The metrics all show that United has made significant development this season, enough to be
better than every other club in the league bar City.
Not exact matches
Mr. Flew's
best - known plaint for atheism, «Theology and Falsification,» was delivered in 1950 to the Socratic
Club, chaired by none
other than C.S. Lewis.
This seems to suggest that our
club knows
better than every
other perennial giant in the sport, which is highly unlikely considering our glaring lack of results over the past decade.
Over a ten - year career between Barranquilla, Minerven, Atletico Junior,
Club Brugge, Sevilla and Milan, Bacca has made 324 league appearances and scored 167 goals —
better than a goal every
other game.
I've always maintained my stance that Arsene Wenger loves French players in his team
than any
other players.No matter how average you are once you're French and once you're in the first team he tends to give you so many chances to prove yourself.I can start mentioning them if you want me to but I know you know them.If Lucas Perez was French he wouldn't have been out so early believe me.I just don't know where to begin.Was Giroud bought to become a super sub or to be the leading striker?Having giving us many sesons of failure people are now content with him being a so called super sub.A player like Giroud is not built for that kind of role.He ws a super sub in 99 % of those matches because he was not played when he was supposed to and we needed presence in the air.The funny thing is people are using only this season to label him as a super sub.There were so many matched that Wenger should have started Giroud but for some reason didn't start him.I only see Arsenal as the top
club who'd be crying over Giroud.If a
good offer comes we should sell.
this tells me that the financial prudence we have extolled as prudent for the
clubs future and for the adherence to FFP is really a smoke and mirrors situation we need a striker (opinions differ to which one) we need cover for Le Coq (again opinions differ) and maybe we need one
other in another area of the pitch, but if we don't get them we wont be
better than we were this year and we wont move closer to the real glory.
For that kind of money you'll be getting far more talented players.If you watch a lot of football you'll know this.He has age mates that are
better than him but their not yet being talked about because some are in average teams and
others are yet to be given a proper stage.Also, Monaco never wanted to sell Mbappe and Lemar this season.If Arsenal were interested in any
other players we would have gotten them long ago.They might have even demanded more
than # 80 if many
clubs were interested and honestly speaking can you blame them?Is he the only talented winger that Arsenal are looking at?We have to spend money wisely and this ain't wise business.
You and I can go back to those days when Arsenal were just another team and to support them was so difficult as
other clubs were far and away
better than us in every department.
But, sadly, Kennedy also can rely on the fact that seven
other clubs in the National League look
better than his.
It is
better to accept
other clubs are
better than us and fix it.
modern football is all about a defensive midfielder who can be the one to cover the 2 CBs and not leave them hanging whenever a mistake is done in the midfield also if you can remember when we bought nacho monreal he was supposed to cover a position in the midfield and now is left back for 3 — 4 years and this is unacceptable if you see
other clubs the build the teams over the DM so that the rest midfielders can create we bought this mess ozil which from day one he is not performing and not adjusting to BPL i don't know my friend i am speaking my mind from here in Athens so you who are in UK you now
better than me and you can press for quality players
Again Manchester United showing when it comes to attracting promising players they are
better than other English
clubs even though they are below us.
You can say the Ramsey you see now is perhaps already operating at his optimum level and nothing more can be expected of him, which is the
best any
club could wish for from a player and hence I believe Wenger has shown loyalty to him more
than any
other British player in our team.
Besides several teams who have questions surrounding one or possibly two players, there is no squad that has so many issues heading into the final week of the transfer window... even Monaco, who have lost numerous players from their starting 11 have less controversy swirling in and around their
club and they have champion's league play to contend with this season... just think of how ridiculous this situation is especially considering that we have had the same manager for over 20 years... no team should be
better organized
than ours... if nothing else, that should be the one advantage this team holds over all
others, yet the exact opposite has occurred... this fact is even more disturbing considering the main argument against removing Wenger from his managerial position was that there was no suitable replacement and that people feared some sort of perceived drop - off if a new manager was brought into the mix... based on what we've witnessed since the time of his contract renewal a monkey with a magic eight ball could have done an adequate job... I hate to make jokes, in light of our current dilemma, but this team is so screwed up if I don't laugh about it, the only plausible response is to either cry or do something incredibly destructive... just look around this squad and try to see what our delusional manager sees that allow him to make such positive statements about our current team
Bar Chelsea, United and Bayern does anyone realize we have a
better GK
than almost every
other club?
