Koscielney's method for dealing with a shot on his goal:
Make yourself as narrow as possible, protect the family jewels, close your eyes and hope for the best. |

Missed the match yesterday, but reading here seems like we dodged a bullet. But a win is a win, let's hope we can put up a stronger show against Liverpool.

I think getting booked comes with the territory of the role. I do agree however that he wasn't intelligent enough after the booking. He must have been told at half time to be careful.

Regarding blocking shots, if you watch the replay of West Ham's second goal, Koscielny blocked the Cech's view and Cech ends up gesturing to Koscielny maybe saying his view was obscured. I think the defenders are more weary of this now but it doesn't help having this uncertainty for long range shots. Too many players are off the pace - Cech, Koscielny, Coq to name a few however they can only improve and get sharper with more games. |

What happened, poor decisions or bias?

But there's nothing to see here; Coutinhio aside there's nothing to fear, save ourselves! Looking forward to the game actually; missed West Ham (what a shame) as I'm abroad at present but I'm back on Sunday, so let's get that first home win and properly into the groove. |

There's a short tv documentary about him - on the BBC I think.
He goes back there every year. Crime-ridden hell hole at the arse end of Chile. He meets youngsters and pays for footballs, boots, and other things so the kids can at least play football. |

Disappointed to hear nothing about attempts to sign a striker. I feel a lack of goals is still a major issue.

I wonder if Walcott is being saved for if/when Giroud has a loss of form or gets injured. Expected him to be playing alot more than he is at the moment although it's early days. |

I'm resigned to no players being signed from now until the end of the transfer window. Another season being short of the players we need to truly challenge.

I've just read that Ibrahimovitch(?) wants to leave PSG and Arsenal and Utd may be interested.

The rumour is doing the rounds I know. Guess we just have to wait and see now.

Okay the Benzema rumour looks to have some legs. I am rather hoping it doesn't go ahead. Vastly overpriced for a slight upgrade on Giroud and that may be debatable. RM would be mugs to turn that kind of money down for a 15 goals a season player. Bloody madness.
