Like I said on Sunday after the 1st of 2 matches in 4
days in between Arsenal and Man City, Arsene Wenger's time at the helm in Arsenal is finally over after 22 years.
Not exact matches
Arsenal + transfer news (gossip) = fans having fun filling
in the
days between matches The adds mean we get a free site I am happy with the trade off
In other news, Wenger has given Henry an ultimatum, to choose
between Sky sports (where he earns 4 million a year) or his coaching job at
Arsenal (which he does for free) Apparently Wenger is not happy about Henry coaching at the club for 5
days aweek and then on weekends, he goes on Sky sports and criticises wenger and his players.?
Remember if you aren't at the head of the class when it comes to the development of young talent, which means eyes on the ground everywhere, a vast array of connections with soccer associations throughout Europe and beyond and a manager willing to properly train and play said blue chippers, (like the 90s
Arsenal or clubs like the modern
day Monaco and Dortmund) you need to spend to win... anything
in between is highly problematic... failure to make the necessary changes leaves you
in the proverbial «no man's land» and that is currently where we reside... it's difficult to get out of this rut... just ask either of the Milan teams... next step after that is being known as a «seller», which could be us already if and when Sanchez leaves... there are only two teams that have worn this moniker
in recent times and had some decent success and that is Athletico Madrid and Dortmond, which only occurred when they both brought
in new, charismatic leaders
in Simmone & Klopp... the odds that Wenger could conjure up the magic to repeat the performances of a bygone era are incredibly low, so why prolong the agony... he's not willing to create the hierarchy necessary to go the youth route and he's unwilling to put his team's potential success ahead of his job security by laying it on the line with Moustache, so it's time to place all your chips
in the middle or go gently into that good night
This evening's fixture is sandwiched
in between Premier League games against Aston Villa and
Arsenal, as Spurs look to cope with three big games
in seven
days.
How I miss the battles
between Viera and Keane
in the mid of the park, modern
day Arsenal and Man U have Arteta vs Fellaine
in them, specks a lot of why both teams find themselves 10 points off the leaders already before Christmas.
Wenger blamed the 12
day gap
between games as the reason for
Arsenal's poor start against Liverpool a few weeks ago, then he claimed a lack of confidence for the start against Lincoln last week, but as most of our first team played last weekend and scored many goals
in the second half then neither of those should apply this time around.
Arsenal and PSG are both therefore still on equal tallies
in the group and with Match
Day Six featuring a face off
between the two clubs, both will be going for the win.
Those who know much about football and are true to themselves and to the world at large would know that watching Giroud on TV is the same as watching an average player.The thing is its not his fault that he's average.That's just how some are.That's just how life is but people refuse to get that fact.
In life
in terms of soccer we have average players and world class players while some fall
between the two.That's just how life is.The earlier people accept it the better.Life is just that way so deal with it.Its agonizing anytime I watch him play and I for one can confidently say that the
day he's sold people would not miss him.When he goes to his career would take a downhill that's why I see him as lucky player with
Arsenal just given him 1000's tof chances to score on a silver platter.He would look so normal playing
in an average team to be honest.
There are two big games from the Premier League on Sunday, and the

In the last couple of

Arsenal team during the clash
