Hleb looked so short on fitness in the 2nd half, it was saddening to see. Poor Jacky got himself sent off, but I think he'll learn from it. That was a very, very bad challenge. But he played BRILLIANTLY all day up to that point. Pinpoint passing, beautiful 1-2 that should've opened the scoring with Chamakh.

Can someone explain to me why Squillaci is the captain? I'd rather Nasri take the armband.

Now then...Song is our only holding midfielder, 4-1-3-2 formation, anybody?

Squillaci is senior in age to everyone else I suppose, Wenger also likes the Captain to shout commands from the back, so its natural he'd pick him. But as far as team seniority is concerned, I agree, Nazzy would be great.

I really would like Song to stay put, he likes to go forward too much, and while he can look brilliant at times, he dispossesses the ball entirely too much leading to counter attacks. I've never been a fan of a lone striker, so that formation would be nice to test just to see how we run it.

Mario Gomez nets 3...is he back? I sure hope so!

cow · 10-16-2010, 10:31 PM

Was he ever there?

10-16-2010, 10:33 PM

At Bayern no. Stuttgart? Yes!

10-16-2010, 10:34 PM

2nd goal was the Super Mario we know and love!

Red370 · 10-16-2010, 10:58 PM

maybe he'll show up for Germany one day like that.

10-16-2010, 10:59 PM

lmao right! Germany has a pretty well balanced attack as it is with tons of depth but it couldnt hurt!

Arsenal won today from what I saw. What was the outcome again and against who?

phelan · 10-17-2010, 01:35 PM

Arsenal 2-1 Birmingham City

lulz Liverpool 0-2 Everton. Poor, poor scousers.

10-17-2010, 03:47 PM

News is Torres may go to Inter?

phelan · 10-17-2010, 11:06 PM

news is wayne rooney wants out. SAF is an idiot, he has tossed great players to the side because they got into a little pissing contest with him. hah!

rumor is man city. god that'd be a knife in the back for ManUre.

Rooney's contract runs through the end of 2011. I wonder if they'd sell him or let his contract run out.

More than anything, I'd bet money they'd do their best to keep him. Rooney's too valuable a player to write off, even despite his recent form.

Red370 · 10-18-2010, 09:38 AM

does anyone else find it amusing that its Arsenal that are labeled thugs now? I got a good laugh out of that article.

So i'm reading all these articles talking about Cesc, Theo and Dane are making a comeback from injury for the Shaktar game, and I cant help but think, wtf is with all these pansy a$$ injuries these guys are out for weeks with? I've played entire matches with a badly sprained ankle, i've played games with broken metatarsals, hip injuries, etc. Why do they baby these players like they do? If i had an issue, i'd ace it up good and tight and a quick shot of cortizone if the pain was too much, if you ask me, modern day footballers are pussies.
