FWIW some gooners who seem to know things think Walcott has agreed a contract with Chelsea. Doesn't mean he's going to sign there, but a contract has been agreed. Would imagine this pretty much rules us out of contention.

Lucas looks like he's having a stroke.

Allen also has testicular fortitude.

Eye of the tiger.

Well shoot me in the face cause the first thing I thought was:

Shelvey will start up to. Sterling will get brutalised by that defence.

The counter argument is that we're paying to tie down the future of one of the brightest talents in english football, and the wage is offset against the cost of buying someone of his quality in 2 years time.

Weidenfeller is also a fantastic keeper.

Dunno if anyone noticed this:

There was a point in the game, when Southampton were really pressing us, someone sent a bad pass back to Agger and Agger reached and stretched and just connected with the ball to send it back to Pepe. Pepe took the ball and we kept possession and got it back up the field. At that moment as the ball was rolling backwards where everyone shat themselves, thinking the ball was going to get turned over in the box. But it didn't. That seemed like a pivotal point, in the game, and (hopefully) in the development of the Rodgers way. That the team started to believe that the system could work. Maybe I'm overanalysing, but it's that moment, more than any other that's stuck with me since the game.

"Come and get me plea" Lallana would be a good buy.

Lucas Enrique Agger

Now that I've discovered that he's the english messi, I'm sold on him.

It's weird that we started the season with a dearth of fullbacks, and now we only seem to have 2.

This is the situation in a nutshell.

You went from Weltanschauung to a****** in 8 words. Impressive.

Yep. In particular he and Shelvey should never play together as part of a three, let alone a two.

Sahin Shelvey Suso

He's great in FM. Also in real life.

Think of the children!

The last episodes seem to be making an effort to paint Carroll as a bit of a knob. There were quite a few cuts to him looking insolent or gormless. This may be an accurate representation of him.

Not enough det for my liking.

It's crazy but it might just work.
