In that situation, FWAAD is the appropriate acronym. Then at the end you say FRGWAAD.

Vintage 03/04 victory today. Once again retaining our composure under pressure where once we'd buckle at the slightest breeze

I feel this occasion calls for more dancing nanners...

Looks like 2012 is a horrible year for my football teams and a great year for my futbol teams..

Astonishing. Third was a pipe dream. Wenger has truly been a master. Two blemishes I blame on shite pitches. AC Milan there and Sunderland there. Our form has been great. Blow out wins and gutting out wins like at Anfield and today at Goodison. I frickING LOVE THIS SQUAD!!!!!!

Speaks volumes. Henry is a class act. Despite what the Irish say.

After watching the game, our movement in the first half was great, and our left sided movement was superb all game. Gibbs needs to improve his final ball, but he can sure motor down the left.

Noticed the same thing, though I didn't watch the entire match. Kind of odd considering we had a CM playing out left.

For all the sick assists he dishes out, Song makes some really dumb simple passes. Almost (should have) burned us yesterday. He has to improve in that area.

Wish Ramsey would learn how to score. He misses so many good opportunities.

I'm not sure I like Ramsey over the Ox.. if only for the reason that I think Ox's ceiling is much higher with some playing time and he's not far behind now..

Not sure? I despise Ramsey over ox. The return of Sagna and Gibbs along with the replacement of Ramsey in the starting lineup is the main reason for the current winning streak. Ramsey has single-handedly cost us multiple games this season. He should not be starting over Gervinho and the Ox its a joke

Ramsey is a center mid? Oxlade-Chambo and Ricky Gervinho are wingers/forwards?

The Ox is a CAM as well. That's what he played at Southampton, even if he's only played it once for Arsenal. I think Wenger's plan was to start him out wide then move him centrally.

Ramsey played that winger position some last night. But mainly i meant Ramsey instead of Ox is a highly suspect personnel decision.

but Wenger keeps discussing how fans need to be patient relative to how he brings on Ox... at 18 years old, he doesn't want him to get injured.

But I've been discussing the same thing with my friends. Ramsey just can't seem to do anything impressive. He's in the right positions a lot of the time, he just can't do anything.

To be fair, that was the plan with Theo too, he's just shown little ability to function centrally.

It's a good sign that he gets into good positions. His problem is he is ponderous on the ball. He gets into good positions, but he lacks the confidence of the final ball. He will need to develop that if he's to reach his full potential.
