Henry truly loves Wenger - nice to see the respect from ex players

Radio were chatting on Friday about Wenger and how well he has done on such a tight budget. They highlighted he has made mistakes and surprised he didn't complete a big out field signing ( we all agree there ) but what a manager and what achievements and future he has given the club. For us and him - I truly hope we win the league as he deserves it so much as do the fantastic fans who spend their hard earned cash and time following our great club

Well done today boys! Everyone was waiting for us to fall but we got a great result in a difficult place!

Onwards and upwards - learn from today as we needed a stronger first half. Fantastic!

Good post SY4.

Let's give Ox, Joel, Arteta and Gibbs a run in mid week

Ox needs a run as he looks terrible - runs over the ball, miss passes etc. Think he would benefit from 90 minutes as we will need him later in the season - same for Arteta

Let's rest Ozil and Sanchez.

Let's go and try and win it 3 -4 points of Bayern and we can qualify we have gone over to them and beat them. Let's keep the momentum going. How much benefit in the grand scheme of things do you think we will get from resting a few players. My opinion is try and win every single game we play we get a win and a draw and in our wildest dreams get two wins against Bayern can you imagine the boost that would give us .

Agree2 Disagree0

17 Oct 2015 20:14:54
We will definitely play our strongest side against Bayern and try to get through the group for the money up for grabs if nothing else.
I'm looking forward to two Arsenal v Bayern Munich games where Bayern are at full throttle for 180 minutes, these 2 games will say far more about how far we've come than any games against Zargreb or Olympiacos ever could.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Oct 2015 20:17:14
Can't see how getting stuffed out of sight by Bayern playing squad players would be very good for the team in any way- if we get a result against them it will really get the adrenalin pumping - we might even get a few more pundits being respectful.

Give every game our best shot (apart from the okey cokey cup)

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Oct 2015 20:31:47
I'm 50/50 on this one.
We shouldn't be afraid of anybody, but back to back games against Bayern is a daunting prospect, plus in Europe we always seem to hit the self destruct button.
A win and a draw is minimum requirement over the 2 games. Want it, just can't see it.

We go all guns blazing over 2 games, get 2 decent results and we are back on track and confidence is sky high.

But, if things don't do according to plan and we could be on a downward spiral.
But, play a 'weakened' team, get knocked out, concentrate on league and win it, and our poor CL campaign will be forgotten about.
It's a toughie, but we have to take each game as it comes, play our best 11 against Bayern and nick 3 points and get back on track.

Dags, glad to see that you have posted again, you and many of the regular posters are the reason I come to this site every day. Keep telling those awful jokes! : )

Pleasure Number14 and thank you, and keep posting, you too are a good poster.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Oct 2015 21:06:29
Ah for the times of old where we qualified with games to spare then rested players!
Sorry but for me it's a time to go for it no matter the odss against, a win and a draw could do us but its not beyond the realms of possibility to get 2 wins.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Oct 2015 21:56:27
I saw a win today. I can see a draw at best midweek. Head says Bayern win. But after that wins against Everton, Sheffield Wednesday and Swansea.

Bayern are a train on form and it will be one hell of a challenge. No robben though so there is hope.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Oct 2015 22:17:39
We play our best team, we go for the win what ever. Why the hell should we give bayern a free go. What a defeatist attitude. i'm expecting a win a strong team and a performance.

Agree0 Disagree0

Robben is on a busmans' holiday, skydiving .

Robben is my Kevin De Bruyne Derby.

Glad he's out.

{Ed025's Note - nice to hear from you drags mate..

17 Oct 2015 23:00:37
You see his pass for sterlings goal dags immense. Bony was impressive and sterling playing number 10 gets a hatrick. Mad times.

I hope we beat Bayern I just can't see it.

Lol Number14, made me laugh.

17 Oct 2015 23:52:30
Thank you Ed, you can't keep a good man down :-)
I did post on Toffee page earlier, saying how sorry I was on hearing the news of Howard Kendall.
Grew up in the eighties and always admired him and the Everton team he built.
Doesn't matter what colour shirt you wear, he was a manager every footy fan respected. True Blue Legend. RIP.

