Well spoken captain,
We u own up to a fault n accept responsibility for a problem, it fills u wit a certain emptiness n all u wanna do is maKe up for it or at least ensures there’s no repeat of such.
Mr Arsene n d board should learn from this.
Not even 4trophies in may can erase dis disgrace, bt a 10-0 whitewatch of swansea (wit 2 debutant “super quality” might b a start.
A fall does not kill a man, but wen he refuses to pick himself up, his failure is established.
Arsenal, I believe, wil bounce back from this stronger.
This is exactly d wake up call that the club needs( loud enough dat deaf Arsene, Evan “Gladis” n d rest of d board will hear) to act.
“Whenever a man wakes, his morning starts” (African proverb), it time for the sleeping giant of the EPL n indeed Europe to indeed arise n live out its potentials, fifil it’s destiny n b counted amongst d elite n supreme(n perenial) contenders.
Gunners n gooners, hence d humiliation did not kill us(save for d fan(s) who committed suicide),
I wanna believe it will only make u stronger.
God help us.

Arsenal’s young players need to learn from Man U. There were plenty of young players in red on Sunday but they were simply hungrier. Arsenal played quite well for part of the games and even managed to score twice. But the back 4 all looked lost. Why did the Arsene picked up Jenkinson who looks more lost then Senderos?

And also another lesson to learn from Man U is never stop scoring. I have seen in the past when Arsenal has chance to score more in a game, when the opponent has given up defending, they just stop. Or worst, give up valuable points like the 4-4 draw last season. At the end, goal difference could be a deciding factor. And it also give confidence to those who scores, even if it’s the 7th or 8th goals. I am sure Rooney wouldn’t mind keeping the match ball, and Young were delighted with his 2 goals.

The more I read, the more I am starting to believe that Arsenal have trouble attracting the top talent because of their wage structure. Why come to Arsenal for 90,000 a week when you can double your wages at Al Qaeda FC, eh Na$ri?

I realize that there are financial fair play rules coming down the pipe, but unless it amounts to the hard salary caps professional sporting leagues have here in the US, it seems that there will be ways around what Michel Platini is proposing.

Let’s take a look at what Sir Alex did this past summer. He bought De Gea, Young, and Jones for 57.7 million euros. All three are clearly impact players as they showed this past weekend. Arsene spent 28 million euros on Gervinho, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Joel Campbell, and Carl Jenkinson. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain cost us 13.8 million while Young cost Utd 18 million. For another 4.2 million, we could have had a proven premier league player in Ashley Young, who would have been ready to contribute immediately, but his salary of 120,000 a week is too much. I’m not sure if he would have even considered an offer for 90,000 a week, and that’s the point. We’re stuck betting on youth for lower salaries because of the club wage structure, and when they don’t pan out (like Denilson) we can’t give them away because the 60,000 a week they’re making with Arsenal is too much.

The wage structure needs to change is Arsenal is to compete.
