  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. From Yomi Idowu Nigeria

  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....
