Absolutely pathetic. Looks like Cesc & RVP aren't getting along either. Seriously, i'm worried Fabregas might just up & leave end of this season. He doesn't look like he's enjoying his football anymore. Plus he needs a rest. He looks really worn out mentally & physically & we're not even half-way through the season yet. Wenger needs to buy in January. He needs to solve the leadership crisis. If he can't do these 2 basic things i fear i'm going to lose all respecct for him as a manager. I can't belive it has come to this... Anyone see the Fenerbache game? Absolutely pathetic. Looks like Cesc & RVP aren’t getting along either.

As for Silvestre, it was a good buy. Imagine our defence without him.................Adebayor needs either some counselling or a brain surgery, whichever will take him longer to rejoin...........

I think we can safely say that that claim is false, or do you wish to disagree? Generally speaking, I would contend that a) one person can only present their own views, b) one person can only say so much about the sport (i'd need to write 20+ articles a day if i had to cover each and every angle of each and every story, c) i've praised arsenal in the past but mostly my articles on arsenal are aimed as a counter-balance to fan pieces that profess their undying love for arsenal's 'style' and d) anyone, everyone, is welcome to sign up and write on Soccerlens, as long as you can put two sentences together without tripping over your spelling and grammar. So feel free to sign up and bash united or praise arsenal or whatever. As long as you can write, your views will not be censored (unless it's illegal, hate speech or otherwise gets the site into legal troubles).

All the progress we had made last season has been undone in a few short weeks. The team is in turmoil & a lot of bad feeling has cropped up between players after the last 2 matches. Gallas needs to leave. He has absolutely no standing left within the team. He started off great at the beginning of last season but went from bad to worse since the Birmingham game. As a player he is still a decent centreback (barring the headers) & is still our supreme goal-poacher (who can forget the ones he scored against Man Utd & Chelsea last season?). But as a leader he's rubbish. Wenger needs to wake up. The board needs to appoint a Director of Football quicksmart. Someone who has the respect of Wenger, the fans & the Board but who will also challenge Wenger on transfers. BUY BUY BUY IN JANUARY FOR FUCK"S SAKE!!! Wenger also needs to get his tactics & team selection right. Playing people out of position is just retarded if you don't know what you're doing & Wenger clearly has lost the plot. Didn't he learn from last season that Diaby is useless out on the left? And if he doesn't want to play Walcott at least put Eboue out on the right instead of Denilson. Stop playing Denilson as a DMF. Everyone can see he's more in the mold of Fabregas than Flamini. Song is too slow both in mind & body. He's got talent but he's a long way off from filling Flamini's shoes. I fear its just going to get from bad to worse. Barring a miracle fightback i expect a drubbing at the hands of Man Utd this weekend. They at least have their shit together despite a bad start to the season. Have to agree with this one. All the progress we had made last season has been undone in a few short weeks.
