You've captured the spirit of the upcoming
change of seasons just perfectly!
I love
the change of seasons just for the change of clothing — shoes especially!!
Not exact matches
The harvest is only about six weeks long, in March and April, when the
change of seasons offers
just the right mix
of cool nights and warm days to force sap to flow through the sugar maple tree.
It's
just a matter
of learning how to navigate the waters so that come tax
season next year, you're better prepared to handle the
changes.
Just love the
change of seasons!
You
just hang on, because like fall — a
season of change is coming.
It's harder than most people think to find the light and the manipulations to it required to create the vision
of your artistry and the
changing seasons adds a new wrinkle to the process for sure...
Just know I'm there with ya, sister!
I heartily agree that this
change of seasons is
just calling out for applesauce, curried butternut squash soup and generally all warming foods.
Figs have long been my favorite markers
of the
changing season, but here in Southern California, summer is technically
just getting started with September temps being the hottest
of the year.
For the veggie pizza one, I
changed up the filling
just a little bit by using a packet
of ranch dressing
seasoning I had leftover from some recipe testing awhile back.
It seems odd that the Team
of the Year is selected prior to the end
of the
season, and with
just over three quarters
of the matches being played, although I'm not sure much would
change between now and then.
Exciting times
just wish we had a
change of voice at the top to keep the players attention / motivation throughout a long
season.
Why make this another distraction going into this
season also, JJ
just needs to give up his title
of GM — yea maybe he will be part
of the financial side
of it, but he is no GM and needs to show he is willing to make
changes for the better
of the team.
if wenger really loves the club despite how this
season goes he should
just walk away and pass the mantle to someone else, doing the same stuff every
season and expecting different results is
just insanity, tonight our best hope is a london derby draw or a spurs win coz catching up with spurs is easier than chelsea, i love this club so much but something has to
change at the end
of the
season, gooner for life and the next
this 2nd half
of the
season has been unlike ANY
of the «better» halves we've mustered in recent years as we've seen almost all our squad issues addressed (a decent DM, a reliable GK) and our approach in big games is showing signs
of change — the signs
of encouragement are much brighter than
just us picking up some form to make the CL spots.
We have now crossed the halfway point
of the All Sports Series Regular
Season — a lot will surely
change in the second half — but we definitely have a clearer view
of who the frontrunners are compared to
just four weeks ago.
Only 3 wins in entire
season on road... Burnley is
just 2 points behind Arsenal... To what level Arsenal have dropped themselves by not
changing hands
of Management in crucial times... There was a time when Top Managers in Europe would have agreed to join Arsenal because Arsenal were really top but now why Likes
of Ancelloti or Allegeri, and other top managers would think
of Arsenal as we don't even have money like Chelsea and Man City to pursue them.....
Everyday I say I shouldn't be looking at any
of these rumors and not being carried away with my high expectations but I can't help it... I believe that as long as Wenger is in charge this club will never win anything valuable ever again, he
just lost it... it will be always 4th spot and above that is
just bonus... beating the like
of Hull, Newcastle, etc, won't
change the fact that we are as good as any other team looking for the 4th spot (Tot, Southampton, Liverpool, westham, swansea) Wenger out at the end
of the
season
While we don't expect much in the way
of managerial
changes at the top end
of the table between now and the end
of the
season, it's worth considering whose job might come under threat if the desired climax to the campaign is not secured — be that a top four finish, a trophy, or
just to remain respectable.
As much as I appreciate what Wenger has done for the club, I would also appreciate it if he wasn't in charge next
season, it's nothing personal I
just feel that after the period
of transition we have flat - lined and the truth is whether it be tactics, injuries, personal recruitment that have been contributing factors to us not being able to win the Premier league title... it's all on him and until we
change manager this stupid cycle will persist... Eddie D
There are a lot
of distractions with the coaching
change and hand wringing about the rest
of the
season, but there is really only one thing to focus on —
just win the next game.
we have seen the banners, we have had our rants, nothing is going to
change player and manager wise in the few weeks left
of the
season so let us all be on the same page and leave all the protests and anger until end
of the
season, we need to get behind the manager, players as much as we possibly can and maybe,
just maybe we will be pleasantly surprised..
