Conspiracy theory? That's required for the ref to fuck it up is it? Anyway, the ref got it right. The assistant fucked up.

He's also left footed...

Gervinho just doesn't look healthy in that.

Speaking of which - along with Diaby - Gerv has surprised me so far this season. Still think he's a ball-less coward who couldn't take a penalty in a pressure situation to save his mother's life but that spidery causing havoc shit he does is awesome. Squad looks in so much better shape now that players like Diaby, Gibbs, Ramsey and Gervinho look decent.

Most clubs have their own font for the CL and Europa League. I think UEFA tried to have a mandatory standardised font but gave it up after about a year so everyone just uses what they want.

Maybe we should use a font that's impossible to read so when the ref wants to book us he can't :dance:

I was referring to this season. He hasn't scored any goals to cover anything up...he's been pretty solid each game bar one dodgy tackle that was harshly punished and one mix-up between him and merts. Other than that...he seems to be getting it in the neck for his AWAL moments last season. Haven't seen any of the same mistakes that you make out he's done.

He;s also got the experience of a captain after captaining Ajax...something that we need this season. Not sure Kos or Mert offer that. Only other player is Arteta and possibly Poldi but early Arsenal days for him.

And which player always looks the most pissed off when Arsenal concede...look at Verms reaction when Szez messed up ...he was livid...he hates conceding and I think he's looked the bees this season...yes early days but there has been a notable improvement and he should definitely get credit for that, not slammed on his last season's faults.

Well when there are people calling for him to be dropped and replaced by Kos, yeah I'd say that's pretty harsh criticism - and totally out of whack with the performances he's given so far this season.

i'm going on a whole season which is a far better indicator than a few games.

comparing kos to verm on that basis, then kos should be starting ahead of him.

I agree but having this problem is lovely. There have been times where we are struggling for one decent CB, having three is a lovely dilemma.

very true. without doubt verm is a good defender - it's just that kos is better.

Bit silly as he is our captain and it would look daft dropping him.

Then you should account for his first season with us as well....and compare that to Koscielny's first season which was pretty poor. Overall and based on this season, there is no need to disrupt the Vermaelen Mert partnership that was all I was saying. No need to call for Vermaelen to be dropped on the way he's played so far this season. Kos is an equally good defender now granted, but if it ain't broke don't fix it. It will be a big test this Sunday.

that doesn't make any sense. you judge someone on their most recent long stretch of form - which would mean a season - going back further really has no relevance.

as i said before, i am not saying drop him for giving away a penalty. during the off season i said i wanted a kos-merts partnership and my thoughts on that have not changed.

verm is a good defender. but kos is better.
