Happy Sunday one and all! It’s FA Cup day, we’ve landed a bit of a duff kick off, but what can you do? Aston Villa come to town in what should be a fairly simple contest. My pal who is a Villa fan is pretty certain we’ll beat them, they don’t really have huge amounts of quality, but in the form we’re in at the moment… I wouldn’t rule anything out. They’ve taken points off Chelsea at the Bridge and they’ve started to look half decent lately.
Last time we played them, I missed the game, but it was only a late 87th minute goal that saved our bacon.
The injury news is looking favourable. Late fitness tests for Thierry and Arteta should see them in the squad along with Bacary Sagna and Coquelin. The return of a proper right back is the best bit of news we’ve had in a while. Having someone mobile in a position we’ve really struggled with couldn’t come soon enough. It’s just a shame all those players couldn’t have been back for the United game last week.
I’m expecting a strong line up not least to get some defensive confidence back in the team. We need to start getting back to winning ways fast. This is a great mini spring-board opportunity and hopefully it’ll be a chance to shake off our second extended hangover of the season.
Something I did wonder about is how the effect of Jack being out for the season will affect the rest of the players. I’m sure it must boost the team to see one of their star performers working their way back into contention… not least for the relief of having some quality in the midfield with the added hope that he adds to our chances of a top four. We obviously won’t be able to judge the impact, but it’s an interesting point to note regardless.
Wenger has been on the defensive about young players and the problems he’s been having. Firstly, he spoke about how hard it is to rest a player like Jack Wilshere when he’s one of the best players in the team.
“You can convince him he does not play when he is not good enough. But if he is not injured and is one of the better players in the team, it is hard to explain to everybody that you don’t play him because he might maybe have a future stress fracture.“
Now, you can take the situation we were in one of two ways. You could frame the argument by saying he was too good to drop, or you could frame it the other way and say that the squad wasn’t good enough to drop him. The latter was the issue as far as I could see. Jack gives it his all, 100% effort all the time, but I don’t think anyone could say he wasn’t visibly tired at times last year. You might not be able to pin an exact injury that might occur in the future, but you could certainly predict that if you over played a kid, the chances are he might break at some point. In fact, we made that point many times during last season…
Sure enough… that’s what happened. Just like it did to Vermaelen after we ran him into the ground in his first season
The other issue Wenger was talking about was the one to take off Chamberlain…
“People forget that to start him [Oxlade-Chamberlain] against Manchester United, a player with no experience, it takes guts to do it at the start.
“He came on at Manchester United when we lost 8-2 and nobody spoke about it. But to start him in a game of that magnitude [last Sunday] and then for him to have done well is very positive for us.”
This is another comment that you could take a number of ways. Sure, it takes guts to play an 18 year old in a game like the United one. However, what was the other option? Andrey Arshavin who we’ve given chance after chance all season? Did Wenger really have an option? Not only that, we’re not talking about playing an unknown… we put £12million down on him. He’s should be top talent for that cost and he shouldn’t have been be a major risk if we’d done our home work. Which, it turns out we had done.
Wenger once again bragged about young players wanting to play for us because they get a chance. Well, that and the bundle of money we throw their way. I’m not sure young players wanting to use Arsenal as a stepping stone is something to be shouting about. I’d prefer it if young players came to us because they admired how amazing our first team is. The idea that we buy them up and put them in regardless of how well they play seems to have got us in all sorts of bother over the years. Realistically, are they coming to us because of the chance, or because they see gaps all over our first team squad?
We need to strike a much better balance going forward. That said, Chamberlain is the type of talent you don’t mind us throwing in at the deepend. Powerful, creative and… as Wenger put it… fearless.
The decision to take him off was bizarre at the time and it still is. He played Jack in 50 odd games last year, so why he thought he needed to rest Chamberlain after 70 minutes is beyond me. Alex Fynn said in the podcast he thinks it’s linked to Jack Wilshere’s injury… I’m not sure I agree. Maybe if he’d played 20 on the bounce.
If Wenger is considering a move, word on the street is that Real Madrid and Jose Mourinho may part company at the end of the season. Jose has done a pretty good job getting his team in front of Barca in the league, but the football isn’t as expansive as the Madrid fans would like to see and Jose has done some pretty crazy things over the past couple of years… the craziest being that he keeps losing to the greatest team ever in the El Classico’s. If Madrid came knocking in the summer, would Wenger say no? Or would he thing… you know what… I’m pretty good at working with world class players… this could be my last chance for a move like that?
Who knows… but he’s put it out there. His family are looking to move back to France, this might be a nice, warm stop off along the way. One thing you can be sure of, even if Jose does want a Premier League club, it probably won’t be us should Wenger leave. I have my doubts whether United would have him as well… he can be brand damaging to a degree.
Anyway, it’s time to forget that and look forward to an afternoon of exciting football. Today not only needs to be a win, it needs to be a confidence boosting win where we play nice football and hopefully craft a few goals. It would also be nice to bag a clean sheet. I expect the crowd to be on good form and I’d imagine we’ll all be kissing Arsene’s backside after booing him last week.
P.S. Remember to listen to the podcast I put together with Alex Fynn, it seems to have had a good response so far which means I’ll have to get some more in the pipeline! More detail about Wenger’s future and what his family want to do are contained inside…
If you’d like a copy of the book associated with the podcast, see below. Well worth a read.
Sunderland or Middlesbrough next.
Very surprised by that turn around.
We don’t usually win games in this manner.It feels great.But the debate will be about the poor defence,vulnerability to setpieces etc etc
The game is never over until the final whistle blows. All you negative idiots with your stupid comments should just fuck off this is the most worthless anti Arsenal site in blog world.

