Obviously.... It's up to Birmingham to lose for us next saturday, then for Mourinho's mercenaries to fall to Wenger's warriors.

Oh, now Fab and Vieira aren't great together? Weeks ago they were the "best combination". Don't single out anyone for our poor form, how can 1 single player affect the whole team this drastically? If 1 player can do that, we're a one-man team. Are we? No. We're going through a bad patch right now, we're playing absolute bollocks football but that don't mean we're not gonna win anything this season.

We're the fans, fucking get behind the team, let Wenger figure out the problems.

COME ON YOU GUNNERS!

We always slump in November. 5pts behind is nothing. Chelsea were 5 pts behind and now they're on top. Arsenal can do the same thing.

I think it might be time to blend in some of the youngsters slowly. Wenger has TOO much faith on the first team. He should change it up a bit.

So you honestly think Manure have been shit all of last season because of Rio? If so, how come they're still behind us?

The team is just lacking the fighting spirit, I don't know why. Come on you fucking Gunners, wake up already. November's almost over as well..

I kinda agree. but in the middle of the park we've been unlucky with injuries. Perhaps we should think of playing 4-3-3 on Saturday?

Henry-Iceman-Reyes

Pirés--Vieira--Ljungberg

Then the usual

It'd give cesc a rest at least.

Ferdinand's absence contributed more than you think. It was not all down to him being suspended though, but if you look at the stats we were top of the table before his ban started, and the moment he wasn't available we started going down.

We are still behind you because of what happened to us earlier in the season with the injuries and suspensions.

Just 4 points behind you now, though. Are ya worried?:p

I'm more worried that the plague will come back to wipe out half the England's population to be honest.

Lehmann Fails To Save Arsenal

Since the 2-0 defeat at Old Trafford at the end of October, Arsenal’s poor run of form has been well documented.

However, while much of the blame apportioned has centred on Pascal Cygan’s poor performances and Sol Campbell’s absence, the lack of saves being made by goalkeeper Jens Lehmann makes very interesting reading.

In the nine-goal dramatics played out at White Hart Lane a fortnight ago, Lehmann made three saves but conceded four.

While in the other three games, all drawn, Arsenal’s opponents have managed to score with their only shots on target, leaving Lehmann without a single save in any of those matches.

13-Nov-04 Tottenham 5-4 3
6-Nov-04 Crystal Palace 1-1 0

Let's give that aluminium dude a chance at goal then.


Anyway, do any of you know what the usual capacity at Highbury was before they installed seats into the stadium in the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s etc? 60k, 70k, 80k? I'm stairing at this black and white aerial shot of Highbury packed with fans (don't know the exact date of the picture) as we speak and there's gotta be atleast 70 thousand folks crammed into the place, man.

There use to be standing areas in the stadium which is why they were able to cram so many people. And then there was an incident in Liverpool I think where supporters got crushed so they got rid of the standing areas.
