i want to be a member of Arsenal.

Happy New Year to all Gunners and Gooners!

We have Bolton twice in the next 2 weeks, so the appointment of thei rnext manager is of grave oncern to us. Read Sparky is up fo it, though I hope not.

Happy new year folks! Hope 2010 brings with it loads of Arsenal trophies, and ofcourse, your heart desires!
Much love!

Go gooners ! Go gooners !! Go gooners !!!

Good game all in all and kudos to our midfielders…i must admit like Dev i was nervous given how pompey had turned liverpool over, unlucky against Villa, unlucky to loose against man utd albeit with some dubious refereeing decisions.

Without being negative or too hard on the boys….

Only criticism for Ramsey and Diaby is their failure to track back for Pompey’s goal. Ramsey was about 7 yards from Belhadj yet he just stood and watched the pompey player score from the cutback as Song had got into the box to cover the space between Vermaelen and Billy. Diaby just strolled back towards the 18 yard box. I think this got Wenger angry. I have no doubt Wenger will be pointing this error out and the fact that you cannot switch of at any point. Thankfully Song got the all important 4th goal to kill any comeback hopes…

Inspite of the above i cannot fault the teams attitude and application.

Song was absolutely immense. At his age, he’ll be as good as Makalele in my honest opinion. Of course it depends on how committed he is n stuff but I feel he has the right attitude and like so many other Gunners, he’s ridiculously young for his capabilities. But that’s what you get when u r @ the Arsenal. I remember we wanted Melo badly…i did presonally… but u do wonder if Song would have blossomed like he has if we got Melo? Hard 2 say. But he has been super 4 us and we will miss him.

Having said that, I’m enjoying seeing Diaby develop into a box-to-box kinda player helping out at the back and in an attacking sense. It’s really good 2 c. In Song’s absence, his height and physicality will be important for us. I think Ramsey can play with Cesc because he really started deep yesterday and was getting stuck in & winning a few tackles. Very very good 2 see.

I think us getting back the likes of Bendtner and Theo (again) in Jan…maybe even Clichy…will be a welcomed boost at a time when fixtures are very pivotal. And as Dev said, When u compare the players we have out to players Chelsea have…had their equivalent players been out, they would have been in a right mess. Seriously!

I like how Arsene switched between Sagna and Eboue so far so u feel as if once Sagna isn’t injured, the rests he got earlier in the season will serve him well in the nxt month or so with Manu off to Angola.

Heard Diaby signed a long-term contract. I like how the Club are signing up players this year. Very encouraging and nice 2 see. Personally, can’t wait to see Rosicky signed up! He’s a fav player of mine.

Tough times ahead but let’s show we are ready to take the prem down to the wire!

happy new year dude. particularly looking forward to celebrating a cup victory in madrid with you in may!

Very true Goonerman, if we get through Jan + Feb within reach then we will have a very serious chance of winning the league…!!

and then the beggining of february doesnt get much easier with chelsea and liverpool straight after united so its a big couple of months coming up but that means we will get a lot of big games out of the way quickly !

Very true Fo, have a look at ours and Chelsea’s fixtures though…

Chelsea’s January looks very easy – Hull, Sunderland, Birmingham and Burnley…

Where as we’ve got Bolton twice, Everton, Villa and United.
