this is like the comedy channel!! thanks guys :)

There's rumours around that Villa could be interested in Bendtner in January.

I don't know why but I'm thinking some kind of trade and cash between us with Bendtner and Young involved.

Also an interesting question. Just forget about all the results this season so far, if someone had said to me that we'd be 2 points off the top at the end of November i'd have bitten their hand off. So as bad as this weekend has been there is still hope. This time last season we had just lost away to Sunderland and then at home to Chelsea the next week and were like 11 points behind iirc. We had 25 points at this stage last season. This season we have 26. It's not all doom and gloom.

Yeah I'll get over it if we go top and stay there for a while. If it's just for like one week then who cares.

I won't get over it until we got top of the league, that was a chance we should have taken.

Just like to say a big congratulations to Arsenal's USA affiliate the Colorado Rapids who clinched their first ever MLS Cup title with a 2-1 ET win over FC Dallas.

Exactly Fabregas should have buried that chance in the first half to make it 3-0 and it would have been game over. It hurts but it's all to familiar for us. There needs to be some fucking major changes in this team.

The worst of it for you guys is that you should've buried the game in the first half. We were lucky not to be 3 or 4 down at half time.

Honestly I won't be over it until either we beat them or beat one of Chelsea and Man Utd, then I think I'll start to forget about it.

still heartbroken

Did you seriously just mention Gallas and Tony Adams in the same sentence. :lol:

i must admit I have never really watched arsenal play much recently... its hard to watch a team you want to lose alot, so this is the first time i have really seen nasri do anything and yeah he is a classy act... but i was shocked at the lack of guts and mongrel that the great arsenal teams had (merson, winterburn, adams, bould, gallas, viera, petit etc...) jsut a lack of hard nose winning determination if you get what i mean...

i looked at ya centre backs and thought... i could take them in an alley fight easy!

but really its SEP :)

My sense of optimism about this Arsenal team is officially destroyed until Vermaelen returns. Without him at the back we have no mongrel, and no fighting spirit. The sooner we have a pairing of Djourou/Squillaci and Vermaelen the better, Koscielny has failed to fill me with optimism that he's good enough at the moment, he has potential to be excellent though.

And Denilson ](*,) Rambo cannot get back soon enough

Maybe the absense of Gallas this season is a contributing factor to Nasri's recent form...?

Yeah something like that, Gallas cracked the shits for Nasri not respecting senior players.

From what I read, Nasri sat in the seat that used to be/was Thierry Henry's and when Gallas asked him to move, Nasri wouldn't and Gallas had a go at him. Never talked since apparently.

Apparently had a massive fallout at Euro 2008 and didn't talk at all while Gallas was at Arsenal and yeah they really don't like eachother :lol:

i agree

what happened between gallas and nasri?

i agree

what happened between gallas and nasri?

possibly the best post ever in this forum:) love ya work Doctor

I would also like a public apology to every Arsenal fan in the world for calling this the best Arsenal squad he's ever had. The only player in this squad who would get close to the Invincibles or the double winning teams of 02 and 1998 is Fabregas and he would only get on the bench.

excuse me, while I have a button mashing rage...

FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRKKKK!

...ah, much better

Henry is at the ground, red&white scarff and all. Greeted the players as they got off the bus. Legend.

i know but still love it !

Cant forget this kid.

:? but he just says 'Abou' the crowd say, DIABY!

abou Diaby !!! love the way our annoucer says his name

Inside the last 3 hours now. Haven't been this pumped for a derby in ages. We win we go top and 10 points ahead of Sp*rs. Big chance for someone to become a hero ala Bendtner a few years ago.

Some videos to get you in the mood.

1987 Littlewoods Cup Semi Final Replay. Easily on of the greatest nights in Arsenal's history. Lost the first leg at Highbury 2-1. Down 1-0 at HT at WHL when ove the PA system Sp*rs announced that they could start buying their tickets to Wembley. We then go on to score 2 goals in the last 10 minutes. The replay we are down 1-0 again at HT and come back to score 2 goals in the last 8 mins to go to Wembley where we beat Liverpool. This competition is what many of the 89 and 91 team say spurred them on and what really started that period of success from 87-94.

it's great to be able to pick from a basically fully fit squad. With only Diaby, Vermaelen and Rambo the ones out injured.
