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.
Rumours are its Odegaard, Gabriel and Tierney for me, not sure about his fitness though and he's quite quiet in the dressing room apparently.
Not in favour of a GK as skipper though he has the character.
I will defend Arteta on this point. The captain has let him down on the field and off the field on numerous occasions now and it can't carry on.
The problem as we've said above is that we aren't blessed with great choices. Most decent captains that I can remember have been centre halves or central midfielders as they tend to be brave as players and have a big influence on games. I'm sure people will point to great captains of the past in certain teams but I don't recall many great ones as keepers or strikers....
My eldest lad and the rest of his Gen Z mates are all going on about various Twatter sources saying that he's going to make Odegaard captain but I just can't see that......surely not? I know he has donned the band for Norway so I suppose not out of the equation.....but seems like a massive responsibility for a youngster still finding his feet
Stupid cùnt is sat there waffling on about "the leadership group".
And of course he mentioned Clive by name as part of that group...... he's gonna do it isn't he....
Reminds me of a certain someone not so long ago who talked about captaincy being "overplayed" and favouring "rotational leadership"........I think that was shortly before Almunia was made captain

One of the "reporters" pointed out this will be our 11th captain in 14 years.....

Most of them were cùnts.
Lets be honest, Auba received the "you're the best player, please stay" vote in the way that Henry, Fabregas and Van Judas did before him. He was never captaincy material.
The problem now of course is that we are looking at an injury prone Tierney or some relative novice to take on the mantle. When you think of captains past it really is a piss poor list
