Official Arsenal FC Thread

In case you all didn't hate him completely yet.

Here's a reminder.

• “People at Arsenal tried to make out that I came here for the money,” he said to French TV channel TF1.
  
• “I hope they are watching me now, collecting my Premier League
  winner’s medal. I believe they have not won a trophy for many years
  now.
  
• “If all that I was interested in was money, the easiest decision
  would have been to stay at Arsenal, picking up my money every week and
  walking into the team.
  
• “There are many people doing this right now at Arsenal.
  
• “I made the hard choice to come and fight for my place at a big
  club, where they never settle for second best, and I have proved it
  correct.
  
• “I now hope the Arsenal fans can get on with their lives and forget
  me, they should celebrate their third-place achievement and I will focus
  on winning titles.”
  
• - Nasri
  

Not bothered by what Nasri says. To be so disrespectful it just shows he is bothered by the stick he's been getting and feels the needs to retaliate.

Wow.

Podi and Van Persie will make him eat those words next season

Van Persie be like fuck yehhh... Serie A INNNN.

Well he's got a point as far as moving to City was the best move for him, better team and more money.

He's a bit harsh but with the stick he's got it's understandable.

okay.

Okay.

Can't blame him for reacting when that moron Frimpong spouts the shit he does. He did win a title, can't argue with that, and to do so would be futile









































Still a cunt

podol by arsenalist

I don't even know which part of that I'm supposed to copy and paste in the address bar.

Sounds good.

The podolski interview is embedded.

Podolski has a good mean voice, and he is passionate. So hopefully if he yells ferocious german insults at Ramsey consistenly, he will up his game out of fear

Ramsey doesn't need to up his game.

Just needs to learn to stay out of the final third or shoot. Doing either would make him so much better, but he's too thick.

I disagree, he always seems that split second too late to do everything he attempts.

Also, watching him and Walcott trying to string together passes is enough to make a Darwinist campaign out of

Walcott and Ramsey on the pitch at the same time

Agree with all of this.

He had the choice of better clubs and Man U, money was a main factor

Walcott's passing has improved to be fair to him. He works much better when he cuts inside and lets Sagna/Coquelin/Jenkinson make some overlapping runs. Thing with Walcott though is that he often isolates himself playing very wide, and when he receives the ball, he seems to be too scared to run at the opposition full backs nowadays.

He should be looking to cut inside whenever he can and link up more with our central players because his off the ball movement is very underrated.

Gervinho cuts inside with ....some effect and has been this whole season, I don't get how Walcott hasn't noticed this. Especially considering he's been playing with Sagna for a few years, he knows that Sagna should be the wide man, his crosses are better after all. By cutting in he obviously gives more space to Sagna, which gives him more time to pick out a ball

Hopefully he will learn..

I've lot tremendous respect for Nasri since he left. He's in denial if he thinks it wasn't about money. Nasri was hardly a factor in City winning the league and he makes it seem like him going there is a reason they won. He started off well but after the opening of the season he was average at best. I see that Van Persie is linked with City. If Arsenal lose Van Persie I just might have to burn my allegiance to the club, because we will truly be a feeder club if this happens.

We was a better force when Walcott came off the bench. Back then he'd come off and put in that work in running at defenders and using his pace. Now he hardly uses his pace as much as before and struggles to get passed players unless they're dreadful i.e. Mesbah.

Teams have adjusted to Walcott, his speed isn't as much of a benefit as it once was. No one is surprised by it now. He has improved facets of his game, but he still isn't where he should be in my opinion.

If Ramsey could shoot he would have been in double figures for goals this season. His positioning going forward is superb but he just can't finish.

More proof the away kit will be that purple one.

Technique and touch.

What color are the shorts that go with that?

Probably Green.
