As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
I believe that the difference between this season and last season is that when it looked odds on we would fail to get a champs league spot in jan we went out and bought arshavin and that and villas collapse allowed us to scrape 4th. This season if citeeh are in villas position in jan they will go out and buy 2 or 3 quality players that will blow us away and arshavin or no arshavin we will then be fucked If citeeh are in 4th in jan those top level players will def be more inclined to join them cos that all important champs league place would be close

We have 2 voters that are so confident in our team for next season that they voted for us to finish as champions but left no comment so are anonymous to us mere mortals (I'll bet the mods can find out who voted for 1st eh rebs ? )
6th, but all done with great belief, hunger, spirit and desire and the players will have learned a lot and it will stand them in good stead for every season that follows in the next 10 years.

You forgot to mention a new improved contract for our great leader for such an accomplishment.

No, that is conditional upon reaching the semi-finals of the Europa League, where we will trash the might of teams from Malta, Moldova, Austria and Norway, pointing to all sorts of statistics along the way about clean sheets and unbeaten runs..........before ultimately losing gutlessly in the semi-final against a Spanish/German/Italian team.
As recently as a few weeks ago I did n't think City would finish above us.
Now however i think we will finish fifth. If Arshavin is out for any length of time it could be even worse.
A few folk around here think wengers holding back spending the money till after the celtic game. But i would go further than that. I think we will have to win the champions league this year to be in it the next. In which case the £40-50 million left in his pocket this summer will be used to tide us over for 2 years instead of one.
I voted worse....on the basis that IF wenger doesn't add to the squad and continues with his failed policy.It's not just shitty but villa and everton who will aiming for that 4th place as there both came close last season but either bottled it or injuries to key areas put paid to them but i don't expect them to do the same......but hope there do!!!!!

I replaced the word IF with WHEN and voted the same way funny enough
Wenger got out of jail last season because Villa collapsed in the home straight.But none of the lessons have been learned,No quality keeper.No CH,No DM for the 2nd season running,no 20 league goal a season striker.How the fuck did we miss out on Huntelaar at 15m!!!!
We still have Denilson Diaby Eboue and Bendtner at the club that just about sums us up.
1.Chelsea-Havent lost any of their players
2.Man Utd- Best Pair of CH"s but will miss Ronaldo"s goals
3.Liverppool-Gerrard and Torres will get them to 3rd
4.Man City-Money can buy success and no european football to get in their way
5. Tight arse FC
