We enter the season waiting on the imminent transfer of our best player to a bunch of diving European Champions.





Thus destroying our once proud stable of haughty Danish forwards.








It was fun while it lasted.

I'd like to point out that our 2010/2011 season long thread is a record on the soccer board, and required the middling contributions of some 10 posters. It shall go down in history.

Bump to keep this thread higher than the Tottenham thread.

I'm relatively new to soccer so I watched a bunch of it over this summer on fsc and Arsenal has won me over. I love how they play, like their history and have read fever pitch, also their colors/jerseys. I'll be following them all season long.

Just wanted to let y'all know you have another fan on board

Rumor out there that Nasri and Wenger had a big fight and that Nasri is back on the market...

Shinji Kagawa also rumored as a possible Cesc replacement.

Saw we lost. Anybody watch it and want to recap it for me? Should I continue in my pessimism or were there positive signs from the match as well?

Arsenal website says Jack's surgery went well, will be back in 4-5 months. That puts his return in the February-March area which is quite a bit more time than the Christmas time return which which was originally speculated. Lost season for Jackie Boy.

Call me an optimistic, but I think we'll pick up some good ones over the winter. I think Chamakh might get sold back to France as well. Him not even being on the bench today probably wasn't a great sign for his future at the club. Sure seems like the smoke for Gourcuff has been billowing a lot lately.

Jenkinson out 2 weeks.

Lille won't sell Hazard for less than £40mil. Oh well. It was nice when we could dream.

Watt and Henderson given extensions.

We named a pretty strong squad for MCFC. Young Guns says Gervinho, Arshavin, Kos, and TV5 all in line to start.

According to YG, McCoist is worried we'll recall Bartley due to injuries. As someone else tweeted, we've lost both first-choice fullbacks, both understudies, and our makeshift RB. Pretty awesome!

So Henry to Arsenal on loan in January is actually being considered. What does everyone think of this?

I wouldn't mind it, we need numbers up front, but it doesn't deal with the long term problem that we don't have a backup striker.