I
just can't believe that we have become a joke we always start the
season well then have a bumpy December and by the time Feb comes our form has taken a dip and we get kicked out
of all competitions except for that valuable top 4 that the board loves so much... ultimately if Arsenal want to compete again we need
changes from the bottom up... Kroenke and his board need to go cause clearly for them profits matter more than trophies... Wenger needs to go for his lack
of tactical naus guy has been using the same fornation since I was in high school and I'm doing my honours in accounting now... our medical team must all go our players always get injured and they never come back in time (take a look at Santi) players like Coquelin Theo Mesut Gabriel Gibbs Giroud
just to name a few need to go they're
just not good enough seriously these players lack fight tactical Discipline and tactical awareness... at the end
of the day
change needs to happen things can't keep going like this for us....
He reminds
of Victor Moses who was
just a squad player before Conte came in
changed formations and now Moses is a different player altogether who was integral to Chelsea lifting the title last
season.
it was end
of the
season and we have lost everything we could till then so it
changing to 3 at d back was
just desperate move
of the desperate old man....
Oh dear oh dear oh dear all this talk about an»
just arsenal protest» and if wenger stays he will run this club down to the ground this site is becoming comical were going threw a bad catch and you kids wan na organise a protest and think your going to
change anything you lot haven't even seen your team ever finish were united did last
season and all
of a sudden that's it our whole club is doomed and it's the end
of the world grow up u spoilt brats and lets get threw this together the whole world Is against us at the moment and you lot are with them our team need us now more then ever let's get them threw this bad patch and cheer them on and worry about wenger at the end
of the
season we support this club ffs start acting like it we love u arsenal COYG
Very few
of them seem to have
changed their minds much, as we keep hearing such doubts like, «have Arsenal got the leaders we need to get through the tough times» and «can the Gunners keep it up over the course
of the
season rather than
just a few patches
of good performances»?
I remember that 91 team well i had
just graduated high school that year.In the 90
season i saw they
changed to black uniforms i was like that's my team.I was like i got to have one
of those black jerseys and i went to the mall right after xmas in 90 and what do i find a number 21 black jersey sitting on the clearence rack with a host
of other teams jerseys that was the only Falcons one left.So i bought it and wore that at school the next week and i told people this is my team win lose or draw.That 91 team was exciting to watch and that's how it all started for me being a fan
of this team.
I said it last summer and ive been proven sadly right that OG and Theo are
just NOT good enough to score the amount
of goals required to win the EP, that situation has NOT
changed and is unlikely to
change this summer as well, so as I read reports that OG is to lead the line again next
season and I feel its unlikely that Wenger will spend any real big money on a proven goal scoring monster then the same thing will happen again next
season.
With the formation
change, they lived up to that promise at the end
of the
season (
just ask Kante and Matic!).
This is all
just an Arsenal transfer rumour at the moment and even if it is on the cards then things could
change in the coming weeks, as we do not know how the rest
of the Premier League
season will go for Jack Wilshere at his loan club AFC Bournemouth or even who will be the Arsenal manager next
season.
this
season was supposed to be about the epl not fourth place.
just seeing how empty the Emirates was yesterday I expect it to be even worse in the upcoming games.wenger blew it in the transfer market, I think that in itself shows how we lacked ambition and we settled for a top four from the beginning and if by a chance we managed to win epl then thats it.lossing some games, crucial points and the feedback we got back was
just covering the real goals
of the club top four.soton home (a team challenging has to win this game), Crystal palace, swansea,
just add those points and see where we could and should hve been.everyone here is a die hard arsenal fan whether an akb or aob but fact remains we love the club, we want the club to move forward, we want the club to be a superhouse, its got nothing to do with wengers last year or his last chance
of epl.this sort
of thinking is running our beloved club to the ground.whether u like it or not a
change is needed and a serious one.at the moment we hve so many bogey teams do u think arsene will beat them nxt
season!!!
