Not exact matches

Even though he'll be 40 by the time the 2017 season starts, Brady is still the most terrifying matchup in the league, capable of leading his offense to insurmountable leads in the first quarter and coming back against any odds with ruthless precision and an uncanny ability to compel his receivers into miracle catches.

I'm with Chad, anything can become an escape but sometimes we truly need an escape, even for a moment or a season, and worship can take us into a place where everything gets melted away — and sometimes it doesn't all come back.

I think this is the kind of mentality our players also take into these games hence why we've been having upsets these past few seasons (Birmingham, Bradford, Blackburn, even Monaco comes to mind).

He may even exceed them and have one of his best statistical seasons yet, given that Bryant figures to ease his way back into the role of the primary offensive threat coming off a major injury.

If you've got realistic amounts of playing time for 40 players a season, even before injuries come into play, that's a lot of slots to fill.

The same Bulls who needed a late - season push to even get into the playoffs had come together in beautiful harmony.

In some ways Pacific comes into the new season with even better credentials than Creighton.

The Saints have another year under their belt, and assuming Drew Brees doesn't take a step back, could be even better coming into this season.

Well if we failed we won't have won a trophy last season (FA cup would be used to blood youngsters), we won't have players like Alexis and Ozil come into the club, and we definitely would not be able to keep players like Cazorla, Walcott and Ramsey because we would probably be playing Europa league (or even not been in Europe) and still have probably 5 more years to go in paying of the stadium because we are not getting enough money into the club (no Champions league).

It is just an issue that the Gunners do not invest such wealth into improving the club's situation and as a result, we find ourselves stagnating at just coming in the top four every year, or as we've seen this season, probably not even that.

3 League titles / 6 Fa cups and constant champions league last 16odd years out of 19 also but no matter what anyone says his time as our coach has come to an end even if we win the league which in fairness we have a great shot so going out of Europe could help us win the league for Wenger to leave on a high like fergie did... This has to be his last season in charge along with Stan the Conman... Money needs put into this squad to get it to the next level and a different direction because in all honesty when we beat Bayern they just did nt take their chances like they did last night and they already had a great squad and added to it in the summer with Costa etc... we had a real chance this year if we had brought in more than Cech and that is Wengers fault!

Yet If Arsenal want the best out of him then Wenger must show serious trust in his abilities even after Xhaka's return because part of Elneny's slight turbulence in form this season has been due to the addition of Xhaka who's presence seriously affected Elneny's moral and those who deep into things would've noticed the difference between last years Elneny (prior to Xhaka's acquisition) and this year's Elneny with majority of games Elneny coming off the bench yet the very last few games he started before the AFCON have boosted his confidence back and that very much reflected on his last performances before leaving to an extent that surprised quite a few!!

Hahahaha now someone is calling Petr Cech a double agent.I thought peeps were like Szczesny is shit he is this and that yes i would admit Szczesny costs us a lot but i was shocked no one felt sorry for a 19 year old keeper being thrown into such a shaky defense even petr cech must be saying in his mind that he is shocked.Let me tell you some go for Buffon or any other legendary keeper and put him in this current arsenal defense and he will still concede mad goals.But Szczesny and Cech both tied at highest clean sheets some seasons ago.Despite Cech having a defense which was light years ahead of this one and to me that speaks volumes about his potential.I love you very much Szczesny i refuse to be ignorant and call you shit what if you were 19 years at Chelsea and started playing i will bet you would have been catching for them.I love you come back stronger for me ok the pitiful thing is that you will meet the same defense again.By the way Cech will come good and stop comparing Ospina to him.

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

If Arsenal had nothing to play for then I am sure that Wenger would ease Jack back into the team, but Wilshere himself has admitted he is not even ready yet so will the end of the season come too soon for Jack to rove himself?

The Chile international Alexis Sanchez does not really come into it, even though he did not have the same impact last season we accept that there were reasons for that.

Hunt's F1 career was fairly short by modern standards but his talent never came into question — a series of podiums and even a win for the tiny Hesketh team drew the attention of McLaren for 1976, a season which yielded six wins and the World Championship.

Wilshere was given a few chances to come back into the Arsenal first team towards the end of the season, but even he realises that there is now a lot of top class competition for places in the Gunners midfield, and according to a report in the Star he is seriously considering a big money move to Manchester City.

Chelsea, Utd, Liv, City and Arsenal are the big guns of the Prem, not anymore with these tv deals coming into play and not one of the teams above winning the league this season, 3 maybe not even in the top 4!

Was the plan from the beginning of the season to always play at best a third stringer at RB for some of the games even before the injuries came into play?

Ramsey has had one good season for us since his horrible injury, he needlessly gives the ball away much too often and his finishing is even worse than Giroud's... once again we have fallen in love with the idea of what could have been... Ramsey has only scored 2 meaningful goals in his entire Arsenal tenure: one in Turkey and the other in last year's FA Cup, which is not near enough to make him a centerpiece of this offence... likewise simply his presence on the team sheet has led Wenger into making horrible tactical blunders because he will force Ramsey into the lineup even when it doesn't make sense... just think of all those games when Ramsey was played out wide on the right, which forced the RB to come up into the play far more often, and deeper, because Ramsey invariably would find himself in a more central position leaving us far more vulnerable to the counterattack..

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...

