I think you guys are fine.
once walcott, podolski, ox, wilshere, diaby and gibbs are back you have the depth to play in all three competitions

this gunner hype reminds me of a team last season. lovely team, reached the cup final, a european final and were 1 point away from winning the league.
then they lost all 3 within 2 weeks time.
all i know is that i wasn't anywhere near as hyped in November as gunners are and no way they gonna have a season like ours.
settle down.

Nobody plays like Zidane this season or has since Zidane, except maybe Kaka at his best.
Zidane is tall so it makes it seem like he's playing in slow motion while showing incredible technique.

People are forgetting that we already have quite a sizeable injury list and a few key players are on it.
Walcott
Podolski
Chamberlain
Flamini
Jack
Sanogo
Diaby
Add Gibbs's injury that he picked up yesterday to that list and thats 8 players who are currently out who would make the match squad, and 4 out of those would ordinarily be in contention for a spot in the starting 11.
We have had a similar sized injury list so far this season with players (Arteta, Rosicky, Cazorla, Sagna) rotating in and out of it and we have done fine and are 5 points clear.
As long as 2 players who could fill the same position (e.g. Giroud and Podolski or Arteta and Flamini) are not out at the same time then we will do ok.
The most important thing is Wenger being smart with squad rotation and not burning players out by playing them in pointless games and not making subs when we are cruising to victory.
One game at a time and we'll see where we are at the turn of the year. Ideally we should look to get a striker in during the Jan window but if not then as long as we dont get horrendous bad luck with injurues we could be ok.

Spurs' build up play continues to be dull as fuck. Makes our clank look majestic. Sure they'll get a pen at some point though. COYS
Oh and Soldado doesn't fit into this team at all.

My voodoo doll is working a treat. No one should have mocked us when we signed NegreGod. People exclaimed he wasn't good enough and we should have gone for Soldado.

I don't think there is that much hype around Arsenal. It seems to be coming more from non-Arsenal fans.
I think we have the best 11 in the league and that they are good enough to win the league, but squad depth is an issue and I am not expect more than a QF appearance in the CL/FA cup.

Gooners really have to start putting an asterisk next to Diaby on their list of injured players. He's a bonus player, you've built your squad on the assumption that he won't be available

Shit I had completely forgotten Diaby was at the club, had hoped we had left him on the curb after his latest injury.

People laughed at me when I said Pogba will be like the new Zidane a couple of years back. Who's laughing now?
Me. I'm laughing. That's why there are tears down my face.

I always love that people say the next Maradona, the next Zidane, the (insert country) Messi.
But nobody says the next Totti, because everyone knows that nobody can play like Totti does. he is a one of a kind that no one can equal

But for the 5 games a year he's available he's a beast.
I'm sure Wengers injecting him with whatever Ramsey is on so that when he comes back he can go toe to toe with Yaya and beat him.
Plus i'd rather have the option of having a dynamic player like Diaby available than not.
Diaby... Always in our thoughts, prayers and dreams.
Kaká, or Young?

I'll slap your shit
Gonna be nice watching Man Utd vs Arsenal next weekend, truly not giving a shit what the result is. Just hope its a good game. That'll change if we fuck it up against Fulham, in which case I'll be slowly swinging from a light fixture.

Someone good will take him if he'll agree to a pay-as-you-play contract. If not, French midtable it is
His contract will expire before then.
Southampton!
I thought about it, but I want a slightly bigger challenge, wanna start in maybe League 2 or the Championship.

United

Starting as a prem club is so boring it makes my head hurt.
Pompey, bradford, derby, Sheffield united or leyton orient. Take your pick.

Nooooo, Ras Della Fossa is going on strike, won't be watching another Milan match until Allegri is fired. (( That was a brilliant anti-Aciuga / El Shaarawy rant yesterday. I'll miss him.

16 straight years, my arse. You got decisions going for you when you were flying high winning the league. Otherwise known in Goober-speak as bribing the ref.

Rubbish anyway. We're not selling him to anyone in January, let alone Arsenal, unless we somehow get Costa or someone. And if you think that's happening, you're as moronic as this Geoff fellow
