Use our rumours form to send us arsenal transfer rumours.

28 Mar 2014 21:45:25
I think the moto for tomorrow is expect the worst and hope for the best.
If its 0 5 to city not to many of us will be absolutely shocked into disbelief but on the other hand should we surprise our self's and the world and play at the top of our game again who knows out of the blue's our season and self belief might just be reignited.

Its a long shot chuck but it might just work!!

Gunner62. You are absolutely right mate. None of us will be absolutely shocked. Now! That must tell us all that there is a problem and not a small one either.

Jose' comment, Scholes assessment, the fans booing in the stand, you guys think Wenger will take the hint? or will we just win the FA cup and everything will be forgotten.

Next year looks good though with Jack, Ramsey getting back, Ozil hopefully improving and then maybe 1-2 new signings (a new manager hopefully?).

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Namaste bhai, personally want wenger to go because by staying he is just ruining his legacy, but I don't think he wil go right now he will sign the contract that was offered to him . As far as next year goes it definitely looks bright specially if we get players like draxler, bender and a good striker and by the way Diaby is also fit

dont agree with paul scholes that arsenal are a million miles of the league they are a BILLION lol

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Does that make spurs light years away?

Agree0 Disagree0

Spurs . lol, Last time spurs won the
league, Wilshere's grandpa was still
at school

Agree0 Disagree0

We'll still a lot closer than you- 53 years since your last league title win isn't? Forget a million/billion years, let's just look at 53 years ago.

Cuban missile crisis (JFK was still alive!), Berlin wall was erected, Beatles first gig at Liverpool cavern, average cost of a house about £2, 500- I could go on- the world has changed significantly - it's real history since you last won the league already- but that period will seem like the middle ages by the time you've won the league again :)

Evening gents and Jenny

Got a tipp from a good BBQ that Frank ribbery could be on his way to us in the summer

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Malaga, we have more chance of signing Frank Spencer than Frank Ribery.

Agree0 Disagree0

DG you just made me choke on my cornflakes. LOL.
Good luck for today we could do with you guys doing us a favour!

Just watched the Real Madrid v Arsenal Champions League Final where we lost 3-2. Now that was a team. Henry, Hleb, Fabregas, Lehmann, Reyes, etc. and of course T.J Harper. We were a bit unlucky to have lost it by that Beckham free kick in injury time. What am I on about I hear you all saying? well I was surprised myself but it was a decent game.

Hi dags/gunners I just popped over from the lfc site to see what your predictions are for tomorrow and how do you see your best chance of getting a result against them arsenal seem to have the worst luck ever with injuries your injury list is unbelievable it would be like city comin missing kompany yaya fernandinho navas even with there sqaud which is a lot bigger than ours and yours goodluck

Believable0 Unbelievable0

City not turning up would help Giblet, you never know with us.
I would go for it against city as we have little to lose, a point won't do us much good in our pursuit of 4th or in damage limitation.
I know it would help you and I hope we can but I think 3pts or nothing for us has to be our motto

Agree0 Disagree0

Hi Giblet,

Mate, I fear this one. We have a bad injury list, players who create/score goals.

Man City, even minus Aguero are an awesome team and I fear the worst mate.

3-1 City for me.

Agree0 Disagree0

Just shows you where we all are at the moment. Can you imagine any of us replying to a post like that in the way we are now a few months ago? We are! in a sorry state.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Mar 2014 12:22:23
Well, some good response from Wenger today, with fair comment on Scholes' comments. Despite all the understandable mistakes with transfers, spending, injuries and tactics, we have to get behind out boys tomorrow. We need to be behind them until the years out, see where we are.

Some players, especially for me Mertesacker have done well this year. If we can nick a win tomorrow, it will give us a good boost til the year end, and boy is it needed:) Fire up the cannon

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I'm not exactly sure what Scholes said wrong? He hit the nail right on the head. Just because he hasn't been a manager doesn't mean he is wrong. He was absolutely spot on.

Agree0 Disagree0

On this occasion I have to agree with Arsene, how can we be a million miles away, that is crazy . I bet the level headed G Neville wouldn't say that.

I do have a problem with ex players being pundits, they find it hard to leave the rivalry that once was out of the argument.

Even I ( I have been quite a negative poster on here.so I am told lol) wouldn't say we are that far away .

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Mar 2014 17:35:56
I think that is the most frustrating thing Banbury, if he'd just go out and buy them.

