Hi guys long time AFC supporter and fan of this forum. Just wanted to say Ozil comes in for some stick however he ain't the type of player that sets games alight. He likes to be in the background pulling the strings and making space for others to finish. I'm relishing the sight of Sanchez latching onto a sublime through ball or Walcott picking up a flick and sprinting to score. Really think if we get a true DM to sit in front of the back four then we will/could win the premier league. All the best and ill post again soon.

13 Jul 2014 23:13:57
I think Ozil is world class but he does need world class players around him.

Strange.

14 Jul 2014 01:12:11
and needs to man up, but your right he needs the support.

Germany have been awesome though.

14 Jul 2014 12:09:55
A world class playmaker always need world class players around him to make the right runs and finish the opportunities he gives them.

Agree Tonygooner. Ozil plays his role very well. His role is to provide chances for the strikers and he does just that.

13 Jul 2014 22:47:24
Wow, three World Cup winners, maybe four, two World class players, maybe another on the way, a world class Stadium, World Class manager.

Add to that Ramsey, The Ox, Walcott, Cazorla, Koscielny, Wilshere, Gibbs, Gnabry, Giroud, Szczesny, Campbell and more.

Next season is going to be a wonderful ride. Can't wait. :-)

Well done to Mert, Ozil and Podolski. Brilliant.

13 Jul 2014 22:55:11
Good post Jenjen.

13 Jul 2014 22:58:39
Seconded, well said!

Podolski's son was celebrating on the pitch with his dad before half the subs got there , haha!

13 Jul 2014 21:03:50
The only good thing about the World Cup ending tonight is that I might finally stop singing "Brazil, braaziiiiiiilllll. " Every second of every day!

Also, anyone else making happy faces 24/7 and pinching themselves that we've signed Alexis Sanchez.

He will rip it up in the Premier League this coming season!

I'm with you on that tune DR Green, its annoyingly adictive and I can't help making up my own silly lyrics to it either, which trust me makes it worse still

13 Jul 2014 21:41:03
Greeny,

The other day, Mrs Dag's said

"Will you stop singing that bloody song".

13 Jul 2014 20:27:04
If you can't watch WC Final in the stadium, is there anything better than watching it on a giant screen on Copacabana Beach?

Priceless.

It must be amazing Dags.

Sunshine, fellow fans, amazing beaches and some stunning women.

Plus you might get a chance to play Arsene at beach football!

13 Jul 2014 19:06:22
I certainly hope Arsenal do not intend to sign Luis Gustavo. He is weak and gets bullied off the ball to easily. He is not the midfield General we are after. Cannot see what he will really add to us

If we really were after him last season, we dodged a bullet.

I must admit I hadn't watched him much at Bayern, so when we were linked with him, I asked a few Bundesliga fans at work their opinions and they all said he would be great for us, so I was excited!

But watching him at this WC, he just seems lightweight and lacklustre!

14 Jul 2014 20:06:49
Other that Neymar and Silva he was there standout player D_

13 Jul 2014 18:23:34
Just watched the BT ad, get the feck over it lads. Perfectly good ad for the PL in my opinion.

Don't they have CL as well as PL and FA cup games next season?
Its going to be hard to not use them at some point.
Pay monthly and use it on a as and when needed basis, personally if their not showing Arsenal games I've very little interest in it and can get the gist of what others are doing on motd

It's not that big a deal, they were trying to advertise the fact they show 'unbelievable football' like us losing 5-1.

I took it as a compliment really, I too found it unbelievable that we lost 5-1 to that lot.

Besides, Alexis and the FA cup. I can love with a bit of stick!

13 Jul 2014 17:21:27
Hi everyone please let's respect the Eds and what they do for free.
I'm not asking everyone to agree with them at all times but certainly to respect them and their efforts for us at all times.
I know we all post things in all innocents totally unaware that others have asked the same question maybe 10 or more times but it's got be mind blowing keep being expected to repeat yourself time after time.
Before you sound off at an Ed put yourself in his shoes? At least that way even if you can't see his point you have new shoes :-)

13 Jul 2014 19:21:32
Totally agree G62.

Read post's before you post to see if has already been asked and answered.

