Now wait for Wengers interview, key words being resilience and spirit, if he does i will be lobbing something heavy at the tv

You know it. He's a fking joke of a manager and so predictable.

Yep the cringeworthy spiel. I personally just don't care any more. I think that's the saddest indictment of Wenger's latter years,when the fans stop giving a t*ss surely your time is up.
I would happily trade a relegation battle just to see something different.

I try to ignore Arsenal most of the time I'm so disillusioned.

I spend my leisure time watching non-league football between steps 1-6 and I absolutely love it, my passion for watching football has found a new lease of life.

I managed to attend 7 games in 12 days over the Christmas break.

It was but Xhaka, Mustafi and (unusually) Bellerin all excelled themselves with the levels of stness. Even Cech seemed clueless with all 3 goals, the penalty was very poor but still, he dived out of the way.

I read somewhere that Cech has not only failed to save a penalty for Arsenal but has also gone the wrong way every time..,.

With the return to fitness of Wheelchair and the continued absense of Cazorla (and others) surely there needs to be a serious look at what goes on with the Fitness/Physio team at Arsenal?!

Has been for a while, has there not?


IIRC there was an issue with the firmness of the training pitch which has been sorted.

Has Wilshere been injured since he's been at Bournemouth?

[NordicCrankShaft]

Sometimes (and when I say sometimes, I mean every season) I wonder what the point of Arsenal is. We just merely exist. We might aswell be playing for mid table finishes every year.

I think he was out for a week or so early on in the season, but, otherwise, I think he's been injury free.

Doesn't seem to spend as much time flat on his face while wearing a Bournemouth shirt either.....?


What's this I'm reading about Alexis throwing a massive tantrum during or after the Bournemouth game?

I do think the Sanchez issue will be the make or break of Arsenal's ambitions for the next 3 years, we lose him and we will be 5th forever more.

[Cupramax]

Wengers obviously been working hard on the team since the B'mth game. Infact i could still be watching the B'mth game, we're st, 1-0 down already and could have been 2 or 3 down already in 20 mins.

Total fking shambles. Preston are outplaying us.

[hornetrider]

You're making Preston look like Barcelona.

PNE have had so many good chances, the goons will still win i reckon.


Decent game though.

[anonymous-user]

There was one point where one of our players had a perfect chance on the right to stick the ball in the box but oh no he passed it back and before you knew it the ball was back in our own half.

[GLENNRED]

Hell of a bid if true.

Interesting.

Mesut Özil has said he would like to sign a new contract with Arsenal but that he wants to know if Arsène Wenger is staying at the Emirates Stadium beyond this season before committing to the club.

Ozil said:

The club knows that I am here most of all because of Arsène Wenger. He is the one who signed me and he is theone whose trust I have. The club also knows that I want to be clear what the manager is going to in the future.”

If there's any truth in that, it seems fair enough. If the club were thinking about putting an Allardyce, or Moyes in charge, I'd want to have the opportunity to do the offski too, TBF.

[jammy-git]

Seems to fly in the face of what a lot of fans think/want though?

[mylesmcd]

The french 3 have signed their deals. Now only to get that pesky Griezman to sign the pre contract.


What does anyone make of the young Italian lad - 56m quid seems a lot for a unheard of whipper snapper - not like Arsene at all!

[Glassman]

Apparently Roman Abramovich is adamant Diego Costa won't leave Chelsea, and wants to make a stand against the riches of the Far East. He feels that if Chelsea give in it will make every other Premier League club vulnerable to a Chinese approach.

Got an Arsenal ticket related question which someone can hopefully help with.

I need 4 x tickets for this season for a PL home game- not a member anymore and as they are for friends coming from oversees need guaranteed tickets, and am not so price sensitive so am more interested in being able to buy right away and know I have tickets rather than waiting a bit and getting them for 40 quid less. Always had issues buying from the club in the past- unless it was just 1-2 bought at short notice.

Can anyone recommend me a reliable site they have used for Arsenal tickets?

I have done a good search and it comes up with various options, but I don't know any of them, have never used any of them so not sure really..what are the trustworthy sites that people have/do use?

Thanks in advance.
