Official Gooners Thread - A New Hope

[Dinny Breen]

Some observations

- Firstly glad I called that wrong
- Awful awful first half performance and a very poor goal to give away
- Very comfortable 2nd half and Liverpool created nothing, could have played another 45 and Liverpool would created anything serious problems in that team
- Vermaelen was immense but Song was my man of the match, will be a big loss in January
- Actually glad to see Silvestre come on and Diaby - can't believe I said that
- Arshavin is mystery but glad he is an Arsenal mystery
- Have a nice run of games coming up and Arsenal could be top come end of January
- Almunia is still rubbish

Life is good again. Amazing what 3 points can do.

Arsenal were atrocious first half and marginally better the second. If Arsenal can stay within touching distance and get RVP back in March, things can happen. Still need a striker over 5 foot 3 in the Jan sales though.

Walcott badly needs games, and a role.

[Gaffer]

I ve given up on Walcott to be honest.
Think he s got long enough to prove himself and he hasn t done it.

Mad Jens still keeping it lit.

Stuttgart keeper Jens Lehmann was again entangled in controversy when he was red-carded three minutes from time in the Bundesliga match against Mainz and had a minor scuffle with a fan afterwards.

Stuttgart were leading 1-0 against Mainz until former Germany keeper Lehmann, 40, pushed striker Aristide Bance for no apparent reason and was sent off.

Earlier last week, Lehmann was pictured urinating against an advertising hoarding during Stuttgart's Champions League game against Unirea Urziceni.

Mainz converted the penalty and equalised, denying Stuttgart their third league win this season.

"The scene with Jens was unnecessary," Stuttgart coach Christian Gross said. "I know the player Lehmann very well but know little about the person Lehmann.

"I will intensively analyse the situation with him. The success of the team is above everything."

Lehmann, who was recently fined 40,000 euros (£35,000) for what the club said were damaging comments about Stuttgart fans, left the stadium without speaking to reporters and had a minor altercation with a fan outside.

The keeper ripped the man's glasses off before returning them a little later.

Ack c'mon now Dinny. He's been spurting an old anti-Chelsea comment every few days for the last few weeks. In my opinion it's getting embarassing, and laughable.

Whoosh on me that one. Who's the 'he'?

[Asal Mor]

Arsenal fans - what's the story with Eduardo? I bought him for my fantasy football team after Van Persie's injury but he's not getting a look in at the mo. Didn't even come off the bench on Sunday. Any chance of him getting a game soon or should i cut my losses and sell?

[Dinny Breen]

Alas not the same player since his leg break, low on confidence at the moment, I'd sell..

[Asal Mor]

Cheers Dinny. Think ill trade him in and buy Rodallega.
