I have a feeling the French Cup will have a similar scoreline.

Time for bed said Zebedee.

Bully was on fine form!

And the best quote of the week:

But it was a football match of good sportsmanship and some style - with the monopoly on style enjoyed by an Arsenal team as bent on painting pictures as puncturing defences.

Wembley was Mesut Ozil’s canvas.

Pummelling Ozil for his work-rate is the equivalent of hammering Picasso for forgetting to whitewash the garden wall.

He was simply dreamy. He doesn’t kick the ball, he whispers in its ear. Liquid genius.

Bit OTT but nearer the mark than the wind up assessments that our noisy neighbours spew up at regular intervals.

"What do you think of the FA?".

Seriously, he did exactly the same thing last year but the press had something else to bang on about.

Just a bit of banter with the fans.

FA Tossers.

Jack Wilshere has threatened to face the wrath from Spurs fans once again after it was revealed that Ryan’s Mason knee injury – which forced him to withdraw from the England squad – was caused by him.

That's good for him. Gets a longer summer break.

It seems part of the Vermaelen deal was an extra 3m quid if Barca won the Cl, which they did.

Not bad considering the only football he managed in the entire season was a part of the very last league match!

Was that his bloke writing about him? Either way, what a dreadful piece of, well, i hesitate to say journalism. very Mark Lawrenson actually.

How about, "there he was, skipping nervously along the wing, like a Morris dancer with the trots. Bit more like it.

And that's precisely why you're playing football on a Thursday when no-one can be arsed to watch.

(Except those of us in the sandpit who have a Fri/Sat weekend).

It seems part of the Vermaelen deal was an extra 3m quid if Barca won the Cl, which they did.

Not bad considering the only football he managed in the entire season was a part of the very last league match!

Sorry Chiqs

The Gunners have been denied a £2.9m bonus payment from Champions League winners Barcelona because Belgium defender Thomas Vermaelen, 29, who they sold to the Spanish club last August, did not play a single minute in the competition.(London Evening Standard)

I can't really complain, considering how much of our shiny new stadium Barca have helped pay for over the years.

What's he done to upset you now then?

Told the FA that they are ruining the game by trying to sanitise it?

[SantiSuk]

Might have expected an old school* football response from you . So you reckon Arsene is happy with him having led a stupid insulting chant (quite clearly bringing the game into disrepute) then challenging the decision? Take your medicine boy, having clearly not taken advice.

Jack: "boss I think the FA have been OTT taking me to task, what do you advise?" Arsene: "I agree with you Jack - what you did was fine in my book - I reckon you should complain". Aint gonna have happened.

* The world has moved on - you can't go around insulting classes of people (except with some degree of sophistication, like football managers do!) in public these days.

Arsene looked perfectly happy in the lounge last week....apart from having me nicking his sarnies when he wasn't looking of course.

The banter is part of football and fans accept it.

This has only been brought up because the press had nothing else to make a meal of.

Perhaps this is more up your street Santi:

"Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere has been charged by the FA for singing an obscene song about Tottenham Hotspur. The song, a favourite among supporters, begins, “My old man said be a Tottenham fan”, before expressing in the most candid terms the narrator’s antipathy to his father’s suggestion.

To prevent others bringing the game into disrepute, the FA should send each player a booklet containing family-friendly versions of popular chants. For example: “My old man said be a Tottenham fan. I politely declined his invitation and there we let the matter rest.” And: “You’re performing below expectations, and you know you are.” And: “Who ate all the pies? Not you, evidently, for you are a professional athlete.”

Normally I would say ban him for a season but you should be punished...so play him every game instead. Lol...

So you want him to start his annual injury in July, is that it?

He'll probably get f@#ked in the International anyway!
