"Arsenal have called off Nicklas Bendtner's proposed transfer to Crystal Palace after failing in their attempt to sign Chelsea striker Demba Ba on a season-long loan.
"Unless there is any last-minute turn of events, Bendtner will remain at Emirates Stadium and provide back-up to Arsenal's first-choice striker Olivier Giroud." Bendtner hangs around still,like a bad fucking smell...........
A £50k/week bad smell!

An upgrade in looks on some of your players tbh...
Fuckin hell we've bought Peter Lorre....
Ozil becomes the third most expensive signing in British football history, behind Fernando Torres, who joined Chelsea from Liverpool for £50m in 2011, and Carlos Tevez, who cost Manchester City £47m.

I think it has served us well. If you take silverware as the only measure of success then you are bound to reach another conclusion.

Torres lol.
It's a £42.5 million mistake. A panicked purchase made compulsory by the idiotic utterances of Gazidis in June. It won't even buy the silence of the blowhards demanding that money gets spent.

You forget, we have the handsomest striker in the league...:-PAn upgrade in looks on some of your players tbh...
Talking of which, haven’t been this excited since Charlie Nicholas joined us (no jokes), Ozil is a serious addition and just the level we are missing. Apparentley he has the same number of assits last term as Messi.
I'll take some of that.

Spud voodoo dont work on us.
Problem is, defending and hitting them on the break is "the Arsenal way"
Some football journo stated on Twitter that our Victory against the heathen hord wasnt "vintage Arsenal" I would postulate that it was nothing but vintage Arsenal. We won two Leagues with George Graham and arguabley the first and second with Wenger playing this exact way.

That's an interesting viewpoint and not one i share. Yes we can be deadly on the counter attack but i don't think anyone would regard Arsenal as a defensive team dependent on the counter attack. Moreover, i would suggest we cannot defend and that's why buying another creative midfield player, an expensive one at that, is a mistake.
With regards to the Spurs game, i was struck by how well we defended as a team. It's something i have not seen for sometime. It is the exception rather than the rule.
Jenkinson should be automatic first choice at right back. I've lost confidence in Sagna although he has played very well recently as an emergency centre back.
Well I'm very happy today after the doom and gloom of the opening weekend things are looking up a bit hey 
This opinion is foolish.
Which bit?

Depends how far your relationship with the team goes back.
Before Wenger I'd say we were renowned for our defencive abilities. Where do you think "1-0 to The Arsenal" comes from? First title win under Graham we only conceeded 18 goals and had a very low scoring rate. I would go on to say that Wengers most sucessfull teams built on this defensive/counter attacking tradition with the empasis on progressing the attack on the ground instead of hoofing it from defence to Wrighty or Smith (et al).
Over the past 10 or so years we've lost this style of play for a more (for want of a better phrase) Spanish style of possetion play, which is all very pretty and nice but (as we've seen) it wins you fuck all in England.
With the arrival of Bould you can see us slowly going back to our (I would say) traditional strengths.
The Spuds having 57% possession last Sunday was (for me) the most satisfying stat’
