well, the day have to go on as usual.

not often i hear both 1st and 2nd choice goalkeeper gets injured.

Role model doesn't mean you need to have 200 trophies a year. Financial aspect also playing a big role in it. What's the point of winning trophy(s) but club financial going into turmoil? Balance is the key word.

In case you don't know, even Barca also had it's own dark spell of seasons, trophyless. And also if I'm not mistaken, Alex Ferguson had 6/7 years without trophy when taken over the helm at ManU. These facts just to show you, Arsenal is not really as sh|tty as most of the Invincible era fans think.

I would like to take umbrage at all the malevolent, ingrate naysayers criticising our brilliant tactical Oracle, Arsene Wenger.

This is a man who this season, has broken records, and achieved things no other Arsenal manager of the last 25 years has achieved!

Look at these records:
1. Becoming the first manager in Premier League history to toss a 4-0 lead. Which other so-called top manager has achieved such genius?

2. Becoming the first manager in Champions League history to go 90 minutes of a game without a single shot on goal. Some record!

Having been given seven years to build a title-winning side, it's all coming together beautifully now. The Faith has been repaid and Arsene has treated us to unprecedented brilliance this season.

Highlights include:

1. Trailing West Brom 3-0 at home with 20 minutes to go.

2. Becoming the first Arsenal manager in over 20 years to suffer back-to-back league defeats to Spurs!

3. Managing to throw a 2-0 lead at home to Spurs, and lose the game 3-2. Which other manager would you replace him with?

4. Being the only team in the Top Four to lose at home to Newcastle.

5. Failing to win a CL group Arsenal were in total command of after three matches. Do You know of any other manager who could manage this?

6. Contriving to lose a Carling Cup, in which they failed to beat the mighty Birmingham in the final! No other manager could do his job.

7. The nadir of brilliance, managing to lose to a Man United reserve team in which Fergie played with seven defenders and two strikers. The only recognised midfielder they played was the impostor known as Darron Gibson. In Arsene We Trust.

8. Going out of three competitions in 13 days, due in large part to a lack of squad depth and recurring multiple injuries. Groundhog Day is so ingrained at the club now, thanks to Arsene, that he's been renamed Bill Murray.

There's far more evidence of this £6.5 mil a season man's staggering brilliance. Playing Abou Diabolical and Denilson in the same team. Giving Rosicky a new contract. Blaming the ref for losing to Barca. Claiming Arsenal have mental strength, then gloriously claiming they lost to Man U as they lacked confidence....

These are clearly signs of a quite brilliant manager with fantastic tactical acumen, and whose players give 100% for him every game.

Remember, Real Madrid would jump at the chance of hiring Arsene. And they'd definitely let him have seven years to build a side full of Diabys, Denilsons, Almunias, Eboues, Chamakhs, Squillacis, Silvestres, etc whilst winning zero trophies.

Arsene, I salute you. Irreplaceable.

And next August, before the season kicks off, Arsene will once again have proved all the doomers wrong. We will be top of the league by alphabetical order and still in the running for the quadruple!

I'm not a fan of re-signing players as well. But I'm not complaining simply because there is little or no decent GK that is available for loan at the moment and we desperately need some cover.

Isn't Lehmann the proven winner everyone says we should be signing? No reason to pan him then.

In any case, he's not entirely rusty, played until May last year in the top tier and probably won't do too bad.

We'll only have 10 games left all season and either Szczesny or Mannone will return hopefully halfway through these games.

Can't do emergency loans for defenders, would have loved to re-sign Keown.

since we are discussing about Arsenal striker, here's a thought.

should we buy a new top striker to be our main striker ahead of Robin, and base our attacking game around this new top striker?

talking about Chamakh, if Abidal choked the one is Chamark instead of Samir, i guess Abidal aredi sent off  

can i replace Chamakh with Eboue too?
just for lol

i love Robin, he's a proper Gooner and 1 of us. 1 of the best striker in the world when fit and playing. and i do think that after all those saving these past few years we (Arsenal of course) are rich enough to be able to afford having him as luxury players. so i will keep him, proper captain as well

however, looking at the other side of the coin 1 surely able to see that le Boss won't change the way we play. and the way we play best is with Robin as our main striker. attacking-wise we are not even at our 50% level when Robin not available purely because the replacements are not suited to our current style. i do believe Nik and Marouane are better suited to 442 tactic

so all being said, given that Robin at his best can only be counted for half of the season why would we still want to base our attacking play with him as our main striker? after all, le Boss won't change our style of play anytime soon IMO

No offense to the Reds fans, but Liverpool is not yet the Big Four

It's not all doom, yet.... although I must admit that last match performance (I'm not talking about the result) must had given everyone a very big wake up call that something is very wrong with Arsenal.

Defense obviously needs revamp. No excuse. Hectic schedule, unexpected injuries or cards, all these should be NOW considered as a part of AW plan. I'm just stating the general observing. Whether to buy or to sell, to promote the youth or not, it's up to AW to decide.

whoa.good la like that.i dunno bout emirates airline price.

sure need 10k?like that need to save rm1k each month only can go.lol

ps:your sister hot or not?

I thot I read somewhere.. in Air Asia website I think, that Air Asia offers EPL packages for Malaysians to watch their favorite teams in action.. IINM they got packages for Chelsea, Man U, Arsenal & Liverpool... the packages was quite reasonable, around RM5-7K like that, inclusive of everything, including the stadium entrance. Maybe can search for it la..

The reason is Rafa cause he is a free agent now, proven winning CL trophies & can change the teams playing style & mentality.