Agree0 Disagree0

I'd have thought scholes would be concentrating on utd being billions of miles behind spurs

Agree0 Disagree0

Videos of gnabry talking aout mancity and flamini talking about kallsrom,

good signs if you are of the same opinion of me, that they start

Agree0 Disagree0

Scholes face at the final whistle was priceless I thought the ginger git was going to cry or all ready had been

If Vermaelen leaves this summer it will be yet another Arsenal captain that leaves the club. Should've handed the armband to Bendtner.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

28 Mar 2014 11:24:20
Lets get behind the team & Wenger tomorrow. Remember we are only 6 points off top place and we are in the F A Cup semi-final against a championship team.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Sorry Robbie I not filled with confidence at the moment, any team that can beat city at their place has to at least worry us.
I'm sure it will be ok just not that sure I'd bet a months wages if you offered me 10/1.
Unfortunately I not in a position financially to be able to take the risk

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Mar 2014 11:06:43
Eds David Dein back to Arsenal do you think that would ever be possible even if we had a new manager. Or impossible, if Wenger was to leave?.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - I could only guess.}

Golds,

I know this isn't related to this post but would like to apologise to you individually for my posts towards you last week. I'm genuinely sorry. I'm glad you came back. We are all Gooners, all with a variety of opinions and as Dags and G62 often say we are entitled to them.

Hope you can accept :-)

Agree0 Disagree0

Fair play Jenny, it takes a big person to apologise.

Agree0 Disagree0

Thank You apology accepted.

It takes a good man to admit he was wrong and apologise.

Oh hold on,,,,

Hi edd if you had to choose 3 players for arsenal who would you want and whys players do you want to leave

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Fantasy football isn't really me but I guess others will want a go. Batshuayi, Lars Bender and Aymeric Laporte are viable options to improve the team.}

Is laporte the center back from Bilbao eds?

{Ed001's Note - yes. French lad.}

Thanks edd

The Manchester united fans are hiring out a light air craft to voice there discontent at their club for tomorrows game.

I've done something similar on behalf of our fans. After I wrote my thoughts I asked how many aircrafts would be needed? So if you find yourself at the Emirates tomorrow, and at half time see a dozen Zeppelins, 6 blimps, 4 chinooks, followed be a colourful finale by the red devils you know who to thank.

Oh I meant to say earlier that I think it would be a big mistake to let Podolski go I think he is an awesome impact player he is the type of player that will turn a game around for you out of nothing. You don't get 112 senior caps for Germany for nothing!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Agree Gold's mate, totally.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Mar 2014 06:37:08
Dags. LOL to you're reply on my gloomy post below 'Morale Officer ' No! but to be serious we can't keep giving it the
biggun when we are and dare I say it playing like a top of the table Championship side. We are definitely not playing like a title chasing and supposedly one of the best clubs in Europe set up. What is it now 8 games to go be honest if anyone was to have a bet where would you say we were going to finish up at the rate we are going. Everyone knows we love Arsenal but the situation is comparable to someone having a really badly behaved child and they are the only ones that think its an angel because they are blinded by love for it.True or not?. I'm going to say this now and because of our injuries I'm not sure whether we will be able to rectify the situation but I think we are going to need a massive psychological turn around to get us back on track. let's not fool ourselves here just look at the bench we have at the moment. How many of them would even be on the bench for Chelsea, Man City, and even Liverpool. Sorry if I say it we are becoming a shambles and rapidly too. We use to get on the pitch and mesmorise teams with our passing and quick breaks. Now we can't seem to string a few passes together before we lose the ball. Something is desperately wrong behind the scenes that we are not party to. Whether its training, confidence, or whatever I just don't know but I'm not going to come on here and say what a wonderful fabulous team we are at the moment when we are clearly not doing the business that is ridiculous .

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Totally agree mate.

The only crumb of comfort, as you aforementioned, is the fact we have 4 or 5 of our best players out injured.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Mar 2014 02:35:28
ours lads will respond this weekend in a positive manner, we will not lose to city.I can see us getting 4 points from the next two games and then with players coming back and confidence back, we will win the FA Cup and five wins in the league.
love you gunners.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Is that you Arsene?

Agree0 Disagree0

If we win against everton and lose against city we get 3 points instead of two draws and 2 points makes sense.

To Jenny Taylor

Wow girl, that was a damn fine post, spoken from the heart.

I think your post resonates in the heart of every Arsenal supporter.

