When you contrast it with our transfer coup in capturing the vastly-experienced French international, you can hardly blame me for gloating. Fuck me, I had no idea he was still being picked for France until I looked that up. Are their strike options even worse than ours?
I said to Milan: 'He's a good investment, he is improving, he's getting stronger, he's getting taller.' We took him."
Oxlade-Chamberlain - best young winger England's produced since when? I certainly can't remember an English winger as fast, as two-footed, and as effective as him in my lifetime.
Not hard. Good game though, AOC played brilliantly, Walcott even had a good game, both wingers playing well to lead us to a very nice win. 7-1 against a 10 man blackburn? Maybe not that impressive but 3 points and a confidence boost for the squad in general and individual players, lovely.
TBF Arsenal were already 3-1 up before the sending off and looking likely to add to that. Blackburn are awful though.
I said before you signed him that he looked like a right sided Bale. Still gutted he went to the wrong team
I tried to get excited, but then remember all the other big scoring games we've had against shit teams in the past 6 years. If we could play like that against Man City, Chelsea, Man U etc...I'd get excited.
So, Gooners. What do you want tonight? Is fear of the hubcap fanciers stronger than tribal dislike of your more successful neighbours?
Draw, works for us. And you rightly point out your superior position in the league and (indeed) you are playing some magnificent football but comments such as "your more successful neighbours?" is taking the piss (you cunt)..... Well, anyhow. I was lucky enough to be at the Blackburn on Sat, when it works it works very well. This level of performance has to be the standard we have to strive for. Once in five games isnt good enough. That day was both joyful and frustrating in equal measure for me. Still, great to see the Ox score his first league goal. What a player! The much maligned Theo had a great game too, with those two on the flanks and RvP in the middle we might even have have a strick force that starts scaring teams. Lets hope so. And in the Summer we buy Hazard (pretty please Wenger!!! )
I'm really excited about Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. He looks a fantastic player with so many good attributes; pace, skill and most importantly the ability to score plenty of goals. Gutted I missed Saturday's match but looking forward to the Spurs game coming up later in the month - one that we HAVE to win.
Has to be a Liverpool win. Tottenham have yet to hit a bad patch this season but hope it happens soon! Harry Redknapp's trial hasn't affected them but they've got a few injury doubts tonight.
Liverpool FTw, deffo. Spurs current excellent performances are unnerving me after all those years of mediocrity, all I've got to look forward to is 'Arry being a colombion drug baron's cell-bitch
We've not played much better this season than in recent previous ones to be honest. The difference has been in winning even when playing badly against the weaker teams, when in previous years we dropped points.
