 “It is quiet obvious to everyone apart from Arsene that Arsenal's defence is the problem and Yes Arsene you need a solid defence to win games. It's not all about attacking! Is Wenger in charge of the defensive training? He needs to get in a defence coach! He was blessed when he came to Arsenal because he already had the best back 4 and Keeper in the country! He added his flair players to the team that’s why it worked! He done very well in replacing Adams with Sol but apart from that some of the defenders he has bought are just as bad a the keepers he bought eg Luznhny, Stepanovs, Cygan, Senderos, Silvestre to name a few. Wenger legend of a manager but his stubbornness is getting in the way of Arsenal wining anything or even challenging.”  Derek Harris, Arsenal Mania Comments

 “You could have money, a lot of new players every transfer market, 10 first level strikers, a new manager or a beautiful stadium BUT when a football institution lost his identity it's has an effect on all Arsenal levels from the manager to the fans and specially the players. I think this bad situation it's because of the players, just if they could feel our shirt like we feel it, wake up every morning knowing you play for something big and even if you lost knowing you leave your soul in the field you can sleep calm...Do our players know what are they playing for?  Francisco Arsenal Mania Comments

 “Spurs defeat sill hurt like hell and this now! We lost beaucause we are rubbish as well as Bragga and the refs. You right Arsene, that should been a penalty and they did get the goal 11 vs 10. Bragga spent most of the night in their own half making them hard to break down. Those fifth officials are useless, what are they there for?” AllezArsenal The Sun Comments

“Someone needs to pay for this, who will it be? .... Villa .  step up" Tore The Sun Comments

 “Guys, just wanted to tease your minds on the performance of Cesc since the start of the season. His performance so far is way below par. His passing abilities has deserted him maybe ahead of him to the Nou Camp. I still maintain he should have been flogged last summer. “ Ghana4Life The Sun Comments

 “Obviously the non penalty decision had an influence on the end result of the match but as long standing Arsenal fan it is a major worry about how many goals we conceede from straight kicks down field after we have lost the ball in the opponents half. I know on occassions we have been chasing games but clearly having all your defenders so high up the pitch seems odd and the the spurs first goal at the weekend related to schoolboy stuff with everyone attracted to the ball and nobody sweeping behind.
With Steve Bould on the staff and Martin keown around there must be someone to drill in a better defensive shape when we have the ball.” Steve Reynolds Daily Mail Comments

 “Cesc Fabregas is a spent force, someone has to say it, we need a replacement for him as quickly as possible.  Wilshire is coming along nicely and Ramsey is back playing in the reserves but neither player is at the stage to take over. Fabregas has struggled this season with his form - hamstring after hamstring and now on the other leg, he has been a great servant to the club but enough is enough, a replacement needs to be found now and Fabregas needs to rest and recover and then be moved on. We have problems at Arsenal and although on the surface they look minor, really they are major, Bendtner, Eboue, Denilson, really need to move on, they upset the balance of the team.  If Arsenal are going to move forward these players need to go. Walcott? Now there’s a problem the lad is not an out and out winger he really needs to play central, but with the likes of our other strikers, it will be some time before he gets the nod perhaps a move would benefit him and Arsenal, we need talent in the team but we also need experience to go with it, which can only be by introducing players with the talents we need. Mr Wenger is opposed to spending the going rate for this kind of player so buys players from foreign leagues more in his budget, a false economy. Arsenal will remain a top half league team while they have their youth programmes working but major competitions will be won by other teams.”  Steve Palmer Sky Sports Comments

Ok so that’s it. Where do you stand? Again, I don’t even know what to expect Saturday. Comments please…..
