Yeah especially against the likes of Nani, Rooney, Lil Pea. Hopefully we will play them with the usual fashion, out possessing them and minimizing their chances. Still think that their youth may prove to be speculative in linking up to set up lethal counters. But really I'm just homering out with that prediction

I didn't watch at Udinese, but all I saw on Twitter was how they were killing us down the wings. Was that inaccurate?

Jenkinson played well IMO. Against Nani, lets say I don't like the match up.

They had 2 or 3 dangerous runs on the wing. Nothing too alarming. Their biggest threat was us giving away dangerous FKs about 20 yards out.

Also I forgot they have Ashley Young now. frick.

Can't wait to finally see the midfield trio of Ozyakup-Lansbury-Coquelin take the EPL by storm.

Joel Campbell has had his work permit application rejected according to Young Guns. Will have to go out on loan.

Soooo.....after that result, what do we need. Granted we were down 8 players

It's going to be a long season at this rate.

Any word on the supposed Cahil deal?

It is a long season for everyone. Cahill and Hazard are done deals.

Here's a sports story that will hopefully resemble Arsenal's a year or two from now. A Miami team that was loaded with young talent lost 66-13 at Syracuse in 1998, a game that was nicknamed "Rout 66". The players used it as a motivator, going on to beat an undefeated UCLA team later that year and win 34 games in a row from 2000-2002.

His not being there is a huge blow. Hope he is fit on the 13th.

Supposedley Arsenal and Hazard have agreed on personal terms. Lille is holding out for 35mm pounds. They rejected a 30mm pound offer.

We are close to signing a striker at the moment but we are still looking for a midfielder and a defender.

Who is this striker Glass? Because Hazard is a winger fitting the midfield role I guess.

I'd be stoked if we got quality/proven CB, AM, Winger, LB, Second striker(in that order).

The Korean from Monaco? I don't know. Thanks to Chelsea the game is changed. If you want to be a big club you have to buy. I think after today we fianally realize this fact. We are a big club and need to make a few bold statements.
