for are the same
big guys from 10 or 20 years ago (Microsoft, Oracle, AT&T, etc.) who are the long - entrenched stakeholders and «powers - who - be» in your space — not because they're great innovators or disruptors, but because: (a) they're increasingly well - informed about who's doing what very well (damn those demo days); (b) they're fairly fast followers with great gobs of money; and (c) they have the people, resources, and patience to hang around and keep
buying and trying until they eventually get
things right in the long run.
Two years ago it was spending hundreds of millions of dollars on venture capital investments in food delivery, group

for this order is that, in general, if the potential market isn't
big enough, all the other
things don't matter, and if the market is
big enough but you can't identify the

Most of ye probably didn't support arsenal when Wenger was classed as one of the most wanted managers in Europe and was putting it up to Utd and winning trophies every yr
things are different now the moving stadium all that less whinging give it a bit of time he is starting to spend and I'm sure he will
buy 1 or 2 in Jan and a few
big signings nxt summer and I hope he goes out on a high man gets ridiculed by knobs like ye on a regular basis players want to play
for him
big star players like his style wake up a bit as long as he is in charge the club is in good hands
Pro: This allows

things play out just right.
lets all thank arsene
for finally doing the right
thing only time will tell but have we finally signed the DM we need STRONG MINDED NO HOLD BAR MIDFIELDER WE HAVE ALL CRAVED, but lets take it back we all know it will take 2 or 3 more like minded players to make us great again, he has tricked us all
buy buying one superstar in the last 3 windows ALEXIS, OZIL and CHEC great players but can't do it all on their own, spending huge amount of money and saying we can
buy the best players, on the surface this looks great we are
buying top top players
big prices but instead of spending his usual 50 mill on 2, 3, 4, 0r 5 players he has pulled the wool over are eyes with 1 superstar thinking the fans are that dumb enough to believe it, infact he has never spent his budget only balanced on sales too purchases, i love arsenal but this summer i hope
for more he needs to do that consistently through out the team spend the same amount on the team stop balancing the american owners, grow a pair say yes we will
buy a top defender and a world class striker, stan we love arsenal please be one of us do whats needed then you will fell proud as we are and we will adore you
for it.
The only
thing which makes our team unbalanced is playing the luxury item we
bought called ozil.I thought he would need time to adjust to physicality of premier league so i supported him, but the guy hasn't improved he tries to dribble past ppl but runs into them somehow, tries to do showboating at unnecessary time which he fails to do miserably.And i see him giving too many back passes when he should drive forward.And the
biggest reason i stopped liking him as a player is bcoz of his sulky attitude.No passion or drive
for the club, as if he wanted to be at some other club and is just doing the job without his heart in it.He neeeds to be placed on the bench and make him work hard to retain his place.Ramsey and coq in middle with ox and sanchez on both wing and cazorla as cam will make us a more balanced midfield.
but the long - term solution is
for AFC to get rid of itself of what has now become its
biggest liability: a manager that well past his prime that * is ultimately unambituous (not
buying the best players), * ineffective in transfer windows by not paying enough or having enough backups, * passing on players like fabergas & getting kalstrom, * unable to motivate his players up
for the
big games, * unable to get the best out of his team by putting them in weird lineups, * favoritism to certain players, shuns others (like pod / roz until they lose their skills), * inability / unwillingness to adapt formation
for big games,... thank you
for the memories wenger: all good
things must come to an end.

