Morning everyone! Late late late notice I know, but I don’t suppose anyone is selling a ticket for the Leicester game tonight?

Detestable. Vastly overrated. Horrible attitude. Spoilt brat. Prima Donna. The absolute minimum we expect as fans is for players to work hard on the pitch and he just didn’t. I’ll even go as far as saying he feigned the injury against Liverpool because he didn’t fancy it after 10 minutes. Good...

Save us Erik!

In a very poor Arsenal side and being played out of position though. Depends how much we’d have to pay but worth a punt IMO. Regarding ASM, maybe more 30-40mil then. Spurs bought Sissoko for 35mil last time they went down and he’ll desperately want out.

Really?! Scholes tops the lot and Tevez isn’t anywhere near that list IMO. I’d also include Cantona, Berbatov, Beckham, Veron and Van Persie Kanchelskis, Sheringham, Carrick and Butt aren’t far off either. Very underrated.

Not pace merchants, but athletes. Fernandinho, Rodri, Gundogan aren’t great technically. De Bruyne, Foden, Mahrez are good but not at the Scholes, Pirlo, Xavi, Iniesta, Alonso level. I’d argue Bernardo Silva is probably the closest to that level in terms of relying on pure technical ability...

You could go beyond that timeframe though. Go back 25 plus years and take players like Le Tissier, Merson, Bergkamp, Sheringham etc. Players that just oozed class and relied predominantly on their ability rather than their athleticism. Where would they fit in the modern game? Are there any...

Haaland is going Barca, Real or City. Kane is only an option if City get Haaland and we only want to sign one player for a window or two. Anyone mentioned Aubameyang? Seems unhappy at Arsenal and could be available at a decent-ish price. Could still get a good few years out of him and gradually...

The game has changed, unfortunately. We are seeing less and less technical players come through. The game is all about pace and athleticism now, what you can do with a ball at your feet comes second. Think about it - how many purely technical footballers exist in the modern game? Modric is...

You could argue it was justice for what happened in the same fixture a season before. But there’s no denying that they were a great side.

We got away with murder that day! RVN and Ferdinand should’ve been off before HT. It’s never a penalty either, I knew that at the time watching as a 14 year old boy.

My second favourite player of all time behind Scholes. I just loved how predatory he was. That feeling of knowing he could score at any time in any game irregardless of if he was playing well or not. A proper centre forward. He only scored one goal outside of the box for us! He held the ball up...
