Man utd and Man
city; what baffles me most is why Wenger do nt go even for those good
players who wants to play for us?!
So even though Man
City, Liverpool and Man United are all doing just as badly as Arsenal and a lot worse if you consider how much more money they have spent, it seems to be Wenger
who is always in the press, on the verge of being sacked and with
players and staff supposedly disagreeing with every decision the Prof makes.
One
player who has broken the trend of being revealed when they have become world class is Manchester
City's young striker Kelechi Iheanacho.
I personally don't see Arsenal beating
City not because we can't but because the central midfield area is not reliable.A
player like Coquelin must start tomorrow in place of Xhaka
who can't defend.I would rather we changed our formation to 4 -2-3-1.
I'm ashamed in our club, we are no longer one of the top teams, for the first time since Moses did loads of religious crap spud are our equals, all the banter from utd,
city and chelsea fans is becoming true and hard to answer We are no longer a force in Europe, the top teams don't even try and sign our

Player of the Year Riyad Mahrez,
who would improve any team in the country.
Don Balon are reporting that the Italian side,
who lost 3 - 0 at home to Los Blancos in the quarter finals of the Champions League last week, are interested in bringing the Spaniard to Italy, and that Man

Consider: Deadeye guard John Jenkins (from Hendersonville, Tenn.), an SEC
player of the year favorite, often overhears the French Skype conversations of his roommate, backup center Steve Tchiengang (Douala, Cameroon),
who loves playing FIFA on his Xbox against quadrilingual swingman and NBA prospect Jeff Taylor (Norrk √ ∂ ping, Sweden),
who rooms near forward and erstwhile U.S. Open ball boy Lance Goulbourne (Brooklyn),
who was raised 2,440 miles away from another suitemate, point guard Brad Tinsley (Oregon
City, Ore.).
who would of guest
City would make an offer of 60 million in the summer for Sanchez with only a year left on his contract, i'm guessing we could get an offer of around 30 million from
City in January so he wont be persuaded by the likes of PSG with a signing on fee in the summer, but
who knows what goes in the mind of Alexis or what kind of injuries some big clubs could have from now until January for them to make ridiculous offers to a world class
player with no CL conflict of interest, lets say Real Madrid loses Ronaldo, Bale, Karim to long term injury you bet they will come ceiling with baring gifts for Sanchez's services or even Barca with Messi or Suarez
To all giroud bashers,
who claimed other strikers would score 30goals for all the chances wil created, man
city, liverpool actually created more scoring chances than us which depicts that our midfielders need to create more to meet up with these teams and our fans must stop picking on
players to attack.

Our ability advantage should prove too strong for our opponents regardless of the support the
players receive, but the FA Cup has a way of instilling belief in the most unlikely opponents, and this weekend alone will have boosted Sutton, with Millwall and most amazingly Lincoln beating Premier League opposition, as well as Huddersfield refusing to bow down to Manchester
City,
who will have to face a replay in the coming weeks.
I would imagine if we had an ambitious owner like Usmanov
who hired an ambitious manager like Pep or any other recognized top manager, and made available a budget like Man U has had over the last few years or like
City seems to have, then Arsenal would quickly become a club
who would have no problem singing top
players.
What is certain now though is that he will need a positive reaction from his

Referee Anthony Taylor initially pulled out a yellow card after the tackle, but then switched to a red, which led to an eruption from
City manager Pep Guardiola,
who, despite lots of protestations this year about protecting the safety of the
players, seemed pretty aggrieved with what he saw as a harsh punishment for Delph.
Arsenal need to know that Pep is different from other Man
city managers
who were good but not to his standards it important for Arsenal to keep him away from Arsenal
players because of Dortmund record but in this league he knows every team has money to barge big teams away from their
players.
Exactly, the ones
who don't look like they have the weak mentality get sided out for no reason, Sanchez was scoring for fun when he was free to play in the centre and the wings, but he was outshining Giroud so the manager restricted him, Ramsey was scoring for fun when he was allowed to shoot outside the box and had
players supporting him at the back but now the manager tells him to play Cazorla role instead, when Ox was new he was dribbling past
City defenders for fun but then he was benched for Walcott
who can't even dribble past one defender, now we have Campbell
who always impresses on the pitch but the manager benches him for a
player with no confidence.

We are also not asking for money to be wasted like it was on Grabriel, Perez
who where bought but never got a chance or on Xhaka
who was more expensive than some of the
players bought by Man
City, Chelsea or Man U but he was a poor investment or Chambers
who cost a fortune at the time but was than barely used or respected.
Shea cost Stoke
City # 2.5 m, a decent price for a
player who is just 22 years of age and certainly has the potential to be a success.
The center barely played in his first two years with Oklahoma
City, but has turned into a decent