Bergkamp63….totally agree….who can be surprised by this ? Certainly not me. However would be totally surprised if we showed some bollcks and came back – Now that would be a surprise!

It surely was
wenger doesnt train against headers as he believes it is vertically doping that some players are bigger than his
Does anyone know when Santos is back? I guarantee you we’ll start winning more when Pumba’s back.
Frogman, why then to bother
Who’s forcing you on here you dimwit mug!
Great 2nd half by underfire players btw !
Hope we can get some momentum going now
Apparently Santos is clear of injury but it will take 2 month’s to lose the fat!
Frogman @
noone is forcing you to be here you fucking cunt
Theo is such a Eaton Uni talker.
un fucking believable. 2 nil down and i storm off in disgust and make the family dinner… my kid looks at the stream on the 71st minute and says ‘Daddy, Arsenal have scored three times’.
Fuming, more at the first half performance than anything else. It was so demoralizing i fucked off for my tea!
Fuck on a number of counts.
Yep Pacman – fair play to the boys and Wenger, he clearly had words at H/T. Complete shock to see a come back of this stature given what has been going on recently.
The FA Cup once saved Ferguson Man U career – and look what he went on to. Not saying it will in Wenger’s case but a few players come back and suddenly there is a different outlook.
Just wish they could defend!
this is what i wanna see….that 2nd half performance everytime…but sadly we are a joke in context of producing it consistently….
so in larger picture….this win means whatever zzzzz
AOC looks like he’s been at arsenal for years while Walnutt looks like he just came from the championship!!!!!
The Ox is a gem . Well done Arsene for signing him. Now go out and get a few more you tight shit!
True that, Azed. OX is class. Fantastic talent.
I mean it’s normal to be anti-Arsene given his track record, but the amount of people here openly cheering for us to lose ….. have a fucking word.
Take that Mcleish you Carrott headed Crankie. Hate that guy just less than his assassin defender.
Great 2nd half pefrformance, see what can be done with the desire.
Roshitty U played well, as did Ramsay, Kos & Walcott.
Mcleish U jus been Van Persied.

