We'll quote you on that when you're ranting at Rosicky for some major crime such as not looking over his shoulder as a free kick sails into our net, or Diaby makes a tongue in cheek remark about wearing a shirt given to him by a friend in private
We'll make sure you're invited to the unveiling of Flamini's statue
I judge a player on his performances on the pitch.Flamini has been brilliant this season.Diaby has never been brilliant.We are top of the league and Flamini was the DM we have been lacking since he left.We were top when he played his last game in 2008
He came on and did well today - nice finish. To see Diaby has never been brilliant really does show how biased you are though. When Flamini runs a game from start to finish like Diaby did at Anfield last season, you can start building the statue
Had a look at the sleeve lengths today- Im sure Girouds were half length, most were full, Flomonis looked half length too Maybe Girouds played so much this season his sleeves have shrunk in the wash.
Interestingly though despite or because of his cutting Flamonis poppy shirt is top seller I gather at the moment

This. Exactly. The idea of the same sleeve length (I think anyway) is that when they line up in the tunnel and for the handshake it shows a uniformity, a togetherness and unity in the team and the club. It sets the tone. We are The Arsenal and we mean business. Once the game starts just roll the fuckers up. Dicko used to do this all the time I see to recall.
I remember when our tradition was to maintain our image and not our brand, and so not do classless things like suing street stall holders, ladies hat shops and now a VIP Box holder for bringing their own lunch, and Arsenal staff refused to slice their bread - i fucking kid you not.
FFS if you pay 90 grand a year for a box you should be able to eat and drink what you like, not be FORCED to buy ARSENAL PLC catering too surely ?
I bet there is more to the box holder story than that though.
Have been in the boxes lots of times, and brought my own food.
Never had a problem.
And I was not the only one, a few box holders do this, as the food is (in my opinion) expensive.
The catering staff are mainly Delaware North employees, not Arsenal employees.

This club is sooooooooo fcuking embarrassing sometimes
Really? that's what you 2 took from that article?? that Arsenal are spivs and embarrassing?
Am I the only one who reads that story and wonder what the hell Capstone are playing at??
They were due to pay £465,000 in installments up to 2016 but refused to pay from 2012 onwards over something as trivial as a refusal to slice bread??
They even demanded "proper action" was taken (whatever that means) over the sliced bread incident, and said Arsenal failed to do so (so fucking what, it's an internal matter)
These prats can go jump for all I care. They're at a football match and they're getting in a fluster because someone at the club won't slice their feckin bread??? - that's ridiculous.
I'm sure there's more to this story than is reported, but I'm not convinced - on what I've read - that it should be used to attack the club.
Maybe Girouds played so much this season his sleeves have shrunk in the wash.
So why create a drama when there isn't a need for one?