13 Jul 2014 16:22:15
It's a bit tetchy on here today, including some of the Eds. Respect goes both ways, I'll say no more.

Anyone would think signing Sanchez last week, Debuchy Monday plus still in the market would make us a bit cheerier:)

After the last three transfer windows - Fabregas, Nasri, RVP, etc, we should be enjoying every minute now Wenger has opened the wallet finally. Nothing to do this window except enjoy.

If Khedira comes as some are saying after the final, we have a real shot at the title, especially as the physio's have been changed from last year.

No injuries last year, we nearly had it.

{Ed001's Note - so you think we should show respect to abusive arseholes who send in repeated questions, over and over again, without ever bothering to read the answers? Perhaps they should respect other users and read through the posts first, and show us some respect as we aren't here to be an answer service. We are editors, not answer machines. If people aren't happy with a site they get for nothing, then they are quite welcome to go elsewhere.}

I don't think anyone who abuses people should have the post posted. As for repeated questions, wouldn't an option be not to reply to a question that's already been answered? I'm not sure about the rest of people, I'm someone who comes here for a few laughs and to see what Arsenal fans are thinking of on the incoming and potential transfers, and to get some useful insider bits of info as to what may happen.

If people are upsetting the ed's, then they should be warned. But asking a question someone's asked before is just a harmless mistake, nothing more.

Surely we are all on the same side? :)

As editors do you not pick which 'abusive persons' posts are actually posted?

Ed001, I very much agree with you and I got a bit slated for once referring to this ( bloody enjoyable ) site as being more EDs question time rather than a genuine rumour exchange. Love the site, love the banter but, just feel there is a little too much frank language creeping in of late. This is not meant as some profound post, just bin in after you have read it.

13 Jul 2014 15:15:06
All the people saying there never going to renew the by sports bcocs it should us getting stuffed pmsl grow up ffs

13 Jul 2014 16:04:23
Apart from the fact people can freely decide what they want to do with their BT subscription I think personally BT are doing their bit for care in the community.

Liverpool have just made the Champions league with thanks to a player they no longer have.

They have decided to raid a team who finished 6 places below them for a couple of players.

They will not go far in the Champions League and they will really struggle to make the top 4 with an improving Everton likely to take their place, how painful that will be.

Let them enjoy another piece of their history. Bless. :-)

BT are also doing another AD which shows the 3-3 draw between Palace and 'Pool :)

13 Jul 2014 19:36:08
Nah Banbury, that was a video edited by an Arsenal supporter who was pissed off with the original BT advert showing Arsenal getting stuffed.

13 Jul 2014 10:49:18
I cancelled mine for the summer and will NOT be renewing; never seen anything so unprofessional, couldn't imagine Sky doing anything like that.

13 Jul 2014 10:08:37
Well Ladies and Gentlemen,
I haven't posted for quite a while, although I have been reading posts on here quite often.
Approximately 2-3 years ago I put a long post together about clubs being run like a business and the fact that they happened to be involved in football didn't detract from the fact that there was a balance sheet to deal with. I was derided (by some parties) as someone who didn't understand that it was all about success on the pitch, first and foremost. I then went on to try and explain to certain parties (the minority on here, you know who they were) that success does not mean longevity (Leeds Utd etc.), and a sound business model is paramount. Glory hunters are fickle, fans are not. You support who you have. I then went on to try and explain that once the debts were serviced or serviceable to a higher degree I believed that Wenger would start spending within the model. Again the anti-Wenger crew berated me.
This is not a gloat filled post (though it may come across as such), more an introduction to what I believed was happening behind the scenes at the time.
The two points I want to make are where are the naysayers now, and the current events prove to me that Wenger, a man with a degree in Economics, is not such a mug after all is he. I would love to see a few apologies from the supporters who voiced their vitriolic nonsense be man enough to write some supportive things to the club and in particular Wenger himself.
We are VERY lucky to have a manger like Wenger, yes he's highly paid (good value next to Luiz I'd say), but the foundations he has and is laying currently will be rock solid and 'hopefully' bring success to a club doing it the right way for many years to come.
One last thing, Phil Thompson, what a dingleberry.

