-apparently, there r still reasonable pple supporting Arsenal FC judging by d comments above, which can only be good for d club.
-It turns out still that Monsieur Wenger’s belief in that squad is unwavering.
-The squad is BIG considering d nmbr of players we have injured, no doubt.
Watch out!!! The Media will be out with all sorts of blades; swords, knives, staves & whatnot in the form of baseless articles to murder our team’s confidence the nxt time we dnt win a game, but it’s left to us to choose where we will stand when that happens coz I bet u, it will.
Honestly, I read d blog yestrday bt cldnt bring myself to comment coz d remaining bit of dissappntmnt in me hadn’t gone away.
Nice post goonblogger.

@ kc

Your formation will make us too narrow.
I like the idea of Arshavin playing through the middle and I think he’ll get the opportunity in the current set-up as the strikers get more used to interchanging.

I’m happy with the squad we have. I’m just not sure we are lining our current players up in their strongest positions. Namely Arshavin as a left wing, and RvP as our center striker. Andrey’s fitness is what first comes to mind at that spot on the pitch, but more than that he seems to do his best work in a crowd. He’s very quick but not fast meaning he’s not just going to beat a lot of defenders to the long balls by speed alone. I think Arshavin would be a better asset to the team in a more central role. With Van Persie its more of a question of can he be the big man up front. Talent wise its yes hands down, and although he’s had an unlucky start he can be productive in that spot. But I can’t help but wonder how Bendtner would do in that role with his size and ability to head home goals. I would love to see AW try this line-up at least once:
Almunia
Vermealen,Gallas
Sagna Clichy
Song
Denilson Cesc
Arshavin
RVP NB52

Just a thought…

Less than three bans.

My money is on this being the first and the last. The whole thing is an absolute mystery.

I’m quite happy with the arsenal team,especially when we’ve got Nasri,Rosicky,Fabregas and Walcott to come back.
I’m just concerned that with Van-persi leading arsenals attack this team wont win any trophies,he’s not prolific enough. Bentner SHOULD get a longer run in the team!
EVERY team apart frm city is weakened now,chelski will miss ESSIEN,DROGBA,KALOU when ANC comes.
I’ve just heard the SICKENING MANURE chants to wenger,even more shocking is that those asshole fans also had KIDS with them! Wenger and arsenal wont 4get this experience!

I felt the same way about signing one or two players too, but as you rightly pointed out we have to move on. This said, I am begining to see the strength in the squard hat we have. I hope that they respond positively.