zacharse,
like what?
well i got that one wrong then…..the good luck of 2 pens hey!
he’s now looking for a loan forward to quell the gripes….tevez till the end of the season according to romford pele……
Will never want us to lose, but that first half was unbearable. For a few million we could have picked up a full back for the last three games and not lost them all. The Ox would have ripped Swansea and Fulham apart yet AW plays him against United.
This one victory does not replace the last few months of shite that AW has presented… AKB’s need to get vision longer than the last 45 minutes. Mugs.
will that idiot never shut up
WHERES GAMBON???
It took 2 penalties, we wouldn’t have won in open play. The result is just masking over the problem, our team is simply not good enough anymore and that’s not me being a killjoy, I’m looking at the bigger picture.
I love a good football match even if it means that the opposition is making my day, today it was villa first half and the Gunners in the second half, Thank God we won, we needed it.
Benji: probably celebrating the win in a pub on Holloway Road?
Wenger was a lucky man, his team turned up during the second half. Best I have seen Ramsey play in a long, long time.
‘ I will not say anything will happen but we have 10 players coming back’
Wenger playing his cards close to his chest on transfers, not looking good though

Are u sure it is tevez?I heard he was looking for one of messi or ronaldo.

Frogman. There are a lot of negative comments on here. With good reason you prick. We again relied on a massive stroke of luck today. Two contentious penalties and a fluke Walcott goal. Pull your head out of your ass you AKB dick.
LeMassive: Spot on what a dick
great feeling to win of course… but we simply are shit with HEADERS
hardly could win one at the back, in middle of the park and upfront!!
if we fix this issue we may do a little bit better….
Ivan Glasidis re signings “lets see what happens in next 48 hrs”
Come on Ivan do the right thing!!

Carlos Tevez or Marco Tevez??
we definatley know now we wont be getting tevez on loan now ice said so
It’s time the board grew a pair and started taking things out of Wengers hands, he is dragging the club down and they are letting him. It doesn’t take a genious to see that we might have won today but we could lose the next game regardless who it is. This team is a toss of a coin team and Arsenal are better than that and above that shit.
I remember once a Mark Robin’s goal saved Fergie from the sack.
I wonder has that 2nd half performance saved OGL.
Mmm probably not.
Gazidis: “All of the money we make is available to Arsene.”
“We’re about making, not buying, star players”
yawn
So who is actually disapointed we won?
im pretty happy that for 15 minutes we put in a top performance dial.
means we have something to work with
We came back from 2-0 and got 2 pens, never thought I’d say that.
if even Gazidis can’t tell Wenger, who’s gonna tell him? Will*Bill*?
twatter rumour: a bid for podolski was made at beginning of transfer window and, because it was typical low bid, it was knocked back.
twatter rumour: bid was made for vertonghen, yesterday. things might happen come monday.
personally, i think nothing will happen.

Villa are stupid! They should have let Ramsey go in untouched, he’d have blown it anyway. Arsenal have been gifted a goal by stupid play from Villa.
Are u sure u’re an arsenal fan?
aw said a ‘miracle’ was required for a signing in this window.
Great day, an epic tennis final earlier in the day and an awsome comeback, terrible for my heart and blood pressure I have to admit
Kiwk fit
The man is unsackable when it comes to footballing results. Financial results are another matter. When attendance and eventually revenue drops then they will start to consider what they should do with him.
Yeah the comeback was good but still worrying against a poor Villa side at home, doubt there will be any signings now.
Sagna’s back and we won its been a good Sunday, save the dooming till tomorrow TIME TO GET PISSED

