re: Arsenal 2013/2014 Season Long Thread

Great showing.

pulis is gone so they're classy now.

bet Rambo pays him to take out shawcross

would be great. hope he decided to leave. here's to closing strong

He is much better on the left.

agreed. he's better at LW though for sure.

Poldi loves to have the ball at his feet. He hates running without the ball. His ability to play 1-2's is what redeems in the final third. But he wants to play 1-2's 60 yards from goal like a moron. He needs to make more forward runs.

Yeah it wasn't really friendly. Some pretty hard challenges on both ends. Man City will have trouble if they play a high line against good teams.

Really impressed with Walcott. He once had a really awful touch, but his form the last three seasons has been very good and he's only 24. He was involved in every goal and is such a threat with the ball at his feet.

navas with a couple of shameful exhibition dives. damn.

I agree. Walcott looked very good. getting into dangerous positions isn't his problem. now that his touch, finishing, and crossing has improved so much, he's a really dangerous player.

couldn't glean much from this performance, but Perez looks very skilled. composed on the ball. hope we sign him.

rambo looks fricking awesome. after the opposite seemed to be the case a few years back, his rise may relegate Jack to the bench much more. maybe we should have a discussion about Jack and what his best position is. to me, he just isn't creative enough to play the no 10. he also hasn't been as impressive (since two years ago) as Rambo is now in the double pivot. with Goose coming in, it will be interesting to see our midfield combos. he + rambo/jack should be very good going forward. he + arteta would be interesting too this year, though less burst from the MF. wonder how much we'd see that.

Friend of OBUDan,

You said you just got your away kit in.

I'm thinking about getting one as well, but am worried how it might fit without really being able to try it on first. I generally wear large shirts, but sometimes need mediums depending on how they're made. For instance, a number of the dri-fit LSU t-shirts I have that are made by Nike are in medium.

How does yours fit relative to the types of shirts you usually purchase?

Also, what's the best place to order from? Should I just get one off of the Arsenal website?

Thanks.

I'd echo crazy. I generally wear large but nike dri-fit stuff is huge. if you wear medium in Nike drifit t-shirts and polos, definitely get a medium. I have a large home jersey and its a little too big for my liking (though it cost enough that I wear it ). I'd recommend medium, but like crazy said, if a niketown or some soccer apparel store is close, you could try it on.

as for location, my home kit came from arsenal store usa and my away from worldsoccershop (bought it on the recent 20% off sale). you might compare prices. the latter will occasionally run deals but after the recent sale I wouldn't think there'd be a significant one until black Friday. the former never runs sales that I've seen.
