Much better, in this weather
Its always better to be at the ground, a guy who sits near me is blind but goes every game - the vibe/buzz of being there can't be matched at home.

I was reminded by my mate that Anfield '89 was a Friday night... That was an alright Friday night game 
That Rebels for the cause book looks a great read - just brought the paperback version. going to give this a go soon too.

ta must have been injured. or suspended.
Another game of two halves. I thought we were very comfortable first half and for the early part of the second.
It's clear Wilshere is more comfortable in the centre of midfield as opposed to the flanks. I thought he had his best match for some time.
Robust at the back, Mertesacker, my player of the season so far, was livid at conceding their goal. The two centre backs are the best pairing in the country at the moment.
We don't look like a team on the verge of falter and fold. There is no pressure on us although it does not feel like that watching. They keep saying we can't win the Title but we have been top all season.

It's hard to believe this kid is only 16. Not just the skill, but the awareness, the vision, the brilliance of perfectly weighted passes on a really poor, wet pitch... and he can finish too, just like his daddy.
Now, if we can just get him to trade in those 3 Lions got the Green jersey... just like all his family before him....

He's opted for england now.
for now.
It's wee Dan's choice to make for himself in his own good time.
Nearly 10 years ago, when he was 7, (yes, he was jaw-droppingly good at that age too) I was asked to get odds off Paddy Power on his playing full international for Ireland - could have got 200-1 (as in his being good enough, not what choice he might make). Yer man asked me what club he was attached to, I said 'he's 7 years old mate, he hasn't signed for anyone yet'.
His Dad, who is a class act and knows a bit about being something of a child sporting prodigy, asked the lads not to make the bets (they were looking at investing £100 each) as he did not want put any pressure on the kid, either by tempting fate over how he might progress or indeed what options he might choose in the future.

He can't change back now. He could and did at previous levels but not now he's played for England at his current level.

3rd time of asking, who's his dad then?

Stop...Hammertime
I've googled and can't even find out, so I'm assuming it's not a 'big' name.

I don't think he's a footballer. As the kid played Gaelic football i suspect that his old man did too.
yes he can. The decision is his alone to make. Maybe we could get you to badger him a bit to play for england... and seal the deal for us.
... I see he is already educating some of his club-mates as to the intricacies of our other beautiful game too... God knows what he would be like if Waterford won an All-Ireland

Can he? Can you point to something saying that?
Versus Fulham this will be Arsenal’s 200th London derby in the Premier League era and their 100th on home soil. The overall record - W103 D55 L41 - and an average points-per-game of 1.83, the best in capital.
Arsenal: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Flamini, Wilshere, Gnabry, Ozil, Cazorla, Giroud.
Subs: Rosicky, Podolski, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Fabianski, Jenkinson, Gibbs, Park.
Fulham: Stekelenburg, Riether, Burn, Hangeland, Richardson, Dejagah, Sidwell, Parker, Kacaniklic, Dempsey, Berbatov.
Subs: Riise, Kasami, Stockdale, Karagounis, Duff, Hughes, Bent.
