Official Gooners Thread - A New Hope

[deiseach]

Well done arsenal. Happy for wenger. I admire his stubborn belief in his core principles. Congrats Dinny, O'Neill, muppet and the other long suffering arsenal fans on here.

+1. I was mildly surprised at the venom that was spewed at Liverpool from Arsenal fans online when it looked like Liverpool might win the league. Given the teams Liverpool were lined up against, it seemed . . . disproportionate. But you didn't see any of that on here. The Gunners here are all right (my highest compliment). Hope they enjoyed the win.

Arsenal fans would be well advised not to read too much into winning the FA Cup..Yes, it does bring to an end a barren 9 year period. But it doesn't herald the beginning of a new revolution. Before that is even remotely possible, Arsenal need to look into the reasons for their poor performances against the top teams in their head to head clashes this season.. Congrats to them on winning the FA Cup, but that's all it was. The same FA Cup won last year by Wigan Athletic, and won only a few seasons ago by Portsmouth.

Where would we be without Rossies telling us what to think?

Are you trying to say Arsenal will be relegated in the near future?

[trileacman]

It ends the pointless jibe of it's been 8 years without a title but the problems at Arsenal still remain. It's not that they are a team in decline or decay it's just the stagnation at the club that seems too hurt. It's surprising really but seeming to take 2 steps forward and 2 steps back is preferable to simply staying still without solving any of the old problems or presenting any new ones.

Congrats really though, you've got to enjoy any victory you get because as many of us know they can often be few and far between!

[Shrewdness]

Ziggy90, Arsenal have a team laden with top quality players. Someone above said that yesterday's win could be a launchpad to winning the CL. My point was that winning an FA cup guarantees no such thing. Not convinced by Arsenal's defence for latter stages of CL.......Muppet, what the hell has being from Roscommon got to do with what i said.

Well done Gooners, may it not be as long again.

Phew, thank the Lord for that advice. I was thinking of world domination after Saturday.

It never happened we all just dreamt it.

I am disappointed but not all that surprised Wenger has shown no interest in Cesc.

2 or even 3 out of Arteta/Diaby/Flamini could all be let go with the arrival of Cesc. I know he normally plays further forward but like Roy Keane under Fergie, he could be told to sit and hold behind Ozil and co. Arsenal have a relatively good buyback option as well so really should be going all out. They could always sell him on again.

I don't really understand why Barca would let him leave.

I don't really understand why Barca would let him leave.

They must have good reason, looks like he is going to Chelsea who offered him a better deal than Man Utd
