Not exact matches
One
thing to know: Despite the controversy surrounding owner Jerry Richardson and his coming sale
of the team, the Panthers
are one
of the hottest teams in the NFL, having won seven
of their
past eight
games.
Some day in the not - too - distant future, both PVRs and

I've
been more successful at some

game!!
And if they get
past PSG that
game will
be just days after a UCL semi-final second leg and that could make

We have
been lucky for the
past few leagues
games, so I don't understand the
thing of «We have to learn from this» We should have learn from Bournemouth that we can't afford to start
games slow, I can assure you, we will not learn ANYTHING from the Watford defeat and the next post-match interview will again
be «We have to learn»,
Having not watched the
game, I don't know for sure if that happened, but it
's the type
of thing I've witnessed in the
past (and the box score seems to indicate some different line - ups — largely due to injury, I
'm sure).
I will say some
of the bad
things we've done over the
past 3

be bad
things we've done with some regularity throughout the season, even during our 15
game win streak.
But for now, TJ

@darwin, He fufilled his dream he played for barca and won trophies, yes he did nt start every
game like some may point out but
being on bench here and there becuase
of arguabley 2
of the best players
of the
past decade (xavi, iniesta)
is not a bad
thing.
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.
And his judgement
is a lil impaired attaching emotion to football
is a bad way to loose
games, i
was happy he finally drop Carzola last match and did nt play Flamini, but he also needs to open his eyes and address issues that everyone keeps shouting at before its too late, hes notorious for leaving
things too late he did the same with ALL the deadwood in our
past, and hes doing it now with our good players, we easily have the players to take this league by storm but bad judgement
of form and on pitch responsibility
is what
is killing us!

of you applying for coaching job at atsenal.
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...

is it a

past when we