He had an ok game today.. And a would be pleased if he turned out good!
With The Ox playing well and when Gervinho comes back we have a 3 options on the flanks that may get him on his toes.
DialSquare
i’m not disappointed we won, but am under no illusion that every win of this kind makes Wenger think he is vindicated in his choices. The Podcast if you haven’t listened should be a wake up call to all fans.
You should all be able to go over recent history with the information revealed in the podcast as a backdrop and understand Wengers motivation. I for one believe now more than previously that the sooner he is gone the better we will be.
He is like an all pervasive poison in our club and every level is affected. The fact that the board are allowing him to get away with this whilst asking fans to pay more is criminal.
pulling his thumb out of his bum would be a “miracle.”
fail to see how winning is ever a bad thing. football is not chess, nothing good comes from pushing a pawn.
In the cup, the win is more important than the way
One at a time is enough
another great twatter rumour: dalglish has asked newcastle for ba, and would be willing to include the alcoholic donkey to get the deal finished.
Sounds like he might be in the market but as they say all talk and no action.
main priority is to get players fit and then bring in players–wenger.
froggy if you’re happy with that and alls well because of 45 min you must be one dumb arse of an akb
hazardeden10 Eden hazard
incroyable remontée de vous voir les gars lundi
Just bAck from the Emirates!!! Awful first half, with toothless tipy-tapy football. Great second half (TH14 did the team talk at half time, this was confirmed by Kozzer to a French radio). Every one went back home happy. Great game by Rosicky. Oxo, Le Coq and Kozzer. Awful game by Fabianski and Walcott (why were they on the pitch today?). Arteta was defensively useful in the end. The rest of the team was ok, they fought hard in the second half when they were chasing the game. Overall, not a great performance but we are through.
yup I think RVP’s celebration with TH12 confirmed that Josip.
i thought walcott played well, found lots of space in behind
Eden Hazard on Canal+: “My decision is made, I’m leaving for England at the end of the season.”
Chelsea?
This is very funny LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Reds paid £20m after seeing fake Downing video
When Off the Ball heard this week that Liverpool decided to fork out £20 million for Stewart Downing after being duped by fake YouTube footage of the winger showing off his skills, it was instantly dismissed as a huge steaming pile of codswallop. ‘Nobody can be that stupid,’ we thought.
But after trawling through numerous reports we stumbled across the following quotes from Liverpool chairman Tom Werner and Off the Ball’s jaw dropped so far and so fast that we’ve had to have it wired back together by a hugely expensive orthognathic surgeon and can only drink soup through a straw for the next two months.
“There was some footage of Stewart where he was, from 30 yards away, kicking a football into five different trash cans and it was brilliant,” Werner is quoted as saying in the Liverpool Echo. “[Liverpool owner] John [Henry] and I said: ‘Oh my God, this player is brilliant, we’ve got to figure out a way to make a deal with him’.”
Read that again.
Off the Ball has the telephone number of a good surgeon if you need it.
It was only later that Werner and Henry realised the footage had been digitally enhanced as part of a campaign to boost season ticket sales at Downing’s then club Aston Villa. Since moving to Anfield in the summer, Downing has scored no goals and provided zero assists in 22 Premier League games.
Still better than Walcott though.
20 million pounds for 0 goals 0 assists in 22 games..
Geeezzzzz….Dalglish may be inspirational but his buys are awful…
I know having 2 or 3 key English players is great….but just filling a team with english players just for the sake of it is absolute rubbish…
Quality is what counts more than anything…. and in our case we are somewhat short on quality….

