How on earth has dreadful rarely played Welbeck managed to worm his way back in the England squad?  Wouldn’t get in Watford’s match day squad.  Such a below par player.

I call. I’d love to see some pace upfront for the orns. Deeney/Okaka/Gray too similar and too slow.

On relflection all three of those options are weak.  That said the likes of Welbeck and Iwobi lurking in the Arsenal squad is the reason there is no longer a big 6 imo.

Seems fair. Wellbeck has shown some promise but is not a top 6 striker. That being said, with all the money Arsenal spent on strikers they had to rely on Wellbeck to save them last night!

An interesting take on St Patrick's Day from Irishman Andrew Mangan aka Arseblog - it made me laugh anyway.

This is exactly my memory of being a (regular attending fan) in the late 70s and well into the 80s. Walk up as stand on the North Bank..Was glorious. The new stadium is better of course in so many aspects but nothing like the fun or anywhere near as evocative. Great pic

Indeed, very good.
It's good to read that players are just human beings at the end of the day with the same doubts and frailities we all have.

That's how I remember it - I'm not sure when they added the boxes in the other picture - probably when I was in Canada during the 1970's.

Thought it must be a heck of a long time since Arsenal last lost four away league games on the trot, turns out it is 12 months.

Yeah - precisely zero points won away from home so far in 2018 is not exactly a haul to be proud of.
