Nah I trust Vermaelen. It's more Giroud, I mean he works hard and god has he made the most of his talent but he really doesn't have a lot of talent... I don't know how Wenger does it but someone needs to give him a good £50-60m to get a world class striker cos he can't keep buying Chamakhs and Sanogos for free and trying to compete with £12m midtable (at best) strikers like Giroud. I think tomorrow's game all depends if Giroud has a good game or not, if he can keep his shots on target or if some of his throughballs connect. I'm pretty sure whichever team's striker scores tomorrow will win the game for their team cos the midfield and defence and even motivation is quite evenly matched.
 
diego costa?

take away a little bit of genius and a wee bit of dribbling skills from suarez and add height and physicality and you get diego costa. he'd be ideal for arsenal and chelsea.

i hope we get him so they don't get him lol
 
None of Atletico players are leaving in january. They are on top of the table(well 3 goals away from it) and one of the 'favourites' to win the CL.
This more likely to happen in the summer due to Atletico's financial problems as well as koke possibly going to Manu.
 
The only rumour that scares me is Reus to Man Utd. definitely wouldn't want that. Hopefully Januzaj scores like 500 goals so that won't happen.

By the way, how did Suarez get a one match ban for raising his middle finger at the opposition fans whereas Wilshere got 2 for the same thing? Weird..
 
if Suarez was english he would have been banned for 6 games for his middle finger antics. it's all a conspiracy against Luis suarez. probably the work of alex ferguson















wait wut

I don't think Reus will leave Dortmund next summer, as they already lose Lewandowski and maybe Gündogan.
Maybe they might do some deal with Kagawa, but I guess Reus will stay.

Gündogan would be anyways the type of player that helps United more
 
Gündogan would improve any team in the epl atm. He is that good.
The problem with Reus is that he has a buyout clause of 30 mil(at least around that figure). Even if Man united were to activate the clause I don't think Reus would agree terms with them after how they treated Kagawa since he left. If he is going to leave it's probably going to be Real Madrid.
 
I know that Reus has a buyout clause, but there are rumors that it's just for 2015 and later
And I hope that Dortmund was smart enough to do something like this, so that they don't lose half of the team in one year.

I also expect Reus to move to Madrid/Barca, but Barca won't need him
 
Really can't watch this match today.. poor nerves.

Will look at the result a few hours after it's over.

Chelsea always have our number, Arsenal is on the decline and showing a weak spine with no composure.. there's really no chance we win this.

4-1 to Chelsea. Lampard with 2, Ozil with 1.

that was beyond terrible... reminds me of the Chelsea man utd 0-0 match at old toilet


at least we're top at Christmas. i'm sure that means a lot
 
What did you expect Mourinho to do lol. We don't have a #9( they haven't scored this year away from home) so it was better to put more bodies in the midfield rather than go for it.

What we need is someone to play beside Ramires in the '2' in front of the back four. Lampard is too old.

Edit: We are 2 points off #1 playing with ten men(basically). Not too bad.

Man City are still favourites to win imo.

I did what I could, but it wasn't enough.

I'll take the fucking draw, Merry Christmas.



Pros: Our next handful of fixtures aren't that frightening, others have it worse.
 
And would have won it if it wasn't for the crossbar.

As a closeted athiest, this is a troubling time for me wherein I'm forced to pretend to believe in something that I don't believe in because my family wouldn't accept...oops wrong thread.
