Čech did save one for us against Watford. I rate Leno very highly and he’s a great shot stopper. But I don’t remember him ever saving a penalty for us. Or have I forgotten one that Leno saved?

Apparently we've had 4 players booked for time-wasting this season. I do find it utterly infuriating that teams seem to be allowed to waste time from almost the first minute against us - mostly at the Emirates - but when we finally make the break through we're seemingly booked for the first hint of any time-wasting.

Well done England. The result matters less than the way you carried yourselves. And Raheem Sterling, you are becoming a very special player.

Ever Benega will only have 6 months left on his contract in January. Emery is surely going to want to make a push for him

Horrendous scenes in Bulgaria

Fifa and UEFA culpable for indulging in racist behaviour for decades. Requires zero tolerance approach now.

Also England fans need to look at themselves too, no more Xenophobic chants about bombers and wars.

They have been trying hard to combat racism. Very difficult to do.

They have been indulging it, FIFA fined England £16,000 after a young England player used an energy drink which was not that of the official sponsor at last year's Under-20 World Cup.

The sanction was £6,000 less than Russia's fine for the racist abuse of France's black players during a friendly in March.

They have been poor

Yes, they have. Until now the football gravy train has been too important to let racism take it off the tracks. Hopefully a change is coming in that respect.

The plot thickens. I didn't see this coming but it makes sense now that I think about it. Poch to Man Utd probably. Far be it for me to advise our enemies but I wouldn't sack Poch unless its with a manager that has experience working with and winning with a limited budget. Mourinho hasn't worked within the confines of a limited budget since Porto....possibly Inter. Any successful big name manager of a major club are working at clubs with big budgets.

I think this statement with reference to Aubameyang as a leader, says a lot. There might be a subtle message about it too.

Thanks, AG, I very nearly missed this scoop and the plot certainly does thicken. Usually I don't pay much attention to seemingly baseless internet rumours, but if it's from Soccer Link via Sport Witness via cartilagefreecaptain.sbnation.com, surely it's as good as a done deal. Please keep posting this kind of stuff.

So, I wonder why he didn't get the votes for captain?

Apologies for stating the obvious, but I assume it didn’t cross your mind that more players rated Xhaka as a captain.

Oh yes. He wins at least one trophy wherever he goes and with their set up now on and off the field there is every chance he would keep up his record of achievement at Spurs. A cup is well within their scope, if not this season, then next. Under Mourinho a top four would be on, and despite what all the Arsene critics said, that is success these days.

Give it a rest ffs, there is thick people on both side of the debate, what is so great about the EU? - it's not a peace project, it was implemented by bureaucrats to feather their nests, it is tiresome hearing people saying how the world will end if we leave the EU but there is no substance to their argument.

I'm past caring now, get Noel Edmonds in to open a box.....

Well said WG.Can't wait for it all to be over and for a lot of humble pie to be eaten whoever was wrong.

The shame is one can no longer criticise the likes of Spain and Turkey when our own politicians can be so undemocratic.

I.


It’s provides around 6% of our total GDP, the freedom of movement and protects workers and consumers rights enabling a better life for our citizens so we aren’t exploited. (Like we are about to be)

And no there aren’t thick people on both sides of the debate because people who want Brexit are too thick to explain why it’s a good idea and how they see their lives improving after we leave the European Union without bringing everyone else out in fits of laughter.

I can see them winning the league cup domestically but that's it. The only way they will win the FA cup is if the planets aligned and the big boys get knocked off and/or they play a strong side against a top 6 side. The league has gotten much tougher top to bottom.

I can see them winning the Europa Cup though. Frankly, and I know I will get some stick for it, the Europa cup seems easier to win than the FA Cup.

In its original form, it was a peace project. In the devastating aftermath of WWII, it was designed to bind Germany into a political and economic relationship with their neighbours so that their marching tendencies might be controlled and a third European war avoided.

Like so much else that’s flowed from that original and radical initiative, it’s worked perfectly and to everyone’s benefit.

In my opinion Old Man, Brexit has been foisted upon us by a curious alliance of the rich and super-rich (whose interests are served by lack of regulation and who have been waging a vicious anti-EU and anti-Foreigner campaign for a generation through their control of 90% of the print media), the super-poor (who after years of austerity, just voted for a change in their circumstances, which couldn’t get any worse, poor sods), the b****** ‘brains-on-sticks’ Hedge Funds (who’ve all shorted the £ and make large contributions to make sure maximum chaos ensues), the ill-educated (who are blissfully unaware still of the damage being done and probably always will be) and the under- or un-employed crypto- or not so crypto-racists (who live in working class areas where there just aren’t any bleeding jobs, thanks largely - still - to Thatcher, but continue to blame foreigners for taking non-existent jobs).

Oh, and the glue that holds together all these disparate strands of British society, our blessed elderly (who, rich or poor, sharp or otherwise, hark back wistfully with rheumy eyes to a time when the sun never set on the Empire and the globe was red, and who were prepared to sacrifice their grandchildrens’ futures on the altar of nostalgia). Mustn’t forget their pivotal part in this utterly chaotic tragedy that has made us the laughing stock of the world, eh Old Man?

