Arteta is our captain says it all
BFG was at the weekend...I think, not that I saw any direction.
Society is now one polished horde
Formed by two mighty tribes, the bores and the bored.
"After all, it was the Gunners’ goalkeeper who started the move that culminated in Thomas’ crowning glory. It was Lukic who, in injury time, decided to throw the ball out to Lee Dixon rather than lump it long..."
Arteta is officially the Capo
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
From the 6 group games, we want 3 home wins and 2 away draws. We'll beat Dortmund at home. Not sure we'll top the group though, we'll get enough for 11 points but if Dortmund are more clinical fair play to them. They played very, very well on Tuesday. Klopp deserves a lot of respect.
As said before, it's a complete waste of time and energy playing in this CL competition if we have no chance of winning. We giving our bench players a run out and keeping the main players fit. Guys like Pod, Ox, Campbell, Rosicky...it should be used to give these guys games and a chance to show the manager they should be starting more games.
Taking over from Vermaelen, who also wasn't good enough to make the 1st team - it really is beyond a joke.
Arteta got the armband because he was popular in the dressing room! Its a joke because his footballing ability should also be considered, he is a bench player at best. He doesnt lead his team, he doesnt dominate the middle, he doesnt tackle or put himself about and is easily hurried off the ball.
But yeah, he is popular.
What gives you the idea that he's particularly 'popular' with his teammates? He was given the role mainly because of his seniority, partly because he's been a consistent performer for a few years and partly because of the lack of obvious choices. But it's irrelevant as we know - Wenger kept Vermaelen out the team and so if he feels Arteta is no longer the best option within the squad for that DM role then he won't be starting.
Spot on.
Arsene himself said "Mikel is very popular with this team mates and they all respect him". Vermaelen was kept out of the side by a very consistant prtnership that lose something like 1 game in 40 games together (90 minutes) not to mention that he was struggling with injuries (he is out injured from the WC) so i wouldnt say the manager was ruthless or anything like that, Kos-Mert made his mind up for him.'
Arteta is the best DCM we have and thats why he starts but thats mainly because the only other option is a washed up Flamini.