Although it will be incredibly difficult to ever match his contributions on the pitch, it's vitally important for a former club legend, like Henry, to publicly address his concerns regarding the direction of this club... regardless of those who still feel that Henry has some sort of agenda due to the backlash he received following earlier comments he made on air regarding Arsenal, he has an intimate understanding of the game, he knows the fans are being hosed and he feels some sense of obligation, both professionally and personally, to tell it like he sees it... much like I've continually expressed over the last couple months, this team isn't evolving under this current ownership / management team... instead we are currently experiencing a «stagnant» phase in our club's storied history... a fact that can't be hidden by simply changing the formation or bringing in one or two individuals... this team needs fundamental change in the way it conducts business both on and off the pitch or it will continue to slowly devolve into a second tier club... regardless of the euphoria surrounding our escape act on Friday evening, as it stands, this club is more likely to be fighting for a Europa League spot for the foreseeable future than a top 4 finish... we can't hope for the failures of others to secure our place in the top 4, we need to be the manufacturers of our own success by doing whatever is necessary to evolve as an organization... if Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke can't take the necessary steps following the debacle they manufactured last season, their removal is imperative for our future success... unfortunately, I strongly believe that either they don't know how to proceed in the present economic climate or they are unwilling to do whatever it takes to turn this ship around... just look at the current state of our squad, none of our world class players are under contract beyond this season, we have a ridiculous wage bill considering the results, we can't sell our deadwood because we've mismanaged our personnel decisions and contractual obligations, we haven't properly cultivated our younger talent and we might have become one of the worst clubs ever when it comes to way we handle our transfer business, which under Dein was one of our greatest assets... it's time to get things right!!!

Arsenal might be winning games again but let's face it their performances have hardly been inspiring.Far and away their best performance so far was a defensive hard earned 0 - 0 away draw to Chelsea.Its a long long time since Arsenal.played a style of football which was fast moving, free - flowing and with consistently positive end result.The media still seam to tar them with that same brush but truth be known the likes of both Manchester clubs, Liverpool and Spurs are far more entertaining to watch these days than Arsenal's tippy - tappy sideways brand of play Hopefully they will be able to build momentum in the coming weeks and inspire confidence prior to the Citeh and Spuds games... otherwise this Season will unfortunately develop into even more farce than Wenger, Gazidas and Kronke managed to orchestrate last year and the Emirates will empty out even more noticeably!!

the BDO is just a popularity contest, there is simply no justification to include Aguero who wasn't topscorer in EPL, his team struggled into the top4 and did Lil or nothing at the Copa America and exclude an Alexis Sanchez who came back from injury in the 2nd half of the season which was the start of this year, gave many brilliant performances for Arsenal including against Man.City, Spurs went to Copa America to not just perform brilliantly and win the trophy, he was also awarded the player of the tournament that had the Higuain, Aguero, DiMaria, Vidal and even Messi.

Even the most creative Manchester United fan might struggle to incorporate Antoine Griezmann's name into a Christmas Carol, but it would only be fair for them to try if the Frenchman comes on board and proves to be every bit as successful as countryman Eric Cantona was during his five seasons at Old Trafford in the 1990s.

Last season, after being substituted in the 84th minute of a home game against Norwich, Sanchez went into the dressing room, showered, changed and had left the Emirates even before his team - mates came in at the final whistke.

For most of the season, Rubin were tactically uninspiring, even when on good form, they did not create much, with goals coming from long balls or high balls into the box.

The Reds will come into the game full of confidence, having not lost in their last 11 games, a fantastic record made even more impressive by the inconsistency that was so prevalent last season.

Arsene Wenger on the other hand came under massive pressure after Arsenal were ripped apart by clinical Liverpool at the Emirates last weekend and now they are under even more pressure going into the game against Leicester in their pursuit of first three points of the season.

Paul Cook's team came into the game after having the chance to top the table even at this early stage in the season.

The Gunners did manage to reverse that defeat a few weeks ago at Ewood Park, although not without a typical Blackburn fight, and even though Rovers have begun the new season with a whimper; winning just one of their opening four encounters, no - one has really yet to batter Blackburn into submission, with their two defeats so far both coming by slender one goal margins against Arsenal and away at Birmingham, who rarely lose at home anyhow.

Troughton is one of a number of players who featured in the LX Club fixture against the Oxford Greyhounds last season who are pushing for higher honours this season as the battle for a Blue at Twickenham on Thursday, 7 December comes even more sharply into focus.

United seemed to be reluctant to pay more than # 40 million for Perisic, but to land their target, a target they have been looking at since at least March, it would be pretty silly to walk away from the player, someone who Mourinho wanted to add to his squad this coming season, which could even see Martial turned back into a striker, a position he has played well in during the first pre-season match against LA Galaxy, which could well see United play a two striker formation during the upcoming season having Perisic, his experience, and ability on the left flank next season.

Argentina has lost three finals (2 Copa America and World Cup 2014 final) in which Lionel Messi has played so he will go into the comptition under massive expectations even though coming on the back of probably his greatest season on club level.

And that's what makes their emphatic victory over Blackburn last Saturday even more poignant, as United's predatory instincts came into play and as soon as they sensed an opportunity to go top of the table for the very first time this season, they didn't just take it but did so with aplomb and with authority.

The fact we're even discussing the possibility of Bolton playing in Europe next season is a testament to how far the Trotters have come in such a short space of time under Owen Coyle, who has been lauded by the English media all season in binning their perception of being a relegation candidate and replacing it with one of mid-table stature, but also into a side which play some pretty slick football at times.
