I knew Maribor were good.

Downing makes the England squad, well deserved

[aquarius moon]

Likewise Berahino

[Parkdrive]

A few Arsenal players made the squad, odds on at least one will come back injured. Poxy international nonsense.

Let's hope so, eh.

Spuds have got no such concerns have they eh Jah?

[Jah Lush]

Townsend, though I'll doubt he'll play. So, yeah, you're right.

[spaul88]

yeah defently can see an arsenal player getting injured.

[red devil]

There are lots of internationals/friendlies coming up involving players of most clubs, they're all at risk of picking up an injury, part of football life...

[Mick Mac]

Hey - but Arsenal are special.

Agreed, but if he plays will Roy use him in his new central role? Picking Carrick is a strange one, just come back from longish injury and when he's picked him for the squad in the past, he's hardly ever played him. Maybe Roy has serious doubts about Wilshere in the DM role...

What are these essentials? IMO the main essential to be successful in the modern game is an owner with deep pockets who's willing to put his hands in them, and/or a large commercial revenue stream, neither of which Newcastle have got.

Also helps not to sell your best player and not replace him e.g. Cabaye...

Don't know what papers you were reading but City and their fans (lack of) got an absolute pasting from the media...

Well done for recognizing the fact. I see you and RD have teamed up again as the EDF's answer to the Chuckle Brothers.

Well at least they have a striker who can score goals, perhaps your shower might want to stick in a ridiculous bid and add him to the the other players you've over paid for?

Someone's got to, to counter all your misery. Cheer up fellah...

Any time I feel miserable I just look at the current mess the rags are in, cheers me up no end.

Rumour has it that the Chuckle Brothers are on Arse's coaching staff....to me, to you, to me, to you...Boom! Boom!

Let's face it you need a sense of humour to support the rags at the moment don't you? All that money spent and City waving down at you.

Great game on BBC2 - old style cup football - really good to watch. Warrington for the cup!

[red devil]

I think the fans should've gone old skool too, and had a mass fur lined parka hood pitch invasion at the end...
