Arsenal Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2011/2012

Why am I getting a weird feeling that RvP is gonna be on the bench today? Hearing Wenger say he's goin to rotate, would he be silly enough to rest the only striker he trusts?

Have this feeling myself, had a dream last night that Park started, we played exceptionally well though back to the old Arsenal great passing, the game ended 2 nil to the Arsenal, heres hoping.

I'd Rather play him hopefully bag at least a two goal lead by 60th min then sub him off! Don't want another Stoke-esq situation where we are dependent on RVP coming off the bench to rescue us. (Also he is in my FF team

)

what's the story with the fans protest today? any thoughts. surprised it's not been mentioned here.

their going to put black bin liners over the empty seats to highlight falling attendance's due to poor form or something like that

it's also the lowest position we've been this late in a season under wenger

Three games out of four this season, one yellow, no reds and no goals assuming this is right:

There are match reports linked in the results section, but they are in Spanish(?) so I cant read it. If you are REALLY interested in him you can translate them with something or other

At least he is starting. Maybe he'll come back a decent player. Must have been some reason he was so highly rated.

Cson -that's a great line Hollywood prices for Bollywood quality!! Brill. I agree with everything in your post too

He'll start until Gervinho's back. Pace is dangerous. Even if he can't utilise it, it'll create space.

From what I can gather the whole protest thing was started by a group known as redaction on twitter which was discovered last night was a Pakistani United fan.

Are you fcuking serious? I'm just passing on the facts of the way it was told on Twitter by arseblog etc if he had been Irish I would have said Irish United fan aswell don't be so sensitive.

Was just looking at our spending from the summer and remembered the complaints from a lot of people about Chamberlain. I think we need to give Wenger a lot of credit for that one. A lot of people were saying stuff like Chamberlain is one for the future, he should have signed someone for now. Looks like he got a two for one!

Wenger is obviously not without fault, but he can clearly still spot talent. Chamberlain this season, Koscielny last season etc.

a hoax story then, it got a good bit of coverage on various sites & wenger was even asked about it at his PC this week, as i was saying earlier i was a bit surprised it wasn't mentioned(endorsed :pac:) on the thread. The commentators mentioned it as well on the FSS channel i'm watching today but no sign of any bags

Yeh it was a hoax I think the Mirror picked up on it first and from there it spread like wildfire, I think one thing all Arsenal fans have in common at this stage is that no one want to see Wenger gone mid season regardless so protesting whilst the players are on the pitch is never going to do any good.

Have to say im delighted with todays result great performances all round now if we can perform like that week in week out id be one happy camper. Heres hoping this is a little kick start to get us going. Does anyone think dropping Ramsey may have been a key factor? I do like him as a player but hes been in poor form of late and had a lot of games for a player so young and after such a serious injury.

Re Ramsey I don't think it was that big an impact but the midfield that played today is better balanced.

Arteta is smashing 4 us really growing into the team I knew he was very good at Everton but now I've seen week in week out I think ge was even more underrated there!

I'm not sure about that, based on some of what I've seen here and on other websites I reckon there's quite a few who want him gone asap.

A good day today, we should all be happy. But we should all know by now that one swallow most certainly does not make a summer when it comes to Arsenal. A bit harsh on Ramsey too! Today had more to do with Blackburn being terrible than it did with the team selection.

Fuzzy_Dunlop · 04-02-2012 03:10PM

Coquelin was good today again. Hope to see him get some time in midfield when we have our full backs up and running again.

Ardennes1944 · 04-02-2012 03:12PM

Just home from work and i didnt know the score, saw 7-1 on SSN and truly thought it was the ladies team!

Pierce_1991 · 04-02-2012 03:14PM

Arsenal 7 (SEVEN) - 1 Blackburn

Love it
