I thought the bookies always had last season's champs as favourites. I don't really bet but every time I read an article about the upcoming PL/Div 1...

If Jeez goes, do we need a 3rd striker, or do we rely on MnM? Imagine if, God forbid, Kai for out for a long time again. We'd only have Vik.

Yup. A pwoppa Gooner. That's sort of what I was getting at. Shall we all chip in for a crate of Spesh?

No way are we selling Triphop. Amazing player. Would cost over 50m to get a player that good and that age. Well over 50m. And that's without...

Maybe it should be a crate of Special Brew, given he's Danish?

In 40 years, we've had Rioch for a year, Good Ebening for 18 months, and GG, AW and MA for the rest. We are so lucky to be the Arsenal. The Times...

I'm up for that. Maybe we could all chip in, WES could get a bottle of NSG from Paris and we could send it to him with the thanks of Awimb. I'll...

I agree that Dec at DM and MLS ahead of him is the starting point. MLS really has something about him. Hardly played all season and then him coming...

I think play Dec as DM. He's perfect there. We looked much better when we switched to him and MLS. He can break through the lines like Wigwam did...

Oh, come on, p. I wasn't literally saying give him a statue. I was saying metaphorically. I was saying we need to acknowledge the role he had as a...

Are we considering that it took longer to move the ball forward when we had Zubi at DM? With Dec there, it's more like when we had Wigwam cos both...

I defer to your superior knowledge. But for me, Wigwam and Dec in MF with Kai up top worked better than Dec and Kai in MF with Jeeez up top. In...

I thought Herbie was telling us that our three-legged, one-eyed donkey wasn't good enough, despite playing superbly in that 3-0 win that led to the...

I know. I don't get it. Let's just be happy for the first time in 22 years. Everyone else will have a new manager. We've seen how that normally...

And Kai almost won us the CL.

p - shanti, baba. Just chill. Let's wait to see what Santa brings this summer and in the mean time let's celebrate being champions and the fact...

Ooohh, shall we meet when I'm next in Paris to toast the season with cheese and Burgundy? Do try a Sainte-Maure de Touraine. The goat cheese log...

You and I have different memories, p. {And I do defer to your greater understanding of the game. I just like players with cannons on their tits.} ...

A Germanic Michael Oliver. Is there anything lower?

It won us the title. Look, I don't want to side track this thread with a discussion about the relative merits of counter-factual history {we can...

I know nothing about cars, 7s, but surely a RR engine makes a 2 ton car go at 180mph. So if you put that engine in a one ton Subaru, that really...

B at his best is like Bobby at his best. Fact.

So do I, but it doesn't always work like that. Remember the end of the '92 season. Merse and Limpar switched flanks. Pwoppa sexy ball. 7-1 vs...

What is NSG? Oh, and finest French cheese? If you like goat, that must include Sainte-Maure de Touraine.

Yet Vik was the only won who worked himself half a yard of space on the edge of the box and got a shot on target. Great last ditch block stopped...

And I'm sure MA would say that time after Dubai we played the best attacking football I'd pretty much ever seen from us. Yet we won sweet FA. ...

He's not. He's genuinely like that. Do you remember the great WI cricketers? That's why he's able to rifle the ball into the back of the net as...

As you know I don't get football, but for me: Triphop was a nailed on pen. Noni was a 50/50 but assuming he didn't dive - and why would he? He...
