Yea, well I guess this is what happens after such a long and shite off season of football.

[R3DM@N]

..and Tottenham losing out on CL

[maorifulla]

LOL bro

yeah thats what really sparked it, if modric, van der vaart and Bale dont win anything this year i would seriously see them going to other clubs

on that note

Jose Enrique coommmmmeee onnn dowwwnnnn!!!

i think we are gonna get this guy on the cheap

(probably makes up for the amount that the geordies ripped us of for Carroll)

[Spork]

I hope Spurs don't win anything this season.

I hope City make no further progress this season.

I hope Arsenal finish in the top 4 and win at least the CC.

[LeadCollector]

oooh the excitement is building

[LeadCollector]

I hope Spurs don't win anything this season.

+1

I hope City make no further progress this season.

I hope they win every Derby game against the team from Stretford

I hope Arsenal finish in the top 4 and win at least the CC.

Shouldnt be a problem, 3rd or 4th is all you can usually manage after leading for most of the season before dropping balls when it really counts :p

[henno]

Looking forward to title 20, the fight for second place should be interesting.

[Spork]

Meh, I'm fine with that.

Also, Ciao Cesc, he played well for us, I will always remember that game against Aston Villa and Tottenham in 09/10, Chelsea in 10/11, and countless others, If it wasn't for Cesc we probably wouldn't still be in the CL as he pulled us through so many tough times especially in the last two to three seasons.

I hope Cesc gets lots of game time with Barca and wins trophies. He deserves them an I am only unhappy that he isn't even able to leave the Emirates without a minor trophy.

I must say that is very big of you. When I heard the news today I thought you would be dieing a thousand deaths.Its good to be able to salute a players contribution and not be to bitter when they move on.

[Spork]

He is a great player, and just because he is loved by all the Arsenal fans (or at least was at some point last year ) that shouldn't change whether or not he can go and play for a club which he obviously really wants to play for.

Of course I am disappointed that Arsenal will be without a player who pretty well won games all by himself. If it wasn't for Cesc in 09/10 I feel we would have finished out of the top four. Possibly even in the season just gone.

[Spork]

Much better than the above pile of drivel.

[maorifulla]

Cesc off to Barca

Nasri could possibly going to Citeh in the next few days

cant wait to play arsenal this week

[Spork]

Lol, well our defence is looking alright, or at least they did well against Newcastle.

Will be an interesting game that's for sure.

Also without Gervhino and most likely Song, possibly without Wilshire as well.

[maorifulla]

arsenal are always a chance

with eboue

you are right about defence though

were abit like a cheese grater trying to hold water at the moment

[LeadCollector]

We have been like that for so long now (since Carragher arrived I believe).... that said I think Enrique will go a long way to plugging some of the holes. (just need Carragher to fuck off now and get the new blood through)

Was not too impressed with the result this weekend but fuck me there is some promise there.... once all the noobs click as a team of course

[Spork]

Yea, I was sorely disappointed by the lack of display by Arsenal, but then luckily Liverpoop and Chel$ki drew as well so it's not horribly bad.

[maorifulla]

i know its only rumour but it might make you feel better Spork

Spoiler :

Joe Cole on free transfer from LFC

[maorifulla]

Aguero the man!!

fuck i hate citeh

[maorifulla]

you gotta love the rumour mill at the moment for LFC

ngog + cash for cahill

if the deal for modric falls through for chelsea they will go for merieles which would be cash our way + anelka (who would be awesome as a back up striker)

then theres the who forlan and adam johnson talk going on

fark i cant wait for the window to close so the tabloids cant stop teasing me with their trash

[Spork]

Was a bit crap to think that we no longer have the one player who can pretty well guarantee we do well. Disappointed that he didn't put in one last effort against Newcastle, so that he could give our fans a proper fairwell.

[maorifulla]

gotta feel for arsenal bro

i fuckin hate joey barton and it was him he got song and gervinho put in the stands

plus no wilshere or gibbs. ratsh!t

You can never write the gunners off though

every year people say they wont make the top 4

and they do

[LeadCollector]

They won't make top four! :p

[Spork]

Your face won't make top four!

[maorifulla]

just watching cnn. headline pops up Eboue gone to galatasaray

Arsenal are definitely out of the top 4

bigger loss that cesc to be honest hahaha
