith in Xhaka being our saviour.

    Would roll the dice and gamble on that Miguel Asneeze kid next to Partey for the 2nd leg.

    According to my extensive research ie YouTube...he appears to be very good.

    Nothing to lose with a P45 looming.

    Sorry to disagree but he's been one of the few players who've stepped up. Was excellent again yesterday at LB......not that he had much to do
