OMG. Just checked my comments on the Guardian.

At the weekend, I posted this:

Yes it was Sheffield United but I must say that Chambers was outstanding tonight. I lost count of the amount of times he controlled passes pinged into him from all over the the pitch and in the same time moved the ball positively. Considering the debate carries on over Bellerin and Soares (both of whom have their pros and cons) Chamber’s appearances this season have been extremely eye catching. And I hope to see more of him. All that said the Spuds losing made my day.

Some gooner replied:


Wenger signed Cafu as a CB then sent him straight out loan to first 'Boro then Fulham who then both got relegated. 'Oh but he was Fulhams POTY' they cry.
Jog on. They got relegated

He's clearly not a RB and regardless of what people say clearly isn't fast or good enough to be anywhere near Arsenals starting 11 and if he and the other clown Rob Holding start on Thursday then it's game over.

Me. I got something right on footy.

That's a first.

Rob H and Callum C.

No idea why I'm right for once. Other than both are great and I hope they both stay with us for all their careers.

Btw, when we signed CC, our scout said he thought he was the best of the lot of that generation of Saints' kids.
