Since such suggestions obviously relativize or water down the absolute rightness
of any single position, the religious debunker will be accused
of a lack
of faith, a lack
of commitment (even
worse than a lack
of faith), a lack
of team spirit, a rebelliousness
against divinely established authority and, naturally, an irreverence toward holy and sacred things.
it is his fault Bolly from Borehamwood He gets paid in excess
of eight million a year to have alternatives when things go
bad, to motivate players when the run
of play is
against them, to buy players who are capable and good enough to NOT hit the woodwork time and time again, to sell players who are off form and who fail to deliver on thier promised talent, in effect TO MANAGE the
team.
A Tuesday night game

I can nitpick on each
of our 14 players performance in this game if i want, but I happen to think that overall, obtaining a draw
against a title contender playing away, especially playing with 10 men for almost 45 minutes, was not such a
bad result after all, not only if the standard is applied to a fragile
team such as AFC, but also if it were to be applied to some other «fantastic»
team such as for example, Leicester... I can imagine that if we were to loose the game the way Leicester did at the Emirates, many (visitors to this site) would be condemning our players bottlers, chokers instead
of hailing them for defending bravely for 20 minutes with 10 men... LOL..
If you love the club, missing just one home game in the scale
of things is hardly
worse than sitting through 18 other home games (and 19 away games) witnessing the pathetic decapitulation by our

against Aston Villa, and WestHam in the last three years).
You can't keep giving up 120 - plus points every night and blowing big leads

but its a bit sad to see that i as i know more about arsenal fans than other fans, to say from the bottom
of my heart, that the fans on here are as
worse as the
worst if not the
worst fans out there... arsenal being on a run, with özil scoring one
of the best goals i have ever seen on tuesday, draws
against the best defensive side in the league and no they arent stoke city or something they are SPURS equally title challenger as any
of arsenal man city, man united, chelsea, liverpool, a
team that sent man city home when they (city) looked unbeatable..

Chelsea will lose, my prediction is 4 - 1, maybe i am wrong, maybe we will win 5 - 1, LOL Who knows what will happened, i am feeling that we will trash them, this is same chelsea
team which lost
against Psg, they are nothing special, they will win league, but to consider them that much better than us is crazy, for me they are in same hat with us, Bayern, Real and Barca are above, this is reality, we had awfull start
of season due to
bad preparation, but we need to give our players credit they deserve, we are equally good as chelsea.

we have at most 4 real quality outfielders i.e. players that other top european
teams would take... ozil sanchez santi and kos... in my books you need 6... we are two short but
worse the quality
of others is lower than needed... only bellerin coq and wilshere have that potential... and there are problems with each still... we should have put in bids in june for griezman kondogbia and the Burussia striker as all could have been prized away with right bid plus players thrown in IMO... now its too late and wenger is in some weird gallic world
of existential hope and denial and fans are just praying we do nt lose opening 2 matches for first time in over two decades... but no one is really confident
against a
team which is sure to finish around mid table...
However, looking at what Sutton is inviting the other
team to do and extrapolating from that what his real fear is and what the real weakness
of this defense is combined with the performance
against Oakland shows that this is most likely not
bad luck on 50/50 balls, but a true weakness that was desperately trying to be hidden by scheming.
But I have been saying the same thing about Sanchez since last season, his first game in the Charity shield and then that game
against Villa earlier last season when he played striker, I noticed that he was so poor in possession and can't link up play with his

worst passing for a player
of his calibre..

of those
teams, and with the committee referencing the concept

against Kansas).

On a side note, I couldn't help but think 2 predominant thoughts when watching the game
against Bournemouth on the weekend: (1) Wenger is still willing to put his own personal agenda ahead
of the
team's best interests when it comes to
team selection, which luckily for us didn't cost us the 3 points this time and (2) if Eddie Howe is earmarked to be the successor we are in deep trouble because he's simply a poor man's version
of our present manager, as he's tactically inept and has an even
worse road record.
here's my big hope, is that hopefully with the return
of walcott and that win
against anderlecht maybe something might (like
bad form) break in the season for us now and we hopefully go on a bit

bad fixture til then mostly mid to lower league
team (apart from the pool and united) not to be underestimated but winnable, we might just save our season till the next window very important period for us if we want to do anything in the league this season, if in top 2 or 3 buy jan i for one will be chuffed to bits then with all players back push on from there for massive optimism is my middle name COYG

against top

of game so much they put a shit load
of goals passed him... It's not just that's he is slow it's also because he is one
