Would rather get shot of the mercenary French b*stard than get rid of arteta tbh - yes he has slowed down somewhat, but he is more disciplined (positionally and in the tackle) than flamoney plus I think he would be more of a club man than the guy who only came back cos no other fcuker wanted him :x People who slate arteta seem to forget that he is a man that took a pay cut to join us and whilst I agree sentiment shouldn't be a defining factor, I do believe that he is good enough to rotate in when needed on occasions 8)

Yes they are very useful, I use it for work (CCTV installation) and therefore goes on the books and I get the VAT back on it, it is brilliant for entertainment also but this one is the wifes, I mainly use my laptop for most things workwise.

Wow no piss taking, I've finally matured :barscarf: :lol:

Oh and have a great holiday mate :barscarf:

Isn't Sky area locked so that you can't watch it outside UK? Just asking... :barscarf: :barscarf:

@NonFlyingIceman You're welcome. Here's a heads-up for you: Arsenal have, I hear, now tabled bid for Carvalho, though they may deny it publicly

That is a joke right?

Flamini may be a hard head case but Arteta gives away the stupidest fouls/free-kicks because he is slower and older.

I am not saying Flamini is better in the disciplinary sense p, in fact it is on par but mainly due to Arteta being an older.

Neither of them can take two players out at once like this guy...

Flamini's redeeming feature is that he always gives 100%.

Personally I'd rather sign a new DM but these two rotating could see us through okay. I think they're each suited to different types of opponent. Flamini is the better option against the likes of Sunderland, Stoke etc. whereas Arteta is better suited for Manure, Citeh etc.

Arteta and Flamini are not good enough. Last season proved that.

If only they were younger.

Constant posts of ***** is not coming goes on for months,Babachukwu an obvious scum fan just insults us for months, posters with personal agenda's against certain players on going for months......all not a problem. But something else has called for a banning of Topgoon.

Whether original or not,speaking in the 3rd person amuses Topgoon and was started because of the lull in transfers. If and when we buy a Dm,Topgoon will go back to speaking in the 1st person.

Till then Eboue-what/why/whothef**kcares here's a simple couple of suggestions,don't read my posts or grin and bear it or my personal favourite pucker your collagen deficient lips and KMA :barscarf:

Topgoon likes 1989's gif of Willy C taking out 2mofos. Looks a badass :twisted:
