I too miss the halcyon days of 92/93 when at this stage we were in the title race at this stage and every game mattered.

Did you miss patty-cake sideways and backwards Wengerball back then too?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hope we relegate them, or go some way to it.

Mkhitaryan is properly dead it seems.

Ramsey.

Be fair, we were much worse to watch then. This season we've already scored 58 league goals, in 92/93 we'd scored 29 in 31 games
EDIT: Just looked at our actual results that year - from mid-November to early March we went on a run of 15 league games
In which we: W2 D5 L8 and scored 5 goals in all that time

We were actually good last night. Not at the back, we're all over the shop there but that isn't new news.
But tighten that up and we might actually have something, we were very good going forward.
Overall Now > Then.

Now > Then

You must be delusional. Or else you actually prefer backwards, sideways football to attacking football.

Nothing is better now, everything was better about the game back then - except maybe the kits. Footballers are bloody women today and the likes of Guardiola and Wenger have killed the entertainment stone dead with their horrendous possession games.

When you could actually feel something, when there was a soul. When they played for you.

Merse I idolised him...fat cunt now mind.

Football got fucking lost didn’t it.

Nasri > Merse

Can you imagine Nasri in that era? One tackle and he'd be retired to start a new career as a WAG.

[LDG]

Merson pisses all over Nasri like Nasri pisses all over his men.

Unrecognisable. You get the odd game every so often where you catch a glimpse of the old energy and commitment and passion, but the rest of the time you just endure it and wonder how the hell these mediocre players can get paid so much for not being able to do that much. They baulk at playing 2 games a week now, the poor lambs have to be rested up. Pampered posers made great by journos and pundits hyping the shit out of an essentially dead horse.

Mate of mine saw some...thing with John Barnes, incongruously it was in Dubai.
Anyway, he showed me a photo and Barnes has got really fat too
