Thats that then Def another medicore season where we finish fourth because bloody wenger wont spend money on adding more depth to the squad was watching sky sports news with any hope of any news and still watching to see if hes sneaked someone in under the radar but starting to look like stubborn wenger wont add which makes me angry I have grown incredibly frustrated with the lack of ambition shown at Arsenal and if we dont win a trophy this season which I reckon we wont then im not the only who will be calling for his head
what promises would those be, gunnerboy12?? And anyone who calls Arsene Wenger a “tool” is a tool themselves. I’m sure you’d all be welcome at any Man City forum or blog. And if 4th place is mediocre then what would 8th place be?
the reason wenger didnt or hasn’t spent is because of reyes
we payed over 22 million for him he turned out sh**
wenger made an error and has suffered the consequences.
he doesn’t want to make the same mistake.
Arsene knockers – be fair to the man. Yes we could do with another player, he knows this. Just check what he was saying over the last few weeks. He thought he had a deal going for Alonso, and changed his tune when the Barry saga fell through. It isn’t that he didn’t want someone, but he didn’t get his man because Benitez isn’t in charge of his own transfer policy and O’Neill is not a man to be messed with. If anyone can deal with the problem it is Arsene.
i dunno if uve been in hibernation dude… bt wenger has ben speakin of buyin a new CDM all summer…the fact that the heading of the thread is “well… thats that den…” tells u evry1 was expectin a new signing ….. and as for ne1 being welcum at oder forums… ive seen the forums of jus abt evry big team… and the most frustrated supporters happen 2 b us gooners…. mebe dat tells u smth… or mebe ure jus 2 blind 2 c…..
wow! ! ! !iv seen some shambolic, tardy,misery stricken web-pages proporting to host arsenal ‘supporters’….. but this wins the award for shittiest everything really……..
an look at some of the comments from some of these plebs ! !
miserable cunts ! !
support wenger and arsenal an stop shitterin on,, r else fuck off down the spurs
mediocre by our standars 3 season is a long dry spell we need to win silver ware all this talk about a team for the future but that seems to all way be a day away we need a team for now we have 3 years buliding a team for the furture the furtures here and it chelsea and man u I mean even city have more ambition shaun and rob I mean come on
while i don’t share and entirely disagree with the doom and gloom merchants i did find today unbelievably frustrating. what annoys and worries me is that i think we’re an experienced CM and a tricky wide player away from a trophy-winning SQUAD. what we have right now is a TEAM that, if constantly fit, could win things but inevitably we’ll suffer injuries and suspensions and i think we’ll fall away though still finish top 4. there comes a point when you have to think arsene’s principles have become bloody-minded stubbornness. if we win the title this year it will be his greatest achievement and one that will go down in history as a victory for his belief in youth. however, if we don’t it could go down to him not getting off his high horse and realising that modern-day football is very different to how it was ten years ago. tv deals are so astronomical that prem clubs will spend silly money on transfers and wages and he should accept and go along with this.
I love Mr Wenger but his stubborness in not spending significant sums of money is pathetic & it’s deceitful of the club to have sold the move to the Emirates to fans on the basis that Arsenal could & would compete big in the transfer market. We clearly missed out on big prizes last season simply due to the lack of experienced depth in the squad but the lesson has not been learned & it’s Groundhog day again !!
how has wenger not brought an exprienced cm, all of these ppl complaining we’re moaning at wenger…are u not thinking the one transfer that he promised us was mikel fkin silvestre????????? we shud be looking to win the league not be thinking oww 4ths better than 8th ffs!
Natsteel!! Please shut you rubbish bin up! Wenger is a ledgend nothing to say! But his days are gone… We need new manager… We need at list another 3 players to compete with our rivals… And all what i can see at the moment is maximum 5th or 6th place in EPL! It that GUnners! Thnx Wenger! Fooking b.a.s.t.a.r.d
While this french wanker is in charge of Arsenal, we will carry on losing our best players and winning sweet FA, lets make it clear when we next play at the emirates and call for him to get OUTTTT!!!!!
I wanted AW to sign some depth to this squad, but he has so much faith in this team he must believe whole heartedly. I will support whatever Gunner’s team trots out there as a true blue fan should. Screw Man City and their Robinho deal, screw Man’Ure and their Berbaslop deal, I’m a gooner and I’ll take whatever this squad gives me. Now don’t take me for a backwoods-waternecked retard or something, I want them too win, and too win it all! Everyone needs to stop moaning about not getting this one or that one, in the end bitching about does no-one no good at all, you can’t change it so why blow on about it, right! So support this team, get behind them and take off your panties and be a man (only for the weenie winers)
You w*nkers don´t deserve Arsenal . You can be dissapointed but you are a spineless git if you throw in the towel before a ball has been kicked.
I´m actually happy that some of you are this upset because all that you deserve is being miserable if you can´t appreciate what Wenger has and is doing.
Man City is the flavour of the month, why don´t you rejoice at your new signings, because while Arsenal do the talking on the pitch, it´s evident that signings are more important than trophies to some people.
There is always a chance we’ll find out by tomorrow that he has signed someone, but even if he hasn’t we shouldnt ignore the fact that he might have tried.
While any sane person wouldn’t refuse the overtures of arsenal, many footballers are certifiably mental. Wenger may actually just have failed in attempts to sign someone.
Either way it does feel a little poorly planned, but we’ll have to wait and see what the prof has planned.
AH, stop the crying, our team is good enough! Wenger said it had to be the right player, no? forget Robhino and focus on our players, the fact that Eduardo, Diaby and Rosicky are to come back.What about Vela, Wishire, Ramsey and Song who havent played much? I could care less about another team!
Im not usually one for contributing to these things but you’re all being silly. We have an excellent squad and will certainly push for honours this season. All you divs who say ‘buy buy buy’ don’t seem to know what you are talking about. Buy who? If the player isnt better than what we already have then what is the point? In no way do I want the arsenal conducting themselves in the transfer market like city, spuds, united, liverpool and chelsea. It is a waste of time and money. We are doing it the right way…believe…besides we will probably reveal a new signing in the morning anyway…remember the 3.40 announcement of diarra last time round? Even though he did turn out to be a dolphin headed dick. Chins up and all that. The only reason I feel remotely disapointed is due to the christmas day factor…selfishly wanting a gift just because that s what happens…Im sure we all remember however getting those gifts that made you think ‘what’s the point?’. We have a wealth of talent who are growing together not just sticking around for a season and then fucking off (flamoney and hleb aside).
You heard it here first (although you probably thought it already) but this will be cesc’s last season. Cheers little fella but i dont blame you for wanting some trophies mate, good luck wherever you go next season matey.
Surprise! Surprise! Deadline has gone and nobody coming in – another year where Wenger has made a profit on transfer deals. We have a smaller squad than last year so our only hope is to try and retain a top 4 place to get Champions League football next season. With Spurs and almost certainly Manchester City breathing down our necks – this reliance on youth players and no experience will be our eventual downfall. Fabregas,Sagna,Cliche (and possibly RVP and Rosicky if they stays clear of long term injury) are our only quality players – the rest of our squad are very ordinary.
Well i for one am gutted i stayed up all night watching sky sports news and yet again the lack of ambition shown by arsenal astounds me. Every football fan can see we have a wafer thin squad and need some depth desperately. but wenger says we are fine… im very disapointed!!!
hopefully we will hear something in the morning as arsenal are always quite about there transfer dealings……. my fingers are crossed!!
I am disgusted with Wenger. He always says he will sign someone then does bugger all. he needs to work out some serious answers to the endless critics that will come his way, and not the usuaal pathetic excuses we are so used to hearing. In Arsene I do not trust!!!
Nada, Zilch, not even a fringe player, im sick of these lies, spare season ticket up for grabs if anyone wants it, paid for with blood and sweat and all i got back was lies and pretty triangles on the pitch, Wenger from being in a great position to dominate the epl you have started to take us backwards, you dont even try to appease your supporters.
I must admit I’ve been partially expecting this since I read Clichy talking about how we’d be fine without new signings. It’s almost as if the lad knew that those we were after were not going to arrive.
The problem is we’re in international week, so our boys don’t have the chance to whip someone and show all these doomers that we’ve actually got a cracking side.
The players now need our support, plus the religious among us might want to pray for the health of one Cesc Fabregas. Please don’t let him be injured. Ever.
Football Manager the real world isn’t. Wenger’s probably tried his guts out to get someone, but hasn’t found the right player to be available. I bet he’s more disappointed that any fan.
Man U make another signing they are not being complacant again they show they will do what it take to win when they want someone they get him and lets be fair winning the double and back to back title is a good return on investment for the club and fans
Damn. Hey I think Wenger is a great manager and we’d never have got this far without him, I want him to stay for another 5. But in my view, I think he needed to buy a centre mid, if not to improve the squad but to at least take the pressure off of him and the team. Mind you though, if Arsenal do play with the constistency I know they can, he could just prove everyone wrong! If he does get the League or champions league, he be hailed as a hero. Fa Cup hell be ok. Carling Cup mostly ok. But if its another trophyless season, I think the headhunters might start coming out in force… Good Luck Wenger and come on Arsenal!
And when arsenal start winning these are the same fans that go wow arsen is great.
How many seasons has arsenal signed big names?! If you very bad arsenal fan’s relise arsenal bought three defensive midfielders this transfer window. Normal arsenal buys.
i do think it sent out the wrong message watching the reserves while we all hoped he would be doin all he can,afterall fergie kidnapped berbatov! he could of at least watched it at home on arsenal tv and told us he was tryin to sign kaka!
It’s all clear to me now. We should hand over management of the club to all the folks here who are calling for Wenger’s head.
They are obviously all far better qualified to lead us to trophies. Their combination of footballing strategy, charm, wit, and grammatical skills, blended with their calm intelligence is just what we need.
very frustating to say the least. Regardless of who we think we do need or don’t need, the fact remains that we do not have the depth in our squad to compete on all levels. We may have the youth, but how often does the youth outplay the experienced million pound players? is arsene’s philosophy but create, develope and have the finished article more so than buying all the players when they are at their best and putting them all together. Being an arsenal fan is hard work and it seems to be getting harder by the year. We all have belief, want to win etc…but like the manager says, he is not willing to win at any cost and he will/would only buy a player that can add to what arsenal is about. Remember, arsenal is different to all the other clubs out their, in that the manager has created something special, what i call ‘football’. So theres no need in getting your bra’s out moaning, yes, we could add quality at a price, but the proof will be in the pudding. Lets just sit back and see how we go this season. You have to admit, couple of games in and although we are shaky in departments, we do look pretty tasty…
I’m not calling for him to be sacked heck no body is better than him in my view however I just asking to win somethink big differents and is wanting Arsenal to win a bad thing
hey wenger say’s hes building for the future, yer the future of playing in the championship with kindergarden kids, he’s a joke, everyone one knows our squad needs good players instead we get players that are half fit or not even played no more then one game for their previous club like BISHNOFF, who the fuck is BISHNOFF!!
With all our squad being fully fit all season long, as per usual, it will not be a problem – especially as there are no absurd international matches coming up.
what the F, i was hoping for one decent arival- i got silvsetre? Though Wenger knows what he’s doing- arsenal were like this last season- incredibly critizced for wenger lack of adding big names to the club- but they somehow shot through- we just have to keep form- keep consistant- i think arsenal are going to surprise alot of people this season- they showed this at newcastle- nasri is twice as good as hleb- and with rvp in top form- fabregas just does what he does- which is excellent- even eboue is playing good- what an assist. especially walcot he’s a whole new player this season- we have a very good side
Its typical knee jerk reactions, calm the fu*k down. Its likely Arsene DID at least attempt to sign players and used the drama over in Mancland as a welcome distraction. Did we know who eduardo was when he signed him? People were still slagging him off after that signing.
Arsene wont buy for buying sake. If they are not BETTER than what we have, why would we want them?
If you are a true fan, get behind your team and manager and wait until tomorrow…
All the deals haven’t been announced yet, so all the fucking idiots sounding off should shut up and wait. Even if we don’t sign anyone or no loans come in, then it still doesn’t mean we won’t do well. It will be fustrating, but we will get over it and cope. True Gooners never fucking give up.
Christ almighty!
So fucking negative!
Why will we not challenge again as we did last year?
Nasri looks more effective than hleb, flamoney just ran around a lot (admitedly very well) but can be replaced with diaby, denilson song etc. Then in a ddition we have RVP back, eduardo to return along with rosicky and carlos vela who we didnt have last year. Also rambo and little jack can do a bit of a no fear job. From where im standing we are in fact stronger than last term…but oh no you have to spend 20 mil on lumps like gareth fucking barry to win trophies! It is late mick but i am very much awake looking with great anticipation and excitement towards blackburn. Just you wait and see.
One last comment. What is it that AW does so wrong other than not buying enough players? Our style of play was probably the reason most of you started following Arsenal in the first place so our style of play isn´t the reason.
I´m fucking sick to death that AW gets all the stick for every God damn thing when he´s the best thing to ever happen to this club. The most sickening thing of all is that if you gutless pile of scum gets AW to resign, the real fans are the ones to lose out, while you leave to pastures new once more.
Can´t believe the amount f dog sh*t the lot of you are coming up with, sounding like your ignorant views really matter.
Don´t let your views get into the dressing room because it will have an impact on the players and staff and will only help our rivals.
Get behind the team or get out, that´s my 5p on this matter, but it´s the almighty doom merchants who know it all isn´t it?
If yourdisgusted with everything keep it to yourself because when people start booing our own players at games, something is truly wrong with our fans. We´ve always been a whineing lot but before AW we were known as the antithesis of positive free flowing football. Know we are the masters of the beautiful game and I´ve been a fan long enough to take pride in the way we play and be happy that we follow a team which goes against the stream and does it bloody well without superstars or bottom-less pockets.
See how fortunate we are before it´s too late because eventually our manager will be fed up with the lack of loyalty your showing him. If I was AW I had moved on long ago because frankly I´d be seriously p*ssed off if I´d been in his shoes.
Remember wenger said they would be staying up all night if they had to.Remember when we signed Diarra noone knew before early in the morning.If he fails to sign one or two he has got to be the most tight fisted manager in history.
i know prices often come down a bit on the last day and all, but if wenger actually had a list of potential players, why didn’;t he go through the entire list trying to sign each one weeks ago? maybe we got someone anyway, but it;s a bit stupid being so half-hearted in the transfer market until the final bloody day because if stuff falls through then you’re fucked.
why weren’t we trying (and failing) to sign inler a month ago? and as soon as he rejected us why weren’t we closing in on whoever’s next on the list the next day?
like i said if we don’t have anyone new, ok, but if we tried to buy someone and it fell through on the last day i’ll be really pissed off. this shit could have been happening AGES ago and we shouldn’t need to consider this now. it’s not like we’re likely to be buying an overly expensive or famous player anyway, so it shouldn’t be SO hard to get the transfers all done at a reasonable time rather than so fucking late.
on 02 Sep 2008 at 12:51 am95It's the arsenal way - calm down
hey, check it out. Every other team on the planet but the best players they can afford. No manager on the planet does what wenger does with the results he has. If you speak to any other fan of any club, they will all say the same. Arsenal are a great team, play great football but fall at the final hurdle due to one thing or another. As much as i would like us to win every four king cup out there. If we buy our way there it would be shyte just like Cheski and ManPoo, oh and ManPity too…keep up the good work manager, keep football real and alive and keep giving the youngsters the cahnce to shine. If wenger was to follow all the other managers then football would go tits up. More money = more titles = Shyte!!! its pee’s me off, but wenger only needs a couple more sandwiches before be finally becomes a full picnic…
ah well we have to look at wat we have an by my reckonin its a great bunch of players with still the likes of rosicky an eduardo to come back, so mr wenger mightn’t an i stress mightn’t have strenghtened the squad but he brought in nasri (fantastic so far) an as for wat we lost in the way of hleb an flamini well fu*k them they didnt want to be there an thats there lost “COME ON THE GUNNERS”
I don’t know why Wenger is behaving like this. I agree with him that he has good players but it is obvious that we missed on the title last season because of injuries. For Wenger to really have said last season that we need two or three new signings and do almost nothing about nothing about it is unbilievably an act of stubborness. Especially when you consider the fact that we lost three experienced players, the equation should become SIX or 5 new signings because at the time he made that observation Hleb, Flamini and Gilberto were not known to be leaving our club. It really strange that he has not bought a new player. It is now a problem because we know HOW wenger reacts when it comes to buying a new player. We did BUY Sagna and he improved our squad. We have BOUGHT Nasri we all can see what he is doing for us. So why is Wenger offended evrytime the word BUY is mentioned?
