I'm feeling pretty positive about the upcoming season. The new signings are exciting, especially Carzola. I'm looking forward to continued improvement from the younger players, especially with getting rid of the dead weight of #10 and possibly #17.

I'd love to see a full, healthy squad for most of the season. I think they'd have a serious chance at silverware.

I'm looking forward to Saturday, and to finishing above Spuds!

I am really excited about this season and think we could win something. Even though there were a few negatives during the close season, the club made sure they balanced the scales and completed a lot of positive work. In order for this squad to win something, I believe they will need to work together as a strong team rather than relying on individual brilliance or stars. That being said, this team has the potential to work some magic.

Come on you Gunners!!!
