Pathetic comment

Theo is an expensive failure and to keep giving him the chance when he has repaid the clubs faith with being a bottler and acting as if he's a lazy git (watched him a number of seasons ago against Blackburn away and all he did was run up and down the wing without even calling for the ball to draw defenders away from the centre) I hate to say it but in my mind Alan Hansen was right when he said that «Walcott has not got a natural footballers brain» It infuriated me at the time but its been proven to be true I feel he's been collecting his money for too long without a result to justify keeping him in our employment.

there is no doubting that Arsene has helped to provide us with some incredible footballing moments in the formative years of his managerial career at Arsenal, but that certainly doesn't and shouldn't mean that he has earned the right to decide when and how he should leave this club... there have been numerous managers at each of the biggest clubs in Europe throughout the last decade who have waged far more successful campaigns than ours yet somehow and someway each were given their walking papers because they failed to meet the standards laid out by the hierarchy of their respective clubs... of course that doesn't mean that clubs should simply follow the lead of others, especially if clubs of note have become too reactionary when it comes to issues of termination, for whatever reasons, but there should be some logical discourse when it comes to the setting of parameters for a changing of the guard... in the case of Arsenal, this sort of discourse was largely stifled when the higher - ups devised their sinister plan on the eve of our move to the Emirates... by giving Wenger a free pass due to supposed financial constraints he, unwittingly or not, set the bar too low... it reminds me of a landlord who says he will only rent to «professional people» to maintain a certain standard then does a complete about face when the market is lean and vacancies are up... for those who rented under the original mandate they of course feel cheated but there is little they can do, except move on, especially if the landlord clearly cares more about profitability than keeping their word... unfortunately for the lifelong fans of a football club it's not so easy to switch allegiances and frankly why should they, in most cases we have been around far longer than them... so how does one deal with such an untenable situation... do you simply shut - up and hope for the best, do you place the best interests of those with only self - serving agendas above the collective and pray that karma eventually catches up with them, do you run away with your tail between your legs and only return when things have ultimately changed, do you keep trying to find silver linings to justify your very existence, do you lower your expectations by convincing yourself it could be worse or do you stand up for what you believe in by holding people accountable for their actions, especially when every fiber of your being tells you that something is rotten in the state of Denmark

So people want to hang on to something positive like who could we bring up when we sell Alexis, because I see no reason for us to keep him with mediocre players wanting him to leave, because he disrupts the dressing room, and a manager who's only job at the club is to bring a profit, and Alexis will be a 70 million one.

How can such a non productive, bone idle, falling over when a shadow comes near him, injury prone, huge unearned waged player ever be kept at a top club so long, is one of lifes mysteries to me and many of my Arsenal friends, plus all my family.

Looks like Stan likes to kill animals ah wat money does to people they just get bored and cum up with stupid tv prog go kill animals makes me mad and sad and to think our club is ran by this man no wonder we are we're we are besides putting cash into tv, Stan get ur cash and give ozil and Sanchez and ox the money they want if doesn't do it go get bale that's wat real owner does and if Sanchez refuses da offer get the guys killing animals on ur programme to go hunting Sanchez sick being put down like how are spurs ahead of us there building now we're passed that we should be in champions league semis at least I don't no if it's wenger or da owner but at Highbury when mr drink was around we had 13 world class players and Highbury now emirates we have maybe 3 or 4 or 5 tops, world class players and guess wat we can't even keep them oh my dear friends it don't feel rite I find myself losing my arsenal my life I can not believe spurs are above us and how we use tear them to shreds our kids use ta, who cares if Sanchez goes we will not win da league with Stan there he just wants pump cash in to shooting poor animals well to me ur the animal and ur taking a sleeping giant in to the jungle?

When Coq was brought back from his loan spell at Charlton he was just what was needed at the time and it was no coincidence Santi thrived with him beside him in the middle.He was outstanding from the new year onwards and it looked as though we had a real player I have no idea what went wrong for him at the club but those two and Ramsey was a very good balance.Sadly he seemed to become a scapegoat in his later days at the club and you question why it never happened for him after that.He was an honest player and although he was not in Gilberto class he knew his limitations and kept things simple.

How much longer do we have to put up with this mediocrity languishing under the guise of football??? It is clear that when Wenger arrived to take over the helm at Arsenal he changed the face of football, but how much longer do we have to keep harping back to the «Good Old Days» to keep justifying his tenure at the club?