Just to shed some light on the situation… When has Wenger ever signed a massive name player for big cash? And Have we had sucess before? Admittedly Im a little gutted but to be honest Im looking at it and Im thinking. Flamini and Hleb are gone, (Gilberto looked rusty for us the whole year). I think that NAsri is by far gd enough to step into Hlebs boots and do even better! Also, remember that van Persie, Rosicy and Diaby were struck down a long time last season. I believe if Diaby stays fit that we ther havlayer capable of taking the Premership by storm. I feel that those freinge players in the squad will step up and give us the extra depth needed!And Remember, all our squad have one more year of expirience and are one year older!!! Yes, I believe we could have done witha coupple of signings, but as long as we arent disastrously unlucky with injuries, I think we could still put in a decent challenge!
Time to end all speculation… After the reserve game earlier tonight, news came through that Arsenal have indeed signed Alonso. The deal has been done in tight circumstances, and over-shadowed by the arrival of Robinho to Man City. Expect BIG headlines tomorrow morning!
i agree people should calm down we’re not fucked. but even sensible people here will admit we needed a dmc. wenger is a genius talk of sacking him is ridiculous but he shouldn’t be free from censure he has made a mistake in not signing a midfielder
most of you lot that are saying get rid of aw or saying he dont know what hes doing .. yur all fuking idiots and not even true surporters …
i bet you aw has sum1 but it hasnt been released yet so dont give up hope… even if he didnt sign eny1 we will still cum in top 4 again.
It`s fashionable to be late as every socialite knows but it can be overdone. Once the party is in full swing and the champers start to take effect nobody gives a shit whether you`re there or not. Arsene seems to get a kick out of making the other guests wait.
As for me I`m into my third glass of bubbly.
Anyone that wants Wenger out is a complete cunt!!! Yes it would have been nice to sign a couple of players but I don’t think we are desperate. Lets not forget we signed Nasri who is much better than that over-priced money grabbing rat Robino. Ramsey who Man Utd tried to get and we also got back Carlos Vela and Johan Djourou.
The best thing about this transfer window is we have got rid of two liabilities in Senderos and Hoyte. That is a + in itself.
Lets get one thing clear! We have Fabregas, Diaby, Song, Denilson, Ramsey all fighting for 2 positions in the centre of the park. If we signed Alonso how would Ramsey or Song ever develop. If We had a policy of signing big names then we wouldn’t have given Fabregas a chance! Yes are midfielders are young but either Diaby, Song, Denilson or Ramsey will become big players given a bit of time so stop fucking moaning.
Almunia
Sagna Eboue
Toure Djourou
Gallas Song
Glichy Silvestre
looks like we have lost Cesc Fabregas because he said if we dont win trophys this season he will leave the club and we have no new players brought in we wont win anythin this season
EL tommo? A man city fan ay? If you are… Then WHAT WAS IT YOU SAID LAST SEASON? WITH THAKSINS MONEY YOU’D CHALLENGE MAN UTD? OH YH WHER DID U COME? MID TABLE MEDIOCRITY. EVERY1 SED WE WER GONA STRUGGLE LAST SEASON, WE GOT 3RD AND GAVE MAN UTD AND CHELSEA A RUN FOR THEIR MONEY. DONT GO SHOOTING YOUR MMOUTH BECOZ IT WIL BACKFIRE
No but seriously. That Alonso rumour might be true after all, my mate just called me saying his dad ,who is a taxi driver
just saw alonso outside the emirates.
We’re doomed now that it’s confirmed we’ve not signed Nathan Ligament from Vienna Schnitzel FC. You should have seen the videos of him on YouTube.
Without this signing it’s clear that Wenger can no longer be trusted. I’ve had Ligament in my Fantasy Fussball team, and Champignonshop Manager computer game for yerz, so I now hope to be chosen as the next manager when Fat & Orange turn us into a rich mafiosi’s plaything.
Fabregas, Van Persie, Nasri, Adebayor, Clichy, Sagna, what chance do we have with people like them?
I must let all of you know, that I have not signed anyone this Summer, although I can confirm the loan of Geremie Baladeaux from St Ettiene, the lad is 18 and has potential to cover for the first team.
I hope you all sleep well knowing the signing of Geremie
I know we have a decent squad and believe that they are a lot better than the way they have been talked about,saying that i cant help feeling gutted watching sky sports news, Wenger going should not even be thrown around is ridiculous who could ever replace him! Although i can understand some fans frustration getting the better of them i do believe that if it is the case we have not signed anyone it is another battle for 3rd place and a hope of a run in the champions league,We are a bigger club than that just hope it all comes together now lets get behined the squad and behined Wenger and forget about what we dont have and concentrate on the team and players we have at our disposal
Good man Frank!!
Why the hell are you lot bitching about what AW is doin in the transfer market. AW knows what hes doin, hes proven it for years. He gets to see the team day in day out and he knows if we are short, he know what we need, he knows what the team can really do. You all have a faulse sence of security in sighnings rather that thinking of how sucsessful we are clearly capable of being and the great football we have the pleaser of seeing every week with what we have now all due to Arsene Wenger. True Arsenal fans have morals and beleif in AW and the team. So why dont you money grabing, faithless, arsenal fan wannabes go join that money greedy, shallow, bullyish, boring, shite of a club called Manchester United or Chelski or Manchester city as they are the ‘transfer kings’ now ….IN ARSENE WE TRUST……remember it fool!!
alonso deal is done, infact is was done a few hours before the deadline. i was at underhill and steve bould was there he confirmed it with someone in the crowed,i guess he new him o something, and word go around fast.
its probably not been anounced yet becuase the berbatov robinho stories been all over at the moment.
hes not the best choice but he is good. having two playmakers is stupid imo, we needed veloso imo a tough taclker and out and out dm but alonso is great non the less.
wenger why are u doing this to us again atleast u shld hve bought atleast a midfield player. 4 christ sake this is not ur money so why are u so stingy about the whole thing atleast put ur fans into consideration. wat if the injurd players fail to recuperate or there is a injury re-occurence jst like last year, wll b left wth just 13 players to play the season again. whn wll u learn, or wat d hell are u trying to prove 4 for d past 3years{trophiless}.imagine letting go 5players and bringin in 4, 2 of which are injurd.WENGER, MAY GOD HELP U!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi my mum is a cunt and so is Alex, I made a big mistake! fuck UTD I wanna join Arsenal FC.
Tottenham was the biggest joke side I ever played for.
Mind you I am extremely over-rated and will score about as many goals as Wayne Rooney this year!
Guys don’t worry! You see Rafa buys like mad to keep Liverpool happy! But you should be happy wenger is influenced by that silly media shit! Wengers been at the top edge of the game for over 10 years so he knows what hes doing! id rather get no1 the panic buy for 20 million!!!
El Tommo you’re a disgustingly low human being. Fuck off back to shite heart lane u cock. Your football knowledge is abysmal!! The only thing that’s 8th is me. I’m 8th in line to fuck your mum up her arse right behind the jamican athletics team. Pussy!
We might not have signed because we dont need to. Diaby will be back soon. Denilson plays well with Cesc so not too much to moan about.
I would have liked a loan signing of vieira for one year to give AW time to look for a perfect replacement but its not too bad.
All these teams that spend loads doesnt mean shit. You can only play 11 players and our 11 is just as strong as any of the top 4. Yes, we might struggle if CESC only gets injured but other then that we will be fine.
All of you relax – Wenger knows best. Just have a little faith in the professor…
Marv tha’ gooner… yeah but do you not think we over achieved last season and because of that our expectations are higher than they should be,do you not think it will be tighter between us and liverpool this season considering how chelsea and man u look although its early days?
“Last year it was at midnight – and we are ready to stay up all night this time if it is needed. We have still a long time to go. We are out to look, if we find the right players we will do it, one or two” (Wenger)
hopefully something will be confirmed in the next few hours!!
Look at it this way lads, it took wenger 4 season to find a replacement for PV (Flamini), so we only have to wait that long again for wenger to see how important that type of player is.
Wenger could have eclipsed Ferguson as the greatest managers ever in the EPL, Instead he acts like a stuborn ass because he sticks to policy. Its admirable that wenger does that but there comes a point when the end result needs to be looked at.
We build the likes of Flamini and Helb up only for them to leave, is it really worth showing loyalty to players these days.
Another trophy less season, but cheer up lads we stick to policy. Its pathetic.
cant actually believe how tight wenger is!..it doesnt matter who you buy..any1 half decent is better than eboue in midfield is he plays against any half decent team in midfield we have absolutely no chance!…arsene has really dispointed and let me down in his stubborn attitude
Arhhh! Last year they had their fingers on the trophy if not for the lack of depth. Van Persie gets nicked up all the time. Bentner lacks the quality of a top striker. Eduardo out.. Rosicky Out (another injury guy). Vela unproven. The best thing would have been to lose or tie Newcastle that would have forced his hand. we may develop players but if they don’t stick around long enough to win hardware whats the point. Nasri looks good but add one lose two (Hleb / Flamini) An injury to Cesc, Gallas or Adebayor and the season is done.
May I refer you to my post of 28 hours ago (See Next 27 hours below).
1. The GREAT news. Van Persie is fit.
2. The NOT SO GOOD news. We’ll be “nearly” men again this season.
3. The MUST HAPPEN news – Goram Inler, He and Cesc? Heaven made.
4. The PHILOSOPHICAL news. The youngsters will come on a ton.
5. The BEST news. The Youngsters will win everything in 2009/10.
NEXT 27 HOURS ARE SILVER CRITICAL (From 28 hours ago).
The shutters will thunder down exactly 27 hours from now to mark the closing of the current transfer window. These hours are critical for Arsenal in two respects.
The first has nothing whatsoever to do with the window and everything to do with RVP’s ankle. If he’s fit, the silver dream lives. If he’s not, the squad isn’t strong enough for a challenge of invincibles proportions. Sure, we’ll score quite a few. We have some great strikers who can play off world class colleagues. But we won’t have that extra bit of something that true world class players bring to a team. In Robin’s case, the ability to score, link the mid-field to the attack and hit dead balls better than anyone on the planet.
The second has everything to do with the window. AW has two choices.
– Add at least one quality mid-fielder and drive the dream.
– Don’t add, develop the youngsters, and replicate last year’s “nearly”
Both are not on the cards. If it’s the latter, we fans will need to have faith in the future as yet another year slips tantalisingly past without trophies to show.
A midfield comprised of any combination of Eboue, Walcott, Cesc, Nasri, Diaby, Denilson, Wilshere, Ramsey, Song, Djourou, Rosicky, will do OK. Just OK (assuming the latter two are fit for ~80% of the time). There isn’t one permutation that will elevate them to world class this season. A buy is a must if we’re to compete to win the trophies we all want this time around.
go to bed over there, it’s only 8pm here so I’ve got some time too go…. Stop the Alonso BS ppl, he isn’t even a DM you wankers, and I’m not even lymie…:0)
I was told earlier that Alonso had been seen at the Emirates, but I choose to ignore it. I think we have just got to accept the building of the stadium and the redevelopment of Highbury has left us deperately short of cash. Perhaps AW was preparing us for it when he said we had to raise £24million per year for the next 17 years!!
My eyes may be deceiving me, but I thought I just read “The best thing would have been to lose or tie Newcastle that would have forced his hand.”
I’ve heard it all now.
The boys should have played badly, so that it would be clear that they weren’t actually as good as they are, and then all the whiners here would be proved right.
alonso would be a good signing for anyone as long as they needed a playmaker, we have cesc. in someways he is a holding midfielder but not the type we needed. we needed a tougher, player who gets stuck in, someone in the mould of veloso or momo sissoko.
I can confirm that my aunties, cousins, sisters, boyfriends, uncles, little brother is Xabi Alonso and he said he saw elvis and 2pac leaving the Emirates and He was arriving. And they just brought Arsenal and 50 Cent is the new CEO..
Anyone that wants Wenger out is a complete cunt!!!
– You are the cunt here, cunt
Yes it would have been nice to sign a couple of players
– why exactly?
but I don’t think we are desperate.
– we are, cunt
Lets not forget we signed Nasri who is much better than that over-priced money grabbing rat Robino.
– Is he? What evidence do you base that on? Ah, yes … he’s OUR plyer therefore he must be. It can’t be on international appearances or market value, obviously.
Ramsey who Man Utd tried to get
– Wow! 17 yrs old and good enough for the Arsena first-team but nowhere near good enough for ManU’s … and you consider that a coup?
nd we also got back Carlos Vela and Johan Djourou.
– meaning what? Vela might be great one day but he’s also a child. Djourou is good, at least better than average but the answer to our defensive frailties? I don’t think so.
The best thing about this transfer window is we have got rid of two liabilities in Senderos and Hoyte. That is a + in itself.
– true, so we have lost two defenders, and bought ONE ManU REJECT – ffs you must be a total moron.
Lets get one thing clear! We have Fabregas, Diaby, Song, Denilson, Ramsey all fighting for 2 positions in the centre of the park.
– awesome … one belongs to Cesc, and which one of the other bunch of not-good-enough or not-fit-enough youths do you suggest will fill the holding midfield role? Duh! None of those players is good enough, cunt. If they were … why would your God – wenger be trying to buy Alonso or Inler? Eh? Just because he LOOOOOVEEEES to spend the millions we give the club every week?
eIf we signed Alonso how would Ramsey or Song ever develop.
Easy – just like at every other fucking club … they get better and replace him when they are … BETTER. Simple – it’s called COMPETITION.
If We had a policy of signing big names
– nobody is calling for ‘big names’ simply some experience and depth …. get your facts straight, cunt.
then we wouldn’t have given Fabregas a chance! Yes are
midfielders are young
– that’s ‘our’
but either Diaby, Song, Denilson or Ramsey will become big players given a bit of time so stop fucking moaning.
– Really? How much time would you like to allocate to their development? Mmmmm let’s see – Ramsay needs about four years? Denilson judging by his recent performances, about three years, Diaby … will *never* be good enough …. Song might be good enough in a year or two … is that ok for you then, cunt? Let’s just wait another three or four seasons before we have a defensive midfield eh?
Alonso’s passing ability is a myth. He gets the ball then hoof’s it across the field to a winger. Thats all his does. His shooting is on par with denilson, and thats saying something.
Has anyone else noted the really low brow and petty ‘one inch penis’ and ‘cocksucker’ comments? =|
If this is how you spill off when rival teams make what are, let’s be honest, pretty impressive signings, I shudder to think what you’d say if someone let’s say… gave you the wrong change, or someone bumped into you by accident. Would you go off on a rant about how they had ‘tiny wee balls’ or how their ‘mother likes it up the arse’?
Try and save some self respect and don’t post what are quite frankly, shit.
kevin come on …lmao i agree with the hoof but come on his shooting is better than denilson. still id rathe have him and cesc than denilson or diaby and cesc all season
I have just been made manager of Arsenal FC. I have just managed to get 6 transfers in:
Marek Saganowski, 14 Million
Rory Fallon, 1.2 Million
Jason Puncheon, 500k
Simon Walton, 8.9 Million
Dean Kiely 2.5, Million
Damien Plessis, 1.8 Million
read my blog tomorrow morning, usual arsenal talk on there. you know how to find me, just type arseblog into google. or follow the links on oleole.com to get there! till then
“holicedit. Strange, this is not blogs at all, but I would recommend reading him, and the link is here.”
