Hola Barry....hope your keeping well. I'll most probably take a snap shot and paste it to show what Im seeing. I can only see blank boxes above this box Im typing now were previously could see options to insert image / video / quote tags.

I cant seem to use the accessories like quote, change of fonts etc when posting.

Awful shame as he is young. Former footballer Charlie Adam dies suddenlyThe former footballer Charlie Adam has died suddenly. He was 50 years old. Tayside Police said they were called to Grampian Gardens in Dundee at about 18:30 on Monday following the death. There were no suspicious circumstances but a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal. As a midfielder, Mr Adam played with clubs including Dundee United and Partick Thistle. His son Charlie is a Scotland international and plays for Stoke City. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-20765579

Seems to be a few changes. I auto log into the activity page plus the thread list look slightly different

Good idea for a new thread - Classic Adverts!

Your probably right. I looked at the fixture list about a month or so ago and they had Fulham, Spurs, Villa, Everton and Swansea before this 5 coming up. I thought a good Arsenal side and a team who wants to compete would have taken at least 10pts from that 5 games but only took 6pts. The fixtures will only get tougher after the Southampton game on 4th January. I think he should go back to playing 4-4-1-1 which served him so well in his first 7 years. Carzola playing behind Podolski upfront with Walcott and the Ox on the wings with Arteta and Wilshire in the middle. They need a bit of a clear out and bring in some quality. Sell off the likes of Squillaci, Santos, Arshavin, Chamakh and Rosicky (good player but injury prone). Go out and spend to bring in Pepe Reina, Lescott, Baines and Felliani.

Yup! I had to read it about 4 times before making out what was being said. A full stop in between 2 sentences wouldnt have went a miss.

Is that the rearranged game? Who were we due to be playing this Sat if it is the rearranged game?

They play 2 games before anyone else kicks a ball. If they win those (Reading and Wigan) they are 3rd albeit played more games, so all isnt as bad as it seems. After that they have West Ham, Newcastle both at home then Southampton away. Maximum points should be the target as all games are more than winnable. If they lose tonight then I think it would be his last game.

Hateley spot on again this week. Out of the '3 Stevens' Davis is the only one I dont use energy up on. He kept quiet and actually had a decent Gers career. The other 2 Stevens - Whittaker and Naismith can jog on.

Aluko is the only one id give you out of them. Burke used to trip over his over feet. Beasley got blown over by the wind and Wylde was just beginning to come onto a game when he got dropped. Weiss was inconsistant but when he was good he was very good.

Bang on!. Thats just saying - You are NOT welcome.

But if his loan agreement is one season surely the Italian club have to cover his wage? I liked Goian last season but as said previously he started this season slowly and was out of place, yet so was the whole squad after not having a pre season. But lets bring him back, get him fit then its another name to an already thin squad that has to get though another 10 months before we can sign players.

Yes that or donate a portion of his signing on fee at Everton back to the club. Cant imagine he'd be on anything less than 25k / week at Goodison after a decent signing on fee.

Thats what I thought. 2nd picture shes pretty nice even though there is a few coats of make up. But the first one when you take away the blonde hair you have one scary looking nutter.

She is silly to react to it. Anyone could be at the wind up plus there is always idiots with access to these social networks. If she ignores it then nothing happens.

Even though thats a strong post Im inclined to agree. Yet not sure about the not forgiving part. I could probably forgive people as I dont like holding animosity but doesnt mean to say they will ever be welcome back to the club. Plus with Hindsight they are missing out on a tremendous journey and story that will go down in history. The longer we move forward and stronger we get I feel more ex players like this are going to regret. They will have to accept they jumped ship and left us in the lurch of starting a season with a bare squad when they could have helped us get a transfer fee to assist in buying players. As Davie has mentioned, its not the career advancement that has bothered fans. Charles Green always said he wouldnt stand in the way of players moving on once they transferred their contracts over. How good will it feel for the likes of McCulloch when we eventually get back to the top and lift silverware, that will be the ultimate satisfaction for a player, working their way from bottom to top. Its at that moment ex players may think "I wish I was part of that".....And of course when the Champions League theme is blasting through at Ibrox again the people who can feel proudness are the players and staff who have contributed to this journey and of course the fantastic supporters who are doing the club and themselves proud.

Have any of his other 9 birds got anything better to say?

Do one Naismith. You were the vocal pratt who thought you were bigger than the club coming out asking why the CEO hadnt knocked on your door explaining the future....how dare he not do that eh! Why wasnt the sentence "leaving Ibrox was the hardest part of my career so far" not said in the summer? Why is it only now when players are realising we are coming back as strong as ever that they have to make a statement to get onside. And they keep using the 'must do whats best for them and family' excuse. I dont buy that when Bocanegra, Alexander and Goian didnt need to, especially when Naismith was already on about 18k a week from a club who stuck by him for 2 years while he spent his time on a treatment table.

I think the main things keeping him in a job is what he achieved in his first 7 years plus the financial fair play. Once that kicks in Arsenal will be the best placed team. But teams have 3 years to get it sorted out and in that time Arsenal still wont compete. But with Guardiola available you'd think a number of Arsenal fans would take that change now. Teams find it to easy to play against them now, they know exactly how they will play. He needs a couple of solid signings. The defence is still shocking. Jenkinson last season was embarrassing, people say he has improved but he is maybe a League 1 player at best now. Lescott from Man City should be his first pick. Once Diaby is back and if he stays injury free then he is the exact type of midfielder they need. If West Ham can buy a top player like Diame who runs midfields then why can Arsenal. Speaking of which, Diame out for 3 months, pity because he is a top player. The run of fixtures they have until the end of month should be max points or I think we could see Wenger out: Reading (A) Wigan (A) West Ham (H) Newcastle (H)

Would like to hear what Lafferty has to say for himself after his statement the other day about not being welcomed back!

Official Website just says: But no mention if this is public sale and the allocation we will get. Supporters clubs:

Guardiola or Mourinho will be wanted. But Chelsea want both also and Im wondering if Jose would prefer Man Utd.

That was always going to happen, you cant keep 25 superstars happy and need squad players who wont be better that the starting XI. Lescott and Micah Richards arent getting a game yet on their day should. Arsenal should try and sign Lescott and sort their defence out with a physical no nonsense English defender. Actually they both would be good signings for Arsenal. Can see Spurs and Liverpool going for them which would improve both sides.

Just noticed we are at home to Clyde on boxing day so that might be the game I take in.
