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.

He was right really!
On the incidents:
Song being the usual fucking idiot, should have seen red and will certainly now be done by the FA for 3 games. Dumb *word censored*.
Gervinho was unlucky, but you dont raise your hands. Barton provokes our players all the time, because IT WORKS. Fair play to Barton done what is needed for his team. He's a *word censored*, but he could have been ours.
Steven Taylor also a poisonous little bastard needed a good doing, but of course our little pussy players would do fuck all.
Hope the manager heard the chants against him, fair play to all. He now has a ready made excuse from the ref.
Fuck Wenger *word censored*.

Koscielny and Vermaelen, Kos in particular
Gibbs
Arshavin
Bad:
RvP didnt look fully fit to me
Gervinho's final ball was often lacking
Rosicky is finished so why is he still at the club?
Walcott didnt make enough of an impact.
We need a change to 4-4-2 and a new quality striker
Koscielny has had a very good game today and our central defenders haven't looked too bad.
BUT, we have nothing to link defense and attack. 4-3-3 depends on a creative, talented midfield. Villa-Boas knows it. Pep knows it. Mourinho knows it. Wenger uses Rosicky in that role.
...
PS: Fucking atrocious ball by Djourou on the break.
That is what Fabregas does which we are gonna miss big time. We need a special player in the middle but that requires a cheque book which the manager can't seem to find.
Exactly. Our two best players at this - Nasri and Fabregas - are out. We have added players to the front of our attack who can barely get the ball, except out on the wings with no one to cross to, nor pass into the middle to. Rosicky's early (pathetic) effort on the one-timer was a clear indication how shitty we are in the middle of the park. Pires and other midfielders in the past would have bombed that through the back of the net.

Had it been ANY other Arsenal player they would have provided Walcott with a decent ball.....
pps; Barton is a Complete and Utter CriminalCUNT
ppps What we saw today (they play - or lack of it) will be the format for the rest of the season...we are F.U.B.B

Also barton is just overrated guff, he along with parker, so they run around a lot and do what exactly?
Good news is defence decided to have a good day.
Top 4 here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you pissed mate... Newcastle are a shit side, our defence was hardly ever pressed today and will have harder tasks further along the line, two points dropped today in my book.

And that prick Taylor is just as bad, he's got previous for this kind of thing. He has acted like a prick in the game and in the interview tonight. We are not innocent (Song), but fuckin hell....man up Taylor.
Wenger you are a complete dick head. And the press are mugs for not asking more pointed questions instead of this shit. Put him on the spot for once. We want fucking answers
On the plus side, it was only Newcastle but at the back we were ok
On the negative side....ok first game of the season I know but it was just the same as always in terms of possession with no end product.
Rosicky has the ability to spin away from an opponent very well but can't do owt afterwards.
Silly foul Song still hasn't found his brain during the summer.
I'm sure the stats will show that we had more of the ball but if you can't do anything with it then what's the point? And whilst you're not creating you're always at risk of letting one in late on and with the free kick and corner at the end, we could easily have conceded.
We need special players to replace the skill of Cesc and Nasri......over to you Mr Wenger