This is
just pure negligence the board need to have a stronger approach with wenger, get in the top 2 or get sacked and
just like mourinho you'll be surprised by how quick he'll put together a World class squad, but as
of right now hes under no pressure so is happy to play half the
season with sanogo as our only ST, arteta as our first choice CDM, 6 players covering our 4 defensive positions and
change formation and play players out
of position in the hope jack comes good.
We had a really nice squad back then,
just like now, but the way we finished that
season losing the league cup final and missing on the title I felt that a
change of manager was needed.
It's certainly clear that something needs to
change at Real Madrid next
season after the team's dire displays this term, but Ronaldo may still be too big a name and too influential a figure to be offloaded or eased out
of the side
just yet.
I am NOT an AKB or an AOB, I
just want whatever is best for Arsenal IN MY OPINION, and my opinion now (which may
change in the future) is that it is not good for the club to sack Wenger (or any manager) in the middle
of any
season.
This
season should not be another one when the referee blows his whistle for match to start Arsenal players reverts to training session not knowing its a competitive match to be won
just passing the ball around in their half until their opponent starts pounding them then they will be reacting, Wenger should not wait until it is 75 minutes before he will start thinking
of making
changes to equalise etc..
This is an incredibly difficult question to answer for a variety
of reasons, most importantly because over the years our once vaunted «beautiful» style
of play has become a shadow
of it's former self, only to be replaced by a less than stellar «plug and play» mentality where players play out
of position and adjustments / substitutions are rarely forthcoming before the 75th minute... if you look at our current players, very few would make sense in the traditional Wengerian system... at present, we don't have the personnel to move the ball quickly from deep - lying position, efficient one touch midfielders that can make the necessary through balls or the disciplined and pacey forwards to stretch defences into wide positions, without the aid
of the backs coming up into the final 3rd, so that we can attack the defensive lanes in the same clinical fashion we did years ago... on this current squad, we have only 1 central defender on staf, Mustafi, who seems to have any prowess in the offensive zone or who can even pass two zones through so that we can advance play quickly out
of our own end (I have seen some inklings that suggest Holding might have some offensive qualities but too early to tell)... unfortunately Mustafi has a tendency to get himself in trouble when he gets overly aggressive on the ball... from our backs out wide, we've seen pace from the likes
of Bellerin and Gibbs and the spirited albeit offensively stunted play
of Monreal, but none
of these players possess the skill - set required in the offensive zone for the new Wenger scheme which requires deft touches, timely runs to the baseline and consistent crossing, especially when Giroud was playing and his ratio
of scored goals per clear chances was relatively low (better last year though)... obviously I like Bellerin's future prospects, as you can't teach pace, but I do worry that he regressed last
season, which was obvious to Wenger because there was no way he would have used Ox as the right side wing - back so often knowing that Barcelona could come calling in the off -
season, if he thought otherwise... as for our midfielders, not a single one, minus the more confident Xhaka I watched played for the Swiss national team a couple years ago, who truly makes sense under the traditional Wenger model... Ramsey holds onto the ball too long, gives the ball away cheaply far too often and abandons his defensive responsibilities on a regular basis (doesn't score enough recently to justify): that being said, I've always thought he does possess a little something special, unfortunately he thinks so too... Xhaka is a little too slow to ever boss the midfield and he tends to telegraph his one true strength, his long ball play: although I must admit he did get a bit better during some points in the latter part
of last
season... it always made me wonder why whenever he played with Coq Wenger always seemed to play Francis in a more advanced role on the pitch... as for Coq, he is way too reckless at the wrong times and has exhibited little offensive prowess yet finds himself in and around the box far too often... let's face it Wenger was ready to throw him in the trash heap when injuries forced him to use Francis and then he had the nerve to act like this was all part
of a bigger Wenger constructed plan... he like Ramsey, Xhaka and Elneny don't offer the skills necessary to satisfy the quick transitory nature
of our old offensive scheme or the stout defensive mindset needed to protect the defensive zone so that our offensive players can remain aggressive in the final third... on the front end, we have Ozil, a player