thing for sure if some of these youngsters stop coming up because of

He can be trained as the fourth cb aswell Rodrigues
for me is the next
big thing at left back but wenger wouldn't want to
buy someone ahead of Gibbs we have more pressing matters anyhow like a world class dm and cb
Although I've found it very cathartic to speak, vent and end occasionally rant about all
things Arsenal, we need to act carefully and intelligently right now or we're going to get played by this club even worse than at present... the pro-Wengerites and the suits, who represent a considerable proportion of the season ticket holders, don't want to believe that there is no plan and that Wenger has mailed it in
for several years now or that
things are going to get much worse before they get better... why would they... many have spent a considerable sum
buying some of the highest priced tickets in the World... they want to have a front row seat to see something special and to be seen doing so, which simply provides ample justification
for the expense and the time invested... to many of them, Wenger is the sun in their soccer universe... his awkward disposition, misplaced arrogance and his utter lack of balls makes him a rather unusual cult figure, but the cerebral narrative seemed to embolden those who already felt pretty highly of themselves... many might not even of really liked football that much before his arrival and rarely games they weren't attending... as such, they desperately believe that Wenger, and only Wenger, can supply them with their required fix... if he goes, they were wrong and that's a tough pill to swallow... they would have to admit that they were duped... they will definitely resent whoever made them feel this way, but of course it will be too late by then... so when we go overboard with ridiculous comments bordering of anarchy, it scares the shit out of them and they shift their blame towards us rather than at those who really perpetrated this act of treason... we aren't the enemy... we simply woke much earlier and the reason our comments have gotten more vile in recent years is out of utter frustration... in order
for any real change to occur at this club we need to bring as many supporters as possible with us or the
big money interests will fade and our ultimate objective will be lost... so it's time to focus on the head instead of the heart
for now
In the year we have
bought Ozil, it was a miracle come true, but the
thing is that in that same year we lost the opertuneties to
buy Higuain, and we made a 40m and 1 bid
for Suarez (
big joke) At that time the best striker in the world.
Sounds like Wenger wanted Arsenal to
buy him and Wenger has
big things planned
for him.
Bayern has
bought Hummels & I doubt they will go
for someone else... some names are out there less experience and cache but have already proven
big things and knocking at the door: Kostas (Roma), Marquinhos (PSG), Laporte (Bilbao), Gimenez / Lucas (Atletico), Stones (Everton)... competition
for those will be fierce but get one of them and your set!
Time
for some brutal honesty... this team, as it stands, is in no better position to compete next season than they were 12 months ago, minus the fact that some fans have been easily snowed by the acquisition of Lacazette, the free transfer LB and the release of Sanogo... if you look at the facts carefully you will see a team that still has far more questions than answers... to better show what I mean by this statement I will briefly discuss the current state of affairs on a position - by - position basis... in goal we have 4 potential candidates, but in reality we have only 1 option with any real future and somehow he's the only one we have actively tried to get rid of
for years because he and his father were a little too involved on social media and he got caught smoking (funny how people still defend Wiltshire under the same and far worse circumstances)... you would think we would want to keep any goaltender that Juventus had interest in, as they seem to have a pretty good history when it comes to that position... as far as the defenders on our current roster there are only a few individuals whom have the skill and / or youth worthy of our time and / or investment, as such we should get rid of anyone who doesn't meet those simple requirements, which means we should get rid of DeBouchy, Gibbs, Gabriel, Mertz and loan out Chambers to see if last seasons foray with Middlesborough was an anomaly or a prediction of
things to come... some fans have lamented wildly about the return of Mertz to the starting lineup due to his FA Cup performance but these sort of pie in the sky meanderings are indicative of what's wrong with this club and it's wishy - washy fan - base... in addition to these moves the club should aggressively pursue the acquisition of dominant and mobile CB to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed on numerous occasions over the past 5 seasons... moving forward and building on our need to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle of the park we need to target a CDM then do whatever it takes to get that player into the fold without any of the usual nickel and diming we have become famous
for (this kind of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special players and certainly can't help make the player in question feel good about the way their future potential employer feels about them)... in order
for us to become dominant again we need to be strong up the middle again from Goalkeeper to CB to DM to ACM to striker, like we did in our most glorious years before and during Wenger's reign... with this in mind, if we want Ozil to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep leaving him exposed to constant ridicule about his lack of defensive prowess and provide him with the proper players in the final third... he was never a good defensive player in Real or with the German National squad and they certainly didn't suffer as a result of his presence on the pitch... as
for the rest of the midfield the blame falls squarely in the hands of Wenger and Gazidis, the fact that Ramsey, Ox, Sanchez and even Ozil were allowed to regularly start when none of the aforementioned had more than a year left under contract is criminal
for a club of this size and financial might... the fact that we could find money
for Walcott and Xhaka, who weren't even guaranteed starters, means that our whole business model needs a complete overhaul...
for me it's time to get rid of some serious deadweight, even if it means selling them below what you believe their market value is just to simply right this ship and change the stagnant culture that currently exists... this means saying goodbye to Wiltshire, Elneny, Carzola, Walcott and Ramsey... everyone, minus Elneny, have spent just as much time on the training table as on the field of play, which would be manageable if they weren't so inconsistent from a performance standpoint (excluding Carzola, who is like the recent version of Rosicky — too bad, both will be deeply missed)... in their places we need to bring in some proven performers with no history of injuries... up front, although I do like the possibilities that a player like Lacazette presents, the fact that we had to wait so many years to acquire some true quality at the striker position falls once again squarely at the feet of Wenger... this issue highlights the ultimate scam being perpetrated by this club since the arrival of Kroenke: pretend your a small market club when it comes to making purchases but milk your fans like a
big market club when it comes to ticket prices and merchandising... I believe the reason why Wenger hasn't pursued someone of Henry's quality, minus a fairly inexpensive RVP, was that he knew that they would demand players of a similar ilk to be brought on board and that wasn't possible when the business model was that of a «selling» club... does it really make sense that we could only make a cheeky bid
for Suarez, or that we couldn't get Higuain over the line when he was being offered up
for half the price he eventually went to Juve
for, or that we've only paid any interest to strikers who were clearly not going to press their current teams to let them go to Arsenal like Benzema or Cavani... just part of the facade that finally came crashing down when Sanchez finally called their bluff... the fact remains that no one wants to win more than Sanchez, including Wenger, and although I don't agree with everything that he has done off the field, I would much rather have Alexis front and center than a manager who has clearly
bought into the Kroenke model in large part due to the fact that his enormous ego suggests that only he could accomplish great
things without breaking the bank... unfortunately that isn't possible anymore as the game has changed quite dramatically in the last 15 years, which has left a largely complacent and complicit Wenger on the outside looking in... so don't blame those players who demanded more and were left wanting... don't blame those fans who have tried desperately to raise awareness
for several years when cracks began to appear... place the blame at the feet of those who were well aware all along of the potential pitfalls of just such a plan but continued to follow it even when it was no longer a financial necessity, like it ever really was...

