I think we should start some sort of vivd campaign to bring Di maria to the Emirates, He maybe available, and Arsenal do have some interest, if we make it vocal perhaps the manager will have in the back of his mind ( like an advert makes you buy crap - repetetive stuff) and perhaps even the players will feel like he wants to join a place where he is being wanted before he has joined.

Just think draxler will prove to be too expensive and inexperienced, and the worst bit is he turns out to be joining munich in the end.

Getting di maria gives us pace and width with an eye for goal.

Di Maria, Serge Aurier, Lars bender, Mandzukic and we can really do some serious damange.

Ozil got the wings to supply, we got ramsey and wilshere and not to forget the ox, walcott and gnabry. its optimistic if we can add some depth and quality.

everyone does not win every year and as bad as we have been, I think looking at barcelona is an example of how we are actually better off.

No selling poldi or arteta or no one, just add 4 players and let the freebies go.

{Ed002's Note - How embarrassing will it be for the club and the players to have the Arsenal fans singing the name of another club's player. Astonishing stuff - you sound like a Liverpool fan.}

Leave it to the manager I am sure he has identified targets. And I hope he knows how much stick he will be getting if he does not sign a world class striker.

I agree Di Maria should be our main priority this summer

I also agree w Ed that singing someone else's players name is a joke

Gratuitous insults Ed002?

{Ed007's Note - To be fair it's difficult to tell the difference between Arsenal and LFC fans this weather. It's as if you have merged into one big blob of homoerotic gloop.}

Couldn't agree more Ed007!

The love in with the L'pool fans makes me want to be sick. They are coming on here and wishing us the best for 4th place, it's horrific. Shows how far we've fallen when even L'pool are better than us!

The whole 'if we don't win it, I hope you do' is as equally horrific. You shouldn't want anyone to win it other than your team. And if you can't win it then you should be properly annoyed and not all this 'I hope you win it now.'

I agree that Stevie G deserves a medal for his footballing ability but it doesn't mean I want him to get it over us. I wonder how 'loyal' he was when he put in his transfer request.

If your team mucks it up, then that's that. Forget about the whole title race. Concentrate on the why your team mucked it up. It's just completely patronising when we've got fans coming on and wishing us the best for 4th place. The players celebrate like they are happy with it too.

Maybe if we, as fans, showed some proper rivalry towards our title rivals then it might transfer to the players and we wouldn't get absolute humiliated like we have been countless times in the past few years.

Support your team and screw everyone else.

G95 - as an LFC fan I agree with your sentiments. If your own team is out of the title race why spend much time or effort on posting who you would prefer to win it. We finished 7th last season and deserved nothing more - its a different story this season but when I see Arsenal fans wishing us the best I just can't help but think that maybe there are a lot of AFC fans who don't really believe they can really compete whilst they have a manager who IMO doesn't have the hunger to win things that he used to have.

I know this may rile some AFC fans but why not create some heated debate rather than boring 'all the best' posts: IMO Arsenal are not making progress - if you win the fa cup you will have done so only because because you got home draws in every round along with some generous ref decisions. As soon as you have to play away (sorry neutral ground) you need penalties to beat a championship side.

I await some not so friendly banter!

You'll get no stick from me Janman, we all have our own opinions and ways of doing things.
When I played (many moons ago) I always went to to the oppositions changing room after the game to thank them for the game and wish them the best for the season, it's my nature to be very competitive on the pitch but sporting win lose or draw once the game was over.
We all operate how we wish some positive some negative, some friendly some hostile, some share friendly banter some seek confrontation at every level.

We all have our own way of representing our self's and each to their own, respect is the key one way or the other

{Ed007's Note - I was once sent off by a ref who was using a Monopoly card for his red.}

Its a shame you didn't have a get out of jail free card handy 007, in today's game I'd have been suspended for most of the season as I was always on the line ready to give a pen away by saving the ball with my hand if the keeper missed it.in a SF once I did it 3 times and the ref gave 2 pens which they missed and the ref didn't see the 3rd, we won 2 1i had to leave the ground in my kit as the opposition wanted to lynch me, they still do probably :-) good memories

I'm all for good sportsmanship, shaking hand before and after, etc) but the rest of the time I want no-one to win other than my team. And if we don't win then I don't care who wins it. I certainly won't be sucking up to some of our closet rivals hoping they win it.

Spot on with all your comments

Oh boy this conversation again.

I'm from a family of 4, my mother and I support Kentucky sports, whereas my brother and dad support Louisville sports. Every year we are hostile towards each other come game day. But don't bet for a second that when kentucky is out I wouldn't root for Louisville. It's a combination of respect of the way they play and not wanting Duke/UNC/Michigan State to win.

There is a very contrasting situation. My brother supports chelsea, I support liverpool. And I HATE chelsea. They're boring, they go for 1-0 wins, and mourinho is a person.

So why do I congratulate Arsenal when they win? Two reasons. Their fans congratulate me when I do, and have been classy to us. Also, I really admire the way they play. I want successful teams to play the game the exciting way.
