    Supports Arsenal!!

    Its just a job!.

    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. 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.

    This 3 at the back just doesn’t work. Was we look a threat going forward but no shape defensively and our centre backs get isolated. Vyner was poor yes but it doesn’t help that he had two wing backs on his side that cannot defend. We have to revert to 4 at the back. I personally would go with the following:

     

    O’Leary

     

    Tanner

    Klose

    Atkinson

    Dasilva

     

    Wilson

    Naismith

    Scott

    Sykes

     

    Weimann

    Martin

     

    Neismith sat in front of the back 4. Wainman in the hole behind Martin.

     

    ???? Hello League 1!

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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?!

  7. 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.

  8. 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).