Well we are all making our contributions, moreover our contributions are decent individually, Wenger knows the direction he is heading towards when it comes to transfers, when he speaks with the press don't rely on his words, he speaks with the press sometimes to encourage the fans and conceal the truth in him.nevertheless my verdict concerning this issue of alexis sanchez and arsenal is that, wenger should keep hold to his words by not selling alexis, he should allow him to see off his contract if he refuses to sign because next season alexis will turn 29, he has already at the pick of his career, by allowing him to stay we can mount title challenge come next season and this will really give us an advantage even for him to o sign another contract with arsenal, arsenal is a big club, they should how to hold, encourage and lure their best players to renew their contract rather loosing them to other top clubs, especially title rivers

I know it doesn't make any economic sense, but I would say this to the Ox: either you go to the team with the highest bid — at this moment Chelsea — or we keep you at Arsenal as a benched squad player in the under - 23s and bury your chances of playing for England in the next World Cup, and explain to him that when he does go for free, it'll be to a club like West Brom on a quarter of the wage Chelsea are prepared to play.

Wenger useless at rotation, when all big clubs try to keep the same 11 and bench as often as possible.

when or whether he will realise them with Arsenal is another thing entirely... along with Wenger's success at Arsenal another part of his legacy will be readiness to keep players he believed in chances after chances, even to the detriment of the club sometimes......

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

When you are not one of the top five or six richest clubs and oyu have players good enough to play at those clubds as Arsenal did, keeping your players can be difficult.

Wenger regularly regresses players, plays them out of position, subs them when he shouldn't - example Lacazette — does not pick them when he should, example Wilshere for the last month in the Prem; keeps duds at the club for years eg Walcotts; can not motivate the team to try full out every game.

players like Ozil always present the fans with a bit of a conundrum, especially when times are tough... if you look around the sporting world every once in awhile there emerges a player with incredible skill, like Ozil, Matt Sundin or even Jay Cutler, who have a different way about themselves... their movement seemed almost too lackadaisical, so much so that it seemed to suggest indifference or even disinterest on the part of the player... their posture always appears somewhat mopey and they generally have an unflattering «sour puss» expression on their face... for some their above average skills are enough to keep them squarely in the mix, as their respective teams try desperately to find a way to get the best out of them visa vie player acquisitions or the reworking of tactics... when things go according to planned the fans usually find a way to accept their unique disposition, whereas when things go awry they become easy targets for fans and pundits alike... in the case of Ozil and Sundin, their successes on the international stage and / or with their former teams led many to conclude that if we surrounded such talented individuals with players that have those skills that would most likely bring the best of these players success would surely follow... unfortunately both the Maple Leafs and our club chose to adopt half - measures, as each were being run by corporations who valued profitability over providing the best possible product on the field... for them, they cared more about shirt sales and season tickets than doing whatever was necessary... this isn't, by any stretch, an attempt to absolve Ozil of any responsibility for his failures on the pitch... there is no doubt oftentimes his efforts were underwhelming, to say the least, but this club has been inept when it comes to providing this prolific passer with the kind of players necessary for him to flourish... with our poor man's version of Benzema up front, the headless chickens in Walcott, the younger Ox and Welbeck occupying wide positions far too often and the fact that Carzola, who provided Ozil with great service and more freedom to roam, was never truly replaced, the only real skilled outlet on the pitch was Sanchez... remember to be considered a world - class set - up man goals need to be scored and for much of his time here he has been surrounded by some incredibly inept finishers... in the end, I'm not sure how long he will be in North London, recent sentiments and his present contract situation seem to suggest that he will depart at season's end, but how tragic would it be if once again we didn't put our best foot forward and failed to make those moves that could have brought championship football back to our once beloved club... so when you think about this uniquely skilled player don't be so quick to shift all the blame on his shoulders because he will not be the first or the last highly skilled player to find disappointment at the Emirates if we don't rid the club of those individuals that are truly to blame for our current woes

Those combined with Alexis and Ozil at the high end along with others costing less, have kept Arsenal in the top four until last year when teams with more resources threatened Arsenal, and none more than ManCity that was not really a top four club in the past.

When asked about Sterling's future at the club following the rumours about a move, boss Guardiola said that the player «is staying here», with the Sun reporting that the Citizens are keen to keep the winger as they have faith in hi ability and invested a lot of money into the player by bringing him to the club.

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...

If anyone is silly enough to take anything that Wenger says at face value then you have been in a coma for the better part of 10 years or simply a season ticket holder that gladly renews each year in May when the talking heads from corporate Arsenal start their usual blather about the transfer market and the inevitable success that lies ahead... stop talking Wenger and start doing the very things you and the rest of the suits keep spewing each and every year... just imagine how amazing this squad would be if we even did half the things that Gazidis claimed we would or if Wenger found a way to sign even a third of the players he said he could... that's exactly what Arsenal has become a «would have» «could have» club

It's simple, Wenger follows the board's orders and gets paid 8m a year in return for taking all the blame, and the club gets away with it because fans keep generating profits which to the Gazidis and the owner means we're content with how everything is run when in really we're not at all.

