It's on espn for those who might be a little too wrecked to get there. Bad kick-off time and on telly? There goes our only chance of breaking the 25k barrier then. I'm guessing we can blame our friends at GMP for the kick off time and espn have picked it up after. I was thinking about it being a be...

But let's shake it up after 55, 60 mins when it's obvious nowt's happening. In the league this season that would be my one criticism of OC, leaves the subs a bit late in the day. Having said that, the Burnley game shows us that the 1st XI is obviously better than the 2nd XI. Normally taking a start...

With the suspensions we had and the need to rest players / not get any injuries it was good that we made some changes ahead of sunday's game and we had an opportunity to try out the Spanish lads. I wasn't there but it sounds like it cleared up some questions, such as: Why is Robinson playing ahead o...

However, the famed Coyle management style doesn't seem to be hitting the mark with Mr Klasnic
Whats happening with Klasnic? Is he fit?

:pray: Anybody else catch goals on sunday yesterday? Kammi begging Cappello to take another look at, and put SKD in the squad? Feckin' ace......... Didn't see that but I've heard a few pundits say that recently. From where I was sat SKD almost single-handedly got us a point against Birmingham. He c...

I had an AMAZING day today! First trip to the Emirates, lovely weather, good transport from where I live. I gotta say that Arsenal fans are spoilt. First half was pretty even. They had a lot of forrays down to our goal, but we had some too. 1-1 was fair at HT. Second half we didn't seem as bright an...

I'm trusting Coyle to know what he's doing more than me. The thing with some of these players is their workrate off the ball when playing away against top 6/7. Tracking back, tackling, putting a shift in. Petrov is probably much better than Taylor with the ball. It depends on tactics. Like others ha...

What was the side like away at West Ham? Same idea as the home games?

Would you take Petrov or leave him out due to him not getting stuck in enough?

35K a week? Jeez. Its good that the club are tying up players on contracts. But I hope come the January window that people aren't moaning when the inevitable "need to reduce the wage bill before we buy" statements are released. It's different having big earners on the pitch than it is on the bench/...

BIG increase in wages!

The only thing I demand is beautiful football!

If we make a late challenge at the other end of the pitch I probably won't see it but anything short of red cards and penalties for their fouls will be completely out of order.

So that's why Arsene doesn't like us!

That video cheered me up! I'm going to the Emirates so would love to see a performance like one of those! Debut for Moreno?

He did ok, but possibly out of position for the Bulgaria break before our second and definitely gave the ball away lazily at the end. If he doesn't get his second cap on Tuesday you'd think it would be down to these two things. The one where the Bulgaria player was on the line and knocked the ball ...

The point of this thread was to ascertain ,why the Reebok is so quiet.

Personally I think the club should stop worrying about attendance. Its done everything it possibly can. I think attention should now be on how to create the best atomosphere in the stadium with whatever number of fans turn up! Don't know whether they did it last season but this year they've started...