Eden Hazard on Canal+: “My decision is made, I’m leaving for England at the end of the season.
Chelsea it is then
Keyser are you saying Downing is better than Walcott?
Well based on those stats above I would say no….but I would concede that he is a more natural winger than Walcott….Walcott aint no winger… Walcott as all of us have said is a sprinter first..footballer second and he will never be world class imho….
However I still think we could squeeze more out of him as a striker…
Thats the only way Walcott will be of any use to us…He should be played the way Michael Owen was…
I mean look at Hernandez at Manure….he contributes a big fat zero on build up plays….but his pace and positioning and finishing makes him dangerous..
Walcott has the pace and is a decent finisher and i believe he can learn the positioning…there is a better chance of him learning that..than learning how to dribble with the ball…
So at striker Walcott would be much more useful…
Edens translation, incredible come back blah blah something like see you monday? Dam i wish i listened in french class lol
Gooner?
Worth a read. Not sure about Barrios though.
http://pasiondemultitudes.weebly.com/1/post/2012/01/if-arsenal-loses-this-one-there-should-be-an-internal-enquiry.html
Hazard wants to play for a big club who plays good football but doesn’t mention trophies.
Song is the weak link in midfield. Thought he was poor again today.
Le coq should be given the DM role IMO.
I like Barrios. A powerful but also decent with the ball forward. Good at linking up play. I thought he was the best option that would be available after thinking about Podolski’s past record. Would be delighted if he signed!!!
Hazard- its most likely Chelsea. never read anything about Arsenal negotiating.
I suppose he’s got to better than Chamakh Goon!
Lurch
Not 100% sure of translation, but it seems that Hazard us is tellling Arsenal players: ‘See you on Monday, lads!’ What a bomb that would be if he were to come and sign for us on Monday! Let the dream come true…
Before you all get too excited,
http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/29012012/58/ligue-1-hazard-want-play-england.html
every 1 will know i have said that hazard will sign for us. the deal is done
vertonghen will sign by deadline day
I was in France on holiday a while ago, and I was introduced to Eden Hazard’s brother Thorgan by a friend of mine (My mate’s father owns a really famous restaurant- its rated by Gault Millau, hence, he met Thorgan there) According to Thorgan, Eden prefers Arsenal to the other English teams due to the presence of Arsene Wenger, who Eden is an ardent admirer of, also, Vermaelen and Gervinho are good friends with Eden. Another interesting piece of information is that Eden was on the verge of joining Arsenal in the season before lasts transfer window(he wasn’t as famous then) however, Wenger chose to let him stay at Lille. Thorgan told me that unless if Madrid come calling in the summer, with the assurance of first team football, Hazard will join Arsenal. There are still chances that Hazard might sign this transfer window, as Thorgan said that Wenger was desperate to conclude this deal quickly, however, Lille want to keep Eden till the end of the season, and then try and sell him for top dollar. The talk of other english teams being linked is rubbished, as Eden will only join Arsenal, Madrid or Barca according to Thorgan.
tbh i dont want Hazard. First he wanted to come to Arsenal then it was Real and now hes been flirting with chelsea and PSG. He just doesnt seem like he wud stay for a while and the are concerns over his attitude too we might just have another Nasri. Another thing is hes a wide player and i think if we shud spend big it shud be in the middle of the park. A DM and an attacking one and we are set…another striker wud be nice too
Don’t delude yourselves guys…We all know what Wenger’s like!
He won’t buy anyone because he’s a stubborn French bastard.
AND, if he does…It’ll be some 16 year old unknown African…
Maciek… yellow card for hoping we’d lose… fucking hell, grow a pair.
http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11670/7464835/Positive-news-on-Wilshere
In an interview with Canal+ yesterday, Hazard said that the EPL was more suited to his style of play. He also reckons that he would learn more in England than anywhere else. Good lad!
It can’t be us though. Its highly unlikely we are going to pay that high a transfer fee.
Hazard is coming to us!!! Lequipe did say it yesterday and it happens! Come on!!! Hazard is an arsenal player! When is he going to say it??
Come one guys, hazard wants our style of play. Wenger wants hazard. We have the money!!! He is an arsenal player!
I won’t get my hopes up.I don’t think we’ll sign hazard.Wilshere returning early would be a major boost.
Don’t get too excited just yet Dutchman
We have the money…But we won’t spend any of it on players…
Renewing contracts…And Arsene’s + the boards bonuses are more important!
I predict that Hazard will go to the team who finishes 4th.
Evening folks.
Any news?
i predict xagu is feeling a right tit right now for dissing kozzer for 2 hours on thursday
I predict that I will be feeling a right tit later
Wouldn’t get your hopes up yet about Wilshere, Wenger very vague today even Diaby’s ‘comeback’ is not certain when can’t trust the time lines of recovery they give.
Regardless could do with a couple of signings but one first team signing would be progress this window, the rest can wait for the summer.
If Hazard had the choice though unless we get rid of some of the deadwood we can’t afford to pay those deserving good wages, but he seems a ‘fan’ of Arsenal and Wenger who clearly rates him highly.
Kwick
We’ll finish fourth…
Alex McLeish thought it was an elbow ‘ in the dish’ by RVP.
Seriously Diaby shudnt even be in discussions…if he comes back good but we cant plan around him. That injury fucked his career hes just a bonus now. A positive is Le Coq tho. Hes got the tools to become very very good for us