Despite him looking a bit rusty, Giroud will start as his record against Newcastle is
better than against any
other club.
Wengers job during that period was to maintain CL football and a profit,
well I have come to that conclusion after looking at the facts surronding what has actually happened rather
than rumors, he is paid
well because he managed to do something which
other managers have failed at... being a selling
club and still maintaining regular CL football.
Make sense if at this point, I suggest that AOBs to cheer
other club who they think
better than Arsenal.
OF course you can't blame him for everything, but everything football related yes he runs that side of the
club without interference from anyone, here is a man who blames everything and everyone
other than ever looking at himself when the team loses a game, for how many years has the
club been crying out for a world - class dm, he refused to buy player's to compliment ozil and Sanchez, yes 100 percent, a
better manager would get more from the same players..
Whilst I agree that Kroenke is huge problem as
well as Wenger, and that our next manager may face the same financial restrictions, one has to acknowledge that even with these restrictions, Arsenal are still
better off
than almost every
other club in the premiership and have one of highest wage bills in the world.
I'm so sick of people telling those of us who are disgruntled fans to relax and give this
club time to correct itself... for anyone who believes that taking a wait - and - see approach is appropriate at this juncture they should take a
good long look at themselves in the mirror because they are a big part of the problem... no
other «big»
club's fans would stand for this shit for nearly as long as we have... think about it, we've witnessed a changing of the guard at every major
club in England, Spain, France and Germany in the last several years because those «big»
clubs failed to live up to expectations (Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern, PSG, Chelsea, ManU, ManCity etc...)... for some reason, many fans have become as fragile as our current manager, believing that there couldn't possibly be a suitable replacement, even though everyone of these
clubs have found multiple replacements and still achieved far more
than our
club... this mindset has been created by an organization that has been milking it's fans, telling countless lies (no world class players available) and lowering expectations every since they rolled out the biggest lie of all: that we couldn't spend because of the new stadium but once it was paid off we could compete with any team in the world... this organization is rotting from the inside out and if we don't demand that those in charge put soccer first this despicable behaviour won't end with Wenger's ridiculous 2 year contract... I think the real fear isn't that a suitable replacement doesn't exist, but that this organization is so money hungry and poorly mismanaged that we will sink even lower by choosing our next coach the same way they choose our players, on the cheap... even so, we need to see what mustache will do if left to his own devices so he will have to show his true colours... only then can we purge this
club and start anew
And just for
good measure the Frenchman pointed out, as reported by Metro, that Arsenal are in a
better position having a player like Alexis desperate to play
than some
other clubs having the opposite sort of problem with the likes of Diego Costa and Dimitri Payet.
Fans fail to see that we are blessed to have a DM like coquelin, I mean look at how solid our team has become when he plays.His defensive qualities are what please me the most.Coquelin reads the game really
well and knows exactly where an opponent is going to drop the next pass that is why you see him making so many interceptions because he reads the game
well and he is not afraid to challenge for the ball.He is also very desciplined withe ball and passes the ball quick enough to start a counter attack.So for me, I couldn't ask for another DM
than Coquelin please let's learn to appreciate what we have.Schneiderlin, Wanyama, Kondogbia etc are highly rated because they play for
other clubs if they were playing for Arsenal we would have branded them «average players», we would be crying for Wenger to sign «world class DMs».
We are paying out millions to two players (Walcott and Wilshire) who are either not willing or unable to deliver the
good on the field and this seems a very odd stance for a
club who refuses to get involved in the big buy figures
than many
other clubs do when purchasing their new players.
