I'm hoping there are a few "gooners" out there who wouldn't mind putting finger 2 key & discussing the joys of being an ARSENAL fan.
You haven't got to be a Gooner, infact it would be even better to see what the rivals have to say...that includes you, you Red Devils. No hard feelings on your 2 defeats in the Prem this season, surely.

Let the debate begin.......

I see Arsenal as a snidey, cheating bunch of whingers in an over-priced stadium. Frilly football with no end product. Lacking in steel.

As a fan of a proper football club (ie, not Chelski, Team USA etc) I think that Arsenal reflect the good and bad of the game. They are good in that they play the most attacking, flamboyant style of play in this country and have a sense of togetherness. The negatives are that they hardly field any British players, whinge a lot when other less skilled teams try and balance things out by being men, relocated from one of the finest architectural gems in the stadia world to move to a generic football arena and they steal teenagers from lesser teams before they are allowed to develop. At the end of the day they are no better or worse than the other big 3 clubs.

Arsenal won't win anything until Wenger sorts out their discipline. Every time they get lose or draw against a team they should beat, the manager, or at least one of the players, wont be able to accept it. Wenger is not liked at all. All the war of words have him involved. Fabregas will throw a tantrum if things aren't going Arsenals way. The keeper is a di*k.

This poor indiscipline comes from the boss. Until he sorts himself out, the team will continue to follow suit.

There is no denying Wenger is probably the best manager about and Arsenal squad is top quality but they need to grow up mentally.

To be honest, I can't imagine Liverpool behaving like Arsenal or Chelsea did in the Carling Cup Final, but each to their own.

I'll deny that actually. He's a good manager, but the best managers don't persistently fail to perform in cup finals.

To be fair though, he has won cups and he's just got a bunch of kids to a cup final and it took a Chelsea team worth millions to beat them.

Arsenal play some of the best football i have ever seen at club level but like i said, their indiscipline is appalling. Arsenal have become the club everyone loves to hate.

"Bunch of kids" is pushing it a bit, don't you think? Of the 14 players Arsenal fielded on Sunday, 8 of them were full internationals.

Nah, Chelsea and United are far more despicable to be honest

Fair point but even so, full internationals canbe found in league 2.

Arsenal's squad is excellent but can they field a fantastic first 11? Probably not. Chelsea and United can, thats why they are pis*ing the league.

Arsenal are my second favorite team in the League after Middlesbrough. Mainly because of Henry's skill and Arsène Wenger's talent for picking great players from nowhere.

Bunch of kids isn't pushing it at all! Average age of the 14 under 22, with 10 players 23 or under when the match was played!!

walcott 17
traore 17
denilson 19
fabregas 19
diaby 20
adebayor 21
hoyte 22
senderos 22
eboue 23
aliadiere 23
baptista 24
toure 25
hleb 25
almunia 29
current full internationals (6) Fabregas, Adebayor, Toure, Hleb, Senderos, Eboue, of which 4 or 5 would be starters for their countries.

You must have a different definition of "kids" in your country.

In the UK, only those under 18 are considered minors, which only applies to 2 of those players.

I am from the UK, you must be a Liverpool fan then, still bitter after the League Cup loss to Arsenal at Anfield by a depleted Arsenal side??

Bitter about that Mickey Mouse competition? Hardly. I'm still pissed off about being robbed of the title in 1989 though. 18 league titles and 5 European Cups softens the blow, however.

PS if you need any tips on beating Barcelona...
