He was hilarious yesterday - before the game started and when Mata got subbed off

So thankful that we got him. Liverpool were interested in him for a long long time. If Fat Spanish Waiter was still their manager, they probably would've signed him. And Arsene - LOL! He's so unselfish as well - always making himself available for the team. A couple of times yesterday I wanted him to continue running and shoot after getting the ball but he chose to pass it and it was always the right call. Wonderful player.

Shit club, but all the best to him anyway

I would like to see Danny playing as a striker as well, but probably not going to happen

David Ngog went for 5 million. On that logic Kalou is worth about 8

I think on paper you can see why he might have been considered a "talent". I don't know how he was playing in Holland but no one could have known how shite he would turn out. And actually for his first 3 or so seasons, he wasn't that bad - he was just average. It's only last season I think that he started becoming truly awful. Sigh. I don't know how on earth he has managed to stay at Chelsea when 6 managers have come and gone

This is absolutely mind boggling. I just hope that the club is doing this so that we can make some money when we sell him Oh god :doh:

Does anyone else think we should have taken essien off? I remember he was absolutely knackered towards the end and was struggling. And for the goal he failed to close them down / make some kind of tackle. I will admit that I don't remember the game very well. Haven't seen anything at all after watching the live telecast - not even highlights. Can't bear to see it again. I was absolutely heartbroken when that shot went in. And I can't analyze things during first watch but I remember thinking during the game that maybe we should have taken him off and brought on fresh legs. Who was on the bench that night and what subs did we make?

OT but since it was brought up - I think the stuff that's been in the press today about what LFC have said would be a bad idea. Good for us, bad for the prem. Can see the BPL becoming a La Liga copy in 10-15 years if it happens. The gap between the top 5-6 and the rest will be huge. I hate la liga and wouldn't want something like that happening to the prem

lol yeah he's kidding

^ well yes I agree but there are better options out there

Yeah, I figured - but I personally have always hated the likes of RVP, Eboue, Sczczczczczczczesny, etc more than him

wrong thread damnit

Agree with mostly everything. Can I ask why you hate Arsenal less now that Fibreglass is gone?

:o :o :o

Good shout. I really like him as well.

Congrats Seb! Well deserved

Apart from Silva, hate 'em all.

Didn't know you were so young happy birthday man, have a good one!

I think our problem seems to be lack of concentration and awareness, which can be sorted out through practice etc

This thread is depressing

Went for Seb but Sloth has been excellent as well

Nice to see him smiling

When does Malouda's contract run out? Is it this coming summer or does he still have 18 months left? He's been using the media to try and get a new deal for a very long time, and still hasn't gotten one yet. Might be a sign that we're not willing to give him a long-term deal. I'll be glad to get rid of him tbh, I know he has improved in the last few weeks but I just really dislike the player he has become.

I'm not English. I just chose the English flag because my country's flag wasn't available
