So we're stuck with the useless fat *word censored* until the Summer at the least. So our reserve back line will contain Flappy or Mannone (both of whom have been here for years and consistently proved themselves to be utterly useless), Squiilachi (coining 60k per week and signed for 5m only a couple of years back by Wenger), Djourou (our longest serving player - farmed out on loan because nobody else would come close to paying the bloke 50k per week.....he's worth a fifth of that maximum) and now that disgusting shirt-swapping tosser (signed 18m ago by Wenger for 6 mil)

All this from the so called 'shrewd economist' that manages our club. We won't spend 20m on a top class player but we're quite happy to spunk it away on shit defenders from shit leagues that will never make a PL footballer if their lives depended upon it, and on wages to shit keepers that will be here for 10 years because no other fucker will ever want them and we'll keep extending their contracts

It's not just that the guy is absolutely awful - he's lazy, he doesn't care one bit about getting into anything like the shape he should be as a CL footballer, he seems to be a bit of a dickhead off the pitch judging by his driving, he doesn't take any responsibility on it and should have been crucified for his antics at Old Trafford. The thoughts swirling round my head regarding Fat Andrew are so gruesome that if I managed to collect them here coherently it would almost certainly result in a ban.

Suffice to say it involves a clearing deep in Sherwood Forest, a spade, several other unnamed objects and his family watching on.

At the morning press conference Wenger says" Arsenal have 2 left backs now as Gibbs injury 'can easily go to 8 weeks."

Bye Keiron see you in 2014

I reckon that's code for WILL DEFINITELY be 8 weeks. I don't think the Self Harmer would have bought Nacho Man if it was a 2-3 week injury given the opposition (barring Bayern) that we face in that time.

He'll be out for the rest of the season probably as you suggest

I'd play the Coq at left back aganst the German's as opposed to calamity Vermaelen. Surely there's no chance in hell Mr. Bean would start with lard arse?

It's open to interpretation, I know there are a few on here who are partial to a Ladyboy, especially one with such a voluptuous figure :cheekkiss:

I'd be tempted to go for Jenkinson there presuming that Sagna hasn't played himself into the Reserves by that time.

Either way starting Vermaelen at LB would mean BFG and Kos at centre-half - that's not a good idea in such a big ground under floodlights that will generate lots of shadows for them to both run away from.

TV's actually been solid when playing at LB. The only problem is that we lose our attacking threat down that side and become more reliant on TW having to perform which is always a dangerous thing to hope for.

Still, I think we'd all rather that than 'hope' Santos sheds a couple of stone and learns how to defend in the next couple of weeks!!

Atleast with Vermaelen it means less covering back for Podolski. Sometimes with Santos there you wonder if they would be better playing Podolski at left back. Plus with Vermaelen he can go up and try to score if you are chasing a goal late.
