EPL Season

good thing I had swallowed my apple before reading this espnfc headline, or i would have choked: "Curiously, a solid defensive shape is giving Arsenal more attacking freedom than ever"

yip. amazing what having proper cover for the defence can do.

flamini is proving to be worth all the millions we didn't spend on him. and a perfect example of the point that players are usually only as good as a coach and a system allow or enable them to be.

c.f. thos. mueller.

Funny thing about Muller is that his shit works when Pep's shit breaks down. Don't know how Pep actually feels about this.
 
quote of the weekend
Robbie Mustoe: "maybe Moyes should throw some tea cups around the locker room"

Complicated. Wenger overheard both the comments about throwing tea cups in the locker room at United and the joke I told you this summer about the dying rabbi with the secret to making great zavarka

You have to admit Robben taking Nastasic downtown with his supposedly non-functional right foot was pretty funny.
 
Get Arteta off the pitch. Yeah, Wilshere is out to lunch but that's a transient problem.
We'll see what happens in the second half

Was really mystified why not, I guess because he was captain. WBA just flying through the midfield, which missed Ramsey's bounce and grit. I think Arteta has a very important role to play in this team, it's just going to be hard to sort out. Maybe back out left where he played for Everton?

I was surprised that Ramsey was the one substituted, worried actually, I hope it isn't an injury and he better not play for Wales.

Jenkinsen was awful.

Flamini was his usual terrier self.

Gibbs looked good.

Jack was much better in the second half, but still holds the ball too long. Needs to think quicker. Lovely ball to Giroud.

And Ozil just makes me giggle.
 
I don't see what role Arteta could play, other than as an alternate.

I'd give Jenkinson a break. For now. It's like playing for a new team, all of a sudden. He was a good 15 yards too far on the inside a couple of times, no ?
 
iirc, last season started promisingly, despite a long injury list. then the old lags came back and the wheels fell off.

at some point, "the run to 4th" started, but since by that time i had to get good and lashed before i could sit down on teh fatcouch to watch, i don't recall that much about it, 'specially at the start.

i'm hoping that this is a not a sign that the motherfuckers are about to do that to me again.

As an infamous football hooligan, I am yet to declare a country. Putin tried to lure me back under disguise of mass repatriation. Apparently I need only one more trip to Cote d'Or to qualify for France, provided I can show that I paid tax when I got a bottle of Opale from Eric. Spain, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine, Belarus all claim my ancestors passed through their lands in the past 1000 years, with the prerequisite 24 hour layover. Not a word from England though; Jacky boy says merely the extent of violence in the stands does not make you English.
