The thought of that is disgusting. Damien don't buy into this ******** long term strategy Arsenal are on. It does not put a complete gag on the club. Arsenal can easily up the salary budget and put players on higher wages to compete it that area. As much as it equally disgusts me, Arsenal will have to change it. The club doesn't need to go all out but they do need to up it. Secondly, Usmanov needs to be brought to the table. As the second largest shareholder he should be on the board, his input is vital. Fair enough if Arsenal don't want to accept his interest free money which he offered but he's a successful businessman, crooked he may be but hes got connections. Peter Hill-Wood needs to go, Bob Wilson needs to be brought in as his replacement. Ivan needs to be moved elsewhere and as much as David Dein is a dangerous person, his involvement at Arsenal was vital to success... he needs to be re-instated as Director. This isn't just a reaction from todays result, its been building up for a long while now. I fear the arrogance currently at board level will run this club into the ground where we'll have to start all over again. Its pathetic.

Me thinks the "The professor" has made a mistake in his equation

Look, what your all forgetting is that if it were not for the 8 United goals, Arsenal would have won 2 - 0!!

In all seriousness, you're perhaps the most gracious-in-defeat supporter I've encountered in a LONG time. Kudos to you sir

Also positive is that there are lot of new faces starting for Utd, with five of today's team either recent signings or just come back from season-long loan spells, who look really good. Things are looking promising.

Its the only way to look at a defeat like this.

And am with tHenry the board should go as they are only thinking of profits. Look at manu the are like millions in debt but have a decent team

Arsenal don't need to go to them extremes. All I'm syaing is the guard needs to be dropped a little.

I think we need to take this result in isolation. The start of the season is bad but not that bad. It's not going to indicative of the season, we do need to sign players before the end of the window however.

This does not surprise me as he has always opened his mouth like Merson but cannot control the idiotic garbage that comes out of it.

Arsenal were poor, but i can't believe they are that poor...this is a freak result.

Arsenal played poorly, defended badly...and had a weak team

To beat Man Utd, at old trafford, you need to be 100%, no way were Arsenal 100%.

I then wenger needs to go back to the drawing board...and get a couple of decent defenders (them midfield, then striker)...all in 3 days

Greatest post ever. :-D
Seriously though, I was always under the impression that Wenger had at least £40m to spend, regardless of whether Fabregas and/or Nasri were sold? I will happily be corrected though but I could swear I read it.

So really with the transfers of Nasri and Fabregas he should have nearly £100 million to spend unless some of it is going to the owners.

His mouths not the only thing he can't control...

Co-presenters Tony Cascarino and Patrick Kinghorn - billed as 'The King and Cas' - fell out spectacularly on-air when Kinghorn accused the married ex-Ireland striker of "chasing that 21-year-old around the office". The pair had a heated discussion during the next commercials and an apparently contrite Kinghorn returned after the break to say: "I just want to apologise for saying that Cas has been chasing a 21-year-old around the office. She wasn't 21, she was 19!"

Cascarino leaped across the desk, punched his co-host in the face and, as production staff quickly cued up another set of ads, the pair continued to brawl on an office sofa until Cascarino was pulled off Kinghorn by his former international team-mate Ray Houghton. The duo then resumed their show, sporting cuts and bruises.
