As an Arsenal fan it gave me a great face lift from tonight's game against Ipswich but Arsenal did disappoint me in the First Leg. It's been five season's since Arsenal has won a trophy and I hope this season we will be seeing at least a two trophies. They do have a chance of winning the BPL but there a bit like England tbh, they can have a few great games then go all sloopy through out the season. Lets hope the Arsenal boys can keep up this great momentum. But not looking forward to the Champions League 1st 16 as we will be facing our enemy Barcalona...  Any thoughts? |

Yeah, I have one......what happened to Arsenal fans thinking this was the, and I quote, "Mickey Mouse cup"  ? Now, as a Spurs fan, it makes me smile knowing that this might be the only trophy that they can win now ;D |

The Arsenal trophy room needs a good spring cleaning for forthcoming trophies along the way  ... As you and other may have heard, Tottenham & West Ham United is bidding for the Olympic Stadium after the games... I'm sure it would be weird that Tottenham would be moving to East London!!! Wouldn't you? |

John, if we do win it, it's one more trophy than you this year ;D Me personally, I'd throw the youth team out against Barcelona, that's how much chance I think we have. We need to concentrate on ending Man Utd's unbeaten run (can't rely on Spurs for anything  ;D) and the FA Cup. Then have a clearout of certain players such as Denilson, Alumunia, Eboue, possibly Rosicky even as he don't score enough goals. Hopefully we get Shay Given from City, Chamberlein from Southampton and Samba, plus an extra defender. Rumour has it we are after one of Spurs' crocks  As for the battle of the Olympic Stadium, I've been appalled by both sides who have turned it into a childrens spat. If West Ham win it, it will boost them financially though they could still be in the Championship when it's ready. If Tottenham wins, we can wave them goodbye as they become Stratford Hotspurs. However, Crystal Palace do not like Tottenham's idea as they want to move into the Crystal Palace running track. |

Would that be Woodgate vjaska?? Take him, we got decent defenders ;D As for the Olympics, it's a joke. I think the only person who has spoken any sense through this whole debacle is Daniel Levy. The guy has just sat there and said, look, Stratford is a ready made option for building on, but we have to leave WHL. That is the only fact either side has actually mentioned. Saying that, it seems Leyton Orient are about to jump in and possibly block BOTH clubs from getting it. Seems there's an F.A rule that says about clubs moving into another clubs "area" and possibly causing trouble for them. Could get interesting, just a shame they didn't have that rule in 1919  ;D As for trophies, well, we've been to the new Wembley and won there. You're lot still have to win a final at that place ;D |

Im one of the few arsenal fans who care not too much about trophies and especially the carling cup. I just like seeing the way they play and especially Sami nasri has been exceptional this season. His goal against leeds was superb. Loved his link up play with fabregas which led to the own goal against birmingham. Of course, it would be nice for arsenal to finally win something this season. Perferbably the champions league as thats the one that wenger hasn't got yet. Right now, I rather man utd to lose a game before anything else. Imo, we don't really need shay given. Fabianski is good enough, judging by his last few games and especially against wolves. Alumina is decent also and I think he has been harshly critiscied for some of the goals he let in. The goal he let in last season against brimingham is one that springs to mind when the ball bounced off kevin philips head. What about the first game against liverpool when ngog scored? He got criticised for it If it was scored by torres then it would have been a world class finish but it wasn't because it was scored by ngog?! We could definately do with a defender though. I haven't heard much about chamberlain apart from hes from southampton. He similar to walcott I believe? As for the Olympic stadium, I expect it to go to west ham. I would be shocked if it went to tottenham. |

You're lot still have to win a final at that place ;D Decent defenders ;D King is due an injury soon and Gallas is due a tantrum  I'm just hoping they quickly make a decision so I can see whether we get North London to ourselves or not ;D As for Wembley, couldn't care less where we win any trophy, could be in Baghdad if they like ;D Apparently Chamberlein is slightly different as he plays in the middle. Alumunia isn't that good as he has made too many errors, one or two which have cost us trophies. Fabianski is decent but probably only as back up whereas Shay Given is an excellent keeper who is consistently good. Defender wise, Samba of Blackburn is a good choice as he is very physical and causes problems in both boxes. And Kerian Gibbs should be our 1st choice left back as compared to Clichy, he is solid. |

