Reading in the "whatever its called this year cup"

Apology accepted

SteveO you want Camel to start, really..? To try and get Gnabry and Walcott into the game?
Or just to put himself in the shop window

see if you can post about the game flash - helps the threads flow,
you'll just end up being deleted by the mods if you insist on bringing everything back to your own single pet subject
maybe you could start a hilarious bantz thread where WOB slate Wenger, I'm sure it would be very popular
and that way you won't have to worry about any positivity hurting your eyes

Personally I'd like to see the Arshavin false 9 experiment RNT suggested,
would also give Feo a chance to drop into strikers space as Andrei vacates it

Chamakh up front, Arshavin and Walcott playing alongside - go with 3 proper attacking players. Frimpong and Coquelin are both defensively minded enough in midfield to cope with that. Stick Miquel out at LB - he's done well enough playing out there before, and is a proper defender (unlike the fat Brazilian)

I just want to see anyone other than Forehead (who is probably injured) or Giroud down the middle. If not Maryanne then yes Walcott as striker instead

When I sit in the Feo Fan Club Fan section (block 2) all I can see is the back of Chamakh - either warming up and never getting on or sitting on his arse on the bench

Please can we just have an either sack the board chant going or target the mug Gazidis. Can not stand to see him talk about the brand. Just a simple WE WANT GAZIDIS OUT sang with hatred will come across nice and loud on Sky.

why would we 'want Gazidis out'?
He's an employee doing PR for an owner,
if somehow he was personally pressurised out it would have zero impact on the clubs trajectory

why not just support our team, I care who the owner is and what he wants
which CEO/PR man he employs IMO doesn't make any difference

Gazidis might be smarmy (never annoyed me TBH)
and Hill-Wood is an Etonian octogenarian - not naturally sympathetic

but this is pure red herring BS - who cares what face the owner puts to his decisions
its what SilentStan wants that matters
not who he employs to say it's happening

I know it's being pedantic to the max but I saw this printed in quite a few official news reports of the AGM... he's 76.
