. . .And so the vicious cycle of disappointment continues. . .Optimism at the beginning, cries of ''What is he doing?'' at the middle, shouts of ''Sack him!'' at the end.

Must suck being a gaynner. Heck, season's barely begun and already the cries of ''What is he doing?'' abound.

vicade:

Must suck for you to always be on the Arsenal Thread. The Thread says:Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only

I dont see any room for haters like you who spend more time rebuffing other clubs than they do supporting their own clubs.

The English National team has not won a Major football trophy in over four decades and did not qualify for the last Euros yet their fans still come out to support them.Things are not great @ Arsenal now with Players leaving for money and Lack of Trophies but it could be much worse if we played boring football and never qualify for the champions League and like wande coal says S'Ope Ti e which means Thank GOD for your own.


And for the record,Life as a Gunner is great and I am a loyal Gunner for life and for the record if Arsenal does not win any trophy at the end of this season, I will double the Arsenal Merchandise i already have and continue even stronger to support the club i adore and love.
In Arsene I Trust and that can only mean one thing Gunner for Life Baby

GBAM!!!!!

@proudly9ja,
All I am saying is that it's the 29th of July.
Window closes on 31st August.
A flurry of activities in the market will take place before then.
Your analysis of doom and gloom will look premature if AW adds 2/3 players that he has probably identified.
Let's wait till then.

debosky:

Kolo is gone. . . adieu great warrior. We will miss you without a doubt.  

Now he's gone, the focus returns to Arsenal Football Club. I await Wenger's next comments, or more aptly what he doesn't say to see whether he actually intends to buy or not.

This will be a defining season for Wenger's policies and his attitude towards purchases/sales. Either he comes clean with fans and tells us how much is a constraint and how much is his own decision to sell/buy or he will get it in the neck if we fail this coming season.

It's going to be an epic season either way and I can't wait!  

Regardless of what happens, I remain and will always be. . . .

Gunner 1965  

rasputinn:

Is it true that Arsene claimed that he had "too many" defenders?,who and where are they?As I recall,the minute Clichy was injured we had to cope with the costly inexperience of Gibbs,was Wenger referring to Gibbs and his likes

eldee:

Of course everyone knows you'll always be Gunner 1914, but the question is, will you still be Arsene 09??
AW's taking some risky steps here . . . let's just hope they work, he should remember that football fans forget quickly.

In Arsenal I Trust

Cristalz:

@Brash
Be ''gbam-ing'' there.  .  .you practically live and die on the Manc thread. Y'all vermins come to vomit on our thread all the time, so you shouldn't mind if we come to pee on your thread regularly too.
Wait till the season starts.  .  .my frequency here will increase, as usual.

Pee but be careful the way you pee up here. . . . .or else you wont be opportuned to pee again!

debosky:

My loyalty is first of all to Arsenal FC before to any individual. These sales could be the best move for the club, as long as the funds are used to strengthen the team appropriately. That is the crucial bit. If Arsenal fail this season and it's down to poor players/small squad, obviously Wenger will be first on the firing line and I will not hesitate to shoot too if he doesn't own up as to where the error is from - him or financial troubles.

That said, there's a month at least left in the window. . . .I remember Eduardo popping up a few weeks after Henry's sale in 2008 so hopefully Wenger is unearthing someone somewhere as we speak, or is planning for a late raid on the transfer market.

debosky:

You and me both mate.  

eldee:

It depends on what you define as failure . . . I define failure as losing out on either the tile challenge or going trophyless . . . or both.
To you, ending up as runners-up is an improvement. To me anything less than a trophy is failure.

If selling the whole team will give us the EPL, so be it . . . all I know is that he should offer his resignation letter if he fails.
I've given up on trying to follow AW's transfers, I've spent too many years working as Wenger's talent scout.
I swear you used to be an 'Arsene Knows' fan

ARSENE WENGER wants Patrick Vieira to make a shock return to Arsenal.
Vieira, 33, who spent nine years at the club before being sold to Juventus for Ј13.7million in 2005, is considering an identical offer from Gunners boss Wenger to the one made by bitter North London rivals Spurs.
Both clubs are ready to give the Inter Milan midfielder a one-year contract with big bonuses.

Vieira coming back is a big joke. Don't get me wrong, I love Paddy V, but he is way off his best and has been fighting injury for 2 years now - if this is someone's idea of a practical joke then it better be stopped.
Vieira is well past it - I don't think we should be a rehabilitation ground for players, especially if that serves as a smokescreen to cover the fact that we have not made the needed signings. This would be more outrageous given the fact that we've earned ~£40m from selling Kolo and Ade.
Younger players can learn from him, but if that's what we need, let him become a part-time coach.
In other news, I heard Eboue threw his shirt and boots to the fans after the Hannover games and 'said goodbye'.
I don't want Eboue to leave either. . . .Wenger is making some BIG gambles this season, he better have something under his sleeves or he will get brutally savaged if we fall short again. The booing of the previous season will be child's play if things go on like this.

FBS:

AW must have or know something most of the fans don't.

presido1:

Next will be Ray Parlour or Ian Wright. M Schumacher just came out from retirement to help his F1 team, why can Ian and Ray do the same for arsenal.
