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 has to be tempted to play Vermaelen or Sagna at left back...
Santos was out of breath after 20 minutes on Wednesday, he was totally exposed by a lack of help from in front of him, instead of demanding help he moved in and played(tried to hide) as a third central defender, leaving an acre of space for the right side of their team to play in.
Andre Santos is a disgrace of a professional footballer. I don't care that he's been injured. He's seriously overweight and unfit by elite standards, and compounds this by using all his energy to recklessly bomb forward, leaving us shockingly exposed time and time again. And all he did in the opposition half was give the ball away and foul the defender.

•QPR have failed to win any of their opening eight Premier League matches. It's the club's worst start to a top-flight season since they failed to win in their first 13 matches of the 1968-69 campaign. They finished that season last and were relegated.
•They are winless in their last 17 Premier League away matches since a 3-2 victory at Stoke in November 2011.
•Only Southampton had conceded more than the 17 goals shipped by QPR and Norwich prior to this weekend's fixtures
SO IF I HEAR ANY FUCKING SHIT ABOUT THEM PUTTING IN A 'GOOD DEFENSIVE PERFORMANCE' IT SHOULD BE ACCOMPANIED BY YOUR RESIGNATION
Stevo the reasons you give above are exactly the stats that means we will lose this game,as i said b4 on here if you are a team who are going thru bad times in the league then arsenal are exactly the team u want to play

That was all well and good but kids are not easily pacified when they stuck on a plane that isn't moving for almost 2 hours
If they board the plane, and then announce a delay, they can welch out of paying you compensation which they have to do according to EU regulations.

Good news. Just hope they (Jack in particular) haven't been rushed back to try and deflect attention away from the general dissatisfaction at the club following the last two games and the AGM.
Anyone think it's a bit harsh on Jenko? I'm glad Sagna is back but dropping Jenko straight away when he's been one of the few that have performed ok seems harsh to me. Glad to see Walcott back as we do lack width in that starting 11
