So far, so - hmmm.

8) My thoughts so far: At last, a system change and we ARE much less predictable. But, we must have plans B and C to switch to in games either because we must or because it can confuse the opposition. We have so many midfielders and yet we don't dominate like we should. I reluctantly look to Fab (wh...

A partner for Fabregas

Yes Ramsey in 3 years... He'll be awesome. We HAVE TO buy a partner for Fab. And, greedy me, I so want a 30-goal a season striker to play alongside Arshavin (and it isn't Theo). From all the goss it seems The Prof is almost exclusively seeking to deal with defence BUT do we want another season of wa...

Barca's youth policy won them everything!

:? Count how many of Barca's wonder side yesterday came through their system! Bring on class youth and your first team will thrive. Wenger knows. Wenger has invested in class youth and tomorrow looks very very bright. The important thing is to move them across into the top tier carefully and confide...

Ad-ebay-oh

Sorry Ade but no one pulls in the fans by slagging us off. I was ashamed of his rant since I am/was an Ade fan. Maybe he's just another attacking midfielder cos that's where he did most damage this season. Too many times he was stranded at the side outside the box with no shotting opportunityu. He s...

:shock: :? Thanks for an excellent piece which I have pasted to various Arsenal pals overseas. I rate Gazidis and think he can work well with the Prof, not rock the ship, guide essential changes well, manage the two new mega shareholders well. He clearly cares though seems to have dodged many key is...

Please Mr Gazidis, what can Wenger do?

:( Mr Gazidis, please have a quiet chat with Mr Wenger over organic wine and steamed salmon: please, please persuade him to buy experience for key places so that our team can avoid recent embarrassments next season. I wept openly at the poverty I watched yesterday. It was so obvious that we were juv...

:( We urgently need an appeal system with representation from a chosen member from a supporters' group. I could hardly get down Drayton Park when a group of Italians were pestering us for tickets for the Roma fixture! We passed several police officers but no one did a thing! Come on Arsenal. Get rea...

List the top Euro clubs. Shuffle. Put player X with club Y and write a tall story... Why play thiis stupid game? Becau...

Have you being watching Song at all? His contributions have improved enormously and he IS now consistent and has had excellent outings. Praise where praise is due. You sound pessimistic about the fringe crop showing huge commitment (diaby is far more reliable) and NOW is the time to praise and encou...

Song on song - again

:D Yes, Arsh was outstanding on Saturday (and but for those four stitches courtesy of Blackburn morons) he would have taken the pen). He has known skills and experience and is class. And that goal! But for me Song was MOTM because his excellent contribution was less expected. He ran and ran, tackled...

Result or performance?

:D Which Gooner would not be delighted with the win! Of course winning matters! BUT let's be honest: we were fragile at the back and weak in midfield. Bendtner was too often a rabbit in the headlights and van P must do something about his right foot... I wondered why on earth we didn't use Song who ...

:( I'm one of those who shouts myself hoarse during games and yes I'm VERY emotional and hate watching a shite performance.

I'm resigned and hurting

:( So after a sleepless night I realise that I have to think the unthinkable - we'll 'drop' from the CL. If so, I want a thorough clearout. Ade, Bendtner, even Van P can go while they are worth something - give Vela until Christmas to prove himself; Denilson, Song, Bischoff can go, even Rosicky if h...

Mega bucks buy tin; a quality boss and team buy silverware

8) The Kaka deal could change prem footie but I doubt it. Maybe the rich men's clubs could make a group of their own, sit out the season in Dubai (yawn yawn) and win their group on the most money spent, not points won for playing footie. And I DO think Kaka is just about passing his prime. Take the ...

Atmosphere

:oops: It's only WINNING SILVERWARE that will change things. Deep in our red hearts the Emirates has generally been a venue of pain and no gain. AND we have to have players who excite us so that we chant their names again and again in clever songs. When did we chant names before or durig a game exce...
