lol :) Ok, final attempt.

We haven't got a suitable striker available, we play without anyone specifically in that role. better?

One swallow doesn't make a summer.

Whilst our recent form is encouraging, it means little in the long game. The Villa game should be a reminder that we are one game away from going backwards.
Wenger did not address the frailities of the team and squad in the summer and he is a Mr. Bean substitution away from kicking a Evian bottle down the touch line again. He hasn't changed his ideas about the game at all, and he hasn't got lucky either. It is because we have played, mostly inferior clubs and a true reflection of where this team is going will be our league standing come Christmas. I reckon that we will still go out of the CL in the last 16 round.
The form of Ramsey and Giroud has to be applauded, and although I have been vociferously critical of both players, I am delighted for them both.
I expect us to beat United in a few weeks, what with their form and the Moyes effect. If this should happen, then I will feel slightly more optimistic about the coming months.
It is refreshing to read some upbeat posts on here and the enthusiasm has raised spirits again, but don't be fooled by the recent success. We went unbeaten in the run-in, to snatch fourth spot, yet we beat no-one of consequence, and we failed to beat Everton during that run.

W. T. F. kind of wierd shit is this? Ive read this like 4 times and still dont know wtf you're on about?

lol :lol: Had a couple here btw. to clarify, was really meaning play 6 of our midfielders if we lose Giroud. hence the 4-6

of the 6 we should include someone holding leaving 5 other free to do as they need. so really a 4-1-5, but with the false 9 the five would/could, at any given time, either remain a 5 or become a 4-1 as necessary with any of the 5 being able to 'fill that hole' as the mood and situation dictate. However, if there are 2 or more on the field capable of holding in front of the two centre halves then that 1 (in the 4-1-5 scenario within the 4-6) need not be so rigid making it a 2 with permission to move, but not simultaneously. this makes the formation a 4-6 with the 6 being a 1+5 where the 1 could be 1 of the 2 (or possibly more) capabable of that holding role. this would have to be worked with the 4+1 as mentioned in the first post ensuring that the 1 there was probable not one of the 2 (or more) able to play the 1 in the 1+5 bit.
Oh, I get it now. So playing with 5 strikers then :wink:

of course I couldn't foget The greatest etc etc but was thinking that Giroud might get injured the same day bendtner crashes some unbelievably expensive car into a wall of supermodels.

Here you go Baba. He will finally be paid £8m p/a, or can we call it £8.5, 9 or actually £10m p/a? :D

Gunners bid to keep Arsene at Emirates with new £24m deal.

Ok. Look at it this way, in words you’ll understand. You have regular Rizla+ and king size Rizla+. Instead of using 3 regular Rizla+ skins to roll your joint, you use a combination of king size and regular. Now, to combat the inherent thickness to filter issues, you mix some mid strength Red Leb with that baggy of potent-as-fuck Moroccan your cell mate Stabby Pete carried in up his ass. Capiche?

:D :wink:


And yes before you go all Italian on us, I know it can also be spelled "capisce". :banghead: :wink:

Altenatively just roll a two skin regular green one and put some scuff in it then all of the above will make sense but impossible to acheive .

DB u are an old got ,I havent seen real red leb or even yellow from the wonderful baalbek valley for many many years ,was my alltime favourite and got me through Ummaguma to the Wall !

In the 80's in Oireland all you could get at one stage was Red Leb. Got quite the taste for it! :D :wink:
