No doubt. I am so proud of todays result. Gervinho, Song and Jenkinson were fantastic. We are where we belong. The next few days should be very interesting.

Well now there are so many needs because we need to solidify our back line. I think one CB, two MF and another goal scorer. I would even say three midfielders. Somebody that can create, a holding midfielder and another wide player. Hazard would be a nice addition but we haven't solved any our issues from seasons past and Ramsey and Jack are not at Nasri and Fab level yet.

Jack is for sure. Aaron needs some time, but he was composed today. Hazard and Lugano/Mertesecker would be a fricking homerun.

Guess the higher pay check motivates you to take shots at your old fans too...

Nasri takes shot a Gunner fans

I saw that. I don't hate Cesc, but Nasri is a fricking mercenary. frick HIM. If Arsenal ever plays Barca in The Emirates Cesc will be treated like Henry. Nasri will be whistled and booed off the pitch.

Im afraid in todays game money will drive players more than ever. Unless we find a way to match it, we will be right where we are. A good to very good team, but not quite great.

I hope jack and ramsey stay loyal and healthy

We have Wal-Mart money. Once all the condos and stadium are completely paid we need to enter the modern world of club football.

I like this underdog version of Arsenal. I kinda wanna jump on the Gooner wagon.

We've been underdogs for a while now. There's no wagon when you are as depleted for trophies as we are.

Really hope the KaKa deal goes through.

If only because "Kaka" is one of the few names that's more fun to say than "Cesc Fabregas".

No way. He's a shadow of the player he once was. His game, like Arshavin's, relied on that half yard of pace that all players eventually lose. I really don't want him.

Did he get injured during his first Real season? Because somewhere around one year after his transfer from Milan he lost that amazing burst he had where he out ran every defensive midfielder and the center backs.

Yeah, but his game never fit in with Real to be honest. I don't want him here because we already have one technical magician who has lost pace. I don't see a reason for another. It would be a panic buy, and at £17 million, not worth it.

I'd also like to point out the excellent game Ramsey had today. Looked slightly out of it in the 1st half, but still moved the ball extremely well. He had a 92% passing clip, completing 65 passes. He also covered the most distance of any Arsenal player. He might be understanding the DLP role in Wilshere's absence.

Aaron was the unsung hero for sure. Jersey on now and forever.