of immense skill but stunted by his physical demeanor that tends to offend, the fact that he's been played out
of position far too many times since arriving and that the players in front
of him, minus Sanchez, make little to no sense considering what he has to offer (especially Giroud);
just think about the quick counter-attack offence in Real or the space and protection he receives in the German National team's midfield, where teams couldn't afford to focus too heavily on one individual... this player was a passing «specialist» long before he arrived in North London, so only an arrogant or ignorant individual would try to reinvent the wheel and / or not surround such a talent with the necessary components... in regards to Ox, Walcott and Welbeck, although they all possess serious talents I see them in large part as headless chickens who are on the injury table too much, lack the necessary first - touch and / or lack the finishing flair to warrant their inclusion in a regular starting eleven; I would say that,
of the 3, Ox showed the most upside once we went to a back 3, but even he became a bit too consumed by his pending contract talks before the
season ended and that concerned me a bit... if I had to choose one
of those 3 players to stay on it would be Ox due to his potential as a plausible alternative to Bellerin in that wing - back position should we continue to use that formation... in Sanchez, we get one
of the most committed skill players we've seen on this squad for some years but that could all
change soon, if it hasn't already
of course... strangely enough, even he doesn't make sense given the constructs
of the original Wenger offensive model because he holds onto the ball too long and he will give the ball up a little too often in the offensive zone... a fact that is largely forgotten due to his infectious energy and the fact that the numbers he has achieved seem to justify the means... finally, and in many ways most crucially, Giroud, there is nothing about this team or the offensive system that Wenger has traditionally employed that would even suggest such a player would make sense as a starter... too slow, too inefficient and way too easily dispossessed... once again, I think he has some special skills and, at times, has showed some world - class qualities but he's lack
of mobility is an albatross around the necks
of our offence... so when you ask who would be our best starting 11, I don't have a clue because
of the 5 or 6 players that truly deserve a place in this side, 1
just arrived, 3 aren't under contract beyond 2018 and the other was
just sold to Juve... man, this is theraputic because following this team is like an addiction to heroin without the benefits
«I had not felt a strong club, but rather an unstable one, with a coaching
change in the middle
of the
season,
just the opposite
of what I like to see in football.
It's tough to place much significance on
just one
season's worth
of data, but it's logical to speculate that the new extra point rule contributed to this
change.
We didn't need a manager this
season if we're
just gonna put out the same players that come 5th anyone could
of done what wenger is doing it's easy I buy lacazette then put he same team out from the same squad even when I have injuries it's easy
just put out the rest
of the squad and play them out
of position I mean I'd take 8mil to do that oxlade at lwb kolansinac at cb elneny cm holding rcb there's no work
of a manager there
just put in players were others ain't ready to play then buy nobody else and do interviews with the same excuses job done next game
change some ppl around but same ppl that came 5th then sell Alexis do interviews same excuses job done transfer window closes fans wish they never supported arsenal wenger laughing to the bank job done
It was bound to happen because the
change of tactics by using the 4141 was introduced by wenger from the start
of the
season but it has
just taking time for the team to get used to it esp with injured players coming back.
Just one unlucky call would've
changed the whole dynamic
of our
season, if one had went against us instead
of for us, we'd be reading allot more despair from some sections
of fans.
We might win a double or
just La Liga this
season, but until some
changes are made at the highest levels, we really aren't and won't be one
of Europe's elite teams.
OMG, our mates are strengthening and we here debating how to keep obviously average players like walcot, elneny, wilshere et all, Antonio conte had the balls to tel a world class striker like diego costa to f *** off and we here debating mediocrity, we seem to have short memory as arsenal fanz, thumb me down d way u like, y ’ all gon protest nd moan and groan like last
season coz as at now i see no phantom
changes, still d same old system, same old players nd d deluded one probably closed for the transfer market after signing
just one out
of the numerous we actually need to compete.
