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.

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.            
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
