Thats a Richmond sausage he's holding there.

Thats a Richmond sausage he's holding there.

it is a bit of a sausage finger... I think we should call him Jack sausage-finger from now on...

[bwfcdan94]

Arsenal's game with Chelsea in 8 days time suddenly looks very important now especially after the collapse at Citeh today, If Arsenal were to win against Chelsea then I think people might have to start taking them seriously but lose and it could be another "it all fell apart at Christmas" seasons.

[Gravedigger]

That's a massive finger.....bet his Mrs is overjoyed.....

Nah. He's left handed.

[Harry Genshaw]

Thats a Richmond sausage he's holding there.

That repetitive strain injury from all the table tennis obviously never went away!

[seanworth]

I see Ozil doesn't think much of the Arsenal fans.

[thebish]

I see Ozil doesn't think much of the Arsenal fans.

what's Ozil done/said?

ahhh - i see - he didn't go over and give the fans one of those half-hearted sideways claps that the fans love so much...

[jaffka]

Arse draw Bayern.

So that's another trophy gone for this season.

[Raven]

Am I the only person in the world who does not understand all the hype over Wilshire, good yes, world class never, Ramsey on the other hand..

[bwfcdan94]

Always thought Ramsey was better than Wilshire, lets put it this way would Wilshire get in the Citeh team let alone the Bayern team.

Yes, I'd wager he would.

[bwfcdan94]

Seriously so you would play him instead of Yaya Toure or Scweinstiegger? I don't know what your smoking but I want some if it makes Jack Wilshere look like the best holding midfielder in the world. Ill remind you of this statement when England and t5here inspirational Jack get knocked out of the world cup group stages.

Since when did City and Bayern start playing one player in midfield

Regarding your world cup statement, that must mean that Yaya Toure will be shite when Ivory Coast don't win the world cup either.

[Gravedigger]

On the other hand, Dan. Would Toure get in the England team? No. Would JW get in the England team? Course he would. End of argument.

[bwfcdan94]

Well both normally play a diamond in midfield, so Would he get in instead of Silva or Gotze? If Y.Toure was English he would walk into the England team he was probably City's best player last season.

He'd get in ahead of Milner 100% and he's as good as Nasri at least. (Don't rate Toure that highly as he goes missing away from home)

As for Bayern, I'd have him ahead of Kroos

[plymouth wanderer]

IMO he'd start more often than not for Citeh. But not for Bayern

Sleeve gate.......what's your take on it GG?

A tricky one as its a long standing tradition at Arsenal that the captain chooses long or short sleeves yet Flamini is a grown man and if he feels he plays better in short sleeves...

I think, whilst he may not be happy about it, he needs to roll his sleeves up and get stuck in literally. Would be more of a problem if he wanted to wear long when everyone else was wearing short. Cutting them off is a bit OTT. Wengers not impressed!

It's ridiculous at that at that level of the sport, when you consider how much they put into getting the most marginal improvements in a players performance, then get arsey when one of them wants to wear short sleeves. It's a stupid tradition anyway.

We also have a tradition that we always wash the goalies shirt before it's worn too. I quite like that the club have many funny little traditions tbh.

Did that start after Seaman?

Goes back to a time we lost to Cardiff. GtE and Bobo will probably remember it well... 1927 in the cup final and a ball slipped under goalie Dan Lewis' shirt. He claimed it was because the shirt was greasy and ever since they have always washed the goalkeepers shirts. Should have washed Szczesny's a few more times before last weekends game really...

[Gooner Girl]

When I went on a tour of the Emirates they said the keeper always sits closest to the dressing room door, but Jens Lehmann used to complain the bell was too loud so they moved the bell rather than the seating arrangement.

Also that they had traditional wooden benches round the dressing room, but when players complained they made their arses sore they had to install some padding.

There was also something about the shape of the room being non-square and the away dressing room being square, for some psychological reason.

When I went on the tour they said that the table in the middle of the dressing room is slightly taller in the away one so if people want to see each other over the top of it they have to stand up whereas in the home one they can see each other sitting down...

Y'see, in the old Crazy-Gang Wimbledon days they'd have broken the legs off and put them on the table top, on the floor.
