Same here.. had him down for around 27-32 I used to call him Young'ish Batard... I cant start saying 'Young' Batard as it would almost sound condescending.. " now you listen to me young Batard... " Is this true Batard??? are you really only 21??? Happy Birthday by the way...

21.. Are you pulling my plonker Stanley...

Lets hope they don't rush him back before he is fit enough or he could just get laid up for longer...

Well that would be a bit silly given our position in the league and considering the very poor transfer window we had but not unlike the knee jerk reactions of the hierarchy going by past activities at the club...

With the flights being around £350 its the least they could do...

Blimey... Sounds like an AGM meeting in here... Selling players, Not winning the League and just squeeking a top 4 position ( or not ) does not matter as long as you are achieving your 'Objective Metrics' In Wenger we Trust...

I hear their AGM meeting went well.... from what I can tell it was mostly all positive According to 'Objective Metrics' they should be well out in front of everyone else in the League... maybe Arsenal can bring that in as a possible way to win the League each season..

Makes sense... More people are dying now than in 2006 so logically they would want to expand the Graveyard and make it bigger....

She is funny actually... she gets a little confused when you do a ball or a circle because as far as she is concerned its a ball no matter what it is.. and the same with a Banana, she calls it the moon... If you try and explain its not the moon but a banana she argues back.. "Look a banana" " Moon" " No, its a banana" "Moon" we can carry on like that for about 5 minutes then she lets out this quick scream that tells me I am wrong and she is right and we move on to something else.. Just like her mother I note..

Very relaxing I am told.... I used to do a lot of free hand stuff back in my younger days but all I am stretched to these days is Triangles/Squares and Snails for Leelah.. she does like her snails, I chuck the odd Teddy picture in there as well just for variety

Would prefer to see drawn versions so we can get a taste of your artistic talent...

Only someone who does not spend much time around youngsters can hate Halloween... Talking of Halloween though I was talking with my boss yesterday and he said his missus went ahead and got this costume to go out Trick or treating in with his son.. He was less than impressed apparently... I said that I hoped she knocked on my door looking like that as I wouldn't trick her but she may well be in for a treat Oh the laughs we had after making that comment....

I wish you luck...

I think we will be lucky to get a draw away to be honest after what happened at home.... I doubt they will ease off

Is that right Mourinho blamed the wind for the defeat??? Excuse me while I have a little snigger to myself...

I don't think anyone that has an opposing opinion of what they believe is going on at the club is belittling of anyone.. they are merely opinions I don't doubt that there were 1 or 2 players that may well have been close to Costa and would have preferred him to stay that's inevitable in any team set up but you cant tell me that the likes of Batshuayi were sobbing their hearts out hearing he would not be back, It represented a golden opportunity for him to try and carve out a place in the side after playing second fiddle since his arrival.. the truth is he is probably more likely to be a little bit anti Morata than pro Costa so its swings and roundabouts.. As it stands despite his departure and since the arrival of Morata he is still finding himself sidelined and that's part of the problem currently. Against City for example with Morata limping off early Conte decides to bring on Willian who we are all aware is not even close to the normal levels he is capable of and last night again he was poor.. and yet Batshuayi was left out until the 73rd minute in the City game and did not even get a look in at all last night. You cant expect a player who is not getting games to be on top form in the few minutes he does get and even worse to be in a position where we are chasing a game we are being dominated in... In games like last night Fabregas is a waste of space.. He likes time on the ball and space but when under the cosh and having to constantly think quickly he does not react well and becomes sluggish on and off the ball, you often get the feeling its a monumental effort for him to get about the pitch sometimes.. We are only a handful of games in and yet we are struggling with individual performances that are well under par compared to last season..

With Conte?? The man who ousted Costa? Cant see it myself.. Too many weaknesses in the side currently and players not getting it together along with injuries and lack of depth are more likely to be the root causes.. No excuses for any of it though in my opinion, how can you go from 2-0 up last night to 3-2 down and just manage to draw? How did we get shafted by Palace a team that has had zero direction, zero goals and zero points.. Its mental laziness and complacency with the odd bizarre tactical switch thrown in for good measure that are our undoing currently...

Can you imagine what the kids would look like... don't bare thinking about

If the wife says it was then that's good enough for me... telling her she might be wrong about something is just not worth the bruises..

I think Stan has...

The only dry patch that any woman has ever known being around me mate is the one that covers a wound on the body...

My missus said it was the Sahara as well...

Don't need much me mate... as long as it works and is reliable I don't feel the need to be throwing hundreds of pounds at something I will never get any decent use out of... I see how much people are paying a month for the privilege and think sod that!!

Mine is a bog standard hand me down Samsung something or other... the numbers have faded on it so don't know much else got a decent camera on it though and I use that quite a bit for odds and sods.. I only use mine to take a few calls and do a bit of texting.. the little buttons are far too small for my manly ( some would say sausage ) fingers and I don't have FB or any of them things and don't feel the need to be having something I am struggling to fit in my back pocket.. Also the lower grade phones do have their benefits.. don't cost much and cant do things like video calls like my last phone the girls got me.. Not getting caught out with one of them again.. makes it hard to tell a few white lies to the missus if you are out really late..

That's the one... cant keep up with all the names..
