Sorry Dear Ahmed Bilal, to continue and not as you say don’t kick someine when thye are down – BUT there is a very close line between madness and genius. I think our footbball is genius – now if you told me that against football it was madness – yes. Poor Senderos is match short and we miss the Genius that is William Gallas. Give them time….

Sometimes in football things do not goaccording to plan, live with it. Arsenal are a great team with great players. With too many variables it juat did no go right. For 37 years i suppported them thru think and thin and god I read the fairweather supporter comments above and just feel like crap. 8 weeks without dream football (and that be no goals i guess) and you want to break down the walls. Something tells me that you would all be happier in the centre of the walls of that horse back stabbing. So piss off back to Chelski and leave the beauty and grace of arsenal. All i read above is give or talke about years of support (in all 3 people making comments). So agian let me reiterate – go oss and support American football because you are cleary in the wrong place. Thta is the good the bad the ugly. It is a pity you dont realise that. Anyhoo enjoy supporting Clelski (or maybe Man U??) – if it fails it looks like Dallas might make the superbowl. Football is all about being uppredictablity so live with that.

I have said it for awhile now, and I’m glad people are catching on to it. Henry is done. He should be rested a lot more now. Freddie is done. Gilberto is the worst passer in the premiership. (It used to be Sol).
I’m beginning to think that Tour should be playing Gilberto’s role. Flamini is simply not good enough to start for Arsenal. Arsene raves about Baptista. But why isn’t he giving him a run. He’s certainly not the only good player to sign to play in the Premiership this year. Baptista could have started yesterday in place of Song.
And for goodness sake, Arsene let Freddie be a squad player.

Hmmmm, bold statement about Henry. I agree and disagree. He may be past his prime, but he did lead the league last year with 27 goals, and you never know when he’s going to turn in a hat trick.
The likes of Walcott and Van Persie are definately the future, but Henry can pass, and he can still score. I’d like to reserve judgement for now, but he certainly seems off his form a bit this year.

I totally agree with you. I have been saying it now for a while. Henry is getting past his prime and the prem is passing him by, plus he is just too soft and over-stylish for the English league to be of any threat to defenders. The league has changed so drastically in the past few years and Wenger and Arsenal are just too obstinate to be able to evolve with the league. What justifies his obsession with his current style of play if he is not getting results and we’re in danger of not qualifying for Europe this or next year? I’m not saying TH14 should be offloaded, no rather he should be benched a whole lot more than he is and be replaced by the likes of stokes & bendtner. I’m also not saying AW should be sacked, but he must borrow a leaf from Mourinho and try a little, nay a lot more pragmatism in his style. Then maybe we will start having a little bit more success.
