A very good player for us in the Championship, not good enough to make the step up, but he was an important contributor to our promotion-winning season and I'll regard him fondly.
Exactly. I don't agree with it and think they should be more patient (perhaps the harshest sacking was that of Ancelotti) but Abramovich isn't going to change and they consistently win trophies so it clearly works.
We'll get something from one or two games of Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool.
Stoke and Bournemouth at home are must wins, no excuses.
A couple of away wins at the teams around us and job done.
We won because we were positive, and we attacked with purpose. The manager picked an attacking lineup and he deserves credit for that. But one game isn't enough, there's still a long way to go. But yes, he has bought himself some time for sure.
Sanchez is an upgrade though. Same age too.
Win win for both teams really - Arsenal get rid of a player who didn't want to be there and now have someone who does.
