Another ordinary performance

[redgunamo]

It's a lot harder to earn those minutes when the boss spends 120 million on two players who immediately sit ahead of you.

That's the point. If Arteta had real confidence in him, he would have spent his money elsewhere

Perhaps he wouldn't mind selling him

Perhaps he wouldn't mind selling him

He may have to go on loan. Or wait for even more injuries....

[Ganpati's Goonerz--AFC's Aboriginal Fertility Cult]

As I said in the summer, the new guys are nicking his minutes. It was inevitable.

He has time on his side but over the next two seasons he does need games.

Spot on. {10 wotsits}

[Ganpati's Goonerz--AFC's Aboriginal Fertility Cult]

Come on.... you've never heard of their goalkeeper? Or Gravenberch?

3 of those 5 are guaranteed starters.

I know they bought a 70-80m goalie at the same time as VdV. I don't know what he's called. And as for that Gravadlax, never even heard of him. Doesn't even ring a vague bell like Rodri {who until this summer I didn't know was a DM} or De Bruyne {who I now know isn't even a Cloggie. Which proves he's a wrong'un.}

FTR - I had heard of that TAA full back chap who left on a free.

But let's be honest, these lot all sound like Mickey Mouse Scousers. Barnes, Beardsley, Rush, Dalglish etc. You knew where you were with them lot. Souness, Phil Neal, Terry McDermott, Steve McMahon etc. Pwoppa Scousers. Don't really trust these new signings. Their 80m 'keeper - will he take a bung to throw a game like their Rhodesian? If so, we should have a whip 'round. Unless he's been bought off already.

Two of those might be Scousers, McDermott and McMahon. Barnes is Jamaican, Beardsley a Geordie, Rush Welsh, Dalglish Glaswegian, Souness also a Scot but from Edinburgh and Phil Neal is a Midlander. I bought a house from his son Ashley when he was binned off by Peterborough United. Dad was a witness signature which excited my solicitor no end.

Yes, that is the 80 million quid keeper. The Gravenberch chap, or whatever his ****ing name is, is a decent player.

Dalglish was an absolute ****. Not really relevant, but I felt it needed saying

Oh, don't come over all Farragist on me, PJ. Daveed, Big Willy, Big Gabby etc are Gooners. Therefore Barnes, Beardsley and Rush are Scousers.

Glad you made your solicitor happy. But I'm just saying I preferred the Scousers of the '80s to this modern lot. I even preferred that late '90s version with Fowler the Prowler and McManamanamanamanaman. As I say, you used to know where you were with them. Now all I know if they've brought the country's most expensive ever striker and got worse. And they didn't even have the excuse of flogging Rush to Juve for 3 mil.

{Thinking about it, it is quite scary that I can name more '80s Scousers than I can name non-AFC players in the PL atm. I've been quite lucky that two of the ones who most stood out - Dec and Easy - have both signed for us. As I said, I'd never even heard of Noni or Kai.}

What position does this Gravadlax play, then?

And two things about Dalglish. One, if he'd played for us we'd sing his name forever like with Chippy and Bergy. Two, he had the decency to lose Anfield '89 to us. In Hillsborough year. When they'd already won the cup. And hadn't lost by 2 goals at home for a couple of years. See, P? He's a good man. Knew we were his betters and rolled over accordingly.

Sorry, I intensely dislike the man. And nobody rolled over. We rolled them over. George knew

The Gravel bloke is a midfielder.

You?re just showing your age, Ganps. I could probably name stuff in the charts back in the 80?s , even the **** stuff, which was most of it, whereas; I?ve no idea if pop charts exist any longer.

This. Though it's the 70s in my case.

Ok, that's a fair point. But the thing is, I don't listen to modern music. But I watch more football than I did in the '80s. Most weeks of the season, I watch us twice. For most of the '80s it was the odd cup game and the one time a year when it wasn't the Scousers on MotD.

It was only late '80s that the one live game a week came in. I reckon that because there's just so much Arsenal "content" I don't need to read about other clubs.

In the '80s, say, you could have weeks without a story on us so would hear about players from other clubs.

I'd literally never heard of this Gravadlax Scouser and have no idea who plays for the Chavs at all, or Sperz now Kane's gone. I assume they've still got Son?

Son has gone.

[Ganpati's Goonerz--AFC's Aboriginal Fertility Cult]

Son has gone.

Has he? That would explain why they wanted Easy then. Who have they got? That Delly Alley went as well, didn't he? is Vertongen still about?

They're all gone, along with Steve Perryman and Mark Falco