Derby, I did mate. Very impressive.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - cheers dags..

Very good 2nd half performance.
Am I allowed to say that?
Ps, thanks Growbun.

No worries dags for a second I thought that the next time we heard from you your name would be gaganham dunner, think you should change it to go with your gags lol.

Top man Dags, no poster is more highly thought of than you mate.
Keep your chin up you've absolutely nothing to prove to anyone mate.

Good shout Growbun.
Cheers G62, appreciate that. But, its all good, Ed001 and I are still mates.

Just banter after all :-)

Like I said top man.

17 Oct 2015 19:08:57
Since the start of the season I have been really impressed with le coqs passing it was not his strongest point, I mean he used the safe ball before and now some lovely cross field passes and some lovely through balls . You could start to make a case for him been the best in this country in his position if he has a full season to the standard he is playing.

I was one of his doubters in the summer because I thought he just did a decent job but he's improving offensively and becoming a real player.

You could, it wouldn't be true but u could :)

His passing is amazing at the min. Impressed big time.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Oct 2015 19:40:59
I think when he came back from Charlton to be our desperately needed DM he just concentrated on trying to keep his place and earn a new contract.
Now he's the second name Arsene puts on the team sheet after Sanchez and he's growing in confidence and stature more and more each week and showing the attacking side of his game which was always there but now he's doing it as the premier leagues undisputed top DM.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Oct 2015 19:50:45
If he performs to the standard he is playing it's a no brainer, ifs buts and maybes of course., CTR I'm not getting into it with you.

P. s good response at goodison thought it would have been a hard one . It's all shaping well, still city and Chelsea for the first time to go but I think it will be by games like that we can steal a march on you . Hopefully city have their shockers and keep it interesting.

How the guy is not in the french squad is beyond me, their manager must be an idiot.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Oct 2015 18:22:57
So lazy useless Ozil covers more ground per 90 mins than just about everyone in our squad including Sanchez and creates a chance every 19 minutes for us.
We should sell the useless lazy player!

17 Oct 2015 18:31:07
Central players run more. Sanchez works harder no doubt about it. Ozil also runs to take corners and freekicks lol.

Agree1 Disagree3

17 Oct 2015 18:56:30
Derby - you always find a way to put him down

Guess two assists today so far sucks also

Agree1 Disagree0

17 Oct 2015 19:00:32
Watford have been good and very hard to break down. And we are doing well to get two let's not be having daft little quibbles and doing the whole my dads harder than yours bullshit.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Oct 2015 19:38:07
I missed the 3rd goal decent assist? I saw the giroud assist not sure on the other. He did well today we are playing very well. Hope we go out and attack Bayern with pace.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Oct 2015 21:09:42
Derby, good run and assist by Bellerin, who was excellent today.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Oct 2015 21:12:22
Runs for freekicks and corners, class response that!

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Oct 2015 21:54:31
Bellerin is a gem mate. If you have an excellent player who also has pace its a huge advantage.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Oct 2015 17:22:31
Who is Matt Macey and why isn't he starting?

Not being funny but with the depth of the squad - do all the internationals have to start?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

17 Oct 2015 18:03:49
A youth goalkeeper.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Oct 2015 18:12:15
Yes, because our first 14 are excellent, after that . not so.

And looking at the first 30 minutes we need all our all stars.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Oct 2015 17:05:09
The two Manchester clubs pick up 3 points UTD with a superb away win at Everton

Watford 0 Arsenal 2 IMO.

Maybe not.

Disappointed not to see Gabriel in the squad today? Anyone seen why? Injury or just needs a rest?

Believable0 Unbelievable1

17 Oct 2015 17:05:44
Did he travel to Brazil during the international break? Might be why at a guess. if
I know Sanchez had a long haul trip too but he's Sanchez and only sleeps one hour every 9 weeks plus it makes life easier for Arsene not having to make a chioce between him and Mertesacker I guess.

