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 think it will (and should) be Vermaelen. Had a half-decent run without injury at last last year, has made lots of noises about being AFC for life so not likely to follow RvP out the door (ha), one of the only players you'd say has some leadership qualities. Also the complete dearth of suitable candidates other than him.
I refuse to vote on grounds that said player will be turning out for Shitty/Chavs/Barca/AN other club with ambition(Not the slowly dying f***ing AFC) come 2013/2014 season.
Jack, bring some value back to the role, someone that will respect what it means to represent, van Persie was like this but his mind was made up before the season started I'm guessing, he always dodged the questions, we know why now.
Does it matter who our captain is? He'll be gone next year and we'll have a new one, rinse repeat.
Wenger is a disgrace for using the Arsenal captaincy armband as merely a tool to flatter wantaway players into staying put. Tony Adams and Frank McLintock once wore that armband, Arsene you twat.
i think the "whoever we name captain will be sold next summer" joke is not very smart to be honest - the truth is that we sell our best players every season, in the last two it was just a coincidence that our captain was also our best footballer.
i'd vote vermaelen and arteta (vice). hard workers, reasonable experience, and all that.
Wenger - he is being paid approx 7m a season so he is gonna have to start earning it cos he sure as he'll ain't doing fcuk all positive work as manager
