I think one
of the reasons they did well late in the

To have any realistic chance

looks like they will not be giving us any help.
What has happened to the times before when we hardly gave a monkeys about these distorted stats, all

Everyone's making mock drafts — I always make mock schedules Based on past schedules which usually
show some tendencies, as well as the opponents hometown baseball teams» schedule (to avoid home
games for the same day for both the baseball and NFL team
of a given city if possible), this is how our 2018
looks like to me:
and for those saying that this is a meaningless
game and a meaningless trophy,
look at the lineups put forth and
look at the different expressions
shown at the end
of the match.
Campbell has never
looked good enough in the
games I have seen him play for us, he has

Asensio undoubtedly
looks set for a big future in the
game based on what he's
shown so far, and Chelsea would do well to bring in a player
of that quality, particularly after their difficult season this term and the doubts over Eden Hazard's future.
Say what you like admin.Even Diaby upon doing nothing for several seasons was able to secure a move to Marseille which to me is a top team.Was it not last season that before he went to Bournemouth teams like Juventus and AS Roma were interested in him?He just needs a league which is not physical for the mean time.I mean any time he gets a run
of games he begins to hit top forn and just when things are
looking up things go down again.This injury thing is a menace in our club.Look at the number
of games Gnabry has played.But I will urge him to leave Arsenal because all he needs to do is to remain injury free.It's not rocket science.If Wilshere remains injury free for just one season he'll be great.It's just like the Van Persie case.A lot
of people were frustrated with him and cllled him man
of glass but I knew he just needed to be injury free for one season.To me he's a better player than Ramsey though Ramsey is on form.He also has the ability to surpass Cazorla and be Arsenal's number one.He's also Arsenall thrugh and through.Arsenal has to solve his injury problems because he's
shown that when he gets a run
of games he can do it.

game, that fails to consistently
show up and above all else happy with the FA Cup consolation prize.
Even though his last two

of knowledge.
Yes it
looks bad for us right now but it was just one
game and the Gunners have
shown many times in the past the strength
of character and ability to respond well to adversity.
Mertesacker on that right is slow as hell, Debuchey I don't know where he was all
game, Ozil was just floating around not
looking bothered, the guy has all the time to measure his cross, in the middle we had a half hearted Kossy who was winded and wounded and did not want to aggravate his head injury, so he just jumped for the sake
of jumping just to
show that he tried heading that ball away, but it was a mental thing, he had just had a head injury so he was not going to use his head to header that ball..

So a few fans
showed their support for Robbie before this week's
game against Washington, telling him to stay optimistic and
look forward... and the Bears lost because
of Robbie Gould again:
its clear that roy knows how to use our arsenal players better than mr wenger and surely he must be devastated by wilshere's injury because he understands them, knows their best positions and most
of all knows how to utilize their strengths... now before you get all cocky and bi * chy,
look at the records and see it for yourself... my favorite one was when he started a young oxlade chamberlain in euro 2012 ahead
of other well known stars... welbeck has an outstanding england record playing under roy and even though theo has been injured, the few times he has played can
show you that he is really playing a different
game than the one at the emirates.......
Kos was class last night always
looking to pass forward and drive forward from the back and he got the same as ramsey: / Ozil once again
showing his class Walcott worked hard as well BFG actually good
game against top opposition without getting caught out to far up field Bellerin needs to concentrate a bit more on his defending
of late but you can let him off as hes still only 20
How well we square up in
games against these two teams, as tough opponents as they, & with so much at stake and within reach, at such a desperate time in the season, will really
show what we are made
of and can surely give us a lot to
look forward to next season.
Looking more closely at the statistics though, it
shows that he hasn't started a Champions League

of the last seven Premier League
games.
With the 2015 Copa America underway after Chile beat Ecuador 2 - 0 in the opening
game, here's a
look at a best XI
of the superb talent on
show at the competition, featuring some familiar faces from Arsenal, Manchester City and Barcelona...
Perez was a last min buy and he has had no trust
shown in him by Wenger, we can
look at Perez stats and see why as well, 33 %
of dribbles successful... less than 1 shot per
game...
like I've said before, Wenger is simply stating that Sanchez is staying so that he can regain some leverage when it comes time to make a deal and to shift the focus back squarely on Sanchez... this is 101 tactics in PR management... the very fact that he even mentioned RVP's name speaks to the utterance arrogance
of a man that believes he answers to no one... before you harshly judge Sanchez think carefully about what the ultimate intentions
of both parties involved... Sanchez wants to win trophies and get paid generously for his efforts, whereas the club wants to pull the wool over our eyes once again so that we blame the player for wanting the very things we told him we wanted when we brought him in... how many times do we have to go down this road before we realize the only common factor in each
of these scenarios is the club itself... trust me, if we
showed any ambition Sanchez's contract demands would be much different... just like in other major sports players will take a «home town» discount if they see those in charge making a truly honest attempt to fight for the highest honours in their respective fields... that being said, if they see a team trying to make disparaging remarks about them in the press and not following through on their promises, they will likely try to make them pay a premium for their services or seek greener pastures... btw if anyone simply
looks at the score versus Bayern today and thinks that even for a second that this was a deserved victory, just watch the
game and judge for yourself... actually save yourself the anguish and just know that if it weren't for Cech and Martinez this could have been a repeat
of our Champions League flopping or worse
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 personally thought we were poor but I put some
of that down to fatigue from the FA cup extra time win over Man City and it is
looking back at that match that gives me confidence that Arsenal can beat Spurs, because it
shows once again that we can raise our
game when needed, especially when it is the Gunners who are the underdogs.
I don't see how two mediocre wrs changes the fact we need to finally hit on at least one
game changer at wr early and our history
shows we can find oline late lall we have to do is
look at what Rd Wagner and Alex Lewis we're drafted but if they are cool with getting left in the past with this pre historic style
of offense than we will continue to be mediocre
I think his strike rate was only a bit lower than it was previously (though I haven't
looked up the stats lately so I could be wrong there), and he
showed that playing wide is another part
of his
game that he can bring out if needed.
