Wenger should come out and lie and say Cesc is really English and not Spanish. Then sit back and watch as Spurs and Liverpool come running with their checkbooks.

Or say he's a striker to get Man City in the mix.

You guys are hilarious. I did catch the Everton game from Maui and that was an awful non-call. However, Lee Mason was the ref and he's horrible. No surprise he blew another game

I'm choked that Fabianski's out for the season only because Almunia will at some point be between the posts. Ugh

On the subject of transfers, I think it's awesome Wenger's outlay on his complete starting 11 was 10 million less than what Chelsea paid for Torres. Says a lot about his ability to develop talent.

Chelsea have stated they're going to go on a 'Summer spending spree', which is hilarious, as someone really should remind Roman of the Fair Play rules.

This whole thing is a non-story to me and it's ridiculous it's still going on. I agree with Wenger, that what is said is those situations doesn't then need to be spread to the media. I'd bet a lot of money that Moyes has said much, much worse to officials.

You mean the English media are blowing something a non Englishman did totally out of proportion!

I am shocked.

I get bored of these stories. I'd prefer to read about our prep for the Newcastle game this weekend lol. I never read about Terry getting ripped in the press and I think he's one of the worst when it comes to treatment of officials. Hmmm....

Just an armband isn't good enough to be exempt I guess. Has to be the armband of a certain international team, or at least was at some point. Wait, must have the proper accent. Wait, and skin color. Ahhh, too many layers.

I'd like to see a list of everything Rooney has said in the tunnel and compare it to a list of everything Fabregas has said.

Then I'd like to see a list of the news articles about things Fabregas has said and compare it to a list of the news articles about things Rooney has said.

I doubt I'd like what I find.

Moyes continues to make himself look like a complete and utter jackass.

He says Fabregas never swore and was calm and calculated and that he "insulted the integrity of Everton". Wow.

I used to like David Moyes. Now...not so much.

Re: ***The Official Arsenal "Gunners" Thread***

Squad for today...

Szczesny, Sagna, Koscielny, Djourou, Clichy, Walcott, Wilshere, Diaby, Fabregas, Arshavin, van Persie.

Subs: Almunia, Rosicky, Squillaci, Eboué, Gibbs, Chamakh, Bendtner.

Referee: Phil Dowd.

No surprises there at all. Newcastle beat us earlier this season 1-0 with an Andy Carroll header and since he is now an overpaid striker elsewhere, I think we'll do just fine today. Also, I mentioned Phil Dowd as the referee, as I've always seen him do a good job in our games. Isn't card happy, but also calls fouls when they're obvious fouls for both sides.

Prediction: Arsenal 3 - 1 Newcastle

45 seconds into the game, Theo Walcott! 1-0 to the Arsenal!

What the eff was that?

Re: ***The Official Arsenal "Gunners" Thread***

That second penalty was rubbish. Wenger needs to start standing up to these officials and their anti-gooner bias. Where was the foul in the second penalty.

Nolan should have seen a red after just about mugging Szczesny for the ball. Both the Newcastle thugs (nolan and barton) should have been tossed.

Where was Fabregas in the second half? Did he go missing?

Re: ***The Official Arsenal "Gunners" Thread***

Diaby, you are a freaking idiot. I hate you. The good news is Man Utd. are losing with five to play. Let's hope that holds up.
