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's refreshing seeing how Donaldo's views have changed, perhaps current Wenger loyalists should take stock of their own blind loyality, swallow their pride and admit that Wenger is now a busted flush who should have gone a few seasons back!
With the utd game approaching and given current player availability, Arsene's team selection for this game will give an indication as to whether he has seen the error of his ways or as I expect remains "tunnel vision like". Firsrtly if Theo is fit he must be given his chance up front, rather than on the wing as we won't trouble Vidic and Ferdinand with crosses in the absence of Ade, and these two are much more susceptible on the ground, Theo picking up the ball and running at them or onto through balls from Fab (and maybe Ramsey or Wilshire) will be our best chance of getting something from the game.
This all however could be beside the point given our woeful problems at centre half with 4 centre halfs who can neither defend against high balls nor close down players running towards the penalty area, the game may already be up. In fact it's hard to make a case for any of them meriting a starting place on Saturday lets start with Gallas, he simply should never wear the shirt again so thats that "homesick for Chelski boy" out of the reckoning (everytime I open a newspaper he seems to be telling us how much better things where at Chelsea). Now for Kolo, I think Kolo needs a change of club to save his career, he was without doubt our worst performer last season typified by giving away numerous needless panalties and 3 shocking appearances against the Scousers at the end of the season. This leaves us with Silvestre and Johan, who I will plump for not on the grounds of ability but simply because they haven't done as much wrong as the other 2, a sorry situation indeed.
I myself live in Ireland, yet am fortunate enough to attend my fair share of games over the course of a season, but it is with trepidation that I will set off at the earliest of hours this coming Saturday, with the possibility of humiliation casting a dark shadow over any alcohol fuelled confidence, and the long hangover laden journey home on Sunday, then the moronic jibes form the armchair manure "fans" at work to look forward to on Monday. BUT YOU NEVER KNOW UP THE ARSE!

I love reading this forum.
So many peoples posts start out something like this, full of thought - hoping they don't get slagged off etc. etc.
I think it took me about 3 years to summon up the courage to make my first post on here.
Within a few hundred/thousand posts they nearly all degenerate into:
It's a libelous fucking lie, I have been anti-wenger since my first post. I'll have you for this flash you c**t
Hi everyone another new boy saying hello. Ive been reading the forum for a while and think some of the laughs, observations and arguments are great so decided to sign up. Ive been a gooner now for 30 something years after my dad made sure id never support anyone else. Used to be a regular during the late 80's and through the nineties home and away but due to a young family cant go to loads of games now (about 5-10 a season), still a silver member though.
Keep up the good work everyone and i hope i can join in and help along the way Cheers
