AFC - Comments

Finally watched the last five episodes of Lost three years after watching the 12th episode of season 6. I cried twice when Sun and Jin remembered and when Charlie and Claire remembered. The actual ending answer thing was convoluted and barely satisfying but I'm glad I finished it. Was worth it in the end, season six was pretty good.

About seven episodes into Spartacus at the moment and I'm loving it. It's a bit trashy, but it's very entertaining and engrossing.

All these Arsenal fans saying they can afford Rooney, since when?

The board say every year that Arsenal have lots of money to spend and they never do, I don't see why this year is any different.

Just onto the last episode. There's a ton of superlativew I could use to describe this show. Can not recommend it high enough.

Everyone hates Wilshere?

Remember this is the club that pay Theo Walcott £100k p/w.

I don't want us to sign Rooney and I don't think we will either.

Bitter much.

Fucking hell man. This myth about us being happy with 4th place is complete horseshit. Kroenke might only care about that, but the fans, players and Wenger all want to compete for trophies. Finishing fourth is the very minimum we should expect, but given the fact that we've clawed ourselves back into the top four after a pretty awful season - and beating Spurs in the process - is a cause for a celebration. It's not pathetic, it's just acceptance of where we've been this season and being pleased with doing what we realistically could achieve.

Yes Champions League football will really help Arsenal push on 16 seasons. imo they totally over-celebrated a season of treading water.

At least Newcastle didn't unveil the 'finished above Sunderland trophy'

As the title says.

For Arsenal;

Szczesny's been a bit erratic at times this season but Mannone wasn't much better when he did play and Fabianski only had a handful of games, albeit a few impressive ones. Sagna's had his worst season in an Arsenal shirt and Jenkinson's improved massively, so he gets the nod at right-back. Vermaelen's been pretty poor as well and Koscielny and Mertesacker have comfortably been our best two centre-halves this season and they work really well together. The midfield pretty much picks itself, seeing as Gervinho is just too frustrating a player to warrant inclusion and Oxlade-Chamberlain has barely featured. Ramsey has gotten better as the season has gone on but didn't have the best of times earlier in the year. The front four have all chipped in with a good number of goals to account for van Persie's departure.
