I do
hope that Arsene Wenger has a fantastic ace
up his sleeve
when it comes to
getting a new striker for Arsenal fans to cheer about in the current summer transfer window, but I must admit to living more in
hope than expectation and as the days and weeks tick by my concern increases that it will be the same old story for us.

up call of what it actually takes to make it in this League he will do very well at Liverpool.

Our player of the season so far?Certainly the most consistent.JACK AND OZIL CONTRACTS - just
get them signed up for F *** S SAKE.Jack doesn't want to go anywhere and Ozil will have his choice of big clubs to choose from if allowed to be able to go on a free.How about giving out a statement of our ambitions (yeah right) and show were prepared to pay whatever it takes (up to the point of being ridiculous) to SIGN the best and KEEP the best» These two are the best we have so get them sorted early to send out a message of how serious we intend to be.AUBAMEYANG - So what if he has a contract.So did Sanchez.Offer the right money to Dortmund and the player and he will be ours.What is there to question over this deal?He is a proven goalscorer.We have just lost one.Get the deal done.GIROUD - Get rid of him to Dortmund if they want him either by selling or if it sweetens the deal just loan him till the end of the season.He was a back up when Sanchez was here and will be on the mix of back ups if Auba signs.He has a World Cup squad to fight for just to be considered so needs to be playing every week.We do not need him if Auba signs and would demand better than him if the deal fails to happen.Just get rid.JONNY EVANS - I'm not sure.Agree Kos needs nursing through games and we do not have consistent performers to come in if he is injured or rested mainly due to both Chambers and Holdimg not progressing through as much as we first thought and hoped for.Gooners have always been patient and supportive of the youngsters as they have come through but question marks to the whole coaching staff as to why these two seem to have stalled as much as they have done.Steve Bould - What do you do?You should be asham

