Good morning and welcome to Friday. Gateway to the weekend, springboard to Sunday.

Can I shock you? I quite enjoyed that business last night. It was actually alright. What was evident was that someone had had a word with Arry about his dismissive Europa comments, his team selection, punters leaving in droves at previous games and the club’s responsibility to sponsors, specifically Investec. 

So what we got wasn’t all that difficult to rustle up was it Mr Redschnapps? A half decent selection and so a half decent game. A few empty seats but I think those who were toying with attending and decided not to would probably now say they wish they had gone.

6. 853 Made a slight jiggins of the free kick and against opposition at this level that must be a concern. But otherwise looked like a Premiership goalie.

 

6.001 Harsh to say an unconvincing display? Probably not. Again, confident going forward but in our 18 yard box you can hear the cogs turning and they aren’t exactly whizzing around.

7.401 An assured display as they say in football journalist speak. He moved the ball about well and generally looked the part. Triffic.

 

5.803 My view of him hasn’t changed. I think he tries very hard and frequently delivers his best; he’s solid enough squad player. That is all for now…

7.932 I like him. He’s made of the right stuff. A proper player for for a proper team and I hope he gets through, he makes it and stops with us for the long term.

6.066 Just back from injury and as per usual in these instances with him it was all a bit new and as bit of shock to the system. Let’s hope he’s blown a few cobwebs away anyway. 

7.000 I lacks a certain something at this stage and I don’t want to condemn him to soon it would be deeply unfair. Like to see him seize the reins a bit more. Sure he’s got it in him.

7. 012 What he needs is good diet of chicken wings and imported beers. Or maybe he wants more of a career and less to look like he hangs out with me a lot. Early doors but certainly one to watch.

8.456  “Come on Arry, gimme a break!” says Gio,  “One break, coming up!” replies Redschnapps. See what I did there? I swapped Ted Templeman & David Lee Roth for Dos Santos & Arry. The boy is good, let’s start again, eh?

 

7.001 Ooh you… I’m becoming increasingly convinced he will not survive with us. There is a great striker in there. “If it’s in you, I can get it out” David Brent.

8.143 A flippin’ good showing. As fit and game as a butcher’s dog. Looking forward to him and Ade tearing Arsenal a fresh one on Sunday. 

6.546 What I like about him is whenever he gets the bloody thing he immediately looks to run at them, whoever they are. A dash of daring do about this young man. More please.

    What’s an avatar ? – that looks like a fruit pastille to me

    How much nicer to play these youngsters who are grateful for the chance than the likes of Begbie and Crouch. Liking this streamlined squad and wish Gio all the best in his most recent attempt at climbing back onto the wagon. If Defoe’s resurgence is genuine and consistent what say we bring in the 70-year-old fitness Guru to train the rest of the lads?

    Loved Gio’s work rate and classy touches and movement. I was surprised to see him in the 25 man squad at the start of the season and thought to myself ‘they’re either putting him in so they can put him on show a couple of times and seel him in Jan or they have had a word and are now prepared to give him a shot at first team action.’
    I hope it is the latter as he really seemed to go for it last night and looked like he is fighting for a place.
    Good stuff mate, keep it up.

    I enjoyed last night match.
    Yesterday I called Pav, GDS and Gomes quitters because I have heard they want to leave due to new signings and not getting enough game time. Plus in the previous matches they weren’t showing much entusiasm whilst playing, except Gomes who seemed to suffer an attack of nerves during the Hearts game.
    It was nice to see GDS step up and show us what he can do for Mexico, he can also do for us. And for Pav to get a goal which hopefully will build his confidence up. I hope Gomes can get his confidence back too as when he is on song, he’s the best we have got and better than most goalkeppers out there.
    I still do believe that these three still have got what it takes to do well at Spurs and get us back in the Champions League.
    Bring on the gooners COYS.