I wish all the whingeing twats on here would fuck off and support someone else, like Spurs, where all that negativity wouldn’t be wasted. Or stick to Fantasy League Manager, where they’ll no doubt out-manoeuvre Arsene every week. Panic merchants of little faith, the lot of them.
Seriously, this forum could use a moderator to keep out the more moronic elements and Spuds fans masquerading as Gooners. Or have we really descended to calling one another “cunts”.
Toulalan was 3rd in the Ligue 1 2007-08 player of the year awards along with a place in the team of the season. Toulalan has been spotted at Millwall’s The Den, and is believed to sign for around 15 million euros should he pass his medical. It is believed that Toulalan infact failed a medical at Arsenal’s London Colney.
What a pleasent surprise it is to see that you can understand sarcasm, especially when you seem to be the type of person who’d have trouble understanding the concept of a knife and fork
i just for a txt from arsene himself, he said he didn’t sign anyone because hes too stubborn and felt it was more important to get players like gibbs and randall to sign new deals than sign anyone established and stop their progression
I was on another blog a few days ago and read someone saying that they’d decided to support Liverpool as Arsenal weren’t going to win anything (think it was Liverpool, or some other grotty club).
I was rather taken aback to say the least. Reading through the comments here though I think there are a lot of people like that.

I cannot believe that rubbish. Thats so blatantly fake it has to be.
thats untrue.
when u get the likes of alonso playing at a club like arsenal, you can really see a difficult time ahead for the likes of the manchester uniteds, the chelseas, and the liverpools. i can really see arsenal dominating this season
And please please fuck off to the lane all the so called Arsenal fans calling for Wengers head. Heard it all last year – and see what happened.
There are far to many happless cunts on here that have played FIFA to much and there only idea of money is pocket money.
Wenger has done an amazing job and continues to do so. Who else has qualified for the Champions League 11 years running? Compare out stadium to any other in the world….
Spoilt prick kids – I want a trophy and I want it now. Happless cunts the lot of you.
I’d call Stephen Stephen a cunt too, but the last time I uttered the word was on Saturday when I suggested that Samir N should “deck that racist cunt” barton.
Just moments later Nasri trips him up and all my fears of him being bullied by the big boys in the Prem fell by the wayside.
I’m therefore saving the C word for selective use at the Grove.
sniff…… ok a source is a source…i doubt it tho becuase if he was to deny it that means hes given a statement of been interviewed and that menas it would be on sky sports news or on a few sites but its not
Marv it was sublime. They even showed them squaring up to each other on Match of the Day later that night. I think Nasri’s going to be a real asset, and heh, he was a purchase, and over £10million too. Who says Arsene’s not been buying?
All you belly-achers should switch to Spurs — spend mindlessly, that’s your motto. No spending = no progress. That’s your creed. You’re perfect for Spurs.
If Wenger had bought Joey Barton AND paid 18 million for him, you would have cheered and crowed.
Hleb was a waste, less useful than Eboue. Gilberto was a bench-warmer a year younger than he is today. Flamini was impressive; Jens was entertainment. And all you wankers wailing away think last season was a failure, an indication that the team isn’t strong enough. You think Adebayor is inaccurate — what a laugh! You really do not understand what you see.
I hope there’s another player on board by the morning, but all you disaster mongers were whining the same tune last year, and your were wrong then — so why believe you now?
However, the article intimated that Arsenal didn’t beat the deadline in any event. If what the journo says is true I’d be a bit annoyed if we failed simply because of a slight difference in valuation.
not at the moment. exactly. maybe in a few years? well in a few years they’ll be looking for a new club as per, we’re now down to our 3rd and 4th choice cm for the season, when flamini was out last year gilberto come in. so now we have no experience in the middle with fabregas, and if he was to get injured what do we do? play 2 un experienced players that might be good in a few years? wenger has brought this all on himself, he bought ramsey for 5m… city paid a little bit more for kompany. so he cant say he didnt have the funds he just didnt use them correctly. we now are totally lacking in the most important area “Why put another layer of gold paint on the Bentley when you are losing the engine?”
It was good to hear people chanting Adebayor’s name again too. I must admit even I booed him a little at the Emirate’s cup, but what separates us from the rest of the folks here is that we get behind the team when it matters.
When Bischoff is fit, Cesc, Nasri, Theo, Vela, Alonso (oops! not til morning), Eboue (plays better centrally), RoSICKnote whats not to like. Nasri is the real deal amazing signing…
Indeed did u notice how when he was legging it all over the field the crowd got behind him.. And Theo was Instant when he came on and Vela too.. I was suitably aroused, leaner to gate F 12 seat 376 please!!
agree when your paying tens of millions its stupid to agrue or break a deal for a difference of 2 or 4 million i mean if you have enough cah to spend in excess of 12 million then u can afford to pay 14-15 million.
i mean playing hard ball is ok but when it comes to minutes before the deadline u must stop trying to save a million or two and pay the asking price. whats 1-3 million pounds to any top club, answer, nothing
I don’t see how a game of brinkmanship with Liverpool was going to work anyway. They have nothing to lose by keeping Alonso. Such an approach was only ever helpful when Rafa wanted Barry. Alonso is not approaching the end of his contract either.
Sniff – I think its cus he has more space. Theo/ Nasri draws the midfield wide opening the middle I think Eboue and cesc relish that. He has impressed me since he played there. He still has to stop dropping like a fag in prison tho’
Shhhh!!! go to sleep lilttle ones.. The Football fairies will work their magic whilst you sleep!! Arsenal always wait til the morn to reveal their treasures..
right ive turned off sky sports news, the lack of news was frustrating me. when i turn it on later they better be talking about something other than berba or robinhoe but were not going to hear the end of that until the next transfer window when chelsea try to get city back my offering £100000000000000000.01 for messi
someone is posting using my name i think, i didn’t say “Um, the ‘where do you live’ comment was not actually from me. I think the troublemakers are out of bed again…”
come on, if you’re gonna at least make stuff up you can at least come up with something more original than “islington” obviously not from that way if you can’t think or something more original than a station
ok, so 331 is the fake Ben again. This is the real Ben who lives in Canonbury (which is the name of a station, unlike Islington which is the name of a Borough – the tube is called Highbury fake Ben).
To be honest with you i was expecting a new face, maybe a holding midfield player, but oh well! wenger is a great manager and i am sure that we will be fine! best tactition in the game, so that makes us in with a chance…4th place i hear??? nah we so nearly had the prem last season and only missed out becaue of the shock of eduardo…ade will score a bag this year! and fab and nasri will do the job in midfeild…kolo is back and almunia is looking sharp…I SAY LETS STOP MOANING GIVE WENGER A CHANCE AND
Well, we don’t yet know for sure that we haven’t bought someone – the deal might have gone through, but the PR not been done.
Tbh, I think we’re not much weaker than last season, but now have that little bit more experience, and with a bit of luck we might bridge those last few points to the top.
yea yea, i hear you..i have only been a gunner for like 10 years, as long as i can remember, and i just no the glory days for arsenal…this is a little different to what i am use to with arsenal, but i think that if we dont let games liek the fulam one slip away (that was stupid) then we will be fne. i think that we will have what it takes to beat the big teams..but i feel like we arent a team full of stars anymore, just a real tactical team if you get me..if wenger left and we got some other manager in i think that we would be in the shit then, because they wouldnt know what to do with all the different types of players, so all those people calling for his head i think is stupid…but yea ill be on skysports in the morning!!!
yea, that game was a shame!! we had 30M to spend, and i think that Robiniho would have been a great player for us..but i still think that theo is coming into his own, and it will be great to see him get better and better this season..van persie is looking sharp, but is he injured? he caught his ankle? anyone no how long he is out for? and franny jeffers? my ass lol he was shit anyway…rather have theo any day!!!
yea yea deffo, every time theo puts the ball in the net its like more enjoyable, partly because he is english, but also because he is getting so much better for us…and oh good, i know what you mean…i think that he is a great player when he is fully fit…oh yea and just for the record i think that we have one of the greatest left backs in the game! gael is quality
chim chimminny chim chiminny chim chim chareee who needs ashley cole when weve got clichy! got to love that lol…he is so quick..i would like to see him on the left wing you no
Now that the kids are done saying goodnight and we are back on subject, I think it is fair to say we will be waiting until January.
As a few have already said, it is cheaper to buy in winter than summer. Wenger is an avid economist, no?
The situation isn’t entirely pessimistic at all. An optimist would note that now the youngsters of the squad have three months to prove their ability.
Showing that kind of confidence in your team would be called inspiring in any other sport.
Red-nose can have his Bulgarian Princess, let’s see him play third fiddle to Ronaldo and Rooney. Robinho wouldn’t have been any better, he’s already shown how he respects his clubs.
We have a good core group of players in this team that can now lead our youngsters for three months.
All too soon we forget that our chances only really began to fall apart against Brum last season. There’s no reason Wenger cannot inspire a repeat of that form this season.
Then, toward the end of January when fatigue is settling in, Le Boss can use our budget to address the immediate situation that will affect us taking the premiership.
Our early form (minus Fulham) should be enough confidence of continued success for the autumn months.
to be fair i am a kid, and i know what i am talking about…i know what you are saying about the inspiration of youngsters in the team, wanting to prove a point and helping us to the top…but i dont think that we can just get to the top because of that…all i was saying is that 1 or two signings in the key positions would have been nice for depth and cover…also everyone knows that we need a defensive mid because we have lost gilberto and flamini…so to say that we can make do with the players that we have (young players) is wrong, because we players in different positions…plus we cant just put this all down to the young ones, anyone would agree that experiance helps any team…even if its on the bench…
I agree, give everyone a good run – we have the strength to go till January, then spend a little then to fill any weaknesses that become apparent. We might get some bargains as everyone else will be bankrupt by then.
But if that experience is even required we cannot know. Arsene cannot know.
Why buy to be sure when you can do that in January?
Denilson suprised many with his defensive ability against Newcastle while Nasri certainly showed guile throughout. Strengthening our left flank with the “next-zizou” negates the amount of work Flamini put in at CDM.
Young Jack might be 16 but his preaseason got him Gilberto’s old number 19, he can figure into the team. As will Ramsey, if he wasn’t going to play he’d have been back to Cardiff on loan.
Vela is another one. He has spent all this time at Spain and is ready to prove himself. Once the Mexican is more fluent with the English pace he will adapt easily. Asking him to compete with another “premiership experienced” striker would be pointless and costly.
One of these youngsters could prosper, if not there is Diaby, Denilson and Eboue as players who can play at CM. As well as Song who seems torn between CB and CDM.
There are plenty of options to be tested. In January the season will have changed and new positions may need to be strengthened. I am happy to wait until then with the transfer budget as it is, than waste it on perahps unrequired experience.
okay then another point i class of player…you think that all of those midfielders that you named are anywere near the caliber of essien, deco, ronaldo, paul schols, frank lampard, alonso and steven gerrard…..yea we have cesc, he is better than all of those, but every top 4 team has atleast 3 world class midfielders to hand, and if they didnt they brought world class midfielders….to be honest i am not happy to gamble and wait untill january because that could be the season over by january, and it should only just be getting started…
Another few hours, and it’ll be a sensible timezone here again, and insensible fpr you 😉
Where are you from Scott?
Other than the pre-season games, and being a few yards from a kickaround he was having with Bendtner, Vela and Fabianski the other day I’ve not seen enough of Ramsey, other than to notice that he flags when he plays for a while – not quite got the stamina yet.
Our season will not be over by January, not by a long shot. They may not be world names in your football manager fifa game or on skysports but they are Arsenal names.
Wenger’s previous form deserves more respect than to think he would allow his title aspirations to fall on a “gamble.”
I would not be crying if someone like David Villa or Arshavin (pre-sp*s comments) had come in at the start of the window like Rosicky did a few seasons ago if I’m not mistaken.
Buying a player like that now would look like panic buying and would change the whole morale of the team.
If not a world class player then it falls back to buying experience, and we’ve already discussed that.
cant sleep jus clutchin on to straws but if u go onto wikipedia type in xabi alonso and it says ‘It has been suggested that Arsenal F.C. have made a successful last minute bid before the closure of the transfer window to capture Alonso and bring him to the Emirates’ but wen u click on the source they got that from it says it couldnt find article. jus thought id let ya no
It’s late isn’t it! Not sure I’d trust Wikpedia as a source tbh.
Have a nightcap and hit the hay. If we spent all the energy that we spend worrying about transfers on cheering the team on, imagine the noise we could make 🙂
Dunno if you know of http://youngguns.wordpress.com/ but I suspect you might enjoy taking a look from time to time to see who’s coming through the ranks.
Fucking wenger….liar !!!…..anyone who still defends wengers a fickle fan with no hunger to win pots….Is it wrong for me to wish my team win something after a 4 year dry spell…..no?……wengers stubborness will cost us dear be warned !!!
Im a real arsenal fan not a fake lol but we really do need a cm went to the game on saturday and it was like we should have won 8-0 and because of shit players we cant. Please please please say we signed Alonso he is such a great player i will be pissed of tho if we havnt signed anyone. But doesnt mean we cant we league.
Oh vela vela
your better then hunterla
oh yes you are
oh vela vela
Do we need anyone really? Loads of injured coming back later in this season. We struggled last year because of the players that are coming back were then injured. Sure, every team always needs another one but i dont think its time to call doom and gloom as we perenially do of late. Diaby will replace flamini, nasri looks like a good yet more aggressive sub for hleb. The best news is Senderos has gone. Thats worth 3-4 goals a season…..
on 02 Sep 2008 at 6:03 am432you know when youve been Arsened
Thanks Arsene, why lie to us, stayed up all night waiting for news while you were in bed.
Liar, Liar, Liar
You better hope we have no injuries you tight arsed git.
AW you have become too lazy.lazy to know in time you have money.lazy to scout(funniest quote”the problem is finding players who are as good or better!!!!!).lazy to retain Flamini & Hleb.Lazy to realise what a plus it would have been to add Nazri with Flamini & Hleb around.Lazy to know that you have won ZERO cups in the last three years? especially in the Emirates.Why belittle Spurs boss of just 5 months when he has won CCup?Lazy to realise you have no friends in managerial circles.finally lazy to realise your squad is inadequate for years.lazy to realise mistakes happen where things happen.Look at Fergie.Lazy to realise Football First(trophies!!!!).money follows.Are you counting on selling our Maradona next year to restart your experiment again? Lazy to realise your fans are not lazy.maybe the Board is.
you are creating enemies out of frends.Start respecting Mark Hughes et al-am sure you will at the end of the season!
Don’t say goodbye to the top four! Shut your mouth and be optimistic! A real fan should support, trust and believe in his team and manager in any sircumstances! Stop moaning here! Wait till the morning at least. In Arsene we trust! Go Arsenal!
“Man City is the flavour of the month, why don´t you rejoice at your new signings, because while Arsenal do the talking on the pitch, it´s evident that signings are more important than trophies to some people.” Excellent comment Frank. The point of being a fan is you have no control over your team and eventually your support is unconditional.
Plus all this hoopla about signings is media generated hype. If Alonso was available we would have signed him. He isn’t andno players of that calibre are available so we did not sign anyone. I am obviously dissapointed but calling for wengers sacking for not signing someone who is not available is acting like a Spurs fan. We are short DMs but hey who knows maybe this allows Song to step up the plate. Whichever way I will always support Arsenal. And to the c*nts talking about switching teams, you never were Arsenal fans anyways so enjoy bandwagonning you miserable c*nts.
Wenger has over promised and under delivered yet again on transfers. If we didn’t need anyone- why has Wenger consistently said that we do /-it is clear to a blind monkey that we do.
I thought after last week (v Fulham) we’d nailed the **** about crtics having to join Spurs or, now, City? This isn’t some third world dictatorship.
