Cazorla saying that Arsenal lack a winning mentality: http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/santi-cazorla-could-leave-arsenal-unless-he-gets-claws-on-a-trophy-9248323.html

If you take seriously what ppl say in football, one would conclude it's all about whoever is stronger with the 'force'. It's a simplification, it's actually a cop-out by saying that all we need to do to win is to believe. Bullocks (like we say in America:)!

They can believe all they want, but they are not good enough, because Wenger is terrible in the transfer window. He has historically neglected the holding mid position; goes into decisive games, away from home, leaving his only, cheap and quite average, holding mid sitting on the bench (Flamini). Arteta isn't and will never be a holding mid because he's physically too weak. Again, he might want to win 50/50 duels, but he can't.

How about the Hull Tiger request?!

FA response:

Denied

Reason: bad taste

Luis Suarez and Steven Gerrard joint winners of Premier League Player of the Month Award #SSN

Media wank fest now in overdrive.

[Thendo 1,088]

Ridiculous, how can they give a joint potm award? Just comes to show how everyone is hoping for Liverpool to win the league. I mean what has Gerrard been doin special this month ,scoring a couple of wrongly given penalties?

My memory is not the greatest but has this award been given jointly before?

As for Gerrard, he has played well but no different to how he usually plays....The usual 50 yard raking passes!!!

But they both havent been very extraordinary this month which makes you wonder why they give a joint award for this month...I have no idea if they've done it before, maybe it's a thing.

Meanwhile, Rodgers wins the manager award. Suarez AND(yes, AND) Gerrad win POTY. I bet it's very bad in England these days, all wanting Stevie Me to win the league and shit. Damn i hate the scouse.

I think I'm right in saying that if Gerrard gets booked this weekend, he misses two games - one of which would be against us at present.

I wonder how many yellow cards he's going to get away with then.

This Liverpool media bukake is getting out of hand now. God knows what it will be like if they win the league

Should we root for Liverpool so we can maintain our title hopes or should we root for City so Liverpool doesnt win the league???

They'd rescind it in memory of the 96.

Going for City...if they win the title, they're won't be a media wankfest.
