Only the 2 mentions of "papering over the cracks" at the weekend

3/10 for the press.Can do better.

[Peter]

Thus, even when he has a superb game, his very presence on the team sheet is ruining us, even when we win and win well.

He is one of the best liabilities i have ever seen.

[Luis Anaconda]

a bit of a strength when you have the likes of Walcott and Cazorla in the side

[Billy Goat Sverige]

patient passing game. That goal Vieira scored at WHL when we won the league :cloud9:

[Luis Anaconda]

interesting to hear Jol say we were a better team away than at home nowadays. He probably has a point

[Peter]

The fact remains that mertesacker is slow. Therefore it doesnt matter how well he plays, or how well he suits the way we play, he is a liability.

Dont you rememer how the press always ripped into pallister and bruce for their lack of pace? Oh, fearsome it was. Really quite awful at times.

I do love how some of these pundits carry something like this to the grave. Quite pathetic. :-)

[Peter]

To add to that list, which includes sylvestre.

Fine, no problem with that. But when it becomes f**king obvious over 18 months that you are horribly wrong, at least be man enough to admit it.

[Ashberto]

which has been taken by some Arsenal bloggers as proof that we don't play with one at all, (which appeared to be the case against Villa but not in the other two).

[Luis Anaconda]

[Peter]

At boro, or leeds, as we ripped them apart again and again.

One goal was from gilberto- break down the left, pires to the line, turned back inside, chipped to the edge of the box and gilberto volleyed in. Spectacular, and all about five seconds after play was in our own box.

[Curly]

is "only" a great shot-stopper

[Peter]

How the f**k did he do that? :yikes:

[Bergkamp's Brain]

respond to it on an interactive message board :-)

[The Tony]

No one at sky or the BBC would dear do a speed test.....seem to recall Mert finishing upsides Podolski and Arshavin in a sprint at London Colney earlier in the summer.

[Islington Exile]

One is a fantastic reader of the game who makes great interceptions and though a it slow his attributes make up for that. The other is the worst defender to wear the shirt that i can remember- worse than Stepanovs, Ceasar, Caton, Pates, etc