FWIW, Arsene visibly nailed his colours to the wall by appearing at the reserves. He’s saying this is his squad and he has absolute faith in it.
So, there can now be no excuses about injuries, suspensions or (unbelievably as someone posted) travel fatigue after international duty. This is our squad and we’ll see come May whether it’s weaker than last year’s or not.
As my only previous two posts stated, I wanted us to sign because we appear so close to challenging if we had a decent sized squad (not just a fab first XI when the sun shines). But that’s that now.
Final thought for those complaining about anyone doubting Arsene (or even vice versa). Is there some part of discussion forum that you don’t understand? If you don’t like to discuss why be here? Why not simply stick to the playground….
I’m sure AW did his best to get Alonso (or Barry, earlier), but you know how hard it is to negotiate with such impulsive morons like Benitez (or O’Neil).
You are a legend.
I’m sick of these plastic fans who’s only Coaching knowledge comes from Football Manager on PS2
IF you dont like Arsene then piss of and go join Chelsea, where you can make your own dream team each year and still win nothing.
Oh, and by the way if you know more than Arsene, why not apply for his job, I’m sure the Board would definitely choose you.
It’s true. We have to keep it in perspective. Petty jealousy for the size of other squads is neither here nor there. We have our squad and we will stick with it and get behind it.
Well well well…..I’ve just risen from my slumber to the news that we have made no more signings!!
Whilst being clearly disappointed, there is a part of me that truly believes Arsene Wenger has sent a very clear, powerful and unequivocal message to the existing squad members.
Something that goes like….”Guys, the press are already dismissing us as a spent force. Our rival fans are dismissing us as a spent force. Even some of our own fans are dismissing us as a spent force. Off course, I don’t! I believe in you guys and have demonstrated so. I’ve taken all the flak on the chin for YOU guys. Now it’s your turn to deliver back to ME!!”
By the way well done to Anonymous. Unlike Gaz-Baz and a few others you have managed to string a few sentences together. Unfortunately that apears the extent of your argument (other than the obligatory advice to join another club).
Assuming Mr Brain is on loan, perhaps your argument is that Diaby will step up and stay fit. Or that the operation finally cures Rosicky and he’ll be the midfield partner. Or that Song will be given a go and do what he does in the ANC?
I repeat, slowly and with shorter words in fairness, you have no say in who anyone else supports. Not believing Arsene gets things 100% right does not mean you cannot support Arsenal.
Snail- 100% agree with that but…. we cannot now use the squad size to excuse any performances due to injury, travel or suspension. I just do not believe you can have it both ways.
Hey I have an idea, why don’t all you weenies shut the “F” up about signings and get behind what we do have. I will bet you any amount of money AW knows exactly what he’s doing, there is ALWAYS an answer to a problem if you look hard enough…. AW being at the Reserves last night answers that for me, he knows what he’s doing. Once again for all you “Water-necked Backwoods Retards” out there “shut-up” and support the Arse you tools….
Some crazy bunch called abu dhabi brought Man city and want to take over the footballing world by doing a “chelsk”. In one day, they laid out 300 million euros in possible transfers and manged to land some doode called Robinho for a princely sum…Phew, thank god it was only a dream…
You know we can talk this subject to death but we’re not going to change anything.
I’m not an AKB, I’d like to think I’m a realist.
Perhaps we should embrace what has happened (however disappointed we are).
We have proved we are different.
We are have already shown that we don’t have to buy success, we can earn it.
We do play beautiful football
We’ve had bad luck with injuries.
We have huge potential.
We have players who WANT TO PLAY FOR US.
We are still in every tournament.
We are 4th in the Prem table
WE ARE THE ONE AND ONLY ARSENAL………………………………………………….
Get a life Nelly – that’s just the sort of inane infighting for the sake of infighting I was suggesting we put behind us. Arsene Knows Brigade/Best – there, are you any happier….give me strength….
I honestly cannot believe the pathetic comments on here. No one has the divine right to win anything. Have you all caught the Chelsea Bug? Spend big and win? Where were Chelsea before Abramovich? A spell in the old 2nd Division for those too young to remember. When United first won The Premiership, it was their first title since the late 60s. Liverpool dominated the 70s & 80s, but they’ve never won The Premiership. I actually support Carlisle United in League 1, top of the old Division 1 in 1973 after the first three games (beating Spurs & Chelsea along the way) then got relegated. I’ve experienced non-league football. You support your team through all the good times, and all the bad, no matter what. You Arsenal fans have experienced highs I never will. You’re team are an absolute joy to watch. Wenger has revolutionalised the game in this country, he’s also responsible for your magnificent new stadium. Support him, your team, or go and support Chelsea and now Manchester City, who’s success comes at one hell of a price.
i made this up a few days ago but i dont no if u’ve ever heard the song ” wild rover ” here’s a link for it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-07gFit1xw anyway here it goes
Well I’ve been a gooner for many ah year,
And I’ve spent all my money on jersey’s an beer,
And now there returning with silverware,
There’s no greater team anywhere,
Choras…
An its ar-se-nal, ar-se-nal f c
We’re the greatest
Ar-se-nal f c.
gulp
Hmmm, just a cocoa for me please, holic, oh and stick a brandy in it.
gulp? What is that meant to be Azza?
I miss Paulie
I’ll just go wank my self dry then, whilst crying at the point of ejaculation.
heh
Gulp is me downing a whiskey, Snaily waily.
Thats that then Def another medicore season where we finish fourth because bloody wenger wont spend money on adding more depth to the squad was watching sky sports news with any hope of any news and still watching to see if hes sneaked someone in under the radar but starting to look like stubborn wenger wont add which makes me angry I have grown incredibly frustrated with the lack of ambition shown at Arsenal and if we dont win a trophy this season which I reckon we wont then im not the only who will be calling for his head
Bitch, bitch, bitch, moan, moan, moan. Wise up.
we’re fuked..cheers wenger…stubbornness gets you no where u tool!
god dis is unbelievable… all these empty promises…. not evn a single signing!!! robinho 2 man city…!!!
any news maybe????
what promises would those be, gunnerboy12?? And anyone who calls Arsene Wenger a “tool” is a tool themselves. I’m sure you’d all be welcome at any Man City forum or blog. And if 4th place is mediocre then what would 8th place be?
The last two days has been about as fruitfull as a blind man watching a porno.
What a tight wanker, always promise so much but delivers very little, get WENGER OUTTTT!!!!
Dont worry guys. Arsene has signed someone. you will have to wait till the morning before you can find out who he has bought
surely not…
the reason wenger didnt or hasn’t spent is because of reyes
we payed over 22 million for him he turned out sh**
wenger made an error and has suffered the consequences.
he doesn’t want to make the same mistake.
I cannot believe we have not signed a midfielder. We are desperately short in the middle of the park.
Eboue is awful….denilson is average at best……diaby is good but always injured.
This has taken away all the good feeling we had from the last two performances.
Very disappointing Arsene…..complete lack of ambition.
know u what…
all i wanted was a dm with at least a season of premireship experience.
a complete unknown.
maybe someone you got DM of the ANC tournie
and the DM of the olympics wud be nice….
oh… you mean we have song?
well ok then…..
Tynder
The last two days has been about as fruitfull as a blind man watching a porno
hhmmm….i’ve gone blind from wanking on the regular…..still find it fruitfull!!
We can get by until January with the squad – players are normally cheaper in the winter than the summer.
Heh. Good post.
we were 2 players short of having a superb side, a holding midfielder and a decent center back, now the squad is just full of inconsistent kids.
4th is all we can hope for
Whinge whinge, fucking whinge.
Arsene knockers – be fair to the man. Yes we could do with another player, he knows this. Just check what he was saying over the last few weeks. He thought he had a deal going for Alonso, and changed his tune when the Barry saga fell through. It isn’t that he didn’t want someone, but he didn’t get his man because Benitez isn’t in charge of his own transfer policy and O’Neill is not a man to be messed with. If anyone can deal with the problem it is Arsene.
@ natsteel
i dunno if uve been in hibernation dude… bt wenger has ben speakin of buyin a new CDM all summer…the fact that the heading of the thread is “well… thats that den…” tells u evry1 was expectin a new signing ….. and as for ne1 being welcum at oder forums… ive seen the forums of jus abt evry big team… and the most frustrated supporters happen 2 b us gooners…. mebe dat tells u smth… or mebe ure jus 2 blind 2 c…..
wow! ! ! !iv seen some shambolic, tardy,misery stricken web-pages proporting to host arsenal ‘supporters’….. but this wins the award for shittiest everything really……..
an look at some of the comments from some of these plebs ! !
miserable cunts ! !
support wenger and arsenal an stop shitterin on,, r else fuck off down the spurs
maybe mr dein is right. maybe we will find out in the morning
mediocre by our standars 3 season is a long dry spell we need to win silver ware all this talk about a team for the future but that seems to all way be a day away we need a team for now we have 3 years buliding a team for the furture the furtures here and it chelsea and man u I mean even city have more ambition shaun and rob I mean come on
Gutted….absolutly gutted.
i realy cant see a us challenging this term now.
Got to keep faith…..
i suppose
while i don’t share and entirely disagree with the doom and gloom merchants i did find today unbelievably frustrating. what annoys and worries me is that i think we’re an experienced CM and a tricky wide player away from a trophy-winning SQUAD. what we have right now is a TEAM that, if constantly fit, could win things but inevitably we’ll suffer injuries and suspensions and i think we’ll fall away though still finish top 4. there comes a point when you have to think arsene’s principles have become bloody-minded stubbornness. if we win the title this year it will be his greatest achievement and one that will go down in history as a victory for his belief in youth. however, if we don’t it could go down to him not getting off his high horse and realising that modern-day football is very different to how it was ten years ago. tv deals are so astronomical that prem clubs will spend silly money on transfers and wages and he should accept and go along with this.
we got toulalan my friends ,deal is done hahahahahahahaha
we always find out in the morning. all the transfers are not known yet
wenger will tell us first thing in morning have some faith
I love Mr Wenger but his stubborness in not spending significant sums of money is pathetic & it’s deceitful of the club to have sold the move to the Emirates to fans on the basis that Arsenal could & would compete big in the transfer market. We clearly missed out on big prizes last season simply due to the lack of experienced depth in the squad but the lesson has not been learned & it’s Groundhog day again !!
how has wenger not brought an exprienced cm, all of these ppl complaining we’re moaning at wenger…are u not thinking the one transfer that he promised us was mikel fkin silvestre????????? we shud be looking to win the league not be thinking oww 4ths better than 8th ffs!
Natsteel!! Please shut you rubbish bin up! Wenger is a ledgend nothing to say! But his days are gone… We need new manager… We need at list another 3 players to compete with our rivals… And all what i can see at the moment is maximum 5th or 6th place in EPL! It that GUnners! Thnx Wenger! Fooking b.a.s.t.a.r.d
While this french wanker is in charge of Arsenal, we will carry on losing our best players and winning sweet FA, lets make it clear when we next play at the emirates and call for him to get OUTTTT!!!!!
I wanted AW to sign some depth to this squad, but he has so much faith in this team he must believe whole heartedly. I will support whatever Gunner’s team trots out there as a true blue fan should. Screw Man City and their Robinho deal, screw Man’Ure and their Berbaslop deal, I’m a gooner and I’ll take whatever this squad gives me. Now don’t take me for a backwoods-waternecked retard or something, I want them too win, and too win it all! Everyone needs to stop moaning about not getting this one or that one, in the end bitching about does no-one no good at all, you can’t change it so why blow on about it, right! So support this team, get behind them and take off your panties and be a man (only for the weenie winers)
Im an idiot..
Let’s just wait and see if anything transpires in the next hour or so. If not this could be the begining of the end for AW
You w*nkers don´t deserve Arsenal . You can be dissapointed but you are a spineless git if you throw in the towel before a ball has been kicked.
I´m actually happy that some of you are this upset because all that you deserve is being miserable if you can´t appreciate what Wenger has and is doing.
Man City is the flavour of the month, why don´t you rejoice at your new signings, because while Arsenal do the talking on the pitch, it´s evident that signings are more important than trophies to some people.
There is always a chance we’ll find out by tomorrow that he has signed someone, but even if he hasn’t we shouldnt ignore the fact that he might have tried.
While any sane person wouldn’t refuse the overtures of arsenal, many footballers are certifiably mental. Wenger may actually just have failed in attempts to sign someone.
Either way it does feel a little poorly planned, but we’ll have to wait and see what the prof has planned.
Faith gooners, please!
whoaaaaaa ! JAY .. . .. u have definitely scooped the award for the most banal, assanine comment grounded in utter stupidity… . .
but then again, u really are just a fuckwit…
hes built this club to an unrecognisable height, an u ar just a pithy wanker
AH, stop the crying, our team is good enough! Wenger said it had to be the right player, no? forget Robhino and focus on our players, the fact that Eduardo, Diaby and Rosicky are to come back.What about Vela, Wishire, Ramsey and Song who havent played much? I could care less about another team!
God Bless and keep the faith!
no way is wenger leaving, think where we’d be without him. just think frings, michael johnson and quaresma for total £30m would have sorted us
Im not usually one for contributing to these things but you’re all being silly. We have an excellent squad and will certainly push for honours this season. All you divs who say ‘buy buy buy’ don’t seem to know what you are talking about. Buy who? If the player isnt better than what we already have then what is the point? In no way do I want the arsenal conducting themselves in the transfer market like city, spuds, united, liverpool and chelsea. It is a waste of time and money. We are doing it the right way…believe…besides we will probably reveal a new signing in the morning anyway…remember the 3.40 announcement of diarra last time round? Even though he did turn out to be a dolphin headed dick. Chins up and all that. The only reason I feel remotely disapointed is due to the christmas day factor…selfishly wanting a gift just because that s what happens…Im sure we all remember however getting those gifts that made you think ‘what’s the point?’. We have a wealth of talent who are growing together not just sticking around for a season and then fucking off (flamoney and hleb aside).
You heard it here first (although you probably thought it already) but this will be cesc’s last season. Cheers little fella but i dont blame you for wanting some trophies mate, good luck wherever you go next season matey.
arsene is the greatest manager of our time…… an thats an understatement
Why is everyone pissing on their very own mothers? We always work in mysterious ways – we are the Dark Horse of the Big Four, let alone the PL.
Just get some beauty sleep everyone – and when you awake tomorrow morn – you’ll see the arrival of two ‘super-duper’ players.
Who are under 23.
And French.
And of Afican descent.
Probably.
Azza lol
aw is the professor he will surprise us all.
aw the best manager. he knows what he is doing
you fucking cock tease wenger, i’m just going to crank myself to sleep now,
James i know its late but wake up son, eh?
Surprise! Surprise! Deadline has gone and nobody coming in – another year where Wenger has made a profit on transfer deals. We have a smaller squad than last year so our only hope is to try and retain a top 4 place to get Champions League football next season. With Spurs and almost certainly Manchester City breathing down our necks – this reliance on youth players and no experience will be our eventual downfall. Fabregas,Sagna,Cliche (and possibly RVP and Rosicky if they stays clear of long term injury) are our only quality players – the rest of our squad are very ordinary.
Well i for one am gutted i stayed up all night watching sky sports news and yet again the lack of ambition shown by arsenal astounds me. Every football fan can see we have a wafer thin squad and need some depth desperately. but wenger says we are fine… im very disapointed!!!
hopefully we will hear something in the morning as arsenal are always quite about there transfer dealings……. my fingers are crossed!!
I am disgusted with Wenger. He always says he will sign someone then does bugger all. he needs to work out some serious answers to the endless critics that will come his way, and not the usuaal pathetic excuses we are so used to hearing. In Arsene I do not trust!!!
fucking whingers
most deals happen after 12, wait an hour or two
Well said Frank. Jay your a cock. A small one. But a cock all the same.
I agree gaz-baz regarding your comment about Jay. As my post said I am gutted about the lack of signigs but I do & always will respect Mr Wenger !!