You may not agree; I understand.

Peace and love.

Strange how all the remoaners are calling Brexitters thick when they appear to have no idea how the system is working.

The EU is about to implode and they want to be in the club when it does. Unbelievable.

Thousands of voters are rebelling against the elite because they can see that their only being is to serve their masters, work etheir balls off for no reward. Directors wages and bonuses are exploding while all the workers get are zero hours. The UK rich are the entrepeneurs of yesterday who made their money with hard work. Very few of them believe the EU is helping the situation whilst the Soros's of the world are backing remainers and making billions out of the chaos they are causing.

Top Gun you are a moron of the highest order and at times worse than obnoxious. The EU is not working ask the Greek islanders what their lives are like with all the so called refugees invade their islands while the EU does nothing to help them. Oh and Erdogan has another million and more to send their way.

Where do I start with this one.

Rebelling against the Elite ? Let’s start there do you really think the likes of Rees Mogg, Farage and Boris aren’t the elite? If you think these people act in your interests I really am speechless. They are the elite and control the newspapers whose content and lies you lap up and recite. They couldn’t give a toss about your interests and the fact Boris is about to serve up a piece of paper which is Brexit in name only, and you wish to lap it up shows its more about making you feel better about yourself than any actual change in reality.

Workers rights, zero contracts haha are you *%^@*** kidding me. Why do you think somebody like Tim Martin wants out of the E.U....because he wants the freedom to change his workers rights for the worse. No reason no more.

The refugee INVASION !!! You know the E.U. rules let us kick out anyone arriving in The UK without the intention to work after 90 days.visits exceeding that period remain subject to national procedures ie it’s our decision. In addition Belgium requires all migrants to register at their Town Hall within 3 months of entering the country and if they intend to work their claim will be assessed and will be processed within 6 months. Far stricter. We don’t do this at all. Immigration is on us.

So in summary,

You don’t really get the EU

You believe everything you read in the media which is controlled by the elites

You believe all the trump stuff about Soros etc (this really means your beyond help)

You think a refugee invasion is coming when migration from EU countries is on a 6 year low and actually seem to think Turkey is part of the E.U. now.

In short you are beyond help or reasoning.

Cheers :laughing7:

Peace and love.
It comes down to quite a lot of people just wanting to be able to hold a different opinion, and vote that way, without being considered thick, racist or an imperialist. In parts your analysis typifies the elitism that still soaks the European Union debate. And it is nostalgic, for the current EU is but a self-serving club compared to the big ideals of the post-war originators.

Anyway, I say to Remainers, fear not, there is every chance your elite will still win the day and Brexit confounded.

Yes, you constantly demonstrate your belief system in your Brexit exchanges on the forum. So persuasive is your latest argument, I have now changed my mind completely. Draped in the EU flag, Lib Dem application form in one hand and a photo of Emmanuel Macron in the other, I have removed my dick from my UK-made blender and have flopped it instead into a glass of French wine. Not a pretty sight.

Brexit update

Johnson now willing to put a hard border down the Irish Sea so that he can be prime minister and make thick English people feel better about themselves .... whilst still being very thick.

More to follow

The majority over the irish sea are very happy with that.

How's that? I thought that the UK was Ireland's biggest trading partner and market so the economics looks very bad. Is support purely on political grounds--i.e. a move towards a united Ireland?

Oh, and the glue that holds together all these disparate strands of British society, our blessed elderly (who, rich or poor, sharp or otherwise, hark back wistfully with rheumy eyes to a time when the sun never set on the Empire and the globe was red, and who were prepared to sacrifice their grandchildrens’ futures on the altar of nostalgia). Mustn’t forget their pivotal part in this utterly chaotic tragedy that has made us the laughing stock of the world, eh Old Man?

You may not agree; I understand.

Peace and love.
It comes down to quite a lot of people just wanting to be able to hold a different opinion, and vote that way, without being considered thick, racist or an imperialist. In parts your analysis typifies the elitism that still soaks the European Union debate. And it is nostalgic, for the current EU is but a self-serving club compared to the big ideals of the post-war originators.

Anyway, I say to Remainers, fear not, there is every chance your elite will still win the day and Brexit confounded.

There does seems to be a significant Trumpish element amongst the Brexit supporters, you must admit.

That alliance seems to have gained control in a scary number of countries.

So, I wonder why he didn't get the votes for captain?

Apologies for stating the obvious, but I assume it didn’t cross your mind that more players rated Xhaka as a captain.

Perhaps AG is not aware that we don't have the electoral college system at the Arsenal?

Tottenham have made contact with Jose Mourinho
It would be great fun if Mourinho joins Spurs. The games they play against us, Chelsea and Hammers are toxic enough already, without his preening input.

Frankly with Trump, Boris and etc rampant I strongly disagree that we need another toxic preening drama queen in our headspace. Hopefully they get a bland Swede or dour Scot or something like that.
