Excellent; thank you very much for that.
Fuck me, how bad must Zaragoza be.

One question... why is it just The Gallas Derby, and not 'The Ade Derby'... or The Aderby as I like to say? or was he just TOO obvious?
:gallas:
Let's not start the Ade puns again.
They seem Togo on forever.
:ade:
I think it's quoted somewhere on this thread the Walcott has scored more of a percentage of arsenals goals than bale has of tottenham's. Yet he's no way near him on the list of goals that won points.
So does this mean he's one of those players who will forge a career of scoring the 3rd or 4th goals in a rout but when it comes to actually being relied upon to win tricky games he's useless?
Actually, that's probably more of a rhetorical question
There ye go, not more but damn close. [edit-it is more, what the feck was I reading :avbfacepalm:]
Walcott is excellent at scoring meaningless goals
EDIT - 'meaningless' is harsh; all goals are beneficial, just decisive ones more-so than others.
Only got to look at our hammering at their place. He scored when the game was all over, not the equaliser, the 2nd or the 3rd.
Could we just have Bale v Walcott 1v1 one touch game?
In other words, he's their Jermain Defoe.
I rated that funny, but it's funny because it's true
On another note, if Ade does score this weekend, he'll be approaching Rafa's record against them lot no? He's got 2 goals and 1 assist in 3 games. What was Rafa's? 3 goals and 1 assist in 4 games?

Didn't Rafa score twice in the 3-3? Last season at home and the penalty in the 3-2. Not sure about assists.
He'll get a hattrick but they'll already be 2-0 up by the time he starts scoring.
Exactly; the game I was thinking of when writing that post. The reason is simple. He's very, very fast and a decent finisher in right central positions. Perfect for picking off a Newcastle side at the Emirates desperately searching for goals, but not for picking open a tight knit defence when the scores are level.
Detailist
Forgot about the penalty in the 3-3, so that'll be 4 goals and 1 assist, the pass the Bale when he was running through at the Emirates in the 2-3.
What made Rafa's record so good imo was the goal per game ratio.
I think I might self-combust if Bale smashes one in from 25 yards on Sunday
