He continues on from the job Pat Rice was doing, the same job in which by all reports Pat Rice had very little to do with the defence. Most people in the know have said that Wenger likes to have almost complete control over the training of the squad, and most have said Steve Bould has had very little to do with the defense. Now I don't know if that is the case, but it wouldn't surprise me at all.

As for no one wanting to talk about Arsene getting it wrong tactically :lol: You're kidding right, that's all anyone ever talks about, how he shouldn't have played this player, or how he shouldn't have made this sub. If anything it's more interesting how no one ever talks about when he gets it right and gives him the credit he deserves.

As for for regarding Stewart Robson as a bitter and twisted cunt. I will continue to do so until he proves he can be anything other than some bitter prick who attacks the club for the most trivial thing at every single opportunity and until it stops seeming painful for him to give the club and Arsene some credit every once in a while. Even as an employee of the club he just couldn't help but putting the boot in whenever he could, so glad the club fucked him off.

Those same people who are quick to critisize are somewhat quiet when things go good . Hello piers Morgan .

Life has been more peaceful since I stopped following Piers, cant believe I ever did. He isnt bright.

Also it's insane the number of Barca players we've been linked to recently :lol:

Its hilarious, one can only assume that Cesc and Song have taken a leaf out of Xavi's book and are spruiking Arsenal from the inside the camp.

Cesc - "Oh yeah, Arsenal? Man, if you want to play in England, you cant go past Arsenal, stable club in london."

Song - "To be honest I wish I never left."

Valdés - "Yeah Thierry and Alex use to say that too."

In the last few weeks we've been linked to David Villa, Victor Valdes, Martin Montoya and Alexis Sanchez. Oh and we've also been linked with an Alex Song return :lol:

In other news it seems Gotze is no chance...

"Sir Alex mentioned that to me when I arrived at United. He felt I was not yet ready for a move to a big English club all those years ago - and he was right. I said to the boss 'you were right then, but I am ready now'," he explained.

Okay, that's where I draw the line. Now the hatred feels real.

Not quite Nasri, Cole or Adebayor level though.

I'm sorry, but in that one sentence he's gone to Cashley level.

Thing is with RvP, he was always a cunt, he was just our cunt :lol:

Can anyone tell me exactly what's wrong with what he said? He says he wasn't ready for a move to a starting role with a big club when he joined Arsenal, and his performances pretty much prove that? Now, at this stage of his career, he is ready to jump straight into a big club role. Also true.

I'd be willing to give up a red card and go down to 10 men just to see someone fucking destroy the cunt.

[size=6]NextGen: Arsenal 1-0 CSKA Moscow[/size]

Serge Gnabry’s well-taken goal was enough to see off the challenge of CSKA Moscow and book Arsenal’s place in the semi-finals of the NextGen Series.

On a freezing cold night in north London, the Club’s rising stars put on an accomplished display in front of more than 6,600 fans at Emirates Stadium.

Gnabry missed a great chance in the fifth minute when his diving header flew straight at CSKA keeper Sergey Revyakin, but he made no mistake in the 56th minute.

The prodigious German forward played a lovely one-two with the lively Hector Bellerin, took a touch past a defender in the area and slotted it into the far corner. It was a strike that spoke volumes about the 17-year-old’s composure and potential.

That proved to be enough for Terry Burton’s men, who will now face London rivals Chelsea in the semi-finals at Lake Como, Italy on Friday afternoon.

Burton made two changes to the side that won 1-0 at Inter Milan in the last 16, with Kyle Ebecilio replacing Elton Monteiro and Thomas Eisfeld coming in for Zak Ansah. Gnabry passed a late fitness test and started in attack alongside Chuba Akpom, who has played every minute of Arsenal’s NextGen Series campaign.

The first half was something of a cat-and-mouse affair, with Arsenal controlling the game but finding it difficult to break through a well-organised Moscow backline. However, it could all have been very different had Gnabry buried the early chance that came his way.

With just five minutes on the clock, a flowing move saw the ball arrive at Bellerin’s feet on the right and he curled an inviting cross into the six-yard box. Gnabry was in the right place at the right time, but his diving header from six yards was straight at the keeper, who held it gratefully. It was a glorious opportunity

CSKA beat the likes of Chelsea, Ajax and PSV en route to the quarter-finals and they showed their own attacking threat moments later when Dmitry Efremov was played through on goal. However, the Moscow forward delayed his shot momentarily and allowed Sead Hajrovic to make a crucial block.

Chances were at a premium for the rest of the opening 45 minutes, although Gnabry and Eisfeld both went close to breaking the deadlock as the Gunners pressed and probe. But Moscow remained a threat on the break, and Anton Polyutkin had a half-chance on the stroke of half time but failed to control a through ball and allowed Bellerin to clear.

Arsenal upped the ante at the start of the second half with Olsson combining well with Eisfeld moments after the restart, but the German midfielder fired just wide from the edge of the area. But the hosts now had the bit between their teeth and eventually found their way through.

Gnabry was at the heart of it as he raced powerfully through the CSKA midfield and found the onrushing Bellerin. The young right back kept his composure to collect the ball and then find the 17-year-old, who had continued his run into the area. Gnabry may have missed the earlier chance that fell his way, but he wasn’t about to make the same mistake here as he took a touch and found the corner with a cool finish.

The hosts remained on the front foot as firstly Akpom and then Eisfeld tested Sergey Revyakin in quick succession. The CSKA keeper then had to be alert to keep out Martin Angha in the 68th minute after the Swiss defender had weaved his way to the edge of the box, played a one-two with Gnabry and then struck a firm shot.

Angha again tested the under-fire Revyakin with a drive from 20 yards as Burton’s side turned the screw but they just could not find the second goal that would kill the tie. Indeed, in injury time Eisfeld stuck a fierce 25-yard free kick that rattled the bar before being cleared, as Moscow rode their luck.

But ultimately it made no difference, as Arsenal booked an all-London semi-final against Chelsea this Friday. It promises to be some contest.
