Arsenal Players On Internationals

[Maestro]

I think Girourd has started to look more confident recently then in the beginning. . .at the start is board language looked very non-plussed.

Giroud can change. . . .Cripps on the other hand

good morning JSAO ....how is the rising sun?

[Cripps_orig]

I dont base everything by the stat sheet as opposed to you. His overall play has been very good, he always gets involved and makes it difficult for defenders. In the past few games for us he has been pretty good. You can see he is getting more confident by the game. He scored that clutch goal tonight and proved last year for Montpellier that he can score some big goals. He needs a run of games to get going, you can see that the balance and team play improves when he is in the team. Ill concede that he needs to score goals, im confident that he will get rolling if he gets a run of games under his belt. You should have some more faith rather than being a prick sometimes bud.

Just saying what i see

Hes been average and not the best player of all time as you would like to believe cos hes scored in a game which has f all to do with Arsenal

I have faith he might come good. You apparently think he already has. You have low expectations

I agree, his performances are definitely improving and he is doing this in spite of the personal pressure he is under. If he continues in this and acclimatises to the game, we will be a better team with him in it.

But for real, remember who your replying to. This is the guy who thought Chamakh was world class before we bought him.

Making things up

[Mr. Lahey]

Ach if you actually read what i wrote, I said he is BEGINNING to prove his doubters wrong. I have in no way insinuated that he has made it at Arsenal, so knock that BS off please. He does have lots of work to do which I conceded, but things are not as cut and dry as you see it. Im glad you admitted he may come good and as an Arsenal fan thats the way it should be.

Agreed 100% - now all we need is for the NHLPA to accept the owners offer and we are back in business!!

and he got off to a flying start with us. but I actually agree with Ach quite a bit, just not in this case.

I probably got it from the same place where you got the "me getting everything from the stat sheet"

That was as much BS as what i said
