I think they will definitely get a good run during the african nations though! ok mate fair enough, but not sure how regular they will both be yet!

Adebayor will have to think of something ......... But right, proof of that is still outstanding.

And I agree it is the most exciting pre-season for arsenal fans in years and we only signed 1 first teamer. Ive got a good feeling about this one!!

Still well worth a look though :) and Chris Martin is hardly going to beat you up. Michael I think it may calm you down to know she is married.

Ah well whatever. I still think there shouldn't be so much expectation from him until he settles into the Premiership playing environment. In terms of leadership qualities i think it'll be between Gilberto & *cringe* Gallas. People say Toure would make a good captain. I agree he's got great skill (his last goal against Spurs was an awesome move!), he's inspirational on the field & can motivate squad members when needed. But he's also a bit young at the moment & i don't think he's got the tactical ability to lead from behind. You can see the importance Gilberto is gonna play this season. Everyone respects him, everyone loves him, he plays hard & he plays well & he doesn't take shit from anyone, while at the same time managed to get the best out of his teammates when Henry wasn't there. In his playing position he has a better view of the way the game is going & can organise the team more efficiently from there. Check out replays of the Copa America if you wanna know what the hell i'm talking about. Look at how anxious Wenger got when there was a (supposed) bid made for him by Valencia(?). He knows Gilberto is going to be essential for the new season. As for *cringe* Gallas, he's got the skill & the experience & could probably 'beat' the team into shape on the field during play. But he seems to be another egomaniac who wants the captaincy to feed his vanity. So i'd put Toure as optional second to these guys along with maybe Fabregas or even *another cringe* Lehmann.

I think you guys are quite alright and if there was no Arsenal I might even be a Pool supporter. But enough of the sweet stuff: Spiral Architect (good name!) - great expectations come automatically if you play for a team like Arsenal. What some people have not realised yet is that we have got a superstar in the making who LOVES pressure! Especially with Adebayor injured: throw him in, he can take it. And let's also be realistic about Adebayor: his place is the bench, not the first team. Both Bendtner and da Silva have to proof though that they can do better (which both will have little problem to do if I may say so). Who will lift the trophy at the end of the season is still shrowed in mist - too much can happen in a long and exhausting season. One thing though can be taken for granted: it will not be Spurs .... har har har har! As an Arsenal fan I would like to say that I wouldn’t mind Liverpool finishing 2nd :) .