Yes, but as we all know Wegner doesn't like to splash out on big players. As for Fabregas being "worth £80million" that could make up for two Midfielders if he does changes his mind and leave but on the contrary that won't be happening this season. As from the grief Barcalona has been giving Arsenal over the summer. (Thats after if we sell Fabregas) We could buy Benzema from Real Madrid or Serigo Busquets/Xavi (Barcalona) But I dont get the idea of Adebayor going on loan to Real Madrid??? |

You'll never be a North London club!! ;D Tell you what, you lot go build a new stadium in Woolwich, where you should be, and we'll take over the Emirates Seriously though, I think Arsenal do need more stability at the back. Almunia is a idiot, just like our no1 in Gomes (does anyone else think he has the same features as a monkey??). The centre backs, when fit and playing together, are brilliant, even I have to admit that! It's your full backs that let you down. They leave your centre pairing exposed when they fail to track back far enough, plus your central midfield is strong physically. They're one hell of a machine attacking wise, but if you had a midfield like United's, which is dominant and physically strong, then they get overrun by them. Even Spurs have a stronger midfield, and that's something we've never had over Arsenal!! |

He does have quite a few decent games compared to Almunia. As for the full backs, Sagna has been our most consistent defender this season and has been outstanding all season whereas Clichy has been going backwards so much, that Gibbs looks ready to take over the left back spot. I haven't been impressed with our centre backs this year. We have looked dreadfully unstable without Vermalean, Squallaci has been poor, Kosceilny needs to be more consistent though Djourou has been improving as the season has progressed. The midfield ain't too bad at the moment with Nasri and Fabregas the two influential players, both playing brilliantly. Song has getting better all the time and he is becoming a midfield linchpin, hopefully he will be as good as Vieria. Diaby is a good midfielder though injury has hit him this year which is a big shame. And of course, Wilshere is emerging as a brilliant talent, no need to say anymore about him. I'm also hoping to see Ramsey return to the form he was in before injury, he was playing like a Welsh Fabregas ;D. As for United's midfield, I don't rate it. Giggs and Scholes are holding that midfield together with gaffer tape along with Fletcher, the rest of it is rubbish IMO. Luck is what put United where they are, I mean they were outplayed by Spurs for the whole match and escaped with a draw. The strikeforce as well is doing good this year. Van Persie and Chamakh are racking up goals while Arshavin has played his part at times. Walcott is getting better and better despite the tons of critisim he gets. Bendther is a decent back up - when he wants to be Wouldn't say Tottenham's midfield is better than ours but have to admit it is a very good one, especially with Bale in their |

Even Spurs have a stronger midfield, and that's something we've never had over Arsenal!! Im undecided about the comment you made about the midfielders. Tottenham midfield players I like include van der vaart, bale, modric and lennon. You also got jenas, huddlestone and palacios. Compare those to our midfield players of walcott, fabregas, nasri, wilshere and song. They are all having a great season. We also got denilson, rosicky and diaby. Im not convinced Clichy was great last season (or was it the season before ) but when he came back from injury he seems to have lost the edge. Hes improving but still makes costly mistakes. Im not sure about gibbs yet. What happened to traore? I thought he was decent and he had bags of pace. Gomes - the game he had against chelsea summed him up. The goal he let in was a shocker. He almost cost tottenham the game when he gave away that penalty but he saved the penalty and it was a top class save too. I also think of the goal he let in against manu when he put the ball down for nani to score. I never laughed so much ;D |

Don't get me started on that goal at Old Trafford!! Needless to say I was not happy Anyway, yeah you're midfield is amazingly skillful, no doubt about it. I just think it lacks the physical strength and I'm certain it will get tested against Barcelona. Wenger seems to like "small" players, but who knows what'll happen. As for us, our midfield is the best we've had since the 1980's!! It's fantastic!! Hopefully they can redeem themselves when we visit the San Siro......again ;D |

I was shocked to what Messi have done to our defence, he walked straight through during the second half until Theo Walcott scored a few... But I'm not looking forward to the match although I wouldn't mind having Real Madrid though. They've lost to Lyon... ;D |
