  1. Toure or Fibrelass should be captain definitely. We­ shouldnt have let Gilberto go, he was experienced and­ well liked in the club. Plus a great sportsman. No one­ had a bad word to say about the guy. I wish Arsene­ would just sometimes keep an older player for the good­ of the squad, Pires is another who shouldnt have been­ sold, just give them two more years before relying on­ the youngsters

  2. Henry was far from a good captain. he started well but­ began berating other members of the squad because HE­ didnt get a goal. He was a legend for arsenal and i­ love the guy, But once made captain he never played at­ his best again. He didnt get us to the Cham League­ final, the team as a whole did. What he did do though­ was fluff 3 guilt edge chances in that final, that he­ should have put away. He didnt step up to the mark in­ the final. Gallas shoud not be captain and should never­ have been captain, but his experience is very important­ for such a young team.

  3. Time and time again I will always say it out loud that­ William Gallas ha brougth a loadmof bad luck tyo my­ darling Arsenal squad.What i dont understand is why­ Wenger has to giv him d Captains band when there are­ better players already established in the team b4 his­ entry.We need a captain that can hold the ship aloft­ wen it seems to be sinking, a captain whose presence­ brews confidence, who can challenge the boys without­ talking and bring out d best in them.HENRYs influence­ took us to the UEFA final....

  4. Well Steven, J. What’s there to add to your insightful­ and totally accurate appraisal of England and Arsenal­ in particular, not much I fear. But it’s good and­ healthy that you get these feelings off your mind. I­ don’t believe that you’re complete cured though, I­ suggest that you extend the therapy for a year or two­ yet. Still a promising start.

  6. There are other long-serving members of the team who­ are capable. Gallas is just a nonsense,­ Non-Professional too.

  7. Nemesis has caught up with Arsenal. I don't blame­ anyone than Wenger. I wonder why he gave Gallas the­ captain ban in the first place. He wasn't the right­ choice after all he met some other big players­ there.

    It is so embarrassing for him to go out to the­ press and make sure comment about the team he is the­ captain. John Terry or Steven Gerrard will never do­ that. He should be stripped of that arm ban.

  12. Fellow adoring fans of the best Club in the world ,Our­ dear Arsenal let us rein -in our emotions and encourage­ our players to return to the desired unity of purpose.­ Paul Parkr may have his opinion but please let him keep­ ot to himself. In the middle of this storm we dont need­ comments which would further polarise the team. Arsene­ should show the stuff he is made of and employ all­ tactics in the bppks to enable these young men embrace­ peace. Meanwhile may I use this medium to wish our­ sleekiest player on yhe right flank, Theo Walcota­ speedy recovery and same goes for Adebayo. We are­ hopeful of a silverware only in the unity of the team.­ I beg you Van Persie accept the need to allow peace to­ reign in the squad.We know your worth and we are­ praying for you thanks.

  13. Parker is absolutely right.
    Who does Gallas think he­ is.
    He has got no right to question anyones commitment­ after the way he has behaved in the past i.e. turning­ your back to goal when the opposition has a penalty and­ behaving like a spoilt brat.
    Most of the Arsenal­ youngsters have more maturity and skill than Gallas­ could ever dream of having and his latest outburst is­ just yet another petulant rant from a tallentless­ primadonna.

  15. Well after seeing what he said about the gunners­ disunity, maybe it would be good for someone to be able­ to better unite them, but then again he was a good­ captain, and it does take 2 to dance....