Well written, but I think it will fall on deaf ears, my fear is as follows, it will take a loss in money for the manager and board to change, this will only come if we finish out of the top 4, but knowing the board they would still give home a season to try again, I feel very sorry for Sanchez, he is total quality and deserves
better, most of the
other players look settled, turn up give70 % and get paid, no matter what level you play at you should come off the pitch thinking I gave everything, how many of our players could say that, they lack motivation, player for player we are as
good if not
better than athletico Madrid but they have a manger that gets 100 % out of every player, Klopp is the same, but why would they leave their
clubs to come here with a boar that cares about money not entertainment, Wenger was a lucky manager he inherited a top defence now his luck has run out
With the
other top Gunner Mesut Ozil also in talks over a new contract you would expect the German international and his people to be looking at a similar sort of deal to keep them happy as
well, but revelations last week showed that such a huge pay rise for two of the players already on more money
than their
club colleagues would have put us in a precarious position.
Almost anyone else in the
club other than Ozil or Cazorla should be used on the LW — Ox, Poldi, Campbell, even Sanchez, Rosicky or Wilshere would be
better.
Just compare the way Arsenal treat their players to
other teams.You'll clearly see the difference.The way we treat our players makes them feel so big.Just look at the way Fabregas and Van Persie behaved before leaving.They go to
other clubs and they look
good but you always know they were
better under Arsenal.I can't think of one top player who left Arsenal and was
better.If the player has pride the team should also know they have their pride.No player is bigger
than any
club and hence all players should be treated with that in mind..
Whatever The reason is Cesc Made the wrong Choice, he felt he needed to go home, Arsenal were his home, Wenger was his father, who knows were he would be without arsenal signing him, its not all the La masia products that make it big, e.g Muniesa, Cuenca, and previously bojan, who was teammates with cesc, Out of respect for the
Club and the fans not Wenger he should have joined another team
other than Chelsea or Man utd, He wouldnt have joined Real Madrid If It were barca who had the clause, He Screwed up big time, and He had the potential to be Arsenals greatest ever Midfielder and one of the
best Captains, Arsenal = Fabregas like Henry = Arsenal, but he messed that up, Utterly disgusted to see him in that Shitty Blue Jersey, He is just like the
others and should not be excused
And sonner rather
than later, all our
good players will start joining
other clubs in search of Trophies i.e Ozil, Theo, Sanchez, Ramsey, Koscienly, Carzola.
But on the
other hand, after all his contributions for out team in the past few seasons, i'm happy for him because he stands a
better chance to win something with Manure
than our
club, that hurts more (even Ian Wright confessed that), we cant even assure a top class player of anything anymore,,, i» scared for ozil and wilshere leaving too....
In any
other instance when a player rebels against the
club and coach for whatever reason there is no room for doubt, disciplinary actions must be taken, even when he is your best player...... it could be the case even for SANCHEZ, those words no player is greater than the Club are well understood, the problem in this case is that a growing majority of the Fans are fed up with the Club and Manager, years of frustration, deception nothing changing and doing nothing about it has the great majority of Fans siding with the Player against the Club and Manager...... unfortunately both lost the respect of most ARSENAL fans, there is a revolt brewing YES like every year the difference this year is that losing Sanchez will not go without consequence

there is no doubting that Arsene has helped to provide us with some incredible footballing moments in the formative years of his managerial career at Arsenal, but that certainly doesn't and shouldn't mean that he has earned the right to decide when and how he should leave this
club... there have been numerous managers at each of the biggest
clubs in Europe throughout the last decade who have waged far more successful campaigns
than ours yet somehow and someway each were given their walking papers because they failed to meet the standards laid out by the hierarchy of their respective
clubs... of course that doesn't mean that
clubs should simply follow the lead of
others, especially if
clubs of note have become too reactionary when it comes to issues of termination, for whatever reasons, but there should be some logical discourse when it comes to the setting of parameters for a changing of the guard... in the case of Arsenal, this sort of discourse was largely stifled when the higher - ups devised their sinister plan on the eve of our move to the Emirates... by giving Wenger a free pass due to supposed financial constraints he, unwittingly or not, set the bar too low... it reminds me of a landlord who says he will only rent to «professional people» to maintain a certain standard then does a complete about face when the market is lean and vacancies are up... for those who rented under the original mandate they of course feel cheated but there is little they can do, except move on, especially if the landlord clearly cares more about profitability
