We’ve got Tierney and Bellerin back now too so hopefully that won’t happen.Bruce Rioja wrote: ↑Fri Sep 27, 2019 3:10 pmTo be honest, with all that's been going on at our place I've seen precious little other footie, but I hear that you're not currently great at the back.

He was playing really well for us before he was injured and he should easily now command a place every week owing to the fact his ‘competition’ is so crap that there were calls from fans for a statue of Martinez outside the ground for managing to keep a clean sheet with Luiz and Mustafi in front of him last night. but what I’d like further opinions on is whether he would be a good choice as first team captain? Currently it’s been mostly Xhaka who’s not been brilliant but we don’t have loads of choice... I know he was very young when he left Bolton but do you think he is captaincy material?
And please, Piers Morgan, poster boy?! The most embarrassing fan our club has!
Apols for the Morgan remark He didn't do the credibility of your club any favours this morning, but then who'd expect anything else?!

Who else would you have alongside those 3? One of Mustafi, Luiz or Sokratis, all of whom seem to have a mistake/red card in them or do you have someone else to slot in? Will Holding even be first choice?
Shocked by the Xhaka decision. He’s hardly a leader of men and another with a red card never too far away!

Aye, Xhaka is a bit of a liability that way but then so was Patrick Vieria who also played in a similar position. The similarities end there though!

Re: Diving Arsenal Players - The Least Shocking Admission Ever
Well that was traumatic. Let the twins stay up to watch. They’ve probably gone to bed to have nightmares now. Only Arsenal could manage to score 5 at Anfield and lose
Goodness knows what Emery is playing at with Özil. The one bright spot is Martinelli. Watch this space. The boys gonna be very good...

Re: Diving Arsenal Players - The Least Shocking Admission Ever
Wenger has joined FIFA as head of global football development. Good. Would have been too weird seeing him at another club. If he wants to take Unai Emery as his right hand man I’d be open to that though...

Re: Diving Arsenal Players - The Least Shocking Admission Ever
No Frankfurt fans allowed and Arsenal only sold tickets to silver members so red members couldn’t buy tickets. That, combined with the fact it was Europa, on tv and our shocking form meant a record low crowd I think. I did debate going but very glad I didn’t. Going to Freddie’s first home game in charge next week insteadBruce Rioja wrote: ↑Fri Nov 29, 2019 11:37 amBy the way, how few were there, last night?Burnden Paddock wrote: ↑Fri Nov 29, 2019 10:29 amEmery sacked.

Serious question - How do you think it'd go down amongst Gooners if you landed Nuno Whatsito from Wolves?

Re: Diving Arsenal Players - The Least Shocking Admission Ever
I think it ŵould be far less controversial then if Pochettino got it! He's done well with wolves, Brendan Rogers a possibility too? The thing is, it's not just Emery's fault, we just aren't good enough (attack aside). Our defence and midfield are not in the same class as most of our rivals. If Bellerin, Holding and Tierney could all get a run of games together in defence then that would help, but I was talking to a Liverpool fan friend yesterday and he said the only player that would probably make it into their team would be Aubameyang, and he's right. You can't just blame the coach and expect a new manager to work miracles...Bruce Rioja wrote: ↑Sun Dec 01, 2019 3:56 pmGooner Girl wrote: ↑Fri Nov 29, 2019 10:41 pmBehave!Bruce Rioja wrote: ↑Fri Nov 29, 2019 9:52 pm
