Huge blow to Arsenal I think. Granted we were top of the league without him, but he's still our best finisher, he's also the best at off the ball movement and generally adds a completely different dimension to our attack. I thought he and Ozil were going to form a deadly pair. I really felt bad for the rest of the day after reading this.

Not necessarily, I think you might see a lot of first teamers, because the game is sandwiched between two not so big games in the league.
Do you think the injury affects your title chances?

As for the Cov game, noticed you play Saints away afterwards, that's not an easy one on paper.

I think it potentially could, because I think Giroud is not a potent goal scorer, so players like Ramsey and Walcott are very important because they are the main goal getters at Arsenal. Now the need for a proper striker has become even more vital, I seriously don't believe we stand enough of a chance without signing someone who can score goals.

Saints really are not what they were at the start of the season, they've been on steady decline for a while now. Though its always challenging playing at St. Mary's, however not enough for Wenger to rest the entire first team. I think you'll see some young players alongside some first teamers, but its still way too early to predict.

Keeping an eye on Cardiff a little bit now because of Solskjær. I hope they stay up.

The interest in Norway for Cardiff is really booming right now, lots of people signing up for the Cardiff supporters club and shit like that :D I'm not taking it that far, though, hell no. I will never be a fan of any other team than Juventus. But yeah, he is well liked over here. You saw nothing like this with Ståle Solbakken, people couldn't care less who he managed. But everyone loves Solskjær.

Man United are obviously struggling and we're definitely seeing a case of "oh how the mighty have fallen" here, but what I find funny is that Liverpool is made out to be this well-run club 'on the up'. Man United receive all the stick but only 5 points separate the two teams in the table.

yeah, i think he got a bit carried away with the old guard carrying the team so well.

moyes appointment was his idea as well no? although moyes can't do much when the team as a whole is not clicking as it should be

"He scored three today"

Wish we signed him, etc...
Be good news for Juve if Negredo keeps banging the goals in and Llorente gets the summer off.

Liverpool are on the up by their own standards the past several seasons though, there's been a marked improvement. Not league-winning capabilities, but no one expected that (unless they're delusional). While United have been underwhelming at best for a club that just had an extremely successful era.

Moyes was left with a squad, where the squad consists of inexperienced raw talents, and players beyond their best days.

Only Rooney and RVP are in their prime, and apparently Fergie promised RVP that he would remain manager for another 3 years, when he signed the Dutchman.
So he's pretty pissed off about that.

I can sense from you that you really want to be a Cardiff fanboy too like all your friends.
