If you're going to hate every player who wants away when a bigger club comes calling you'll be hating quite a few people.

Mbiwa looked pretty decent today. Colo has that effect on fellow defenders though.

Thank goodness for that. My weekend is saved! How shite or otherwise our season is going to depend greatly on us keeping Ben arfa fit.

Jarvis is very underrated and while he got past Debuchy a couple of times I thought all in all he was quite well marshalled. Half of the times Debuchy did get beat he was back to make the tackle and stop the cross.

Spot on most of that article. Sums up what we've been feeling. They've sucked out the pride from the club. Football isnt fun any more.

Aye valid point that. Now with Kinnear at the club and 'lesser' clubs showing a lot more ambition than us you have to wonder if that effect will be larger than ever this season. As a player it must be reassuring to know where you are going as a team, something to aim for and look to the future for. At best we're a stagnant club at the moment and you cant blame any half decent player for wanting away or not wanting to join us.

Yup, absolute farce this. No lessons learnt from last summer. Or rather they just dont give a shit.

Still no news of a bid from anywhere reliable though.

Agree. In the complete and utter mess that we are just better not to make guess and support the players on the pitch.

Its supposed to be in Euros for us too isnt it? At least on the sites Ive read.

Was reading comments from Krul on twitter about hoping there would be a good crowd for tomorrow's game. Made me think about this discussion again. Lets say our average attendance came down to 30 000 this season. By staying away do we further demoralise already frustrated players? Those pulling up their socks and going for it for the sake of the fans and the club. How much would it affect overall performance and the position we end up at at the end of the season. Would the hit on Ashley's pocket be worth any potentially adverse effects on player morale and thus performances? Its all hypothetical of course, just wondering.

Wish we would try at least. Was very impressed with him at Wigan and he hasnt really been given a proper chance at Chelsea. If they are willing to loan him a bid in the region of 5M-7M might get him. Surely we're still a more attractive proposition than bloody West Brom Clarke or not.

West Brom being linked with Moses. Why arent we in for him? Will he be too expensive or are West Brom another one of those 'bigger clubs' we have to wait up for.

Human nature, always looking for the things we cant have

accountant/auditor. Like living on the edge I do

Alright but spare a thought for this poor soul!

Not many things worse than getting ready to pack up at work on a Friday and suddenly finding out you've got to come in tomorrow

Galloway brilliant as usual in his speech.

Bloody Swansea and Southampton always making things difficult for us

Ahem?

Just hoping to see some proper movement and graft up front. Really need Cisse to get back on his game now. Also looking forward to seeing Anita and Sissoko play together again, I still dont think Cabaye will start.

Is that a serious question?

Was getting shrugged off the ball mighty easily last night. Too early to say and all that of course

Arsenal are in a spot of bother there.

Seen nothing from Vuckic thus far that makes me think he's a premiership standard player. Admittedly I havent watched too much of him though.
