Well in ended 1-1 Chelsea and Spurs and the good thing it is now in our hands as point ahead of Spurs with all having 2 games to play. Win our 2 games and we have got 4th at least

It is going to be tight but Chelsea only 2 points ahead and also have two games so they could still slip up.

Don't take two victories for granted, we are capable of self destruction at all times. And the end of season always throws up surprise results

No 2-2

secret rider

I think CFC Spurs and us will all get 4 points out of 6 now

Just watching some old matches of Arsenal. I had forgotten how good Ray Parlor was and how important to the team he was

ed just say we end up 5th, do you think we could still get big names in? money talks don't it

gooner mark {Ed027's Note - It would be a different situation, but we would still see the squad improved significantly

Cheers ed, I just hope they're actually going to spend big for once

i think the shock of fergie retiring at end of season is realy going to throw a spanner in the works when it comes to the transfer market I don't think anyone knows what's going to happen

Eds, Graham Hunter said yesterday the David Villa will be playing in the premier league next season with either Spurs or Arsenal. what's your take on that? {Ed027's Note - CL will be a big factor, if Spurs get it, expect him their, if we get it don't expect him, we have other targets

That's a crap replacement for Bale.

Hi ed, as we have always had a tradition of developing young talent, I was looking at our current crop and wondering who may be good enough to become our next star. Jack aside, recent prodigies have found the step up a leap to far. Afobe, miyachi, coquelin, miquel, frimpong, yennaris, eastmond, emmanuel thomas have all been touted as the next big thing only to vanish off the radar quicker than an x factor winner returns to a career in waiting tables. Now we have jenkinson, the ox, Gibbs, eisfeld, akpom, gnarby. My feeling is the ox could be a world beater but the others I have serious reservations about. Clearly there is a massive leap from reserve to first team football. I personally would like to see arsene spend big as our youth experiment is proving much less successful than once was. We read about these boy wonders on there mega deals, but the are not making the step up. Vela, bendtner, merida, the list is endless. Richie rich

Jenkinson is great, have you forgotten how well he played when Sagna was out at the seasons start? Many of us thought Sagna wouldn't actually get back in the team!

I think our academy is Over rated. Arsene Got this name as he 'use' to buy young players and turn them into world beater and he always had faith in his young side for years. Players actually coming through the academy to be WC is a different story Jack yes but who else? Cesc was poached from Barca he is not a product of our academy
dandan

Developing young talent?

You mean, buying young players developed by Saints!

Well, no longer.

Falco goes to norwich city for 5p

Ah yes. comments like that take me back to the day that ken aguero (kun's equally as talented brother) was to sign for liverpool lol

Hated him because he was a winner.
Respected him because he was a winner.
Enjoy your retirement red nose.
No need to wear a watch now fella.

Wasn't it nice of Wenger to give him such a nice retirement present!

My moneys on chavski to win the league next season under Mourinio.

So with Fergie gone, next season we will have the best manager in the league, all we need is the squad and the league is ours.

08 May 2013 10:07:59
Hopefully chelsea can do us a favour but I really hope we don't take wigan lightly we have to get the job done next week.
Also a non arsenal related topic is that the end of the season will be sad day in English footbal and world football as the old nemesis fergie is gona retire even though the las 15 years we have been battling with him you have to comend him on what he has achieved and hopefully they can appoint someone to f**k it all up lool

Not totally arsenal related but Fergie has announced his retirement at the end of the season. Will be interesting to see who his replacement is and how he deals with the team.
Only worry is that it could be one of the people that have been lined up to replace Wenger when his contract runs out next summer.
Would love for their new manager to be shocking and for them to crumble next season, we can always hope!

Well they do have a decent squad. the manager will have to be really bad to take the current team and not finish top 2 next year.

Norwich fan here
There's a lot of people supporting arsenal on the 14th vs Wigan basically Amy team on 38 points who draw or win will be safe if you beat Wigan. Please just trash them.

Ed, is the Puma rumour true? I, for one, would love to see Arsenal wear Puma! {Ed035's Note - it's only paper talk at the minute, nothing is confirmed 100% yet. Ed027 broke this story a while back..

Thanks {Ed035's Note - no problem

Hi ed027, when did this happen? Is there an update on this?refering to post from 01may regarding messi.

01 May 2013 23:17:40
Ed have we bid for messi {Ed027's Note - Apparently so, we bid 11m plus Gervinho, they said they'd consider if we offered Denilson, we're considering our options

{Ed027's Note - We never did offer Denilson, Wenger rates him too highly

Can we leave the sarcasm to me please

Thanks Ed. Does this mean that Denilson will be returning to Arsenal any time soon? {Ed027's Note - Nope instead of strengthening Barca we thought we'd let him go permanently to Sau Paulo, negotiations are on the way as soon as his loan expires
