Imagine Mesut Ozil had signed for city utd chavs Everton or Liverpool and would he be the figure of jokes or jealousy?
Breaks your heart doesn't it

Can't wait for Theo to come back.

For me, he is our best player and has the most impact.

Without him, our play is too slow, too pedestrianised and too predictable.

We need to attack with more speed. At the moment we pass, pass, pass and than pass even more, giving the opposition time to get back and defend.

Years ago we were famed for our lightning quick breaks.
Do you remember when the opposition had a corner? 5/6/7 seconds later the ball was in the back of their net, courtesy of Thierry, Freddie, Robert, Denis or Patrick.

We need to bring back that pace, that speed, the fast one touch passage of play, something we don't do anymore.

With Theo back, he should bring out the best in Deadly Dan and Sanchez.

Hurry back Theo, we desperately need you.

Don't think he's our best player. But cetinally our most valuable. If that makes sense.

Completely agree Dag's, with that front 3, teams will start to genuinely be afraid to play us.

Best player??

Og Dags :(

Definitely Sheeny mate.

When he is on form, he is our most influential and game changing player.

Pretty sure Lord Bendtner is our best player. O wait.

Often our most wasteful player Dags.

Our best and most impactful will prove to be Sanchez. No doubt.
Already paid his fee off with the goal for CL qualification

If he has anything to think about, like if there's some intricate passing around the box or something he's shocking. But when it's something he doesn't need to think about (there's a word for it, but as sometimes happens, you just forget a word for no apparent reason when you actually use it regularly), he can be pretty devastating. I like him is a player. He can be frustrating, but when he's on fire he's really on fire.

A nice early prediction for tomorrow

Villa 2 Arsenal 2

Yet another point for us, can't see a clean sheet

{Ed025's Note - the villa bubble will burst BG....0-2 for me mate..

I concur Mr Ed, 0 2 for me too mate.

Got a sneaky feeling we are going to turn on the style tomorrow, everybody is going to play well, everything will click into place and we will turn a corner.

0-1 lol.

I think we'll win quite convincingly. Villa due a slip up, were due a result.

The optimist in me is going 1-2 Welbeck to score 1st after weathering some fast counter attacks from Villa

0-3 for me guys!

20 Sep 2014 13:14:12
Just want 3 points. Even if it's by forfeit!

Fellow fans. Grumbling and complaining about the team mid week is fine because everyone is entitled to an opinion. But on match-days, let's all get behind the team and sing them on and spur(pun unintended) them forward. Let's never attack a player during the match, let's never boo one of our own when the game is own. We have some players who are still to hit the expected Gunners form. If we sing and cheer their names, the confidence will only help them get better. Ozil, Ramsey, Welbeck need a boost of confidence. Who better to give it to them than he 13th player(us)? I am not asking for blind faith, but unity and common purpose in the face of adversity!

Am no longer a believer in Wenger, but I do believe in Arsenal. Who wants a win tomorrow? I know I do!

COYG! Let's get behind the team every match

Actually meant the 12th player lol

19 Sep 2014 15:19:56
Absolutely Rue,

Booing one of your own is disgusting.

I think we're always the 12th man Rue its just who's that differs, when all is well and we're on top we are our 12th man, but when were needed by the team the most when we're struggling our silence becomes the oppositions 12th man

You don't understand puns

We all do that anyway. it's wenger were all mad at not so much the players

Absolutely agree mate. I've been one of the moaners, I'm far from happy, but no matter who is playing badly, when it comes to match day, I'll be cheering them all on.

Just read big Ron Vlaar is a doubt for our game against Villa. That's a nice bit of positive news, they'll miss him if he can't play. Benteke is back in training but won't be risked, again another bonus for us.

Hopefully Villa feel the full force of the Dortmund backlash and we give them a right good thrashing. It's been awhile since we've done that. I can't actually remember the last team we beat by 3 goals or more

Man city last month, 3-0.

In actual competition

19 Sep 2014 15:17:10
Last decent result I remember was when we played Hull in the league just before Cup Final.

3-0 away, end of April I think.

Also, 3-0 home to Newcastle near end of season.

Agree Ulster. Remember the days of Henry? I remember scores of 6 and 7 against Middlesborough. Scores of 3 nil against Man U. Sigh!

Ask and you shall receive boys eh? I can't remember the last time I got laid by Megan Fox

I can't believe people are booing Ozil whatever is going non in their minds?
What do they possibly hope to achieve by it, imagine paying all that money to not support the team.
It takes all sorts I guess but people who boo our players especially as individuals are a total embarrassment to the club and deserve nothing but Thursday night football.
This needs to be stamped on by fellow fans as few top premier league teams fans boo their own players

It is such a shame and unfortunatly we have recent history of this with Gervinho. He got a lot of stick from fans and his form dropped even more. He gets sold and look at him now?

Yes it is sad, and I really don't think we are booing him, but there is a lot of negativity from the fans and the press, which is reflecting. This isn't the same as Eboue or Gervinho, becasue we all know ozil is class. And get over playing him in his best position, this isn't your job its the managers

You wouldn't fancy having these people as friends would you Rocky?
Imagine the first time you were skint, they'd run up loads of debt in your name or something.
With home fans like these who needs away fans!

The hood.

Did you see Gervinho for Roma in the week? That's what you get when you have fans with you not against you. On current form Gervinho makes Ozil look like a conference player. At their peak yes Ozil is a better player but the point I was making is that when fans are with you performances improve. When fans are negative the players sense it, try too hard and generally make lots of errors.

Yup as I said I agree with the fans not getting behind thier own players, and that is exactly what has happened on this site. We all saw Gervinho play and beleive me, a utd friend of mine has even laughed his a**e of when he saw him play. He needs more than a football pitch to play. In the case of Ozil no one would dare laugh from the other team, because he oozes class, they scored 5, let's see how he comes up against Kompany latter, we will know then.
