“Despite the fact the English don’t celebrate Thanksgiving this weekend the Gunners can still be thankful for a home fixture against Aston Villa. The Villains are the only team in the league without a road win and have only scored one goal in their travels. Aston Villa are prone to defensive errors but suffer most from a complete lack of finishing from their forwards. Scoreless 5 of their last 9 games highlights a real problem for Aston Villa and something for us to be thankful for. Graham Taylor was supposed to bring an attacking style of play in his second stint as Villa manager....

“I’ve read several times that we didn’t play that badly in the loss to Southampton. Well, if we aren’t going to single one person out then we’ll give the Brass Monkey to the whole lot of them. It’s Southampton for Christ’s sake, how do we let in three goals?
Sol & Pascal, as the heart of the defense I’ve got to throw some of the blame on you. Vieira apparently blew some chances and other than Dennis, where were Jeffers and Wiltord?
We’ve lost three league matches to a hot Blackburn, an improved Everton and now Southampton....

“A missed opportunity to get breathing room at the top. Here’s how member OPArsenal saw it…
Tough match today, made even tougher by the questionable refreeing. I sense a loud shout of “”Oi, referee!!!”" coming from Highbury today. I thought Seaman should have sat this one out, but I don’t get paid the sterling in London. That low screamer on the penalty shot to the left corner is excusable, (only Superman could’ve saved that) though it seems that he could’ve done a bit more. The Horse had a great steal, but Henry muffed his takeoff...

“First off, WERE YOU THERE???? I don’t mean Highbury, I mean New York’s own Nevada Smith’s (or wherever you were across the states) last Saturday! The turnout was TREMENDOUS as the Gooner contingent made it seem a bit like “”Highbury across the pond”" in there as we outsang the scum dwellers who had the gall to throw up their sh*t flag in the corner, I guess they “”got their Tottenham back”" now, right???? If you were in there then you know how GREAT it was to send them home to the following “”crying on the telly, we saw...

“Take a look at the Arsenal America message boards and you’ll see talk about us letting Lauren go. “”He gets beat,”" people write. “”He’s playing out of position and we need a true right back,”" they write. I’m here to come to the defense of our Cameroonian utility man.
Last year Lauren started 41 matches (of 60 played by the team) in all competitions for us, including 27 in the Premiership. He didn’t record a red card and was only substituted for twice.
He scored two goals, including the match winner against Spurs. Remember...

“Attention East Coast Arsenal America members:
As many of you know, Ajax (one of our 2nd Group Stage opponents) has a terrific US supporters’ club called Ajax USA. A fun group of guys and in many ways an inspiration for Arsenal America.
In speaking with them we thought it was a great time to re-introduce the idea of the Bergkamp Cup. What’s that you ask? An indoor soccer match between Arsenal America and Ajax USA. With the two teams playing each other in the span of a week next February we thought it would be fun for the two supporters’ clubs to get together.
