Not exact matches
-- something they couldn't
do at Little
League, with championships (and
trophies!)
Because it's disrespectful and it
does spur on rivals.Selfies should be saved for when you have an actual
trophy in the dressing room and not when you beat a top 4 rival.Leicester City claimed last yearthat after Arsenal beat them and posted post match selfies that it motivates them and helped them to focuse and eventually win the
league
What Arsene Wenger needs to
do now though, is to make sure that Arsenal win the Premier
League trophy as well as the battle of the stats next season.
They don't give
trophies for the best record in the American
League, and the hands are closer together than they've been all year.
It is true we
do not need big names after all Leicester City won the
league with no big name, but we need players who have winning mentality and hunger for
trophies once the club has that the sky is their limit.
And then compare them to what we
do at Arsenal and only then will you realise that we are not in a position to expect a champions
league trophy.
Yeah but the reality is the to thing are closely related, If Wenger stays we won't win the
league or the champions
league any time soon.For us to win these type of
trophies a top coach must come in, there aren't many who can achieve this but i believe 2 good candidates are out of work Ancelotti and Klopp, Wengrs contract should be finished by the 2016/17 season god willing.I say God willing because Wengers been talking about how he doesn't want to retire, obvious signs that he wants an extension to his contrct, i am one Arsenal fan who doesn't want to see an extension
Jose only wants Europa
League trophy in case he doesn't get top 4, which is a still very likely scenario.
With just a year left on his contract and with Cech having made just six Premier
League appearances all season, you can understand why the 32 - year old wants to go but you can also understand why his manager Jose Mourinho
does not want him to join and almost certainly strengthen one of his big rivals for the Premier
League and other domestic
trophy honours.
4th place doesn't help us since we never challenge for the champions
league trophy.
Not only
does lifting the Europa
League trophy give you an automatic place in the Champions
League for the following season, it is a highly prized piece of silverware and something that Arsenal and Wenger have never won.
If Arsene Wenger is to stay on for another year or more as the manager of Arsenal Football Club, a lot of fans will not be happy but there will be little we can
do about it other than hope that the Frenchman will realise that he needs to have Arsenal much more competitive and fighting for a major
trophy like the Premier
League title or the Champions
League.
Right now last season's
league table, the current
league table and recent form in the NLD would suggest that Spurs have the upper hand, however, as a Spurs fan, I don't yet see a definitive paradigm shift that would negate years of Arsenal domination in terms of head to head encounters,
trophies won or financial wherewithal.
After a long
trophy drought, Arsenal have now won two FA Cups in successive seasons, and have avoided the Champions
League Qualifying round for next year, but when Rosicky was asked what he thought about the season just past instead of saying how well the club
did he turned the conversation back to his «frustration».
If Ozil
does stay injury free for the whole season, will that put one Arsenal hand on the Premier
League trophy?
The truth is, I'm not expecting us to Win a major
trophy (Premier
league, Champions
league) until Wenger has packed his bags and long gone and in the mean time, I'm content when we don't lose.?
I don't know... 3pl
trophies in 20 seasons, no champions
league, only made to final once in 18 CONSECUTIVE seasons, not resected like fergie was in his time, has never defeated jose mourinho even once in his lifetime even after maureen makes fun of him like hell (my God,6 - 0 in his 1000 game - > what a shame), an 8 - 2 loss at old trafford (only reason he bought players otherwise that season would have been hell), been rated as one of the wealthiest clubs but we still have mediocre first team players like giroud, welbeck etc (before u slam me first answer this - > would they get into bayern, barca, madrid, manure, mancity, psg or even chelsea starting 11 cz we rank the same with them financially)?????.....
Do you think an injury free Arsenal has what it takes to beat Chelsea, Man City and United to the Premier
League trophy?
We were always going to be a step down as we had not won the
league in years and were always getting dumped from the CL so
trophies wasn't surely his priority, I thought he wanted a team where he will be appreciated and he has literally been deified at arsenal, so why doesn't he want to sign??? He should have just stayed in Barcelona in the first place!
What he has
done for the club, the
trophies he has won, the consistency of top four every season and getting through the group into the last 16 of the Champions
League is what we love about Wenger.
not me mate, your making up you own arguements, which are flawed by the way.So if Coquelin were to leave where would he go?According to you theory obviously it will be to another Champions
league team, so are you saying they won't have legitimate competition in the team?Competition breeds winners, we havent had this at Arsenal in a long time and we still don't have it upfront and in dm, we sort of have it at CB with Gabriel, but until we correct this competition deficit in our squad with at least arguably WC players then we won't win the BIG
trophies as usual
So
do I, and I see a club that hasn't won the
league, or any significant
trophy in the last 12 years.
Then the season unravels.We start well but towards end of December we have handful of injuries and we are struggling with our title challenge.But still great Wenger who
does not believe in January transfer window
does not buy anyone or buys Kallstrom and by march we have no chance of winning the
league and we are looking at getting Wenger
Trophy (Top 4 finish).