Nada, Zilch, not even a fringe player, im sick of these lies, spare season ticket up for grabs if anyone wants it, paid for with blood and sweat and all i got back was lies and pretty triangles on the pitch, Wenger from being in a great position to dominate the epl you have started to take us backwards, you dont even try to appease your supporters.
Heh, quality, nice one holic!
I must admit I’ve been partially expecting this since I read Clichy talking about how we’d be fine without new signings. It’s almost as if the lad knew that those we were after were not going to arrive.
The problem is we’re in international week, so our boys don’t have the chance to whip someone and show all these doomers that we’ve actually got a cracking side.
The players now need our support, plus the religious among us might want to pray for the health of one Cesc Fabregas. Please don’t let him be injured. Ever.
Football Manager the real world isn’t. Wenger’s probably tried his guts out to get someone, but hasn’t found the right player to be available. I bet he’s more disappointed that any fan.
Don’t worry lads,
Give Robinho a few games in up north on a rain and mud sodden pitch and he will wish he was back in Spain!
im dissapointed especially after last seaon we were close an were only a couple players short but im down with wenger the general!
Man U make another signing they are not being complacant again they show they will do what it take to win when they want someone they get him and lets be fair winning the double and back to back title is a good return on investment for the club and fans
Damn. Hey I think Wenger is a great manager and we’d never have got this far without him, I want him to stay for another 5. But in my view, I think he needed to buy a centre mid, if not to improve the squad but to at least take the pressure off of him and the team. Mind you though, if Arsenal do play with the constistency I know they can, he could just prove everyone wrong! If he does get the League or champions league, he be hailed as a hero. Fa Cup hell be ok. Carling Cup mostly ok. But if its another trophyless season, I think the headhunters might start coming out in force… Good Luck Wenger and come on Arsenal!
And when arsenal start winning these are the same fans that go wow arsen is great.
How many seasons has arsenal signed big names?! If you very bad arsenal fan’s relise arsenal bought three defensive midfielders this transfer window. Normal arsenal buys.
i do think it sent out the wrong message watching the reserves while we all hoped he would be doin all he can,afterall fergie kidnapped berbatov! he could of at least watched it at home on arsenal tv and told us he was tryin to sign kaka!
It’s all clear to me now. We should hand over management of the club to all the folks here who are calling for Wenger’s head.
They are obviously all far better qualified to lead us to trophies. Their combination of footballing strategy, charm, wit, and grammatical skills, blended with their calm intelligence is just what we need.
LOL at everyone thinking its the end of the world, calm the fcuk down
news in 30 mins…
Who can say what Arsen is thinking are the players he signed the ones he think going to win EPL if not why did he not get the backing to get them
IT is THe End OF THE FUKIN WOLRD (RANDOM FUKIN ROY)
Arsene DID sign a midfelder.. AMAURY BISCHOFF!! Watch when he gets fit…
We have the best signing in the whole history of football!
I belive we will finish in the top two and with all the euforia of big money spending I am even more confidedent on a good price.
The Arsenal are class on and off the pitch!
You can spend and get in debt all you want! But will that make you better than us? NO F ing way.
Wenger is the best signing that any club, any place in the Universe has ever made.
Oh what a suprise!
Spurs has taken a bribe again (Frank Arnason) to not report Man U for Burbi. This has got to be wrong!
Sorry just got this on Sky Sports. Spurs are the best at taking a bribe. Or what else do you guys think?
I give up, ABSO F ING LOOTLY C huntly NO CLASS?
Take the money boys anyway you can, we have a great support and a WORLD CLASS STADIUM.
Good night, love all Gooners…
We need to spend Wenger ffs!! How many more years without silverware, any other club and u wud hav been sacked! So ANNOYED!!
Look there’s nothing anyone can do so just shuttup and support. Everything will be grande coque noir. No worries.
very frustating to say the least. Regardless of who we think we do need or don’t need, the fact remains that we do not have the depth in our squad to compete on all levels. We may have the youth, but how often does the youth outplay the experienced million pound players? is arsene’s philosophy but create, develope and have the finished article more so than buying all the players when they are at their best and putting them all together. Being an arsenal fan is hard work and it seems to be getting harder by the year. We all have belief, want to win etc…but like the manager says, he is not willing to win at any cost and he will/would only buy a player that can add to what arsenal is about. Remember, arsenal is different to all the other clubs out their, in that the manager has created something special, what i call ‘football’. So theres no need in getting your bra’s out moaning, yes, we could add quality at a price, but the proof will be in the pudding. Lets just sit back and see how we go this season. You have to admit, couple of games in and although we are shaky in departments, we do look pretty tasty…
Just pure Neglience and will cost us.
I’m not calling for him to be sacked heck no body is better than him in my view however I just asking to win somethink big differents and is wanting Arsenal to win a bad thing
Wenger talks a load of rubbish !!!!
hes let us down again and i think it may be time for a change
I remember last transfer window when our signings weren’t announced until the next morning, so i’m remaining optimistic. Keep the faith.
hey wenger say’s hes building for the future, yer the future of playing in the championship with kindergarden kids, he’s a joke, everyone one knows our squad needs good players instead we get players that are half fit or not even played no more then one game for their previous club like BISHNOFF, who the fuck is BISHNOFF!!
New signings; who needs them?
With all our squad being fully fit all season long, as per usual, it will not be a problem – especially as there are no absurd international matches coming up.
Oh . . . . .
well said ben !
JAY will always be an unwelcome cunt tho !
what the F, i was hoping for one decent arival- i got silvsetre? Though Wenger knows what he’s doing- arsenal were like this last season- incredibly critizced for wenger lack of adding big names to the club- but they somehow shot through- we just have to keep form- keep consistant- i think arsenal are going to surprise alot of people this season- they showed this at newcastle- nasri is twice as good as hleb- and with rvp in top form- fabregas just does what he does- which is excellent- even eboue is playing good- what an assist. especially walcot he’s a whole new player this season- we have a very good side
and plus who plays sublime football like arsenal
no one
I’m as disappointed as most fans, but Wenger generally likes to suss up the first half of the season and make January signings if nessecary.
http://www.arsenal-opinion.com
Its typical knee jerk reactions, calm the fu*k down. Its likely Arsene DID at least attempt to sign players and used the drama over in Mancland as a welcome distraction. Did we know who eduardo was when he signed him? People were still slagging him off after that signing.
Arsene wont buy for buying sake. If they are not BETTER than what we have, why would we want them?
If you are a true fan, get behind your team and manager and wait until tomorrow…
All the deals haven’t been announced yet, so all the fucking idiots sounding off should shut up and wait. Even if we don’t sign anyone or no loans come in, then it still doesn’t mean we won’t do well. It will be fustrating, but we will get over it and cope. True Gooners never fucking give up.
Christ almighty!
So fucking negative!
Why will we not challenge again as we did last year?
Nasri looks more effective than hleb, flamoney just ran around a lot (admitedly very well) but can be replaced with diaby, denilson song etc. Then in a ddition we have RVP back, eduardo to return along with rosicky and carlos vela who we didnt have last year. Also rambo and little jack can do a bit of a no fear job. From where im standing we are in fact stronger than last term…but oh no you have to spend 20 mil on lumps like gareth fucking barry to win trophies! It is late mick but i am very much awake looking with great anticipation and excitement towards blackburn. Just you wait and see.
One last comment. What is it that AW does so wrong other than not buying enough players? Our style of play was probably the reason most of you started following Arsenal in the first place so our style of play isn´t the reason.
I´m fucking sick to death that AW gets all the stick for every God damn thing when he´s the best thing to ever happen to this club. The most sickening thing of all is that if you gutless pile of scum gets AW to resign, the real fans are the ones to lose out, while you leave to pastures new once more.
Can´t believe the amount f dog sh*t the lot of you are coming up with, sounding like your ignorant views really matter.
Don´t let your views get into the dressing room because it will have an impact on the players and staff and will only help our rivals.
Get behind the team or get out, that´s my 5p on this matter, but it´s the almighty doom merchants who know it all isn´t it?
If yourdisgusted with everything keep it to yourself because when people start booing our own players at games, something is truly wrong with our fans. We´ve always been a whineing lot but before AW we were known as the antithesis of positive free flowing football. Know we are the masters of the beautiful game and I´ve been a fan long enough to take pride in the way we play and be happy that we follow a team which goes against the stream and does it bloody well without superstars or bottom-less pockets.
See how fortunate we are before it´s too late because eventually our manager will be fed up with the lack of loyalty your showing him. If I was AW I had moved on long ago because frankly I´d be seriously p*ssed off if I´d been in his shoes.
Remember wenger said they would be staying up all night if they had to.Remember when we signed Diarra noone knew before early in the morning.If he fails to sign one or two he has got to be the most tight fisted manager in history.
i know prices often come down a bit on the last day and all, but if wenger actually had a list of potential players, why didn’;t he go through the entire list trying to sign each one weeks ago? maybe we got someone anyway, but it;s a bit stupid being so half-hearted in the transfer market until the final bloody day because if stuff falls through then you’re fucked.
why weren’t we trying (and failing) to sign inler a month ago? and as soon as he rejected us why weren’t we closing in on whoever’s next on the list the next day?
like i said if we don’t have anyone new, ok, but if we tried to buy someone and it fell through on the last day i’ll be really pissed off. this shit could have been happening AGES ago and we shouldn’t need to consider this now. it’s not like we’re likely to be buying an overly expensive or famous player anyway, so it shouldn’t be SO hard to get the transfers all done at a reasonable time rather than so fucking late.
hey, check it out. Every other team on the planet but the best players they can afford. No manager on the planet does what wenger does with the results he has. If you speak to any other fan of any club, they will all say the same. Arsenal are a great team, play great football but fall at the final hurdle due to one thing or another. As much as i would like us to win every four king cup out there. If we buy our way there it would be shyte just like Cheski and ManPoo, oh and ManPity too…keep up the good work manager, keep football real and alive and keep giving the youngsters the cahnce to shine. If wenger was to follow all the other managers then football would go tits up. More money = more titles = Shyte!!! its pee’s me off, but wenger only needs a couple more sandwiches before be finally becomes a full picnic…
Can anybody name better players than Denilson Bischoff Diaby as DM if so maybe we should have sign them if not why care if we sign
ah well we have to look at wat we have an by my reckonin its a great bunch of players with still the likes of rosicky an eduardo to come back, so mr wenger mightn’t an i stress mightn’t have strenghtened the squad but he brought in nasri (fantastic so far) an as for wat we lost in the way of hleb an flamini well fu*k them they didnt want to be there an thats there lost “COME ON THE GUNNERS”
Yeah…2 transfers to be announced.
Patience.
Arsenal have just signed Xabi Alonso
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/7590492.stm
I don’t know why Wenger is behaving like this. I agree with him that he has good players but it is obvious that we missed on the title last season because of injuries. For Wenger to really have said last season that we need two or three new signings and do almost nothing about nothing about it is unbilievably an act of stubborness. Especially when you consider the fact that we lost three experienced players, the equation should become SIX or 5 new signings because at the time he made that observation Hleb, Flamini and Gilberto were not known to be leaving our club. It really strange that he has not bought a new player. It is now a problem because we know HOW wenger reacts when it comes to buying a new player. We did BUY Sagna and he improved our squad. We have BOUGHT Nasri we all can see what he is doing for us. So why is Wenger offended evrytime the word BUY is mentioned?
Just to shed some light on the situation… When has Wenger ever signed a massive name player for big cash? And Have we had sucess before? Admittedly Im a little gutted but to be honest Im looking at it and Im thinking. Flamini and Hleb are gone, (Gilberto looked rusty for us the whole year). I think that NAsri is by far gd enough to step into Hlebs boots and do even better! Also, remember that van Persie, Rosicy and Diaby were struck down a long time last season. I believe if Diaby stays fit that we ther havlayer capable of taking the Premership by storm. I feel that those freinge players in the squad will step up and give us the extra depth needed!And Remember, all our squad have one more year of expirience and are one year older!!! Yes, I believe we could have done witha coupple of signings, but as long as we arent disastrously unlucky with injuries, I think we could still put in a decent challenge!
Time to end all speculation… After the reserve game earlier tonight, news came through that Arsenal have indeed signed Alonso. The deal has been done in tight circumstances, and over-shadowed by the arrival of Robinho to Man City. Expect BIG headlines tomorrow morning!
i still think your better than spurs
hahaha i wondor how newcastle still fill up thier massive stadium. They havent won any thing in YEARS lol.
i agree people should calm down we’re not fucked. but even sensible people here will admit we needed a dmc. wenger is a genius talk of sacking him is ridiculous but he shouldn’t be free from censure he has made a mistake in not signing a midfielder
most of you lot that are saying get rid of aw or saying he dont know what hes doing .. yur all fuking idiots and not even true surporters …
i bet you aw has sum1 but it hasnt been released yet so dont give up hope… even if he didnt sign eny1 we will still cum in top 4 again.
Sod getting a dm let just score a shite load of goals and make teams fear us
It says nothing there about us signing alonso. You lying son of a b1tch.
I LOVE WATCHING ARSENAL
Wait have we got alonso?
It`s fashionable to be late as every socialite knows but it can be overdone. Once the party is in full swing and the champers start to take effect nobody gives a shit whether you`re there or not. Arsene seems to get a kick out of making the other guests wait.
As for me I`m into my third glass of bubbly.
Lets all pay Tottenham to deduct Man Utd points!!!!! I bid 1 m!!!!!! 🙂
Some of you lot want one good signing? Here he is…….
SPELLCHECKER!!!!
Anyone that wants Wenger out is a complete cunt!!! Yes it would have been nice to sign a couple of players but I don’t think we are desperate. Lets not forget we signed Nasri who is much better than that over-priced money grabbing rat Robino. Ramsey who Man Utd tried to get and we also got back Carlos Vela and Johan Djourou.
The best thing about this transfer window is we have got rid of two liabilities in Senderos and Hoyte. That is a + in itself.
Lets get one thing clear! We have Fabregas, Diaby, Song, Denilson, Ramsey all fighting for 2 positions in the centre of the park. If we signed Alonso how would Ramsey or Song ever develop. If We had a policy of signing big names then we wouldn’t have given Fabregas a chance! Yes are midfielders are young but either Diaby, Song, Denilson or Ramsey will become big players given a bit of time so stop fucking moaning.

If we get the luck we’re due with injuries this season we can WIN the league. Believe u negative fuckers!
top four may be ok but its not winning and to improve on last season is the goal then it secound or first
looks like we have lost Cesc Fabregas because he said if we dont win trophys this season he will leave the club and we have no new players brought in we wont win anythin this season
Well said Frank!
We have bought no-one, although certain sources indicate we will be loaning a player from France for back-up circumstances.

[…] There are some great comments over at Goonherholic. Some fans aren’t very happy, but you’… […]
I am a cunt and I only signed Berbatov because I have a funny fetish of taking it up the bum from vampire looking wankers
AN ITS ARSENAL ARSENAL FC calsberg dont make soccer teams but if they did they’d probably be the best team in the world
Cesc Fabregas because he said if we dont win trophys this season he will leave the club was real madrid not Cesc
It does look like we have some true good gunner fans in here though. Thats good to see.
I personally support arsenal for the way they play so i don’t mind much if a players comes or not.
Thanks El Tomo for that lovely insight
EL tommo? A man city fan ay? If you are… Then WHAT WAS IT YOU SAID LAST SEASON? WITH THAKSINS MONEY YOU’D CHALLENGE MAN UTD? OH YH WHER DID U COME? MID TABLE MEDIOCRITY. EVERY1 SED WE WER GONA STRUGGLE LAST SEASON, WE GOT 3RD AND GAVE MAN UTD AND CHELSEA A RUN FOR THEIR MONEY. DONT GO SHOOTING YOUR MMOUTH BECOZ IT WIL BACKFIRE
No but seriously. That Alonso rumour might be true after all, my mate just called me saying his dad ,who is a taxi driver
just saw alonso outside the emirates.
