re: Arsenal 2013/2014 Season Long Thread

Going to be a tough match at Hull tomorrow.. The boys really need three points to put some massive pressure on Everton.

Can't wait..

So excited about tom. No work, get to just relax and drink for the game. Well maybe not relax, will prob be nervous the whole game.

I'm going to try and go to Finn's early for the Liverpool match to try and take the edge off. Who am I kidding, I'll be nervous the entire match.



COYG !!!

I LOVE THIS TEAM !!..

Today's team:

ARSENAL: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Arteta, Ramsey, Cazorla, Ozil, Podolski, Giroud
Subs: Fabianski, Jenkinson, Flamini, Kallstrom, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Rosicky, Sanogo

They still haven't looked on form like they were before Christmas, but the movement and prowess of the team in the final third is SO MUCH better/creative with Ramsey and Özil in the middle. It's amazing.

Night and fricking day. How beautiful were both of those goals?

And I'm still saying keep Podolski in the starting lineup until his makes us do otherwise.

@CulannDavies said it best IMO: his all-around play is much easier to stomach when rambo and mesut are out there.

For me it was sluggish at times, they could have really killed this hull team.

But, Ramsey and Arteta. hats the pairing we miss so bad. I didn't think Ramsey would just pick up where he left off, but god damn. He's so good. Another brace for poldi. Defense was fine. Overall that's going to keep us top 4 and win the FA cup. I truly believe the bpl was ours with just Ramsey. Lil passes of play like between he and Giroud on the sideline shows his skill on the ball. He is the future of Arsenal.

Just a quick question for gunners fans, how frustrated are you or aren't you with ownership's transfer policy? Watching y'all play its clear you're just 2 top end players and some energy away from being one of the top clubs in the world but they just won't spend it. I know they were citing stadium financing for awhile but can that really be the issue at this point?

Ozil was superb today. Hull played two out and out strikers and left a ton of space between the back line and midfield, and Ozil ate it up. Drew what should have been a penalty, opened up the Podolski right foot shot on target, opened up the opening goal, the second, and his movement on the third freed up the space.

Just had to add that b/c commentator gave the typical "Ozil is talented, but needs to be on the cutting edge more" bullshite after the game. Sometimes that's true...today it was not.

Can't say enough about Rambo, either. I'll let his day speak for itself. He's a fricking monster. Our future is bright. Let's just get to the CL and have a big summer with a trophy in our hands.

well, i suppose we can keep posting this list every few pages on here

RB - been linked to Serge Aurier and Sebastian Jung fairly heavily. wouldn't mind seamus coleman but he's likely to pricey for our tastes.

CM - we really have been linked to many CMs lately, which is odd. We were linked to Lars Bender last year, so i'd imagine we'll make another run there. Schneiderlin wouldn't be a bad EPL ready option. There's a chance we could nab Khedira depending on who Real go after (i think he's only got one year left on his contract).

ST - we've been linked to a lot: Mandzu, Drmic, Balo, Benz...i think a lot of it will come down to the striker carousel that will happen (again) this summer.

CB - we've been linked to Ginter, but German journos seem to think he's Dortmund bound. not sure who we'll target here, but you have to think we'll add.

winger - griezmann and draxler have been heavily linked.

GK - we need one since Fabianski is gone and Viviano is a loanee.

as for who we sell, i think TV5 is probably gone. i thought maybe poldi too, but now i don't since he's been on fire scoring goals. besides that, i don't think there's anyone we'll sell. we need to add depth, not stay the same.
