Official Gooners Thread - A New Hope

Giroud's a crowd favourite. He has a quare knack of getting his head under an opposition's corner. He seems to be a fox in le box - gets his toe or head on a cross.

I just knew it wasn't going to be a great day for Arsenal at Villa Pk, when they tried to score during the 19th minute applause, in tribute for a cancer stricken player/ team captain.

Footballers live in a bubble - doubt they had a clue what was happening.

So everything is supposed to come to a complete stop for the 19th minute in every Villa home game??

[Walter Cronc]

Talk of Huntelaar in the press this morning. Would be a bargain at 6 million!! I'd imagine his wages would be in the 75-100k mark. Thoughts??

[Main Street]

Yes I do believe the game should have stopped and the players join in the applause 

I forgot, when in the Arsenal thread, use appropriate smileys to indicate that the post should not be taken literally even if there is only a 1% chance that the post could be taken seriously.

Sorry, Billy and Dinny, I was just extrapolating a bit of humour out of an observation of an event in the game.

Why did Wenger have to spoil it with the trophy pledge.

And the spelling mistake!

I note that you (are) totally committed and dedicated to this sport and that you won the RTE Player of the Year Award in 2012.

Wonder will the prof go?

The tide has definitely turned...

Arsenal will probably finish in the top 4 again.

Wenger is so good that he'll do it with a shower of shite.

But he's further from the title than ever in terms of creating a squad capable of achieving.

Is it him? Are his hands tied? Are the players not listening to him?

Wenger is a brilliant manager and I'll always place him ahead of Fergie through bias and Ferguson's tendency to buy players others dicovered but .......

The board will never sack him. He makes them a fortune. He gets them into the CL knock-out year on year whilst selling his best players.

[Tony Baloney]

If they are set on selling their best players and not splashing out big money on buying the best players they will remain a viable business however will any manager make inroads under those circumstances?
