Arsenal

green and blue dafaq............

change in the guard haha :P

Incredibly bizarre that both sides have a biggest victory of 4-1. Usually both would have a higher one at this stage.

We should beat Chelsea at home, I mean seriously.

Hilarious poldi is on our top scorers considering he only played twice this season

^ meanwhile look at eto'o record :P

hasn't walcott scored 3 goals?

this is league goals song

Eis Eis equalizes

no complaints. look at rvp, bale and gotze. their moves just says it all.

Bale deserved the CL. The other two are c*nts. I totally hate Gotze now.

Dougie, I hate that "player deserves XYZ" argument...

When a person is earning close to £100k per WEEK, they can't really have any complaints. Does the club that paid him that extortionate sum and made him who he is not deserve something too? Like some loyalty and a little personal investment from the player??

Deffy you would want to play for Real Madrid in the Champions League instead of the Tottinghem Hot Spurs in Europa. Any day of the week, you want to be next to Ronaldo.

that's not the same as deserving it though. I want to sleep with Olivia Wilde but I don't play up for my gf so that she lets me leave "because I deserve it"

And yes, she is such a lucky girl ;-)

Surely you aren't comparing a football club (a place where one works) to your girlfriend? lol

wtf dude! podolski just came back from injury. give him a break. wenger did say he'll be on the bench for the game. might see him come on in the 2nd half

I know but Giroud is hopeless up front. Bring Giroud on to hold the ball up when we are 1-0 up. The dude cant buy a goal to save his life.

u know nothing about giroud and the way he plays, so stop talking s**t

TimidGunnar: http://data3.whicdn.com/images/42990956/24204298_large.jpg

WTF? Giroud scored quite a lot of goals already this season and he's a striker who's more than a goalscorer. He holds the ball up and sets up attacks, he's the powerful man you're lacking otherwise and he's a goal threat from any given position in any possible way.

I like your combination of the phrases 'can't buy a goal' and 'can't score to save his life' but still respectfully disagree

@TimidGunnar: just because we are looking for a striker in the winter doesnt mean giroud is s**t. we are looking for a striker so that if anything happens to giroud, god forbid, we dont have to s**t in our pants with bendtner or park chu young. lol

this time last year, he barely got like 3-4 goals or something. this season, he's already 7 goals in 15 games. sure he's missed some chance this season, but no doubt he's improved after his first year. i expect him to get like 15+ goals by end of season.

and yeah, he's more than just a striker, he's a helpful one, assisting others in need. just like rvp was when he was here, minus the goal numbers.

Podolski cannot play CF for the 100000000th time Jesus Christ

Podolski can play main forward role occasionally if the opposition has a high defensive line and he can exploit the space (like Walcott).

However I defy anyone to find a CF right now who can hold the ball and link-up midfield with attack better than Giroud.

Honestly giroud helps in build up play way more than RVP. Also I think if we play podolski we should push ozil more forward and play them together

@gunnzo: i know, but im just that both played similar roles, like helping in midfield. well rvp had an eye on goal always.

or a 4-4-2 formation, with ozil and podolski up front if we want to play him instead of giroud

@Deffy, Watch his debut vs Sunderland before he got subbed off for Giroud.

I think you're being a bit harsh with that statement Groundup.

As you said, it was his debut with the club. He didn't look great and you can chalk that up to nerves, playing in a new league, playing with new teammates, not quite having a grasp of the system we play. You can't just throw someone into a team like that and expect them to be super stars.

I'm pretty sure he was scoring tons with cologne from a central striking position and I'm sure ozil can feed him better than his teammates at koln no disrespect to them

Plus giroud missed a sitter in that game as well

he wasn't a central striker he always excelled as a SS at Koln. He had a partner beside him which made him so good :)

I know wenger rarely changes the shape of the team but do you think any of our players could be that for poldi cloudst?

Walcott for sure is a lot better than his striking partner at Koln haha :D what koln were good at were attacking at pace and podolski was given a free role. That role which he had was so badass he would just pop out of nowhere and score goals but for that to happen you need one striker to be always active up front someone like Giroud or Walcott to distract opposition. In fact, if we paired poldi in a two striker system with giroud i wouldn't be surprised if poldi excelled lol but i like him as a LWF too :)

Damn looking at some highlights of poldi and koln he looks soo fast. Has he lost some pace, or have I just not noticed him flying past defenders as much? :)

"Giroud is hopeless up front" HAHA!

He's the entire beat of our attack. How many times does he win the ball for us, and hold it up? He provides so much support to our wingers in particular, and if you give him a chance anywhere inside the box he can be trusted to make something of it.

It's such a crazy statement, I wonder if you're joking. Go and join the United supporters on their page who don't know anything and labeled Giroud "an average player".

Gunnzo

It's neither he has a different role at arsenal he's a LWF here at koln he's a SS different roles mean different things to do at the clubs

Why do we have so many stupid so called fans

Oh come on fellow Gunners..cant believe what I am hearing..If he is the Heartbeat of our attack then we are doomed. Lmao at the "he's powerful" comment..hands down I would take Heskey over Giroud. He was quick, strong and on his peak days provided a better goal return. Heck I can name 10 Prem strikers that are out Girouds league. The amount of times that the guy has given the ball away while tryin out his stupid is a lot. You should watch how Ozil always reacts when he gives Giroud the ball then he gives it away. We cant use the excuse of him being young..the guy should be at his peak.

I put Podolski foward because he has a better football brain that Giroud. At least podolski makes positive runs..he always makes the right decision. I want you all to watch Giroud and get back to me on him.

Lol

Well if ur calling giroud a striker then ur obviously not watching out games are u... Cos he is a f*****g CF!!!!

i double lol this

i enjoy opinions but this is just plain lols

i've watched enough him to tell you that he's more intelligent and hardworking that any forward we have in our squad. Its not even an opinion its the truth whether you agree or not that's up to you we can't change someone's opinion if you clearly dislike him so :)

I'm thinking he's just joking. That's what I'd like to believe...

I can't wait to watch Podolski play! The way Gibbs and Podolski started attacks with Santi last season was mesmerizing at times.

podolski with the wining goal.

mourinho "the party pooper"

I love what arseblog wrote on this story:
