Official Gooners Thread - A New Hope

[Windmill abu]

It looks like Lehman, Gilberto & Diarra could all be away in the January transfer window.

While losing Mad Jens & Gilberto to Germany & Italy probably wont hurt the gunners too much, Diarra going (possibly to Portsmouth) should be more of a concern.

Alliadiare at Middlesborough & Bentley at Blackburn have shown that there are better chances of first team football elsewhere in the premiership.

Wenger's policy of loaning players out to potential rivals may backfire on him if Djorou comes back from Birmingham to sit on the subs bench or play in the reserves for the rest of the season.

Loaning players out or playing them in the league cup, may give them more experience, but it is also the best shop window for your rivals.

Too many former young guns may come back to punish us unless we adopt a policy of only selling, or placing players on loan, to foreign leagues.

There must be at least 20 players in the premiership that came through the Arsenal Academy, what other club produces so many players of premiership standard if not necessarily top 4 standard......


Watched the Everton game in small pokey pub down in Wexford surrounded by funny looking one eyed people who all seem to be related, for some reason they all seem Man U fans, must have been a coincidence....anyway Arsenal were poor but to come away with a 4 -1 win will as Norf Tyrone says give the young goons tremendous belief...

Funny no one has mentioned the Man U Xmas party as an excuse for their poor form, since that party and the publicity their form has been brutal, I had always thought Manure would win the title although I think the tide is changing.....

Good start to the year, especially after the evening result.

Just as long as he doesn't do anything stupid and were still in the cup on Monday....I hope he's professional enough not to "throw" anything...
