Yes, they could've summarily punished City years ago and THEN allowed the legal process to play out. THIS stinks of cover-up. And why would the PL be interested in that, in delaying justice.

So it's not just my memory. We haven't scored a direct FK in ages, then.

We need to work on that. If everyone knows we're great at corners but shîte at FKs, then they might as well scythe us down on the edge of the box as opposed to risking giving away a corner.

Remember when Titi started? We all mocked him for taking corners {our CF should be in the box, ffs} and his first season attempting FKs. Then he got great at dead ball delivery - the FK against Buffon, the CL final etc.

If Ødin, B and Dec can take such good corners, why can't they teach themselves to score a direct FK?

If we can't, maybe we should get a routine where we knock the FK diagonally backwards towards the wing and then curl it into the box for the big lads who keep, Ganpati willing, scoring corners.

The skipper scored one a couple of seasons ago.

Though it was when we still had Laca. Is that really the last time we scored won, ffs?

I think he scored one at Burnley. A few years ago, though.

I would have thought Trossard would take a decent free kick.

Me, too. But wasn't it him taking bad corners that meant that Dec started doing them on the right? But yes, if he can curl a moving ball into the top corner, why not a dead ball?

I've been working at the Arsenal Training Ground and I've heard some very interesting striker news/gossip...
