he does everything at the club and they have no idea what to do without him. They've literally said "when he has a plan we follow , when he doesn't we say nothing'.He basically hired his superior and gets the minimum done (top 4 , last 16 CL).

there's a fear the club will fall without wenger because he literally fills in so many roles. Not sure why he has so much power anyways , which is the problem.


You would think a team as big as Arsenal would have better infrastructure.

Gabriel looked good in his first EPL start, he should definitely get more playing time.

4 points behind Manchester City for 2nd place with their loss @ Liverpool earlier today.

looked shaky at moments but there's some good potential there. Coquelin's injury worries me.. arteta isn't back yet , wilshere is still out for a week or so more , ramsey out , and all we have left is flamini who's struggling with an injury him self.

I don't think he's better than Lloris, and has tom improve on some aspects, but still glad he is getting recognition.

He's okay but I still find it hard to trust him. He makes good saves but his handling and height seemed as potential problem to me. Wojciech has much more potential imo. He doesn't deserve the #1 right now but he tied with Cech last season for clean sheets, was good in first half of that season. He's not suddenly a trash. Even in his last PL game I think Koscielny and Debuchy were at least as much as responsible for goals.

GK is probably 3rd biggest need for this team. Get DM and ST in this summer. I'd give them another year to prove themselves.

2-1 win @ QPR. Gabriel came off with an injury in the 37th, Ospina had a couple nice saves, Giroud and Sanchez with the goals. FA Cup @ Manchester United on Monday up next.

It's actually weird that Arsenal arent closer to the title when they are so good against scrubs. They never drop points against them.
Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Kevin Garnett, Toni Kroos, Pep Guardiola, Ernst Happel, Joachim Löw.

our stupid start to the season has taken us completely out of the question. We can never put up consistent season and its frustrating.

He is not a top tier keeper, that's for sure, but he is still a good keeper. He is a great shot stopper, he is really good at coming out for the ball as seen against Lukaku. In this area, he is light years ahead of Woj. I think he has to work on how he punches out balls and also on set pieces. I think the staff should spend some time with him improving on specific areas of his game, but he is a good keeper. His stats for Arsenal and Colombia are good, that's no coincidence.

I think we'll get second. City ca be shaky, we just have to keep beating the scrubby teams.

It's possible but It's still early and I won't get ahead of my self. Praying we finally win at OT on monday.

anyone watch the new invincibles documentary? wish our team today was half as tough as that one. None of the stuff that's tried against us today would happen. Also i've never seen a player look as big of pansy as Van Nistelrooy that one day at OT ever in my life watching sports.

You guys might have a point about Ospina's height. He's the shortest keeper in the EPL at 1.84.

Having said that, he also has the highest shot stoppage rate at 84%

Here's to hoping for an FA Cup repeat again this year. Finishing 2nd and winning an FA Cup would be a dream for this season.
