    He’s no Stapleton, I’ll grant you. On the other hand he’s no Lee Chapman, is he?

    Looking up Chapman's tally for us he was about 1 goal every 6 games. Gronkey may be marginally better but not much. I can develop no love for a striker until he's leathered one in, RoR style, from about 30 yds as part of a hatrick against big beast opposition.

    You can tell him that yourself as he's coming on now. Gabriel too.
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    Thing is, he did used to belt a few in from distance.

    We've coached that out of him

    Bloody right. It's giving the ball away, even if you score.
