Re: Now it's the Oscars!
Sorry Rugby but on this I disagree with you. The Oscars are nominated by members of the Academy who are only 2% African-American and 2% Hispanic. That it is well out of kilter with the racial composition of the USA. The USA needs to look at why so few minorities work in Hollywood compared to their p...

Re: Would you sell Ramsey for £50m
I would sell him for anything over £30M. He is a good hard working player, seems a very sensible lad, but not amazing and to me offers nothing unique. He is a box-to-box midfielder who is not usually creative enough for the way we play. Would have been very useful in our 1998 team though, suited to ...

He looked not happy at being subbed.enjibenji wrote:His attitude to being replaced on Sunday was terrible,
Which is what a player should feel.
Shows he wants to play for us.

Re: THE BOARD - Kroenke, Usmanov, Finances, AGM etc.
Abramovich owns Chelsea outright, but as far as I can tell his ownership investment is currently in the form of an interest free loan back to the club? Stan Kroenke owns roughly 66% of Arsenal shares. He is the boss of the club but I get the sense he is much less hands on in the running of the footb...

Re: The Giroud Question
Good striker rather than great. Why? Because he lacks that extra level of sharpness that the greats have. MOTD summed him up when they said for us to do better than him we would have spend upwards of £40M. On amount of goals scored he is not in the elite level of strikers, but he is at the front of ...

Re: WALCOTT - which position is best etc?
Not to mention the excellent goal against city recently, a finish none of our other great players could muster that's for sure. He's in poor form but will come good he always does, tbf he would have another assist if the French imposter hadn't missed from a foot. His movement is the best in this te...

Jock
He is a big game player.
How about the goals against Chelsea and Spurs?
Or Barcelona?
Or getting off the mark in both the League and FA Cup Finals?

Re: WALCOTT - which position is best etc?
He has a ton of resolve, fighting spirit and professionalism. He puts in the mileage and anyone who has fought back from the serious injuries he has had, to then be fitter and stronger, has shown determination. He shows for the ball much more than he used to. He also is capable of invention and tryi...

Growing speculation that Planet/Comet Nibiru is getting close.

No idea if it is true.

Let's give him a chance and see what we have, even though I have never felt so underwhelmed by a new first team squad signing as I have by this one.

Welcome: Mohamed Elneny
Deal is done.
Confirmed by Wenger.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/35308910
Looks to me like a replacement for Arteta, an all-rounder continuity midfielder, rather than a tough defensive enforcer.
Probably brought in a few months early because of the large amount of injuries we have.

Further proof of how much of an absolute *word censored* Stan Kroenke is. http://deadspin.com/in-application-to-move-to-los-angeles-rams-shit-all-ov-1751320853 It is brutal for St Louis but from an outsider perspective, not unprecedented.