Oh we all bow down to you. Very clever.

What an irritating post.

Conceited and self-absorbed are the two words that pop in to my head before any others.

Top post Chimney Sweep

As I said not meant to be a 'told you so post'. I was merely getting annoyed with the Wenger out crew acting like spoilt brats 2-3 years ago, when it was clear to see we didn't have the funds to compete at that point in time, so I fail to see why you should be irritated by it? I apologise if the tone of the language came across in the wrong manner to you, it was paraphasing what I had said before, but believe me it wasn't meant to sound big headed. It is hardly self absorbed when I suggested that Wenger and the team be cut a little slack; conceited, how? In that I am proud of the club and what they have achieved.
You have painted yourself as one of the parties I was eluding to in the past? No hard feelings Chimney.

No frog, I've never said Wenger should be sacked, and have never questioned his or the boards running of the club, simply as it was clear to see what they were trying to do.

And how was it conceited? Maybe you should read a definition of the word, and then read through your post. Vanity is a ridiculous thing; very difficult to see in your self.

What a person. Talking as if we'd won the treble and the Champions League. Had Wenger invested before we would have won the league. He is a very good manager but we are always lack the right player somehow.

13 Jul 2014 16:19:20
Think we need a dags comment drooling over Remy to calm this one down?

13 Jul 2014 18:00:11
Sounds like a classic 'raz' / metal gooner told you so post to me
I have missed 4 games at home in 8 years, pay a fortune for the privilege and think I am entitled to an opinion as are you I just don't shove it down people's throats kermit

13 Jul 2014 19:39:22
Remy Remy Remy Remy

lol

13 Jul 2014 09:38:27
Has anyone else seen the new advert for BT sport featuring arsenal and Liverpool?
I'm genuinely surprised they've done that, way to alienate a fairly large potential client base.
I certainly won't be giving them any of my money.
Perhaps their head of marketing is a Liverpool fan.

Their coverage last season was fairly poor, not as bad asectors itv in the world cup, but it doesn't really come close to sky.

I'm cancelling mine, was not happy with it

I was saw this the other day and thought how unprofessional it was. It does seem that there are a few in the media that are constantly on 'our' case. Darren Lewis spewing nonsense about Sanchez making the wrong choice, and don't get me started on Phil 'get a clue' Thompson. Both quite strong Liverpool supporters if I'm not mistaken! I have nothing wrong with Liverpool and think that they have a classy supporter base in general, but these boys don't half start to give people a bad reputation.
Phil 'in the no idea' Thompson, ha, what a chump. How's Sanchez settling in up there Phil?

Well we have got a larger fan base than you ;-)

I think our global fan-base is larger than yours.

Well before you bite my head off my post was meant as harmless banter

Larger fan base? Well, yes.larger as in more pie eaters! LOL!

Cammy out!

Show us the teeth marks reet

Reets initial reply is a joke people hence the :-), posted in the my dad's bigger than your dad vien joke.
Who's put the overdose of testosterone in the water today!
Good humoured well intended banter is worth a thousand insults slung back and forth

Oi reet, should be mindful of Suarez not us biting your head off. Although he practically already has

13 Jul 2014 09:17:48
The spurs scouting team have just landed in South Africa in readiness for the world cup to begin.

Brilliant mate haha

13 Jul 2014 16:21:35
Brilliant g62 :-)

13 Jul 2014 00:36:50
I was thinking this. same with Reus, we're favourites ahead of team such as Barca and United who have had serious interest in him all season!
Is there any chance of signing another player such as Reus, Draxler or Griezmann ed?