@ larryking listen jock wenger could never coach anyother club because no
big club would go six season without a trophy there is no way wenger could go to madrid and go two season without a trophy no way in hell he would be fired in no time bmunich fired klinsman less than half season look at the real madrid coach grave yard pelligrinie made 95 + points last season that amount would win the league in almost any country yet he got fired i can go on if fergi goes two seasons without a trophy am sure he gone i love arsenal but football is about winning trophies wenger has hypnotize you i do nt care arsenal have gone five years without a trophy and six witout the league not even a carling cup or fa cup and loosing all our best players all
for money all this talk about wenger and his youth policies i can count on both hands all the players that came through arsenal youth system that went on to be world beaters look at the current crop walcott nasri diaby denilson bedtner clichy none of these are world class they have improve minimal @ arsenal compare that to barca their youths pedro and co are world beaters event the great vanpercy who we rate he would never leave arsenal because all that chance wenger gives him he would» t get at other
big clubs this does not make sense we
buy young players they take ages to develop most do nt» t then we sell them or they leave because they want to win
things that how you grow pretty soon that top four will become very hard to stay in if we get out of that then what i wish all you wenger fans luck am all out of patients with him last chance this year................
The
biggest essential -
for - us
thing we DID end up
buying new after the first couple of weeks were our carriers.
But there's a
big difference between not being able to afford the very best
thing because you have to
buy two, and being stretched too thin with daycare or having no options
for schooling.
Another
thing is shopping in the clearance section
for next year's clothes... I just make sure I
buy them
big enough to fit
for the next year, and end up saving tons of money!»
For me cost plays a
big factor in a lot of
things that I
buy, or my attitude toward how something will work.
Good
thing I only had to
buy 2
things... it was a practice run... but next time I'll bring the moby
for the baby and the
big kid will sit up top like she's always done!
So you need gear
for a new baby, and you're hoping to skip the
big spending by reusing
things from your older kids, getting hand - me - downs, or
buying secondhand.
The
biggest thing to remember when
buying toys
for baby in the 9 - 12 month old group is that they are just about to walk and talk.
as
for baby clothes 40dollars is way too much but i work at tjmaxx and trust me i seen ppl come in thea nd
buy so much baby
things all
for under 40 $ there is always mismates that u can match wit stuff u already have at home... prices is as low as $ 0.30 no lie once my baby is close 2 being hea im definitely goin shoppin plus if u get
bigger clothes they last longer thats wat belts r 4

biggest of these groups, Grassroots out and UKIP,
bought these
things themselves.

