I wouldn't expect you to understand it.

I heard that too, that he will be crazy busy over the next few days. This is welcome, but it takes time for players to gel and get used to each other.
Grim I think this might all coming from this quote in the press conference:

“Look at my face, is it the face of somebody who does a panic buy? No. I try to make the decision,” Wenger said.

“But you will see how many transfers will happen in the next three or four days, it will be amazing, maybe the biggest amount ever.”

In that context he was defending Perez as a panic buy and suggesting the 'crazy busy' activity and record amount spent over the next few days would be because lots of other clubs in the division would be actually be doing the panic buying.

I'd love to be proven wrong but I suspect there will be no more activity from Arsene.

It looks like they will! Sanchez is doing well, Ozil too and dare I say it, Walcott as well! Wow, 3 up now, great run by Ozil, equally good pass by Sanchez, and headed (!!) in by Ozil.

3 nil up half time now.

Ozil and new signings have given us the needed boost.

I know it's only three games into the season, but Xhaka has been fantastic. Phenomenal passing range.

You watch that opening game and then this performance, and you can only scratch your head.

Bit of flat track bullying at Watford.
Couple of bare minimum new signings.
International break.

And the old goat wriggles from the hook yet again.
I swear we'll never be shot of him.

Koscielny should have been given the captain's armband. He looks the part since he's come back in.

Jeremy Wilson tweeted Arsenal willing to listen to big offers for Wilshere seeing as we so many midfielders in the squad.

It's now clear he's not going to fulfil his potential at Arsenal. We could throw in some extra bubble wrap into any deal for his glass ankles

Disappointed with the win?

Well here's hoping you are disappointed every week from now til May.

We have finally kick started the season. No point in moaning about the 2 previous games...they have gone. We now need to get a run going and kick on. We can't lose any more ground.

A welcome 2 additions to the squad once finally confirmed. Could be an interesting deadline day, am thinking of those that might be off loaded possibly?

Why the away kit. Red does not clash with yellow.

I noticed that, the luminous yellow and black looked odd

I guess it's for marketing purposes re the third kit. I quite like the dark blue.

Big offers? I'd happily take any reasonable ones as well. It will be interesting to see if any clubs either big enough or willing to match his salary emerge. Sadly I don't think it will ever work out for him with us but it will be interesting to see if his injuries suddenly clear up once he's away from Arsene and his training and medical regimes.

I'd be inclined to think the same. He just can't be relied on to get through a season without some kind of injury. Plus it looks like he will be on the bench for the most part. For all that, I do think he will still be an Arsenal player after the deadline has passed.

Rumours flying around that we're in for Sturridge. Can't see it happening, to be honest, but if Wilshire and/or Walcott go, I'd like to see an addition and Sturridge would be a great signing if he can remain fit.

Wenger has said that nobody else will be arriving. I thought as much.
