woo! games on, go gunners!

holy sh*t that was NUTS.

:icon18:

fukn wonder goal from that kid, we cant seem to do anything in the final third, theres a lack of creativity in the midfield, thats where not having fab kills us, I hope RvP comes in in the second half because our attack definitely needs a boost.

doesn't help vermaelen just left us with a silvestre + campbell defensive line.

I know, we'd be better off moving Eboue to the back and bringing on walcott in midfield.

and proof right there, campbell and silvestre caught sleeping, down two goals.

wow, how eerie is that, eboue moved to the back, Walcott brought on..

RvP warming up...

Gunners are going dowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn!

:eekdance:

robin van persie returns!!!!! :tup: :tup:

DAMN!! Gomes (keeper) is on fiiiiiire!

bendtner!!!!!!!!!

c'mon you gunners!!

robin van persie is my hero.

right after cesc, that is

title hopes are gone, but one good thing us gunner fans can take from the game is the resurgence of RvP, every single time he touched the ball it was dangerous, and the announcer is right, had RvP been healthy all season, the top of the table would look completely different.

how disappointing is that man, i'll give it to em', if it wasnt for Gomez's brilliance, the game would easily have finished 5-2

this game also showed me that Almunia spends more time out of position than in, we need a world class keeper and Fabianski and Mannone arent the ones.

i still want one more striker, as bendtner is spotty at best. i guess we've signed marouane chamakh though, four year deal apparently. well...okay, but i'm still kind of mixed on that one.

but for now, transfer window should be filled with thoughts of central defenders and goalkeepers. i read somewhere we're rumored to be pursuing martin caceres, but the last thing we need is an injury prone defender.

arsene wenger has the money, now is the time to spend...

god gomes was amazing during the last part of the game, batting aside flurries left and right. props to the spurs goalkeep this game, but still...

f*ck tottenham. :tup:

Well whats great about the Chamakh deal is that we got him for free being that his contract with Bordeaux ran out, so we're not at a loss there, still got plenty of money freed up. Central defense is a must, we need Mertesacker lol, for as tall as he is (6'6) hes still reasonably quick. I think we also need another defensive midfielder, Song and Diaby have both proven to be injury prone, I think Melo would be an excellent fit.

Arsenal left to start the post mortem after Tottenham defeat - Barclays Premier League - ESPN Soccernet

for once i like what kevin palmer is saying :tup:

"As the post mortem on a fifth successive trophyless season begins in earnest for Arsenal". Like a dagger in the heart :(

rvp, stay healthy, dammit ><'

at least barca has come out and said they're not going to pursue fabregas this year. really odd though, considering it's an election year, so wtf?

So uhhhh. Red370 do you believe me yet :D

bastard. ;)

Trend seems to be that RvP always starts strong, picks up a minor injury, out for a month or two, comes back, contributes a boatload of goals, then re injures himself and doesnt finish the season, god I hope next year is different. I have a feeling that if we go trophyless again, AW will no longer be a part of the gunners future, unfortunate but likely.

You shoulda taken my bet :D

definitely not :icon17:

So who do yall think will take it next year, unbiased opinions...

Too early to tell

as much as I hate to admit it, Man City has been putting together a string of nasty ass whoopins in the league, i wouldnt doubt they'll be a top 3 team next season, hopefully behind us.

-all of the typical English super teams will be there excluding Liverpool. Man/Chelsea/Arsenal/City will fight for it....and as long as Man U don't win im all for those other 3 teams with a bias towards Chelsea since i am a fan of Ancelotti.

-on another note im dumbfounded how freaking Roma got to the top of Seria A, real sneaky.
-also read a while back Torres was being eyed by Milan, that would be interesting.


Blue stop playing COD....i haven't run into any competition anymore/good matches doing random live matches.

i reserve judgment for next year until i see what happens in the transfer window. chelsea is aging fast, manchester united still hasn't impressed me with their "OMFG ROONEY HALP!!!" offense, arsenal hasn't won in five years and has no defense to speak of...

aston villa was up and coming, but right now i'd put everton ahead of them. i'd think

1. chelsea
2. arsenal
3. manchester city
4. manchester united
5. tottenham
6. everton
7. aston villa

verrrry tru, and that list looks good

Couldnt agree more, if we add a solid defender, good defensive mid, keeper, and stay healthy, we could very well win some trophies next season. My top ten table:

1. Chelsea
2. Man City
3. Arsenal (could finish top if we add some much needed reinforcement)
4. ManUre (Better add another world class striker, complete rubbish without Rooney)
5. Everton (form of late has been amazing)
6. L'pool (provided Torres stays put)
7. Tott'm
8. Aston Villa
9. Fulham
10. Birmingham

i don't even consider l'pool because i have doubts on torres stayign

:icon18: I'll play a few tonight

Batman will agree!