Chuba can be a strike partner with Oliver, then bring in Mehrez or Draxler, and we can also bid for Barca's Munir then we can have a great
season, our pre-
season last year was better than this, only to got beaten by west harm, so don't raise your hope high gunners,
just be patient and pray for wenger to have a
change of heart.
as wih
just about every
season for last 10 years we have a team that is a couple
of real quality players short
of challenging on three fronts for top honours... so if wenger is willing to get rid
of mert flamini arteta diaby and walcott (and possibly gibbs who is begining to really disappoint but perhaps worth another
season) and bring in three quality players cb dm and attacker i will
change my mind and give him a chance till end
of contract... if its another round
of bargain basement players with potential and talk
of getting in to cl as like a trophy... then yes he needs to go
Well your righ with met spend but in amount paid out for players no net were 5th but i agree our champions league performances have been poor we had some tough draws and the premier league is more demanding then the other leagues in strwnght
of competition and games played still excuses do nt win but that monaco loss left me shaking my head in cl we get theough the group but cant muster the strength needed for knockout and we should be performing better were under performing for the talent xhaka has frustrated me hes got the talent and plays well but cant hold focus in games he drops off and loses his marks our academy is doing well but yes it is tougher now to break in to the first team iwobi has done well but one or two
seasons away from being there if he does turn himself elite ever has to score or he will
just be another ox but i think its been a wake up call to the club we finally have to act theres a wave
of ideas to not only get us back to winning ways but become title contenders and i think give him the extension one year its a world cup year and that will also allow our players esp strikers who been very poor this year realized its tough to play in englad and next year will have a better idea what it really takes to win here shore up some spots and depth and were in contention fail and the
changes will happen but let him have one more year the fact were willing to spend shows me an upturn from the decline
After losing the opening game
of the Premier league
season at home, Arsenal fans can expect Arsene Wenger to make some
changes to the starting line - up and probably not
just to fill the gaps left by Aaron Ramsey and Alex Iwobi picking up injury problems in the loss to Liverpool.
I can only hope that this attempt is taken more seriously than the largely muted and clearly unsuccessful protests
of late last
season... although the plane writing escapade brought some much - needed attention to the matter, it failed to resonate with fence - sitters and those who had
just recently fell off the Wenger truck... without a big enough showing
of support the whole endeavor appeared relatively weak and poorly organized, especially to the major media outlets, whose involvement could have significantly
changed what was to follow... but I get it, few wanted to turn on their club, let alone make a public display
of their discord... problem is, they are preying on that vulnerability, in fact, their counting on you to keep your thoughts to yourself... who are you to tell these fat cats how to steal your money... they have worked long and hard to pull the wool over your eyes... they even went so far as to pay enormous sums
of cash to your once beloved professor to be their corporate spokesmodel so that the whole thing would be more palatable... eventually the club made it appear as if this was simply a relatively small fringe group
of highly radicalized supporters, which allowed the pro-Wenger element inside the club hierarchy to claim victory following the FA Cup win... unfortunately what has happened to this club can't be solved by FA Cups or a few players coming in, the very culture
of this club needs to be
changed and that starts at the top... in order to
change the unhealthy and dysfunctional narrative that has absorbed this club we need to remove everyone who presently occupies a position
of power... only then can we get back to the business
of playing championship caliber football, which should always be the number one priority
of this organization... on an important side note, one
of the most devastating mistakes made in the final days
of this hectic and poorly planned transfer window didn't have to do with the big name players like Sanchez or Lemar, but the fact that they failed to secure Jadon Sancho, who might even start for Dortmund this
season... I think they might seriously regret this oversight... instead
of spending so much time, energy and manpower pretending that they were desperately trying to make big moves, they once again lost the plot due to their all too familiar tunnel vision
