Ask A Gooner, Vol. 2


What's your name?
Nick Hetherington

Where are you from?
London, mate!

Give us your first Arsenal experience?
1978, Manchester United 2-3 Arsenal, we took it down, I was 7 years old. All I remember was it ended 3-2, and the third goal came in the 87th minute.

Worst Arsenal memory?
Definitely when Martin Taylor broke Eduardo's leg. It was devastating.

How did you feel about our win over Birmingham this go around?
It was beautiful. It was too bad Eduardo didn't get to play, and that other cunt.

Where do you see Arsenal finishing this season?
Can we win this season? Yes. Do we have the strength? Yes. Do we have the back four? Yes. Do we have the middle? Yes. We've got the front. Yes. We've got it all. Yes. I think we can win it all. I know I've been saying this for 5 seasons now, and its about time we won a trophy. I think we can get it, and I think we could get the Champions League as well. Yes. I would be very surprised if we didn't see some piece of silverware from this season. As long as we don't get any mad injuries, the strength is there, and we've got a great amount of players to pull from now, its not like 2 seasons ago when we were a little weak, but now with Arshavin and Vermaelen, they're goal scorers. I mean we're talking about our top goal scorer being a defender. We've got beautiful game players like Fabregas, van Persie, and even Bendtner is coming up. He's only 21. If we don't win something this year, it will come down to injuries over skill and power and gameplays.

How many goals will we score this season?
We're at 27 already from 8 matches, 30 to go...um, 109!

Favorite Arsenal player this season?
Difficult, but if I had to choose, I'd go with Cesc. I just have to.

Who is our best signing in the past 12 months, and who would we benefit most to add?
Well Arshavin is without a shadow of doubt the best signing. And as a potential in January? Can we steal Darren Bent? I'll take back Patrick Vieira.

What would you most like to see us win this year?
Champions League.

Last words?
COME ON YOU ARSENAL!
