Both did well on saturday to be fair. Any mean comments would in this case be inappropriate.Quote:

He is the most exciting home-grown prospect of ours I've seen for years.Quote:

MotD wouldn't be interested in him because he's not England's next Great Hope.Quote:

But yes Iwobi is very exciting indeed. He'll have a bad game soon though and people will start attacking him
Tell us again about Olivier GiroudQuote:

I'd say 2 and 4 are the greatest dangers.
Oddly enough 1 and 3 did for me. And drink, which would clearly be number 5.Quote:

This is where he disappeared to.Quote:

The thing is, he's a homegrown (albeit technically Nigerian) talent. You'd think he'd get the free ride someone like Wilshere does on the back of that.Quote:

I know exactly what you meant. He disappeared to our youth team and then to Pulis' bench. I think we missed out there.Quote:

There was a chap in the 30s - I forget his name - whose confidence was shattered by the grumblies. "They hate me!" he observed.Quote:
