Ever so excited about this. It would be wonderful if we won for so many reasons.

Very simple and attractive layout I must say. Very much impressed so far.

I think that it is obvious Diaby, Wilshere and Ramsey have all pushed themselves ahead of Denilson in the pecking order. Denilson still has a role to play as Songs DM deputy but this isn't really his fortay is it. Can't see there being much truth in this, but if it were to happen I would hardly be throwing my toys around about it either.

This is providing that Wenger actually spent the income on improving the side...which is a big assumption obviously.

The biggest issue is on the pitch, their players havent performed for over a year to any consistant standard and the off field problems should be no excuse for that. Torres and Gerrard are struggling for form and that was always likely to reveal Liverpool as a second rate side nowadays. Mascherano and Alonso gave them a solid platform to compete but that axis has been devastated now.

Does anyone else think Hodgeson looks genuinly unwell and on the brink of a nervous breakdown since his Liverpool move?

There is the real issue. Wenger is highly unlikely to stump up £40milliion bids for the Iniesta/Sneijders of this world, so I would expect him to look internally.

Personally, if this is most likely the case, I think we could do a lot worse than seeing Wilshere and Ramsey stake claims as they have shown themselves already to have influence on games from that central position. Obviously not to the level of Fabregas, but then I would argue it has only really been the last season and a half that Fabregas has really stepped up his level to what it is now. The others obviously have a certain amount of potential to work with in the mean time.

Agreed. Like with previous big players, the team will most likely accomodate his loss as oppose to a straight swap with a new player.

Hi guys, my name is Jon (jkreffer). I stumbled upon here by mere accident and a few of you look vaguely familiar...

Haha, good stuff this guys, very impressed so far.
