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 know the season isn't over but I wonder who you'd vote for as Arsenals 2nd best player this season.
(I'm gonna take it that we all agree that RVP is first)
Please post why you feel your chosen player is worthy of the trophy for 2nd place.
Vermaelen - He is a class player and goes about his job with very little fuss. He can score but i dont care about that, he is so assured and i think he has helped Koscielny massively by being relatively un-injured this season and has made Kos twice the player he was last season. Tommy is hard as nails and seems to care about Arsenal too which for me counts towards him being voted for
Szczesny gets my vote - kos would run him close but I do not think you can overstate the importance having a keeper the defence can trust and the confidence it gives them. Unlike some I have been slightly concerned about tv5 up until the last few games and he hasnt looked as assured imo but I am willing to put that down to adjusting to being put back in his proper position after being played at left back for a while

I agree with this even though i voted for Vermaelen. Its nice to generally not worry about the keeper with the likes of Almunia, Flappy and even Mannone in the first team for the last 3 or so years you forget what its like to have a good keeper at the club and at last we have Chesney, that can only help the players in front of him
Both TV and Shezza have made a few balls-ups that nearly or have cost us.
Think Kos has been pretty flawless.( Although he did play in the 8-2, but so did Shezza letting in those two free kicks)
then its a pick from Ramsay, Song or Gerv - any one of whom could be not missed whether they play or not. and Walcott only just missed being the last kid picked in the playground with this lot, due to the last five games.

LOL, you make me laugh - how can have GIbbs ahead of Song and Walcott, when he has missed most of the season
I am speechless. How the fook is Marouane not on the list. Marginally gets my vote ahead of Abou..........oh thanks for the injection Doctor, erm I'll give my vote to Laurent
