Arsenal fan in peace,

wondering what you have thought of the prem so far as a whole, you've not had a good start, but do you think you'll get back on track soon? or do you think this will carry on?

also the January window at the moment looks to be your hope of salvation, so do you think you'll spend big with this talk of £100?

last point, from an outside perspective I think you need a clear out, my list would be (correct me if i'm wrong or you disagree)

lindegaard, buttner, evra, anderson, nani, young, valencia and fletcher.

we did this in the summer with greater numbers, and the positive is, whenever we put a team out we are confident that they can do the job, with a few additions obviously (some german guy.)

not going to lie, its good seeing you struggle, but its horrible seeing liverpool in a good position.

Lol welcome to a real page mate.
Now please tell me these quality additions other than Ozil?
We will be on track soon enough mate dnt u worry. This season will be interesting I must sau

What makes me laugh is how the vast majority of arsenal supporters all of a sudden, after 6 games have gone from wenger out to title candidates, i'm not saying you won't be up battling for 1st spot but at least judge it after more than 6 games. i'd say your list of players to oust is pretty accurate although I still think valencia can do a job for the team.i think in january we will bring in 2 players, a left back and a midfielder.

We'll get back on track yes, by christmas we will be top 4 I have no doubt. I don't think January will be major tbh, I think we may try and get a creative player but that will be it in my eyes. Your list of players is quite accurate but I would add Ferdinand as he will go and it depends on Fletchers latest comeback bid. If it fails this time I don't think he'll carry on.

I would add that you have started well but I think you'll end up 4th, your depth isn't good enough if you get a few injuries. As I have stated previously my prediction this season is City, Chelsea, United, Arsenal/Spurs, Liverpool in that order. Good result for you last night though.

Keep Nani & Fletcher. Rest can go.

I think Arsenal have started on fire. Playing beautiful football. The kind of swash buckling style that people generally associate with United. So congratulations on that ya! I would much rather want Arsenal to win rather than the dippers/bitters/Chavs.

The only thing you might want to guard against is your form tailing off. The winning mentality and the grit is something that I think Arsenal of recent seasons has lacked.

By the way Oezil has been a brilliant addition. Given you guys a huge lift!

Deeps.

We do need a clear out, that much is true

But Arsenal as always don't have the squad depth to carry them through the season.

A quality signing as Ozil is, he can't carry you through every game

Chris, I never said we signed anyone quality, I just said a few additions, but ozil and flamini have both been fantastic.

I agree with most of you that you won't take long to be back up there, it's half the battle having the quality but knowing how to get up there and win titles is something you can't buy. United have always known how to do it while I've been alive.

Agree with you re the clear outs. Finding replacements at the prices Woodward wants to pay will be more difficult.
Arsenal have been very good to watch and I think they will be there or there about come the end of the season.
I am sure our form will pick up once our manager starts playing with the right team, personnel and tactics.

Credit where credit is due, love the way you guys play football and Wenger is a top manager. Your list of clear outs is spot except Valencia, I would add Ferdinand to that list.

If it's any consolation RVP transformed our season last year and carried us to the title and maybe Ozil and Ramsey will do the same for you guys this year.

cheers,