Oh the irony !!!
A ‘section’ of Arsenal fans being happy with a win, pisses you off..?? Lol
Hazard is coming to us in the summer not now in january. He said it by himself, that he is leaving in the summer.
Hey Pedders …good call on the yellow card for hoping for an Arsenal loss.
Should possibly be straight red though.
Not stopping……
If we want to pitch ourselves as one of the best clubs in Europe then buying Hazard is an absolute must!! He’s not the only answer but allowing another club to sign him isn’t acceptable.
Imagine having Hazard and The Ox on the wings with VP in the middle. We could flog Walcott off to Liverpool for £47.3 million and make funds towards the deal.
But wenger is such a stubborn prick. Everybody can see that we need a new striker or winger and some midfielders. Because Ramsey is just nog good enough yet. And rosicky and benayoun are fucking shit. Why the fuck does he not buy soem midfielders?
Honda is going to Lazio for a few millions. Unbelievable that everyone sees that we need some creativity but wenger is happy with his squad. I’m so happy on the day he leaves us. And it doesn’t matter which players are going with him because our new manager will spend hopefully!! Just unbelievable! We can’t be fourth with this team (if wilshere is not back quickly). We need some creative players! We won’t qualify for CL without a very good signings, you french senile!
I think the Hazardeden10 account is fake to be honest!
OMG! The ox, RvP and Hazard. What an absolute brilliant attack!
Dutchman!
I wouldn’t get too excited, first off if he were coming he would want us to be in Top 4 which looks really tough, not that CFC have improved in January but there are still two days to go and Im sure AVB is looking for someone who can assure them of a Top 4 finish! We cant catch Spu*s and the top 2. No chance
Dutchman
OMG! The ox, RvP and Hazard. What an absolute brilliant attack!
——————————————————————————–
If there is anything i have learned about Wenger over the last few years is that he never does the obvious, Never!
Can’t see him signing anyone in the next two days either
Saad I remember it being confirmed account in the summer.
Alors propre sur moi au CFC?? Vos avis lol
He’s reading our tweets lol google translate ‘So on my own at CFC? Your opinion lol’
Oh he meant Canal Football club the show..
Hazard to join us?…Yeh right!
Why the hell would he want to miss out on champions league football?
Stop dreaming guys. The only way is DOWWWWWN.
From now on it will be St.Gunneringhams day instead of St.Totteringhams day.
Wenger OUT Mourinho IN
OPG
Yeah i just read that tweet, but just 18K followers for one of the hottest properties in Europe? I’m not too sure.
Although, i do agree with someone who said he’d create a Nasri like situation for us in a couple of years time if we do sign him! The idea should be sign him, another striker, preferably Llorente/Podolski and tying up VP on a longterm deal.
Sell Theo if the price is right in the summer and get Adam Johnson in!
Pedro: Any idea what happened at H/T? Because obviously something did.

