SMH at that entire freakin game.

What in all thats holy is up with Eduardo thinking he can take 3 or 4 touches everytime he gets the ball. You aren't in League 2 Eduardo, you're playing freakin Chelsea.

Its just so frustrating watching us keep all that possession but knowing good and well that nothing is going to come from it because we don't have a striker thats worth a damn. Also, if Theo Walcott wants to make the England squad for the WC he needs to quit giving the ball away everytime he touches it. At the pace he is giving the ball away he's going to have a hard time making our bench.

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

I am sadder because my brother, a Chelsea fan, is gloating all over because I now have to wear Chelsea gear the rest of the season as a result of our lost bet. We made this bet before the injuries because I thought we could beat Chelsea.

Anyhow, he has a jacket and jersey all ready for me The horror.....at least it's not a Spurs jersey as I couldn't handle that

What i found so odd about that game was just how smooth and fluid Arsenal were playing throughout much of the first half. They only wound up with a slim majority of possession, but they were playing Arsenal football, and I expected a goal...Arshavin drifted in and out of play, but always seemed dangerous when involved. Arsenal is about the only team I can imagine that can have so much possession inside the box and not manage a shot...it happened more times than i can remember in that match.

I am amazed at how ugly Chelsea can play and how they can still be so brutally efficient in front of goal...Drogba is just a goal-scorer. I am amazed he hasn't been begged after by other teams...Either Milan team could really use him.

He has. Both Milan clubs, Real, and Barca expressed interest last summer.

Thats pretty much Arsenal football. It works against most teams, but when we play a physical team like Chelsea we really struggle with the final ball. Its especially going to be that way now until we get someone with a physical presence now that RVP is done for the year.

Finally a Premier League win!

Ramsey is looking better and better each time I see him, and Traore has impressed me a great deal with Clichy out.

Really?

I have not been impressed at all by Traore. He is worst than Silvestre when it comes to letting guys just run at him. Like Silvestre he will give ground all the way to the middle of the box. SWP straight up owned him in the Carling Cup tie.

Tomas Rosicky set to miss a month.

At the rate were picking up injuries we may not be able to field a team by January. Hopefully we field a team similar to the team we fielded in the Carling Cup to play in our last Champions League group stage game. As we need to stay as we need to have a few regulars fit for the the game against Liverpool.

Yeah, the Liverpool game starters better not play in the CL.

Wenger definitely needs to add a striker come January. He's talked about the need as well, which is good, but unless the team is willing to spend money, it doesn't look like we'll have a whole lot of options available.

Talented player for sure, but he might not be the best fit for the squad. Ideally, they need someone more capable of playing central striker with some height & strength. You could almost make the argument Lucas Barrios would be more tempting, although not as technically gifted...

The Arsenal U-21 v. Olympiakos Champions League match will be aired on tape-delay tonight on FSC @ 9pm ET.

Saw a couple of articles yesterday stating that Arsenal are bering linked to Pavlyuchenko. Any truth to that? Is Arshavin trying to sway him there or something?

There was a big article on espnsoccernet about him going to AS Roma. Anyway he's been a huge disappointment after the Euros. Guess it shows that he benefited from Arshavin.
