I could see Szczesny having a chance at the GK spot tbh. Pv I'd have Per ahead of Boss for me.

Only other Arsenal player that had a chance was Ramsey, and he still might make it anyway considering just how good he was early in the season.

If Sol Campbell doesn't get in the ToTY, the FA are racist.

Boss HAS to be in it. Can't see any other Arsenal players other than maybe Sczez - no one has played consistently enough IMO.

Hard choice imno to not have Aguero in a ToTY

It was between him and Suarez for player of the year before he got injured.

To be in the Team of the Year surely you have to actually play for the year and not just a small portion of it.

Then I guess we'll have to take out Sturridge then considering he's only played a mere 100 odd minutes more :roll:

And no Aguero he's out too.

Oh wow 174 minutes is enough for one player (coincidentally who's from Liverpool) to be in the TOTS but the Arsenal player can't, because 1/19th of the league is SO much of a difference.

Jog on, he'll be in there and you can have a sook about it.

Sturridge and Suarez are the top two scorers in the league.

Why should Ramsay be there? Other than that he played well six months ago.

Ahh sweet, you know your original statement was wrong so now you're trying to change the argument completely.

No other midfielder outside of Yaya/Gerrard/Lallana/Hazard (who are all in the team) have matched his scoring contributions. That good enough for you?

Lets see how you try to change the argument this time :roll:

Didn't know whether to put this in Arse or Sp*rs thread, but figured Sp*rs fans read here anyway..

Jan Vertonghen has said that the top four has improved but Sp*rs have stayed still. He also said the most fitting & brilliantly hilarious line I've read from a Sp*rs fan/player in a long time.

Quote:
"I do not want to look at the table any more because the gap (to the top four) is very big," said Vertonghen.


Can anyone help me out with the three little words I'm trying to think of after reading that quote? Pretty sure Sp*rs fans used to say it a lot :lol:

The scenes after the game though. Such a good feeling around the club for the first time in a long time. Don't have to worry about our best players leaving, the players we have love the club and we're actually competing. Such a strange feeling :lol:

Those scenes after the game have a lot to do, imo, with having a group of players who realise just how much it means to the fans. Having guys like Jenks, Wilshere and Gibbs as well as Flamini having been at the club and Per being a fan from childhood really helps with all of that.

What was? The selfie or the celebrations? I didn't think the celebrations were too much at all, not even close to our celebrations after the 5-3 against Chelsea a few years ago which in hindsight were hilarious.

For anyone interested our young boys are playing against Barcelona in the youth Champions League QFs for a chance to play Schalke in the semis. Game is on Eurosport at 3:45am. I'll definitely be recording it.

The selfie. I know it's a different world now with social media but I don't think professionals should have their phones with them out on the pitch.

I don't think he did. Pretty sure one of the subs brought it to him after the game.

But it doesen't look bad :lol: It looks like 3 players who care enough to want to capture a moment with the fans. I'm sure if they had have had a photographer take it you would have no objection :roll:
