ok guys, its speak from the head and not the heart time.
who genuinely thinks we can win the champions league?. Personally, I think its a bridge too far. I love the boys and the way we play but I just think there's something missing and I can't put my finger on it, although the finger of suspicion seems to point at our defence.
I just think we are something short in comparison to Barca, RM, borussia dortmund, PSG and above all, Bayern Munich. feel free to prove me wrong boys.

Hello mate.well I'm glad you said speak from the head so I will do just that.
I thought we were poor in a few places the other night and to be honest I thought Jack was awful he made more passes to them than to us. I said it months ago we are going to be tested big time in November and December I think we've had an easy ride so far our first real test the other night proved we need more quality players to come in we could have got complacent I hope this is a wake up call for Wenger and the board. To be brutally honest I can't see Jack lasting the season, I hate admitting it he's been limping around quite a lot lately. As for winning the CL
no not really we should have got our finger out in the summer transfer window and any top player we may bring in in January will be CL cup tied so there will be no hope there.i think we should just hope to get in the play offs and concentrate on the Premier League and FA Cup and Carling Cup.

Agree0 Disagree0

In order to win the CL we need:
1) A more mature keeper.
2) A 4th CB (a right-sided one)
3) Cover for Flamini
4) A left-sided player
5) A striker

We need to get our players fit & keep them fit. I still have enormous doubts in respect of the conditioning & rotation of the squad.

Agree0 Disagree0

No we won't win the CL this year DG we are a work in progress mate, next year may be a different story but for me it's CL Qf and top 2 PL finish this season that I see as a realistic excellent season.
I would be very happy with that as it would be our best year for ages and prove to us and all doubters we are real contenders again.

Agree0 Disagree0

I don't think we'll win the CL, but the BVB game we missed Flamini. His voice between midfield and defense has made a big difference for me - will be interested to see him feature

Agree0 Disagree0

I asked a question and got 3 very good answers. good post boys, I agree with all of you

Agree0 Disagree0

We can win the CL without any additions

If healthy, we have a good enough squad

It's all about the luck of the draw

Lets not forget Barca hasn't won in a few years either.

With a proper draw, we have a great shot

Last 4 years we have been drawn against Barca twice, AC Milan (when they had Ibra and Boateng) and Bayern. We were only 1 goal away from qualifying in past 3 years. Now we have the undisputed group of death this year, we are usually very unfortunate in CL #Conspiracy #Plattini.

Yeh with our fully fit squad we can beat anyone on our day. Its just beating them over two legs that is tricky.

I think we were very unlucky on Tuesday night. I think the next 6 weeks are going to be very important to our season it could be make or break.

Not could be, will be! I'm hopeful we'll keep it together. unlike previous seasons. If we get some good results in these big fixtures I think the belief will lead us to a trophy, here's hoping!

Hey guys don't think you'll remember me haven't posted in AGES! Just want to say great to see Ed02 back. Also what are the chances of Arsenal tying down Serge Gnabry on a long term contract? Thanks as always {Ed002's Note - I really can't help with that.}

I must say it's a pleasure having Ed002 back on the Arsenal page, I hope the chaps who were responsible for the verbal abuse have either left the page or were blocked from posting.

Cheers, {Ed002's Note - Thanks.}

Nice post Trinidad, Ed002 I don't think I had found this site when the abuse was happening but I am very glad you came back and grateful to all you Eds for providing this fantastic site.
Without you there is no us, its worth anyone who might think they have the right ( which no one does, to abuse any one else ) remembering that.

So thank you all from the very large majority of us all

Agree0 Disagree0

G62, I totally agree. The Eds do a magnificent job. i'm not too sure what abuse happened but I hope that's just a thing of the past now

I'm surprised at the lack of abuse I've had from my friends regarding arsenals loss to Dortmund.
We should all remember this is a improved Dortmund team from the one that deserved to beat bayern in champions league final.
Add to that they beat em in the community shield equivalent.
And then you've got bayern who completely destroyed man city at the etihad, yet Dortmund had to be resilient, on the back foot and very hard working and still got lucky to win against us. Without flamini, Walcott, ox and podolski.
This tells me that we are are more then strong enough to compete, just need a signing or 2 to get over the line.
Success is coming.
