exert from a book on scouts from a couple of years ago. "Pat" is Pat Holland, former arsenal scout.
no deflection on giroud's goal, stewart. didn't think there was in the replay but that slo-mo confirms it.

Didn't think it was a deflection either.
Random question: This year Gibbs gets awarded the number 3 for LB. Yet Wilshere (while I don't dislike him) gets the mega coveted #10. Could you see someone like Ozil or Ramsey taking the 10 from Jack, or do you think he will keep it as long as he is with Arsenal.
I know it's not a deep, intuitive, tactical question usually posted on here at times, BUT ITS A MONDAY!

jack got the no. 10 when RvP left. he's had it for awhile and won't lose it until he leaves IMO.

My guess is they didn't ask for it, or get along well enough that they knew Jack wanted it and let him have it.

Some thoughts on yesterday's games after watching last night.
Love Debuchy's work rate, but God he and Per are going to be a heart attack pairing. Debuchy gets in really high positions and leaves his center back exposed. Callum got caught out a couple of times because of this. I hope we can get him a little more disciplined defensively. He's very good going forward.
It's weird how much balance we have with that three man midfield. I wonder if we'll try it with Mesut. He did a lot of defensive work at the WC this summer, though that was mostly tracking back wide. We could play him wide with a Ramsey-Wilshere-Arteta group, which would give us a ton of versatility, but that would be at the expense of Santi, Theo, Alexis, Giroud, etc, and take him out of his best spot. It may be something we try against the teams that cut us up in the midfield last year. Jack and Aaron really overran Yaya and Fernando because of Arteta's protective presence behind them.
I think Giroud is in for a big year. He'll have more rest. He's just so good back to goal, and when he's fresh he does make runs behind, at least enough to keep a defense honest.
I've been really impressed with Gibbs over the last few months. He's looking physically dominant, bigger than I thought he'd be. He's become a really good defender, IMO.

If any of those four play out wide it'll be Jack, but with our wealth of wide players right now I doubt it

he does a really good job and winning the ball higher up the pitch though. and refs seem to let him get away with his body checks. will certainly need to mesh with Per. Per and Sagna had a very good understanding. will take time for that to develop between though two.
sanchez wasn't even near his best yesterday and he was still a terror. so excited to watch him this season.

I liked the counter attacking look of our side yesterday. With Sanchez we are sooooo deadly on the break because he has the ability to take people out of the play with his incredible combination of technique and speed.

i know everyone is hating on santi lately, but i think he will have a big year for us.
His problem was not taking shots last season, always looking to pass it off, which isnt terrible, but hes two footed and has the ability to hit some beauties from distance. He does best cutting in and letting it rip. Hopefully we will see that more this year. You notice with is quick feet he can really turn a defender to open up those shots for him. usually hes good defensively, it was just preseason he seemed to have zero interest in defending.

It's too bad Alexis goes by Alexis.. I could never get that on the back of my shirt. I know too many girls by that name.

Just roll up your shorts and they'll understand

they didnt have anymore "r"s so they had to order more letters. does anyone know how long that takes?
Posted on 8/11/14 at 8:30 pm to tbradley12
It took me a couple weeks to get mine. But they didn't order it right away.
