alyuh have games to lose,

Man U defence worse than Arsenal's. And we still have good defenders to come back from injury, unlike them. We struggling now with all the players missing but that won't last.

u were sayin.................what happens with southampton over d next few weeks goh be tellin

Boy, United were INCREDIBLY lucky to get anything from that game. Arsenal rained shots on them and only one went in. They have two shots on target to Arsenal's 9 and only one scores for both sides. You cannot plan for that. Just fantastic luck for United. Arsenal did everything right but the finishing and a ridiculous own goal. Sometimes you just have a day where everything goes wrong. It sucks but they were completely outplayed and managed to ratch a win when they should have been utterly crushed. Real hard luck.

3 wins in a row going into the home game v Anderlecht. Sanchez in great form, Walcott back on the pitch. Attack finally starting to take shape. Liking what I see. I feel like 2nd is in reach. With the start Chelsea had we will have to hope for some luck on that front.

alyuh have to real play and southampton looks up to it, swansea on their day can take points of ah people, everton, man city, pool blah blah.......it eh goin and be no cake walk bro.

Never said it would. Everybody can take points off everybody else. That includes Arsenal.

Pity. A stupid penalty and a counterattack goal. Attack will get better. Theo coming back for the next game. The big teams can stop one of our big goal threats but not two (or three when Ramsey returns).

big talk ...........we go see.......but the trend of not winning d big games continues from last season, right now chelsea in good nick, man u now ketchin deyself, man city pickin up some consistency, but while pool and everton shakey, any one of swansea, southampton and few others have in dem to poison ah "big side" so.................

Yeah. We need more than one major goal threat in the big games. Can't rely only on Alexis. Walcott is a 20 goal a season player when fit. So is Ramsey (if he retains his form). Big teams can shut one of them down but not two or three. We go see. When I saw Wilshere and Welbeck getting through for one on ones I knew they weren't going to score. Need our deadly finishers back.

United not getting anywhere with that defence. Top 4 is out of their reach. They are now what Spurs used to be. Great going forward but liable to fold up at the back.

Welbeck 3 goals in 4 games. Is it too early to point this out to the Liverpool fans who were coasting about us paying for Welbeck as much as they paid for Balotelli?

Very good game. City threw the kitchen sink at us after Debuchy's injury (bad sprain according to Wenger). Team still weak in the air. Pity Welbeck hit the post but then City did twice late in the game. When Arsenal finally click they will be scary good. A draw was deserved.

... dahis a conclusion excluding any analysis of defensive frailties?

I mentioned the aerial weakness and City hitting the post twice didn't I?

... didn't find that comprehensive.

I didn't realise I needed to be comprehensive in 6 sentences...

 

Oh, ho! ... So no deliberate blindness?   

Tell you what, next time I'll write an essay detailing every single flaw in Arsenal's game and none of the positive bits. That way when I mention negative parts you'll know I'm being balanced.

So Arsenal's valuation of Wellbeck is equal to Liverpool's valuation of Balotelli?  Interesting.  Brilliant piece ah business by United, if true.

And also similar to Remy's valuation as well.  Go figure

Remy linked to Arsenal since Thy Kingdom Come. Wenger is clearly not interested for whatever reason.

People may compare the two prices (Balos/Welbeck) but Wenger made it clear he didn't have any interest whatsoever in Balotelli some weeks ago. It's also clear that 16M for Balotelli is a pretty cut price for a talent like that, probably due to the drama he brings. If Pool fans want to coast on Arsenal for replacing one nutcase with another that's their business. I'm not keen on Welbeck or the "English premium" but it is what it is. I don't think we needed another striker so it's neither here nor there to me. My only problem with the window is the lack of defensive signings.

Team looked rusty. I'll take the 3 points though. Hope the play improves for the Besiktas playoff and the Everton game next weekend.

Ramsey, what can I say? The man has that Thomas Muller quality of knowing where to be and he can bury it. Keep it up Aaron!

What is tiring is to lose players to City or ­somebody else. You will have to ask Sagna why he chose City. I made him a proposal to stay for three years, but he chose them. Had he chosen a long time ago? Maybe – it looks to me like he agreed it a long time before. It is disappointing because he came here as an unknown and he became a French ­international. But I also respect Sagna because, until the last day of his contract with us, he was super-professional. - Arsene Wenger.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/arsenals-wenger-surprised-disappointed-title-4021746#ixzz3ARHTBX2G

[In the last five years, Arsenal have lost Emmanuel Adebayor, Kolo Toure, Gael Clichy, Samir Nasri and now Sagna to City].

Interesting that none of the players we lost to City were huge successes. Nasri still has a chance. Clichy is ok and Sagna's career is winding down. Probably why I never felt that hostile towards City buying our players.

Seeing the training camp pictures and new signing Calum Chambers wearing #5. Like Vermaelen going to sell guns somewhere else. 

This transfer window just keeps getting better and better! Sanchez comes to the BPL club with the brightest future (why on earth would he choose Liverpool over Arsenal at this point in their history?), Sagna replaced by the man keeping him out of the French National Team, Fabianski replaced with a player of quality and a highly promising young, versatile fullback signed. Time for that starting holding midfielder then bring on the season!

Arsenal complete Mathieu Debuchy signing

http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/20140717/arsenal-complete-mathieu-debuchy-signing

France international Mathieu Debuchy has joined Arsenal Football Club on a long-term contract for an undisclosed fee.

The 28-year-old right back has just returned from the World Cup in Brazil, where he helped France reach the quarter-finals.

An experienced defender, Debuchy arrives from Newcastle United, where he featured 46 times during an 18-month spell. He spent the first nine years of his senior career with French side Lille, where he made 233 Ligue 1 appearances for his boyhood club and a further 18 in the Uefa Champions League.

Debuchy helped Lille to a league and Coupe de France double in 2010/11 and in the following season his contribution was recognised by being named in the 2011/12 Ligue 1 Team of the Season. His performances also earned him his international debut against Albania in October 2011, and he now has 25 caps for France.

Arsène Wenger said: “We are delighted to welcome Mathieu Debuchy to Arsenal Football Club. He has shown he can perform at the highest level with his club sides and also for France. He is a quality defender who has good Premier League experience and I’m confident he will fit in very well with us.”

Debuchy will join up with his new team-mates soon for pre-season preparations and is expected to make his debut at the Emirates Cup in the first weekend of August.

He said: “I’m very proud to be joining a great club like Arsenal and to wear its colours, it’s one of the biggest clubs in the whole world. I’m looking forward to working with Arsène Wenger and to helping the team build on last season’s FA Cup success. Playing again in the Champions League is a big excitement for me and I will do my best to help Arsenal compete for trophies.”

Debuchy’s Arsenal squad number will be revealed soon through Arsenal’s official Instagram account @Arsenal.

Everyone at Arsenal would like to welcome Mathieu to the Club.

Exactly the player Arsenal was looking for. He offers everything the Gunners attack was missing last season. 2 world class players in 2 summers. And people want to say Wenger afraid to spend money on quality.

We've completed the last stage of the 10 year freeze of heavy spending on world class players.

Amen to that. Madrid's #10 and Barca's #9 in two summers. And we were able to tell them we didn't need Cesc. Basically this is a huge "I told you so!" from Wenger and the board to the fans who were complaining about them being cheap.
