  • However he will not be allowed to leave Arsenal until a replacement is found 
 

Liverpool are appointing Arsenal's lead doctor Gary O'Driscoll as their new head of medical services.

Arsenal, however, will not let O'Driscoll leave Arsenal until a replacement is found. The Gunners have already started advertising for the role as head of sports medicine.

I am fucking well excited by this, someone else spraying magic spray what used to do it at Arsenal, FUCK MY BOOTS

That's like saying because the Ox was shit at arsenal, he's shit here. The doctor doesnt cause injuries or prevent injuries by injury prone players. It's the collective team work that brings the benefits.

Ah, remember all the armchair experts who were convinced that the reason all our goalkeepers were shit was John Achterberg. They've been oddly silent recently, I can't imagine why.

Yeah, it was really weird to be wondering whether a coach was a bit shit because every goalkeeper he came in contact with became a laughing stock. Can't think why people would have had question marks. It was astoundingly clear given the competence of our past goalkeepers that he was brilliant all along.

Yes, it is weird that a bunch of people on the internet thought that they knew better about coaching than Jurgen Klopp, I fully agree. 

No, what's actually weird is that you've clearly never questioned or at least debated a decision a manager has made in football. The only supporter who has never done that. We all aspire to have your restraint and trust.
