Arteta for all intents and purposes is playing as a DM. :banghead:

Calling Diaby "physically strong" is like calling a certain ex-Blue Peter presenter a "nice quiet date". :lol:


:shock:
Yeah! that Valerie Singleton was a right lesbian, gimp whore! :lol:

Isn't this all just another case of Wenger using an argument to suit his current predicament. Before Chesney emerged as a half decent keeper he tried to convince us that the Three Stooges were all top class GKs before later coming out and saying how Chesney was the reason why he didn't buy a keeper

When all our captains left he then decided that in this country 'captaincy is overplayed' (yes Frank, Tony and Patrick you heard that correctly) and that we had many leaders in the team (a method that proved so effective in Sven and McClaren's Ing-er-lund days of tossing the armband around to whoever was standing nearest to the touchline)

Now we've let every defensive minded midfielder we had disappear its suddently a position that doesn't exist anymore.

I'm waiting for him to say the age of the specialist centre forward is also dead - he might as well looking at our shower. He'll no doubt use Spain and their 'false nine' system as justification

Before he raced out and panic bought Mertesacker on the final day of the window he'd already come out with his classic 'we have 4 centre halves and Carl can play there too' (knowing that two of the four were Djourou and Squidgy)

I have now actually stop listening to him directly after games - switched off as soon as the Chelsea game ended - to keep my sanity in tact
