I seriously don’t understand why he won’t leave us alone…we sold you get over it…I still love the comment in The Sun paper “People booed him for being Samuel L Jackson in the Champions League Semi Final”… took me a minute to get it but totally was what he is…ridiculously lazy and took too many chances to convert one…he was lucky on Saturday with the build up since the ball hit off Samba’s leg and then Ade got it…

Watch him anyway over the course of the season, no more than 15 goals…can’t wait to meet him in the league soon, take lumps out of it Verminator!

Is anyone else amused by how much Adebayor is talking about arsenal, seems thats all he’s done since he moved to city, glad to know he is that pathetic to still be having digs at us when we truly don’t care.

walcott is not in the squad so unless eduado pips van persie and diaby pips denilson(unlikely) we are looking at a same team which is good in my opinion. News is that hamburg or Heartha berlin, cant remember which, have out bid sunderland for senderos and a deal might be in place. If senderos does leave it will look like wenger will use the 5 million to add to the hangeland bid to seal the deal (hopefully), still no news bout any DMs, chamakh looks set to wait out his contract which could he might sign for us in 5 months should wenger choose to pursue. Though i have a bad feeling that buying him might revert us back to adebayor days with that target man. i like this formation which is free and not rigid round one player. it allows us to play freely which seems to be very effective. anyway we shall see the team tommorow evening i guess

For 6million that is dirt cheap plus will give cover for Van Persie as Van De Vart is very good…I totally agree with you that it’s a different team we are seeing this season compared to last season, great willingness to kill the game off which was evident at the Everton game…

As long as they go out and play that way I know over two legs Celtic don’t have a hope…

Apologies for all the questions but who here is a season ticket holder and how long were you waiting to get it (as in on the list)?

MARC – Still quiet, other than the little rumour of Van Der Vaart for 6mil.

I agree celtic should never be underestimated. But I do think we have alot more going for us, not just with the big win away. We have more to prove and more to fight for in this away match, the is a look of urgency within this squad and I hope it continues throughout the season.

I can see Van Persie starting again. I still feel there will be alot of protection still around Edurado. The smallest of chnges if any for tomorrows game. A big game for us and our players. I feel Arshavin will hve a really good game too.

I don’t think Celtic should be underestimated…this is a team with a new manager and have finally won away from home…I think they are one of the hardest teams we could have met in the qualifying round…

Regarding team selection I can see Van Persie on the bench with Eddie up front…I still think he will play Theo as a sub as he lacks match practice…

Finally anybtransfer rumours? All very quiet on the Arsenal front

I think Wenger will prepare the team as if we were playing a Top 4 side, players and strategies alike. We have to go there with the same mid-set, attitude and focus as Everton. Celtic aren’t the hardest team in the world, but they can pull off results on the day. With hard work and determination any team can beat a top side. Burnley taking down 3 Premier sides in the league is a perfect example. But in saying that, when we have a good day we are unstoppable. I’m looking forwar to tomorrow. Come on you Gunners!

Gooner Til I Die!!

i dont thin k wenger will take any chances on tuesday its important we qualify far to much money to be made in the competition if we come home with 3 or more goals then he might play a weaker team

still gettin to grips with the result and the game as a whole.I was impressed by Song he really pretty much started where he left and long may he continue to upgrade himself.Denii played a mature game as well he linked played well and when it was needed to defend he was there i think having Song there will bring out the best of both Cesc and Denii but we have to think ahead bout wat we will do when he goes for the ACN,dont think we have anyone else who can do the same job. Yes Denii can drop in there but i dont think he would be that effective and that jus leaves Diaby .and with that i think we can see that we have a lil problem ahead of us but um sure Wenger has that in his thoughts. Verminator was superb if you watch the game or highlights closely u will see he was constantly talking constantly giving the whole defensive line instructions with regard to defnding set pieces but mostly for th off side trap it really was a joy to witness. I really like B52 he linked well with the play and i think the idea of him at the wings works quite well coz he will be fighting for the ball with RB¿s abd LB¿s who u have to admit are not as bigbuilt as lets say CB¿s,really enjoyed his input yday and to see him taken off for preservation rather than poor performance was a reall and utter joy that i hope to witness for many more weeks and years to come. Bring on Celtic,jus hope the lads know its another game we have to start from scratch and not to rest on their laurels
