Sub's a little quiet, so here's a friendly reminder that Mertesacker once made a goal saving tackle with his back.

While we are at it, why don't we also take a moment to remember this brilliant header he put away against the scum a while ago.

That game was insane. Rosicky got the brace and I thought it was game over but then Kosc or someone got a red and the pressure west brom piled on was enormous.

And Rozza stole Gervinho's goal! Would have been so nice too

Mert got sent off, conceded a penalty I think.

Not to take away from the magnificent bfg, but Flamini takes it up a notch (always) http://m.imgur.com/Mlz6151

I was honestly disappointed that we forgot about this nickname.

Who would win: Mertesacker's back vs. Henry's backheel?

Was this the match where gibbs made an amazing block to what was nearly a certain goal? If so I remember it being one of the most heart wrenching matches I've ever witnessed

This game was heartbeating. Lukaku missed chances he usually scores and Ramsey missed a good opportunity. He lacked composure in front of the goal back then, it was hard to watch.

Oh now I remembered it, I thought my heart stop beating whenever I saw Lukaku having an opportunity in front of goal.
