I need to make it to Finns at some point; it's about 1.5 hours from where I live in BR. If you guys form some kind of supporters club, I'm definitely in.

There's at least an 85% chance I go. If OSU makes it, I'm using every favor I've built up over the years to get taken along with the team. If LSU makes it, I'm probably going to go, soak up the atmosphere, and party with my buddies.

Arsenal has(besides Celtic)the most loyal fan base at Finn's. Come on down.

If any Arsenal fans are visiting NY and looking for a cool place to catch a match, there's a pub in Brooklyn Heights where a lot of Arsenal fans seem to gather for matches.
Cool place with Great! fish and chips and lots of Arsenal trinkets about. I've only been to the original Atlantic Ave location but know they also just opened a second shop in Park Slope.

You should catch a ride with Beezy and I next time we go.

I read a story where Coquelin wanted to leave as well. I wouldn't mind Arshavin leaving as we need more quality than he can provide at the moment.

Yeah if all stays as is, Coquelin will probably go back on loan to Lorient in January.

I'd still like to have Arshavin around as a super sub and a second striker in the CC. Doesn't look like he understands Wenger's strategy on substitutions though. Too bad for Arshavin he doesn't have the stamina to go a full 90 ever. Would like to see him get a shot with RvP playing centrally, but that doesn't seem like its going to happen.

Hopefully it is just a loan. I'd love to have him here, but this season there is too much at stake.

Yeah I'd be surprised if we let me go at this point. He's certainly played well enough to deserve a shot at some point in the future.

Would you consider going to an EPL club on loan, Francis?

what got me on arshavin is how open he is about it. even says barcelona is one of his favorite teams. guess europeans handle shite diff. He wasnt necessarily talking bad about wenger, but he also wasnt giving him too much praise.
maybe if the lil prince wouldnt just dribble into a wall he would get more pt. just my thoughts.

shite. A simple slip of the fingers and my identity is exposed. Son of a bitch...

I'd consider going on loan in the EPL. Practically anywhere but Stoke.

Also, my countryman Koscielny is getting the start (and his first cap) tomorrow vs the US.

Arshavin is who he is. One of the more fascinating athletes I've ever followed. I enjoy his honesty.

Arshavin was always going to be a short term fix at the price and age we got him at. We need a long term option at striker and LWF though.

He deserves it. He's been playing extremely well.

On the weekly rankings, Vermaelen and Kos are the two CBs. When has that ever happened???
