How times have changed... Thursday night football eh...

Got FIFA 19 as well, and during the installation I was invited to play Kick Off, with a choice, I guess, of the Top 10 Clubs of the moment...

Plus, I've just noticed, a girl in the picture!!!

Didn't even notice that, I was so shocked by the choice of that 10


You’re right. What are Utd doing there? They’re *%^@.

And the girl in the picture. Ugh Women’s football. I’ve never felt something so strongly that I also know I’m just plain wrong on. I’ve never had the experience of being a dinosaur before. Knowingly anyway.

I get upset when women’s football is called ‘football’ or when a headline says England or Arsenal and it means the women’s teams. Tell me someone else does the same. I’m on the wrong side of history aren’t I?

Leno showed why he was bought. A good shot-stopper.

Iwobi did well again,very good for him.

Well done to Sokratis, Smith-Rowe and Guendouzi on their first Arsenal goal.

Not going to mention the negatives, perhaps most switched off because of the opponent.

Fifa 19is rubbish. They have removed all the pace from the players so it’s no fun.

For me the obvious sign of improvement is the much better interplay and hardly a backwards pass.

Only one or two misplaced passes is a fantastic sign for the future.

Why did Özil, when 15 yards out with a clear sight at goal decide to play the ball back to the edge of the box - which got intercepted?!
He needs to be more selfish in front of goal, I hope emery can cut out this wenger trait in the players of refusing shooting opportunities.
No chance that hazard, salah, De Bruyne give up the chance to bend that in the bottom corner - even if it needed to be taken with the weaker foot

Because that's what Özil does. Wenger didn't inst that in to him. It's the way he is. Lots of talent but lots and lots of flaws too.

BTW, City frequently over-complicate it around the penalty area. It's a Pep/Guardiola characteristic which Wenger bought into also.

Finished watching the replay and it looked like shat it was. A disjointed team that had barely played a minute together. Got the win and some playing time for a few players.

Paraguayan from Atlanta MLS set to arrive in January as possible replacement for Ramsey. Cost £11.

According to this Benega doesn't seem all that keen on the idea.

Could have been worse - artichokes?

A cabbage is very funny. It's really a statement.

Artichoke? I can imagine such an article being lobbed from the prawn sandwich brigade sections.

Or even broccoli ... followed by Wenger invading the pitch with tears streaming down his face to rescue it. "Sacre blue, mon ami, je vien!"

Banega would be an Arteta-esque signing. To borrow a Wenger's phrase, I would love to see any of our young player such as Smith-Rowe or AMN being the "internal solution". That being said, Almiron looks like a very good player - has the same left-legged mannerisms of RvP.

Almiron at £11M. Not the £11 as stated earlier. So if Benega declining interest, then Almiron could be the one.

Sigarosson's goal against Leicester: Bergkampeque is the only way to describe it!

I hope not. Although I’d quite like Mourinho to remain in place (much like, for many years, many opposition supporters hoped that Arsene would remain in place).

It's looking like Jose will get the highly lucrative sacking compensation package he's been after.

Cardiff player Ralls got a straight red for a deliberate foul as a spurs player runs past him, he’s 45 yards from his own goal, on the touch line with another defender covering. Reminded me of Xhaka’s random red v Swansea that at the time and since he seemed to be the only player to get done like that

Not sure if I prefer to be bias about it, but, I seem to see English refs keen to favour Spurs. And on the flip-side, they seem keen to punish Arsenal.

Went back to look at the Xhaka one again. The Cardiff player's one is far worse, Ralls takes Moura at knee level with a lot more force. Xhaka's is a trip on the ankle. Totally baffling decision still

There is more than enough in this for us, our forward players have the beating of their defence if we play it right. The single danger is Mitrovic on the longer ball, we need to get 2 men around him and make sure we pick up the second balls

It’s all coming from down our left side, great overlap from Monreal, good pull back, control and rolled his defender by Lacazette then smashed in the bottom corner

Iwobi playing so well. Full of confidence and making defender look silly with his quick feet, pace and directness. Fans singing his name
