Relax B, United won't trip up again. They were always going to lose against Wigan who only seem to start win games at this time of the year.

Van Persie equals Premier League record

Robin van Persie's 27 league goals so far this season have come against 17 different sides - equalling the Premier League record.

The only two teams to prevent Robin from scoring this season have been Manchester City and Fulham. He did, however, net against Fulham on the final day of last season, so has scored against 18 different teams in the past 12 months.

Scoring against 17 teams in a 38-game season though has equalled the Premier League record set by former Gunner Ian Wright, who registered against everyone bar Manchester United and Sunderland during the 1996/97 campaign.

The only team Robin has scored home and away against this season is Manchester United, though he has a chance to add to that list in each of Arsenal's last five games.

Currently on 27 Premier League goals for 2011/12, the Dutchman leads the race for the Golden Boot by five from Wayne Rooney.

Overall he has 34 goals in all competitions, and is eighth in the Club's all-time leading scorer charts with 129.



Woodwork :vagi:.

Ok guys here is the thing

We have a thread called Arsenal video lounge which rarely gets used

Then we have Arsenal on youtube which has 11 pages and is kinda active

what should we do ?

Just merge em bud, I'm sure Sina won't mind

The less clutter in here, the better.

I asked if you could sticky the YouTube one instead, months ago :vagi:.

But merging works (:

lol must have missed that post

While you're at it, could you correct the typo in 'requirements'?

Mikel Arteta feels Arsenal can be title challengers next season.

Arteta is confident that next year has the potential to be even better for Arsenal.

"We need to finish the season really strong,” the Spaniard told arsenal.com. “We’ve shown we have a lot of fighters here. We have missed big players this season; Abou Diaby, Jack Wilshere, and they haven't played at all and are massive players.

"We know we have really good players and maybe, just maybe, we can do even better than what we have done this year.”

Arsenal winger Theo Walcott retains an ambition to play as a striker.

Walcott is now declaring himself a natural striker.

"People forget I am a striker and I’m learning the right-wing trade more and more," he told the London Evening Standard.

"I want to play up front but I am not the sort of player to play up there on my own. I need a big man with me. That’s not the way we play at Arsenal so we’ll see.

"I am not the sort of player who likes to tell the manager I want to play up front and argue why it isn’t happening. You can’t change the system now but hopefully it’ll happen next year.

"I love scoring goals - that’s what I want to do. To play with Robin up front would be a dream. We link well together and I think we could form a great partnership."

Walcott also believes critics forget how young he is when it comes to his form.

“I have broken 200 appearances now and a lot of people don’t break into the team until they are 24,” Walcott told Standard Sport.

“So people forget that and they expect a lot from me. I got into the World Cup squad immediately and there was always going to be pressure on me straight away. But I think I have dealt with it well. Class is always permanent and form dips during the season — that’s always the case.

“You can’t play well all season and I was struggling. I don’t know why. Maybe I took my eye off the game. I am always going to be judged on stats and it has definitely picked up since Spurs. When you are playing in a team that’s winning, it makes your job so much easier. That game was massive for me but also for the team.”

Arsenal winger Theo Walcott admits he needs to be more aggressive in games.

Walcott feels he has the ability to take games by the scruff of the neck.

“I would like to be more aggressive in matches and the manager has said that to me. Not by kicking people but by running at players. That’s the main improvement I need to make. When I play my best football, I am aggressive and not afraid of getting hurt. I am not afraid to put a foot in and that’s what he wants," he told Standard Sport.

Arsene Wenger confessed he had no idea where Robin van Persie found the bottle to chip in a penalty as Arsenal stole a march in the race for third.

Gunners boss Wenger said: “It was a surprise to me, I’ve never seen him do that before. Robin wasn’t used to not scoring this season. He has now equalled Ian Wright’s record because he has scored against 17 teams in the Premier League.

“In a league with 20 teams that’s absolutely remarkable in the modern game and I’d like to congratulate him. When you only have 19 competitors and you score against 17 of them, it’s absolutely incredible.”

Wright set his record in 1996-97 but Wenger reckons Van Persie came agonisingly close to proving he was in a league of his own against Manchester City on Sunday.

The Dutchman has failed to score only against Fulham and City in a season which has also seen him break Wright’s record by scoring 35 goals in one calendar year.

Wenger added: “He could have beaten the record. But he hit the post twice against Manchester City and Thomas Vermaelen saved one off their line!”

Ramsey also should learn to be fearless and aggressive.. Needs to make things happen rather than waiting and hoping some1 would pass to him.. He must learn from Benayoun and Rosicky who put in a lot of effort every match..

Thats right, he needs to learn from Rosicky and Arteta. I am pretty confident that he'll be a new player next season.

Talksport pisses me of so much

They're a wind-up station. They're deliberately controversial so as to attract hits and callers and whatnot.

They latest trolling attempt is pretty crap, though.

what did they say?

RVP was being disrespectful when he chipped the penalty against wolves

Lmao. What. A. JOKE.

Why doesn't anyone here report about Samuel Galindo?

I believe many posters here hardly know about him Its all too sad as I guess posters here consider he has no future at Arsenal.

Anyways,shall I post loan updates about our players loaned outside UK?Even I am tired of posting reports about non-existent rumours

Since the players plying their trade in England,Carlos Vela and Wellington{Wellington esp. by DAM} are being covered by other posters,I shall TRY to post about Botelho,Bartley{since there are no updates about him as well},Galindo,Campbell and probably Denilson.

Any problems...?

P.S.:Posted this in the lobby so as to get instant replies.

Facts about Sam Galindo:

Fact #1:He has been the captain for both Bolivia U-17 and U-20 teams.He captained the U-20 team despite being only 17!

Fact #2:He led underdogs Bolivia to the quarter-finals of the Under-17 South American Championship in Chile in May this year. His team beat the likes of Paraguay and Ecuador en route to the last eight, and he was named in the Team of the Tournament for his starring performances.

Fact #3:His 6ft 3in frame makes him an imposing figure on the pitch. So much so that rumours claim that at the Under-17 South American Championship opposing managers were determined to see his birth certificate as they didn't believe he was 17.

Fact #4:Has been capped twice for the Senior Bolivian team

Videos of Sam Galindo:

Video #1



Video #2





Arsenal can probably get him a WP since he has already played for the senior team and also has been the captain for the junior teams.He can then be loaned to some struggling EPL team/lower league team to gain experience of playing English football.

Spoiler:

Petite Pute=Little Whore

(Ernie, I think that'd be better in the loan thread )

There's no problem with this mate, just continue and report in the Loan Thread and we would be thankful for this. I would like reports especially for Denilson and Galindo (don't know where he even plays ).
