Adebarndoor just wasn't in it today, £100k a week?? surely he could spend a tenner on a book that explain the fucking offside rule :mad: He really thirives off the fans behind him, which he'll struggle to get until he starts knocking the goals in again, and the crowd start to forget the shit he pulled this close season. He got booed towards the end of the game after another miss.

Overall, I was quite happy with the performance today, Nasri :cool: looks very useful, Djourou and Eboue (the lazy cheating fuck) :eek: both had excellent games, though we aren't going to be playing West Brom at home every week. Didn't think Walcott was at the races, and I'm just not convinced. Last season showed the occasional flash of brilliance, but so often runs up a blind alley.

IMHO still need a first choice holding midfielder and a consistent centre half pairing. of which, if we don't get at least one of we'll be struggling with our lack of squad depth at the end of the season, and playing for 3rd /4th spot again. :(
 
Ade's lack of spacial awareness (re the off side trap) is fucking me off. He should have scored a brace against West Brom.

Still on a positive note, Denilson can become that player we thought he was (before the injury), his last two games have been very positive. Nasri just looks like he was made for us...reminds me of Pires....

Not a spectactular start, but signs that there's lots to look forward to this season (I hope)...
 
I never really rated Silvestre when he played for us, always made me slightly nervous but I am still suprised we have sold him to Arsenal - certainly he is better than senderos so I can understand Wenger buying him as a sqaud player.
 
Strange signing.

But he's got EPL experience, a winner and having played 300 games for Manu,he cant be all bad? Time will tell.

I was hoping we'd sign Alonso....
 
About as much cutting edge as a fuckin blunt rusty knife,a good start was always going to be needed,well thats that fucked
 
better last night. walcott was superb. hopefully that will give some confidence.

on another note, wright-phillips has gone back to citeh for a fee disclosed as between 8 and 10 million. now why the fuck would arsenal not be interested in him for that amount? i know we have walcott in his position but ffs that's a reasonable amount for a quality player. pull your finger out wenger we need a squad you ognion
 
yes, walcott was electric last night every time he got the ball, fabregas looked solid enough considering the lay-off, clichy and sagna were reliable and forward thinking and nasir showed promise for the half that he was present (slightly worried that he didn't come out for the 2nd half). not convinced about the centre back pairing nor the front two really tho, despite his contributions to the goals, bendtner still looks clumsy and RVP often flatters to decieve (altho he was getting a few lumps kicked out of him last night to be fair).

SWP? Walcott and Nasir are far superior imo.
 
lol, we're not desperate. don't fancy swp one bit and would prefer to see what the likes of wilshere can do.

i like that wenger is out of step with chelsea, man u et al and won't get THAT involved in transfer market. we're diff, the true academy of football.

granted we won't win much, but...pfft...we're class.
 
not for a winger no. a quality centreback like say and quite possibly another forward to supplement the want-away, the quiff and the second-touch-is-a-tackle i reckon. like you say "he was quality", who knows what he's like now?

eta: isn't aaron ramsay another winger anyway?

i quite fancy a trip away to kiev. bugger it's too soon.

that group could be worse.
 
great day for us yesterday, although it will be only complete if vP's injury is not serious. was at the emirates and i haven't seen such a one-sided game for a long long time. it was like newcastle were VIPs at the arsenal show. we were incredible.

barton's inclusion was a very disappointing decision by newcastle.

tbh, that was such a limp display by a newcastle side so clearly screwed by injuries, that it means nothing.

Yes exactley the (internal) reasons I gave myself for our abysmal "performance" against Fulham...(which I'm still getting over).

However, you can only beat what's infront of you, and we did, comprehensively and with style, it's not our fault they were shite. And on a sour note it should have been 5 or 6 goals...Ho hum (such is life)
 
i'm praying we get stephen appiah. fenerbache screwed something with his contract up like not paying him while he was injured so now he's a free agent which means we can get him while the window is closed. i think.

here he is:


looks solid!
