is there a fullback in the room?

sagna, gallas and now toure. hope the coffee's good in istanbul ...

the facts

after 8 games, we're below hull city . . . 17 points to 16 . . . ! what next? uefa cup next season?

flattering scoreline

gooners 3 : toffees 1

nasri, rvp and boy-man, all 2nd half strikes.

it was just painful watching the 1st half, no one (especially in the engine room) had any idea. training sessions have more urgency and direction. chances go begging or merely blasted at goal thoughtlessly ...

the osman goal was a shocker ... the backs just stood rooted around and let him do his thing ... er, sort of rolled in, didn't it?

the 2nd round was slightly more heartening but only just ...

challenging for the premiership are we, arsene? here ... not likely with the way we're goin. much stronger teams await, buddy.

and shrek said ...

"belarus are a good football team and passed the ball well, probably in the same style as the way arsenal play" ... !!!

unfortunately, there's some truth in it ...

one presumptuous git

craig "9 iron" bellamy offers to "mentor" ramsey! here

what could this violent little sh*t possibly contribute to the boy's development?

he's got the runs ...

12,027 not out

its a war out there

our walking wounded ... here

this weekend ... some potentially sticky toffee for dessert ... and then turkish coffee to "finish" things off.

all alone in the middle?

cesc says ... here ... po boy.

plus he's got a broken nose ... international duties ... jeez.

not on your best day, buddy

shaved one trick pony says: he can't keep up with the boy-man ...here

come on, he was never in that league just lucky.

how many psi till he blows?

too much attention and therefor pressure on the boy-man in general and for the match against the kazakhs in particular ... bloody ridiculous. the antithesis of what wengker does ... nurture. hope he doesn't come back with injured body and mind...
