But is our season based on 38 games alone? Are the hopes and aspirations of a majority of fans based on the 38 games alone? Our UEFA co-efficient, our standing as a glogal brand, are they based on these 38 games alone??Originally Posted by ollie the optimist
I can't be bothered to go dig out posts from practically everyone (including yourself) on what you said after our first few months when we all thought any decent showing in the league had beeen sabotaged by our Commander-In-Chief, but lets not play that game, if we had eneded up finishing 6th and having a season like Chelsea, I doubt anyone wouldn't say that's at least AW's second greatest achievement, probably only bested by the unbeaten season.
Hazard joins a long list of "who we could have bought" playersARSENE WENGER admits Eden Hazard is the one player he would love to have signed if Arsenal had the money.
The Belgian superstar instead joined Chelsea for £32million after a tug of war with Manchester City, as Wenger’s two-year pursuit ended in frustration.
Wenger said: “Hazard we would have considered, yes. We were a long time on the case but there was such competition for him — Manchester City, Chelsea — and they fly a bit higher in the sky.
“I tried to sign him. Two years ago, we were in touch with Lille but they never wanted to sell then.
“He is a guy who has something special, as you have seen already.”
Hazard has made a spectacular start to his Blues career, with five assists in his first two matches — including winning two penalties — against Wigan and Reading.
One-time Gunners target Nuri Sahin now looks set to complete a season-long loan to Liverpool.
The Gunners were in the driving seat for the gifted Turkish midfielder but Wenger decided to turn down the chance to sign him as he wants a more defensive player after agreeing to sell Alex Song to Barcelona.
Wenger added: “If we wanted to sign Sahin, we would have done it.
“Sahin is a quality player but he is not a purely defensive midfielder. We have Jack Wilshere coming back and he is a similar type of player.
“If someone top-top class turns up, completely defensive, then we will consider it.”

He doesn't do much but run at defences and dive at every opportunity from what I've seen so far.
Meh.
5 assists in 2 games seems pretty awesome tbf
Exactly what we needed
Won 2 penalties as well. Rightly i might add
Oh well, penny pinching wins out again
1 of his penalties was one of the most spectacular dives I've seen in a long time
Oh well, he managed to con the ref/linesman so job done I suppose.
And we didn't miss out on him through "penny pinching"
He chose to fuck off to the chavs.

Tbf we were never in for him cos he apparently cost too much
If we cant splash out £30m on a player once in a while then our finances must be FUBAR
What was the point of moving to a new stadium if not to compete with the big boys for big signings?
Well in hindsight, we'd say it was a silly move but i bet when it was thought off a diffrent idea would have been had. i do agree the move has cost us but its done now no point crying over spilt milk.
Yeah like we would have given him the 250 ga week chavs have.

Against a poor Wigan team and a promoting Reading team, Its not Awesome or Genius its what he should be doing, when he does it vs the big boys and not just once then say this. He is a good player and looks a good player for them.
More than Cazorla managed against a shit Sunderland team...
