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 must be being used as a super sub
come on the OX though!
France dont look anything special apart from maybe Ribery.
Apparently England are 8 places above them in the world football rankings so it is like Arsenal playing WBA.
I thought you were pissing off for the summer? It's like the longest goodbye....... EVER!!!

Ok had a good game, defended well. A shame that everytime he got through France cynically took him down.
And without any yellow cards too which only encouraged more cynical fouls
that's what really annoys me about some referees they don't seem to understand the context of a foul, and therefore allow cynical fouls to go unpunished but go overboard on mistimed tackles and trivial confrontations and goal celebrations
After we played AC Milan at home OX should have started most games. Another error from Wenger but at least he managed to sign him I suppose.
Im a massive fan and he will lose the ball now and then but will get better and better very quickly. Walcott is still a good player but OX will take the pludits from now on.
Might help Walcott up his game but maybe will make him leave for some of that big 3 Billion money and a City or Chelsea style wage. Maybe 300,000 a week soon !
Our great white hope is turning into a Wengerball player- where has his final ball and direct threat gone????
This was always the fear right from the start, that he would be indoctrinated into becoming another wengerball android. Always thought it was one of the reasons he wasn't trusted more often last season - he hadn't been robotised enough yet.
I'll cling to the hope that it's just a case of a young player going through a prolonged patch of bad form due to flitting in and out of the team - which tbf I think is more likely at this point. The talent is undeniably there but sooner or later he'll have all individuality drained out of him at Arsene's London Colney Skillonic Irrigation Centre.
