The Fixture list
There’s Premier League action, schools hurling and U21 football, two women’s Six Nations games and the small matter of the final round of games in the men’s championship. We’ll have full coverage of it all.
Showbiz, Baby
Jamie Carragher and Paul Ince called in for a cuppa yesterday before they got down to the serious business of picking their favourite Manchester United-Liverpool combined XI.
I just nodded and smiled and pretended I knew what he was talking about.
Wenger says he hasn’t lost players, sounds like an Egyptian swimmer to me………in denial.
The delusion is amazing at this point.
Lol
I mean it’s not completely his fault the players are shite to be fair
@Conall Ó Briain: he bought the shite players . So yes it is completely his fault
@Shane Murphy: I wouldn’t say they’re shite players they are just playing shite. Sanchez and Ozil can be great
@Conall Ó Briain: Sanchez can, Ozil is a waster.
@David: Ozil is always the scapegoa for Arsenal. Goal and assist last week for him. Sanchez can be absent just as much as Ozil from games when he’s needed. The squad as a whole don’t have the fight in them
@David: scapegoat*
Sympathy and tactical advice from Big Sam.. thts a portent tht AWs time is done!
I could agree with you Arsene, but then we’d both be wrong.
Little Bo Peep , oh sorry they were sheep !!! Ferguson 8-2 , Jose 6-0 on 1000 match in charge , pep 5-1 in Allianz, Ancoletti 10-2 on aggregate , pulis 3-1 , fat sam 3-0 ,,koeman 4-0 pochetinno is sharpening his knife , 4 points from last 8 away games,how much humiliation can a manager and a club take
@ger gavin: That’s embarrassing, you’ve gone back quite a few years there to make an example. Most teams get a beating like that every now and again, not just Arsenal.
@ger gavin: up to date version: BAYERN 10-2 LIVERPOOL 3-1 WEST BROM 3-1
@Ollie Watson: i had the Pulis 3-1 , forgot the liverpool 5-1
@ger gavin: says the sad spud whose team last won a Title back when there wasn’t even colour photographs…1961…and who last won an FA Cup in 1991. Wenger has won 3 Premier Titles Spuds zero nil zilch nada…now get back in yr box spud.
Wonder who gets the chop first. Wenger or mourinho. Please God it’s the latter.
@BoomBoomBonnie: you hopefully!
@BoomBoomBonnie: of course you hope it Jose as your running scared of what he WILL achieve!!!
@BoomBoomBonnie: but your a Liverpool fan like me
@Mark Nugent: i hate choose. Tra la la la la
@Hoof Hearted: hahahhahahah tks for that
If Wenger had an ounce of sense he’d announce he’s leaving at the end of the season right now, that way he might actually get the team motivated again and his achievements would be lauded in the media.
Instead he’s going to go out in ridicule with a team and fans that are sick to death of him.
