Scroll through, I wasn't Very Happy

It takes balls of steel for a CEO to face questions from a supporters' group annually, without fail, despite all the shit flying around. IG does that and I respect him for it.

I still dont like Ivan Gazidis, its Wenger who should take the credit, carrying Arsenal from day one.

Well you are in a majority, as Mole rightly point out.

IG is no Dein, but I think he is essential in building our commercial outreach and helping us tie up some huge commercial revenue streams.

AW is without doubt the person who get credit for all on field accomplishments, as well as considerable respect for managing this team loyally through the debt laden & financially constrained times of building a beautiful new stadium.

But if we are to generate revenues to the same tune of Real Madrid, Barca, ManUtd or Munich, then in my opinion, we need a CEO like Ivan Gazidis to stand next to AW and market AW's ideology and philosophy and our brand of football.

Just a personal opinion Smile

For those of you of a conspiracy theory bent, the new Arsenal headshots provide something to talk about. The eagle-eyed noticed that both Nicklas Bendtner and Robin van Persie appear to have been Photoshopped onto Per Mertesacker’s body (the shirt is exactly the same), and the van Persie picture is the same one as last year. OMG! What can it mean?!

Marco Reus has revealed his admiration for Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky, and hopes to follow in the footsteps of the Czech Republic international at Borussia Dortmund.

The 23-year-old joined the Bundesliga champions from Borussia Monchengladbach earlier in the summer, and he is targeting making an impact for his new employers as an attacking midfielder, rather than a forward.

"Tomas Rosicky has always been my favourite player. I always tried to model my game on him," Reus was quoted as saying by Bild.

"His intelligence on the ball and the way he makes everything look easy hugely impressed me.

"I am feeling very well in the position of attacking midfielder. It's not too different from where I played at Monchengladbach."

Reus netted an impressive 18 times in 32 Bundesliga appearances for Gladbach last term, as they secured a Champions League qualifying place.

Reminds me of how good a player he was at BvB,how good he should have been at Arsenal Sad

I don't believe these quotes. They seem extremely fabricated.

The Guardian's Premier League preview has started today, with Arsenal first up. Newspaper predicts #afc to finish 4th - http://bit.ly/Q1NCqO

Would you guys be happy with a 4th place finish but getting a domestic cup or two if the Chelsea CL scenario doesn't repeate itself? (talking about 4th not getting CL)

by urbaNRoots Mon Aug 06, 2012 10:29 am

Yes I would take FA Cup and/or Champions League and a 4th place finish.

Well last year only a few out of 50 pundits (for BBC I believe) picked us to remain in the top 4 yet we finished 3rd so maybe this time we can push above their expectations again Smile

I seriously don't know what they saw in that Liverpool team.
I think they got deceived by their second half of the season comeback when Dalglish took over.

About those clear cut chances. The likes of Gervinho and Ramsey really need to step it up in terms of productivity. It infuriates me to no end when they do all the hard work and then impersonate Ramos' shooting technique. Very Happy

Not sure about making fool of himself, the man talks like a fan and he is pissed he is not on the board, anyone in the wold would be pissed if they had that much shares and on the board.

"But this is not the point. I am a fan and I am not going to sell these shares at any time, since this is the club that I consider the best in the world."

"Arsenal were one of the first teams I saw on television, and at that time I started supporting them," Usmanov revealed.
