Great reception for Diaby

bad2dabone

He's looking emotional. Diaby rings out around the ground. Fantastic.

cathalio11

I'd like to think that Diaby has 1 year on his contract and it could be his year to get a good 20 games in, 12/13 being very impressive.

Optimism.

Ozil been very poor, last 30 mins I have seen.

Looks isolated out on the left.

Will he ever be comfortable there?

HazDanz

We need someone stronger than Jenkinson when Sagna goes. He does not appear ready yet.

Jaysus I'm dreading the day Jenkinson become's our no.1 right back

Obviously he is not ready yet, but IMO he is already better offensively than Sagna - better and greatest variety of crossing.
But not a very steady defender yet, I think he will get there.

FFS lads it's his first start since December and he has only played 104 mins since then. He is still only 22 give him a good run in the team again and he will settle straight back in.

I do too think he will get there.

He would learn more from a more experienced full back coming in for another year or two.

If he is number one next year I would not be comfortable with the thought that our backline will be as consistent as they have been this season.

Not based off one game. Even when he was first team when Sagna was injured in the past he has been good but not solid. Need someone you can trust 100% will do a job next season if we like to think we will challenge for the league again.

what a goal from ramsey. If only he was fit most of the season. That could have been us celebrating the title

What me is the match on on Saturday lads?

For me he's very shaky at the back and you always see a mistake in him...In the 3 years time if he develops I would be more than glad...but for now I don't think he is ready...

Topbike77

Imagine, theres only 3 wins between us and the title. If walcott, ozil and rambo had of stayed fit ide say it would have comfortably been ours.
The season of what if...

yeah, too many ifs unfortunately. . .
Where is tayto to tell us once again about the inexcusable mistake of not buying anyone in January? (not that I disagree - at least not completely)

I know he's only one player but I think you're right. Look we only finished 7 points behind city. Despite all the talk of us collapsing we finished 3 behind Chelsea and 5 Liverpool. We're in a nice bit of form going into the cup final and I'm actually very confident we'll win it and complete a decent season.

It's great having next week to look forward to, can't wait

Topbike77

This was our best chance in a few years. All of the top teams got new managers and gained instability. Its going to be a lot harder next season.

Need to go and buy back up for those 3 now.

Pedro, Cesc, Martinez please.

If we buy right, keep Sagna it shouldn't be.

United are not going to be right for a year or two, Chelsea are going to be sacking Mourinho again and Liverpool who knows what to expect.

If Arsene doesn't address squad issues this summer, I hope he does the right thing and leaves next year.

Aw well onwards to next Saturday afternoon now! Let's lay this feckin X years without a trophy sh!te and then work on the League next year

ronjo

So other than City, only us and Hull can win a trophy.

Hopefully we can win the battle to see who has the second best season and lift Wengers 5TH FA Cup next Saturday.

And turning some of those loses to the teams above us to draws would have helped too as they too would have dropped points.

i really think next season we should play 10 man behind the ball away from home against these top teams

So glad they lost. i feel like going into their thread and having a giggle but on second thought no i dont want to go down their level

Think its just paper talk.

Think Wenger would only be interested in the kid if Podolski was leaving.

He was better than good he was so good in fact a lot of people were calling for him to keep his place over Sagna.

I honestly would have no problem is Jenks was our first choice RB next year, think he will prove a lot of people wrong much like Sczez and Ramsey have.

.jacksparrow.

If United weren't so bad it's interesting to think would we have got top 4?

Anyway can't wait for next week.

cathalio11

I'd like to add my weight to the Pro-Jenkinson debate. I think we need a strong right back to compete with him, but I would trust him playing at least 25 games next season.

still if Sagna leaves, we need to go out and buy a good right back.
We can't have just Jenks.

gandalf

LOL can't believe it but Garth Crooks has named Mertesacker in his team of the season. Hehe that must have hurt him considering some of the crap he writes about us!

Plus BFG is not "big friendly giant" it's "big fukin german!".

His positioning can be poor and he makes rash challenges.
He needs more time as he will be good but is not ready yet in my opinion.

If Fergie would have stayed on they would have won the league, he would have made one or two impact signings like Van Persie to keep them challenging.

We would probably not have made 4th, that's why this summer is so important.

extra gravy

Hope to be seeing this again next Saturday
