I'm not much on collared kits, but I even like the collar a little.

Ya'll hear the shite Wenger was going on about earlier today? How it's been a "difficult climate" at home games and insinuating that lack of fan support was the cause for the club's failure to compete for a title.

I'm done with the guy. Respect what he's done, have zero faith he can do it anymore.

Yeah I think he's out of touch with the fanbase. He doesn't understand why people are upset. He actually thinks it is only a small portion. I expect him to get booed pretty severely against Norwich.

Regardless it is super hard for me to admit it might be time to move on. It is difficult to imagine an Arsenal team without him around. The problems we have could be fixed by one summer of investment, but it kills me that we never do that. We can find the right sort of player at the right price with the cash reserves we have. I would love if we got Idrissa Gueye at a cut rate price. He's been as good as Kante this year.

If we want Kante 2 I like Naby Keita, but we desperately need a striker, more than anything else in the world.

Halftime vs. Norwich.

This team looks like it doesn't give a shite.

If Arsenal can't get 3 points at home vs a team that has been on vacation all season, then they don't even deserve Europa. Hell, I'd be very disappointed getting nothing at the Etihad when City is playing for a spot in the UCL final before our game.

Teeny tiny bright spot. Danny has 4 goals and 2 assists in 6 league appearances.

If he can produce that sort of return over 38 games, our striker situation becomes much more tenable.

That's a big if though. Still, make it 30 appearances and you're still looking at 20
goals.
I've always been high on Welbeck and was pumped for him to break out this year. That obviously couldn't happen because of injury but I'm hoping he has a good euro and comes back hot and healthy next year.

Here's a recent interview with John Terry where he said some very nice things about Thierry Henry. It's one of the last questions if you don't to watch the full 2 minutes.

So what's the deal with Ozil?
Injury?
Contract?
Is he ready to move on?
Could Alexis be far behind?

intrigued on what happens next year with the team....can't see any reason why Ozil and Sanchez would want to stay...i dont know their contractual agreements. this team is stagnant, i can see them missing the top 4 if they lose this game


i know one thing..ehlneny is the best side to side and backwards passer this world has ever seen

It's pretty evident Wenger doesn't rate Campbell much. He'd have been gone this year if not for injuries. He'll be sold in the summer. I think he's a useful squad player and has played really well when called upon this year, and is obviously better than Walcott, but whatever.

Cech's near post weakness is glaring. I think he really struggles athletically to get down to quick shots and cheats to the far post, and teams are exploiting that now. He's been weirdly inconsistent this year, lots of clean sheets but also games where he's cost us points.

So...what's everyone's opinion on the rumors of Walcott headed to West Ham?

More money for us to not spend

Honestly though I really like Theo, but I thought the contract we gave him was horrible and we could do a lot better.

Yea, I thought Ozil's through balls would let Theo really light up the league; wishful thinking I suppose.

He played his best game in a while yesterday. Just never consistent enough since his injury. He's been straight up dreadful at times this season.

He wants the ball at feet too much. It's problematic. He made some good runs behind the defense yesterday and it really opened city up. If he can do that consistently he can be a solid contributor for us. His speed is a game changer. The problem is that Theo likes to play to his weaknesses instead of his strengths.

What I don't get is I really can't get why we really never see him try to just knock a ball past someone and beat them to it anymore.