So we might afterall be getting a body in.
KNEW wenger had something up his sleeve.
We’re doomed now that it’s confirmed we’ve not signed Nathan Ligament from Vienna Schnitzel FC. You should have seen the videos of him on YouTube.
Without this signing it’s clear that Wenger can no longer be trusted. I’ve had Ligament in my Fantasy Fussball team, and Champignonshop Manager computer game for yerz, so I now hope to be chosen as the next manager when Fat & Orange turn us into a rich mafiosi’s plaything.
Fabregas, Van Persie, Nasri, Adebayor, Clichy, Sagna, what chance do we have with people like them?
Hi this is Arsene,
I must let all of you know, that I have not signed anyone this Summer, although I can confirm the loan of Geremie Baladeaux from St Ettiene, the lad is 18 and has potential to cover for the first team.
I hope you all sleep well knowing the signing of Geremie
Arsene.
lukey h could not ahve put it better
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ARSENE LET US WAKE UP TO ONE OR POSSIBLY TWO SIGNINGS….ITS ALL WE NEED BUT WE DO “NEED” THEM.
AN ITS ARSENAL ARSENAL FC carlsberg dont make soccer teams but if they did they’d probably be the best team in the world
El Tommo? Got no room on your Sp**s pages to celebrate your money spunk again?
I know we have a decent squad and believe that they are a lot better than the way they have been talked about,saying that i cant help feeling gutted watching sky sports news, Wenger going should not even be thrown around is ridiculous who could ever replace him! Although i can understand some fans frustration getting the better of them i do believe that if it is the case we have not signed anyone it is another battle for 3rd place and a hope of a run in the champions league,We are a bigger club than that just hope it all comes together now lets get behined the squad and behined Wenger and forget about what we dont have and concentrate on the team and players we have at our disposal
flamini – ramsey
gilberto – bischoff
traore/senderos – silvestre
hleb – nasri
we werent good enough last year, we dont stand a chance this year. only 1 of them, maybe 2, is good enough to replace their predecessor .
how can we possibly challenge for anything when the teams that finished above us have strengtened and we have weakened?
He lies again. He promoised certainly 1 signing before 27/8. What about now? Other teams have improved their squad but not us.
Huh so where in that link does it say we have signed alonso. HUH HUH!!!
Good man Frank!!
Why the hell are you lot bitching about what AW is doin in the transfer market. AW knows what hes doin, hes proven it for years. He gets to see the team day in day out and he knows if we are short, he know what we need, he knows what the team can really do. You all have a faulse sence of security in sighnings rather that thinking of how sucsessful we are clearly capable of being and the great football we have the pleaser of seeing every week with what we have now all due to Arsene Wenger. True Arsenal fans have morals and beleif in AW and the team. So why dont you money grabing, faithless, arsenal fan wannabes go join that money greedy, shallow, bullyish, boring, shite of a club called Manchester United or Chelski or Manchester city as they are the ‘transfer kings’ now ….IN ARSENE WE TRUST……remember it fool!!
alonso deal is done, infact is was done a few hours before the deadline. i was at underhill and steve bould was there he confirmed it with someone in the crowed,i guess he new him o something, and word go around fast.
its probably not been anounced yet becuase the berbatov robinho stories been all over at the moment.
hes not the best choice but he is good. having two playmakers is stupid imo, we needed veloso imo a tough taclker and out and out dm but alonso is great non the less.
im happy with him
wenger why are u doing this to us again atleast u shld hve bought atleast a midfield player. 4 christ sake this is not ur money so why are u so stingy about the whole thing atleast put ur fans into consideration. wat if the injurd players fail to recuperate or there is a injury re-occurence jst like last year, wll b left wth just 13 players to play the season again. whn wll u learn, or wat d hell are u trying to prove 4 for d past 3years{trophiless}.imagine letting go 5players and bringin in 4, 2 of which are injurd.WENGER, MAY GOD HELP U!!!!!!!!!!!
bischoff best be fucking good
JJ14 “Battle for 3rd place”?? We came third by FOUR POINTS!!! FFS
Hi my mum is a cunt and so is Alex, I made a big mistake! fuck UTD I wanna join Arsenal FC.
Tottenham was the biggest joke side I ever played for.
Mind you I am extremely over-rated and will score about as many goals as Wayne Rooney this year!
Guys don’t worry! You see Rafa buys like mad to keep Liverpool happy! But you should be happy wenger is influenced by that silly media shit! Wengers been at the top edge of the game for over 10 years so he knows what hes doing! id rather get no1 the panic buy for 20 million!!!
El Tommo you’re a disgustingly low human being. Fuck off back to shite heart lane u cock. Your football knowledge is abysmal!! The only thing that’s 8th is me. I’m 8th in line to fuck your mum up her arse right behind the jamican athletics team. Pussy!
SHUT UP THE LOT OF YA!!!
We might not have signed because we dont need to. Diaby will be back soon. Denilson plays well with Cesc so not too much to moan about.
I would have liked a loan signing of vieira for one year to give AW time to look for a perfect replacement but its not too bad.
All these teams that spend loads doesnt mean shit. You can only play 11 players and our 11 is just as strong as any of the top 4. Yes, we might struggle if CESC only gets injured but other then that we will be fine.
All of you relax – Wenger knows best. Just have a little faith in the professor…
Bergkamp… He is! He is an Internatiopnal and Bremen didn’t want him to leave even thought he was injured… The Germans ain’t stupid…
Marv tha’ gooner… yeah but do you not think we over achieved last season and because of that our expectations are higher than they should be,do you not think it will be tighter between us and liverpool this season considering how chelsea and man u look although its early days?
Topgun are you sure thats not just trash talk. Come on you sound like one of those people who make up transfer rumours
Like my best friends, brothers, uncle’s sister spotted henry outside the emirates.
“Last year it was at midnight – and we are ready to stay up all night this time if it is needed. We have still a long time to go. We are out to look, if we find the right players we will do it, one or two” (Wenger)
hopefully something will be confirmed in the next few hours!!
I share the feeling of those who are gutted watching sky sports news.
I’m gutted that Murdoch has such power over us all.
Following on from the slow food movement, I intend to found the slow news movement to allow everyone to chill out a little.
i only sold berbatov cos ferguson sucked my cock
Ummm Hackney..Im hurt.. Some of us are trying to talk sense here also…LOL!!
Look at it this way lads, it took wenger 4 season to find a replacement for PV (Flamini), so we only have to wait that long again for wenger to see how important that type of player is.
Wenger could have eclipsed Ferguson as the greatest managers ever in the EPL, Instead he acts like a stuborn ass because he sticks to policy. Its admirable that wenger does that but there comes a point when the end result needs to be looked at.
We build the likes of Flamini and Helb up only for them to leave, is it really worth showing loyalty to players these days.
Another trophy less season, but cheer up lads we stick to policy. Its pathetic.
cant actually believe how tight wenger is!..it doesnt matter who you buy..any1 half decent is better than eboue in midfield is he plays against any half decent team in midfield we have absolutely no chance!…arsene has really dispointed and let me down in his stubborn attitude
i have a fetish for fat balding scottish men with small penis’s, and ferguson happened to be one
Arhhh! Last year they had their fingers on the trophy if not for the lack of depth. Van Persie gets nicked up all the time. Bentner lacks the quality of a top striker. Eduardo out.. Rosicky Out (another injury guy). Vela unproven. The best thing would have been to lose or tie Newcastle that would have forced his hand. we may develop players but if they don’t stick around long enough to win hardware whats the point. Nasri looks good but add one lose two (Hleb / Flamini) An injury to Cesc, Gallas or Adebayor and the season is done.
Holic,
May I refer you to my post of 28 hours ago (See Next 27 hours below).
1. The GREAT news. Van Persie is fit.
2. The NOT SO GOOD news. We’ll be “nearly” men again this season.
3. The MUST HAPPEN news – Goram Inler, He and Cesc? Heaven made.
4. The PHILOSOPHICAL news. The youngsters will come on a ton.
5. The BEST news. The Youngsters will win everything in 2009/10.
NEXT 27 HOURS ARE SILVER CRITICAL (From 28 hours ago).
The shutters will thunder down exactly 27 hours from now to mark the closing of the current transfer window. These hours are critical for Arsenal in two respects.
The first has nothing whatsoever to do with the window and everything to do with RVP’s ankle. If he’s fit, the silver dream lives. If he’s not, the squad isn’t strong enough for a challenge of invincibles proportions. Sure, we’ll score quite a few. We have some great strikers who can play off world class colleagues. But we won’t have that extra bit of something that true world class players bring to a team. In Robin’s case, the ability to score, link the mid-field to the attack and hit dead balls better than anyone on the planet.
The second has everything to do with the window. AW has two choices.
– Add at least one quality mid-fielder and drive the dream.
– Don’t add, develop the youngsters, and replicate last year’s “nearly”
Both are not on the cards. If it’s the latter, we fans will need to have faith in the future as yet another year slips tantalisingly past without trophies to show.
A midfield comprised of any combination of Eboue, Walcott, Cesc, Nasri, Diaby, Denilson, Wilshere, Ramsey, Song, Djourou, Rosicky, will do OK. Just OK (assuming the latter two are fit for ~80% of the time). There isn’t one permutation that will elevate them to world class this season. A buy is a must if we’re to compete to win the trophies we all want this time around.
go to bed over there, it’s only 8pm here so I’ve got some time too go…. Stop the Alonso BS ppl, he isn’t even a DM you wankers, and I’m not even lymie…:0)
went to Man City so I could suck of Berbatov easily!
well well …………….man city with all this money they wont play football like we do …..just shows we should be happy with what we got and belive in a w ….
Huh topgun answer the question
dont worry my minons!..i will take arsenal to new hights!..my head alone is 4ft high
I was told earlier that Alonso had been seen at the Emirates, but I choose to ignore it. I think we have just got to accept the building of the stadium and the redevelopment of Highbury has left us deperately short of cash. Perhaps AW was preparing us for it when he said we had to raise £24million per year for the next 17 years!!
kevin….. well theres not much i can do really to convince you
all will become clear in a matter of hours then u will be like
‘ damn that muthafuka topgun hooked my ass up with some exclusive shit, what a g’
berbatov killed my mum. i’m not happy
I am SHIT
I cost 18m
I WILL BE THE DM THAT ARSENAL NEED I TELL YOU
My eyes may be deceiving me, but I thought I just read “The best thing would have been to lose or tie Newcastle that would have forced his hand.”
I’ve heard it all now.
The boys should have played badly, so that it would be clear that they weren’t actually as good as they are, and then all the whiners here would be proved right.
Genius.
LoL i will hold you to that.
I don’t really rate alonso that much. But i just want somebody.
Rally behind the Fab. Cesc for Captian. Get that Gall-ass out of the team
I only cost 18m!
I bought Xisco!
I let lampard do me in the bum1
I like to use vaseline on dimitar
im gunna cry no new players
I didnt nosh of robinho so I dont get him! but i nosh of deco! he my brother
HI EVERYBODY!!!
I AM ARSENAL NEW SIGNING
I bought Cisco, so we could play router one football.
Boom, boom. Oh lord, it must be late. I can’t believe I just made a bad router joke.
Reason we didnt buy anyone Ive been told is our fax machine went down at 11:43 we didnt have enough time to get paperwork sent into FA.
im really good at champ manager. i play it on a laptop
why did u sell me you pricks i loved arsenal
alonso would be a good signing for anyone as long as they needed a playmaker, we have cesc. in someways he is a holding midfielder but not the type we needed. we needed a tougher, player who gets stuck in, someone in the mould of veloso or momo sissoko.
even michael johnson to an extent
I can confirm that my aunties, cousins, sisters, boyfriends, uncles, little brother is Xabi Alonso and he said he saw elvis and 2pac leaving the Emirates and He was arriving. And they just brought Arsenal and 50 Cent is the new CEO..
i have to suck off robinho every tuesday, wednesday, friday and saturday untill his contract runs out. now thats taking one for the team
im on the wrong website
I buy players on football manager, i BUY SAME PLAYERS IN REAL LIFE.
this shit is weak. screw you guys, im going home.
117Ken
Anyone that wants Wenger out is a complete cunt!!!
– You are the cunt here, cunt
Yes it would have been nice to sign a couple of players
– why exactly?
but I don’t think we are desperate.
– we are, cunt
Lets not forget we signed Nasri who is much better than that over-priced money grabbing rat Robino.
– Is he? What evidence do you base that on? Ah, yes … he’s OUR plyer therefore he must be. It can’t be on international appearances or market value, obviously.
Ramsey who Man Utd tried to get
– Wow! 17 yrs old and good enough for the Arsena first-team but nowhere near good enough for ManU’s … and you consider that a coup?
nd we also got back Carlos Vela and Johan Djourou.
– meaning what? Vela might be great one day but he’s also a child. Djourou is good, at least better than average but the answer to our defensive frailties? I don’t think so.
The best thing about this transfer window is we have got rid of two liabilities in Senderos and Hoyte. That is a + in itself.
– true, so we have lost two defenders, and bought ONE ManU REJECT – ffs you must be a total moron.
Lets get one thing clear! We have Fabregas, Diaby, Song, Denilson, Ramsey all fighting for 2 positions in the centre of the park.
– awesome … one belongs to Cesc, and which one of the other bunch of not-good-enough or not-fit-enough youths do you suggest will fill the holding midfield role? Duh! None of those players is good enough, cunt. If they were … why would your God – wenger be trying to buy Alonso or Inler? Eh? Just because he LOOOOOVEEEES to spend the millions we give the club every week?
eIf we signed Alonso how would Ramsey or Song ever develop.
Easy – just like at every other fucking club … they get better and replace him when they are … BETTER. Simple – it’s called COMPETITION.
If We had a policy of signing big names
– nobody is calling for ‘big names’ simply some experience and depth …. get your facts straight, cunt.
then we wouldn’t have given Fabregas a chance! Yes are
midfielders are young
– that’s ‘our’
but either Diaby, Song, Denilson or Ramsey will become big players given a bit of time so stop fucking moaning.
– Really? How much time would you like to allocate to their development? Mmmmm let’s see – Ramsay needs about four years? Denilson judging by his recent performances, about three years, Diaby … will *never* be good enough …. Song might be good enough in a year or two … is that ok for you then, cunt? Let’s just wait another three or four seasons before we have a defensive midfield eh?
CUNT
IM AN UNFUNNY WANKER
Alonso’s passing ability is a myth. He gets the ball then hoof’s it across the field to a winger. Thats all his does. His shooting is on par with denilson, and thats saying something.
Marv – I can confirm that.
I saw Elvis in the Rocket on Saturday…
I am still at Liverpool
I cheated on my wife. With a man!
Damn Ben. I thought that was Rick Astley!
Has anyone else noted the really low brow and petty ‘one inch penis’ and ‘cocksucker’ comments? =|
If this is how you spill off when rival teams make what are, let’s be honest, pretty impressive signings, I shudder to think what you’d say if someone let’s say… gave you the wrong change, or someone bumped into you by accident. Would you go off on a rant about how they had ‘tiny wee balls’ or how their ‘mother likes it up the arse’?
Try and save some self respect and don’t post what are quite frankly, shit.
‘mon the Gunners
According to Wikipedia Touloulon is set to sign for Millwall. Funny.
spot on el tommo. fuck arsenal under wenger. i support man city now, least they have ambition
my mum is a man
kevin come on …lmao i agree with the hoof but come on his shooting is better than denilson. still id rathe have him and cesc than denilson or diaby and cesc all season
I’m never gonna give you up Marv.
Stephen– Off you go.. You MUST be a former SP**S fan
im actually blind
LOL @ Ben!! Ahhh Astley, is there anything he CANT do???
