  • Shirt

    Having never been sent the promised shirt for winning PPPL (twice!) I have just received the one I won in a recent Red Members' draw. Went for the blue away shirt.

    Just need some good fortune in the ticket ballot now to be able to wear it to a game! Will be two years next month since we last went to a match.

    The ballots.

    Worst thing the club has ever done other than employ Manuel Almunia.

    Oh, and buy Vermaelen. And then make him captain..
    Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.

          Very harsh on old Manuel. Part of Wenger's charm was that he would often gamble on a cheap signing. While uncovering a few germs it also guaranteed that we would see the odd absolute ****ball of a signing.

          That Park fella. He belonged on a park on a Sunday morning.

            Yeah but we got to sing:

            He'll shoot, he'll score
            He'll eat you labrador
            Ju Young Park
            Ju young Park

            One of my faves

              Do you want me to see if my mate has any spares? Or do you need two, and sitting together?

                That's a very kind offer GG. Would indeed need to be two sitting together.

                Plan was to target Sunderland game next (currently Sat 7/2 3pm) in the hope that Odegaard was back by then. Didn't get to see him two years ago as he was out injured. Saka had a poor game too although we beat Burnley 3-1. Zinchenko scored a cracker!

                Though if your mate has a pair going spare for Bayern . . . . . . . . . . . . .

                  Pepe. Didn't he cost all the money in the world?

                    70mil or so

                    However he did actually play football really well the odd time, just not enough. And he didn't come from Chelsea.

                    Sterling failed both of those tests

                      He also made a few telling appearances. Scored the 1st against United when we beat them 2-0 for Mikel's 1st win as manager. 27 goals in 112 appearances. Not worth ?72m but not as bad as say Anthony or the Ukrainian lad who Chelsea gazumped us for.

                        A terrible signing (given the cost) but not a terrible footballer.

                        Sterling is an odd one because he is (or was) a good footballer but was awful for us. Same with Willian. Those two put in some of the worst performances we've seen in years.

                        Mustafi wasn't a good footballer. Ever. And he wasn't cheap.

                          He was just totally the wrong player for us. He was a counter-attacker who used his pace with great control and finishing when put in behind. He was useless playing sexyball to break low blocks.

                          They thought cos he could score 20-30 a season that he's be a RW Alexis. But Alexis could play triangles with Santi and Ozi. Pepe wouldn't have had a clue.

                          Luckily Jorgy, then Kai then Noni have changed our minds about Chavski rejects.

                          But ftm, I'm still wary of Ivorian wingers after him and Gervinho.

                            I asked my Scouse mate about Raheem when he signed for us. He said RS was great for them, great for City but had gone right downhill since he left for CFC.

                              Pepe was the La Liga player of the month in August.
