Must have been before my time but is this comparison merited?

No way! Lee Chapman will be livid.

Only getting chances from 8 yards out seems to be Giroud's problem so far. And lets be honest from that range its really only a half chance. If the team can work to get him about 6 yards closer to the goal before passing to him then I am condident that, given time, he can hit begin to hit the target...

Does anyone else find the atmosphere generated by fans of Greek and Turkish teams to be both annoying and monotonous? They are clearly very passionate. But it seems to me that what they mainly do during a match is a lot of jumping up and down creating a repetitive and tuneless noise that bears no re...

Agree. My issue is that the CL group stage is a similar such bore. Undoubtedly we'll progress through this snoozefest of a group (spread over almost 3 months.....zzzzzzz.........zzzzzzzz........zzzzzzzz), and maybe be lucky enough to get a modest runner-up in the last 16 before an inevitable dickin...

I've always thought that the moronic and nauseatingly adolsescent chant of ''who are ya? who are ya?'' was only sung by smalltime fans with an inferiortiy complex about their vastly superior opponents. It was the kind of chant that fans of Chelsea would sing when they came to Highbury to play Londo...

Great post Augie and fair play for making the trip over from Ireland. There was me thinking the London traffic is getting too much to put up with to watch Wengers latest flawed side stumlbe into CL place glory in the same way it has for the last 46 years or whatever it is. Agree about the trio of We...

Breast feeding from Baba's ample tit I see :rubchin: Give the bloke (Giroud) some time ffs Time to get used to the pace and physical nature of the PL game is one thing. Time to hit a fucking barn door when presented with simple goalscoring opportunities (Liverpool away, Sunderland home, today, pena...

Giroud won that header from the corner and hit the post, that other chance was from a wide angle - yes he should of hit it first time. maybe if he was on a roll he may have done. i am encouraged by our work rate and desire - wenger just made a bad decision with dropping Per and picking Diaby and Ra...

That was fucking shit! Wenger bleats on about not being able to compete with the likes of Chelsea then drops our best fucking defender this season! It is sabotage. Wenger is the biggest hindrance at this club. As for being competitve on the pitch that performace today was laughable. When was the las...

Accounts thoughts: Net debt has hardly changed. I reckon we will need to sell off a "Big" player, or a significant group of lesser players, per season until stadium debt is paid off. Debt hasn't changed because of the terms of our loans, we cannot pay back early (this must be about the 10...

Was nice to see Freddie on his one (and now ONLY) MOTD2 appearance!

Baba says a lot of things in order to validate his Wenger hatred . He continues to labour under the surely now buried myth that Wenger has had a net surplus of cash to spend since 2006 and has for his own suspicious and malicious reasons refused to spend it . We played the champions away tonight an...

Terry must be one of the most vile sportsman ever. Cerainly in our lifetime. To have been stripped of the captaincy and then given it back is to the eternal shame of the FA and the national team. This decision of should never have been down to him to make. But whats the betting he blackmailed the FA...

Watching how the away end erupted on MOTD when Kos equalized was a sight. Absolute fucking carnage! That was a great sight and it looked just like a terrace. I bet there were a few layers of skin scraped of of a few thousand shin bones at that moment. Seats are lethal. I got more scars from all-sea...
