It's not bad to pick out the bad points in a players game, but you seem to just be doing it to Gallas, over and over, while loads of other players make mistakes themselves. Also you seem to forget about the good stuff Gallas does on the field.

If you're going to find the faults in people, then you also have to look at the good.

What good? If his bad loses games what does it matter what he does that is "good"? Besides, what is the good that he does? Something that Djourou or Senderos can't do? Even Song playing CB along with Vermaelen would be better than Gallas

Ferdinand has made two serious mistakes, in his last couple of games, does that mean he is lalalala?

Gallas has the experience, positioning and speed over the players you have just listed. He also is strong and scores vital goals for us when needed.

The Gunners Are Cumin!

No, I don't own a season ticket, but I think the price for one would be in the region of £1150-£1300.

We have been conceding goals in the last few games, against AZ, Birmingham, Blackburn, and Gallas and Vermaelen are not gods who can keep out every attack and help us get a clean sheet every game. We don't know how many more goals we would concede if we compromise Gallas for another defender, especially that non-existent world-class young centre-back which we can afford, which you always want to buy.

Then nobody believed me when Bendter clearly played a right midfield role with Arshavin in front of him. And after that it was claiming Eboue played a right striker role on Tuesday! LOL

/prepares to have the revisionist historians try and say it wasn't Gallas and he is perfect he never makes mistakes

Is anyone else seeing a recurring pattern? Everytime a goal goes in our net it's ALWAYS Gallas's fault. When Willam got hurt toward the end of last season and we started conceding more goals I guess that was his fault also because he didn't come off he physio table to play defense while hurt.

This guy is a joke, I don't know why any of you even bother responding to anything he says.

It's pretty pricey, but its that way for pretty much any club, but your top tier clubs it will always be expensive.

who said they were gods? the problem with Gallas is he gets lazy, and is too old and slow to go a full 90. His mistakes are not trying too hard but just messing up, his mistakes are NOT MARKING AT ALL and backpedaling into the goal guarding nobody, leaving the opposing team wide open to score. I would much rather see a younger player in there like Djourou when he gets healthy, or Song. And go after Hangeland in January. You can't win a trophy with Gallas making mistakes at crucial times in a match. Vermaelen has to make up for Gallas' mistakes, its only a matter of time before he gets sick of it like Toure

AriseForLife · 24-10-2009, 04:28 AM

That shows how prejudiced you are towards him. Toure made more than his share of mistakes last season and was the healthy one when we were conceding goals form set pieces towards the end of last season when Willaim wasn't even playing.

y0daddyalex · 24-10-2009, 07:37 AM

no prejudice here, Toure was not at fault for most mistakes that cost goals. Also having a new partner makes it difficult to play well together and know who is going to play who. That is why the sooner a replacement is in there to work with Vermaelen the better. Gallas' contract is up, if Wenger resigns him I think it would be a big mistake

chemicalrubber · 24-10-2009, 11:36 AM

I think we'd rather have ten trolling Celtic fans in here than a yodaddyalex.

Do the math, which defensive combination will ultimately lead to us conceding less goals and winning matches? Surely not Senderos, who can't concentrate for nuts! The few mistakes leading to goals Gallas makes surely is fewer than the number of goals against he would have saved. You always manipulate the situation to make it seem that Gallas is always at fault. Next time we may as well sell Arshavin or Fabregas because they missed a one-on-one and play Silvestre and buy back Cygan and play them at central defence.

efterklang · 24-10-2009, 04:13 PM

He's not going to change his mind about Gallas so I don't know why you lot even bother with him. He's incredibly stubborn.

This is why noone (myself included) think you know a thing about Arsenal or football for that matter. The things you say make absolutely no sense whatsoever. I am done even replying to your idiotic posts because you're to blind to see anything outside of your own convoluted point of view.

Good luck to you.

Forget him, he's a joke, we all know it.

Any predictions on the scoreline today?

I nearly got our team right, Eboue is in for Eduardo, but other than that, that is our squad.

st3adman · 25-10-2009, 07:29 PM

If our players are now going to slip into a habit of getting over-confident and switching off, with only a 1 or 2 goal lead, then I don't even need to watch the rest of the season to find out what happens

We will never win the PL by sitting back in games with less than a 3 goal lead. Our team is getting too over-confident for their own good, and I really hope Wenger see's sense and starts coming down hard on them.

I think this has proved we need a player like Vieira, just to kick some sense into any player who stops giving 100% at any point in the match, absolutely disgraceful.

Makoun · 25-10-2009, 07:48 PM

Good first half performance but shameful second half performance. Mannone should've dealt better with that free kick instead of knocking it back into Cole. Song didn't need to commit that foul in the box, but it might've been hard on Song as it was a bit soft.

Good luck to you.

you 5 little kids with no football knowledge just can't accept the fact that you know next to nothing about your favorite team. Don't take it personally, just accept it. Nobody cared a lick about Song and now suddenly this season everyone puts him in over Denilson when selecting lineups. Eboue was booed off the pitch and I'm sure you all joined in with it, but now he is a hero. None of you really understand the game you kids are only good at yelling and screaming at the tv
