Ta, always happy to receive good reviews.

Di Maria should be asking for 300k p/w to play for this shower of shite.

After Burnley : Fabregas is the second coming of Christ. After Leicester : Fabregas is Gareth Barry. This forum gets on my tits sometimes.

Everton are looking at him http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/aug/24/everton-arsenal-premier-league-match-report

Easily one of my favourite games ... 3 world class goals that day : Allardici, you mean?

Not to mention the ridiculous officiating. I'll never forget the way we were conned out of a point at the Bridge that season. Some say they're sympathetic towards United fans and that they're a reasonable lot when compared to the bindippers and the spreadsheet army (not that hard to accomplish) .. and while that's probably true, I say fuck 'em - 'reasonable' is not a word I'd associate with the ones I've known for years and years. They were unbearably arrogant and disrespectful when they were on top.

Truly saddened to learn about this. Jurassic Park was a big part of my childhood and once older, I appreciated Gandhi, Chaplin and Cry Freedom. Rest In Peace.

Can you actually believe this is a team with a net spend of £160 million in the last few windows?

It's nearly 2015 and QPR have a team made up of such stalwarts as Richard Dunne, Rio FlabbyLip, Joey Barton, Rob Green and Bobby Zamora - all on good money. Fucking hilarious.

Ooh yes Lamela

I love Giroud. I don't understand what these whiney gooners keep fucking moaning about.

I have no doubts that the back 5 will remain the same and that Ramires and Willian will come in for Schurrle and Oscar.

Dear God, the Arsenal defending there ...

I like that he's not predictable. He pushes defences back, then drops off just a bit to confuse them. No statue-esq play from this guy.

Considering the grief he gets for every misplaced pass/mishit cross, this thread sure is quiet on a day he's made the difference for the second time running.

Kid showed balls tonight to come back from a turgid first half, as did the team. Good sign.

Now we can sit back and rave about Branna and Hazard and Thibaut (rightly so) but against a more composed opponent we'd be looking at a 0-2 defeat. They didn't let us settle at all, which is exactly the thing to do because we just crumple when it happens. The thing that counts the most, though, is the reaction and we got that right, thankfully. Very tough call between Courtois and Branna for the MOTM but I'll go with the keeper because that save was a game changing moment. He's off to a fantastic start.

He might just be okay without any 'coaching' or 'mentoring' from Cech - just a thought.

Willian is like the Duracell bunny. He must be eating granola bars for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Get in!

Might not be a bad idea to go 442 because their CBs are handling Costa just fine.

We're lucky Leicester have made poor final ball choices because there's no way this half should have ended with Courtois keeping a clean sheet. Lots of players needing too much time on the ball, which they're simply not going to get. Need a lot of players to step up, especially in possession (Schurrle, Oscar, Fabregas).

Leicester have been by far the better side and dictated the pace of the game. Bit of a rude shock for the ones predicting 5-0 or whatever here.

Villa-Toon was atrocious. Awful game.

Let's see if Torres has any self respect.