The questioning of the club's credentials also creates a team unity and although I
do not want us to go down the «everyone and everything is against us» route, I
do think that having something to prove can only help the Gunners to succeed and wave that Premier
League trophy in everyone's faces.
Challenging the best in Europe will indicate winning our own
league and reasoning in the mind of Barca, Real M, Bayern M and more as a «major» treat to their European aspirations... Not just a silent participant pushed aside easily and just competing to get the rewarding money of exiting the group stage (which we are
doing right now since we can not imagine winning the greatest
trophy in club football).
I don't see Ian Holloway making such a grand gesture and yet even the Tangerines aren't likely to challenge for the Premier
League trophy either.
After all this is the third time in four years that Arsenal have lifted the first
trophy of the season and the previous two
did not lead to
league glory for the Gunners.
When the season began, I boasted to him that this season was our season of lifting the premier
league trophy but as we speak now, he is the one with the bragging right because his team is top of the
league and they don't look like slowing down.
Arsenal's disappointments in the
league each season always comes down to the fact we don't have the consistency nor the mental strength to carry us throughout a whole season, playing like we desire the
trophy.
I
do not support AFC only for
trophies otherwise I would support Real Madrid (they have 10 champions
league / European cups & more you know)!
Actually we could
do what United
did and win both
league cup and Europa
league which are the two
trophies we've never won before.
Man u were in a different
league than us they hve won so many
trophies with furgeson and us we are slacking and our manager doesn't even hve a target at all.
If we hadn't won any
trophies last season, I would agree, but the fact is we
DID win TWO
trophies last season and were top of the
league for the majority of the season.
Although Arsenal fans are 99 % certain that the Gunners can not qualify for the Champions
League by finishing in the Top Four of the Premier
League and our only remaining hope is to win the Europa
League and sneak in the back door, like Man United
did next season, it would appear that the Boss thinks his team need to win against some «big teams» before we can consider winning the minor European
trophy.
Klopp is now
doing well with Liverpool, albeit without any
trophies to his name as of yet, though his side play an attractive brand of attacking football and have returned to the Champions
League on his watch.
Neither and i
do nt think joachim loew wilm come but hes about the only guy but why are we even having this conversation competimg for 8
trophies in 8 years and won 5 thats top drawer you need atleast two years to redevelop your squad after missing champions
league lets give him another year no new manager will have enough time with the team its a world cup year if we get a new guy we will start horribly it will be a tough year of wenger we will put the forces behind him to have a successful year and i see it happenong qe will spend and we will succeed
We didn't strengthen our upfront department properly last summer and winter and that's the main reason we lost the
league as we had been up there most of the season and suddenly we slipped down to fight for our usual
trophy.
As much as we are all hoping for Arsenal to go further than we have in years by beating Europe and as much as we would prefer winning the Champions
League to any other
trophy, the chances of Arsenal managing to
do it this year against cluns likr Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are pretty slim.
We didn't score a second / Mou wasn't really trying cuz for him its not a
trophy / this
trophy is not valuable or Mickey mouse
trophy / the real games are the
league ones / Giroud (add your favourite here) / now we won't buy anyone / Costa was injured so this doesn't count / you ll see Falcao destroy us in the
league /!
I would of course love for the Gunners to prove Ozil right and I think that most of us would actually be happy with a strong finish in the Premier
League and another
trophy to celebrate, but will Arsenal
do the things we need for this to happen?
League or CL, we just don't have the squad, manager, the board, the mentality and sadly the fans (well most of them) to win major
trophies.
Malaga
did successfully secure a Champions
League berth and the performances Isco has put in during their maiden participation in the showpiece
trophy have greatly impressed Ferguson.
Just because 2
trophies are biggest
does not mean Europa, FA and even
League Cups are «Mickey Mouse».
Scoring only two Premier
League goals in 2001/02, Francis Jeffers has to go down as one of the biggest Arsenal flops of all time, but he
did still get his hand on that
trophy that has eclipsed legends like Steven Gerrard.
we have double digits in most English competitions, Chelsea
does not have it, maybe its their time, but should we curse the club because we can't get the
trophies needed, maybe our grnachildren will see the glory (if they will support our team) what guarantee
do we have that if we had bought all these players we wanted we would win the Champions
league let alone the premier
league?
And since the premier
league trophy is looking very unlikely i think we should just focus on the europa
league because even if we don't finish in the top four spot winning the europa
league automatically gives us champions
league football.
the only thing you didn't tell us is how many premier
league trophies we won wth those goals
Arsenal have at last (nearly) made a small leap from the Wenger
Trophy to third spot in the Premier
League, or maybe even second if Southampton
do the business this weekend.
That is not always true of course, as all the clubs in the Premier
League have their own problems to deal with, but the ones who
do go on to lift the Premier
League trophy at the end of a long season seem to be blessed with a bit of luck along the way.
Yes they won FA cup twice but winners
do not think of winning
trophies in their
league but outside it also.