than keeping their word... unfortunately for the lifelong fans of a football
club it's not so easy to switch allegiances and frankly why should they, in most cases we have been around far longer
than them... so how does one deal with such an untenable situation... do you simply shut - up and hope for the
best, do you place the
best interests of those with only self - serving agendas above the collective and pray that karma eventually catches up with them, do you run away with your tail between your legs and only return when things have ultimately changed, do you keep trying to find silver linings to justify your very existence, do you lower your expectations by convincing yourself it could be worse or do you stand up for what you believe in by holding people accountable for their actions, especially when every fiber of your being tells you that something is rotten in the state of Denmark
In addition, you can't compare our past situation to the
other clubs, we don't rely on the owner's money, during our financial struggle we couldn't afford to gamble cash on a DiMaria, Arshavin was proof enough that it was
better to be safe
than sorry.
Joining a
club of arsenal s stature has its ups and downs.There is a requirement of how our players should perform when on the pitch.The following is a list of players who were wrong to choose arsenal.Aaron ramsey - Even though he is the most favoured of all players at the
club now.I cant help but think how it would have gone for Him if he decided to search for
other greener pastures.He was a clear talented footballer during his time at cardiff but he hasnt been raised with the discipline at arsenal.You can always see ramseys all round strengths but sadly Its not helping him or the
club with his foward moving pleasurr.He is so Over used and its sometimes difficult for him to get used to the rythm of the game.With time you realise he gets low ib confidence and his engine gets wasted.He needed somebody who would have managed him properly and with care and that person is certainpy not wenger.You would have been
better off at Manu mate.Calum chambers - Came us a very talented player from southampton with raw talent.He was very
good at first but wenger found a way to reduce his level of confidence.His inexperience was left exposed and wenger did nt do anything to resolve that problem and instead He looked for
other talented players.Alex oxlade chamberlain - Another very talented player who needed only his skilled sharpened and his character modelled.That and he was ready to become a world beater.But wenger decided to let him run and run like a headless chicken causing him to be often injured and damaging his confidence.Who knows what would have happened to him gad he decided to look for more greener pasture.He is surely a much
better player
than this.Theo walcott - Another player who was tipped to have a very bright future.He had it in him.But all he needed was an appropriate manager who would nurture him with discipline and help him with his talent.But on Coming to arsenal he was given Much more responsiblities putting more weight on his shoulders on top of that another player who was recklessly managed with his talent and never coming off age because his character wasnt properly shaped.Mesut ozil - Al right i agree he perfoms
well just recently.But imagine all the legendary players he was often compared to during his time at real madrid.On coming to arsenal he found no rotation often overused, suffered many injuries and his confidence dwindled.It is pretty clear arsene does not take any responsibility for players.And when at arsenal you have to be your own manager.You need not rely on your manager otherwise you might continue being the same player for the next many years.That is why each and every player are what they are because of their own efforts and wenger had nothing to do with it.Van persie was the same player for over 7 years untill he himself decided to change.Wenger only organises and prepares tge team while the rest is in your court.It is not what so many people make it out to be.Thats why we need to pressure wenger more
than our own players.They are their own self managers and wenger needs to take that responsibility
Arsenal just needs to pay him what he demands, we will never get a
better striker
than him, every
other TOP striker out there are happy with there
clubs and given the amount
clubs spend on fringe strikers, i will rather have Alexis all day every time.
Rather
than be sitting on the bench or playing with the reserves these players are getting valuable experience and playing time with
other clubs, and we are already getting
good reports on Gnabry, Toral, Wellington, Zelalem, Maitland - Niles, Hayden and of course Akpom, who has already scored twice for Hull.