It's the fans that keep sacrificing because this team can't get their head out of their own ass... please give me some examples when a top club ever let their best player leave for free at the end of a season... Wenger needs to go to PSG and get some money and talent for Sanchez so that we can end this nonsense once and for all... then he needs to publicly apologize for the way in which they handled the whole situation... if they allow Sanchez to go for free there is no way this club, under the tutelage of Kroenke and Wenger, will ever layout the necessary coin to replace such a talented player, especially considering that Wenger will be a lame - duck manager once again in the final year of his contract and we know how well that went last year... open your eyes people, Wenger has spoken publicly about how he hopes that the next manager can take this club to the next level... WHAT?!?... he then went on to speak about leaving them in the perfect position to be successful, which is one of the reasons why several pundits felt Wenger would leave after last season based on the financials and the fact that so many players had only one year left on their respective contracts... who says this shit??? If you believe you're leaving things in the best possible shape for your potential successor to achieve greatness it raises a couple of serious questions: Why can't you take things to the next level if everything is as great as you say?

And I'm sure that the prof will say that he was also in charge when we took Flamini back a couple of years ago and kept him at the club this summer.

If Wenger goes against Silent Stan then it could cause a rift at the club IF he keeps his job, Silent Stan can easily end the contract and pay what - ever he needs to legally and then he will be able to hire a yes man manager who may not be good enough to get us UCL on such a consistant basis... Look at how BvB went when Klopp couldn't buy as much and players was getting sold / lost to Bayern.

Arsene Wenger had shown faith in him, just as he did by keeping Coquelin at the club when many expected him to be released and that must have required even more faith from the boss, because unlike Ramsey he had not already shown his ability on the big stage as the Welshman had.

much like when a country can't divulge highly classified information publicly for obvious economic and military reasons, a professional soccer organization must keep certain things in - house so they don't devalue a player, expose a weakness, provide info that could give an opposing club leverage in future negotiations and / or give them vital intel regarding a future match, but when dishonesty becomes the norm the relationship between cub and fan will surely deteriorate... in our particular case, our club has done an absolutely atrocious job when it comes to cultivating a healthy and honest relationship with the media or their fans, which has contributed greatly to our lack of success in the transfer market... along with poor decisions involving weekly wages, we can't ever seem to get true market value for most of our outgoing players and other teams seem to squeeze every last cent out of us when we are looking to buy; why wouldn't they, when you go to the table with such a openly desperate and dysfunctional team like ours, you have all the leverage; made even worse by the fact that who wouldn't want to see our incredibly arrogant and thrifty manager squirm during the process... the real issue at this club is respect, a word that appears to be entirely lost on those within our hierarchy... this is the starting point from which all great relationships between club and supporters form... this doesn't mean that a team can't make mistakes along the way, that's just human nature, it's about how they chose to deal with these situations that will determine if this relationship flourishes or devolves..

We were supposed to break the financial shackles and strengthen, but even when the other clubs fell down to our level, we decided to keep a nice gap of at least 10 points off top, just to make sure no pressure hits us, because we can't handle it.

It was stupid IMO to keep Sanchez (and Ozil) and when these two walk out of our club at the end of the season for free and to possibly direct competitors in the PL (Manchester) the coin will drop for many, who will then resort to insulting these players.

Wenger's attitude is summed up by the dismissive arrogance he demonstrated when questioned about the banner displayed at yesterday's game — you ignore the paying fans at your peril, they keep the club in business!

Wenger did need a CB last season and he finally got one in Jan, some people are saying he should of got one during the summer window but look at the business we did do and try to keep in mind we had a LOT of missing pieces just a few years ago when we was a selling club.

The stance by Arsene is at least a gamble, because keeping players who are disillusioned with the club, or who are mendaciously wanting to stick their snouts deeper into the money trough demanding increases to their already sky high salaries is risky because angry employees, and they are only employees, can not be relied upon when the going gets tough.

He left the club after just one season when Arsenal became interested in his services but despite starting well at the Emirates he was kept out of the side by Hector Bellerin and had a loan spell at Bordeaux.

He may also have a point to prove to Conte, after Juventus opted not to keep him permanently at the club back in 2010 when the midfielder spent six months on loan there.

Finally, fans were not impressed — incensed being the appropriate word — when club owner, Randy Lerner, announced that former Birmingham City manager Alex McLeish — who resigned from the St Andrews post at the end of last season after failing to keep the Blues in the top - flight — would be Gerard Houllier's long - term successor.
