respect.. his opinions and talks are completely non biased..

Fair play to Nevs. The guy is very impartial with his view. I can't knock him.

Preview for Swansea replay will be online tonight.

I think they have a better squad which is more consistent and focussed. Blasphemous as it may sound.
Our mentality is worse than theirs was last season.

Good stuff by Auclair on Arsenal

He actually said that?

You guys don't find this startling?

I totally do . Why are some people surprised to see RVP not-injuried and playing that well ?? . without him Man u would be something like 2nd or 3rd as the team is not that good.
As soon as he left i just forget about him even though i'd have love to see him stay

Sky sources understand that Theo Walcott has agreed in principle to a new three-and-a-half-year deal with Arsenal.

Olivier Giroud has now gone 6 starts without scoring - worrying.

We have not lost in any of those 6 games though right ?

Giroud's been ok so far though. I mean he hasn't been outstanding, but he has been good and he has set up some good goals too. I'm sure he'll be even better next season

I believe, yes.


He's been better in certain areas than I thought he'd be. Much more creative than I thought him to be. I knew Montpellier changed their philosophy last season to benefit from that side of him more but I obviously was expecting a bit more in the goals department from someone as intelligent as him. Now worries, there's still half a season to play and 9 goals is okay. He can definitely do better and I believe he will.

Great interview with Arsenal legend Tony Adams: http://t.co/SFOarmbk

Worth a read.

Vieira says Arsenal play better football now than invincibles did, says Wenger is greatest manager he ever worked with

Either that's the trollingest interview ever given... or....?

Have u seen Giroud's Touches in the last game ?! i don't care about his scoring stats as long as he keeps providing this touches

^Agreed, I never thought Olivier had such a refined touch in him.

His hold-up play,vision and overall willingness in our build-up is crucial in the way we play. If he can reach 20 goals this season, I'll consider him a successful transfer.

Did I say that he didn't play well in his last 6 games...?

As a forward, your prolificacy is your most examined trait, regardless of how well he's done in other aspects of his play, he should be scoring. It's undeniable.

15+ goals and around 15 assists is what I expect him to finish with. I'd be content with those numbers for a first season.

The last time Arsenal had 34 points after 22 league games was in 1995-96 season (9 months before Wenger had arrived) when the club finished 5th.

I honestly thing the steel in the midfield ' crap is over rather. What we are missing is a Gilberto Silva type of player..... not a Patrick Vieira. Another reason why I think we are better off buying M'vila than Capoue. Anyone agree?

I think that at this point, any capable top-flight DM with an ounce of tactical awareness and work-rate would upgrade us.

You do not rate Coquelin? (Yes I know he isnt exactly a DM). I think we are now in the same position as we were back in 2006. The only difference is that the other teams have gotten a lot stronger, and there is Man City.

I think Arsene has learned from our previous "pre-mature Ejaculation" Generation, and has built the team around a British core. We are not too far away from the promised land. If one screwup of a season is what it takes, then so be it.

Anybody think we should have also gone after that Greek DM/CH from Shalke?
