Taylor can consistently give us 4 or 5 of those a season.

Excellent right foot.

It's all a bit blah today.

Still, gearing up for Wednesday already. A result in Italy won't magically fix things, but it will patch some of the gloom until we likely get throttled at OT. >.<

"It is important that supporters and everyone at the club remembers that the cannon on the chest is more important than anybody."

Man City's strikeforce, sure is something.

Mata to Chelsea


I feel the sudden urge to strangle Arsene.

Who says Arsene ever wanted him?

--
"It is important that supporters and everyone at the club remembers that the cannon on the chest is more important than anybody."

That would be even worse. There were more than enough articles and Mata would have been a great addition to the squad. Add to the fact that Wenger was all like "oh yeah it's difficult to find good players who want to leave their club" while Mata was just all "yeah I don't care where I go"

Valencia fans so mad, they lost Albiol, Silva, Villa and now Mata.

More rageworthy than what Arsenal have lost recently? Tough one, but losing four world cup winners has got to hurt.

Yes, it's much more rageworthy.

Glad to see Heskey on the scoresheet this week, i still vouch for that man as a solid player and striker.

Great result for us, watched it in a PACKED out pub that made me feel like i was back home again, and WHAT A FREE KICK by Ryan Taylor. Pretty much perfect!

Great game too, so much better than the borefest against Arsenal last week.

Also LOL ARSENAL.

AW handed another 2 match ban by UEFA.

Do I need to keep pointing ridiculous things out before people stop laughing off my claims that they hate us?

"It is important that supporters and everyone at the club remembers that the cannon on the chest is more important than anybody."

Also Ayv you better enjoy that Taylor goal as much as you can. The way you've looked so far that might be the only goal you score all year.

I still don't know if we'll score a goal!

Webb has the match at Old Trafford so I'm prepared for at least 2 United penalties.

He deserved this, I don't see how you could argue against that at all.

You're a lot better than most of the fanbase right now who are so angry and filled with vitriol that they're ready to quit being a fan at moment's notice!
I'm a Cubs, Magic, and Broncos fan. I'm used to it by now.

And come on Extha, I'm sure Arsenal can score a goal against Udinese again! Not really looking forward to the Man U game though.

He deserved a two match ban for asking what the rules were, and then following them?

Anyways, he needs to appeal this on Wednesday and get out on the pitch like Fergie would do.

--
"It is important that supporters and everyone at the club remembers that the cannon on the chest is more important than anybody."

Did he get banned because he texted commands to his bench.


Please put a big warning sign before the post if that's the cause because I will puke all over my room in disgust if that's the case.

Aaron Lennon is rubbish hahahah

Frimpong got sent off for the same challenge Welbeck just got away with.

blatant hand ball in front of the ref, no call.

god dammit lennon

he's so f***ing awful

--
"It is important that supporters and everyone at the club remembers that the cannon on the chest is more important than anybody."

normally the issue is that he just can't cross a ball. i was really hoping we'd get beckham last year so that he could teach him something but it seems impossible for him to learn at this point.

missing vdv wide open there was... sad.

ND

dammit.

1-0 c***s. Was coming.

"It is important that supporters and everyone at the club remembers that the cannon on the chest is more important than anybody."

poor defending.

And yeah it's like Lennon just crapped himself with all that time and space to aim at.

--
"It is important that supporters and everyone at the club remembers that the cannon on the chest is more important than anybody."

Like I said, anyone taking the title from United this year is in dream land.

They were the best team by a fair bit last year and they only got better. That, and Ferguson will just s*** on Mancini/AVB.

i didn't even realize that put sp*rs bottom.

Where you at, melikepizza? :)

"It is important that supporters and everyone at the club remembers that the cannon on the chest is more important than anybody."

We need Cahill. And a good leftback. And Fellaini. And a creative midfielder. And maybe a striker.



But we're not getting them so go go Arsenal, do it with what you have. Maybe Man U will be arrogant and we'll get points?

http://www.thefootballnetwork.net/main/s378/st170548.htm?

People slagging off Wenger can f*** off. Saw this yesterday and it's being reported in more or more places.

Fans need to get behind AW and tell the board that we won't deal with their s***. The great club is not there to line their pockets.

--
"It is important that supporters and everyone at the club remembers that the cannon on the chest is more important than anybody."

also melikepizza, where you at? At least XiC had the balls to show himself and was honest about his team. You still think that your LWCs are worth bragging about? Champions League, yer 'avin a laugh.

Think Arsenal should really buy Fellaini tho =(

nanananananana... goodbye nas-eri. =\

"It is important that supporters and everyone at the club remembers that the cannon on the chest is more important than anybody."

On current form you'd expect us to destroy Arsenal so I fully expect them to turn us over next week! >_>

60 million in transfer fees headed to rich guys pockets and not to the Arsenal pitch. In other news, man united are steam rolling the premier. I'm not sure they lose a premier league game until 2012.

Realo won gold at the Sex Olympics with a BROKEN FRIGGIN NECK.-Voltch

And now goal.com is saying Wenger has a 90m pounds transfer funds.


Let's hope it is so!

We play Mikel and Kalou, man what kind of self mutilation is our team into.

Eto'o is going to make more money then Kobe this year:

http://sports.yahoo.com/soccer/blog/dirty-tackle/post/Anzhi-make-Samuel-Eto-8217-o-the-world-8217-s-?urn=sow-wp4299&active_dimension=carousel_coke_today&ysp_frm_woah=1

While financial terms were not disclosed, Eto'o is expected to be paid €20 million ($29 million) net per season, eclipsing the estimated €12 million ($17.4 million) that Cristiano Ronaldo earns at Real Madrid and the €10.5 million ($15.2 million) that Lionel Messi is paid by Barcelona.
After a week of negotiations in Milan, the transfer fee was reportedly set between €25 and €27 million ($36 and $39 million).

Also

Outside of finding a place to keep all that money, Eto'o will have a few more serious concerns. Like the fact that Anzhi players live and train in Moscow for security reasons and must fly 1,250 miles 15 times a season for "home" matches

Woah
