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.

At least I'm pissed now. Rosicky was good.
There really isn't that much positive to say about anyone else.
Sagna's fall was nasty (very dirty from Benteke IMO) he could well miss Fenerbahce and Fulham
Koscielny (pretty rubbish apart from the great tackle for a pen) is suspended for both
Obviously Vermaelen misses them too, Nacho isn't fit.
Selling clubs will know we are desperate and we'll overpay anyway.
Terrible close season fek up.
Hope the signings we eventually do make are worth the wait (heartache & dropped points)
An honest appraisal I'd say. Rosicky was head and shoulders above the rest today. Lord Wenger has allowed a situation to develop where after week 1 of the season we have no naturally left footed defenders available (assuming Gibbs out). The loss of Arteta for six weeks in possibly the most important role on the field leaves us looking awful at the back and we were wide open without him
Now its PANIC PANIC time because all of the top quality that was available has moved and we're now looking at fucking Michu for £20m. I actually think he'll struggle to get a dozen league goals this year and it will be just our luck that the Self Harmer will break our transfer record to get him.
Another paceless striker.....just what's needed....not
I bet you wished we had of signed Darren bent or remy now steve eh
Seems to be quite angry about the situation... What's the case with this blog, I've read somewhere in this forum that this blog is or has been quite positive about wenker?
Most of the positive bloggers have been cosied up to by the club in some capacity or other so have been very kid gloves when it comes to criticism.
Don't know if any have recently changed their tune.
Yeah, as officepest says Arseblog got buttered up by the club a few years back, offered perks etc. They even put the arseblog book in the membership pack a few years back.
Good morning!
can somebody please explain to me why Podolski is being added to the squad in the 94 minute of the game when Arsenal was 3:1 down? http://www.kicker.de/news/fussball/intl ... villa.html
is this because of running the clock down? I don't get it !

After yesterdays abject display how on earth will we attract world class players before the window shuts.
We will only get overpriced. overpaid players coming in for the wrong reasons at this stage. What top player is going to settle on the clubs ambition to finish in 4th spot.
Only hope is if any decent players are waiting to see if we qualify for the Champions League

I think this was hugely disrespectful to Podolski, he isnt worth playing when the game matters, but is worth playing when its over, in Wenger's eyes.
We've needed quality for a while. We now need bodies too.
Even if we go and buy the DM we need, we will still be reliant on Frimpong as backup.
We've out ourselves in a seriously exposed position.
BFG4 re: "worth playing when it's over" who would you have brought on for Sagna?
If you're saying you'd have brought him in earlier we'd have been down to 9 with the injury.
LOADS of mistakes have been made to put us in this position.
The three players subbed on after injuries were all pretty understandable.
IMO the problem was we should have more players available,
not how the available ayers were used...
