They went on to show the stamps by that absolute c^nt Bowyer. Thank F Song crunched him at one point, if i were Sagna, i would have done him as well...
Bowyer was a dirty fouling **** today and should've been sent off at least once. Not surprised the manager subbed him.
Total f***ing arsehole.

Fabregas, Song and Wilshere is our best midfield
I'm not totally convinced of that.
The initial sparkle of Wilshere has worn off a bit now and he can go missing sometimes.
When Jack has an average game (as he has done many times lately) I feel sorry for Denilson because as soon as Jack is not on fire he's no better than Denilson imo.
Remember that he's playing in Denilson's position so he's doing exactly the same jobs. Obviously if Jack was played as an AM he'd be better than Denilson.
Jack is a better dribbler and he likes a fight but Denilson is physically stronger and gives the ball away less.
As for Diaby, he's much better than Jack but of course he needs a run of games to hit form and he rarely gets them because he's always f***ing injured.
If all three were fit I wouldn't start Jack if it were up to me.
I'd have Wilshere over Diaby or Denilson any day of the week. He's been outstanding for us this season and I think he would start over any Englishmen in the country in midfield. He has the creativity and skill of Diaby plus the calm and accuracy of Denilson in the passing. When he starts losing his form or doesn't show up, I'd rather have Rosicky over either of them anyway.
The creativity and skill of Diaby...? I can't agree with you there.
Diaby is one of the best dribblers in the squad, Jack can dribble but he's not on Diaby's level in that department. Diaby also has strength and height over Jack (who doesn't?) not to mention experience.
Jack can be naive at times and sometimes runs around like a headless chicken.
As for the calm and accuracy of Denilson when passing, I haven't seen that yet. Occasionally Jack can thread through a perfect defence-splitting pass and when it comes off it's superb. He's definitely better at that than Denilson but he gives the ball away far more than Denilson imo.
Can't remember which game it was last year but Jack gave the ball away all game. Eventually he was subbed for Denilson and the whole midfield suddenly looked tighter.
Denilson and Diaby are also far more likely to score than Jack.
I think sometimes people can get carried away with what a revelation Jack has been.
For his age he's been superb but when playing next to Song he doesn't bring that much to the game unless he manages to get himself in and around the box.
