Arsenal have a history of paying "top dollar" for "stars" to sit on the bench.
Mezut Ozil just left for Fenerbahce carrying a big full sack and wearing a mask/striped jumper a la Dennis The Menace.
No..not for me despite supporting club since 60/61. Can't see any progression beyond tonight unfortunately.
It'll be interesting to see how Brendon and Graham approach team selection and squad rotation etc
I had a feeling some while ago that this situation would develop as it has. Maty Ryan is a good shot stopper and distributor of the ball but his weakness was on defending crosses into the eighteen yard box. He always gave me heart palpitations when the opposition attacked.m
When I was in SF I had the choice of seeing the Rolling Stones at Candlestick Park or going to the Colisseum in Oakland to watch the then Superbowl winners Raiders play the Tampa Bay Bucanneers. I went to watch the first US football game live for me. Would have been 1981 I think.
After the performance against South Africa you'd expect them to come out all guns blazing. After the initial England possession for first 5 minutes it was all France and they deservedly went in 17-0 up.
Came back well in second half but it was too much to ask to overturn that lead.
