the game has changed and i don't like to say it, but Giles is out of touch completely. that, and he makes his money by being a cranky aul' bitch!

What was even more funny about the comments was that the presenters were previously giving out about how sky/English press exaggerate situations, example Van Gaal, Rafa's infamous so called rant etc, but yet then go on to the next piece where Giles is commenting on how he thinks Ranieri is lucky and that Ozil is s***. (not the first time he has had a go at Ozil) Bitter, Bitter little man.

By the way, great game the other night, if we had a keeper we would have won I think, 3-3 i thought was fair enough in the end, great to see two teams to go at each other like that, as we can't win the PL. happy to see either yourselves or the foxes win it, at least you lot try to play football.

Chec was poor too on Wed which is unusual for him.
For the first goal he punched the ball out the middle instead of to the side.
Thought he should have got to the third too but maybe he was unsighted.

Anyone else think Theo has been poor of late? His only meaningful contribution was his assist to Campbell against Sunderland.
He was pretty poor vs Liverpool and was at partially at fault for the first goal when he lost the ball at the edge of the box.

It'll be good to have Sanchez back and then have Theo battle it out with Giroud up top.

Think we've seen the best of theo when hes played up top this season. Hopefully he gets another run out up front when Alexis is back, Giroud is due a rest anyway.

He did set Giroud up for the gilt edged chance he missed.

Should of had an assist for Giroud though.

I see that coq was back in training but is there any indication on when he may make a return to the team. Any chance of being back for barca?

MonsterCookie · 16-01-2016 09:12AM

last update i read (on arsenal.com) was 12 weeks from the WBA game which would bring it to early March all going well.

Thats tge spirit Gosplan. If he can walk, get him in

L'prof · 16-01-2016 11:05AM

Mood seems confident, myself included but...Stoke have beaten City, United & Chelsea at home. Arsenal last won at Stoke almost 6 years ago yet Stoke are 3/1 at home

16-01-2016 11:12AM

Anyone see any reason the fantasy football lot are dropping Ozil by the bucket load? Have I missed something?

wonga77 · 16-01-2016 11:13AM

Giles is a big influence maybe :pac::pac::pac:

2 points in each of his last 2 games and we don't have a nice run of games for months. People expecting Arsenal to crumble I guess?

16-01-2016 11:27AM

I honestly think we'll do it now that Stoke try to play football these days.

3 tricky games coming up and there's probably a high value player that everyone's trying to get in like Costa or Rooney.

Pierce_1991 · 16-01-2016 11:55AM

Jaysus aul Silent Stan is talking on SSN there...about the Rams unfortunately.

They're all trying to get Sanchez in and don't want to rely too much on Arsenal midfielders it seems! I would personally prefer Özil over Sanchez for Fantasy Football, especially since I have him at 1.5M less.

Sanchez could go a run of several games getting no more than 5 points or get 50 points in four games. If he gets off to a flyer, I'll be looking at getting him in straight away, maybe to partner Özil. Upgrade Arnie, downgrade Deulofeu, Kane to Lukaku and a cheap defender probably.

Looks like we need to win tomorrow after Wednesday and the way the City game is going now.

I like what you're doing here.

YES, CITY WILL DEFO WIN THIS ONE!!!

emmetlego · 16-01-2016 04:38PM

Well, that failed miserably!

Bobby Baccala · 16-01-2016 04:45PM

Afobe scores for Bournemouth, be interesting to see how he gets on and whether Wenger threw in a buy back clause.

16-01-2016 05:07PM

Big pressure on us tomorrow against a very technically good side.

A buy back clause would be void since he moved from Wolves to Bournemouth

I was slated the other night for calling the team bottlers and rightly so.

But I feel its a game we should have held onto if we want the league this season. Those 2 points could have proved very valuable come the end.

It just seemed like we all knew we would concede in the closing minutes, I thought we would have learned by now.

Anyway onto tomorrow.

Happens us quite a bit.
I am also worried by our slow starts.

Hope we are totally on our game from the start tomorrow. We went 3 down here last season conceding in the first minute.

Bobby Baccala · 16-01-2016 05:40PM

Might be a long shot but does anybody know of any bars in central Amsterdam that would be showing premier league football tomorrow? Off over there in the morning really don't wanna miss the game tomorrow so I'll be dragging the missus to the nearest pub thats showing the Arsenal game!
