Mertesacker is shit, not good enough for us at all in my opinion. Too slow and immobile for the premiership. His early season performances weren't even that good, only Man City away springs to mind where I thought he had a noticeably good game.

He gets caught out of position a lot, keeps ruining the offside trap when the rest of the defence pushes up. Strikers from every team can get past him so easy as well.

Also, he's shit at set pieces (attacking and defending) which he really shouldn't be due to his height, don't think I've ever see him get his head on the ball despite the fact we aim every corner to him at the near post.

I think the champions league match that was fixed was when we played Barca at the nou camp.

I'll bet my life on this match being one that was fixed, I'm still bitter about it. Just watch the video, united got away with so much that day it was ridiculous.

Arsenal home kits should be red and white, nothing else. Away kits yellow and blue.

Ahh shit yeah, good spot, don't I look the wally.


We live and learn bro, we live and learn.

In all honestly spelling college as collage is infuriating, always see the odd person on fb/twitter do it. Hope for Sears sake that my theory was correct

Sears, I also suffer many of the concentration problems previously mentioned so I don't have much advice I can give you about that.

What I can tell you though is that the place you go to learn is spelt 'college' not 'collage', that's something quite different.


Don't mean to be patronizing but maybe meant to say collage? Maybe his brother returned from a year out and is now part of an actual human collage somewhere? Yeah, that's it.

Read an interview a year or 2 ago where he said he supported both West Ham and Arsenal as a kid before he started playing for us. Probably liked West Ham more until he joined AFC when he was about 9 as I think his old mans a hammer.

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.


Most expensive by about £2, but yeah something needs to be done to cap the prices of tickets, or at the very least away ticket prices. No away fans in a ground means a very shit atmosphere (which would stop some home fans going). Emirates is bad enough as it is but I dread the day no away fans turn up, would be awful.

Away days are expensive enough with travel so ridiculous ticket prices make them even less attractive.

That linesman who told J-Lo to go over to the fans has been dropped for his next game because of it apparently. Ridiculous


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.

Good signing for Spurs, great player but there are other areas we need to strengthen so not too disappointed we missed out.

Carols, with a touch of Arsenal added



Was half expecting them to break into a rendition of She Said No Robin.

Just watched a French film called Untouchable/Intouchables. It's the first time I've ever watched a film in another language, always been put off by them but glad I watched it. Great film.



Any recommendations for must-watch films in other languages?

Know I've forgotten loads, might dig out all my old Match magazine annuals I used to get every year for xmas. I used to love reading those and they always had the top 50 players in the world feature and a page/pitch to make a favourite players team, would be good to look back.

Not related to photography but I think the design of your portfolio can be heavily improved. The fact that you have to hover over a big pink square to get a glimpse of each design is a bit of a put off.

When potential clients or anyone for that matter are looking at portfolio's they are only there to see you're work and you should make it as easy as possible to do that.

Simple suggestion would be to swap it so that all of the design thumbnails are visible but when you hover over them they turn pink (at lowish opacity) so you can still kind of make out the image (see the images here for example http://www.aidtheboss.com/).

Feel free to take this with a pinch of salt, I just think it would make the site look a lot better and I know for a fact that it would reduce the high bounce rate.

Anyway, photography related, love all the photos you've taken especially the one you got framed

Why do I always see people saying they can't/couldn't be "asked" rather than arsed? Is that just a bunch of cunts spelling it wrong after hearing it in real life or is replacing arsed with asked an actual phrase? Up there in things that annoy me the most.

Never heard of him.


I read somewhere yesterday that he's scored 25 goals in his last 50 games from centre back

Bored of this now, Hijacked is the worst map by far. Every single game I come up against a bunch of cunts who just camp in the spawn on the balconies etc and you literally have no chance. I just played a game of demolition where I spawned and got sniped before I had the chance to move 4 times in a row, ridiculous.

Chelsea fucked me out of £56. Got 9 right on a 10-team accumulator.


10 team accumulator returning only £56? Surely a typo

I wouldn't be terribly against it, but the fact is that if he goes he won't be adequately replaced, If the money is right, let the man walk.


Would be happy to see Jenkinson replace him. It's not like we would be able to get someone better than Sagna (as he's one of the best). CJ25's is a decent young english player and gives a shit about Arsenal.

I wouldn't want Nani anyway.


Always hated him since he started giving it the barry mcguigan when united were smashing us a few seasons ago. He is good though, I would just prefer we used anything that was going to go towards that to pay Walcott more.
