This was the funniest comment on Glory Glory for me as the guy is being deadly serious:
They seem to overrate their players massively whereas we tend to underrate ours.Sandro, Paulinho, Capoue, Dembele, Holtby and Siggy is as good a line-up of CMs as there is in the league.
Just made my monday morning by reading the Spuds thread. The prick that calls himself 7percent states things that happened a century ago as being the difference between us & them. He also says Spurs have never moved from their London home - No, but you fucking wanted to only to get beaten by West Ham. Honestly, Barnet are more of a threat to us than this lot.
I don't think there's too much underrating going on round these parts tbf.Originally Posted by Grebbo
Not now but last year people were slagging off our players left right and centre, and it's not like we've signed a load of new first choice players for this season.
Yes we have! We've signed one player! ONE!
The rest have just gotten good by luck.
Wenger has nothing to do with it either before you start....
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
When it is going well, people tend to accentuate the positives and vice versa when it is not. Over the past couple of days, some people have been going nuts about Gnabry. Understandable as he had a fantastic match, but he is still a kid and the challenge for him will be maintaining that kind of form or regaining confidence when things don't go so well for him.
I was going to post something similar about Gnabry this morning, but thought better of it in case I started an "argumement".
But the kid will have a few good games, and then some howlers too over coming seasons. Those howlers will inevitably lead to people branding him "shit".
Then others will hark back to this game, and cite them as reasons for him having the "potential" but for one reason or another he is unable to be consistent.
Then we'll all be praising another flavour of the month, and saying that he should be replacing Gnabry in the side, who is clearly not up to it.
And so the cycle goes.
Right now, Jack Wilshere is shit. Next year he won't be. Gnabry will be. And so will *randomly generates* Ozil.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
No.
Gnabry's talent is there for all to see, he'll have bad games but his talent can't be questioned, his pacey attacking is something we've lacked a long time.
Wilshere on the other hand I've never understood the hype about, he's not a top talent IMO, having seen plenty of him he's not a matchwinner and doesn't seem to possess any really special talent, if he wasn't English noone would give a monkeys about him, based on what I've seen of him so far I don't really rate him that highly, in addition to that his behaviour is questionnable.
Ox-Chamberlain I do rate highly despite him having produced little so far, but the talent is there for all to see, likewise with Gnabry, it might not work out for him but he certainly has something special about him.
I love how many of them think the gap is closing and that they only need to clear "one last hurdle"! Sorry spuds, you had your chance for that and you blew it - the gap is only going to get wider again now, and this time it's gonna be forever...
That's the impact big signings have on clubs, something many people didn't seem to understand before. The signing of Ozil may just be one signing but it's created a buzz around the club which has filtered through to the players and made them raise their game.
Some people have been saying this for years.
