Totally agree, it’s been an interesting debate and your right Mark we’re getting a bit nervous and frustrated but that’s only because we LOVE this great club of ours.

Hopefully we won’t draw any of the english sides and go on to win it.

Spanish Fry great point about not panicking, whatever happens this season we’ve done great, let the mancs have all the pressure and hopefully we can snatch it from their grasp.

Bert has been a great servant to Arsenal but losing his place to Flams and the lack of games has certainly affected him.Hopefully he can go to another big club and finish his career there.

Whatever happens this year we’ll be better for it next season a bit more experience perhaps the addition of a couple of quality players and we’ll win the lot next year.

Totally agree, there was no arguing. I enjoyed the comments in this post thoroughly – it was great to read.

There’s no need for Arsenal to panic going into the final bit of the season – everybody is expecting United to win it now and that could really fire up our boys. Even if we don’t win it’s been a great effort to even be in with a chance at this stage of the season.

This wasn’t fans arguing this was an interesting discussion with lots of good points raised. I think we are all getting a bit nervous because we are so near again but could lose it all. Now we know Liverpool are through as well I really think I would prefer a foreign team next and not one of the premiership teams. I just feel they know how to play against us and frustrate our type of football. As for Gilberto …he has given this club really good service and we should all thank him and not forget him for that … but he is past his best and cannot compete at the top level anymore. Well that’s my view.

Gooner4life, it will only be a winning formula if we win something.So it’s a bit premature to say we have a winning formula.

You’re absolutely right Mark.
My grievance isn’t about this year or why we lost against the spuds or the mancs.It’s the overall picture I’m looking at.Like many of you guys I didn’t expect us to have a great season, what I did think would happen, was that we’d strengthen the squad this season and that might come back to haunt us.I HOPE NOT.

This team is not that far from ruling europe, I really believe that, but all I’m saying is when a player becomes available that will truely improve us, then we should have no reservations about buying him, whether he costs 5M, 10M or 15million.We are in a good position financially so that should no longer be an excuse. AW will always unearth exceptional talent at little cost but occasionally a young player will become available who will cost that little bit more and that’s where we need to act.

Gooner4life, I didn’t say we should play like chelsea,but given the choice of winning trophies, yes I would play like chelsea. Have we forgotten the days of George Graham I don’t believe anyone was moaning about the brand of football he played. Remember 1-0 to the Arsenal. No, fans shouldn’t abandon their team because they are not winning trophies but Arsenal ain’t “any other club”, we’re a massive club and big clubs should be doing there upmost to win trophies.I’ve been a supporter for 38 years and saw more of the Arsenal when they were winning didley squat, so my loyalty is unquestionable.All I’m doing is giving an opinion just like everyone else. It seems to me that some of you guys believe we’re the finished article and buying million pound players won’t necassarily make us a better team.I am not saying that we should pay good money for has beens but there are young players out there who will cost a few quid but will certainly add something to the team.

So would you be happy if we spent nothing for the next few years, kept faith with some of the players and won didley?

And on Diarra, yes he was impatient but I believe he would still be at the club had AW handled it differently.The team has cost less than shev and rooney but manu and chelsea have been winning trophies we haven’t that’s the difference.
Good or bad we all love Arsenal and will stick with them through thick and thin but that shouldn’t stop us having opinions and expressing them.That’s what football is all about “opinions” that’s what makes it the game it is.

WE’RE NOT ARGUING GUYS, JUST EXPRESSING OPINIONS.

We will pull through. Even Man U and Chelsea will lose points and Arsenal is likely to suprise man U and Chelsea by beating them in their own backyards. Arsenal fans should stop arguing and believein the team. Senderos and Wenger have backed the team to pull thru and win the remaining 9 games.

I don’t think anyone is quarrelling today (I wish I could say the same for yesterday) – it’s just been an excellent discussion about some interesting points.

This is a tough time for Arsenal but I’m confident they will pull through.
