Although many will suggest that Robson has a personal vendetta of sorts aimed squarely at the Grinch who stole soccer, that doesn't make his words any less truthful... such tactics are nothing new... in the U.S.this business practice has become so common that even the players regularly use the media to manipulate public opinion (LeBron James did likewise to rally public support for himself and away
from his teammate, Kyrie Irving, who has asked to be traded)... whether for contract leverage or to rally support for or against certain players, this strategy can be incredibly effective at times, but when it misses the mark it can be dangerously divisive... for a close - to - the - vest team like Arsenal to use such nefarious means to manufacture a wedge between the fans and it's best player (again), is absolutely despicable... for the sanctimonious higher - ups who demand that it's players adhere to a certain protocol regarding information deemed «in house» or else to intentionally spread «fake» news or to provide certain outlets
with privileged information for such purposes is pretty low indeed... no moral high ground here, just a
big club pretending to be a small
club so that they can continue to pull the wool over the eyes of a dedicated, albeit somewhat naive, fan base... so not only does this
club no give a shit about it's fans, this clearly shows that
clubs primary interests aren't even soccer related... for all intent and purposes Kroenke doesn't care if we're a soccer
club or a tampon factory as long as we continue to maximized his investment... stay woke people... great to see more and more people commenting on the state of the franchise... this
club needs to be held accountable for it's actions

who would of guest City would make an offer of 60 million in the summer for Sanchez
with only a year left on his contract, i'm guessing we could get an offer of around 30 million
from City in January so he wont be persuaded by the likes of PSG
with a signing on fee in the summer, but who knows what goes in the mind of Alexis or what kind of injuries some
big clubs could have
from now until January for them to make ridiculous offers to a world class player
with no CL conflict of interest, lets say Real Madrid loses Ronaldo, Bale, Karim to long term injury you bet they will come ceiling
with baring gifts for Sanchez's services or even Barca
with Messi or Suarez

In the midfield, (including RWB & LWB) we have a whole bunch of tweeners... none offer the full package, none make sense in our manager's current favourite formation, except for Sead on the left and Ox on the right, and all of them have never shown any consistency for more than a heartbeat... Sead, who I'm including in this category because of our present formation, looks like a positive addition, minus his occasional brain farts, but I would rather see what he could do in a back 4 before making my mind up... Ox, who has never played better, which isn't saying much considering his largely underwhelming play in previous seasons, seems to have found a home in this new formation; unfortunately, can we really expect this oft - injured player to handle the taxing duties that come
with said position over the long haul, not to mention, it looks like he has no intention of staying... Ramsey has relied on the empathy that stems
from his gruesome injury years ago and the excitement that was generated a few years back when he finally seemed to put in altogether, but on the whole he has been a
big disappointment (neither he nor the Ox have scored enough to warrant a regular spot)... Wiltshire should be put on a weekly contract then played until he suffers his first injury, if and when that occurs he should be shipped - out and no one should very be allowed to say his name on
club grounds ever again... Elnehy & Coq are average players who couldn't make any of the top 7 teams currently in the EPL... both have showed some great energy on the pitch, but neither are top quality and no good team can afford to have that many average players on their bench playing the same position, especially
with Coq's injury history / discipline concerns and Elheny's headless chicken tendencies... as for Xhaka, his tenure here so far has been incredibly underwhelming... we know he has some skills to provide the long ball but his defensive work is piss poor and he gives the ball away too cheaply and far too often... finally, the enigma himself, Ozil, so much skill
with his left foot but his presence has been more frustrating than uplifting... in many respects his failure has been directly related to the failure of this
club to provide him
with the necessary players up front, minus Sanchez of course, and unless something drastic happens very soon his legacy will be largely a negative one (much like Wenger's)

The sad truth is that we are just a couple of players away
from having a very strong starting 11... Wenger's fixation
with Walcott and mertesakher as starting players remains a mystery to me... neither have the quality of a top team like arsenal... I am not a giroud hater but he is still too inconsistent and the
big question is whether welbeck can push him in a way Walcott won't... Campbell has done well and has moved ahead of Walcott and, ox for sure but there is still a question about how much more he can improve... Elneny is certainly an upgrade over arteta and flamini whether he will make it I don't know just hope that he does but arguably wenger could have been more ambitious... That leaves a top quality striking option... There is no doubt that wenger deluded himself over the summer and that needs to be corrected ASAP... Draxler dybala aube and even griezman
with a
big enough
big could have been prized in summer... january not a good time for this but it is not difficult to find better options than Walcott ox or Campbell... All a question of whether wenger wants to win EPL on his terms or wants to win this for the
club
Those who are obsessed
with so - called
big names will obviously not appreciate Vardy because he has not come

I don't really blame any of those players at all, first mistake
from Wenger was his team selection and secondly wrong players in a wrong position,, its quite sad
with all their mouths and boasting of starting the season strongly and aiming for the league just a waste of energy and wishful thinking, am putting the whole blame on Wenger, where is Belerin, why Ozil, Cazorla played out of positions, you should know their weaknesses and strength as a coach, why must we pass and pass to score a goal, many opportunities came
from shooting distance but the players will always be looking for the next person to pass the ball to, its quite unfortunate that a
big club like arsenal is relying on a scrappy Giroud to lead an attack of a team aiming to win the league.
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
it's time for this
club to put it's money where it's mouth is... no more half measures, no more settling, no more making money hand - over-fist
with little to show for it, no more excuses and no more hiding behind the idea that this is «small»
club that can't compete
with the «
big boys»... the only real difference between them and us is what the manager demands and what the owner is willing to give... we play in the League
with the richest tv contract in Europe, we have one of the largest home venues
with some of the highest ticket prices on the continent, we have several major corporate sponsors, we have one of the largest fan bases in the World whom purchase a ridiculous amount of merchandise, we rake in coin on tour each and every preseason and we have banked countless millions
from qualifying for and participating in various competitions at home and abroad
