Stan k is worth 8.5 Billion. Arsenal are one of the most profitable clubs in all of world sport. This has nothing to do with staying afloat. This has to do with a horrible human being screwing over a fan base for maximum profit.

To be honest, I am surprised Usmanov is willing to do business with a douche like Kroenke.

Ok, well, we are officially giving up our spot to Fulham or QPR. WTF?

If I was Campbell I'd get the eff out of Arsenal. Walcott isn't really a better option and neither is iwobi at the moment.

Lol I wish this was true

Wolfsburg are set to accept an Arsenal bid of £41.9m for Julian Draxler. [TuttoMercatoWeb]

And we were down 4-1 to this Liverpool team. I really wish we would just counterattack, we're really good at it

That article was depressing to read.

I think a counter attacking style would suit us well but not sure that works if we want Giroud up top.

Well it was looking like Liverpool, Spurs, and Chelsea were all going to drop points this week, but Costa had to do his late match troll job after he should have been sent off yet again.

That being said the other top clubs have looked off at times this season as well. Chelsea and Spurs haven't looked good at all this season really. Liverpool has had 1 good half, sadly it was against us.

If Arsenal can get something done before the transfer window closes my outlook changes drastically.

edit: then Spurs take home all the points late as well.

The fact a player like Batshuayi was available this window should infuriate Arsenal fans. There is quality there of the right kind at the right price. We just need to pay it.

our idea of the right price and that of the people making decisions at the club is drastically different.

So we are 15 minutes in. Does the Ox even have a touch?

It is way, way too soon, but Xhaka is not impressive.

Alexis is going to be a huge star for Barcelona.

The guy doesn't even have 45 minutes with a new team in a new league.

Coquelin on a fast pace to getting yellow card suspension.

Monreal has been caught out of position so much these first 2 matches, very concerning.

I think I kind of said that, but his hustle on 50/50 balls is not impressive. How many touches has he put himself in a position to have...very few.

Xhaka has been good. He's exactly the sort of disciplined, strong defensive midfielder who can also play incisive passes that we need. If he plays in game one we don't get torn apart like we do. Chamberlain has been our most dangerous player as well. The sky isn't falling.

This is basically our A-- team and we're playing the defending champions at their place to a standstill.

Yes our transfer policy, either bc of Kroenke or Wenger, is atrocious. We needed a striker and CB and both were available and we got none. Kroenke is a terrible owner, selfish as frick. Just look at the Rams.

But regardless we're going to be fine, especially once everyone is back after the international break and the schedule eases up. Will we win the league? No and that's annoying. But will we'll be up there and we'll have our moments. Such is the life of an arsenal fan
