Hazard warning to Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool: I'd rather play in Spain
Ramsey boost for Arsenal as fit-again Gunner says he's better than ever
Meh, what he means is he wants to play for Barca or Real.
Great news.
Chilean footballer fouls himself with another players hand!
I condemn the sneaky cheating but I had to laugh.
Outside of Barca/Real & the Premiership, there aren't as many options as there used to be for the big players. Thing is the ones that do go to Barca/Real (& aren't the very top players) invariably end up on the bench.Hazard warning to Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool: I'd rather play in Spain

The other guy should get a free punch!Chilean footballer fouls himself with another players hand!

He was excellent again tonight, looking like a real bargain at £10M.
He'd be a fool to go to Real at this stage in his career, methinks. But anyways, to each his own.
Come on Rambo! Here's hoping he can come back and reach his undoubted potential!
Where do you see him fitting in when fully back?
There is only 1 cure.. don't play at the same club as Ronaldo.
Definatly looking like a really good signing & an added bonus that hes English & somewhat has a similar style to Rio Ferdinand.
I have to agree with what Kits saying here, maybe its because we are used to the delights of Championship football but i think you are a little harsh on Stoke....

While I can see what you're saying and agree to an extent, I'd be lying if I said I agreed wholeheartedly. I was around in the days when we made winning ugly an art form, and were referred to as 'Boring, Boring Arsenal' so I'm not ignorant to the style some of these teams employ now. Maybe I've become spoiled over the last few years by the brand of football Wenger has incorporated into the team now. Nowadays, I find it hard to watch 10 minutes of a game between a Stoke and Birmingham, for example. But I guess what really sways my biased opinion (yes, it is biased), and why I'm so harsh on them is my utter disdain for Stoke City.
Yes, it's mostly because of the whole Ramsey incident. When it occured the whole subsequent wrapping in cotton wool and backing of that c**t Ryan Shawcross (yes, he is a c**t, more on that later), while Ramsey was seemingly left to fend for himself by almost everyone apart from our club, left a real bitter taste in the mouth. Not only that but also the subsequent vile and disgusting behaviour by some of the scum Stoke City call fans. I'm sorry but wouldn't you agree that a section of fans who would cheer and boo a 19 year old down on the floor with his leg hanging almost by a thread, and then being chanted "He's only got one f***ing leg!" at, accompanied by cheering and laughter isn't the sort of thing scum is made of?
Yes, I do hate Stoke with a passion, and can and will never forget how they treated Aaron that day. You can imagine my joy and jubilation when we eventually did the p****s in the last few minutes.
As for Shawcross, at the time I gave him the benefit of the doubt and didn't really hold anything against him. That was until after I discovered he's been up to this sort of behaviour before. He committed three similar wreckless challenges on players in the championship prior to this incident, almost breaking two of said players legs, and breaking the other, Frannie Jeffers (who incidentally also used to play for us). And Tony Pulis said he's not that sort of player?...
As for me being too protective of my own players, well sorry but three leg breaks in the space of four years is enough for me to be concerned. It's not coincidence, it's wreckless and taking the piss. Teams always go in harder against us, because they see us as soft and unresponsive, whereas against other teams they know if they give some they'll get some. And surprise, surprise whenever we do rise to it, everybody comes down on us like a ton of bricks. I couldn't help, but laugh the other day when the pundits were going nuts criticising us for our disciplinary record this season. Whille there is, and never was any mention of last season where we had the best disciplinary record in the league, picking up just one red card, that shouldn't of even been a red card in the first place.
I often wish we still had a couple of Vieira's, Adam's and Keown's around. The Invincibles was a team I did and still do admire so much. It was a team that had the right balance of elegance, technical ability and power. It allowed us to play 'beautiful football' while also allowing us to mix it up with the roughest and toughest.
Lol, I'm not. Most who know me know that I will be one of the first to call out out my side when they do wrong. Just because it's my team commiting the obscenity doesn't mean I will condone it at all. Two wrongs don't make a right, and I'm not prepared to let Stoke off for what they did. If you want to discuss my team's fanbase's vulgar nature then go right ahead, I won't condone it, nor will I try to brush it aside. I'll most likely join in on condemning them for it.
It all seems to be dwarfed in comparison to the lovey dovey S***cross received, probably because he's English, eh. Alan Davies spoke out about it and started receiving death threats. So much for freedom of speech, eh. So that makes it alright then does it? Teams make no secret anymore of targetting us, yet we are the ones who get the rough end of the stick and are accused of moaning when we give some back. Have you already forgotten Allardyce's tactics to target Fabianski and obstruct and push him aside at set-pieces? The ref should have been on that, but wasn't. You only need to look at our matches to see what I'm saying. Teams get away with murder against us, yet we give them a little push in the back and the ref starts motioning towards his pocket. Good job, Wenger started to learn to keep his mouth shut nowadays, as it's gets us even more heat, than it does us good.
This is basically covered in my forthcoming paragraph.
Probably because he's got enough no nonsense brick s***house players (as are the three you mentioned previously) as opposed to the small technical ones like Silva. We on the other hand don't and I'm not defending us, as regards to not having those types of players. I reckon it was a big mistake for Wenger to fill the team with small technical players in probably the most physical league there is. That's why I am so in love with the Invincibles. The balance was just right for this league.
