It's a joke that he's not taking the corners, but with Podolski and Oxlade-Chamberlain out we've been forced to shove him out on the wing. It was either that or sticking Ramsey there.

It's ridiculous. He's one of the best players in the league (and probably your best player) and he's been relegated to an after-thought.

As for Cazorla, for me its simply because Wilshere is back and he seems to be given complete control over everything, fuck knows why.

Also ridiculous, Wilshere's a good player and he's going to get better, but between the fact Cazorla is better and Wilshere has been out for more than 12 months, Cazorla should not be stuck out on the wing (and stuck behind Walcott when it comes to set-pieces).

Why is Santi Cazorla not the at the centre of everything Arsenal do? He's not even taking the set-pieces.

He'd get into the majority of the teams in the Premier League so I'd say he's pretty decent at his job.

Also - Newcastle agreed a fee with Montpellier of around €8m tonight for that centre back with the ridiculous name according to the Twittersphere.

Wasn't Pochettino sacked from Espanyol earlier in the season because they were fucking awful?

I hope they go down now, Adkins was doing a decent job.

Yeah but to be fair, it wasn't entirely his fault. He had no money and they keep selling their best players.

In other news Lucas Piazon has apparently joined Malaga on loan for the rest of the season. Which there has been talk that it could be part of a deal for Malaga's Isco, who Chelsea are apparently interested in. How true the second part of that is, is still to be seen.

He's got a £17.5m release clause, so there's no real need to try and win Malaga over with loans.

He's out of contract at the end of the season. Apparently, he doesn't even have to train any more.

Makes you wonder whether he had that in the back of his mind all game and was influencing some of his decisions.

What annoys me is that the media are ignoring the fact that Arsenal fans get ripped off everywhere. £62 was the CHEAPEST ticket for us on Sunday against City, and we also get ripped off on our travels. Norwich charged us £60, fucking Norwich.

Also, Arsenal fans had to pay £59 when we went to City earlier in the season (£3 difference) so don't know why some City fans are targeting us. It's clearly a problem with all clubs taking the piss.

They were targeting Arsenal because Arsenal happened to be charging for the most expensive away ticket of the season so far. I haven't seen or heard anybody say Arsenal are the only club doing this. It shouldn't be a club v. club issue.

Sources in Norway claim Molde have accepted a £4 million offer for Vegard Forren from Liverpool, with the player set to undergo a medical at Melwood tomorrow. Should be trustworthy.

According to Tony Barrett from The Times (and Dominic King from the Mail) he's actually just training with them/on trial.

It's basically a short trial at #LFC for Forren but another Premier League club are at a more advanced stage in negotiations with Molde.
