A lot of us know
how to use social
media for personal purposes, but social selling can be a completely different
game.
Yesterday, when I spotted Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdene on the cover of People Magazine with the headline «THE HUNGER
GAMES» in bold white letters, I couldn't help but wonder if Suzanne Collins set all of this up to remind us of
how closely our culture can resemble that of The Capitol — what with our excess, our reality shows, our glorification of violence, and our compulsive need to shove every good story through our celebrity - obsessed
media machine.
After the
game the usual match ratings came out in the
media as a reflection of

A quick glance through the comments left by his followers shows just
how well it went down, and it's good to see Evra in high spirits as he looks to make an impact in the next few months at West Ham while also remaining one of the best personalities in the
game on social
media.
During an exit interview with the

Time to kick out Gazidis / wenger / Kroenke out of the club by not going to any of the home

I'm not saying that I'd disagree with your assessment if I watched all of his

I just don't think enough is done by Wenger and the coaching staff to get players up for each

...... I know the refs are a deciding factor of

media market to get a bigger shoe deal (screw the max deal with SAS)
2009: Lynch was suspended the first 3
games, and
media was going on and on about

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...
I also do not have any stats in regards to
how Arsenal fans feel about Wenger, but what swings it for me is lots of empty seats at
games, protests, and the fact that most fans views on Wenger are very negative whether it be from social
media, or Youtube.
it would not be a surprise if Wenger picks Iwobi over Jack.Nobody in their right minds would do this but Wenger continues to ignore Iwobi's many failings for the sake of work rate and supposed balance over what he actually brings to the side.Jack knows what a NLD is all about and is more than talented enough to bring his talent and tactical nous to this
game.This is a MUST WIN
GAME so let's put a side out to actually go at this mob and show them
how they are not as good as the
media build them up to be.
Imagine if the owner was a bit more involved, coming to top 6
games at home, big UCL
games, making sure that communications between manager and
media would be of a similar tone (
how many times have we had Wenger deny what the board said and vice versa), and freeing up extra cash out of his pockets when a special player becomes available because he wants to see the best at the club but more importantly he wants to win.

game that does not tolerate such physically harmful tactics.
