    Sure he was hit and miss with his final ball a few times but im happy with his performance. We need to him stay fit though cos his replacement is a pub team league one rated player and has done f all so far bar score a hit and hope v Shrewsbury which the keeper should have saved anyway
    ignoring your shit wumming at hte bottom. you are wrong to an extent. it was not just a chance he missed, it was a chance to end othe game completely. it was 2-0 with about ten mins to go. if he missed that and bolton scored, knowing our defence we would have drawn. chances like that have to be taken because of the state of the team, one goal for bolton after that miss and we wouldnt have won

    am i right in thinking he is the only winner in our squad with arsenal?
    Yeah I don't doubt he loves the club, I've always said I've felt that, but when you're 29 odd and you're contract is almost up winning trophies must come into the equation.

    Think you're right.

    The problem for me is that he hasn't got much better than when we bought him 4 years ago. He showed signs of real improvements a couple of years back (before he got injured) and then regressed to where he was. I understand he has been troubled by injuries but even so he is nowhere near the level he should be. I don't really blame him as much as I blame Wenger. I blame Theo in that he has no balls...I actually think he does have 'brains' and is an intelligent player but he just freezes up like a fucking child far too often. We have seen many players come here with talent and then go on to be average players - I don't think Wenger is as good at getting the best from players as he used to be (I have no idea why that might be, though).

    Two things Theo can do: 1) Run fast, 2) Finish. If he grows some balls, he could get a lot of goals. What he can't do - and I find it disgusting how easily other players in the league can do this - is take players on. Ashley Young, Bale, Van der Vaart and many others can beat a couple of players and do something productive at the end of it. Theo has one trick. He looks to edge forward to the defender and then go on the outside...his success rate wouldn't be far (any?) better than Eboue's. He pretty much always pushes the ball too far and the defender is easily able to get a foot in and stop him. Very frustrating.

    I'd be tempted to rip up the Theo project and start fresh with Oxo...and Wenger should advise completely the opposite of what he advised Theo. Maybe Oxo has a career at RB.

    true i think it will come into it. if he leaves us, imo i think he will go to europe. madrid etc as i cant see him wanting to play against us etc.

    Forgot to mention - on a brighter note, how good was Song's goal yesterday? That was much more difficult than it looked. Very quick feet and great finish off-balance.

    Theo scored 12 goals i think last season from the wing. Already has 3 this season. A vital player for club and country and apparently he hasnt got much better than when we bought him?

    Didnt realise he was getting in to double figures concerning goals as soon as we got him

    song has great skill like that, think he did against chelsea last year, jinxed into the box (i might be wrong though he did score)

    Sure.

    He missed and hes no better than what he was when we got him

    Lets ignore everything hes done since we got him and you'd be right

    Im a bit more realistic than that
