is massively underrated.
Last couple of days all I've heard is how great Emi Martinez is (he isn't) and Courtois is best in the world (he is very good) but virtually no mention of Raya

I wouldn't say he is underrated but he doesn't get an awful lot of attention. He isn't flashy, our mouthy like Martinez. I wouldn't swap him for anyone and was thinking the other night how massively right Arteta was in replacing Ramsdale.Quote:

Raya needs to win the title or the Big Ears because when, Ganpati willing, we do he'll be talked about as an all-time Arsenal great. His composure reminds me of Spunky, he's produced some amazing saves and double saves this season and he's basically playing as a libero.Quote:

Never seen that before - poor Johnny. Also had a mare on my one trip To Elland Road in the cup in 93Quote:

Every time I see it's remains as we drive past the old library coming north from the Blackwall Tunnel, it brings back loads of memories. Like that forward line does. Or the end of the previous season with Limpar as well.
Oh, GeekWIMB. The end of the '92 season with Merse and Limpar was the first time I'd ever seen wingers swap flanks so they'd cut inside and we and most other teams do nowadays. Was it done before and if so by whom and when?
Yes - GG really went for it. Brave when you consider Leeds midfield was their title winning one (Strachan, Batty, McCallister and Speed)Quote:

Was there for the Wrighty finish in the 206th Replay one and another around that time we stuck 4 past them again.
Also, a miserable day of pissing down rain when we lost to a Dacourt freekick.
On another ocassion, we drew 1-1 and I was in their main stand as a guest of a company (IIRC). First time I realised how ****-scared the opposition fans were of Thierry Henry.
Pires scored for The Arsenal right on half time. The crowd so silent I could hear the ball rake down the net from the halfway line :love:
