Arsenal Thread

^^^Thats a great article ^^^

3 months ago many Arsenal fans were concerned about the future so hows this for a progress report?:

Well financed club - check
Money for transfers - check
New Wenger contract - check
Managing without Henry - check
Filling the stadium - check
Playing beautiful football - check
Top of the PL - check
 
Cant wait to see our second string playing tonight. Just looked through it and it should still be quite a strong team.

I really want to see how bendtner does and the bloke we signed from chelsea.

And I really want to beat Allardyce!!

Great goal by Denilson, and Senderos had a blinder! :applause:

Well, one blinding moment. The rest of the game it has to be said was decidedly shaky for Big Phil. I feel for him at the moment, the knives are out a bit. At one stage he slipped onto his arse and the gasps and comments from the fans were shall we say, unprintable. He got his reward with the Martins block, although if I'm being picky, the 'young' Nigerian really should have finished better.

Yesterday I was a bit derisory about Song, and today I'm not so much eating humble pie, but at least nibbling on the crust. He genuinely looked very good. He read the game well all night and to me looks much more a centre half than a centre mid, eclipsing Senderos all night . Maybe, just maybe he's got a future with us after all.

Diarra was the bizniz, 1st team material for me! He turned our hairy moments into comfortable possession. Invaluable, especially at just £2m!

Quick props to Fabianski, who although he didn't have much to do, did everything asked of him with aplomb, including a decent, parrying save from Martins early on.

Haven't even mentioned Denilson, aka Fab mk 2, or the incisive, tricky Traore. Overall a great morale boost.
 
I say Arsenal should get robhino and podolski in the winter transfer both unhappy at their current club!
would be great addition for us up front and on the wing since rosicky is soso and helb is kind of old.

Mind you, at Arsenal that is getting on a bit so fair point...

jokes aside:D... Hleb is fine... and just when Rosicky was pretty much on fire with us he gets injured agian :(... its not a disaster i mean we can play Diaby out there for the time being and we still have 30million different midfield options... so Robinho isn't necessary, it would be nice, but isn't a need atm...

Podolski, maybe during the African nations... if Togo qualify... then we'd pick him up to cover Adebayor...
 
during ACN we face WHU , Birham ,Newc ,Rover(at home )and (away)Fulham , MCity , Birham not bad for Jan-Feb really I say buy CB only just pray they come back injured free
 
is it true it wasn`t Coventry`s 1st team either?...ouch at least our youngins have a chance to play football it keeps the camp happy

:lmao: @ Man Utd. I guess this proves we have the best young players in the country.

One match on a freezing Wednesday night doesn't prove anything mate. I personally prefer the current bunch of Arsenal's youngsters to United's but don't ever write off Fergie's fledglings. He hasn't conistently won the Premiership over the last 10-15 years with old men, has he?
 
Poor Hleb.

The referee is a joke. It happened twice and he gave 2 yellow cards. In Ligue 1, both players would have been sent off.

How can you play football against butchers ?
 
At least we got the win. We have been having a lot more home games that away though, which has been good for morale and hopefully will get us through the away games.

Oh, and Drogba's big comeback was today :lmao:

That should've been a red and a ban. Sometimes watching EPL highlights I can't believe the number of murderous tackles that get away with yellow cards...

then you`ll see a undeserved red card for mikel against ManUtd, it`s all depends on the day.... officials need to get things right it`s too obvious and sadly even pes2008 has dive features
 
Arsenal are just winning all over the place at the moment! I LOVE watching them when they are in this mood, it really is a pleasure. You couldn't win at home convincingly last season let alone pick up three points away! The Gooners are making the Premiership very interesting this season and deserve to be in top spot. It certainly beats watching Chelsea win every game 1-0 with long-balls to Drogba. :)
 
WHOA! 'Iron Leg' Hleb travels!

Hleb travels but four face fitness tests in Bucharest

Steaua Bucharest v Arsenal
Champions League Group Stage
Stadionul Ghencea
Tue, Oct 2, 2007, 7.45pm



By Chris Harris

Arsène Wenger will wait for news on a quartet of players before naming his team to face Steaua Bucharest on Tuesday night.

Alex Hleb has travelled to Romania despite being stretchered off at West Ham on Saturday and the Belarussian is not the only one nursing an injury after the hard-fought victory at Upton Park.

Emmanuel Adebayor (thigh), Mathieu Flamini (groin) and Abou Diaby (ankle) also face fitness tests before Arsenal resume their Champions League campaign.

"Alex Hleb will travel," confirmed Wenger before flying out to Romania. "We tested him for a check on his bone and a decision will be made tomorrow over whether he will play or not.

"Emmanuel Adebayor will travel but we will make a decision on him as well. It looks a little less good than it did. Mathieu Flamini has a knock on his groin. Abou Diaby has a knock on his ankle so we need to check on them.

"William Gallas, Eduardo, Alex Song, Jens Lehmann and Tomas Rosicky are all still out."

Arsenal squad to face Steaua Bucharest:

24 Manuel ALMUNIA
21 Lukasz FABIANSKI
25 Emmanuel ADEBAYOR
11 Robin VAN PERSIE
26 Nicklas BENDTNER
13 Alexander HLEB
32 Theo WALCOTT
2 Abou DIABY
15 DENILSON
8 Lassana DIARRA
27 Emmanuel EBOUE
4 Cesc FABREGAS
16 Mathieu FLAMINI
19 GILBERTO
6 Philippe SENDEROS
31 Justin HOYTE
3 Bacary SAGNA
5 Kolo TOURE
22 Gael CLICHY
 
Very well said mate, the spirit is sky high at the mo, and the defence looks really assured with Alumnia between the sticks.

Next up Slavia home and away, though they look like the tricky ones in the bunch, plus Sevilla away will be tough. Hopefully, we'll have sewn up the progression to the next round after these Slavia games.

Lucky we didn't have their keeper, he was doing his Nacho Libre Eagle impression all night :lmao:
