Just catching up. I see Arsenal blew their chance to have a better season than everyone except City and Wigan?

This...Although im sure everyone itt knows this(?)

Came to lol Arsenals shamefully insipid performance obvs
but will leave with the below..
http://www.stranraerfc.org/index.php...alloa-20180224

Sure i have shared at some point, amongst my rare, random aggressive(at times!) posts/rants/calling out & loling at Cashy/Mw and their ilk and for this i supply the below link(dont know how to and havent tried to embed....hoping one u uber regs will sort that like last time i postd a yt link{?}) ? my little cousin playing at Rangers?

Anyway he went on loan in Jan, after much begging and lack of any first team minutes, despite much bench warming, to Stranraer....

Happy to inform he got his first Senior goal yesterday in a 1-0 win vs those beasts know as Alloa!!
#RossLyon
#No.20


Further to the above epic and breaking news, and to apologise for prior posts and their perceived tone(for whoever is a lightweight pussy.....looking at you RoyalBlue!)

i give you the following....footy is my life within reason....yet i learnt a lot from this vid tbf. Not posting this link facetiously for our american friends like my last!! This is legit and one of the ten 'facts' actually delves into the rrason for americans and others using the term SOCCER

lol

but tbh its not just a lol situation....WIM is real(unless u are eubank jr ha!)

How often wim 'matters' is actually a question too discuss, but tbh its riduculous at the same time... how do u quantify it?

Like Xg, its worthy of some form of discussion, but again....How do we quantify?(i think xg is some bull**** btw...)

i mean didnt arsenal (going only off what i think i remember itt fwiw lol) win the xG today(yesterday) ??

i suppose it comes down to simplicity...
lol arsenal
lolXg

if you switched Liverpool fans with Man Utd fans, Moyes would still be in charge.

Who would have thought.


That’s what I was thinking lol

DDG has been our player of the year a few years in a row now. Reports are he wants a £100k p/w more than his current wage.

PAY THE MAN

It is worth a mention that despite his terribleness Mustafi has been one of our best defenders this season after Monreal.

Gonna have to say that 0 accountability is one of our major issues as well...Xhaka can do pretty mich anything amd still start over Elneny who is better at pretty much everything.

Even worse that Xhaka takes corners and set pieces from Özil. Idk how can that happen. Inb4 he is goat at trainings

Xhaka ripped a corner early in the match yesterday that landed well out of the 18 and ended up going out of bounds, not touching anyone iirc. Was actually impressive.

Xhaka has been objectively terrible + did amazingly stupid things since he joined but somehow he is a nailed on starter. Boggles the mind

I remember how excited I was when he joined based on the reports from German posters. Then i was like maybe he needs time to settle....then slowly reality started creeping in...

Don't forget shipping off the person who could possibly replace him for peanuts in Jan!

If you mean Coq, he was never good on the ball, I don't think I can hate on his sale too much. Elneny should be starting though and I dont think many Arse fans would go against that.

We absolutely need a better DM and DLP, we just miss Cazorla so, so much :/ dont think we will see anyone near his skillset anytime soon.

You can see that we have little to no plan in bringing out the ball. Painful passing around by our backs and then punting it forward almost all times is not a good look for us. This used to be our major strength as well. Sad times.

guide to aftv

some cynics probably decided early on that aftv is tiresome and awful. lads, listen, everyone makes mistakes now & then. its time to reverse your stance. honestly. stop denying yourself this avenue of unfiltered pleasure

this handy guide is aimed at latecomers who may be too embarrassed to ask the basic questions

robbie



huge bloke that does the interviews. some would say he's the modern jonathan ross but frankly i think he has more class and gravitas, so i'm going with parkinson

local man mindfckr took a picture with him once

here he is in a previous life doing reggae about coke



--

claude



claude is the man. a grumpy, frustrated, tired, pissed off cynical ol' fella. there are a thousand claudes in every premier league stand

rumours suggest he's a 23 year old man whose weather-beaten appearance stems from his arsenal support. i think he's a cabbie although that might be bollocks

claude just cant take it any more, WENGER OUT

DT



DT is a charismatic, narcissistic arsehole. his interviews usually gets the most views

i have a suspicion that chav is a non-PC term these days, but i cannot help myself. DT is a chav. he's a chav's chav, he is king chav. he is a chav's dad. if a chav saw DT he'd say jesus christ, look at that chav. DT probably has two pit bulls, named Tyson and Psycho

DT is responsible for the 'thanks for the memories, but it's time to say goodbye' banner, a fact which he endlessly reminds us of in his videos

troopz



blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam blud fam you get me yea

--

ty



human excuse dispensing machine. walking arsenal merchandise advert. #1 wenger fan. seems to be claude's mate. looks about 30 years old with a hat on and 50 without

upon losing to watford, 'one thing you've got to remember, it was raining'

ty is possibly, uh, a little, uh, you know

--

minor characters

lee: nice fella, looks a bit like golem. sort of bloke you wouldn't mind having a pint with
chris: arsehole. says yeah? after everything. the team was crap today, yeah? we didn't turn up, yeah?
moh: net spend, fella. exceptional beard
kelechi: incomprehensible nigerian. holds a PhD
bully: pirate bloke. has nothing of interest to say
blind man: he is blind
tactics man: some fella that thinks he should be first team coach. wont shut up about double pivots

Mo needs to be laughed at way more for constantly trying to sound smart without actually saying much. If i need to sell my house i'm definitely hiring Mo
02-26-2018 , 11:36 AM
Just finished watching MOTD... does Conte get enough **** for subbing Hazard off? should be a criminal offense imo

Spoiler:
i know he is no Kante but still

Scary.
The one glaring exception is David Silva and the prospect of him retiring is terrifying. Hopefully Bernardo can grow into the role but right now he is irreplaceable.

Just dropping in to quickly lol at pep and Conte both starting their second best keepers so as not to hurt their feelings. They're professionals at the top of the game getting paid ****loads, playing anything but your best possible team with non meaningless silverware on the line should be a sackable offence. I play in rec leagues that are way more ruthless with team selection.

that's a bit rude to Courtois

Can't find anything online, but I'm sure I've seen pics of Ty during the celebration of the 2004 season or something similar.

Otherwise I'd fully believe he's just a Spurs fan trolling everyone.

Went back and re-watched some Xhaka comps from Monchengladbach. Of course they aren't going to paint a complete picture, but he was their captain and best player and made the Bundesliga team of the season. Led the league in most successful long passes per game...looked a completely different player than what we have now. I'm confused...we didn't buy a bad player. We could have prime Cannavaro and Nesta and I still think they'd get roasted with our nonexistent tactics and coaching.

He looks like an experienced but optimistic war correspondent hoping to make the world a better place. Compare it to last night...another 4-0 loss to Milan will send this man to his grave.
