  1. He may have grown up supporting Arsenal/still support them now, no issue with that. It’s clear he loves the club and loves what he does, despite it being just a job. You can still be passionate about the environment you’re in.
  2. This one is enjoyable… Edit: they’ve deleted the video hahaha. (Cardiff fan ranting)
  3. Kipre hated every second of dealing with Wells today. And Conway for that matter. He was quality. Deserved a goal for his efforts and thoroughly deserved the standing ovation.
  4. Really like him. He’s so busy!! Chased everything, ran himself into the ground. Great finisher. Loves the club. Tommy’s gonna get ya!
  5. Was a good three or four thousand below what was announced too.
  6. He’s a fan favourite because he has a point of difference… unfortunately his point of difference is his hair rather than his footballing ability! Holds on to the ball too often, doesn’t dictate a game. Shows glimpses but not enough.
  7. Remember him pulling his hamstring as a Lino in a Chairman’s match my dad played in in the late 90s ? Went down like he’d be shot! Proper sad news. Certainly livened up matchday. Thoughts go out to his nearest and dearest.
  8. I was mascot for that Mansfield game. What a day!
  9. He was better than Andy Smith!

    Downsy

    Have you ever stopped to think that Downsy may have been having a bad day? Something may have been happening in his life that particularly affected him that day? Have you ever been publicly scrutinised for doing your job? Have you been purposely wound up to the point of no return? Had a camera shoved in your direction when you reach said point? Downsy has his flaws in the position he holds, there’s no denying that and criticism there is fair. But there seems to be an underlying hatred from some because he’s not “one of us” or what we expect/desire our stadium announcer to be. Give the guy a ******* break.
  11. How can you ask a man of his age, off the back of a long-term injury, to play 90 minutes every week? He has been flogged. Promising start to the season but he’s faded and understandably so. And my god he is not a striker that should be (or can) running the channels!!! Poor recruitment strategy not bringing someone in similar to him. However, we’re 3-0 down away to Birmingham… game done… why not replace him with a young, hungry striker, keen to show what he’s about and rest him for Saturday?!
  12. Kalas totally sold by the reverse pass and had no idea where Moore was. Can blame Bentley all you want for not saving it originally but that lies with Kalas.
  13. Awful defending from Atkinson. Caught in two minds - did nothing! Owes Baker (and Bentley) a pint.
  14. Alex Sanderson has already worked wonders at Sale. Their defence is based off a tactic Saracens have used for years. Their success has been built on their 'Wolfpack mentality' which he implemented so it's no surprise to see them hit the ground running with it. After last week's result, it's a bit of a reality check for Pat Lam but no doubt they'll pump Gloucester next week and continue to build! The loss could make their season.
  15. Hopefully the last game Ashley Williams has played for us. Absolute joke. Let the club down. Clown.
  16. Much better. The high press has been really effective. Kick in the face seems to have knocked the thought of getting to the byline into COD. Nagy and Smith linked up very well, JD and Vyner look assured. Just need to continue in the same vain but test the keeper. Wells needs to liven up though.
  17. Clarke-Harris is worth £24m in today’s market they’ll be fine...
  18. Sheedy was very good for the first 40. Like the look of Fricker. Sarries turned it on in the second half and were quality. Earl, Tompkins and Malins - all Academy products - were incredible. At least one will receive an England training squad call-up (likely Earl).
  19. Dariwka, Roberts and Doyle are all pretty decent players and all start. It's going to be a toughie today!
