Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Brentford giving fans the chance to see the game vs Stevenage this Staturday for just £1. I've already got my tickets and can't wait to go along, should be a huge (by our standards) crowd. A win could see us go top of League 1, could be a massive year for us. FA Cup vs Bradford tonight as well, let's see if we can do better than Arsenal.
Wilshere is world class and so was Ramsey before his leg break, but not so much recently. Gibbs has improved immensely and if he keeps it up is looking very much like a young Ashley Cole. Ox is ox, great potential in the lad and has the right attitude. Jenkinson still has some way to go but has improved an awful lot this season. All in all, 5 good signings!
Walcott playing lone striker through the middle in the Reading game was interesting, I didn't think he had it in him but he actually did quite well. The way that Arsenal play (and the way Reading defended) meant that he had a lot of support from Podolski and Cazorla, I wonder if it was a game against Chelsea or Man City would he be as well supported and how he would get on then. I still don't see it, I think he needs a big man supporting him.
As for Leeds vs Chelsea... Please don't get injured Mata, I just bought you in Fantasy footy!!! Decent match so far.