For now, I'm thinking consignment shopping and
buying things at moderately priced retailers is the way to go — that way if
things start to fall apart after a few months it's not such a
big deal.
these are
bigger ticket items,
things that someone wouldn't normally
buy for themselves and that are really nice to spoil someone with this season.
For Teun I should actually
buy a dog
thing because he is a
big cat.
One last
thing to look
for when you're
buying a vest, it's best if it «falls» on your body, a vest that is too tight not only makes you look
bigger, is also unflattering and shows what you don't want to see!
I always have
big plans
for things I want to make
for Valentine's Day, but then it slips by me and the only

I think the only new

bought for our foyer besides the chalkboard is the
big fabric bunny and the little white bunny stand underneath it.
Not saying that's a bad
thing, as it has obviously worked out
for Capcom by bringing in newer players who normally wouldn't have
bought the game if there was a choice between
bigger Nintendo or 3rd party titles.
Bought this truck with 7800 miles on it and had 4 recalls in less than a year the factory bedliner in it is separating from the steel and everytiei take it to the shop and its supposed to be a work truck made tough that's a joke due to the manufacturer defects I have to miss using it on jobs to haul and if you ask for a loaner that is not included in the warranty so I have a ram that is causing me to lose money and the company wont give me a truck to use while its getting manufacturer defects fixed makes sense and well trading it in is a joke after you buy a ram they depreciate dramatically so trading it in will cost you so thought since they changed names maybe they would b better but 2 hours on the hotline about why no loaner for a working man and all I get is there is no loaner policy when your vehicle is in the shop even when it is their flaws!And what really ticked me off they wanted to patch the factory sprayed bedliner so I took it in and dropped it off we had a big hail storm and they left my truck out in it and they aren't responsible for that either and you pay 600 for a factory sprayed bedliner and its peeling up and they want to patch that spot instead of respraying the whole thing can u say cheap but they were more than happy to take my money when I bought it but they don't stand very tough in my opinion never had this many issues with my
Bought this truck with 7800 miles on it and had 4 recalls in less than a year the factory bedliner in it is separating from the steel and everytiei take it to the shop and its supposed to be a work truck made tough that's a joke due to the manufacturer defects I have to miss using it on jobs to haul and if you ask
for a loaner that is not included in the warranty so I have a ram that is causing me to lose money and the company wont give me a truck to use while its getting manufacturer defects fixed makes sense and well trading it in is a joke after you
buy a ram they depreciate dramatically so trading it in will cost you so thought since they changed names maybe they would b better but 2 hours on the hotline about why no loaner
for a working man and all I get is there is no loaner policy when your vehicle is in the shop even when it is their flaws!And what really ticked me off they wanted to patch the factory sprayed bedliner so I took it in and dropped it off we had a
big hail storm and they left my truck out in it and they aren't responsible
for that either and you pay 600
for a factory sprayed bedliner and its peeling up and they want to patch that spot instead of respraying the whole

