It's just a hangover from the past when we were a serious football club. The media will always write about the big boys, they had a field day with Rooney and turned the whole thing into a circus. Don;t worry, pretty soon they will be treating us like THFC and not mentioning us at all because they'll be too busy concentrating on the big boys.

Not a problem. We have Gibbs. I suppose the only downside is the way Gibbs has collapsed and gone backwards over the last two seasons. He seems to be injured all the time too, but I think we should wing it rather than find a quality replacement. If that decision inevitable comes back to haunt us we can just say we were unlucky. All is well it seems.

When that happens, it'll be best to get as far away from football as possible. Go transatlantic, or something. Somewhere where no-one has even heard of that fat dirty chav Wayne Rooney who's become England's richest sportsman.
I've said in a separate thread that my anticipation for this coming season is thin. It'll probably be my final summer where I look forward to football starting in August. A number of factors have made me lose my interest in the once beautiful game.

Why are we signing 16 year olds and promising them first team football???!!! We need EXPERIENCED players who are not "promising youngsters" but battle hardened professionals who can cope playing a whole season in a competitive league. Moreover, our priority should be central defence, midfield and forwards, not right back.
Wenger's lost the plot.
Latest rebuilding? He's been rebuilding since 2005 and has failed.And the Gunners have already lined up 16-year-old Hector Bellerin - another product of the Barca academy - to start Arsene Wenger's latest rebuilding project.
Nice to see he's still obssessed with signing kids and spends his time look at them rather than finding world class talent, the guy has clearly got his priorities right, no waiting period for these kids I see either.
lol @ wenger thinking he'll be here in 3-4 years.
we sold Bellerin smoke, as they say in spain.
Another classic case of Wenger never learning from his mistakes
