Tell me about it. There’s no way that the ban gets wiped completely. Ancelotti was pretty vocal from the start that he wasn’t interested in bringing anyone in during the transfer window. There was even a comment about him running around the training ground…nekkid, if the club bought anyone. Try to get THAT visual out of your head. Ha HA!

I know we have a fairly deep squad, but the squad is also old. The guys are picking up injuries more often and staying out longer. Plus most of our younger guys are out on loan. It’ll be interesting to see what happens if we get hit a bad injury spell. :/

I have to agree, season after season they continue to feast on the lesser sides and get the hopes of their supporters up, only to have those ambitions crushed with a convincing loss to United, Chelsea, Etc. All that is left for them is the Champions League, and no one is all to hopeful in regards to that. No moves in the transfer period by Arsene put the stamp on this season, and it will amount to nothing.

Here’s to next year.

What’s getting old with Arsenal is never ever winning the big matches and getting kicked out of cups by “lesser” sides. No offense intended Mags, when I say this, but up til now, Arsenal has had a better overall season than Liverpool points-wise but Liverpool beat United. I’d like to see Wenger once WIN a big match or two in a row. I can pretty much guarantee you that if Drogba plays this weekend he will score and Chelsea will win. It’s just what happens with Arsenal lately. And I’m fed up.

The Chelsea thing is definitely stupid. I don’t know if they tried to make deals and they fell through, or thought they were going to make moves and didn’t see anything available but it seems silly to get a ban lifted only to do nothing. The only way it makes sense is if this transfer period can then be applied to the ban.

This transfer window was extremely slow, it looks like the biggest deal was Younes Kaboul to Spurs for 5 million. Though there were a lot of loan deals for big name players past their prime.
