we are happy by the current performance of the gunners. i thought they are much better than previous year. keep it up!
only 6??????
could it be this year that arsenal are the first senior club to score double figures in one match for long enough - they've been threatening this for a while - mind you they've been threatening to win trophies for some time!!!
thanks to Mr. Bould and Arsene Wenger. please you have to keep the performance on. you have good talented boys. involve every member of arsenal squod as we look forword to having a bright year.Go on gunners
this is arsenal team of the decade we expect more Big up wenger and the boys, welcome to Tanzania
To all my friends who have loyally stood by this great team, I want every one out there to watch this space. This is the Asenal we have all along known. Thank you Wenger, thank you Asenal.
I just think Wenger is still the greatest coach in the world. He knows who to buy and who plays where in the team. Thank you Arsene I believe we are headed for some trophies this season.
And to think that we even missed a penalty!
Trophy hungry Gunners, take all you can this year! To shut mouthes of haters and ex-players. great score! Happy for Giroud to finally finding the net. This Arsenal team looks much stronger than in previous years with RVP, Cesc and Nasri included. Seriously, how is it possible, they were good but something was wrong with other team players. I think they were in shadow. Now, everyone scores, fantastic Arsenal!!! Up Gunners!!!
Can arsenal maintain this momentum even after loosing the 1st game esp premier league game???? I don't think so
Well for all you gooners doubting Arsene - this is what its all about. Who else could have put a team together on zero budget and then field a team of substitutes that are absolutely devastating. We were too reliant on RVP and I think he was masking some of the great talent in the team. So for Nasri, RVP and the other complainers - eat this 6-1
this arsenal team is becoming very clinical.... happy once we are scoring no matter who is scoring....
We'll beat totnum flopspurs by this same scoreline.
nice
Well it had been predicted by the "big Gun in Liberia and so shall be and remain. Gunner for life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[cough] 6-1?! Who's RVP???
Go on the Arsenal!!!
could it be that the #$%$ need to win a cup
i thought arshavin gone to Russia. Is he back with arsenal
This isn't commentary! I's a joke! so far behind and no clue as to what is going on! Than F*** I have sky!