Agree1 Disagree1

17 Oct 2015 17:21:26
Suspended from the Chelsea game - didn't get off the pitch in an orderly manner.

Agree0 Disagree1

17 Oct 2015 18:09:29
That suspension has been served . I believe.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Oct 2015 20:22:48
According to radio/tv he has had a small operation?
(had one of Costas nails removerd from hhis face possibly?

18 Oct 2015 06:19:04
Suspended I guess, he played against Tottenham n utd after the Chelsea game.

Start again

I think its too early to say if Sherwood is a good or bad manager . He kept Villa up last season for sure, but was that the result of a new manager coming in and giving the club a lift? He is struggling at the moment but he is in the infancy of his manergerial career, maybe he should do what Teddy has done and start in the lower leagues?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

17 Oct 2015 10:48:44
Sherwood will prove to be rubbish over the long term because as has been pointed out, he's just not that bright. Compare him to Eddie Howe who is also learning the game but certainly has something about him. A future Arsenal manager? Far too early to say but understated intelligence is something we went for 19 years ago.

Either way, I don't think Dags should be nursing a bruised rectum this morning for having a different view. But I also said before the season started that Wenger will have his day and Mourinho will get his comeuppance such is the natural order if things. This might be cosmic compensation for all those jokes.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Oct 2015 11:36:43
If you take over a club where the relationship between team and its ex manager wasn't great its not too difficult to be the players mate and to turn things around short term and that's what nice but Tim has done at both Vila and spuds.
He will take Villa down this season simply because the feel good factor had already disappeared by the end of last season and now he's out of his depth IMO.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Oct 2015 17:02:55
He won't G62

They will have sacked him before Xmas.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Oct 2015 08:50:53
Anyone attending dags funeral. Just read that Eds001 killed him last night. If it isn't a match day me and Kevin will be attending. Dags was a good man. There will be rubbish comedians performing crap jokes. Its what he would of wanted.

Believable2 Unbelievable2

17 Oct 2015 10:09:50
I really hope not Derby . Dags is this sites top feature and is an absolute diamond guy. I read through the feed and I have to say it was very draconian of ed01. Even though I agreed on the overall point with ed on sherwood. But everyone knows dags on here an he never rears up or shows his teeth and he is banter personified . The nasty edge to some of ed01's replays was something I would expect from ed02!

Chin up dags me old fruit you just have to remember not to take on the Eds they are very very important people.

Agree1 Disagree0

17 Oct 2015 11:48:44
To be fair 28 you can have a difference of opinion with Ed025 without it becoming nasty or him using his Ed power to win the debate by default, but on the whole I agree just don't get into a fight you can't possibly win whether your right or wrong.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Oct 2015 12:19:22
Yeah that's why 25 is a firm favourite but you tend to find that the toffee boys are a lot more laid back compared to the more uptight dreamers across town.

Agree1 Disagree0

17 Oct 2015 12:38:13
Don't go speaking out against the dictatorship chaps.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - its not a dictatorship UG its a difference of opinion mate...and if you dont agree your banned.. :)

17 Oct 2015 12:48:05
No problem Ed,

Agree1 Disagree0

17 Oct 2015 12:53:09
For me mate things should never get personally insulting or resort to the personal degradation of anyone be it poster or Ed, Banter is great and occasionally we can all over step the mark and no one should be above an apology when they do it.
This is a fantastic free to use site the only criticism I'd have is that sometimes certain Eds say and use language to say things to us that we would be banned if we said or used to them.
Hey it's a small price to pay for use of the site and the best thing for us all is not to get to involved in no win debates even when sometimes I know its difficult not to, maybe it's just best to take a break from the site which I hope is all the Dagala is doing because as you say he's a top poster and man.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Oct 2015 13:08:22
He's probably tried to bite back and got himself banned of the site? Can Eds confirm that dags is still allowed to post? Or does he have to come back as gaganam dunner?

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - he has not been banned.}

17 Oct 2015 13:43:49
Ah good news ed. without him I wouldn't have any crap jokes to tell my missus and make her shake her head anymore.
