But it will only be a big game, like a derby in Manchester, Merseyside and North London. Cannot see the game abroad being something like West Brom v Swansea.

The English Premier League is the English Premier League and as such all matches should be played in this country.:(

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Exactly. No more games in Swansea! :D Seriously however the Premier League became a product a long time ago. If anyone still expects top-level football to be about the local fans rather than television and the global brand then this will help them wake up. You need to approach the Premier League for what it is, a commercial product for which you pay with your season ticket/subscription/shirt etc. I find the constant outrage every time the league suggests a plan to make money to be naive at best and disingenuous at worst.

l was going to mention Swansea but l wanted to be kind to our friends in Wales.:D

Arsenal seem to have this injury crisis year after year.

A blessing.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Why?.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

He shouldn't be playing out on the wing and theres a good argument that Cazorla has been playing better in the middle of the park.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Ozil has clearly been struggling to make an impact in this side but Wenger hasn't dropped him yet, probably hoping he plays though the bad form as Ramsey eventually did. Maybe a 3 month spell out of the team will help him come back stronger and clear his head a bit. Midfield is a position we have considerable strength in and, given our run of fixtures eases a bit now, we should be able to accommodate his absence.

Personally I am hoping to see the Ox play in the middle for a extended spell. Cazorla and Wilshere will see more starts as well.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Bar 1 game I haven't been impressed with Ox in the middle. I don't understand the hype around wanting him in that position.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Personally l don't think it suits him.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

makes sense

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

About time too.