With 755 horsepower the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette zr1 is the most powerful Corvette ever it's also the most technologically advanced behind me are the rolling s's at Road Atlanta and we're here to see if we can reach to the supercar levels of performance afforded by this
thing's massive power
big tires and the tall wing on the back after that we'll take to the streets to see if a car this powerful can behave itself in public this is a monster of a car I've had some brief track opportunities moving this morning to get used to the pace of this machine which is phenomenal we're gonna warm up as we get out to the road Atlanta and sort of build up to the pace that this car can operate at now initially when you hop in this car you have this shrine to the engine right above you you see the line of the hood it kind of dominates the center of the view you can see over it it doesn't affect visibility but it's immediately obvious and that kind of speaks to what makes this car special it's a monster of an engine listen to that [Music] that is tremendous tremendous acceleration and incredible power but what I finding so far my brief time here at the Atlanta is that everything else in the car is rut has risen to match hurt me while I lay into it on the back straight look you know 150 mile - an - hour indicated we're going to ease up a little bit on it because I need to focus on talking rather than driving but like I was saying the attributes of the rest of the car the steering the braking capability the grip every system of this car is riding to the same level of the power and I think that's what makes it really impressive initially this is undoubtedly a mega mega fast car but it's one that doesn't terrify you with its performance potential there's a level of electronic sophistication that is unparalleled at this price point but it's hard not to get you know totally slipped away by the power of this engine so that's why I keep coming back to it this car has an electronically controlled limited slip differential it has shocks filled with magnetically responsive fluid that can react faster to inputs and everything this car has a super sophisticated stability control system that teaches you how to drive it quick but also makes you go faster we haven't even gotten into exploring it yet because the limits of this car are so high that frankly it takes a while to grow into it but [Music] I think what's impressive about this car is despite how fast it is it is approachable you can
buy this car to track dates with it and grow with it as a driver and as an owner I think that's a really special [Music] because you will never be more talented than this car is fast ever unless you are a racing driver casually grazing under 50 miles an hour on this straight okay I'm just going to enjoy driving this now [Music][Applause][Music] this particular Corvette zr1 comes with the cars track performance package a lot of those changes happen underneath the sheet metal but one of the
big differences that is immediately obvious is this giant carbon fiber wing now the way this
thing is mounted is actually into the structure of the vehicle and it makes you know loading the rear hatch a bit more difficult but we're assuming that's okay if you're looking
for the track performance this
thing delivers also giving you that performance are these Michelin Pilot Sport cup tires which are basically track oriented tires that you can drive on the street but as we wake our way to the front of the
thing what really matters is what's under the hood that's right there's actually a hole in the hood of this
thing and that's because this engine is so tall it's tall because it has a larger supercharger and a bunch of added cooling on it to help it you know keep at the right temperature the supercharger is way larger than the one on the zo six and it has a more cooling capacity and the downside is it's taller so it pops literally through the hood the cool
thing is from the top you can actually see this shake when you're looking at it from you know a camera from the top of the vehicle this all makes
for 755 horsepower making this the most powerful Corvette ever now what's important about that is this not just the power but likewise everything in the car has to be built to accommodate and be able to drive to the level of speed this
thing can develop that's why you had the massive cooling so I had the aerodynamics and that's why I had the electronic sophistication inside [Applause] we had a lot of time to take this car on the track yesterday and I've had the night to think about
things Matt today two crews on the road and see how this extreme performance machine deals with the sort of more civil minded stuff of street driving the track impressions remain this
thing is unquestionably one of the most capable cars you can get from a dealer these days a lot of that's besides the point now because we're on the street we have speed limits they have the ever - present threat of law enforcement around every corner so the question is what does this car feel like in public when you slow this car down it feels like a more powerful Corvette you don't get much tram lining from these
big wheels though we as the front end doesn't want to follow grooves in the pavement it is louder it is a little firmer but it's certainly livable on a day to day basis that's surprising
for a vehicle of this capability normally these track oriented cars are so hardcore that you wouldn't want to drive them to the racetrack but let's face it you spend more time driving to the track than you do on the track and the fact that this
thing works well in both disciplines is really impressive I can also dial everything back and cruise and not feel like I'm getting punished
for driving a hardcore track machine that's a that's a really nice accomplishment that's something that you won't find in cars that are this fast and costs maybe double this much the engine in this car dominates the entire experience you can't miss the engine and the whole friend this car is sort of a shrine to it the way it pops out of the hood the way it's covered with coolers around the sides it is the experience of this car and that does make driving this
thing special and also the fact that it doesn't look half bad either in fact I think it has some of the coolest looking wheels currently available on a new car this car as we mentioned this car has the track package the track package on this car gives you what they call competition bucket seats which are a little wide
for my tastes but I'm you know not the widest person in the world this automatic transmission works well I mean there's so much torque again out of this engine that it can be very smooth and almost imperceptible its clunky on occasion I think I'd might opt
for the manual although Chevy tells me about 80 % of its customers will go
for the automatic I don't think they're gonna be disappointed and that's gonna be the faster transmission drag strip on the street - and on the racetrack man it was a little bit more satisfying to my taste though we've talked about the exhaust I have it set in the track setting let's quiet it down a little bit so you can hear the difference now I've set that separately from everything else so let's put it stealth what happened to the engine sound that's pretty that's pretty amazing man stealth is really stealth and then go back to track Wow actually a really
big difference that's that's pretty great the Corvette has always been a strong value proposition and nowhere is that more evident than this zr1 giving you a nearly unbeatable track performance per dollar now the nice
thing is on the road this doesn't feel like a ragged edge track machine either you could genuinely drive it every day the compromises are few and that's what makes this car so special if you like what you see keep it tuned right here and be sure to visit Edmunds.com [Music]
