Actually a mixture of booers from both sections(I really need to know the meaning of the dream as I neither thought of AW nor read about him before going to bed)
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by dayokanu(m): 9:17am On Aug 15, 2010
The dream means wenGAY is mad, for running alone on the field. The laughing part were just having fun at a mad mans expense

while the booing part were ashamed at what an icon of the EPL has turned into

In both cases it means wenGAY remain trophyless once again

The dream means Arsenal were disgraced at Anfield. While Arsenal's booed Wenger the Liverpudians laugh at him

Any dream interpreters in the house
Tow nights ago I had a dream about AW and Liverpool,I've spent the past 24 hrs trying to figure out the meaning but could not,hence I'm throwing the dream on this thread for Dayo and any other dream interpreters to tell me the meaning.

I was in a dream(seriously) and we were at Anfield,with the stands occupied by fans of The Arsenal and Liverpoool,however there was no single footballer on the pitch,[b]only AW was on the pitch and he wore the scousers shorts and jersey and was running from one half of the pitch to the other.[/b]Some section of the stand would applaud him every now and then,while some othersection would boo him loudly to which he would respond by facing the booing section and rub his palm from his chest down his stomach,as if to tell them to relax.

What does this all mean

grin grin grin grin That's madness in its purest, unadulterated form. you don't have to be Joseph to figure out the meaning of that dream.

One can only cope with trophylessness for so long.

IF WE DO NOT WIN THE LEAGUE, ITS ABSOLUTE DISGRACE - Wenger.

By Nick Teale

Arsène Wenger has revealed that the keeper who starts against Liverpool on Sunday will be Arsenal's No 1.

At the start of pre-season the manager laid down the gauntlet to his four stoppers, stating that the place was up for grabs.

Manuel Almunia, Lukasz Fabianski, Vito Mannone and Wojciech Szczesny have all featured in friendlies this summer and Arsenal fans are close to finding out who will be the Gunners' No 1.

"The goalkeepers are great, all ready to play," said Wenger ahead of the trip to Liverpool. "I just wait for my decision and you will get it soon.

"The guy who plays on Sunday will be No 1. It is never for definite but it will be a consequence of what I have seen in pre-season."

However, the manager has admitted that handing the gloves to Szczesny would be a 'great gamble'.

"He has not played one game in the Premier League," he said. "I believe he has huge quality but I believe it would be a great gamble to play him.

"Man United play with a goalkeeper who is 40 years old and Chelsea with a keeper with seven years in the Premier League. You need experience at the back."


That means Almunia would be number one. Can you start preparing for another trophyless season?

Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by debosky(m): 6:14pm On Aug 15, 2010
To supporters of the 'lean squad' policy, now we have only ONE fit CB in the side. . . .so much for the sense in letting loose 4 CBs at once.  undecided

With more men we still couldn't create any meaningful chances and Wilshere's error for the goal (as well as Almunia's failure to stop the shot) shows we are still in need of reinforcements.

In the cold light of day, a point from Anfield is not a bad result, but given the circumstances it is an abysmal result.

The old evils are still here. . . lack of concentration (Wilshere) poor goalkeeping (Almunia) and a new one, lack of creativity. I can't remember a game where we've created so few chances.

Coolu temper, the transfer window aint closed yet. Kos looks a good buy though and so does Chamakh, it is funny that Arsene is the only manager being judged on the basis of players he hasn't signed, other managers get judged on the basis of the players they buy.
I was blaming Arshavin initially for the pass it caught Wilshere wrong footed, hard to say whose fault it is but Wilshere will learn from it thank god it wasn't cataclysmic.

Interesting ability he is adding to his locker, quite an impressive attempt I must say. Theo works hard, I can't fault him for his hard work, its only his ability I question but if he develops other aspects of his game it can only benefit him.

thats the only area i see that Walcott really improved in. incase u have forgotten Theo is also an arsenal player therefore any of the players on the field who takes freekick well is allowed to take.
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by slimshay(m): 6:34pm On Aug 15, 2010
Imagine if you can, if that had been almunia who gifted liverpool a goal, selah.
Debosky, shey u r seeing my point now. It is not the personal. We kept our line well and looked good at the back until arshavin spoke russian that wilshere didn't undrrstand.
Afta that one we were gettin 'nanied'.
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by proudly9ja(m): 6:38pm On Aug 15, 2010
We need a CB and a GK, full stop!

As for lack of chances, I can only attribute that to Chamakh not yet well blended with the team. RVP and Cesc starting would have created more chances IMO. As the season progresses we'l solve that problem upfront.

Also, what's the use of buying a striker who can properly head the ball when we don't have people who can cross the ball? The only proper cross we had today resulted in the goal.

If you have clear flaws and refuse to fix them, why won't you be blamed? Arsene is being judged because he's SOLD 4 players without replacing them. That is a joke of a situation to be in.

Chamakh struggled, but Koscielny was ok. . . . .it's still to early to judge the signings. It is, however, disappointing to fail to create significantly despite facing 10 men for a long stretch. What happens next week? We might end up playing Song at CB, possibly leaving us exposed again.

The fault was Wilshere's, but more importantly it was Wenger's for starting him in a game of this caliber. It was a completely unnecessary risk.