The team does not do
well at home compared to
other top teams as the «fanz» are admirers of
other teams, just think they know more
than the man who put this
club to compete with big money.
I'd rather make a contribution of 20 goals and 18 assists in all competitions to be crowned Bundesliga champion, DFB Pokal champions as
well as be a strong contender in the UCL
than score 24 EPL goals and 10 assists or more and still not make top four at the end of the season... ask Henry who left the
club to win the UCL with a Barca... please can u give me ten examples of «
other top teams»...
So not only does Wenger have to identify a player that is significantly
better than what we already have, he then has to compete with all the
other clubs in Europe after a striker, including Man United, Man City and Liverpool and that is just England.
arsenal as a big and rich
club they didn't spent so much money to buy
best players in the past years like the
other big
clubs so this time it is a must that arsenal buys
best defender, midfielder and striker and as
well keep Sanchez valuing the service that he will be giving next season mote
than # 50 m which will also protect him not to play against arsenal at least for the coming season, and who knows after wards..
While
other EPL
clubs play Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich in pre-season in order to gauge themselves against the very
best, to see what needs to be added to their squad, Arsenal plays Singapore 11, Lyon, Everton etc. to see where we are, this my friend serves two purposes, 1) Maybe our aspiration is no higher
than Lyon, Everton and Singapore level and also to pull the wool over our eyes by dominating much lesser teams to generate massive support for the status quo.
Find me another manager that has had a bigger and
better influence at a
club than Le Prof
other than these men and get him in the dugout.
The FA Cup, may be... We just can not challenge for the major trophies... This is just not a top
club... We look like one with a great stadium and massive fan based, but
other than the sporting aspect of the
club classed us as «nobody» amongst the
best...!!!
That's because getting rid of Kroenke, Gazidis
other board members although might satisfy some peoples wonderlust, it won't do us no
good and could destabilise the
club entirely for longer
than we might be able to withstand.
Good article with plenty of variations each way.To my mind AFC as a club should have been tying Sánchez down 2 years ago, and Ozil should have been included at the same time.We could see how good they were and that clubs with more ambition and forward thinking than us (NOTE - Wenger and the Board you f *** ing TWATS) would gladly offer them better terms financially.These 2 are as good as we could possibly have and we have allowed this situation to happen.Sure Sanchez has gone for the wages but can you blame him?If he was tied down on a contract like he should have been then it would be us calling the shots and not Sánchez and his agent.So the answer is NO I'm more angry with the Board and Management than the player who will soon be playing under the most hated manager of all time.They deserve each ot

Until the fans forcefully take the
club back, the usual continues: Arsene's legacy of loving failure and excuses, arsenal being brilliant for some weeks and losing decisive games at crucial time, a
good run at fa cup, injuries more
than any
other top
club, AKBs declaring total support for brilliant Wenger, the American animal torturer giving prof contract extension, Usmanov making weak attempts at takeover, Dangote forever promising to buy us out; and in that time, all the major
clubs each clinch a prem title again, even spud having a taste, while for almost two decades we have been dreaming under Arsene's sedatives!
Actually winning cups getting to those finals by beating the
best teams in the leagues even though we lost one to the
best team in the league this year is more
than one fact and what the guy stated in the article is a host of statistical facts and we sniffed the league in 2016 every one but us failed to beat the champions that year twice there is a host of facts that hold up success here an mostly ranting opinions saying yea we won cups and made it to finals so what, we did nt win ecl or epl only 1 team does that and
other than Leicester which we were 2nd only city, mu and chelsea have won since we last won so not many
clubs do that and totten ham hasnt won a cup since 2008 we have won 5 in 8 seasons and been to 3
other finals
Well actually it doesn't «hurt» me, not one bit, I don't give a monkeys what any
club other than AFC does in the window.
Apart from Southampton no
other clubs have a
better record
than Arsenal in bringing academy players through.
