See Wilshere is n the front page of the Sun again today.
The nightclub told the newspaper that a “Jack” was asked to leave before adding: “He is welcome back any time”.

But preferably not at 2.15 in the ****ing morning when he hasn't played for a year and is supposed to be getting back to fitness.

Well yes, it doesn't look good does it, irrespective of the actual circumstances.

"Jack of Clubs"

He needs to grow up and not get involved in these situations.

Notice how Wenger was quick to slap Ozil down for speaking the truth but he freely lets his underachievers mouth off when they talk about being in the title race and how brilliant they are.

Was very impressed with Iwobi, Welbeck and Sanchez up front again on Saturday, they link up well and have good chemistry. Elneny and Ospina also doing very well since coming in to the team.

West Ham will be a tough test, they play well and have a good manager, think they'll 'get stuck in' to us too which we don't usually like.

Until the disastrous opening day defeat against WHU we had been unbeaten in 17 matches with WHU, most of them victories. We usually gave them a goal start as well and roared back from behind. However, it must be the late 70s since WHU had as good as this and they could well do the double over us. Make or break for us this saturday lunchtime.

Mid to late 80s they were good under John Lyall. Very good team. Almost won the league. Frank McAvennie (sp?), and Tony Cottee.

West Ham is going to be tough, though I'm the eternal optimist so still think we'll win! Just as long as we don't give away any free kicks outside the box – with Payet being the FK God, it's akin to giving any other team a penalty!

Summary of ODL's news conference:
-------
on the latest team news...
We have a similar squad available. Ramsey could join the squad again because he had a good training session on Wednesday and would normally have a final test on Friday. There’s a possibility he could be back in the squad.
on Flamini...
Flamini is in a similar situation to Ramsey.

on overall injury situation...
Santi and Alex [Oxlade-Chamberlain] are the only injuries now. At the moment we [are waiting] on Alex coming back to fitness and Santi to practise. They should not be too far. Overall, the injury situation looks quite good.
on Rosicky and Wilshere...
Tomas Rosicky and Jack Wilshere will play for the under-21s on Friday night.
------

Good to hear we'be got people coming back. We've missed Santi a lot and, to a lesser degree, could have done with with Rambo, Rosicky and wilshere.

All wins from now on gives us a slim chance. All down to Leicester dropping points. Not too worried about Spurs, they'll probably drop more points than us. Let's hope their old boy Defoe does us both a favour this weekend.

Our last game ever at the Boleyn tomorrow. We have had some great matches there down the years. My only visit to the ground was when Anelka was with us. Evening match. 0-0...typical! Another traditional stadium to be levelled

Our recent record there is pretty good. West Ham are one of the teams of the season though and will be a tough test. Failure to win will finally kill off any lingering hopes of the title. Though I do think Leicester will drop points at Sunderland. I expect Tott to beat Man Utd, though again it wouldn't surprise me if they drop points too. Arsenal are evens to win with PP. Hmmm.

I see we can add Payet to the list of players AW "nearly bought".

Would it be easier to start a list of players he didn't nearly buy?

But seriously, why would AW come out and say that? He's annoyed Arsenal fans and given Payet a reason to prove himself against us – not that he needed one, mind, but still!

Yeah, Id rather Wenger was ignorant of all the football talent that's out there.

Holy word twisting batman! The point, and it's a good one, is that there is no benefit in coming out with statements like this.

Am quite nervous about today's game. We've got a good record against WHU, but they are one of the teams of the season. It's going to be a hard game. I'd like to see Elneny starting, he brings a certain calmness to the midfield and should stick to Payet like glue. Coq will struggle to keep a cool head, and we may as well start with 10 men rather than play Flamini... Will be interesting to see the front line, Wellbeck on the left, Sanchez on the right and Giroud through the middle, I'd guess.

Ospina keeps his place which he deserves to really.
A big call to leave a fit Cech out though.

Big call indeed, also surprised and somewhat delighted to see Wellbeck up front and for Iwobi to keep his place. It's the team I'd have wanted to see, apart from Ospina starting. It's clear that we're a better team with him, so why leave him out?

My OH has gone today, as it's been one of his favourite away grounds.

WH are flying, so I've no idea how we'll perform

I'd love to see Utd beat the Totts tomorrow - fingers crossed.

Yep, the combination with Sanchez in particular is very encouraging and seems to complement Ozil and El Neny.

Shame we wasted so many points persevering with with the Theo, Olivier and Ox axis, rather than building and making proper use of the squad.

Welbeck's return has helped matters. He's not the *striker*, but he's a clear upgrade on Giroud, who lacks movement.

Iwobi has slotted in well.

Again, it's all 'too little, too late'.

FFS! Can't help but think Cech would have done better...

And that's why we won't win anything, ladies and gens!

Brilliance followed by ineptitude, can only laugh!
