What about all the penalty misses this weekend – incredible . Our own Cesc , Lampard for Chelski , Defoe for the Spuds and Ronaldo for Real Madrid – he also got red carded – Ha!
It must have been World Penalty Miss Weekend !!

i wonder how many times have we said “we were unlucky” this season. Too many goals missed yesterday, we won’t win anything playing like this.um not sure wot our midfilders are doing, they seem to be cruising somewhere between the center line and the oppositions penalty area. i don’t see them helping our defenders and they are not a threat when we go forward either. every time sagna crosses the ball i see 1 or 2 red shirts. it was however a better display from nasri. is rosicky still interested in playing for this club?

The lack of positivity on here today and yesterday has suprised me.

We’ve just won 2-0 to end a difficult period while Chelsea has lost. Let’s get behind the boys and stop worrying about what we don’t have when we can’t get it for another month. There’s no point worrying about size when our three tallest and strongest players are injured.

Hopefully the positivity will be back after today’s post – it’s been long overdue. Cheer up!

Check what Arshavin has to say about the team’s lack of height and strength.This is so obvious that we need tall player and strength in our squad.
We need a tall and strong Center Back and move VERMAELEN up to pair with SONG, get a new striker on January,
WHY AW CANT DO THIS????? Everybody, even his own players all say that we need a tall center back cos we suffer a lot from set pieces, why in the world doesnt he want to do it?????? Now Bordeaux refuse to sell Chamakh, You snooze you loose buddy!!!!! dzeko is too expensive, 75Mil price tag for D.Villa, So who is he thinking of bringing in then???These are only some of the names that I think of who can match RVP,s class, there might some others but I think they would be expensive too!!!.but i really think that we are still gonna suffer this January.

SAGNA-GALLAS-NEW CB- CLICHY
———SONG-VERMA——-
————CESC———–
THEO——-NEW STRK—ARSHA

By the way,Arsha was very good as central striker.
Up the Gun!!!

nonny,dude iv done the whole ‘wait and see’ and hav kept faith for a long time now,and so hav alot of other arsenal fans…this is the only blog i post on but i occasionally go read on others just to make sure im not being negative or overly critical,as i hav been often accused.im sorry to say at this moment you are the minority,ur waiting,hoping that things miraculously turn around and that their really isnt a problem.well their is,the fact that these players promised potential hasnt come to fruition isnt down to bad luck or wotever ur blaming it on….its been 4 years+ now,so for spanish,ice and gunnerboss etc to say players arent good enough and the manager needs to change his style are well warranted and correct….if we had a 27yr old player when arsene started these promises hed hav been sold,retired or left because of the lack of siverware….4years is a massive amount of time in a players lifespan but you seem to be ok and wanna wait for another 4yrs,and its not that we havnt won anything,its how far away from winning things wev been…
cesc will leave in the summer and arsha was voicing his discontent last summer about needing to bulk up the squad,that was after being here 5 mths!now he too has been begging the manager to make some moves,but who do we get linked with????more ‘prospects’
nonny do you think i like speaking of utd in that way???their a shower of c$nts but you cant but envy the way they took apart west ham after wot we did there and the personel they used in the process…..i cant help my anger at this point becos its a result of so much pent up frustration and the managers failure to recognise issues and failure to ever acknowledge our fans and i refuse to stick my head in the ground and come up smiling after beating stoke at home 2-0,maybe if the manager had ever once just said ‘i feel for the fans’ or apologise to travelling fans after gutless away displays,but no he doesnt feel accountable to any1 despite the thousands of times ‘theres only one arsene wenger’ rings in his ears, hes gotten more love and trust than youd give your wife but wot has he given you in return the last 4 years????not even acknowledgement,and in between the poor run hes given us more than his fair share of touchline controversy which reflects badly on us and the club in regards to fair play.and he never sees anything!!!!be honest and come out like moyes and bruce,its refreshing!!!!
the standards at the club hav plummeted and where chels,utd,pool and even villa/city/spurs hav so many players who fight and uphold club traditions we only hav cesc,gallas,verm,RvP,sagna and arsha who ,IMO really care and who fight when our backs are to the wall….do i think deni,almunia,nasri,diaby,eboue,walcott,vela and co woke up last monday morning as gutted as all our fans??? not for a second…theres minimal interaction or connection between some of these guys and our fans and there a world away from wot this club stands for…maybe we are just a stepping stone club for these guys…wel i wont stand for that and i want guys who want to put the jersey on and give you everything,there my standards and,as a paying fan, i wont apologise for refusing to except anything less

i couldnt agree more with you spanish gunner!
although i have huge respect for our manager for the guy he is, very disciplined, hardly thinks of anything else but football, but lets be honest here, you can never grow a team on a tree . take an example of Barca they have the best academy in the world, without a doubt, yet they go out in the market and buy a couple of players every season who they think will fit their system perfectly and make it better, why cant Arsene Wenger do that ?
just do out buy a Centre Back, Goalie and a Striker, thats it! Arsenal becomes a force in Europe there and then !
Please go buy Dzeko, Chamakh and get a decent center back, and dont miss out on Akinfeev like we did on Given and look what Given is doing for those stupid Citizens!

Gunner till the day i die .. !!
