Apparently the local German press are reporting we're close to agreeing a deal for Granit Xhaka. Meant to be a no nonsense type DM, likes a yellow/red card but can also dictate play. Basically a mix of Flamini and Arteta. Would also have the second best name at the club after Vladimir Dragomir...
Actually thought Giroud did well today.
Barring a Spurs loss we are unlikely to finish above them now. And barring a loss at home to Villa, CL football secured for another year.
Dembele (eye gouging), Walker (throwing blood at Costa), Vorm (being a fucking plonker) and Lamela (standing on Cesc's hand - although a bit harder to prove it was intentional) all to get retrospective bans then? Pretty sure 100 years from now people will still be asking how Dier didn't get a...
Nah, we got to go to City and I reckon Spurs will win at least one of their remaining games. Just glad they didn't win the whole lot to be honest, doesn't bear thinking about.
Their GD is much better than ours so realistically they have to not win either game for us to go above.
In a season this team should have gone for the title, they are in typical fashion struggling for top 4. I've seen more penetration in a convent, why the fuck did Giroud start this game? It's the same every game, he does nothing all game, Walcott comes on and does nothing (completely bottled that...
I saw a table yesterday that showed that Özil is actually creating chances at a pretty similar pace to the first half of the season, except that in the first half of the season we were scoring at 1 goal/5 chances he creates, whereas in the second it's been at 1 goal/twentysomething. Basically...
Edge of Tomorrow
War of the Worlds meets...errr...Memento? I thought this was a really decent movie that could have been marketed better, because it's one of the better action movies I've seen in the past few years but I knew very little about it before I saw it. 8/10.
Yeah probably not, I mean I don't think Wenger would let it happen knowingly under his watch, but like I said it wouldn't surprise me if players went rogue and did it anyway. For us RVP would be a prime suspect, always injury prone and then suddenly doesn't get injured for 2 years? Should have...
Given that Wenger actually come out and said he believes doping to happen within the game (even alluding to signings from abroad having odd readings in their medicals), I seriously doubt anything has happened under his watch since it would be strange to draw attention to the issue. Added to...
