    The strange thing is of late we have had a few players who seemed like better candidates, several of our players have been captains of their respective national team. But none of them ever got made Arsenal captain

    I remember when SWP was MOTM for City every week. So much so their fans renamed it, Shaun of the match.... Seems a lifetime ago now...

    Call me soft in my old age but I didn't think it was that dull and I have to admit that often when people are bemoaning how bad we are to watch I often can't see it.

    Just how god Kos was and how much he has settled the backline down has been really understated in general. And with how Giroud has looked since he has been back Welbeck has to do far more to justify starting ahead of him imo.

    Also I don't think we really do have a mental block against the best teams. It is just a combination of being an inferior team, less prepared, more tactically naive and so on.

    It is not Wenger's job to gee the players up while they're out on the pitch, IMO that's the captain's job.
    But, of course, it's Wenger's job to make sure we have a captain who can do that.
    If you think one player will sort out our problems, you're a bigger idiot than I thought you were.

    I loved it when I first heard it but then it got a bit monotonous on repeat listening. Ultimately there's not enough depth in there for me. Then again, I've been a bit spoiled since I discovered this. I rate this as probably the best sound effects video of modern time, possibly of all time.

    I don't think it's actually possible for you to be a bigger idiot than I think you are
    And once again, Stupidus Maximus, you resort to lying about other people's opinions because you're too dense to understand them.
    Obviously it wouldn't sort out all our problems but a strong captain would obviously help. We haven't had one since Vieira.

    I know Ramsey was Wales captain. I think there were a couple of others a few years ago who were captains of their national teams.

    Don't try that bullshit with me.

    A strong captain apparently prevents us from shipping goals, from having no tactics, from defensive fuck ups. You are a tool.