As always, it will depend on what team Wenger puts out, I
hope that we at least
get the draw, it will probably need a comeback in the second half to nick it, or We could also balls it
up after being ahead and they end
up Nicking the draw, as that happened before
when it finished 3 - 3, I think that was last season?
Hope many have seen Gabriel is capable of even putting
up decent performances...... He was tested against a top team (Liverpool) even
when less match fit and rusty after so on the bench and don't forget he's
got pace too........
We sit eating
up every scrap of gossip and whilst most of us have become cynical enough NOT to believe the paper talk and journo rubbish, I would bet my house that
when you, like me, read the outrageous claims that we are about to bid for Isco, or that Cavanni wants to make a transfer to Arsenal, you may not believe it but you do wish that it would happen, that anything would happen, while our rivals fans have a January period of realistic
hope, all us Gooners
get is tantalising titbits from the papers that never amount to anything solid.
Let's
hope Ramsey can rediscover his form from a couple of years ago
when he looked hands down to be the player of the year before
getting injured halfway, Wilshere can avoid another injury, Xhaka steps
up his game and that the players with only a year left on their contracts sign extensions.
Walcott started to look dangerous as Everton tried to save a bit of pride, and they finally
got very close with a brilliant shot from Niasse but Cech was saved by the post, but the Toffees kept
up the pressure and finally
got there reward
when Calvert - Lewin
got a free header in the box to give Everton a consolation and a slight
hope of a come - back.
The player has stepped
up when the team needed him and I certainly
hope to see him
getting more opportunities in the future.
I am glad that Alexis is playing upfront as I was
getting sick of Giroud not trying like he has been but
when his place in the starting line
up is threatened he has stepped
up from the little we have seen so far this season, I
hope Giroud keeps that form as he can be an ideal swap in playstyle to Alexis.
United fans will surely
hope Mourinho sees sense before too long and makes this difficult relationship work as the Red Devils could end
up regretting failing to
get the best out of such a potentially world class player
when they had the chance.
Am i dreaming it seems like we've been here before, oh yeah thats right it happened last season and the season before that... Oh wait guys but there is
hope, if i remember corectly all we have to do is wait for any serious potential threats to us retaining the Fa cup for a third time to
get eliminated by lower league opponents or of course eliminate themselves by not taking this competition too seriously by fielding their second team and laugh our way to the final where we'll probably beat a sub par premier league team and repeat it all over again next year you know
when Wenger fails to address the squad depth, the injuries mount
up and are out of the champions league and title run ins by march..
I'm not
getting my
hopes up because I know we'll loose at Anfield next weekend, it's all well and good praising us for beating Newcastle but
when the going
gets tough and we come
up against a big team, we flop.
Have to Laugh at this BuLL... We are responsible for
getting our own
hopes up and
when it comes crashing down Like a pack of cards....
Agreed Walcott or Podolski would have been wrong they don't defend
when they lose the ball like the others, that's not to say they can't its just to early for them to be any good I we were 3 0
up then bring them on in the 65th to
get into the game To tense to make the call just for game time Lets
hope he starts with them and Rosicky against Southhamton.
I
hope by the end of the season
when we end
up with nothing in the shape of major silverware he realizes this is it and call it quits so we can
get a top manager like Guardiola who becomes available.
Was not analyzing the Manchester ss and don't really care much there but from a footballing point of view and from the words of MR wenger I understand the logic I do nt read what the media thinks neither My comment above addresses the issues we face in comparison to the two previous seasons adding in our re enforcements The 22 million question «Are the Arsenal capable of achieving 85 point come next May???» I believed we were strong last year and said it here that the team was strong and together and used the very words that MR wenger used cohesion but as the season unfolded the cracks showed
up at the very beginning
when we lost to west ham and it
got worse as we lost pole position and every thing around us came tumbling down by February last season here comes another important question did they know and understand what happened do they know what to do this term to avoid the very same faith well we wait and see Irregardless of what happens I will support Arsenal and will keep analyzing every match my way until May so Good luck Arsenal with your endeavors and
hope you do well against Liverpool keep the fight on keep the heads
up and give them a good beating
And for all of u calling for girouds head, we beta
hope he pick
up his form, since he has been outta form we ve been having difficulty scoring goals,
when he plays well... arsenal play well just as wenger said sometyms ago @ least till we
get a beta replacement
I
hope we keep wenger give the man a long term contract you must want some unloyal cheapskate whos been fired at 5 clubs and successful at 1 or 2 for a few years
when the club spent big cause they
got a new manager and after a couple years
got fired beacause those spendy players
got old and that manager did nothing we have the most loyal consistent winning manager in europe and if the linesman did nt make incorrect call we woould of been 1 - 0
up and mkhitaryan played poor balls in the rain which we always play bad in amd are you suffering short term memory loss we beat tottenham 2 - 0 at home so we still won the derby on aggregate this season again thanks to mr.wenger i mean where to people come out woth these low iq thoughts and mostly you have to fire three new managers before you
get a couple good seasons then start the circus again people should be embarrassed wenger to stay
I've seen a bit of Reiss Nelson and I see him as a No10 in a free role.He will find it very tough to claim that spot for a few seasons but this boy does have tremendous ability and potential.We need to
get him as much game time in the League as just being in the team will help his learning curve.Next season in the Europa and Carabao Cup is
when we can give him a run out centrally as an attacking midfielder.This is a serious talent who will be a tremendous footballer.Lets
hope we can bring him on like we used to in the past with our young players coming
up through the youth ranks.It seems too long since we have done this.
Then I'm
hoping for the weather to clear
up until Saturday
when NYC will
get hit with more snow, and the league rescheduling the game until the following Monday night, and then another snowstorm hitting and Roger Goodell having to make a phone call to Vladimir Putin to pressure him into delaying the Olympic Games so as to avoid competing with the NFL for ratings.
which is certainly not a slight on the young french national player; like him or not, Sanchez has provided some real world - class performances for club and country in recent years... if you do this move, you need to really clean house or face some serious consequences for the foreseeable future... half measures are rarely rewarded, that's how we
got here... tear down the wall... we need to
get rid of Giroud, not because he isn't a talented player, his skill - set simply doesn't make sense if we
hope to maximize the offensive potential of a quick passing, one - touch scheme... we need to evolve, like Barcelona, who realized you needed to have clinical finishers or face a mind - numbing future of horizontal passes and largely ineffective crosses... Barca went and
got Suarez, even though they had Messi and Neymar on the roster (just imagine the possibilities — another in the litany of Wenger «what ifs»)... we need to be as clinical in the boardroom as on the pitch... accept nothing less or move on... personally I would move on from Welbeck, Giroud and Walcott, even Ox if he isn't all in... I think the most intriguing player might be Perez, which runs counter to the thoughts in my head
when he arrived late last summer... we need a deep lying DM with quick feet and long ball potential, midfielders who can counter quickly even
when they are spread out and 4 or 5 players who know how to attack the lanes (kind of a cross between Barca, Dortmund and Monaco)... this is seriously an achievable goal, one that logically should have been achieved quite a few years ago... did no one in the Arsenal organization see the financial restructuring of the football universe... think of the players we could have had but we weren't willing to cough
up the dough only for those individuals to have their value double or triple within a 12 to 24 month period... even if just from an investment perspective these «no deals» represent a failure of monumental proportions... only if you cared, of course
I remember
when Holiday was a FA and I was
hoping we'd pick him
up, then he
got a huge deal from the pelis.
the bigger teams with ambition always have at least a decent back
up in each position.DO NOT COME NOW WITH THE EXCUSES OF INJURIES as this has been on and on
when a result does nt come our way.we will go now all December without a DM then our
hopes dashed once again.i'm praying Ozil or Sanchez do not
get injured as then it is BYE, BYE season.Can Mr wenger re-inforce us in January if there is any desire from him to win EPL?
we however prefer attempting to convert players,
hoping youngsters step
up immediately and then moan
when we
get trounced 6 -0.5-1