I have just been made manager of Arsenal FC. I have just managed to get 6 transfers in:
Marek Saganowski, 14 Million
Rory Fallon, 1.2 Million
Jason Puncheon, 500k
Simon Walton, 8.9 Million
Dean Kiely 2.5, Million
Damien Plessis, 1.8 Million
Check the transfer comfirmations: http://tvnz.co.nz/view/page/411337/2051353
yeah i am, thats why im going to another team THAT ACTUALLY SIGNS PLAYERS WITH ABILITY NOT POTENTIAL
>shudder to think what you’d say if someone let’s say… gave you the wrong >change, or someone bumped into you by accident.
bring in Usmanov. He’ll sort them all out. They dip naysayers in hot oil in Uzbekistan.
You’re the type of person I’m on about =D
Oh what a class act you are
Look ask TopGun! He’ll tell you I am actually the new manager of Arsenal!
cheers m8
who ever keeps posting those stupid comments with various players names …fucking stop it u cunt.
and go to bed u fuking 5 year old unfunny twat its past your fuking bed time
No no no. Watch him carefully, apart from those fluke 60 yard goals can you remeber any other goal he has scored
Marv – you may have something there.
I’ve started a petition on the 10 Downing Street site calling for Rick to become Arsenal manager.
Astley for Arsenal.
were screwed… miidseason lineup
Almunia
Sagna (if not injured)- Toure – Gallas – Traore (clichy’ll be injured)
Walcott – Ramsey – Denilson (Fabregas’ll be injured)- Nasri
Bendner – Adebayor (lets face it van persie’ll be injured)
mid table team!!!
read my blog tomorrow morning, usual arsenal talk on there. you know how to find me, just type arseblog into google. or follow the links on oleole.com to get there! till then
“holicedit. Strange, this is not blogs at all, but I would recommend reading him, and the link is here.”
http://www.oleole.com/blogs/arseblog
Paul sturrock is the new manager of arsenal……………on football manager………fuck off u prick
I wish all the whingeing twats on here would fuck off and support someone else, like Spurs, where all that negativity wouldn’t be wasted. Or stick to Fantasy League Manager, where they’ll no doubt out-manoeuvre Arsene every week. Panic merchants of little faith, the lot of them.
Seriously, this forum could use a moderator to keep out the more moronic elements and Spuds fans masquerading as Gooners. Or have we really descended to calling one another “cunts”.
Last comment I’ll post on this.
alonso may not score goals but at least he aint a poor right back turned shit right midfielder turned even worse central midfielder
Hmmm! just got a text from Arsenes, cousins, aunt frida. she said that
Stephens a cunt and it WAS Elvis at the rocket…
True. I would rather have alonso than denislon, but maybe not diaby, i rate diaby alot.
I just want 1 established player who comes in and does the job. In a similar way to nasri.
Toulalan was 3rd in the Ligue 1 2007-08 player of the year awards along with a place in the team of the season. Toulalan has been spotted at Millwall’s The Den, and is believed to sign for around 15 million euros should he pass his medical. It is believed that Toulalan infact failed a medical at Arsenal’s London Colney.
No way. I actually can’t believe that!!!
See for yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jérémy_Toulalan
What a pleasent surprise it is to see that you can understand sarcasm, especially when you seem to be the type of person who’d have trouble understanding the concept of a knife and fork
i just for a txt from arsene himself, he said he didn’t sign anyone because hes too stubborn and felt it was more important to get players like gibbs and randall to sign new deals than sign anyone established and stop their progression
I was on another blog a few days ago and read someone saying that they’d decided to support Liverpool as Arsenal weren’t going to win anything (think it was Liverpool, or some other grotty club).
I was rather taken aback to say the least. Reading through the comments here though I think there are a lot of people like that.
It’s very strange.

I cannot believe that rubbish. Thats so blatantly fake it has to be.
thats untrue.
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jérémy_Toulalan
you jokes are not funny people
“it WAS Elvis at the rocket…”
see. You should now say “In Ben I trust”.
I’d better go take the Astley petition down though.
arseblog is a good blog…. i read it !
i felt the team showed great spirit but we just maybe lacked a little bit in the final 3rd
y cant we sign any1
??… why is it always the rich cunts……
… fuking wenger dusnt wanna buy ne1
we always fuking lack a bit!
http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/arsenal-in-lastgasp-attempt-to-capture-alonso-915884.html
apparently alonso
oh thats really mature using my name to post that now im convinced that yuor a 5 year old tahst up way past his bed time.
when u get the likes of alonso playing at a club like arsenal, you can really see a difficult time ahead for the likes of the manchester uniteds, the chelseas, and the liverpools. i can really see arsenal dominating this season
did i mention i cant spell?
alonso, barry, berb***v, etc. … just 1 and ide have been satisfied!
i dont really exist
Benitez denied that story. Alonso is apparently staying with the Kopshite.
i take it all back. ARSENAL WEBSITE!!!! NOW!!
i dont exist!
im off now and im gonna be having nightmares ……. ‘arsene is setting arsenal up for failure’
i hope im astonished tomorrow
sniff, when did he deny it…..its not on any sites or on tv, whats your source for that
yes i did mention i cant spell
Exactly top gun. Benitez denied those rumours
i wonder where i’ve disappeared to?
i dont open for nobody
You guys are right! Arsene out!
Let’s get Jol in. He signs a few 10+M players every season. He’s got the right ambition for a big club.
To many clowns on this site.
Come on the Arsenal.
And please please fuck off to the lane all the so called Arsenal fans calling for Wengers head. Heard it all last year – and see what happened.
There are far to many happless cunts on here that have played FIFA to much and there only idea of money is pocket money.
Wenger has done an amazing job and continues to do so. Who else has qualified for the Champions League 11 years running? Compare out stadium to any other in the world….
Spoilt prick kids – I want a trophy and I want it now. Happless cunts the lot of you.
Interestingly there’s a piece on the news at the moment about corporate lobbyists throwing lavish parties at the Republican convention.
It makes one think – spending big money in politics. Spending big money in football. Do the public ever benefit?
“BEN KNOWS”…Stephens a cunt…..
sydney gooner i agree 100%
Gooner for life – I think I saw it in the BBC deadline day discussion board – not a great source I realise…
Sorry that last message was meant for Topgun
marv.
would diaby, denilson, ramsey, or eboue get onto the man utd or chelsea bench, let alone get into the 1st team
Ben- I think they should spend it on spurs…Just as much of a waste really…
Thanks for the vote of confidence Marv 😉
I’d call Stephen Stephen a cunt too, but the last time I uttered the word was on Saturday when I suggested that Samir N should “deck that racist cunt” barton.
Just moments later Nasri trips him up and all my fears of him being bullied by the big boys in the Prem fell by the wayside.
I’m therefore saving the C word for selective use at the Grove.
Stephen..Not at the moment, but i bet fergie would take em for the future. He already wanted Ramsey..
Ben – what with the serene cerebral shit??
Ben – I was there too (Unlike most of the tossers here!), What a moment…
ok, Stephen’s a cunt.
sniff…… ok a source is a source…i doubt it tho becuase if he was to deny it that means hes given a statement of been interviewed and that menas it would be on sky sports news or on a few sites but its not
Marv it was sublime. They even showed them squaring up to each other on Match of the Day later that night. I think Nasri’s going to be a real asset, and heh, he was a purchase, and over £10million too. Who says Arsene’s not been buying?
Sky sports really love hughesy right now… getting on my neck.
NOW HERES A SIGNING….. WOKING SIGN STRIKER TONY THORPE!!
NOW THATS NEWS!!!
All you belly-achers should switch to Spurs — spend mindlessly, that’s your motto. No spending = no progress. That’s your creed. You’re perfect for Spurs.
If Wenger had bought Joey Barton AND paid 18 million for him, you would have cheered and crowed.
Hleb was a waste, less useful than Eboue. Gilberto was a bench-warmer a year younger than he is today. Flamini was impressive; Jens was entertainment. And all you wankers wailing away think last season was a failure, an indication that the team isn’t strong enough. You think Adebayor is inaccurate — what a laugh! You really do not understand what you see.
I hope there’s another player on board by the morning, but all you disaster mongers were whining the same tune last year, and your were wrong then — so why believe you now?
I hear what you’re saying topgun.
However, the article intimated that Arsenal didn’t beat the deadline in any event. If what the journo says is true I’d be a bit annoyed if we failed simply because of a slight difference in valuation.
not at the moment. exactly. maybe in a few years? well in a few years they’ll be looking for a new club as per, we’re now down to our 3rd and 4th choice cm for the season, when flamini was out last year gilberto come in. so now we have no experience in the middle with fabregas, and if he was to get injured what do we do? play 2 un experienced players that might be good in a few years? wenger has brought this all on himself, he bought ramsey for 5m… city paid a little bit more for kompany. so he cant say he didnt have the funds he just didnt use them correctly. we now are totally lacking in the most important area “Why put another layer of gold paint on the Bentley when you are losing the engine?”
It was good to hear people chanting Adebayor’s name again too. I must admit even I booed him a little at the Emirate’s cup, but what separates us from the rest of the folks here is that we get behind the team when it matters.
Indeed Ben,
When Bischoff is fit, Cesc, Nasri, Theo, Vela, Alonso (oops! not til morning), Eboue (plays better centrally), RoSICKnote whats not to like. Nasri is the real deal amazing signing…
and Vela looked a class act too. With Rosicky’s new bionic leg, and Eduardo’s speedy recovery it’ll be like a whole raft of new signings.
Why do you think Eboue plays better centrally?
Marv, we typed much the same thing at the same time. Scary. A whole run of posts that make sense!
I even think Comrade Eboue will come good.
Indeed did u notice how when he was legging it all over the field the crowd got behind him.. And Theo was Instant when he came on and Vela too.. I was suitably aroused, leaner to gate F 12 seat 376 please!!
LOL!!
agree when your paying tens of millions its stupid to agrue or break a deal for a difference of 2 or 4 million i mean if you have enough cah to spend in excess of 12 million then u can afford to pay 14-15 million.
i mean playing hard ball is ok but when it comes to minutes before the deadline u must stop trying to save a million or two and pay the asking price. whats 1-3 million pounds to any top club, answer, nothing
i love you ben….
We finish each others sentences.. *Sigh*
I’m a block 6 boy.
My clients would be amazed to see me jumping up and down.
lmao
fuking hell bart gave me the wrong website.
ben and marv… match made in heaven
Shame you’re not Martha Gooner 😉
i lost my glasses so instead of signing xabi alonso i signed the invisible guy for 15 million.
looool, so you dont swing what way then??
Agree Topgun – it is most strange.
I don’t see how a game of brinkmanship with Liverpool was going to work anyway. They have nothing to lose by keeping Alonso. Such an approach was only ever helpful when Rafa wanted Barry. Alonso is not approaching the end of his contract either.
An odd approach…
So you guys are pretty sure that we are going to get alonso. As i read a article in the indepedent where it states that they rejected our bid.
i am so pissed of that we didnt sign any i really wanted alonso to sign but it ses it got rejected.
Sniff – I think its cus he has more space. Theo/ Nasri draws the midfield wide opening the middle I think Eboue and cesc relish that. He has impressed me since he played there. He still has to stop dropping like a fag in prison tho’
i say what i heard… weather it happens or not no source is 100% until u hear it on the arsenal website thats what i feel.
however im willing to put money on this one happening, maybe not an large amount tho
Shhhh!!! go to sleep lilttle ones.. The Football fairies will work their magic whilst you sleep!! Arsenal always wait til the morn to reveal their treasures..
Lets hope so.
LOL@ Ben – hughes is a smug fucker today eh?? He need to get results now or Abu dabi dooo will fold him faster than superman on laundry day!!
right ive turned off sky sports news, the lack of news was frustrating me. when i turn it on later they better be talking about something other than berba or robinhoe but were not going to hear the end of that until the next transfer window when chelsea try to get city back my offering £100000000000000000.01 for messi
quiet at last…Glad to see all the cnuts have crawled back to the dank places from whence they came (not you ben LOL)
It’s like a magic roundabout of dodgy foreign autocrats at City. Though I’m sure Dr Sulaiman Al-Fahim is obviously a childhood fan.
where do u live marv?
ROFL @ Toppy. Its gonna be fun to watch the chelsk and city fighting over players. Gareth barry for £40 milly anyone??
NORTH LONDON BRO SOUTHGATE!!
I should probably take my magic carpet up the stairs too.
fancy a beer? i live in kentish town
hey marv, im from cockfosters, just up the road
Um, the ‘where do you live’ comment was not actually from me. I think the troublemakers are out of bed again…

Actually I live in Islington, so the fake me has it wrong.
someone is posting using my name i think, i didn’t say “Um, the ‘where do you live’ comment was not actually from me. I think the troublemakers are out of bed again…”
Ooops, I guess that makes the real Ben even more of a rich cunt 😉
lol where in southgate do you live, you not one of the hoodlums thats hags around in the asda or at the kfc are you??

Whats the rocket??? If you were a TRUE Gooner, you would know…
looks like the real Marv is back. just when the real Ben was really going to bed too!
To be honest with you i was expecting a new face, maybe a holding midfield player, but oh well! wenger is a great manager and i am sure that we will be fine! best tactition in the game, so that makes us in with a chance…4th place i hear??? nah we so nearly had the prem last season and only missed out becaue of the shock of eduardo…ade will score a bag this year! and fab and nasri will do the job in midfeild…kolo is back and almunia is looking sharp…I SAY LETS STOP MOANING GIVE WENGER A CHANCE AND
BRING ON BLACKBURN IN 2 WEEK!
Here here jj!
lol has annoyed me slightly but oh well! what you think ben?
Well, we don’t yet know for sure that we haven’t bought someone – the deal might have gone through, but the PR not been done.
Tbh, I think we’re not much weaker than last season, but now have that little bit more experience, and with a bit of luck we might bridge those last few points to the top.
yea yea, i hear you..i have only been a gunner for like 10 years, as long as i can remember, and i just no the glory days for arsenal…this is a little different to what i am use to with arsenal, but i think that if we dont let games liek the fulam one slip away (that was stupid) then we will be fne. i think that we will have what it takes to beat the big teams..but i feel like we arent a team full of stars anymore, just a real tactical team if you get me..if wenger left and we got some other manager in i think that we would be in the shit then, because they wouldnt know what to do with all the different types of players, so all those people calling for his head i think is stupid…but yea ill be on skysports in the morning!!!
I went to the Fulham game, and I must say it was one of the most depressing Saturdays I’ve spent in a long time!
I was just behind the goal so couldn’t avoid seeing our cockup on a set piece.
But this Saturday I thought we were a joy to behold.
Should have re-signed me. I will make it along with Cesc no doubt.
yea, that game was a shame!! we had 30M to spend, and i think that Robiniho would have been a great player for us..but i still think that theo is coming into his own, and it will be great to see him get better and better this season..van persie is looking sharp, but is he injured? he caught his ankle? anyone no how long he is out for? and franny jeffers? my ass lol he was shit anyway…rather have theo any day!!!
Scoring on Wednesday will have been great for Theo’s confidence.
Apparently rvp is ok, as he’s going on international duty, but my heart’s always in my mouth whenever he ends up on the floor!
yea yea deffo, every time theo puts the ball in the net its like more enjoyable, partly because he is english, but also because he is getting so much better for us…and oh good, i know what you mean…i think that he is a great player when he is fully fit…oh yea and just for the record i think that we have one of the greatest left backs in the game! gael is quality
I always sing the Clichy songs at the top of my voice. He’s got skill, intelligence, pace and seems like a thoroughly decent bloke too.
The new Theo song is pretty good.
chim chimminny chim chiminny chim chim chareee who needs ashley cole when weve got clichy! got to love that lol…he is so quick..i would like to see him on the left wing you no
i am guessing that thats the clichy one you were on about unless there is another one? lol..and whats the theo one?
Now that the kids are done saying goodnight and we are back on subject, I think it is fair to say we will be waiting until January.
As a few have already said, it is cheaper to buy in winter than summer. Wenger is an avid economist, no?
