In my limited time Arshevin was the most impactful January signing, and he had the added hurdle of learning about salad!

Agreed. And losing him in the same summer we lost Nasri to those cheating Manc scum was basically what started the end of the Wenger years. If we...

Don't trust goalscoring midfielders, I'm afraid. It goes to their heads and they forget their place and begin to neglect their midfield duties. ...

Yeah, same here. De gustibus non est disputandum, as they say. However I'm actually going to see Saxon in a few weeks time and admit to being...

We don't talk about him much these days but the young Fabregas was a phenomenal footballer. Almost perfect technically. Shouldn't have gone to...

I don't really do guilty pleasures. If I like something I'm not ashamed of it. This is right on the very border though :-) I heard Saxon on the...

He could get a haircut :-\ Young Raheem, I mean.

Nothing wrong with that. Not really. Wouldn't admit to it myself, mind, but there's nothing actually wrong with it.

Jose Antonio RIP.

Ozil was at his best providing for Cristiano Ronaldo :-\

I love Mesut. It was amusing watching the German version of the "Scottish when he loses" thing.

If you don't love Rosicky, you don't love football. {AW} If he could have stayed fit, he could have been an all time great. Chippy, Rocky, Bobby...

Not at all; form follows function. The thing that works the best always looks the best. Think of a Ferrari 308 or a Mossberg 500. Or even Thierry...

But creating and stopping chances is not the issue, so even Gabriel could be our "kitchen sink".

There is a certain beauty within functionality. ****ing horrible to watch though :-)

He took great delight in saying 'Trust the process :wink:' after a few losses post departure. So I dislike him.

Said at the time that ?30m for him was an utter steal!!

Beauty sacrificed for functionality - this is the modern game. We are lucky to have our captain

He was ****e at pressing. Even when he did it, he'd commit or miss the tackle. It's fair enough, he grew up in a game where it wasn't an issue....

Although I kind of know what you mean, I think Mesut was hugely misunderstood. His movement, his running should have been a good a good fit in any...

Message reported to Jorge

Ozil was a bit of a throwback to the old school 'free man'. In the modern game that guy needs to be able to press and be part of a system. Ozil was...

Agree with that but how could you forget Nacho? Best AW LB since Cashley. Could play CH too. Good defender who scored and assisted to boot. ...

I had completely forgotten who Monreal even was! Diaby and adebayor were both fantastic players who should have become world class and didn't....

He forced his way into the starting XI, ESR moved wide taking Gabby M's role on the wing and Odin was player of the month in March. He also had an...

Yep. Also, take a look at the other names on the list of countries that have completely banned vaping. That is NOT a list I would want to be on...

Yup. Your political/economic/democracy argument was exactly what I was saying. The fact that we've both come to precisely the same conclusion...

Hmmm. I will give you Kanu, Aubamayang, and Arshavin. I suppose Odegaard. I dont think Diaby or Adebayor's impact was immediate and particularly...

And the Good Lord sayeth "Have faith in Me and the glw will get a wood-burning stove just to maketh the front room look pretty cos she is a girly and...

Ha! Pretty much what I was getting at :-)
