Anyone notice the U21 Premier league table. Spurs top on 19 points and we are second bottom on 7. What does that say about our youth policy? Not great.

Jonathan

Think you will find 2nd from bottom is not the worst, so kinda like winning a trophy

1404 {Ed027's Note - U21 is just a reserve league, you should look at the Next Gen and U18 league, to make statements about youth

Means nothing, I mean if we had a good youth squad would most of you look forward to any of them playing in our first team? I think not because all I see is if it's not a so called expensive big name then the now famous moan crops up

Crap have two players who can play U21 making the first team this year. Arsenal have six bad youth policy?

How was that me making statements about youth? the only statement i've ever made about youths is to our local police woman about what little ******* they are round my way

Hi eds.
A bit off the arsenal subject.

Any whispers of players heading To Bayern Munich to team up with Guardiola?
Was there any genuine interest from us for Luis Gustavo?

Thanks {Ed027's Note - Guardiola wants a new striker, likes of Suarez, Cavani all mooted, a new CB is on the list, don't know any names, though Hummels could happen, as he is from there, in terms of players leaving Van Buyten, Pizzaro, Tymoshuck are all definately on their way, everyone elses future is uncertain

Wenger is a genius. He saw a worrying trend that our best players were being taken from us so he devised a genius strategy - develop such mediocre players that top teams will stop poaching them. It seems to be working as no one seems to want to buy most of players
Bendy
Arshavin
Denilson
Squid
.

Jack is the only one they might want :p

In Wenger we trust!

Ash, I've read a few of your posts, and i'm not sure what you feel should be our end goal?

Regardless of how you feel of Arsene, I find it unnecessary to critique if one cannot propose a solution.

At the end of it all Arsene has been a fantastic ambassador for our club.

His place at this time can be questioned but to do so on such an obvious level is not fair to such if not the greatest Gooner!

A bit of a worry for me that a southern based Manchester United armchair supporter is being given the top job at the FA. Greg Dyke. Wont expect any bias from an ex tv man. Yeah right. The tv love man utd. The self proclaimed biggest club in the world (even though they went 27 years without winning the title and were relegated in 1975)will surely benifit from him at the helm. and before anyone jumps in with a comment. I don't for one moment think Arsenal are bigger than united. Their record over the last 20 years has been second to none. km.

Whenever I read Gunners4Life's opening line of "Greetings and salutations", a picture of Terry Thomas, one of our greatest actors, springs to mind.

His posts, whether you agree with them or not, are the most articulate on here. I always have a dictionary to hand to look up some of the words he uses.

So as this is a banter site (and international weekend) we have time to digress.

How about some suggestions as to who some of the posters on here remind you of.

Let's make it funny and not a slagging match.

Bones

Stoner reminds me of the mad geezer standing on the corner in his slippers shouting at imaginary people :-)

AJH

Greetings and Salutations Bones,

Much appreciated mate. I agree there are some fantastic posters on our site!

Cheers for the acknowledgement!

Gunners4Life, In AW we trust!

Personally, whilst appreciating the aforementioned Gunners4Life, I am most often delighted by the posts of the one who signs off as CECEGUaW. He appears at once knowledgable, insightful, erudite and an all-round top-hole Gooner. Let us hope we see more of his output on this splendid site.

Malaga and Champagne Charlie both remind me of Swiss Toni from The Fast Show but that's not really surprising as they are the same person (and I put 'person', not the Eds :))

Have you guys noticed that almost evey player of big interest to Arsenal in a transfer window, has signed for Arsenal in the future transfer windows? Chamakh, Mertesacker, Poldi, Vermalen, Arshavin and so on. I will believe that Fernando Amorebieta is a subject of transfere to us in the summer. An Ass-Kicker which would scare the sh*t out of any attacker. H's I Mertesacker on steroids and adrenalin.
Persian Gooner

Except the players who turn out to be good: hazard, mata, yaya etc

Lets get behind AW as he wants to sort his house out:

"According to the Daily Telegraph, Wenger ordered his defensive players to take part in extra defensive drills following the north London derby defeat. As most will know by now, the manager like to run possession-based group sessions.

But the Telegraph point out it was Wenger - not Steve Bould, not Neil Banfield, not Boro Primorac - who requested the defensive players take part in extra sessions and took charge of the routines himself, aided by his assistant manager and two first team coaches.

Whatever has happened on the training pitches at London Colney has obviously worked. Two clean sheets cannot be grumbled at. And long may it continue. "

i see the site is gone to sh!t since ed002 left.

football was suppose to be about fun.

malaga gooner

Haha website gangsters be disrespecting lol, just wandering if i'm on arsenal-rumours for kids? go play gta and fifa or whatever it is these days.

We will have a chance to see Jovetic as he is going to play for Montenegro against England on tuesday. Apparently they are going to have the pitch in very poor condition and put a lot of water on it. Also they are supposed to be a very physical team so I hope walcott and chamberlain will be ok.

RVP was bought to give fergie instance sucess over the next few years before he retires.

I think arsenal will do the same in an attempt to keep wenger. Wenger will do it to prove he is a top manager.

One way or another arsenal do not win anything, wenger when his contract ends will walk away.

Arsenal only win trophies with 4-4-2. To win with this way u need a brilliant defensive line (hence wenger winning so many trophies early). His constant mistake is not to get this fixed each year and instead employing 4-5-1 as he has no faith in his defence.

Nacho is a good start for the injury prone gibbs. let's hope he can do this for the others in defence

Certainly I think there is a big summer clearout. let's hope he can get rid of the likes of bentdner/denilison/chamak/sagna (i like him but think he is past it) etc

We must not forget that Wenger is much younger than Ferguson. I think he have more to give, I hope too for good summer and then good season, but after that I also hope that he will continue his contract with the club!

BGGGOONER

No faith in his defence or his goal keeper, RVP to Manchester United for short term success, Cech to Arsenal for short term success, build a team from the back, get that right and then the atacking players can flourish. Southen Red.
