Olssons pen was horrible.

Injured  

Still can't believe we won that match.

Oh Prof, you're not those of those hashtag ümlautwankers are you?

Always thought you and the Arsenal fans on here were a class above. Alas, it's like an infection, and it's taken one of you down. Very upsetting news

Chuba Akpom is going to be a beast. 17. Already 6 ft. Pacy, athletic, strong (black). And with decent technique too. The English Benteke(/Heskey - we'll find out)

I've said it before, but he's far and away my favourite player in our reserves (we don't have many quality ones bar him, Gnabry, Bellerin and Zelalem anyway). You've already stated his attributes but he is very good technically. He already leads the line for England U19s. Last season for the U21s and in the NextGen series, he got 17 goals in 20 games. He also got 4 in pre-season. Lots of positives in his game - that's why I was frustrated when we went and got Sanogo Hope Akpom makes it.

The fact Frimpong wasn't even in the squad last night says a lot. Used to find him funny and passionate but now he just does my head in. He'll be off soon enough, seems more interested in being a Z list celebrity. Olsson and Eisfeld are a bit meh, may have decent careers but not at Arsenal.

Frimpong - the black urban David May So Dench that he can't make the bench!

@ Debbie & Glenn

Maybe I didn't articulate my point clearly, I wasn't attempting to lord it over Villa in any way.

Basically Villa and Spurs were on a similar level financially from 2007-10 in terms of transfer Spend and wages but the difference was thanks to the DISGRACE Villa were left with a lot of players who they couldn't move on, which kind of wiped out the good fees that you got for Downing, Young, Barry & Milner. Add to that a balloning wage bill and it's little wonder you had to scale back.

yep very true. some of the signings DISGRACE made really fucked us over (and that continued upto McLeish with likes of Hutton & Given now draining wages in reserves). Only since Lambert's come in that we've started much more sensible long-term approach which will hopefully pay off in the next few years.

From what I've seen of the two, Akpom looks way ahead of Sanogo in his development. Sanogo has looked painfully off the pace in the limited amount of times i've seen him play for Arsenal, not to mention him being three years older.

Bellerin did well in central midfield. Guess it's pretty unsurprising that he is excellent technically. Don't know how good he is physically mind?

Interesting that Jenkinson and Ramsey have turned into such beasts in that respect.

Is it just me or does Kevin try to turn every thread into a Chuba Akpom vs Yaya Sanogo comparison?

I was impressed by Bellerin - he looked lively, but he came on in extra time so you'd expect him to be fresher.

Well of my 7 weekly posts, at least 3 of them are about Chuba Akpom, or a different excitingly named striker.

But i'm sure you've got some hard facts and figures to put me in my place.

I've got something hard to put in you alright

@henrywinter: #cfc: Schwarzer; Azpilicueta, Cahill, David Luiz, Bertrand; Essien, Mikel; De Bruyne, Mata, Willian; Eto’o

@henrywinter: #afc: Fabianski; Jenkinson, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Monreal; Ramsey, Wilshere; Rosicky, Cazorla, Miyaichi; Bendtner.

Wengers kids! Oh wait...

Don't get why Ramsey is playing

Ugh, I just spent 30 minutes looking for a stream for the West Ham match, then realized that the time difference now is only 4 hours.

Birmingham 0-1 Stoke

Jadnan Anusjizz with another assist. This kid could be the new Andros Townsend.

Wow what a goal by Azpicueletalaleale

Jenkinson  

Almost a copy of Hart-Nastatic shambles on Sunday with the same result. Give Sagna another contract for Chrissakes  

Jenkinson has a Nastasic moment.

And Carlton Cole has injured his knee.

Birmingham 1-1

Leicester 1-1 Fulham

Bentdner is a complete waste of time; if he scores I'll eat my trousers.

Leicester 2-1 Fulham

I wonder what Puro's Line Dancing videos think of Bendtner

Ugh, Joe Cole hits a overhead kick into the net but its ruled offside.

another trophyless year for Arsenal

too late Arsene. Giroud and Ozil should have been on 10 minutes ago.

What is the point in bringing Giroud on now?  

Burnley 0-1 West Ham Taylor Pen.
