He's back bitches.

Hoilett you greedy fuck.

It took Granero an age to be booked against Spurs. Must have had 8 fouls in that game.

 

[Arnie]

Just bought a pair of Warrior LFC sweat pants off Kitbag and it comes with a free Liverpool towel. I'm in heaven right now.

 

[Wilbur]

Stoke player injured on a stretcher but can't see who or how

 

[Clegg]

Why would he move to a lesser club? Especially with Kagawa's struggles.

English cuisine and women.

Kagawa has been fine too.

Back on the floor.

I said that in the summer, heh.

Love the free stuff Kitbag throws in with your order. Got a yellow Umbro ball and shipping for free on the last kit I ordered from them.

 

[Salvadora]

Giroud is so fucking slow.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Considering he's competing admirably for a position alongside Nuri Sahin at the age of 20, I'd say your pessimism is anchored by your club allegiance, rather than common sense.



Yet Shelvey's put in a top performance as a holding midfielder against City, and been able to score goals and impact games as an attacking midfielder, like he did in Europe against Young Boys.

No offense, but I don't think you know what you're on about, and the Shelvey versus Cleverley arguments been dragged out enough already.

Yes, after that insurmountable, infallible and objective assessment of Shelvey's exploits this season I suppose I really don't have a leg to stand on.

I mean given that Sahin is one of the best midfielders in the world right now, given that Shelvey's play in midfield against City is every bit as good as you say it is and given that he has decimated Young Boys Bern I'm not sure how I ever questioned the scale of his ability. Good to know I'm the one affected by club allegiance here Arnie.

Or maybe he's playing reasonably well in a team that has performed poorly this season against mostly poor opposition except for Norwich, City and Young Boys Bern? Maybe he's shown signs that he might make it at a higher level but in no way has he done so in a consistent manner yet? Would that maybe present a more accurate assessment?

Doubt he'd want RG's sloppy seconds.

 

[Phantast2k]

Götzuus

 

[Ushojax]

£12m. They really should stop buying strikers from the French league.

 

[Elephantstone]

BEST Mario scores!!!

 

[Yurt]

Jack Wilshere completed all 33 passes that he attempted in the first half versus Queens Park Rangers.

 

[bud]

barcelona to buy wilshere as their xavi-replacement.

 

[fuenf]

Götzuus

so i can finally turn of the stream in the minimized broswer window.

 

[José Mourinho]

Looking fashionable!

GOMEZZZZZZ

 

[bud]

what will it take for granero to get booked?!

 

[Salvadora]

Granero could be sent off in this game.

what will it take for granero to get booked?!

He already has.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

what will it take for granero to get booked?!

Sandwiching Wilshere apparently

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Barkley's scored again, England's wings are looking okay in a few years

My final post on this because this argument is a tired topic on football GAF.

You said Shelvey wasn't as positionally fluid as Cleverley. Digesting the facts of this season, that's bollocks.

Ross Barkley just scored a second for Wednesday. You know where this is going...

 

[Ushojax]

Ref started doing the red card shuffle but decided not to in the end.

 

[Slizz]

Lol Giroud

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

It wasn't exactly a foul anyway

 

[K1LLER7]

Fergie on his phone, looks like Mark Hughes might have found his next job

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Ref has lost it

 

[Slizz]

Commentator says that the Granero foul was on the follow through even though he got the ball first. Then Giroud gets the ball first and wipes the guy out on the follow through. Whats the difference?

 

[Ushojax]

It wasn't exactly a foul anyway

Yeah, got the ball first but I guarantee you he will either get sent off or be subbed off. He's a serial fouler.

 

[Kyoufu]

Holy shit what a goal from Fulham.

 

[Blablurn]

GOMEZZZZZZ

+1

 

[Salvadora]

Bring Walcott on ffs.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Yes I noticed that. :lol

 

[Cyport]

Holy shit what a goal from Fulham.

Watching the game, that was pretty sick from Ruiz

 

[Gareth Bale]

This is the kind of game that Arsenal would win if they had RVP. Now I'm not so sure. They might still score a late goal, but it's nowhere near as likely.

 

[Choc]

Pretty good reason why this ref in the arsenal match hasn't got a fifa badge on that yellow shirt....

 

[Salvadora]

Was that a handball or not? And was Sagna booked?

 

[Diablos54]

Pretty boring so far, why Walcott isn't on yet I'll never know. Well, I do know, silly Wenger.

Edit: And now he's about to come on lol.

 

[GorillaJu]

Ramsey looks like Cary Elwes

 

[Phantast2k]

Everkusen will obliterate you tomorrow!

As for a potential Gündogan transfer: we don't need to sell players, ever.
Only when players have it in their head that they absolutely need to transfer for whatever reasons only then we will sell our "stars". So you will have to convince Gündogan that he'll be better off at Arse or Utd. and I just don't see that happening for Gündogan (or Götze or Reus). The only one likely to transfer atm is Lewandowski.

 

[WAR recon zero]

I cannot laugh at Arsenal anymore, I just feel bad for the lads

 

[Choc]

Granero just got caught studs up no foul yet when he cleanly wins the ball he gets booked

unbeliveable

 

[Ushojax]

Pretty boring so far, why Walcott isn't on yet I'll never know. Well, I do know, silly Wenger.

I'm convinced that Wenger decides on his subs before the game. He never makes a change until the 65th minute unless there is an injury.

 

[Kyoufu]

Is this the typical Arsenal run at this time of the season or do they usually do better?

 

[Elephantstone]

GOMEZZZZZZ

c'mon, even Mandzukic is better than Gomez....

 

[Salvadora]

Wilshere off? We are not winning this game.

 

[Ushojax]

They usually have a goalscorer. They don't any more.

 

[Diablos54]

They're usually very good until January, and then they fall off the pace. But they had a striker before, they don't now so they've been worse than usual.
