*Official* English Football Season 2011-12

Ha, **** me. Depressing stat of the day. Today is the first time two English players have scored for the Arse in one game since 1997!

Always liked Crouch. Love that the guy is 6'11 (or something) and better with the ball at his feet. It's like watching a giraffe do the salsa.

BARNES OUT
tbf to us, none of the top 5 sides have taken full points from the Britannia this season and it took a one in a million goal to even get Stoke on the sheet.

I reckon he's completely gash and it's a travesty for English football that he's even close to being in the national team.


Handy goal though yesterday. :)

He's pretty good, definitely worth a place in the squad.

I wonder if they'll bring anyone from Swansea.

Reckon we'll draw with City when we play them but the way Chelsea are going we can beat them. Our tragic start to the season is really hurting us, take the first 7 games away and we're in the middle of a title race. Think after making so many changes in the summer the team has finally gelled a little and the results now show what we're capable of.

Lol at the Liverpool fans I spoke to earlier this season lording it over us though. They only turn up in big games and even then they can't finish teams off.

Speaking of Liverpool fans, you're sounding like one there. :p

Pretty annoying that Motty left out the information that would actually make that stat interesting though (i.e. who the scorers were).

Would hazard a guess at it being Wright and Merson.

Yeah, I was thinking this. Having a settled back four for the last couple of weeks has improved things a lot, and the rest of the team really does seem to be coming together. Not sure if it would have been good enough to challenge for the title, but there are encouraging signs there.

Really, I didn't play the victim card and I'm not saying next year's gonna be our year?

On another note I think Rvp will stay but we really need to do something in the transfer market to keep him and Jack happy. Incredible to think we've played the whole season without our most talented midfielder as well.

Was Merson still at Highbury in 1997? Other candidates are Parlour & Adams. The rest of the back four was English in those days, wasn't it? Not that Dixon, Bould or Winterburn scored many.


EDIT
Here we are - Wright, Parlour and Platt actually. tbh I'd completely forgotten that Platt played for Arsenal at all.

Well our 8th game saw the return of Koscielny which gave us at least one centre half and allowed us to put Song back in midfield. Since then we're level on points with both Manchester clubs. It's not ludicrous to suggest, had we not been missing an entire back four for the first month and a half and Wenger had made signings a bit earlier, we'd be right up there.

It's also not ludicrous to suggest that if you don't post the sheep results soon I'm gonna travel to Cardiff and rip your tonsils out. WAC.

Never mind that, that stupid 3 game run we went on in January killed us.
