oh
Who gives a fuck about that?
I can just as easily point out Euro 2012 and Ox being a bit shit and Theo being our best player or last season where Theo had goals and assists and Ox apart from one game v Mancs wasnt seen
But like i said, i am not in the business of critisising one player to praise another
I am an Arsenal fan. I support them all
Didnt Theo get an assist?
Same as Ox but Theo was on the pitch for a shorter time?
I know people get on Theos back cos they believed all the hype back in 2006 and he was going to be the next Pele whatever and go on to score 50 odd goals a season every season.
I fortunately am a bit more realistic. Hes been fine. Scores goals and assists and scares the shit out of opposing teams. Job well done tbh
Need to sign a new contract though or il join the deluded and clueless crew and say the laughable "he hasnt improved at all since he joined" line which always comes out
Well I suppose he did get an assist. It was a comedy routine involving himself, Stupidly and some other non-entity. They were all pissing around at the edge of the box trying to get rid of the ball as fast as possible so they wouldn't have to assume responsibility. Eventually Theo fluffed it into Milner's path and donkey boy swung a boot at at it.
PHW to win it every week, by pure chance.

These rags have some nerve assuming they know what Arsenal fans are calling for. They're well off base with this story. Ox still has a lot to prove and has only been here for one season. There is no need to offer anything at this point in time because he's in no danger of leaving and just wants to play, develop and become a regular. I'd be pissed off if we tripled his wages now.Quote:
Penny pinchers: Arsenal only offer to reward Oxlade-Chamberlain with less than Chamakh gets

Gunners are in talks over a new £45,000-a-week contract that still puts him below the likes of Squillaci and Bendtner
Fast learner: Oxlade-Chamberlain is already in the Arsenal and England first

Arsenal are facing new accusations of penny pinching over their bid to reward Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
The England forward is in negotiations over a new contract, but Arsenal planned to offer him less than flops Marouane Chamakh, Sebastien Squillaci and Nicklas Bendtner.
The trio all earn about £50,000 a week and it is understood Arsenal hoped to treble Oxlade-Chamberlain’s pay packet to £45,000 a week.
Such an offer may seem generous for a 19-year-old, but he has already established himself as a first-team regular for both Arsenal and England, and is rated one of the brightest prospects in Europe.
The news will infuriate Arsenal fans, who are *already angry at the club’s failure to pay their top stars the going rate.
Arsenal want to reward Oxlade-Chamberlain for his whirlwind progression since joining from Southampton last summer. But he is already tied to a long-term contract and there is currently no danger of him quitting the Emirates.
Oxlade-Chamberlain has reiterated he is happy at Arsenal, but they will need to up their offer to £60,000 to sort the issue quickly.
