When it comes
to Arsenals predicted performance for the season ahead, they
started off with an estimated position of 5th with odds of 11 - 1
to win the league although as time is going
on, it seems they could be in with a slightly higher chance of
getting a better position.
I can only hope that this attempt is taken more seriously than the largely muted and clearly unsuccessful protests of late last season... although the plane writing escapade brought some much - needed attention
to the matter, it failed
to resonate with fence - sitters and those who had just recently fell
off the Wenger truck... without a big enough showing of support the whole endeavor appeared relatively weak and poorly organized, especially
to the major media outlets, whose involvement could have significantly changed what was
to follow... but I
get it, few wanted
to turn
on their club, let alone make a public display of their discord... problem is, they are preying
on that vulnerability, in fact, their counting
on you
to keep your thoughts
to yourself... who are you
to tell these fat cats how
to steal your money... they have worked long and hard
to pull the wool over your eyes... they even went so far as
to pay enormous sums of cash
to your once beloved professor
to be their corporate spokesmodel so that the whole thing would be more palatable... eventually the club made it appear as if this was simply a relatively small fringe group of highly radicalized supporters, which allowed the pro-Wenger element inside the club hierarchy
to claim victory following the FA Cup
win... unfortunately what has happened
to this club can't be solved by FA Cups or a few players coming in, the very culture of this club needs
to be changed and that
starts at the top... in order
to change the unhealthy and dysfunctional narrative that has absorbed this club we need
to remove everyone who presently occupies a position of power... only then can we
get back
to the business of playing championship caliber football, which should always be the number one priority of this organization...
on an important side note, one of the most devastating mistakes made in the final days of this hectic and poorly planned transfer window didn't have
to do with the big name players like Sanchez or Lemar, but the fact that they failed
to secure Jadon Sancho, who might even
start for Dortmund this season... I think they might seriously regret this oversight... instead of spending so much time, energy and manpower pretending that they were desperately trying
to make big moves, they once again lost the plot due
to their all too familiar tunnel vision
I am sure that every Arsenal fan would prefer it if Arsene Wenger and the players were heading
to Stamford Bridge for our next Premier League match
on Sunday
to face a Chelsea side that was in disarray, but that is not the case, especially after they
got their latest Champions League group phase
off to a perfect
start with a 6 - 0
win over Qarabag last night.
Harbaugh insisted that he will do everything
to ensure that a pattern isn't emerging at the franchise, and it begins

on the task in hand
to get off to a
winning start.
Arsenal did actually
win 10 of their last 11 games in the last campaign but there were still «no new contract» banners at just about every one of them, so Le Prof knows that he if he is
to keep the fans
on side for even a short while, the Gunners will have
to get off to a flying
start to the season, and he is adamant that he wants
to win everything!
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...
Wenger cant

got new Genoa boss Davide Ballardini

As I said, I think we
started off looking good, but the lack of presence in the box (Sanchez was dropping deep too much, and anyway, he's not going
to win many headers in the box against a couple of Huth - sized giants) meant there was something fundamentally
off in our attack and we
got worse and worse as the second half wore
on.

- the game's shading mechanism has changed, which allows for increased gear texture quality - all graphical aspects and programming mechanisms have been built up from scratch for this sequel - maximum resolution is 1080p in TV mode - a bigger focus for Nintendo was the 60 frames per second - occasionally the resolution will be scaled down when there is too much ink displaying
on the screen - Nintendo reduced the CPU load and refined the way
to use CPU power effectively
to maintain 60 fps in all matches - weapons were tweaked
to let players be more creative by thinking about unique weapon characteristics and their best uses - weapons are designed
to be effective when they are used during the right occasion - Special weapons are stronger than the original ones when used in the right situation, but weaker otherwise - the damage and effect of slowing down your movement when you step in the opponent's ink are reduced from original - you can jump up in rank if you're good enough, but only up until S - you can't jump up from C, B or A
to S + - when you
win battles in Ranked mode, the Ranked meter fills and your rank goes up when its fully filled - when you lose a battle, the gauge does not decrease, but the meter
starts to crack - once the meter reaches its limit, it breaks - when the meter breaks, you have
to start over again from the beginning or from a lower rank - highest rank is still S +, but if you fill up the Ranked meter, you
get numbers after the alphabet such as «S +1», «S +2» and so
on - maximum number is «S +50», but this number will not be displayed
to your opponent - you are the only one
to see it, and you can check it
on your own status screen - Ranked Power is calculated by an algorithm
to measure how strong each player is with minuteness - this will determine if a player's rank is worthy of receiving a big jump (like from «C»
to «A»)- Ranked Power has no relation
to your splat rate, and is more tied into
to how well you lead your team

win # 100,00 for coming 1st, # 70,000 for coming second and # 50,000 for coming third, with your winnings you can purchase another vehicle and move
on to the next set of races, each race per cup is a different track which gives an overall amount of about 100 unique tracks, you
get to pick the colour of your vehicle before
starting said career path but sadly that's about it for customisation
on this retro classic themed racing game.
