Mikel Arteta, success or failure? - Merged thread.

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.

Is Kalou still alive

Fuck me, I forgot about Kalou. That was terrifying because he was absolute crap, which always made me think that he'd typically be one that Wenger would land.
Yann m'Vila has just been seen boarding a plane in time for the 1st Jan transfer window opening

:barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf:

Higuain's medical now running into a 12th year

:lol: :barscarf:

Once we finally sign all those stars I’m sure we’ll manage to assert our illusory domination over everyone. Can’t wait.
We should offer £1 over the asking price for Suarez :barscarf: And then offer an extra 0p for Mark Swartzer(sp) :oops: Fucking quadruple will be ours then boys :barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf:

:lol: :lol:
Fuck me, they were highly embarrassing occasions. Peak Wenger.

I love this place. Kept me just about sane during those Old Fraud years.

Read it for a couple of years before I joined and then didn’t actually post for years despite having joined, but reading the posts by the boys on here was important. Until I found this place I thought I was the only Gooner alive that knew Wenger was washed up.

Mark Schwarzer’s medical has lasted so long that he’s officially qualified as a doctor.

Philippe Mexes Is on the verge of joining and this year might just be the year Arsenal land long term target David Trezeguet.

Absolutely mate. When Mike and Kevin set this forum up it was with intention that it would be a bit like your local pub where you could go to celebrate the Arsenal and have a good old moan with your mates.

I don't think they could have predicted that this would involve Robot Crunt Monkeys, bizarre spreadable butter obsessions, a bloke's girlfriend getting gang banged in Spain, dwarf and animal porn, tit threads, or a bloke taking photos of himself naked on an exercise bike!

Finsbury Park's girlfriend getting banged in spain was one of the funniest threads on here ever - poor b*stard put it up here looking for reassurance that he had nothing to worry about with his missus going on hols with her friends, and the poor fcuker never recovered from the stuff that got put up here about it :lol: :lol: Tbf to him he took it in really good spirits, while if you believe the others on here at the time, his missus was taking it every way possible at the time too :lol: :lol:
