Is Merse drinking again:

"Liverpool wouldn't buy him tomorrow morning, I wouldn't have thought any of the top four would. He can and will get better, but he's done great. "

That's Torriera not Xhaka he's talking about.

{Ed025's Note - merse is a bit of an arse at times SY..

I have absolutely no time for that half wit, he is thicker than a whale omelette and zero he says has any merit whatsoever.

God only knows why he’s even employed as a pundit. 🙄.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - i cant take him seriously stoner, hes what you would call a quarter wit mate..

15 Dec 2018 23:37:23
His punditry skills are about as good as Michael Owen’s 🤣 Paul Merson seriously talks him self out of being a club great, unfortunately.

You would have thought that his bitterness towards arsenal would have left when wenger did as I’m sure his incoherent rants are solely because wenger didn’t want a piss can in the dressing room.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I just don't get what he sees? There is only Chelsea that wouldn't be improved by signing Torreira and that's because they have Kante already.}

Torreira is a top class midfielder and would get in any top six team easily.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed0333's Note - easily

What constitutes a vegan club Ed?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - they are entirely vegan mate. All the food served, including players' meals etc. They are trying to be sustainable and have all sorts of certificates and awards.}

14 Dec 2018 12:38:44
That's it, that's the final straw it's now official, the world has gone mad! Vegan football teams?
Wow It will be a real grudge match if they ever meet Cowdenbeath:-)

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - dags may not be around but he has clearly left his jokebook in your hands!}

I'm only keeping it warm for him until he comes back Ed mate :-)
I wonder if in 10 years time we will have meat shelters like smoking shelters at pubs and workplaces where people have to go and stand out in the rain and cold to eat a burger and KFC will have to keep all their food behind screens out of view of anyone who might be tempted jusr by the sight of a chicken zinger meal :-)

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - sounds plausible to me, though it is more likely only the wealthy will be able to afford meat.}

14 Dec 2018 13:27:25
Oh well 4 and 20 blackbird pie it is for the rest of us then :-)

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - there are always plenty of pigeons and seagulls....}

Snails frogs worms antelopes hedgehogs guinea pigs are all pretty plentiful in the UK if you get peckish but don't make it onto the rich list :-)

They have antelopes roaming around where you are?

{Ed001's Note - he is obviously living in a zoo....}

Are my beloved Whitby town really 7th teir . 😂 is there now a Whitby rumours page.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - they need to reach 6th tier for that. When they do, we will change it to just top 5 tiers....}

17 Dec 2018 07:14:04
You have obviously never been to the capital of gods country Ed. I can still remember the time we beat the fearsome north ferriby at the old Wembley for the FA vase. I bet Liverpool with all their might have not managed such a feat. 😂.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I can honestly say Liverpool have never won that particular trophy, so you have one over us on that!}

Pleased to see us win, keep a clean sheet, play some promising youngsters, witness Koscielny's return, and extend the unbeaten run to 22 matches.

It was good to see, despite the match being meaningless, Emery enthusiastically orchestrating the team from the touchline on a bitterly cold night.

As a loyal Arsenal fan I fail to understand why 58,000 seats are sold and yet only 21,000 fans turn up.

It will be interesting to see how we line up on Sunday with so many CB's out. Koscileny may well start, possibly alongside Monreal or would it give us greater defensive security if we played Lichtsteiner, Koscielny and Monreal in a 3 man defence?

It looks like Dick is happy playing with 3 at the back and I think saints will be difficult to beat in the first home game under a new manager so it's important to be at our strongest possible.
22 games unbeaten is brilliant but it's the 14 unbeaten in the premier league that really matters, 14 down 35 to go then, or am I getting just a tad ahead of myself there :-)

No I’m a little confused, is Mustafi injured or suspended?
Also with kos, licht and monreal I think they can put a decent shift to cover against Southampton.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think he's both Moe mate, a win is required to keep pace with the top 4 chasers and of course put distance between us and other top 5 hopefuls.
It would be nice to achieve it with a glowing display but a wins a win and however it comes is fine by me :-)

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes, Mustafi is definitely suspended and suffered an injury, although I read somewhere that the injury isn't too serious and he should return soon.
What intrigues me is that Mavropanos has been out with a groin injury since August and that we are looking to sign a CB in January.
By January, fitness permitting we should have Mustafi, Sokratis, Koscielny and Mavropanos who reportedly resumes training this month. Perhaps we are going to be playing 3 at the back more often, which means we need at least 5 options.
