On the one hand if
Arsenal goes on a winning run and becomes a challenging team, this may affect Sanchez's attitude and he could become a team player.
Arsenal went on a winning run to overcome Spurs in second at the tail - end of last season when the pressure was off, but can they play with a care - free attitude now?
Not exact matches
Arsenal never take advantage of an opportunity, they often rely
on humiliation and disappointment to
go on a
winning run.
Arsenal should
win and we think they will, but the Gunners, who
go into Sunday's game
on a
run of three league matches without scoring, are unlikely to have it all their own way against a side who have humbled Chelsea and Man United this term.
Until we played Crystal Palace this weekend,
Arsenal had
gone on a five - game
run without a
win that had seen us drop away from the Top Four contention, so now it is imperative that we start
winning again and start putting pressure
on the teams above us in the table.
Of course it would be silly to suggest that
winning any game, cup or otherwise, isn't good for the club, but let's remember just how problematic FA Cup success has been for this club... I'm certainly not
going to suggest I didn't enjoy seeing
Arsenal win, I'm a fan of this club first and foremost, but how bad are things when you find yourself secretly wishing that your own team lost so that just maybe real change would finally come... I resent this team for even making me feel such thoughts and it's
going to take a lot of effort
on their part to earn my trust again... this club has treated the fans so poorly that it has created an incredibly fragile and toxic environment, so much so that a «what have you done for me lately» mentality has emerged... fans rise and fall depending
on the results of each game because we don't have faith in those in charge to make the necessary changes to personnel and tactics... each time we
win many fans attack any dissenting voices and make unrealistic claims about the players, the manager and the potential for unprecedented success... every time we lose the boo - birds
run rampant, calling for heads to roll and predicting the worst... regardless of what side you fall
on, it's not your fault, both sides are simply overcompensating for the horrible state of affairs that have been percolating for several years... it's hard to take the long view when those in charge have lied incessantly and refuse to take any responsibilities for their own actions... in the end, we are trapped by the same catch - 22 that ManU faced upon Fergie's exit... less fearful of maintaining the status quo than facing the unknown, which was validated, wrongly or rightly, by witnessing the difficulties they have faced during this transitory period... to be honest, the thing that scares me most is that this team has never prepared whatsoever for this eventuality, which considering our frugal nature and the way we have shunned many of our most revered former players is more than a little disconcerting
Arsene Wenger has often spoke about consistency being vital in the long format of a league campaign and in the past
Arsenal have often managed to
go on long
winning or unbeaten
runs, but that has been distinctly lacking this season.
So assuming things
go to form,
Arsenal will not have
won the title but should have improved
on last season's fourth place and
on May 30th will
run out to face a Liverpool side desperate for a trophy to rescue a disappointing campaign.
Kloop
going to Liverpool will mean at least 7 game
winning run so
Arsenal be
on your hard.
Play players that will play for our crest, Chelsea game proved that and just put out them, I said in summer
arsenal want dries mertens and got nothing but thumps down I've got fantastic source was told
arsenal will get him next summer but only stop is we got ta get bk in champions league we need
go on run next few woks and we need beat Everton which is our next real tough fix, just look at da ox it's a mistake he
went apparently he promised he's girl that he
go Liverpool that why he took pay cut well grass is not always greener we need play same as at Chelsea and keep
winning and get buzz really
going let's beat wba and I'd play jack for da game we don't need Cdm for wba at home let's get goals lacasette get couple
Arsenal will
go on a long
run of good results now that the chances of
winning the title has been fluffed.
Yes we have games against «inferior» teams coming up (of which we thought at home to Hull was the first) but to see us
go on a massive
winning run would be great, but I really can't see Chelsea or Man City slipping up enough for
Arsenal to do anything but get into the usual dogfight for fourth place.
If
Arsenal win it will plant a doubt in Chelseas mind and give us the confidence to
go on another
winning run.
@Fatboy Gooner The Ozil deal was far less that 40 plus million as has been exposed
on football leaks it was more in the region of 32 million with verious clauses that enable REM to take a percentage of any profit we make
on selling Ozil and I would assume there are similar attachments with the Sanchez deal, even our record signings are clouded in smoke and mirrors so let not
run away with the idea that its all SWengers fault, if your employer is
on your back and pushing for results then you perform at a higher rate and push harder where as Wenger has no push from above so does nt
go out of his way Kroenke does nt have the culture around him to
win trophies cos thats not his aim and that filters down to the grass roots at
Arsenal and shows in Wengers transfer policy and in the players performance.
I think
Arsenal will
go on a
run of 8 straight
wins now
You can never tell what to expect with this
Arsenal team, Westham can have all their best players, be
on a solid
run of
wins and we turn them over easily, or they might be
going through a bad patch and without a few of their best players and beat us so easily it will be embarrassing, the only thing consistent about us is our inconsistency, if am not mistaken they turned us over at home in the first game of the season, with a 17 year old boy in their first 11 and about 3/4 new to the country and the league....
