1. I've liked Kos since he joined us. Lots of hatred for buying a kid who was in Ligue 2 only two years ago, but he has the ability to get the insanely tough tackles timed right. Problem is, he needs to work on his defensive position so he doesn't need to rely on his tackling. Kos just gets a lot of shtick for B'ham CC lulz
2. Where'd he come from? He never left bro
Ramsey and Wilshere are the new tag team. Did you see the cheeky pass he put over the top to Wilshere (who then uncharacteristically bobbled his first touch)? There's a bit of Fab left in Ramsey. No homo.
3. I really, really hate to start thinking of the squad without Fabregas, I still think there's a chance he'll stay and try one more time, especially after us shelling ManU after five tries and getting the elusive 1-0 win we've been clamoring for (win any way we can, one-nil to the Arsenal style will suit us just fine if we have to). Ramsey can be a spark plug, but I think if we over-rely on him he'll burn out just like Wilshere sort of has. Kid's tired. Ramsey / Fabregas tandem would be killer.
4. Duh.
Tuesday Club seems to have it in for him though, they want an experienced GK like Reina, and Szczesny pushing for the position as a reserve GK. Not sure if I agree with that.
5. Absolutely. Vidic hid it well though, didn't he? Only RvP saw it and was like "WTF!!!" but nobody else reacted. It happened fast, but the assistant HAS to see something like that.
6. Jon@AAMComp: You're welcome.
7. Eggh...the home shirt really is kinda blah. Also, I find it amusing that Cesc, Clichy, and Arshavin, the three players who might leave, are in the official press release photos. Hmph, where's Jack, Theo, and Robin??
8. Anybody see at halftime Eboue did...well...what Eboue does, and tried to give Jack a hug? Jack had a total "gtfo" face and pushed his arm aside. The kid's a battler, nice to see he's all business until the full 90 is up.
