One more point from two games and we will be through to the next round - probably to meet Real or Barcelona and get dumped out straight away! Great game for the first hour and then the not so unbelievable happened - although their first goal was definitely offside

Quite simple, Wenger is the only person that can't see what is blindingly obvious to all and sundry. We got rid of Vermalen and didn't replace him, Mertesacker isn't good enough, same goes for Arteta and Flamini, and unless Wilshere sorts himself out, he needs to go. We've been crying out for a decent, Kompanyesque central defender for ages, same can be said for a Vieira repalcement who can battle and some steel to the defence midfield position, plus we've needed a world class striker for at least 2 seasons. We the fans can see it, Wenger can't. As loathsome as Mourinho is, he saw last season that he needed a world class striker and bought Costa, we got Welbeck. We bought Sanchez and Ozil, as good as they are, they aren't what the club was crying out for. Personally I'd rather we didn't qualify for CMPL for a season, which may act as the wake up call Wenger and the board need.

I'd be very pissed off if I was one of those Liverpool players on the bench though. As a top player you want to play in the big games and it doesn't get much bigger than Real Madrid.


As for Arsenal. They should spend some money in January. Sanchez is a little gem of a player but he can't do it all on his own. PD is right about the type of players they need. They'll finish in the top four again at the end of the season, no doubt about it. They always do.

I was quite impressed with Liverpool's first half, which is all I saw. However I couldn't help thinking that given the club's European history it seemed wrong to be playing a 'reserve' side in such a fixture. I'm sure Rogers' plan is to have a fresh team to face Chelsea and sneak into 2nd place in this group. But it could go very wrong, very easily.

It certainly could. But to be fair to the "reserve" side, they played better than the first team have done this season for the most part.


That said, I'd have liked to have seen Sterling start.


Borini worked hard and did pretty well, but we desperately need Sturridge back and another striker.

Wenger buys players with the same work ethic, and skill level as Sanchez, I can see him waving goodbye in the Summer and I wouldn't blame him. We need four players in positions I mentioned in my earlier post and we MAY challenge once again. As we all know, the money needs to be spent on the right players and in Sanchezs case, Wenger was spot on.

there has been many player that arsenal have missed out on that were available its just that they didnt persue enough or wither the player didnt want to come but there is no excuse for wenger. this summer and last summer they were linked with so many strikers higuain,balotelli,falcao,cavani,carlos bacca to name a few and we ended up with wellbeck I mean he is a great player dont get me wrong but really. arsene wenger should show some motivation to the fans and get them what they want. some midfielders also that we missed out on or something happened that we didnt get them khedira, bender, carvalho, fabregas 'which was an easy one to get but mister wenger said no we have too many midfielders. and defenders also sokratis, and that other defender that went to roma to replace benatia forgot his name monolas or something along that line. its just ridiculous although sanchez was an excelent buy and i always knew he was an amazing player but just him is not enough to win everything.

I heard that too, but I'm not sure we ever made an approach.

Not the answer as far as I'm concerned. As for the media hysteria following our draw on Tuesday, strangley this hasn't been replicated following the chavs draw against the mighty Maribor or the stuffing handed out to City. Shock.

as a change of pace there was a nice little opinion piece from Hayden Thorpe (of wild beasts fame) on life as a newcastle fan.

Although i found his last paragraph a bit depressing, i secretly harbour hopes that football will one day become a bit more normal, rather than more overblown being the only hope remaining for a team.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