A point in the end is not a bad result, but we cannot afford many performances like this.

Sort it out - get the CB and a GK, and possibly a DM too.
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by Ibime(m): 6:44pm On Aug 15, 2010
A draw at Anfield is a great result. . .

I think its time to call time on Arshavin's Arsenal career. . . . that boy is just lazy, lackadaisical and careless in possession. . . . he doesnt respect his teammates on the pitch by giving away possession cheaply, with not even a nominal attempt to win it back. . . . nor does he respect his club in the media either.

Ibime:

Granted, but not when you play a team for 45+ minutes with 9 or 10 men. For a club like Arsenal, to create so few chances is a big cause for concern.

That's a tad hasty - he didn't have a good game, but a number of others didn't either. AA23 admitted that he's struggling for form, so he will get better. I can imagine some paranoid Gooners would be up in arms against Wenger if we lost/drew with AA23 off the field, especially at Anfield.

He's being doing that for the last 12 months now, plus he's not producing in the final third. . . . better sell him back to the Russians while you can still get £20m for him. . . .

I disagree - he still holds significant goal threat and scored 12 goals last season. He ended the season injured, so he'll be getting back up to speed as the games continue.

Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by DrKitaun(m): 9:53pm On Aug 15, 2010
AW has done it again.
Wilshere wasnt due to have been thrown in d fray. . .
Chamakh is not looking any sharp nor is his game direct. . .
Koscielny looks like there are many reds he will see. . .
Almunia cant ever win anything for Arsenal, neither can Flappianski. . .
Clichy should be benched, and
Arshavin doesnt deserve to be a constant figure in our team
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by debosky(m): 10:01pm On Aug 15, 2010
Cut AA23 some slack - he travelled to Russia and back to play a useless midweek international.

Almunia did ok apart from the goal and even that could be argued to be a very hard shot.

Koscielny was decent - the first yellow he got wasn't anything worse than what Gerrard got away with in the first half, and the sending off was laughable. . . .that handball was innocuous, compared to one by Ngog that didn't get any response from the ref.

As for Wilshere, putting him in a game of this magnitude was a wrong idea, he needs to be broken in gently and not thrown in the deep end.

Now with LK out of the next game, we'll be scrambling to get JD fit or end up playing Song there. undecided

Debo, AA needs strangling more than been cut some slacks. . .he is so lazy and his approach to game has been pathetic since last season.

Almunia did ok apart from the goal and even that could be argued to be a very hard shot.

Almunia did Ok?What with his indecisiveness when it comes to dealing with crosses?Yeah he is a good shot stopper but Almunia is at best a 2nd choice keeper.Believe me,he can do better than "slouch" at that shot that resulted in a goal.

Dr Kitaun:

Chamakh is not looking any sharp nor is his game direct. . .
How can he look sharp playing ahead of conservative midfielders?I dare say there was no single through pass from any of Wilshere,Diaby and Nasri.Neither was there a decent cross into the eighteen by any of our player.

Koscielny looks like there are many reds he will see. . .
He did OK having in mind it was his first game.I was impressed particularly by his marking of Torres when he was charged at twice by the latter.And isn't it high time we get rid of this "softie" attitude amongst our lads.The red was ludicrous too.

Almunia cant ever win anything for Arsenal, neither can Flappianski. . .
Thing is,i do not expect Wenger to come out and admit we are dire in the area of GK.For him to have bidded for Schwarzer as early as May is an indication he is looking to rectify it.Almunia and Fabianski should be cremated and their remains shot into space. grin

Clichy should be benched, and

I said on the match thread,Clichy's game seem to be on a consistent decline.

Arshavin doesnt deserve to be a constant figure in our team
I wish he's traded for Hleb really.
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by HNIC(m): 10:30pm On Aug 15, 2010
I am not pressing any alarm buttons yet.
Except Arshavin who had an off day,
everyone did well.
If you blame Almunia for the goal, how about his super saves earlier.
Playing 10 vs 11 can be very difficult at times, moreso if you go down 0-1 to a team down to 10  men
'Pool parked the bus!
and players like Agger,Skrtel,Masch and carra played like it was the world cup final. shocked shocked
If they played like that last season,'Pool would have been in the CL this term
We play another pool next.Blackpool
We can only improve.
Hopefully, the CB and the Goalie should arrive before the next game.
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by proudly9ja(m): 10:34pm On Aug 15, 2010
Almunia had 'super saves'?
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by debosky(m): 10:42pm On Aug 15, 2010
Well said HNIC, now the game is over and done with, we'll see if Wenger moves this week. One point from Anfield is an ok return.

As for Almunia, I still feel he did ok - he flapped at a cross yes, but overall it was a decent performance. Even the goal was a fierce shot. . .we know Manuel usually slouches so nothing new there. Make him a 2nd choice GK and we'll be fine.

The prime reason for this result was that the team lacked fluency in attack - we barely created chances. That will improve, but we need to also fix the aspects that are unlikely to improve, GK and CB. With Koscielny suspended for the next game, I don't know if JD or Song would be fit, so we might be pushing Nordveit into his own EPL debut.   undecided

And if you call what Almunia did "super saves",Hart must be a celestial being then.
