4-0 thumping! Yeah......it was close!! LOL!!

We let City off and got punished in a game we should have won. Adebayor showed why we sold him with his display of crowd taunting. If he played like that every week, Arsenal would never have sold him. Fair play to City, once they started hustling us we couldn't live with them, despite having a shot cleared off the line and RVP hitting the post. Not our day. Well done City ..............

Spidey: Seeing the pic for the moment & v. nice too - sure I've seen that one on PA !

The Admins are working on it - a couple of us mods have reported it....................please bear with us.

Funny enough, I was going to offer you the same deal after a night to sleep on my original prediction! 2-1 to Manure plus a side bet on Arsenal getting a penalty disallowed and one of our players diving!! 555!!! Seriously, it was a bad day at the office for us. We didn't deserve to lose.

Saturday's game v ManUre will be an acid test - I'm hoping it's a 1-1 draw but ManUre will be determined to prove a point after the Burnley debacle and turn us over! Any predictions from you Spidey?

Everyone's getting including us 'Mods'!! It's foxed me but I'll ask one of the Admins to take a look .........

Do not forget the Spurs? Why should I (or any Gooner) remember you lot? 555!!! Still, congrats on your good start ....... let see how long it lasts!! :D

Celtic seemed to lose their way and once the 2nd goal went in, their heads visibly dropped. Wenger seems to have given the boys their heads this term and they're responding like men. Even the likes of Denilson and Song seem to have grown up a bit during the summer. The Adebeyor, Toure & Eboue axis needed breaking up. The other lads like the young Song needed leadership. If Eboue follows Ade and Toure (who I was sorry to see leave) out the door then that's great. Eboue has long needed to be shown his P45. I think it'll be Chelscum's year for the Prem. We're still short of that defensive midfielder (I'm annoyed at Wenger letting Lorik Cana be snapped up by Sunderland for a measly £5m - unless he knows something about the player we don't). Cana would have been perfect for us. We also need a centre-half to cover for Gallas and Vermaelen who looks top class as you'd expect from an ex-Ajax player. Re: Arsene's plan with RVP and Arshavin I think you're right. Eduardo? We'll see.

Champions League: Celtic 0 - Arsenal 2 Two lucky goals for the Gooners but we were the better team overall ....... Discuss!

5555555555!! Spidey: Am I THAT predictable? 555!!! Anyway, we Gooners always have an opinion on our team and IMHO are usually better informed and less biased (unless we're on a wind-up or taking the p**s out of the Spuds!!) than most. Re: challenging for 4th spot, I agree that Villa and Everton will be in the mix and if Spurs can get their squad to gel, then they should be thereabouts. I don't read too much into the 6-1 win over Everton - it's all good for the goal difference and at the end of the day, it's just 3 pts for the win if you win 1-0 or 6-1. But it's a great start for us, good for our confidence - simply and a bad day at the office for Everton, who will improve. I think we can catch Liverpool for 3rd place now Alonso's gone (and if we can get the players we need - see below). Rafa will over-tinker with the team now Rick Parry is gone and mess it up. Chelsea are my bet for Champs in 2009-10. Re: Man City I think the jury is out. If Mark Hughes (and it's a BIG 'if') can get all of their new signings to work then they may also be in the mix for 4th spot. My view that it's a year early to be talking about City for the Champions League and he'll be out of work by Xmas/early New Year. The manager they really want is Mourinho but he has his sights on taking over at ManUre when Sir Alex retires. Re: Rosicky (and to a lesser extent, Eduardo) both of them are fit but after so long out, but they're both getting minor muscle injuries. It'll be another 4-6 weeks before they're both firing on all cylinders, provided they don't get any major knocks. Our squad is still a bit thin - IMHO we're still short at the back for another quality centre back as cover, a quality defensive central midfielder and a true out-and-out striker to replace Ade. I agree that Ade's time was up and it was time for him to leave but I was very disappointed to see Kolo go. But Tomas Vermaelen looked top class in his 1st game so maybe Kolo departure will be felt less. With Ade gone, Bendtner must step up to the plate. What do you think about our chances against the mighty Celts tomorrow? At Parkhead, they are a match for anyone in Europe........ I think we'll get a 1-1 or 2-2 draw and then finish the job at the The Grove. What's your view?

Calling all Gooner Addicts (and those who support other teams who have an opinion)! What do you think about Arsenal's prospects for the season? Is the 6-1 win over Everton a sign of things to come or a one-off? Will Cesc Fabregas stay? Who do we need to buy to strengthen the squad? Let's have your views!!

More info please - website link?

Good idea. I support this.

Arsenal will do fine - as we say at the Emirates, "Arsene knows". Who cares about the rest!! 555!!!