The situation isn’t entirely pessimistic at all. An optimist would note that now the youngsters of the squad have three months to prove their ability.
Showing that kind of confidence in your team would be called inspiring in any other sport.
Red-nose can have his Bulgarian Princess, let’s see him play third fiddle to Ronaldo and Rooney. Robinho wouldn’t have been any better, he’s already shown how he respects his clubs.
We have a good core group of players in this team that can now lead our youngsters for three months.
All too soon we forget that our chances only really began to fall apart against Brum last season. There’s no reason Wenger cannot inspire a repeat of that form this season.
Then, toward the end of January when fatigue is settling in, Le Boss can use our budget to address the immediate situation that will affect us taking the premiership.
Our early form (minus Fulham) should be enough confidence of continued success for the autumn months.
to be fair i am a kid, and i know what i am talking about…i know what you are saying about the inspiration of youngsters in the team, wanting to prove a point and helping us to the top…but i dont think that we can just get to the top because of that…all i was saying is that 1 or two signings in the key positions would have been nice for depth and cover…also everyone knows that we need a defensive mid because we have lost gilberto and flamini…so to say that we can make do with the players that we have (young players) is wrong, because we players in different positions…plus we cant just put this all down to the young ones, anyone would agree that experiance helps any team…even if its on the bench…
@jj
Gael Clichy Clichy
He’s better than Asherly
He shoulda been number three
Gael Clichy Clichy
and the new Theo one is
woh oh theo walcott
theo theo walcott
he’s the englishman at arsenal
(sung to the tune of an Englishman in New York)
nice!! lol you like my one or clichy? lol
I agree, give everyone a good run – we have the strength to go till January, then spend a little then to fill any weaknesses that become apparent. We might get some bargains as everyone else will be bankrupt by then.
we’ve been doing the chim chimminy one as
who needs sol campbell when we’ve got djourou
oh that one chim chimminy chim chimminy chim chim CHAROOOO
who needs sol campbell weve got djourou lol i love that one too
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind with the kids, they’re alright
The kids are alright
double winners 2008 – 2009
But if that experience is even required we cannot know. Arsene cannot know.
Why buy to be sure when you can do that in January?
Denilson suprised many with his defensive ability against Newcastle while Nasri certainly showed guile throughout. Strengthening our left flank with the “next-zizou” negates the amount of work Flamini put in at CDM.
Young Jack might be 16 but his preaseason got him Gilberto’s old number 19, he can figure into the team. As will Ramsey, if he wasn’t going to play he’d have been back to Cardiff on loan.
Vela is another one. He has spent all this time at Spain and is ready to prove himself. Once the Mexican is more fluent with the English pace he will adapt easily. Asking him to compete with another “premiership experienced” striker would be pointless and costly.
One of these youngsters could prosper, if not there is Diaby, Denilson and Eboue as players who can play at CM. As well as Song who seems torn between CB and CDM.
There are plenty of options to be tested. In January the season will have changed and new positions may need to be strengthened. I am happy to wait until then with the transfer budget as it is, than waste it on perahps unrequired experience.
blimey, looks like it’s people in sensible timezones here now.
I guess the fact it’s half four, and I’m trying to write a proposal in another window explains why I’ve started to sound much less erudite 😉
Vela seemed really sharp the other day.
Ramsey’s not convinced me yet, but then he’s still to be broken in.
I’m surprised we’ve not yet given Song a really thorough run out as DM.
Sensible timezones, I like that. 🙂
I think Ramsey will be great. Can’t wait to find out.
okay then another point i class of player…you think that all of those midfielders that you named are anywere near the caliber of essien, deco, ronaldo, paul schols, frank lampard, alonso and steven gerrard…..yea we have cesc, he is better than all of those, but every top 4 team has atleast 3 world class midfielders to hand, and if they didnt they brought world class midfielders….to be honest i am not happy to gamble and wait untill january because that could be the season over by january, and it should only just be getting started…
Another few hours, and it’ll be a sensible timezone here again, and insensible fpr you 😉
Where are you from Scott?
Other than the pre-season games, and being a few yards from a kickaround he was having with Bendtner, Vela and Fabianski the other day I’ve not seen enough of Ramsey, other than to notice that he flags when he plays for a while – not quite got the stamina yet.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xabi_Alonso#cite_note-0
2nd paragraph. we wll find out the truth behind that tomorow!!
Our season will not be over by January, not by a long shot. They may not be world names in your football manager fifa game or on skysports but they are Arsenal names.
Wenger’s previous form deserves more respect than to think he would allow his title aspirations to fall on a “gamble.”
I would not be crying if someone like David Villa or Arshavin (pre-sp*s comments) had come in at the start of the window like Rosicky did a few seasons ago if I’m not mistaken.
Buying a player like that now would look like panic buying and would change the whole morale of the team.
If not a world class player then it falls back to buying experience, and we’ve already discussed that.
cant sleep jus clutchin on to straws but if u go onto wikipedia type in xabi alonso and it says ‘It has been suggested that Arsenal F.C. have made a successful last minute bid before the closure of the transfer window to capture Alonso and bring him to the Emirates’ but wen u click on the source they got that from it says it couldnt find article. jus thought id let ya no
clutching at straws* sorry but it is late!
Wikipedia is such a plausible source isn’t it?
I’m in Australia, Ben. Just looking through all the newsfeeds while at uni and stumbled across this site.
Hello mate,
It’s late isn’t it! Not sure I’d trust Wikpedia as a source tbh.
Have a nightcap and hit the hay. If we spent all the energy that we spend worrying about transfers on cheering the team on, imagine the noise we could make 🙂
Whereabouts in Australia?
Dunno if you know of http://youngguns.wordpress.com/ but I suspect you might enjoy taking a look from time to time to see who’s coming through the ranks.
have you got the link for the wikapedia thing?
http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/arsenal-in-lastgasp-attempt-to-capture-alonso-915884.html
this is the source wikipedia are baseing that comment on. but its unclear if we were succesful or not
Fucking wenger….liar !!!…..anyone who still defends wengers a fickle fan with no hunger to win pots….Is it wrong for me to wish my team win something after a 4 year dry spell…..no?……wengers stubborness will cost us dear be warned !!!
Im a real arsenal fan not a fake lol but we really do need a cm went to the game on saturday and it was like we should have won 8-0 and because of shit players we cant. Please please please say we signed Alonso he is such a great player i will be pissed of tho if we havnt signed anyone. But doesnt mean we cant we league.
Oh vela vela
your better then hunterla
oh yes you are
oh vela vela
Do we need anyone really? Loads of injured coming back later in this season. We struggled last year because of the players that are coming back were then injured. Sure, every team always needs another one but i dont think its time to call doom and gloom as we perenially do of late. Diaby will replace flamini, nasri looks like a good yet more aggressive sub for hleb. The best news is Senderos has gone. Thats worth 3-4 goals a season…..
Thanks Arsene, why lie to us, stayed up all night waiting for news while you were in bed.
Liar, Liar, Liar
You better hope we have no injuries you tight arsed git.
Goodbye top four!!!!
AW you have become too lazy.lazy to know in time you have money.lazy to scout(funniest quote”the problem is finding players who are as good or better!!!!!).lazy to retain Flamini & Hleb.Lazy to realise what a plus it would have been to add Nazri with Flamini & Hleb around.Lazy to know that you have won ZERO cups in the last three years? especially in the Emirates.Why belittle Spurs boss of just 5 months when he has won CCup?Lazy to realise you have no friends in managerial circles.finally lazy to realise your squad is inadequate for years.lazy to realise mistakes happen where things happen.Look at Fergie.Lazy to realise Football First(trophies!!!!).money follows.Are you counting on selling our Maradona next year to restart your experiment again? Lazy to realise your fans are not lazy.maybe the Board is.
you are creating enemies out of frends.Start respecting Mark Hughes et al-am sure you will at the end of the season!
Don’t say goodbye to the top four! Shut your mouth and be optimistic! A real fan should support, trust and believe in his team and manager in any sircumstances! Stop moaning here! Wait till the morning at least. In Arsene we trust! Go Arsenal!
Good grief. Look at the state of this place! What happened to your pot man ‘holic?
*wipes spillage from bar*
Ewwww….
“Man City is the flavour of the month, why don´t you rejoice at your new signings, because while Arsenal do the talking on the pitch, it´s evident that signings are more important than trophies to some people.” Excellent comment Frank. The point of being a fan is you have no control over your team and eventually your support is unconditional.
Plus all this hoopla about signings is media generated hype. If Alonso was available we would have signed him. He isn’t andno players of that calibre are available so we did not sign anyone. I am obviously dissapointed but calling for wengers sacking for not signing someone who is not available is acting like a Spurs fan. We are short DMs but hey who knows maybe this allows Song to step up the plate. Whichever way I will always support Arsenal. And to the c*nts talking about switching teams, you never were Arsenal fans anyways so enjoy bandwagonning you miserable c*nts.
il wait for wenger to tell me if we have or have not bought any1 not you!!
Wenger has over promised and under delivered yet again on transfers. If we didn’t need anyone- why has Wenger consistently said that we do /-it is clear to a blind monkey that we do.
Oh God, here we go again.
I thought after last week (v Fulham) we’d nailed the **** about crtics having to join Spurs or, now, City? This isn’t some third world dictatorship.
FWIW, Arsene visibly nailed his colours to the wall by appearing at the reserves. He’s saying this is his squad and he has absolute faith in it.
So, there can now be no excuses about injuries, suspensions or (unbelievably as someone posted) travel fatigue after international duty. This is our squad and we’ll see come May whether it’s weaker than last year’s or not.
As my only previous two posts stated, I wanted us to sign because we appear so close to challenging if we had a decent sized squad (not just a fab first XI when the sun shines). But that’s that now.
Final thought for those complaining about anyone doubting Arsene (or even vice versa). Is there some part of discussion forum that you don’t understand? If you don’t like to discuss why be here? Why not simply stick to the playground….
I’m sure AW did his best to get Alonso (or Barry, earlier), but you know how hard it is to negotiate with such impulsive morons like Benitez (or O’Neil).
SAgooner:
You are a legend.
I’m sick of these plastic fans who’s only Coaching knowledge comes from Football Manager on PS2
IF you dont like Arsene then piss of and go join Chelsea, where you can make your own dream team each year and still win nothing.
Oh, and by the way if you know more than Arsene, why not apply for his job, I’m sure the Board would definitely choose you.
It’s true. We have to keep it in perspective. Petty jealousy for the size of other squads is neither here nor there. We have our squad and we will stick with it and get behind it.
Who siad youngsters could not stand up and be counted anyway?
*runs away*
Well well well…..I’ve just risen from my slumber to the news that we have made no more signings!!
Whilst being clearly disappointed, there is a part of me that truly believes Arsene Wenger has sent a very clear, powerful and unequivocal message to the existing squad members.
Something that goes like….”Guys, the press are already dismissing us as a spent force. Our rival fans are dismissing us as a spent force. Even some of our own fans are dismissing us as a spent force. Off course, I don’t! I believe in you guys and have demonstrated so. I’ve taken all the flak on the chin for YOU guys. Now it’s your turn to deliver back to ME!!”
So bring on the campaign!!
By the way well done to Anonymous. Unlike Gaz-Baz and a few others you have managed to string a few sentences together. Unfortunately that apears the extent of your argument (other than the obligatory advice to join another club).
Assuming Mr Brain is on loan, perhaps your argument is that Diaby will step up and stay fit. Or that the operation finally cures Rosicky and he’ll be the midfield partner. Or that Song will be given a go and do what he does in the ANC?
I repeat, slowly and with shorter words in fairness, you have no say in who anyone else supports. Not believing Arsene gets things 100% right does not mean you cannot support Arsenal.
Snail- 100% agree with that but…. we cannot now use the squad size to excuse any performances due to injury, travel or suspension. I just do not believe you can have it both ways.
Just seen Don’s post before I head off to work. Agree with that too.
Wenger’s appearance at the reserves says it too, I think. We just have to hope Cesc stays fit for the year now…..
im actually really pissed off that we didnt sign no 1 .. i was looking faward to seeing a new face to our squad 🙁
448 drinks?
Fucking mentalness!
The counterpoint to blogs’ super spot-on blog from today.
Superb. I think I’ll just have a coffee now though, it’s still early 😉
Fucking hell ‘holic!
That’s fucking amazing! 450th! Get in!
i want to hear arsene wenger himself on an interview why he didnt bloody buy any1!
452nd.
Takings will be up ‘holic 😉
All I have to say is MEH
Looks like I may need to think about a new barmaid and a cleaner…
See if you can borrow some barmaids from the Tolli, they are renowned for their excellent ‘personalities’
😉
*Squeezes in by the fruit machine*
dont worry guys, we’ve got amaury bischoff. he’ll win us the title!
These new opening hours seem quite popular ‘holic!
amuary bischoff is crap
Hey I have an idea, why don’t all you weenies shut the “F” up about signings and get behind what we do have. I will bet you any amount of money AW knows exactly what he’s doing, there is ALWAYS an answer to a problem if you look hard enough…. AW being at the Reserves last night answers that for me, he knows what he’s doing. Once again for all you “Water-necked Backwoods Retards” out there “shut-up” and support the Arse you tools….
*searches in vain for a clean glass*
Wow! I had the strangest dream last night..
Some crazy bunch called abu dhabi brought Man city and want to take over the footballing world by doing a “chelsk”. In one day, they laid out 300 million euros in possible transfers and manged to land some doode called Robinho for a princely sum…Phew, thank god it was only a dream…
Hi to all supporters whatever your opinions.
You know we can talk this subject to death but we’re not going to change anything.
I’m not an AKB, I’d like to think I’m a realist.
Perhaps we should embrace what has happened (however disappointed we are).
We have proved we are different.
We are have already shown that we don’t have to buy success, we can earn it.
We do play beautiful football
We’ve had bad luck with injuries.
We have huge potential.
We have players who WANT TO PLAY FOR US.
We are still in every tournament.
We are 4th in the Prem table
WE ARE THE ONE AND ONLY ARSENAL………………………………………………….
*Pops in for a swift half after work. Looks at carnage. Pops out again*
I think I need a stiff drink now.
Aah nelly.
The Tollie barmaids…..
I think anyone who uses the abbreviation ‘AKB’ should be strung up by the fruit machine and beaten with a pool cue.
Just saying, like.
Pint please.
What’s September’s guest beer anyway?
Is it that Wiltshire Ullage?
*points dubiously at handwritten sign on traditional hand pull pump*
Get a life Nelly – that’s just the sort of inane infighting for the sake of infighting I was suggesting we put behind us. Arsene Knows Brigade/Best – there, are you any happier….give me strength….
i hope we’ll buy someone over the winter transfer window, or else it will again be the oh-if-rosicky-didn’t-get-injured-we-would’ve-won season.
should of just signed me back

I honestly cannot believe the pathetic comments on here. No one has the divine right to win anything. Have you all caught the Chelsea Bug? Spend big and win? Where were Chelsea before Abramovich? A spell in the old 2nd Division for those too young to remember. When United first won The Premiership, it was their first title since the late 60s. Liverpool dominated the 70s & 80s, but they’ve never won The Premiership. I actually support Carlisle United in League 1, top of the old Division 1 in 1973 after the first three games (beating Spurs & Chelsea along the way) then got relegated. I’ve experienced non-league football. You support your team through all the good times, and all the bad, no matter what. You Arsenal fans have experienced highs I never will. You’re team are an absolute joy to watch. Wenger has revolutionalised the game in this country, he’s also responsible for your magnificent new stadium. Support him, your team, or go and support Chelsea and now Manchester City, who’s success comes at one hell of a price.
We’re DOOOOOOMMMMMEED
AND its Ar-sen-al, Ar-sen-al we SING
We’re by FAR the greateast team, the world as ever seen.

“we were 2 players short of having a superb side, a holding midfielder and a decent center back, now the squad is just full of inconsistent kids.
4th is all we can hope for”
