Cameron's played CM before

But the fact of the matter is that he can't be out for a year and a bit through injury and then expect to come back and walk into the first team. It's unfair on Chamberlain. When he's done his bit coming off the bench and if Chamberlain isn't effective then he'll have deserved a starting opportunity.

Since when Diaby pick the team or say he expects to walk back into it? Very harsh on Diaby here.

0-0

Sure, poor wording from me. I should have said that he shouldn't come back from injury and feature in the first team. That's basically the gist of what I meant. It's probably more Wenger's fault than Diaby's.

I know. But he's probably going to do essentially the same thing Shotton did in the midfield, even though he's in the middle.

I'm not sure, Wenger should obviously pick the best team he can and Diaby is far more experienced in a box-to-box midfield role than Chamberlain. I think Chamberlain should either play CAM or either wing if starting for us.

Wait, did Stoke sign Jeff Cameron?

Yes.

Was not aware.

Who are these people?

BladeGunner, Theo hates Gervinho so he doesn't count by the way where is he?

You've got it the wrong way around.

Nope I haven't.

Theo has been banned for treason.

Oh wow.

So 1 person then Jones?

I believe Ramsey to be a quality midfielder until he gets into the final third.

Then this happens..

Lol, I remember that moment.. was so fucking great.

I love Ramsey tbh.. but agree he goes brain dead once he reaches the 18yd box.

Who is the player all the way on the outside-right? Lol fuming.

Chamberlain most likely.

pedantic's gonna pedant

Almost a success.

Yeah, pretty sure that's Chamberlain punching the air and RvP yelling for the ball.

I dunno about you guys but I've never seen a player wide open who calls for a pass actually receive it.

Chamberlain was seething

I remember our first trip to Stoke City, Clichy got his first goal and we conceded two of those shit throw ins.

Clichy's goal against Stoke was so lucky

To be fair, Ramsey couldn't have passed to Chamberlain without a chance the defender could get to it, and by the time RvP wanted it, Ramsey was one on one and had a good chance. He just fucked it up

2-2

1-1.

Demolished if Szczesny doesn't play.

MaNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOnne.
