Personally I don't like smoking and think that it is a dirty disgusting and dangerous habit BUT I am still thinking that we as fans are slightly over-reacting here. I do understand Granada joe's suggestion about reduced lung capacity but surely a pro athlete would be doing enough aerobic training to compensate for this ? As a fan I feel that, if having the odd ciggie here and there is as bad as his off field behaviour gets, then I can live with that.

Jacks a tricky one right now.
Don't know if he's " overrated" so much as maybe expectations for him are too high? I love jacky boy and think he's a wonderful prospect, but for me, right now he's not in the first 11.
Right now for me jacks on the bench. But who knows? He may do a Ramsey and come storming through and cement a starting place. Gret to have a player like jack on our books. All the kids love him and he's a genuine good (if a bit dim at times) lad.

But whatever - smoking is totally out of the question and needs to be stamped out feckin right now!

My fully fit starting midfield right now is...

Flamini, Ramsey, ozil, Carroll, walcott

Andy Carroll? Roy Carroll? Carol Vordeman?

Personally, I'd pick Cazorla 8) :lol:

He is a fucking liability on and off the field, having his usual mare again today.

Didn't have a great game but he scored, albeit via the delection. I would have hooked him at half time so shows what I know. :oops:

Over-rated by far.

Total liability, if it wasn't for the deflection it wasn't going in.

But it did, so if it wasn't for him, we might have been beaten.

I've said he should be dropped but I think some of the stick he's getting on here is over the top.

Underrated, overrated. What a load of old bollocks. There's not even a consensus on this forum, so who gives a shit what people who don't watch him every week think. :roll:

I don't overrated him, and Sid certainly doesn't.... so who does? and does it really matter? :?

He's just a talented young player fighting his way back from long term injury and clearly struggling. Bit like Ramsey last season. People need to be more patient and understanding.

Improved after the goal to be fair. Still not good enough though and needs benching for a while. There's no way he'll be getting in the side when Santi returns.
