There was no deflection in Giroud's goal yesterday. The FA released slomo footage confirming it. http://www.gfycat.com/UncomfortableRealBuck

Wow makes it even more impressive. His first goal outside the box for us too I think.
 
TBH I'm pretty sure I'll get rid of Sanchez for Sterling and Bojan for someone else. Any good ideas for strikers in the 7.5 range? Thinking about Remy, Campbell, etc.

Remy is great but I'm not sure if he has played any preseason yet because of his move falling through.

Southampton's new signing Pelle might be worth a punt. Scored loads in Holland and with Rodriguez injured pretty much guaranteed to start. First game is against Liverpool but after that they have a pretty good run. Tricky to tell how Southampton will do though since they have lost half their starting 11. Would be hilarious if they beat Liverpool just to see Rogers try and sign up a few more of their players before the window shuts.

Szczesny impressed yesterday. Great reach for a keeper. I think Wenger needs only one more buy go big and offer Bayern 35 million euros for Martinez. They have Rode and Badstuber is back. I'm sure they won't mind letting him go at a fair price.

I think Martinez would be perfect for Arsenal, but he's very much a Pep player. Barca were in for him when he moved to Bayern and now he seems to want to go full on Bielsa-ite and play him as a centre back.

Whats worse, all the Marvel or spider threads that pop up everyday in the OT?

Marvel. There's just way too many right now.

Bayern sold Kroos, they're not gonna sell Martinez. Rode could easily be the next Baumjohann, Badstuber needs time.

I remember thinking when Pellegrini was throwing on all those failed England internationals that he was throwing the towel in and we could relax. Then Giroud whacks that wonder goal in. Loved it.
 
Well its kinda hard to lure the big guns with no CL football breh

Its not easy to sign good players when you don't have any CL football to offer.

Ask Tottenham.

I know I know.... but if we can't get the big guns why are we not signing upgrades of players?

At least 5 players are linked with leaving this summer and this rate we can even replace them.

I'm getting really pissed off.

He scored one vs Bradford I think in the league cup.

Your goal against us was a scrappy 97th minute Vermaelen goal off his outstretched Belgian cock

Also on yesterdays goal Flappyero whatever he is called (he does look so much like a poor man's Pepe Reina) has got to do better than that.

I enjoy the spider threads. The Marvel ones are mind-numbing though.

WHO WOULD WIN THE DARK KNIGHT VS IRON MAN VS MISS MARPLE

yawn.

Arsebros, what do you think of the 4-3-3 we played yesterday vs our typical 4-2-3-1? I think we should definitely deploy the 4-3-3 in the big games, play Ozil on the left if we have to. Arteta also played much deeper and I think he benefited from Wilshere and Ramsey both being there covering and our fullbacks could bomb forward more often.

I hope Ebanks Blake finds a club soon (I'd take him in a heartbeat) purely because his chant is one of the best (to the tune of Give it Up - KC and the Sunshine Band)

Thanks for the heads up. Got a few names buzzing around now. Might go for Carroll if the price is right...

Why would you play Ozil out of position?