Are some of you
on here missing a few brain cells as fans There is nothing
Arsenal or Wenger can do with the Sanchez situation He wants to leave and has been offered 400k a week in wages who in their right mind is
going to turn that down as a player As for blaming wenger who has been our most successful manager helped us build a stadium gave us 20 years of cl football and some of the best teams the ol has seen Including the invincible and you all have the Gaul to trash the man as if he has done nothing for the club I suggest you should look at the plastic fans in the
Arsenal blogs that have created a toxic atmosphere at the club They attack their own players in a daily basis why would any top player come to s club where the manager the owners and players are shamelessly attached constantly Yet Wenger
wins trophies regularly even them that is derided Look at Spurs Liverpool they
win fuk all every year yet their fans back then Look at yourselves and all the negativity that you have created striking the club before you blame Wenger for everything I have been a season ticket holder since the 70s and never have I seen our fanbase been so full of entitled morons who have stopped backing the club and constantly deride the club snd attack it We have the worst fanbase in football you have made this great club a lagging stock in world football All you now us fans constantly moaning If you don't like
Arsenal fc then buy out kronke and
run the club or fuk off and support someone else You won't be missed Coyg
We have two more months for them to slip and
Arsenal now really need to
go on a straight
winning runs if we want to stake our claim as title challengers.
All
Arsenal need to do is
win this
on monday,
go on a
run for few games then stregthen this squad in 2 weeks.
Looks like Stan likes to kill animals ah wat money does to people they just get bored and cum up with stupid tv prog
go kill animals makes me mad and sad and to think our club is
ran by this man no wonder we are we're we are besides putting cash into tv, Stan get ur cash and give ozil and Sanchez and ox the money they want if doesn't do it
go get bale that's wat real owner does and if Sanchez refuses da offer get the guys killing animals
on ur programme to
go hunting Sanchez sick being put down like how are spurs ahead of us there building now we're passed that we should be in champions league semis at least I don't no if it's wenger or da owner but at Highbury when mr drink was around we had 13 world class players and Highbury now emirates we have maybe 3 or 4 or 5 tops, world class players and guess wat we can't even keep them oh my dear friends it don't feel rite I find myself losing my
arsenal my life I can not believe spurs are above us and how we use tear them to shreds our kids use ta, who cares if Sanchez
goes we will not
win da league with Stan there he just wants pump cash in to shooting poor animals well to me ur the animal and ur taking a sleeping giant in to the jungle?
With
Arsenal now
on a
run of seven straight
wins in a row with Middlesbrough next in line for a beating, it was always
going to hard for Arsene Wenger to drop anyone with the team playing so well, but Le Prof made four changes for last nights match against Ludgorets, and perhaps this team was even stronger than the one that struggled to maintain the pace against Swansea
on Saturday.
I know I am probably being a bit too optimistic, but I can't help but get the feeling that
Arsenal now have all the ingredients (and the fixtures) to
go on a
winning run to make a serious assault at the top of the Premiership.
i personally don, t care, some fans think we should have
won the pl i agree this was a good opportunity missed but there are reasons why the other big guns failed this season, maureen lost the dressing room and was fired, man city decided to announce a new manager, united few years ago decided to hire the wrong manager for the club, liverpool decide to succumb to the fans / media pressure and changed manager... it just shows that it all comes down to how a club is
run so
arsenal should be given credits for
running the club the way they do (don, t get me wrong all is not perfect) they could have decided to sack wenger due to pressure but didn, t, wenger despite his flaws & the team
going through a difficult patch partly due to injuries managed to keep the players
on board and steer us to 2nd place, my point is that
winning the pl is not a given right and i truly believe than this time around arsene heard the discontent fans and will make the signings necessary, COYG!!
They then
went on a decent
run of four straight league
wins, also beating Watford in the FA Cup during this
run, claiming an impressive 2 - 0 away
win at
Arsenal along the way.
On paper
Arsenal look like they have an easy
run, but if us and City
win every game it is
going to come down to our clash at the Etihad in the penultimate game of the season.
Arsenal do normally
go on a
winning run at the end of the season (normally after we we are so far behind the Top Four and have to make an effort, but there is no reason we can't do that again this season.
You would still be in tiny Highbury for a start because without the teams he created out of nothing to
win things and build your profile in the modern game you would be skint, he has done wonders at
arsenal and he still can, the games moved
on there's not many hidden gems anymore so he needs money, have a
go at the people who
run the club!
With
Arsenal now sitting in second place in the Premier League table and heading for a second successive Wembley FA cup final and
on an amazing
run of form, with 21
wins and one draw from our last 25 games, the calls from some
Arsenal fans and members of the football media have pretty much
gone away.
The race for the other Top Four spots in now getting closer with just 4 points separating Man United, Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool,
Arsenal and Burnley, but after
Arsenal's tight game at the Etihad and the demolition of Tottenham the Gunners look well placed to
go on another
winning run to try and close the gap with Pep Guardiola's side.
If
Arsenal beat Barca that could give them the lift and confidence to
go on a
winning run in the Prem and
go top again.
Arsenal went on a fantastic
run of
wins to put themselves in the driving seat for the third automatic Champions
With
Arsenal very hit - and - miss at this moment in time, and Swansea
on a poor
run of 1
win in 6, this game could
go either way.

In that sense,
Arsenal are back to where they were in the autumn; a side capable of perhaps
going on a
run of
wins, but also one that can lose to lesser sides at home, with significant issues scoring.
And while Milan have been
on a magical
run,
going unbeaten so far in the year 2018,
Arsenal have been inconsistent, having
won only three of their last five matches, however
Arsenal will be in the final of the English League Cup this Sunday, 25 February, facing off against Manchester City in an attempt to
win the season's first trophy in England.
