Re: Gibbs out for three weeks...

Santos is the single most unfit professional I have ever seen and sadly he plays in ouir team!! At the end of the game last night he looked like he had been playing for 3 days non stop not for 50mins. We need to spend and givent he medical failings we have Baines for £15m has to be done now. Sadly w...

Re: WHAT DO ARSENAL FANS NOW SEE AS FAILURE

It is a failure to challenge for any trophies. We have failed year fater year and continue to do so so despit always being told we have the strongest squad he has worked with each year. It is a failure of the management at all levels to address the problems we have on the pitch and to not pressure t...

Re: Striker impact

We should have got Ba, he spent weeks giving interviews on how he wanted to join us but still we did not react!! Giroud is a good striker but I would see him more of a back up to a world class forward especially as we only seem to be able to play one formation (even though it fails continually) unde...

Re: Give Sagna his wish and let him move on.....

I was just about to start the same thread!! He has been at fault for a number of goals in the last few matches and to be honest looks uninterested in playing. Given how well Jenkinson had been playing I would have expected a change to be made. If Jenkinson had put in these lame performances at right...

Re: The Lady Has Spoken

If she wanted money I am sure Usmanov would have paid far more, maybe she was duped in the same we have been and wants back in to make it right?

Regardless of this what more damning evidence we need to stage another protest and hopefully attract a huge attendance this time?

Re: For any remaining AKB...

Great link to an excellent article. It really is as bad as we all thought and probably even worse! I would like to say though that for all those people that knocked Pat Rice (he was there on the coaching staff under Howe and Graham so clearly knew how to coach a defence) I know he wanted to coach th...

How much longer can it go on?

Our worst start in nearly 20yrs. Its going to be 8yrs without a trophy (barring a miracle). A manager who has no idea how to coach a defence. A first team that has just lost to a league 2 side comprehensively. The same predictable subs at the same time regardless of what is actually happenning on th...

Re: POLL: Buy Huntelaar in January or Llorente in the summer

Why can we not sign both in January and start having some strength in depth and competition up front?

Wenger will probably sign neither as they are to expensive and he will find a £1m footballer in the French 3rd division who can do the job in his eyes

Re: The Coquelin/Frimpong/Yennaris - Who Will Make It Thread

I do not think that any of these are really regular starters at the level we should be trying to play at. Having said that I can only see Coquelin being given a real go as he is the most intelligent footballer of the lot

Jenkinson

I was not really sure why we signed him last year and although he did ok last year he was not anything special. This season though he is getting better every game he plays. Whilst I appreciate he still has work to do on his game he has really impressed me so far and I hope that long may it continue!...

Re: Aaron Ramsey

I agree with all of the points you have made here. People are far to quick to jump up and abuse him which is wrong when the mistakes he makes are identical of those around him. Given the Diaby injury (even the slightest thing keeps him out for a month at a time) it would seem Ramsey will be playing ...

Essien

I would have signed him in a flash!! Good enough for Real Madrid but not for us on loan or as a a permanent signing!!

Having missed out on De Jong already today surely he was a must given we have nobody with experience to play in this key role with experience in the Premier League?

Summer transfers

I am happy with the attacking signings we have made as we have at last signed some experienced players and not teenagers with the promise they will be great in a few years. This will hopefully prove useful as the season goes on although I would not mind signing another forward to give us a greater r...

Stewart Robson on TALKSPORT

I thought that he would be towing the party line given his job at Arsenal, but fair play to the man he has slammed Wenger and the club
