Not if Arsenal don't get a top 4 place this season.

It'll be really interesting to see the midfield he chooses, the time is ripe for a 4-2-3-1. --Torres-- Malouda--Mata--Sturridge Romeu--Meireles

haha.

Don't need him, don't want him.

He's allowed an off day once in a while.

^ Not positionally, I don't think. Lucas is primarily an attacking midfielder, Nilmar is a striker.

Kaka misses open goal. EDIT : He's scored now lol. Good goal too.

True but then the real world class players can be found primarily in Spain's top 2, and a handful scattered in England and Italy. Bayern have some star names but the good thing about the Bundesliga is that almost every other club has a strong squad without relying on outstanding individual ability. It makes the competition there progressive where other clubs challenge on their intrinsic abilities rather than because the top team losing it's quality, like it's happened in England. Tell me about it, Nuri is BVB through and through. Real aren't even playing him ffs.

Real concede first, again.

Can we once, just fucking once, enjoy a good result without the usual Torres love/hate shenanigans?

Meireles, Romeu, Essien, Mikel and Malouda. My word, those are uninspiring midfield alternatives.

I think it's the best, most complete, most competitive league in Europe currently. Pace, physicality, tactical diversity ... it's got something for everyone.

Bayern lead Wolfsburg, Gomez. 60'

With the Mancs out, we should really look to this as a priority target now.

I'll get your coat.

^ OT : That's a great sig.

Well that's that. Normal service resumed. Fuck off QPR.

The site I'm following says it's an ankle problem. Hope he's okay, we need his energy and thrust.

Mike Dean has a thing for penalties.

Well done.

Honestly all the transfer related moaning on here is more tiresome than our on pitch play, if that's even possible. Can't wait for 00:01, Feb 1.

What a cunt. Typical, they have Barton as their captain.

Usual improved second half, please.
