I dont think hes even making the Ajax matchday squad for the league

CatInABox

I see that Santi and Giroud scored tonight, which is great, would love for Santi to start scoring again, although I think his present role with us cuts down on his chances a fair bit.

Not really football related, but you could hear the explosion in Paris over the TV, absolutely crazy. Hope everyone is okay over there.

Giroud scores again. But the awful situation in Paris greatly overshadows the match of corse

There's always hope, I think we are capable of a draw, they have some individually good players but thats easier to defend against than a well oiled team.

I've backed Bosnia but we are capable of sneaking the draw. Football can throw out some surprise results I'm worried Hungry took this rounds quota last night

Should have backed the draw...

I back both teams to score

A truly devastating night for Paris, France and the wider world really. Such a horrible thing to happen, particularly to city which has only recently experienced a similar horrifying incident.

It's not a night for football or clubs or anything like that but it feels natural for me to think about the likes of Giroud and Koscielny. Both involved in tonight's game, both should be delighted with themselves, a goal for Oliver and a clean sheet for Laurent. I just hope both those guys are ok. It must be a difficult night for them.

Thinking of Mesut too.

Thankfully he didn't travel. The German team spent the night in the State de France. Not ideal.

Obviously pales into insignificance compared to what happened elsewhere in Paris

Rested because he gets no winter break in the premier league.

I have pressed the close account thing- gone through it twice. I don't know. I'm on Twitter if anyone wants to keep in touch @efbman

Good little read

Very sad to see Efb go. I didnt agree with every post he made and i agreed with quite a few others but he is a real good decent guy who added alot to this thread. All the best to him for the future.

I guess I will have to carry the "rainbow" flag now that efb is gone!

Did anyone read this about Flamini?

In the history books in a hundred years time, there will be Flamini's name in the list of the greatest pioneers of the 21st century :pac:

You would have to wonder about the intricacies of fate at times. Had Flamster not gone to Milan would he ever have bumped into his co founder?

Looper007

has Francis Coquelin been called up to the French Squad yet? I'm really surprised seen as he's one of the best in his position in the PL and probably one of the best in Europe.

brianregan09

Guess Flamini is handy in the engine room in more ways than one

L'prof

Cheerio EFB, I'll miss the days of logging in here to 40 new posts, 28 of which were by you. Hopefully you'll reconsider, if only to post in here! Who's going to defend Giroud now??? Wenger will have no option but to replace him in January! Won't somebody please think of Giroud!!!

I don't really contribute to Twitter or even check it all that much, but I might give ya a follow all the same.

Brooklyn Beckham made an appearance in that charity game at old trafford today

In fairness, he looks a bit of a baller alhough he was up against alot of overweight ex-footballers albeit formerly world class footballers

emmetlego

Good luck efb, shame you couldn't stick it out! Best wishes.

Auld Sol has been eating too many pies by the looks of it...looked fair roundy..

Becks crossing is still just unreal, doubt there is anyone betting in the world at it.

Manach

On efb, sorry to see such an Arsenal and long time boardsie leave: all the best.

MaxPower89

Saw on the Guardian that Arsene is being asked by the FA to explain his doping comments from the l'equipe interview. Seems a little weird, I presume he wouldn't be under pressure to name names. Is there a belief that Football is somehow clean amongst the top brass? Just looking at other sports, its pretty unbelieveably to believe.

emergingstar

Have to say I won't miss EFB

He seemed to be posting for the sake of posting you would go through pages without anything been actually talked about

Good luck and all that

Was that really necessary?
Feel better now?

The irony of someone posting about a "poster for the sake of posting" is strong.

:rolleyes:

Dozen Wicked Words

Mod-lite. Let's not get into arguing over a poster who's gone, he is not able to defend himself and enough has been said now. He could well be back anyway.

Yep it was he bugged me so I gave an opinion

Feel a lot better now

Thanks for asking though

Why did he leave?
Thought he gave as good as he got even if his two or three word posts were annoying at times. Maybe he has troubles on other threads?

I wouldn't think it's anything to do with the Arsenal thread. Got to be other threads.

I think he got a lot of grief discussing the France thing.

Regardless, after reading his tweets on Twitter, I'm pretty disappointed with his attitude towards this thread. I sure didn't see any homophobic slurs, and he seemed to be the one bringing sexual orientation into everything.

In any case, I hope he sorts himself out and comes back. He kept the thread alive, if nothing else :pac:

Do you reckon he left over abuse in this thread?

I'd hazard a guess a number of threads contributed to his decision.
But that's neither here nor there.
Just seen Dozen's post, perhaps best to park this conversation.

Lord TSC

Lads, as mentioned earlier, since the poster is not able to defend himself (and since its off topic to the thread), move on from the conversation please.

jonneymendoza

dont know if it was discussed here but i was shocked about the paris incidents happening around the france game.

Was any of our arsenal players playing at the time?

i heard Diahara(ex arsenal player) cousin was one of the people that sadly got effected by the incidentds

Giroud was playing at the time.

God I hate international breaks. Does anyone think we'll sign anyone In January? Who would we like to see In an Arsenal jersey?

Well due to the injuries it couldnt have come at a better time for Arsenal.

I am a little concerned about the January transfer window. If rumours are to be believed (yes yes I know) then United and Chelsea are both going to be spending big.
Of course it might never happen but I would prefer if there was no transfer window as I cant see us spending very much.

Totally agree.
We are always reluctant to buy in Jan (and summer too) as Wenger thinks that the value is not there and players are over-priced then. He won't spend over the top on players anyway and is probably right.

Kos also played in the game.

Ken Shamrock

So another window will go by where we will not strengthen or attempt to, but our rivals will?