Best post of the year, but that just goes to show how bad Arsenal are at the moment.

Best post of the year should be going to an upbeat post, one that sings the praises of how well we are doing and how close we are to winning the league, with fine flowing attractive football.

Alas, it's not to be.

You take first prize Jen, seriously great post though.

PS, I know you were not ignoring my post about the "female" thing.

PPS, did you know ED002 is a female?

Bet you didn't?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Ed002 is a woman! I don't believe it!
The abrubt responses. The "get your facts right" replies! Followed by days of silence.
It's all making sence now. I feel a bit cheated. When you ask someone what perfume they wear, and the best way to apply fake tan without smudging your white blouse. You expect a confused member of the same sex like me. I guess long gone are the days when you can have that conversation with a man.
Is nothing sacred anymore! I'll never believe a word she says again!
P.S
Ed002, are we buying anyone of quality? And I want my handbag back!
Flybo

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I can tell you where there is interest in players but obviously it is rather different to say who Arsenal are actually "buying" and who indeed Remi Garde might want. "Quality" is of course subjective. You can have you hand bag back - leopard skin and cheap gold trim are not me.}

Hi Ed002,

Have I missed something, your reply implies that Remi Garde will be our manager?

Apologies if I am being stupid but would apreciate a reply.

Cheers

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - That would be a oops. Arsene Wenger it should have said.}

Forgive Ed002, I'm sure she was just having a blonde moment, lol.

Great reply Flybo, btw. Made me chuckle.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed002 a female?

well let me post my personal profile.

im 6ft3

medium shade (new age color) and better looking than giroud.

I can possibly bare chelsea, for you I might.

i am between 30-55 years of age, whichever number fits you best i'm that age.

I make more than david beckham, how you may ask. well I accepted a mail from a dear friend from nigeria, and low and behold he transferred 2 billion dollars in my name.

i always believe that instead of making a mockery of those emails, I tried it and it made me a billionaire.

I also plan to buy miley cyrus and justin bieber and open a zoo for the public to come see them.

Agree0 Disagree0

Laker, what you don't realise is, I'm the Nigerian who sent you that E-Mail.

Ha, how you feeling now rich boy?

28 Mar 2014 11:54:46
Thanks Dags,

As always a bloody nice guy.

I had read the rumour about Ed02 being a woman and an American one at that.

I'll probably get banned for this but I think she is a mix of Joan Rivers and Sara Palin and I'm pretty sure even the other ed's are **** scared of her. She by all accounts carries a Glock 17 when she's back in the states.

So be warned Lakerville you could be biting off way more than you can chew.

Great reply Flybo :-)

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I am actually in Monte Carlo right now with one of my wives.}

How much will it cost to fly a banner over monte carlo saying. Ed002 will you marry me?

is 800 quid the right estimate?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Sorry to disappoint you all but I am all the man Ed002 will ever need. You can't compete with my kilt and her penchant for caber tossing at the local Highland Games, in fact she could probably turn a professional in tossing cabers.}

Ed007 sounds all brawn. i'm sure I can win Ed002 over with a battle of wits.

lets see who can get a higher score on candycrush

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea what Candycrush is. Ed007 - image a Mexican wrestler covered entirely in thick ginger hair.}

All I can see now is Fat Barsteward from Austin Powers!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Jenny if I did describ myself to you it would just ruin you for every other man - you would always be comparing any potential suitors to me, it's a burden I have had to learn to live with. That's why we don't have any pictures of Eds anywhere, it just wouldn't be fair on any other guy on here and the sites would become overrun by women wanting to talk to me :)

4) This team is full of character.

10) Wilshere will be available next week.
11) Wilshere has had a set back.
12) We can beat Chelsea.
13) We are disappointed with our performance against Chelsea.
14) This group of players have a great team spirit. Epitomized not by their performances on the pitch, but by the daily thumbs up selfie in the dressing room posted on twitter by Szczesney #Sorrygoonerfanswewerecrap.
15) I take full responsibility for the teams performance, says Manager.
16) We take full responsibility for our performance, says players.
17) Wilshere available in two weeks.

21) I didn't see it

22) I know we lost 6-0 but the 1st goal was offside (wenger)

23) I believe in this team

24) I am convinced Bendtner will be world class (wenger)

25) who me? I am world class. (Bendtner)

26) I don't think it was a red card (wenger).
The 103 different refs must be wrong I guess, eh Arsene?
