William Hill are offering 7 to 1 on for my gobby gooner workmate going sick on Monday
;lol
I have never seen us dominate a game like that against one of the big boys.
Our defensive setup was awesome while allowing us to attack with great intent.
Pelle is showing us what being a top manager is all about...
Arnie?I hope that’s not the last we’ll see of him,but if the rumours are true then we’ll survive,it’s happened countless times before and we’re still here.
Pleased for Rice, he deserved that for sure, putting in many man of match performances to get a winning goal against a top team, nice...
Re Arnie, that wave, sorry! & Pelle's comment, get rid, thanks for what he did etc & get what we can , more than the £35 mill quoted tho....
Agree about Cresswell, great show & also thought Felipe, Nasri did really well, infact there was not a bad performance from any of our players IMO.
It'll be RICE and chips tonight for supper!!... ;scarf
If he were to go, I don't think we would absolutely need to get a replacement in Jan.
We are in a position where we can afford to give Silva a chance, and have AC, Little Pea, Perez and even Antonio.
I'd trust Pelle to get us a good player in the summer.
January is a time where clubs tend to get mugged off, particularly those who clearly have £40-50M in the bank.
We aren’t going to be relegated, so I don’t think we’d need to panic buy.
Since Anderson started to show himself to consistently be the main man attacking wise, IMO Arnie has struggled. I think his contribution since probably November wouldn’t be particularly missed. Obviously I don’t want him to leave, but I don’t think it’s as world ending as it would have been in the summer, nor as damaging as it was when Payet left.
Were I an Arsenal fan however I would be really disappointed as they have quality all over the field but didn't begin to play until going down.
With regard Arnie....
He will be very hard to replace so the fee must be £40m minimum for me. We can also only allow him to leave this window if we have a replacement as Carroll and Perez do not have the goals in them. We still have ambitions for this season regarding a full out attack on the FA Cup and a 8-6 finish, Arnie at this point is a massive asset to those ambitions.
We also need be careful as it's Arnie today and we can say, that's who he is etc but it sends a message to players and teams who will definitely look to pick off what Pelle is building in this squad. Come the summer there may well be offers for Diop and Anderson, give it two years and Rice may be getting offers from all directions, and we may after Payet and now Arnie be the team that sells on demand if you follow the template set. We have the squad to function better without Arnie than we did without Payet, but we also have the squad to stick him in the reserves if he sulks and send a message. That message may in the long term serve more than the profit taken on Arnie.
Would love to turn them over.
I’ll post it up tomorrow sir ;ok
How good was Cresswell today too? Would be great to see him get back to his best!
Love the tie, good to see unbiased commentary on TV......
I like the way Arthur can take on players and his close control but he just can't defend and today I don't think we would have won if Arthur was in the team at left back. Cresswell is getting back to his old self since his return, quite a while ago now, from injury.
Great game all round today and we made Arsenal look quite ordinary ;wahoo
Good win today against the worst Arsenal team for years. So pleased for Rice to score the winner today, a goal that was celebrated with gusto around the stadium. He is a real star who we should enjoy while we can.
Good performances around the pitch and I agree with others that Cresswell had his best game for a long time. Nasri showed his class and when he is match fit will be special for us. Oggy and Diop regained their form and dominated.
All in all a good day at the office.
P.S. Great pictures of Rice on twitter 'down the pub' celebrating with Hammers fans.
Although, from Pelle's post match remarks where he referred to hoping the issue would be sorted in 'the next few days', I suspect we might not see him back at the club.
