Not football related but the passing Nelson Mandela is a very sad thing for the human race.

Bar far the greatest man of my life time who showed us all a better way forward for the human race, no bitterness no revenge just forgiveness and moving forward to a better world.

God bless Mr Mandela you showed us all a better way,

Thank you.

Good post G62, the man was a legend and an inspiration to one and all.
May he rest in peace.

A Titan of Humanity

If a world exists a few thousand years from now, and history is not erased at some point, they will still follow his example

Nelson Mandela

I can't name anyone alive whose life has meant as much to humanity at its core

He made the world a better place for all of us

Hi all,

Just wondering what everyones' thoughts were on Morata. I have read recently that both Wenger and Ancelotti both denied that a loan deal was in place, but does that really mean anything? Surely managers want to keep their teams focused on the task at hand and not be distracted by transfer specualtion.

Also, aren't managers not allowed to speak about players of other teams unless it's during a transfer window? I know players can pretty much say what they want.

With Giroud playing so well, does Wenger bring in a supporting striker who would be happy playing second fiddle, or bring in an established striker to add competition?

I have heard Berbatov, Chicharito, and Dzeko's names brought up on here, but who do you think we will actually get?

Peace,
Trinidad-Gooner

Nobody, Sanogo and Bendtner will be here.

I think we will get a pacey striker or left winger around the age of 20

Just seen a headline from a paper which read, "Arsene reveals pep talk he had with Bendtner." It went along the lines of "Sorry Nicklas, Bayern haven't come in for you yet."
Flybo

Bendtner doesn't fancy Bayern, apparently he is holding out for Barcelona or Real Madrid.

The difference this season is we never lost any quality players in the summer

We finally got our dm in flamini and a free transfer, this is the signing that will win the pl

Big game Sunday

We are about to give some 1 a hammering

5-0

Ozil to score 3

We're not thrashing Everton, I'd take a goal or two and another clean sheet

We won't thrash Everton at all, I'd take a 90th minute winner 1-0

The run up to the new year will be extremely important. It is good to have the Capital One Cup out of the way, whereas our challengers for the title are mostly still in it and in the latter rounds will no doubt put out strong teams. I would love to see us avoid defeat in Napoli and qualify top of our CL group, giving us a chance of progressing further and it will boost our confidence. I feel we need to win Sundays home match against Everton, then avoid defeat against Man City & Chelsea. Two away wins against West Ham & Newcastle, would take us perfectly into the new year. I am not sure about signings in January, as they may upset the togetherness of the squad. We need a right-sided centre back & a striker, but with Podolski & the Ox coming back, there is competition for places already. If we don't make the signings mentioned, we have Bendtner, Podolski & Walcott who could, at a push, replace Giroud. We have Vermaelen & Sagna who can cover at CB.

I was cleaning out the loft the other day with my wife.
Filthy, dirty and covered in cobwebs, but shes good with the kids.

This one made me chuckle.

Thanks BB but you won't be laughing on sunday when we kick your Evertonian butts lol (only joking mate)

I went to Blackpool last week and knocked at the first hotel I saw.
The woman opened the upstairs window and shouted "what do you want?"

I said "i want to stay here"

She said "stay there than" and shut the window.
