		<description>this team is destined for greatness.

alot of people seem to forget that in 2008 the title nearly looked like it was ours up until a bevy of injuries hit us!

we missed the 2009 title cause of injuries to key players &amp; impact players not eligible for certain competition

honestly we need to win  something though this year or i can see this team going a completely different direction. Foreign take over, Guss Hiddink as manager &amp; an influx of Russian players 

yo J Dilla does not suck dick! that guys makes some dope beats.

we need Melo or some holding midfielder for sure! one more piece of the puzzle</description>

		<description>FA Cup, League, or CL Runner up or Champ.

otherwise, Fab goes, Arshavin might, and we try something else.</description>

		<description>I say this every season, but this season i feel like wenger is slowly (painfully always) build the bulk of our team up. Which lets be honest thats what we needed against Chelsea and Man U in both Semis for the UCL and FA cup. 
Rosicky and Eduardo and Clichy are back, Im sure hungry to place them selves back in the premiership greats. Ashavin showed us he is ready to kick arse. Vermaelen looks like a mean bastard and if the reports of us going for Cana are true then we are well on our way to winning something and hopefully shutting up all the Yids, Mancs and Chavskis. 
My belief just wasnt there last season especially in the semi finals. But i do get a good feeling about this season.
Just hope Cesc dont fuck off to Barcelona just yet, and leave another Hleb/Flamani shaped hole in formation.
&quot;Oh Arsenal we do! Arsenal We do!................&quot;</description>

		<description>To break into the top three will be success next season. Liverpool and Chelsea were comfortably ahead of us this time, even if the points say it was closer. We will have our work cut out fending off Villa and Man City. Being realistic, a lucky cup run might bring us a trophy, but a movement of one place up the table would be a more realistic sign of success given our opposition.</description>

		<description>Success, to me is when the keeper is able to keep enough clean sheets. Look at ManU, they have Van der sar, Chelsea has Cech. Both capable of pulling off stunning saves. When you have these kinds of keepers, it makes your team want to put in more effort to play and win. Arsenal used to have David Seaman, Mr Safe Hands... now?</description>

		<description>i think we just need to win one trophy next year, this will strengthen the belief in the team to show that we can challenge for trophies and will start the ball rolling.</description>

		<description>well i think beating out chelsea, liv, or manu and landing in the top three would be a realistically succesful season in the epl.  the FA cup i think we have potential to win; like said before we had a somewhat broken squad last year and we still made it to the semis.  as far as the champions league goes im hopefull that we can make it to the top four again, but with Rmadrids RIDICULOUS spending it may be hard if we play them along the way. 
But i think a trophy this season in any competition would be deemed a success and im pullin for them gunners!!  
and im hopin we can get anothr signing or two to add the depth that chelsea, liv and manu have.  that would almost garuntee we would be a wrecking machine and even hihg up teams would fear our speed, talent and youth</description>
