		<description>great article,

don't be put off my a minority of morons,

I've been banned from a certain blog for politely suggesting that their slagging off of certain players and the manager was a bit ott,

we would be better off without the kind of fan that boos his own players, that doesn't support the team properly, they should go and support Chelsea,

keep it up,

		<description>oh man I can't believe a post was dedicated to me! Cheers Jammathon, you speaketh the truth as always. Just moping round the various blogs at a stupidly late hour trying to find something to make me feel even a little better after what I've just watched and you've managed to do it. Not by feeding my ego, just by making sense as usual. To those who think there are too many nasty things like 'words' on this blog I suggest you subscribe to Junior Gunners magazine, it should have lots of lovely pictures for you, perhaps even a colour-in one of the Gunnersaurus!
 So Jammathon, keep trying to post whenever you get the chance and good luck with the other stuff that's keeping you busy.

Wonder if we could rig any online polls to get Bacary Sagna voted Man of the Year...?</description>

		<description>Agree with you on most of it mate and glad to have you back.  I've been supporting Gallas and Ade on my blog as well through all of the bashing.  Eboue really is crap though.  Not blaming him for all of our poor results by any means but I feel Walcott has to be a better option at this point.  

Players of the Season for me are Adebayor, Sagna, and Flamini.  Let's hope we pull it off tonight.  Up the Gunners!</description>

		<description>Great article.

Contrary to what that dickhead of a man JamJam commented previously, this kind of article just makes me and a lot of other people love arsenal and football even more. We can do this, our boys may not seem to be 'good enough' to so many people who think they are apparently more qualified than Wenger, sure everyone's entitled to their own opinions but right now it is the boss's word that counts most. Wenger, to my delight, has proved us wrong so many times before, let's hope he does it again tomorrow. We can win this thing, we can beat Liverpool, and we will have a successful season.

Come on you red and whites!!!!!</description>

		<description>YESSSSS......sell Eboué, PLEASE!!!
The other thing that this season has shown us is that the squad isn´t big, or strong enough. Whenever you look at our substitute´s bench you don´t see any match-winner there; no-one who can turn the game around.  Whereas Man Utd and Chelsea have benches packed with genuine first-team players.
We have, supposedly, in excess of 70 million pounds in the transfer kitty and even though Arsène doesn`t like spending money on players or their wages surely we can afford 3 or 4 good ´uns for that money?</description>

		<description>Although a little wordy, some of the stuff you've mentioned is so close to the truth it's unreal. This has caused me to actually post a reply to a blog.

Eboue's has complete ON and complete OFF games, although still fails to be a goalscoring winger.

Gilberto, although has been dire in past games this season, had an amazing game on Sat.

Senderos, pretty solid at the back, his current form is very good and doesn't deserve any slating he currently gets.

Adebayor, the ego did really get the better of him after his scoring run. Started demanding everything go through him, whinging to other players about service when sometimes it was his own fault (his first touch), etc. But in recent games he's started going back to his old self, working extremely hard for the team in the opposition's half of the field. He's even been crossing the ball in quite a lot in the past few games?

Gallas, I also saw the whole 'sulking-on-pitch' thing as a positive thing. Ridiculing other players on the pitch was inexcusable, but I'm the whole thing has made him realise he needs to be stronger emotionally as a captain.

Hleb, awesome season but does really need to take his scoring opportunities when he gets them. Still has a habit of passing the ball to play someone else in when he is in the perfect scoring position. On Sat, I recall one chance, towards the end(?) where he took it to his left from a cross, when one on one with Reina.

The other players:

Almunia - awesome form lately.
Clichy - the difference between Traore (who had a good game by all accounts) was like night and day. Crossing was 10x better.
Fabregas - some usual very high standard passing, but the odd dodgy ball is occuring.
Flamini - obviously top stuff from him in recent games
Van Persie - quite obviously NOT match fit
Bendtner - what on earth was he doing with that back heel (or whatever it is), else had a really good game on Sat, getting into good positions with some good passing. Think he and Adebayor should start tomorrow
Walcott - Awesome recent form, not sure why the rest of the team seemed to have against passing to him on Wednesday? He made good space for himself and was constantly calling for the ball, yet the other players just seemed to ignore him and play an illogical ball that resulted in a loss of possession. A truely good winger who should be starting every game. Pace, ability and goalscoring.

Saturday was a game we should have won. The time Gerrard and Torres were on, they still posed a threat and had some half chances, but it just seemd like the players had tactically sorted Liverpool's little system (of Gerrard and Torres) out.

Tomorrow will be a tough game but Arsenal always seem to come out on the crunch games. It's just the REALLY crunch games that's the question :p</description>

		<description>Mike???

Flamini not good enough???

Are you tripping???

Him, Cesc and Hleb have been our best players this season. And I'd be surprised if he's not in the "all star" team at the end of the season.

And whereas you definitely have the right to criticise players, what you have to remember is that no team is unbeatable (yeah ok, apart from that team, but even they lost after 49 games). Your time would be much better spent cheering the team on and discussing our problems than shouting about how AW gets it constantly wrong!!!

Saying that....How did Wenger get it wrong on saturday? Yes Traore and Hoyte aren't the greatest players in the world, but what was he gonna do???

The one thing that saturday did show is that the depth of our squad probably hasn't come on this season. Players like Hoyte and Traore have stayed at the same level as last seaosn and not progressed as much as we'd all hoped.</description>

		<description>Good article.

I've said on a few blogs recently that some of the so called "fans" of Arsenal are what comes from our team being so successful and becoming a world class club. 

Most of the fans that demand silverware, whether league title, Champs League or FA cup can't have been fans for very long. There seems to be a lot of people who expect us to win something every year. This becomes harder what with the Premiership competition becoming harder. And when you take into account the spending power of the other "top 3" clubs.... We're guaranteed nothing.

As long as we play the great football that Wenger has us playing then the silverware will eventually come.

Moving on to tomorrow.... I think we'll get through. Everyone in the media will have you think that going to Anfield and getting a result is impossible. Is it anymore impossible that winning in the San Siro? Or the Bernabeu? No I don't think it is.

Our team are knackered. I almost wish that United would've won yesterday (well not really, but you know what I mean!) as then the title would've been pretty much gone and we could concentrate on winning the CL. 

My other problem is that what with the Euro Champs coming up at the end of the season players like Cesc, Flam, Gallas et al aren't gonna get a decent rest before next season.

Sorry for the long post there El Tommo, I'm sure you have more exciting things to read about, Twat!!!</description>

		<description>Mike I agree and commend you for your comments. We do have the right to critisize. When we spend money on a shirt as small as it is, we are investing money into the club we love. We are also investing our health. God know I have probably lost a few months of my life these last few weeks. I think the problem is not the critisism but hate. Yes a lot of Arsenal comments I have read lately reak of hate towards our boys. I dont care what I think of him but when he pulls on the red and white he is given a new opportunity to shine for us. Support the team not the result! 
BTW! Flamini not good enough? If Cesc, Ade and Hleb had his energy we would be winning more.</description>
