Stop the doom and gloom!

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.

1. Our balance sheet trophy
2. Our ambitious board
3. Our "Arsenal way" and the refusal to compete for meaningless things like top players and trophies
4. RVP (soon to be departed)
5. The guaranteed comedy value you get watching us defend
6. Per Mertesacker. Never seen anything funnier in my life than watching a slow giant constantly outjumped. I mean it, I'd pay to see him every week!
7. Andre Santos and his donut addiction
8. Arsene Wenger and his complete class when he loses. Credit to the club
9. Seriously, we have nice comfy seats at the Emirates
10. And seriously, we are still top of the league by alphabetical order come every July!!!

I don't mind reading a negative or pissed off post as long as it's well argued - too many on here just spout a load of tripe without the ability or intention to back what they have said up with a decent argument or opinion.

1. Still better than Tottenham
2. The Ox - Incredibly exciting talent.
3.Kos - Blossoming into a very good defender
4. Coquellin - Again a really exciting player for me. Incredibly competent
5. Atmosphere at the ground - for the first time this year we've had quite a few games where the ground has been rocking. Its great to be part of.
6.Steve Bould gives me hope that defence might be concentrated on a little bit more.

AND.......

7.Almunia is fucking off.

You could say the exact same thing about those with positive views!! :roll: The major difference is that whether 'tripe' or not, the former group have proven to be on the right side of the argument a lot more over the past few years!! :banghead: :cry:
