Need City to get a result there big time to relieve the pressure.

I dunno, if they beat City it makes third more likely for us. Let Everton drop points elsewhere. I'm pretty confident we'll win our 3 games now anyway.

Great to see Ozil and Ramsey back today and the Arsenal side of 2013 , played some nice football Podolski has to be kept this summer ok maybe not start every game but a player who is as clinical as he is should always fight tooth and nail to hold onto.

With Newcastle's form, I'm not too worried about next weekend.

Don't think like that, knowing Padrew and his dislike for us, he be out to get his team back on track agaisn't us. Since selling Cabaye they really have hit rock bottom.

Lads we should all meet up watch the match in a pub FA Cup final

Well the mercantile in Dublin will be full of gooners for the final. Plan on heading in myself.

We are in for a tough few weeks now to get 4th spot. Everton right behind us, and I thought that United would give them a bit of difficulty. Was very pleased with the result today. Well done Arsenal.

better them behind us than us behind them.
Didn't see the game, just watched the goals.
Looks like Ramsey was involved in all 3 and Özil in the first 2, right?
Feeling much more comfortable with these two back in. And it also sends a message for the cup final (though we can come back on this in due time).

Also, regardless of his rather mediocre performance all year long, I will like Podolski to stay. He is such a clinical finisher.

It will be the easiest 3 points you'll get this season.

I can't put into words just how awful we are right now. Relegation fodder for next season if things remain the way they are.

Thought united would get us something today but more fool me, they are rubbish. Wouldnt be surprised if they did a leeds in the next few years if moyes stays.

Their finances are in a far better shape than Leeds were. But they will find the acquisition of the type of player they need to be contenders difficult without Champions League football to lure them with.

Seems like their gonna spend stupid money this summer though and the Glaziers have them in a hole, i really wouldnt be shocked. Nothing in football surprises me anymore

Bit of a toothless performance from Arteta there.

Why are allot of people in here so keen on Ballotelli?

Proven goal scorer, young, potentially world class in a few seasons and also could actually be gettable.

True who else is possible, maybe offer Costa a much bigger salary then Chelsea?

Not likely.

That's the trouble, with Chelsea after Costa he's not an option anymore imo. If we go after him we'll probably miss out and it would be last summer all over again where Suarez turned our heads when we should have been sealing the deal with Higuain.

Offer him Rooney money and we'd get him, not sure he'd be worth it though.

Its great to have Ramsey and Ozil back. They make such a difference to the attack, its like watching a different team to the one weve been watching for most of this year.

For next season we need to have more players around them to help them with the attack and fill in when they are rested because rotation is the key to having a strong team for the run in imo.

1. Hopefully Wilshere can push on next season and learn from Ramseys progression this year.

2. Sign someone in the Bender mold who has plenty of legs to play alongside Ramsey in midfield.

3. More pace from the wide areas. Hopefully Walcott can recover fully from his injury but I hope were not relying on him for pace next year.

4. I think we need to look at the full back slots and improve on the players we have from an attacking sense. Watching Coleman and Baines for Everton today and they were brilliant, such an attacking threat. If Sagna leaves, we should be looking for someone who can provide us with this threat imo.

With all the stories that the Barcelona fans want him out, would you take him back if we had first option?

It proves the grass wasn't greener for him at "home", I'd have him back as this season has proven you can never have a strong enough midfield. I think we could get him as we'll if we really wanted but I'd rather spend the €30m plus it would take to get him on a striker though

Yup think we were his real home after all tbh. Can you imagine a midfield of him, ramsey and Ozil just infront of that? Strikers wet dream. Ya think he could sit in the Xavi role with Ramsey doing box to box? With Ozil as the #10 or is that way too attacking?

Ha ha we would really need a Gilberto clone playing in that team

Probably. Sure would be exciting though!

Id take him back in a flash though. You cant have enough world class players.

Take fabs back and rotate with Santi.

I would love to see him back at the club.

Alfred Borden

Just couldnt say no to world class players, think we could get him for 25 million as well. He is a winner too, can never have enough of those. One of a handful of a handful of arsenal players in recent years i actually trust and believe if they turn up we will win.

Alfred Borden

Booed as he comes on there, Barca fans are so ungrateful.

Aparently theres only 30k there tonight aswell. More than a club alright.

Glory hunters. One team i really dont mind seeing the collapse of.

tayto lover

AND Cesc has goals in him.
Right Arsene just go and bring him home.

liam7831

With their transfer embargo though, doubt we can get him?

Alfred Borden

I remember that GeoffArsenal saying last summer that we would have a great chance this summer if this year didnt go well for him. Its gone worse than that and with his child in London, its so a logical move. Wengers favourite player imo

They have already appealed it and I can see it being overturned to a fine or something like that.

But obviously if it isnt, Cesc is going no where.

Thought it was only players in? Unlikely to sell if they can't replace though.

TimeToShine

Where would Fabregas fit? I'd like him as much as the next person but if he's our big name signing instead of a striker or DM I won't be too happy!

He could always go on strike...


:pac:

bad2dabone

I'd love him back. If he ended up at United it would finish me.

Walcott Ramsey Ozil

I know its terrible to say but if him and a top striker was brought in i could get over not bringing in a DM. Let him sit and rambos engine and we should be ok. Fabregas not afraid to throw a tackle in either.

Turtwig

Cesc would be nice for you guys but if you were to take a Barca player I'd have to say take Pedro and Busquets.

You badly need a DM and a Pedro type player along with Theo would give ye ferocious pace. Currently if theo get's injured ye're pace on the counter and in attack in general gets hampered greatly and teams can afford to play a higher line against ye and compress the midfield.
