Just before anyone thinks there was someone unlawfully killed. There wasn't. No knives, guns or arrows used at all.
It's just an expression.:pac:
We need to lighten things up a bit here.

Last night the DJ saved my life, I was almost murdered on the dance floor by a smooth criminal!

If you had to pick one to leave Ox or Walcott?

It's 50/50 for me.

Walcott 100%

Ox.

As much as I think theo is a fraud hes worth us a few points a season. Ox could be replaced by 2 or 3 players currently at the club. Theo would be an option for impact sub late in games. I don't want to see him neat the first 11.

You know it's bad when I'm picking theo.

tayto lover

I'd let Walcott go.
Ox could fill a good many positions and is far more courageous. Walcott is afraid of his life.

Outside the first 11 we're talking yeah?

Who would you rather see coming on when 1-0 down?

Giroud

I wouldn't have much faith in either Ox or Theo.

Welbeck:D:D
id still rather The Ox,but not on the wing.
AOC is still young enough to be positively influenced by a new manager,Theo I feel is beyond saving.

Agreed!

At the beginning of the season I would have said let the Ox go. Terrible goal scoring record and always flatters to decieve but now I think he deserves a real chance to prove himself in centre mid. He's shown quite a lot of promise there recently.

Walcott is worth his squad place as he has great pace and does score his fair share of goals.

I'd keep both, perhaps I'm all that's wrong with Arsenal at the moment.

Think a lot of our players play at about 60% of their ability for much of the season because noone gives em any hassle for it.

Thats it for me too which is why I would love a 25 year old Tony Adams there. He would sort the slackers out in the dressing room.

This ****e of having club captains who barely play a game is a loada nonsense. Give the armband to a regular starter and let him assert himself on the team instead of switching it around every couple of games while Mert/Arteta./Vermaelen watches from the dugout.

Kos should be captain. He is by far and away our most solid player

I like Kos and he is easily our best defender, but he doesn't strike me as captain material or a natural leader. He is too quiet I think too. I don't actually know who I would give the captaincy to though, doesn't seem like there is an obvious choice to me.

Not often I agree with Joe.co.uk

He very much is though I find myself watching him at games, he leads by example not shouting. He gets stuck in and puts his body on the line for the team. He brings the best out in his centre back partner and saves the midfield's ass a lot in games.

Kos is the Boss

Most consistent aye.

Would love to see him f**k a few lads out of it every now and again though. He's too quiet. Mind you he would be better than having our captain sitting in the stands. Another mind boggling decision.

And what if he had got a bad injury needlessly?

domrush

Kos can seem a bit timid but I think he would have grown into the role very quickly if he'd have been given it after Vermalen lost form at the end of 2013.

Wilshere would have been a great captain if he wasn't so injury prone. Smart, plays in the centre of the pitch, would have been a regular starter and not afraid of confrontation. Hopefully its not too late for him.

Arsene has been an excellent custodian of our club.
He oozes class and I wish whoever takes over next will know what's expected at Arsenal FC.

There's a pic of Walcott coming out the tunnel at the start and the little mascot had one.
I noticed when the captain's shook hands Theo hadn't one to give??

Speaking of Wilshere, was there any update after his recent ankle injury?

Then sit back and wait for the curse of the Arsenal captain to strike......

They were given a silver cannon instead of a pennant.

Didn't Arsenal get rid of Pennant years ago...

Albert_Camus

I was actually thinking when he was bringing Sanchez on, was it to make a big night of it for everyone. Gas if true.

tayto lover

Great endeavour in the City v Monaco game on TV 3.
Very enjoyable match.

Some occasions call for class and it can't be knocked. There stadium was full of kids and they'll remember that for years, I thought at the time it was a touch of class in a sport that completely lacks it

Should have played Ozil too then.

He doesn't carry the same appeal to the kids, Sanchez is Global!

Should have played Ozil instead...
What did he do to earn a few extra days off,went missing again in a big match,seems to be a trait of his.

Here's another either/or....
Ozil or Sanchez if we lose 1 which would everyone prefer to leave.
Ozil for me,goes missing in too many games for my liking and I don't think we have the quality around him to carry him through games he doesn't turn up for.

Just a quick edit...Ozil is one of my fave players btw.

Id be the same - but I imagine it will be the opposite that occurs. Ozil stays - Sanchez leaves

I'd hope both stay but can't see it happening,your scenario seems most likely.


Great game of ball at the Etihad right now.

Arsenal tv. It's disrespectful probably racist and ****ing insulting if you support Arsenal. I know him. It's the language of the inner city. I don't use it. None of my Irish friends use it. But locals use it. And they are true Arsenal fans. So when I see people on here slagging the language off, to me it it is racist. These lads are from inner city London. 2 of the most deprived boroughs in uk. And people slag the blue and fam off. Embarrassing. Those lads are Arsenal through and through. Not posh but are any of us?

I met Claude in Munich and he was dead sound. He is great at promoting theGay Gooners and as an internet tv station he ticks all the right boxes

He goes for click bait sound bytes though and he can be called on that
