For this squad to get 4th, its one hell of an achievement, when only a few weeks ago they looked like they'd not finish in the top 10. It not sucess no and the failings will be there and im sure im the summer the team wil look better at the start of next season then this.Quote:

Well, at least we'll have lots to moan on about on here as per usual. We already see the mood when we play some semblance of decent footie and eke out a win, place turns into a fucking ghost town.Quote:

You/People still watch Wenger interviews?Quote:

Ain't watched one in about a year.Quote:

Don't remember saying it was. i guess it depends where we finish and what happens at the end of the season.Quote:

Sorry master. I forgot who I was replying to..Quote:

robson was making some sense until he started spouting crap about theo not being good enough to play up front.
something along the lines of 'with his back to goal hes not very good and he needs much more than just pace to play up top'
seeing as i lost count of the number of times he got the ball with back to goal yesterday and laid it off to a teammate or turned the defender and played it out wide to chambo, i think it goes to show he's just talking to get a bit of attention.
http://www.goal.com/en/news/article?contentId=3613548 what a ****. What reaction would he get should we face Barca? Cesc will no doubt be booed. So should Song imo
Why should neither be booed.Quote:

Does Song get any game time?
A passenger most of the time.Quote:

Originally Posted by Grimandi's Perm
