Surely in a preview your supposed to analyse the teams strengths and weaknesses against each other. You've just chosen one or two reasons for each team to finish where it will without comparing them at all! What the hell is this?

Liverpool have shown precisely zero improvement in pre-season, much like Arsenal, but have been shipping far more goals than us. But because they've spent millions you think it automatically means success, which is the exact problem with Arsenal fans (other than most of them are mind-numbingly stupid and do things like boo the team in pre-season). Is Downing better than Arshavin? No. Is Andy Carroll better than van Persie? Hahaha, but no. Is Jordan Henderson better than Wilshere or Ramsey? Although there's a lot of work to be done, Wenger has this week to get something done. Let's not run around panicking about finishing 17th just yet.

In fact, i think AW has finally identified areas that needed dealing with and is trying to address them, the attack. Vela, Gervinho, Chamack, Theo, Ryo, etc will provide the needed directness and goals that we have needed. We have relied too much on RVP who plays 15games per season and Bendtner who can't score. We are much stronger than we look. Frimpong, Jerkinson, Bartley, Afobe are like new signings (To quote AW). We just need to sell Nasri and keep Cesc. We will be frightening. Rubbish,

Liverpool are nothing special, and have added average players to the ones they already had. Even thought Arsenal have only bought one player they are still far better than Liverpool in my opinion. Good luck for the season. A nonsense prediction and im not even an Arsenal fan. Liverpool are nothing special, and have added average players to the ones they already had.

Firstly, we need to keep our players fit. Just having RvP and Vermalaen fit for the season instantly increases our chances. Secondly, Wilshire will be a year better, Ramsey will be a year better, as will Chesser in goal. Walcott should improve year on year too. Plus, Almunia cost us many points at the start of last season, starting the season with the Pole in goal is already a step up from last season. Gerv looks the business. Plus 1 more playing will come in, im sure of it, perhaps 2. Also, last year was Kos and Chamakh's first season, they should improve also. dont panic! anyway, as much as anything else, i think its clear that we need to improve our coaches. Get Keown in to sort the defence out. I'm not saying we will defo win the title, but only 1 team each year can. We're in with a shout. Oh, and all of you that think Liverpool will be a threat, have a word with yourselves. I wouldnt want any of the players they have bought at Arsenal. They are a bunch of average crap.

People dont ebven look at they individuals they brought just becasue they spent money they must improve. i dont get why people are saying liverpool are gonna finish on top of arsenal just becasue they bought charlie adam , jordan henderson and stewart downing thry are all good players but really are they good enough to get them above Arsenal.

That ,I believe and other gooner fans, will be the trigger leading to his demise.So he is to be blamed for not taking the necessary action to stiffen the defence.

We have not done much in the market, especially when everyone knows what needs to be done. In my opinion, buying Gervinho is not resolving an issue unless to replace the outgoing Bendtner that hates playing on the wings. We have abundance choices in terms of attacking players which means that is less priority but it seems to be what Arsene has focused on. Couple of things pete morrison; Man City bought more than one player. They bought Clichy from us (which will make them stronger as now he will work hard to earn his stripe unlike in Arsenal where there is no pressure on players), they bought Aguero, who rightfully is similar to Tevez in style but might take time to adjust, they also bought another defender whilst losing Boateng. All in all, I think they are stronger this term and I see them making an impression on the league. In terms of Gibbs being as good as Clichy, that is your personal opinion but I doubt a lot of people would agree with that. Gibbs is not great defensively and lacks confidence attack wise; he has potential to be better but at the moment he is no where near Clichy's level even with the latter's tendency to drop concentration in games. I would say that we might just make it by finishing above Liverpool but i think they are stronger as well and full of confidence. As for Arsenal, I don't think we're in as bad a position as the press and most of the fans think but we do need proper centrebacks as well as a mature midfield player. I would say stick with our current keeper with Fabianski as deputy. Finally, we also need to change the mentality of the players and make them believe in winning as opposed to just taking part.

Without some purchases soon Arsenal will be outside of the big 4. Ultimately there is NO leader and NO togetherness and winning mentality - Hence why we fall apart in the last couple of months of the season.

You know what does it mean if so? Arsenal will lift the trophy after 6 years of drought. What if no signatures at all? sure 5th or 6th!!! City will be the better and hope they will finish 2nd if arsenal take care of and close the defensive hole by G.Cahill or C.Samaba and added Eden or J.Mata at the offensive side. J.Barton's and Lukaku's deal if finalized arsenal will confirm bringing the champions league cup to home the first time. Make sure all these will be possible if arsenal is able to holding one of the two departed prospect from the club - more importantly Cesc fabregas!!! Manu(The red Devils ) will finish 3rd, liverpool comes 3rd and Chelsea will go to 4th. Spurs? may be 5th!!! The other I liked the way pete morrison expresses his predictions.
