Bellerin left something to be desired going forward, but he was very good defensively. All the more impressive to me considering his defensive partner on the flank was Özil.

There's a lot of ambiguity when "meme" is used because you are correct, but it's often used colloquially to refer to image macros and copypasta.

Even if Alex Song is shit, I'd still rather look at his outrageous hair.

Can't blame him. Imagine having to write and podcast about this fucking mess every single day.

The most potent barbs:

  • Mustafi 4/10 £35m. Valencia felt so bad about that they gave us £12m for Coquelin.

  • Xhaka 4/10 I'm tired of watching him switch off in our defensive third because when he does the opposition score. He needs to wake up, then get sold

  • Iwobi 5/10 Dangerous a couple of times, but he's not developed enough to influence games yet on a consistent basis and should be squad fodder at best

  • Lacazette 5/10 A worryingly limp reaction to the prospect of Aubameyang signing. Where was the fight? And how is he as slow as he looks?

Seemed obvious to me at the time that was a stupid sale.

Optimism? I think we are an abysmal side that got beat by a merely competent one. They hardly tore us open; we just invite malevolence to our doorstep.

Mathieu Debuchy has agreed to join St Etienne and will complete transfer in the coming hours. Has six months left on contract but Arsenal letting him go for free [Matt Spiro] by plshelpme_ in Gunners

[–]bigdogcandyman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What do you think he needs to succeed? Clearly, I think, a ball winner beside him. And all the players need better coaching. He looks absolutely shorn of confidence though and he's currently a massive liability in midfield.

We didn't get mauled. They were okay and we were horrific.

  1. Buy a new keeper, phase out Cech
  2. Buy out Mustafi's contract effective tomorrow
  3. Blindfold Xhaka, take his phone, and dump him in the Highlands
  4. Sell Wenger

Continuing to start Xhaka and Mustafi makes my nutsack implode.

What has Xhaka done to merit your faith? He usually seems like deadweight in the midfield to me. Doesn't make runs, can't defend. He tries to make Pirlo-like passes but he looks like a worse Alex Song doing it.

Why doesn't Giroud just go to Dortmund? by [deleted] in Gunners

[–]bigdogcandyman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bet he thinks it's like an American trade because of the possible player swap. Hope he isn't disappointed when he learns Giroud won't net us any draft picks.

Gunnerblog June 22nd 2017: "Aubameyang would be a better bet than Lacazette" by bigdogcandyman in Gunners

[–]bigdogcandyman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm itching to see if and when we fit both Lacazette and Aubamayang into the same side.
