Match Reaction vs Man City (away).

[Niall_Quinn]

Screw the media. I stopped reading and watching what they had to say a long time ago.

You're missing out on the fun. Watching biased journos have temper tantrums in print is the icing on the cake.

Oh and that shitty were understrength.

To be fair they only had £38m Aguero up front and could only bring £26m Jovetic off the bench.

What chance does that give them?

[Master Splinter]

He was the real man of the match, busting his balls as he worked the line across one of the best - and certainly most expensive - defences in the Barclays Premier League.

While taking on the hordes of internet adversaries attempting to usurp his position as the ultimate Internet Champion, the blood has rushed to his head and the furiously frothing foam spilling from his mouth has encompassed the keyboard, leading to such basic factual errors.

Citeh's defence was actually cheaper than ours. They've only spent big on Mangala and Kolarov. Maybe Ashton should focus his attention on identifying why such an imperious group of defenders is conceding so many goals. He might come to the conclusion that they need to spend more money on more playa in that area. And that Cazorla sux.

Giroud was outstanding, possibly his best game for us after Tottenham at home in the league last year. His touch was brilliant and he was winning more than his fair share of battles. If Ashton wanted to just make a point about that, it could've made a great article. But without adding the Cazorla comment (and there was no doubt at all that Cazorla was man of the match. Completely bossed the midfield), he wouldn't get the attention or hits. Nature of sports journalism these days - they're selling to the loudest idiots.

Coquelin's contract runs out at the end of the season

He kept plucking the ball out of the air Bergkamp style.

Coquelin's contract runs out at the end of the season

Flamini Mk II

[Syn]

Which time?

1. the one where Flamini left in 2008 because we made a mistake not to offer him a good enough contract early?
2. the one where Flamini returned last season, pointed and shouted a bit and landed a 3 year contract on fan hype that the club is now regretting?

Coquelin's played a handful of games and could easily become the poor performer that didn't impress at Charlton or in the Bundesliga last season. I wouldn't offer him a contract right now, I'd wait until the end of the season. I doubt a better club than Arsenal will offer him a contract, and whether he stays or leaves, we should get Schneiderlin anyway.

[Power n Glory]

We won't buy an experienced DM. The most likely outcome is we'll lose Coquelin and test that Polish 17 year old in his place.
