So excited about our prospects I could, simultaneously, crush a grape, rip a tissue, jump off a doll's house and wrestle an Action Man. God willing, I will be there (at home, natch) to view England's conclusion to the whole Brazilian Love-Affair, in the correct fashion.

We're getting as bad as the Americans at faining butthurt over any perceived racism. I know the press are always hell bent of sabotaging the national football team in any way possible but this shit is rediculous.
Although it may have been worth it just to see this header in the paper ???The anti-racism group Kick It Out has called on the Football Association to investigate a joke about a monkey in space". Fucking Brass Eye level idiocy that is.
1. It's our turn
2. We deserve it
3. We INVENTED the fucking game
4. All the other teams are cheating foreign divers
5. Playing with all those Johnny Foreigners in EPL made our players world class - FACT
Thanks for that, bassie, and no, I hadn't seen it. Even for a non-Gooner like me, that was an entertaining read.
Whilst I concede that a fully-functioning, scarily resurgent Arsenal is probably a good thing for the Prem generally, I am not looking forward to us facing them at the Emirates in a couple of weeks.
Thanks Bassie, that was a great read. In professional sport, Arsene Wenger is perhaps the ultimate aesthete. Fans and neutrals alike are, I think, aware that they may be witnessing something special... this crazy batshit guy might finally have his moment. I have always liked Arsenal under Wenger, and as the article says the Henry-era Invincibles were awesome to watch but it wasn't until he tore apart that team (I mean c'mon, who else would do that FFS!) and started from scratch that I would really call myself a Gooner. You're not a fan if you don't know suffering.
Good to see Arsene smiling for a change.
Suffering = consistent top 4 for about 20 years? :NO:
Getting tantalisingly close to things is I think worse than not even getting your hopes up (see England wc expectations).
Dortmund gave Arsenal a nice reality check on Tuesday. Won't achieve anything without ironing out the errors, and their strike rate of 2 goals from 3 shots on target for a full 90 mins was clinical.
doesn't the excitement about Arsenal every season only last until february? Granted they look better this year than they have for a while, but I think they need to bulk up their squad a bit in the winter window to be able to challenge for trophies. Lots of options in midfield, but what about strikers and defenders?

Who is the supposed dude to be upset on a 'feed the monkey' tip?
I'll guess at Baines, he looks like he's a bit chippy.
I reckon that anyone after the source of the leak can quite comfortably rule out the following people;
i) Anyone who isn't related to Harry Redknapp.
ii) Anyone whose first name isn't Frank.
iii) Anyone whose second name isn't Lampard.

This is preposterous. The Prince of Darkness at his best.
L'Arse were amazing. Ramsey, in the words of Lineker and Hanson (no doubt through gritted teeth), was Zidanesque at times. Can't embed, but @ 10 mins in this beeb clip you get a taste: http://www.footytube.com/video/arsenal-norwich-city-oct19-237144
Arsenal have an embarrassment of riches in midfield now - Oxo-Chamberpot, Cazorla, Rosicky, Arteta, Flamini, Gnarby, Wilshire, Ramsey and Ozil!

C'mon u lions!
Lucky it wasn't a seat

HAVE YOU EVEN HELD AN INFLATABLE BANANA?
DON'T ANSWER THAT.

ZLATAN!
or is it his shitheadedness that makes him play as spectacular as he does?
plaese to write about shitheadedness and its influence on football.
As a Bayern fan I'm sure he could go on all day ;-)
