Thought he was our worst player on Saturday and his rash tackles / needless fouls are going to result in a sending off that will cost us 3 points.

Sure we don't want recklessness (although Flamini and Kos would have been better candidates to level that charge at) but do we want players to put themselves about and show passion for the shirt or don't we? :? :roll: After all it was just that sort of commitment that won the ball and enabled us to score the goal that won the game on Saturday, wasn't it? :rubchin: :rubchin:

(I'm really starting to understand how some people get the impression that nothing will ever make certain gooners on here happy!!) :banghead: :banghead: :oops:

I know somewhere sometime back (thought that it was in this thread but cant find it :? ) I suggested that joe hart is absolutely totally and utterly over-rated and anybody who seen last nights game could not disagree with that. He let in two very soft goals but the last one that he let in at the near post was absolute scandalous and what you would expect to see in pub team :roll:
People slated mancini but he could see that hart is not turning out to be the keeper that everybody expected him to me - another example of the over-hyped bullshit lavished on home grown players :roll: :oops: :oops:

What do you all think of Jack smoking ciggys personally I think he is a silly boy needs to act like a profesional then maybe his form will come back .

His career is going the same way as Joe Cole will never live up to the hype.

Unfortunately as a footballer he cannot be seen smoking, health reasons obviously and kids will see him do it so think it's okay.

If he was half as good as Socrates then I wouldn't give a toss, but at the minute I wouldn't have him in the starting eleven. I know he's a young man but these are critical years for him, I'd hate to see him waste his talent like Bentley did, for example.

If you think about it, smoking doesn't come easy, so this is far from the first time he's smoked. He was probably smoking while out on injury. Doesn't help his heath and if you know how Wenger is over this, you won't be surprised to see Jack not starting for a while because of it.

He is over rated and tbh a bit of a prick, if he played for the spuds we would be going on about just that.
The sooner Carzola comes back the better, no coincidence that our most fluent performance of the season, against Napoli came when Wilshire was on the bench and that quite frankly is where he belongs in regards to this Arsenal midfield.

The problem with Jack is he is giddy. He is living the life and doesn't know how to control himself. If I were AW I would drop him for a month. Let him go in the reserves and make sure he gets the message.

Would just add a caveat of "at the moment" to your post.

At the moment he shouldn't be an automatic choice - he needs to earn his place.
