Can't believe you said that...
Non-Englishman gets bitter and twisted about Englishman going to World Cup.....who'd have thought it eh ?
Never mind - soon we'll be hearing the other myth about how the English media all think we're going to win the World Cup

And he's miles better than Nasri, not to mention the fact I doubt you'll actually find Nasri accepting he's a prick.
I feel like making a controversial opinion: 9/11 was bad.

Why?? He would be at his most saleable, and it would delay possible suitors from realising that he ain't very good.
If we get cesc back our midfield we be scary! Walcott, ozil, ramsey, cazorla, cesc, podolski (if he stays) ox, gnabry, flamini, arteta...that would be the best in the league!
Buy a proven world class forward as well and we'll win the league im sure of it!

A goalkeeper and your ten midfielders would be an interesting formation, but sadly doesn't leave room for a forward.

Ah the glorious 1-10-0 formation that Wenger has been working towards for 20 years. Someday, when the ignorant have truly become learned, it will be the standard in world football.

Our defence is bang on in my opinion. These big defeats have come from bad tactics, not bad defending..
Like i said, cesc and a world class striker...all we need.

We're about a week away from needing a new right back. Which means we'll probably need another centre back as Sagna was able to "do a job" there last season when needed. Not to mention the big possibility that Vermaelen will leave and we'll need a replacement there too! Other than that the defence is spot on
Bad tactics definitely root cause but bad defending too definitely! Agree that our defence was a huge concern but as Kiwomya said we now need a RB. And Wenger's recent track record of replacing established players in a prompt and effective fashion leaves a lot to be desired.
We obviously need a back-up GK although we could easily improve on Flappy. I'd also like a decent LB instead of that useless coward Monreal (particularly given Gibbs' injury record) but maybe I'm just greedy.

1989 - did you hack topcat's account?
Couldn't have as I'm not too keen on Cesc coming back.
Probably the best scenario as far as we're concerned: he's not going to a PL rival, and we won't be faced with the awakrd task of trying to fit him back in to the team.
Now let's concentrate on making priority signings, i.e., a striker and a DM.
