Welcome to the GunnersoreArse Blog, being blogged 918.74 kilometers (in a straight line) from the Emirates Stadium.
This article is a continuation from my last post, so perhaps to understand the context, it may be best to read that first here:
I walked on the Emirates pitch 34 years before Wenger. A history of heroes and villains!
In the mid 70’s, Arsenal had declined somewhat from the glory days of the early 70’s. The lowest point being a 17th place position in the league in 1975/76. Most of the double winning team of 1970/71 were moving to other teams and Bertie Mee had been replaced by Terry Neill as manager, Charlie George had gone, Ray Kennedy had gone to Liverpool and made a very successful change from Striker to Midfielder. George Graham had buggered off to Man Utd in 1972 and Frank McClintock had moved across London to Queens Park Rangers…

Positively Arsenal 
Low went with Boateng instead of Mertesacker because he knows the Bayern Munich system a lot better. Again, you make stupid assumptions based on ignorance.
Hummels plays the Koscielny role at Dortmund. What the hell are you on about?

Hunter have you every considered a part-time slot at the comedy store? Stand up?

A good thing for Germany that Boateng (& Schweiny) had such good games. No doubt the German left with Hummles and Howdes was the obvious weak spot. I thought before the game that they had to start Lavezzi on their right (started on the left last game) to attack the German weak area to have a chance in this game, and they did. So was surprised to see Lavezzi go off at HT. Injury? Hunter may be in denial but the Argie coach knew which areas to target. Alongside Messi’s low fitness after so many injuries this season, losing di Maria was a massive blow. But Germany also had to cope with their injuries. They had a bigger better squad. And their manager rotated his way through the tournament like a genius.
I was very happy when the better Boateng bruvver moved from Abu Dhabi to Munchen.

“I’m not hyping up anyone mate….youre the one talking bollocks about players who have done things in their careers and claiming that lesser players in lesser clubs with lesser achievements are on another level…..a truly laughable statement of yours. and i have told you before…when djourou does better than them you can come and claim his superiority over them. till then your claim is a ridiculous one.”
All I said is I’d stick with Djourou instead of paying over the odds for donkeys like Hummels and David Luiz.
By the way, you still haven’t told me why you think these two players are better than Djourou. All you’ve done is talk about titles, but you haven’t once told me why Hummels or David Luiz are better.

Since Koscielny has only won just one FA cup, do you consider him to be below the level of either Hummels or David Luiz?

Joachim Low : http://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/germany/world-cup/news/low-praises-sensational-hummels_163392.html
“He’s unbelievably important for us here,” said Roman Weidenfeller, a long-term team-mate of Hummels at Dortmund and Germany’s second-choice goalkeeper in Brazil behind Manuel Neuer. “He’s so professional in every situation and he always says what he thinks. He’s developing into a leader more and more and when you think that he’s now scored twice for us here in Brazil [Hummels was also on target in Germany’s 4-0 win over Portugal], that has helped him become increasingly important,” the 33-year-old said in an interview
Even Benedikt Howedes, captain of Dortmund’s arch-rivals Schalke, was effusive in his praise, exclusively telling FIFA.com: “We’ve got several leaders in this team but Mats has developed amazingly well and is definitely considered one of those players now.”
a player that his team mates and manager consider a fucking leader lol…..and according to you he is a donkey and dhjourou is better than him………

is he more technical than luiz?
is he more of a fighter than both?
has he won more at club, national, individual level ?
is he as versatile as the other two?
no to all of the above
yet somehow i have to tolerate cheap shots from a mug who dislikes luiz + hummels and his entourage ? …….
and if i dare fight my corner i get people telling me to move on ? …lol when its others insisting?

Otherwise, this is a fascinating discussion about CB’s who don’t play for Arsenal. But I am proud of Merts and Kos for doing well this world cup. I wish Merts had been picked ahead of Boateng for the last two matches, but he performed well up until Algeria, but I think he was exposed because Lahm wasn’t playing RB. Deschamps seemed to want to play Sakho ahead of Kos, but in fact Kos clearly played better when he got his chances.