Regarding the Hazard CFC tweet
Hazard’s responding to Dugarry who said on Canal+ that he’s bets he’s going to CFC buy saying “That’s your opinion lol”
hello guys..
so Hazard is the one we’ll sign this window, is Arshavin leaving then? I havent been following the rumours this windows is there any other credible transfer rumours
Joppa
Henry team talk apparently. Probably said he’d kick the shit out of them if they lost the game
I think it’s bullshit that Hazard only wants to go to us when we get CL. We are still a topclub for many players and when liverpool and ac milan didn’t get CL, no of their best players left. Hazard can still go to us when we do not play CL.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbsuAbTTsV8
Pedro, mate.
I love Arsenal and I never want them to lose, but I just want Wenger to be sacked.
And there is NO CHANCE that Hazard will come to us this summer let alone this january.
He is too good to play for us.
Merson is right-we are a joke at the moment and it is because of Wenger.

Still better than Walcott though.

You would change Walcott 4 Downing? I don’t think Walcott is the shit but i would not change him for Downing thats for sure
Would rather have Walcott as a 2nd choise winger and maybe 3 choise striker then Downing anywhere near our squad
I think Walcott needs a reality check and I have defended him on here plenty. Didn’t like the celebration at all. To me it came across as cocky and out of touch with someone who needs to be knuckling down and proving himself.
I don’t want Wenger signing anyone in this window (not that he will anyhow). We should give him to the end of the season to work with what he has got.
not shore anyone on here leaving a comment knows anything about football. we are a bit short in quality but i do believe the negative support for the club really hinders us. our fans need to up their game. we have no right to win anything just having a fighting chance is what wrenger gives us even though we really should be mid table the amount of money we spend but yet we seem to be fighting maybe not winning but up there every year. he really does over achieve every year. no one realizes it. it is quite scandalous. its not his fault we have rubbish rules in this country that allows mega rich foreign owners to take control of football clubs. we would of won more if it was not for the chelsea and man city revolutions. our squad has always been competitive. be careful what you wish for thats what i say. look at that idiot running liverpool they spent 100m on downing carrol and henderson. where as wrenger has spent nothing and our squad boasts the finest young british talent in wilshire, ramsey, chambling, wallcott, gibbs, and more in which to build on. i remember fegie spending 30m on ferdinand and wrenger brought toure for half a million. i remember us needing a centre back and him going out and buying vermaelen and kolsheinie who are world beaters for less than 20m. the guy keeps us up there and makes money. pound for pound the best manger out there and arsenal fans should pay attention to what they have. we will be in dire trouble if we loose the man. also 5th is not bad considering we lost our three best players in the summer, wilshire, fabregas and naris. we still have a chance to Finnish fourth and win something lets get behind the team.

To sign Hazard we would have to get in the top4 for CL football,

You know it’s funny how Lille are now losing their best players since winning the league last season, they just sold Sow to Fenerbache and they could do with Park more than us!
Montpellier are doing really well in their league so far after selling Spahic.
I saw Ramsey given an 8,and I thought WTF?! Ramsey alongside walcott and flapianski were the worst on our side. Ramsey seems to take a few extra touches on the ball with no end result. He slows our play and recently has been darn poor. Why wenger plays him ahead of benayoun or even Arshavin in that position is beyond me.
Walcott is another dilema. He is stuck and lacks the most basic of football intelligence. Wenger needs to get rid! Seriously get rid,trust Daglish to offer £30mil! I tell you OX is light years,eons ahead of him in development.
If TH12 did the HT team talk, he did good.
What is this Hazard rubbish. Keep dreaming. Instead of looking to the summer we should be look at winning the FA cup and getting 4th.
think you were watching the wrong game
ramsey and walcott both had good games
not getting into tranfer debate the fact we had great second half lots energy and effort and drive risicky looks to be getting better with every game as does camberlain hopefully it will gave team confedence to puch on but need to start better had a very flat first half

Well!!
What a game. Thank fuck we was playing against villa cos against any decent side there would have been no way back from that first half..
Good on the lads for showing some heart anyhow. Something we’re not used to seeing from these lot.
