I don't understand all of the uproar about the weather for the match. The air temperature was above freezing ffs, and the pitch temperature was 17C.

Steven Pienaar has retired. He was pretty good for a while there.

It’s amazing Wengy has so much faith in him given that he wants out and seems to hate Wengy. I guess that speaks to the defenders that Wenger has bought since Koscielny.

He must hold the record for playing for the most "top four/five/six" sides in the Premier League while winning the least trophies.

His only trophy was being on then bench for the 2013 Europa League final with Chelsea alongside a 17 year old Nathan Ake.

It was a decent silly season all things considered. It’s just that Wengy waited until arsenal got historically humiliated to do anything.

What was the name of that ugly idiot who Wengy paid like 15m for in 2014 that was a red card and own goal generator?

I’ve watched most of the city game now, and it wasn’t as bad as I expected. But my god Arsenal’s midfield is a a garbage fire. Also every player had a moment in the match where you could see each one individually lose all hope, which was kinda cool.

Mustafi sucks but I think that isn’t helped by the well publicised fact that Wenger doesn’t coach defenders at all, he just throws them in and it’s sink or swim. Like Squillacci wasn’t regarded as a complete clown until he got to Arsenal, I’m not saying he was ever gonna be great but he might have looked more competent in a well drilled system.

If I were Mustafi I'd hang my head in shame, that guy can gently caress off. Can you imagine any other manager not firing him into the sun after what he pulled on Sunday, let alone keeping him in the starting lineup? Wengy's misplaced faith is also the only thing keeping Xhaka's career going, so there's that. I'm melting, in a downward direction.

They only dropped 7 points during that run though, and then won their remaining 13 matches.

They've dropped 15 during the current run.

Yeah, but they won't go down :shrug:

They were 3-3-6 when he came on, now they're 9-7-12 and 7 points clear. Probably worth the cost of buying him out when they suck next season.

meh, he'd drink more than a pint is the point, part of why he requested it in that glass so he could down more and not have to wait on a server to refill it. (it was probably beer tbh)
