am i the only one to think we need sign a world class striker to give us a fighting chance..

[maltese gooner]

im not bothered about getting another cdm to be honest, I mean if we can get both it would be even better but sorry to say Sanogo should be nothing else but an occasional sub against lower teams, we need a better striker thenGiroud to make us competitive with Chelsea and Man City

[Rich]

plenty of goals. It's the pace and power in the middle we need. Sadly Arteta can't help there.

I do think that we'll come 3rd or 4th, though - which is good.

we finished 7 points behind City last season, it's not like we have a big amount to make up

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

That would average out at 101 for a league season.

Seems plenty to me.

[Peter]

Scored over 100 and even chelsea scored more :-)

A few extra goals would be a big help.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

This season will be betterer.

I'm not going to be watching any game involving Chelsea for a long, long time.

[Luis Anaconda]

almost as if season to season comparisons are a touch meaningless

[Peter]

We could do with a few more goals. It isnt as if we score hatfuls but there are problems elsewhere.

Of course,vthere are also problems elsewhere :-)

[Peter]

Maybe not. Who knows? Certsinly not me.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

He has a very kind face.

[The Tony]

With Ozil in the middle firing passes all day long to Walcott, Ox and Alexis.

Bye bye slow Yaya and Giroud,

Then everyone will be moaning because we're still playing Arteta.

Bright lurid orange things with a stupid f**king sock built into them. I was looking at them in the sports shop on Sunday, ridiculous.

Arsene should act on this.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

They should be forced to wear black Puma Kings. No options, no choices, no moaning, no ifs, buts or maybes. Report for pre-season, get handed one pair of black Puma Kings in your size, end of boot decisions for the season.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

My boot of choice in the now infamous treble winning season of 92-93 when we swept all in front of us save for the London Cup or whatever it was called. A finer right-back / central midfield player I doubt has been seen on the plains of Hackney and/or Wanstead Flats etc.

Switched to Adidas World Cup next season, won nothing.



Anyway, boots with socks:

importantly, a stud spanner.

There's no better feeling than tightening your studs before a game.

Those orange things are hideous. Perfectly revolting.

I always wore Puma Kings because that's what Cruyff did.

[Peter]

This may be a good thing. I really dont know.

on the flats or marshes, when I played over there regularly during the 70's...
