I thimk Wenger refusal to buy a qiality and experienced players will caused him heart-ache this seasson. No fans will pity him as he has spoiled our chance of sucessful seasson with his stinginess. Lehmann should please step down for serious keeper before he finish Arsenal chance of success both in EPL and Champion League.

[...] match ended 1-1, a fair result in my books – and the exact prediction I made yesterday (Hurrah!). It was very much a game of two halves and Blackburn definitely deserved the equaliser [...]

Arsene Wenger said yesterday that he won’t blame Lehmann for his error.That means he’s going to stay in goal.How many more points will Lehmann cost us before he’s dropped.We have only conceded 2 goals in the EPL this season.Both Lehmann mistakes.
We are yet to even see Fabianski in action with Arsenal,I think we should definately try him out at some point sooner rather than later.Rather than mid-season where we may regret it if Lehmann makes even more infuriating fumbles.
If Fabianski aint ready,bring in Almunia,at least you know where you stand with him.

Spunking 15m on Micah Richards would make me love Wenger forever.
Jens to be benched.

Lehmann should be retired to the bench and Fabianski or Almunia take over. He is the only player who will let us down this season. Luka Modric or Ricardo Quaresma should be bought.

Wenger should buy a winger before the transfer window closes next week.

we really need a left sided winger at least, i dont know who is available but we need someone. i got a feeling luka modric will be there.
real madrid lost again last night to sevilla 4-3 or something.
good to see real madrid losing, maybe the new manager will be sacked next year

I was only able to catch the second half and I just have a feeling we might continue struggling against mid-table and lower teams again unless something happens. Why is it so difficult for the Manager to see that a winger is a MUST if Arsenal are to pose a strong challenge for the title?

Speaking about the BB game, I think bringing on Bendtner instead of Denilson at that point in time might have eased the pressure and probably given us the win. I just feel the lad is being given too few minutes to make a meaningful impact.

I am an ardent Arsenal fan but in all fairness BB deserved the point. You could see the goal coming as the pressure mounted. We should not allow mid table teams to make us look so ordinary. And given that I wasn’t too impressed with the Fulham game also. It could have easily gone the other way. I am abit worried at this rate.

CONSISTENCY is what will count at the end of the day and we just dont seem to have gotten there yet.

we wont get richards, this guy is 19 and he is having strikers in his pocket.
we keep on saying excuses oh he is young, he will learn. but micah ricards is different class.
man city will never sell him unless he wants to leave for a bigger club and he does support arsenal.
anyways lehmann has to stop being casual, he moans and everyone knows he is the weak spot in the team, especially for set pieces, i will admit it, sometimes he scares me.
it was a good performance in defence, sagna played brillantly, he has been our best defender, i aint worried about him.
theo walcott could of made it 2-0 in the first half then the game would of been buried, he had a chance to roll the ball across, but he just chipped it heavly and van persie could not get near it.
that was the best chance
