Without serious venture in January transfer market arsenal for the first time will finish outside the top four.

Mertesacker's lack of speed is both blatant and totally compromising. He makes even Tony Adams look fast and I wonder what Wenger and Bould are thinking.

2 games won for arsenal from penalties alone kinda sad. Not what they should be cheering for. What it should be is like the performance against reading.

alan hansen's comments on kone vs. walcott are just ridiculous. wondering why a player isn't going down when theres minimal contact?? shameful.

Wigan played great, probably deserved a point. That being said, I feel like it was a pretty clear penalty.

Arsenal needs something new in their structure or midfield. People keep talking about a striking problem, but I feel like service is the issue. Podolski, for example, makes so many good runs that his teammates fail to see. I like him on the left, but I feel like more chances need to be created for the best finisher in the team.

Oh well! onward and upward

at least wigan should of deserved a draw surely?

crucial time for match was great chance for kone that he wasted it easily in first half.If it was goal gunners wouldnt have 3 points...

mertesacker is like running in slow motion.

very important win!

Too many games ruined by referee decisions these days (or maybe since ever? could be)
The thing is, these days it's all becoming really obvious with all the instant slow-mo replays.. So the viewers are much more exposed to these mistakes.
A change will come or people will simply lose interest in watching a game that can be determined simply by a folly of the referee

all i want for christmas is for theo walcott to sign a 12 year contract extension.

not good enough from Arsenal. not good enough

Man, Martinez is such a classy guy. I am always so impressed about how honest and articulate his comments are.

Well played Wigan! hope you can stay up!

What the frick is with goal united advertisement. They waste so much time when they could show more highlights.
