we best all get used to feeling like this every sunday morning
there is no way we can keep up with top 3

we look so light weight its a joke, how the hell can wenger think by bringing players like song and bendnter on when we r lossing is gonna help i just dont no!!

if wenger can not see the obvious , then i,m thinking he may have had his time here, i think he is the best manager around but by arsenal the only team playing the USE YOUTH AND DONT BY BIG GAME, its just not working

1 week into the prem and we full behind already, we had 6 , easer games to start off, and we have lost already

bit of a rant but i,m getting sick of it allready

its a long season, yes we looked cack but it will be nice to come good in the season rather than fall apart in true arsenal style later on!

Yep

and Man U won't win the Prem after drawing 1-1 with Newcastle, their normal thumping boys, Liverpool's bad performances means they won't get in the top 3 so since one/2 games is enough to judge a team, who will be joining Chelsea in the top 3?

Magic if the sarcasm you are spreading about the last few threads is your way of cheering people up then is not working.

Not trying to cheer up, just pointing out declaring our doom is a little early.

Definitely right Magic.

Obviously the performance yesterday wasn't acceptable to say the least, but it was a combination of our absences and a bad day for most of our players (including consistent performers like Clichy, Sagna and RVP).

The central midfield pairing of Eboue (below par, even him) and Denilson was awful. Murphy was playing like a *word censored* (should've been booked twice in the first 10 minutes), and it worked perfectly.

It was only a bad day, not the end of the world. I'm sure Arsene is planning a signing, so either wait until he signs a player or after the transfer window ends (if he fails to sign anyone) before you slay him and the team.

But Daniel, what absences? you mean Cesc don't you...that's all.

I refuse to use the absence of Diaby, Rosicky and Eduardo as excuses anymore....we've known for months now that eduadro has had a broken leg, so we've had ample time to replace him.

Diaby, Rosicky (and RvP) have spent too much time on the injury table in the last 2 seasons, that it's not a good enough excuse anymore...no way, not anymore.

That team was close to full strength, and in the words of wenger, "Fulham wanted it more" - not acceptable by a long shot.

We have a gaping hole in the middle of our midfield, but whose fault is that? we've lost Gilberto, Diarra and Flamini, and replaced them with Ramsey (who he doesn't trust yet) and Coquelin...who are both just kids by the way.

And as for the prospect of a third successive season of having Gallas and Toure at the back....well, I'm not impressed by that one bit, and based on Gallas' pathetic marking on that corner yesterday, my fears don't seem to be too far off the mark, do they

The only good thing about yesterday's result is that it has happened so early in the season and therefore there is still time to address it. Imagine this happening in Feb/March???
Remember Man U's start last season where they only scored three goals in their opening 5 starts which inc 2 draws and a defeat and two lucky home wins over sp*rs and Sunderland.
I still think Alonso will be brought in as well as the possibility of another one (maybe a loan!!!) and with Silvestre, Fabregas, Diaby, Rosicky and Eduardo still to come back we will be fine come what May!!!!!

That's it.

Three experienced proven midfielders gone...replaced by two 17 year olds.

However good they looked in pre season, but they are 17, and there are two of them.

Centre back is a real concern.
