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.
Keep it up Chez. More performances like Craven Cottage and soon you can follow in the footsteps of Diaby, Denilson, Roshitty, Song and Bendtner and be paid mega bucks for being a loudmouth tool with a ridiculous salary and no medals to show for it....
Shame as the lad is well talented but at the wrong club and wrong manager for fostering a winning mentality. Ask Cesc.
He is a superb shot stopper and gets an awful lot of lee way for simply not being Almunia or Flappy, but his distribution is appalling and he is very suspect under crosses. He's extremely young for a keep and I have faith in him being able to improve these areas but he was thrown into the deep end far too early imo beacuse of the lack of any credible alternatives.
i don't care who he's banging or where he's going at night, as longs as he keeps himself fit and makes no mistakes.
ffs, our famous back four we all love and call legends would go out on the piss every fucking week!
he was to blame for our defeat yesterday, but considering his performances since he became our first choice keeper AND the fact he's acknowledged his mistake, i wouldn't be too worried.
he's a young keeper, he'll improve. he's a massive prospect, and whoever can't see that is very, very stupid.
Rodders I agree. Chesney has superb potential but needs a firm hand. He's big time Charlie with a loud mouth. He wouldn't get away with some of the shit he comes out with at a big club. He reminds me of Zlatan - except of course, Zlatan has medals to show for it and has had a career at the top...
He won't get the discipline at AW Crèche Colney so he'd get it elsewhere...
He could be a Great Goalkeeper if he had someone to show when to come for a ball and when to stay on his line.
If Flappy made the mistake that Chesney made Yesterday for Fulhams goal he would have 10 pages on here slating him
He was to blame for the defeat yesterday
He was to blame for the defeat v Spurs
He was the guy who will always be remembered for letting EIGHT goals in at Old Trafford
I reckon Almunia should be considered as a serious alternative should Wenger not buy another keeper this month. Almnunia's record is much better than Chesney's I'm afraid to say
I posted in the summer that we should have gone for Friedel, who would have been a great number 2 for us. (note he only initially went to the Spuds as a number 2).
I hope that Chez does improve, but Wenger has managed to create a squad where there's no competition as it may kill this player, or kill that player, the whole club needs to be swept clean of these wankers, who are happy to see out their fat contracts, sitting on their arse either on the treatment table or the bench. Competition improves players, this maybe where Chez fails as there's no one to push him at all and he remain at this current level for some time.

If I was made manager of Arsenal in the morning (if you think we're in the shit now... ) the first thing I would do is ban the players off twitter.
Too much giving it the big I am, from a group of players with not a fucking medal between them. Well able to talk the talk on twitter, unable to back it up on the pitch.

Flappy has made dozens of mistakes yet is still at the club though thats the difference
Seaman and Lehmann made mistakes but were great keepers.It cant help Szczesny having to train alongside the two clowns.He needs an experienced back up who can teach him.Whats he going to learn from Almunia and Flappy?
Scez has won us more points than he has cost us since taking over in goal.
He will however make mistakes due to inexperience, the proof of the pudding will be whether or not he learns from them.
If we see many more performances like last night, then I will have serious doubts. I think however, he will come good and our main worry in a season or two could be holding on to him, particularly with the current goalkeeping situation at utd and with czech's best days behind him.
