    Is there a way to factor in say... actual clear cut chances into it ?

    What I mean is, my man is generally relying on a midfield almost entirely bereft of creativity. He's missed some 1v1s, sure, but I feel as if he hasn't received the type of service that would push him on to being prolific beyond his current run of form.

    Considering he regularly beasts it in the trivia thread it's not exactly out of character for him. He finds stats and figures interesting.

    I swear Sincere did it once or twice, then one or two people had a pop so he decided he was going to do it religiously.

    Ross is mostly a cock but it’s refreshing to hear a bit of straight talking rather than the usual politician riddles.

    Arsenal have completely imploded.

    I do not understand why manager after manager seems to have confidence in Xhaka and/or Ozil.

    AFTV is going to be golden. In all honesty it's better viewing than the actual football, if you can even call it that.

    Whoever is in charge of transfers at Lille has played a blinder with Pepe.

    Arsenal are embarrassingly bad and Ljungberg looks one of the least inspiring people in world history. They need West Ham to outshit them here as their next few games are tough aren't they?

    I feel like you had a big part in him scoring just then so cheers for that, at least.

    You're right, of course.

    I'm a regular viewer to be honest and I can understand a lot of the concerns. I was going to ask if you would have kept Arsene Wenger with hindsight but I don't think Emery's record was all too dissimilar IIRC.

    I don't see it as a huge job either. New defence is definitely needed as Leno isn't too and I would say a new midfielder but it still boggles the mind that Ramsey was allowed to just walk away. I think most of your issues are of your own doing.

    I mean, was allowed and was allowed. How do you force someone to sign a contract? He left because they were being shit.

    And no, I wouldn't have kept Wenger around. The club just needs 5-10 years of overhaul, probably go through a few managers. If they can keep hold of these quite promising kids like Martinelli, Guendouzi Willock and Nelson etc, and if a player like Holding actually stays fit and steps it up a notch, then there might be a core to build on for the future.

    But yeah I'm not optimistic at all.

    As far as I was aware it was Arsenal who withdrew the contract because the club had a different vision, no? For me it should still ring huge alarm bells as he's not the first nor the last to be able to leave on a free and we're not talking bit part players here.

    Martinelli I do like but I take it with a pinch of salt when big clubs bring in the youngsters as it very rarely works out in the long term. Even in the days of Wenger when he used to use the cup competitions for the kids, how many actually 'made it'.

    One thing that has always been consistent with Arsenal in my opinion is just how fragile they are from a mental aspect. I used to think it was a Wenger thing but clearly it's something that I believe is ingrained in the club these days. You just know when the going gets tough that Arsenal are going to fold, often in spectacular style too.

    I was going to caveat that with apologies in advance to Bamster et al, but thought the likelihood too far-fetched.

    I was genuinely going to write a big OP about Vietnamese football this month that'll now have to wait until January. Blame Pleb.

    That also mean's Spikey's Southend OP is delayed.

    I look forward to it. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on Doan Van Hau, the situation around Bau Hien and the general positivity and success around the national of late. All thanks to Mr Hang-seo, or were the seeds of success planted by Bau Duc and the famed HAGL academy?

    Sorry can you tell me the previous players that were allowed to leave on a free?

    He wanted 400 grand a week and surprise, surprise, he's injured again. He's played 7 games with only 3 starts. Bullet dodged.

    My bad, I meant running down contracts but you get the point I was trying to make, I hope.

    What he wanted is immaterial as it was Arsenal who ended negotiations, no? Jack Wilshire and Pires spring to mind, obviously the obvious one in RvP being sold for peanuts to direct rival.

    I may be bias with Ramsey given he's our best midfielder though.

    I want Arsenal to be good tbh, I have no qualms with them. Right now the club is a bit of a joke.

    I think players running down contracts and signing for other teams on huge deals is going to get more and more common. The ridiculous transfer fees being paid at the moment will see to that.

    I have issue with that either. Footballer hands in transfer request he's a traitor, footballer fulfils his contract he's a cunt. Sometimes I feel they can't win.

    Perhaps but then let's not forget the sacrifice that many make in order to obtain that end goal. I don't understand the argument either as if such money was offered to 99.9% of people then they too would accept it. No footballer is going to say "oh no, that's too much money."

    I have more problems with agent fees or those who do fuck all collecting the big money. That's not to say I agree with the OTT money in the in the game but it is what it is.

    Our youngsters found themselves 2-0 down in the Uefa Youth League with twenty odd minutes to go.

    Final result. Salzburg 2-3 Liverpool. It's ingrained.

    Pretty big game tonight for Fulham in the Championship. I'm already accepting the fact that automatic promotion is out of reach, but we're in the midst of a tough run of fixtures and really need to somehow get a win out of tonight's game at Preston, as we have Brentford and Leeds in the next two games.

    Was the thought around Ramsey was he's a cunt? I had seen a lot of positive about him personally but I'm obviously not in the country lol

    One day we're going to have a game when all the players have their shooting boots on and someone is going to get an absolute spanking that will make Leicesters win over Southampton seem like nothing.
