Following Penn State's big
win over Michigan, a Nittany Lions
fan was
looking to cause some trouble on Twitter when he sent the following to Michigan QB Wilton Speight:
Now let's
look at our beloved Arsenal: Uncertainty
over the future of HALF the squad, ageing squad with players well beyond their sell by date, LIKELY to lose two of our best players, Old TACTLESS, clueless, confused, deluded, arrogant, naive manager with no vision, ambition or hunger to
win a major trophy, UNCLEAR about the manager's future, Silent and absent owner who «did not buy Arsenal shares to
win trophies»,
Fans revolt and infighting etc etc
To Arsenal
fans it was a foregone conclusion that Diego Costa should be punished for his despicable behaviour in Chelsea's
win over the Gunners, so thankfully the FA have called him to book and are
looking for explanations for his actions against Laurent Koscielny.
Still, it was not until a 3 - 0
win over Sunderland in October that they managed to keep their first clean sheet of the season, something that was a concern for City
fans after their team had
looked so hard to break down the previous year.
Following Aston Villa's 2 - 0
win over West Brom at Villa Park, we saw the Villans reach the semi-final or the first time since 2010 and
fans of the Birmingham club
looked excited as they flooded the pitch before the match had even finished, with a few interesting outfit choices.
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...

It has been a tough month for Arsenal
fans since celebrating the Community Shield
win over Chelsea, and our squad has
looked less and less strong as the month has run on, but a deal to bring Lemar to the club could bring some excitement back.
It is rather unfortunate that us
fans suffer from not
winning any major trophy
over the years.What Leicester did was just one off, it will not happen for the next few decades.Football is all about investment, to
win u have to invest well with some luck.Everton did
look at where they are now.We are not at the level of Real, Barca Manu u name them.The big clubs invest heavily and still get some return on their investment.Arsenal will not spend like city or chelsea or PSG.We will go down like Leeds.Let us be honest with ourselves, if u were the owner of this club u will never sack Wenger.He brings u lot of money year in year out.
I started googling way back in may who could we be buying gonzalo higuian, julio cesar and wayne rooney but realize going by history wenger just as no interest in buying world class players, he wants 2 buy d grade players and turn them up to koscienly nd nasri that will take years while da arsenal faithful pay handsome figures for dismal performances,
fans allowed wenger 2 get away when he gets away with these lucky matches of fenerbache been strong on paper but a waste of tym on the pitch, also it happen at bayern but they put a slighty weak team but wenger runt his mouth around of how good da team was after that 2 - 0
win, not forgetting it was bould that got the team defense
looking solid while wenger moan about referee decisions and no blame on team, I just feel we (arsenal) have allowed wenger and co to misuse us, so now our main target aim is benzema yet giroud plays more often than him for france, can any1 see how wenger is lowing our standards and expectations at arsenal, I wil be
over da moon if wenger does not sign an extension wit us, after the gilberto days and disaterous results and teams we play, his approach to the game defensely which is pathetic and his annoying behaviour.So what if manu and chelski haven't really bought they are already strong it was seen last week now we should be worried about our selves since that villa defeat, jst imagine what the man's and london money maniac's are goin 2 do to us, I can see it already coming from wenger, if we find the right player we will buy him, after sept2, we didn't find da right player but the squad can challenge for the title, its so sick having 2 hear that crap, just take him psg, I just wish the
fans would say we had enough of this bullshit transfer policies its time we stood up against these pigs of directors by protesting!
Why can't people for God sake understand the angle the young man was coming from, this is a guy who has come out to suggest what he feel will be of great glory to the team, futbol is about
winning trophy not the samba, champaign, tick taka or jambody style Of playwill be accredited to ur cv after retirement, every professional player will wants to be identify with a medal, mind you he have limited years to his career, therefore we should not allow sentment or affections we have for our various teams erode the basic objective of the game.we should also think about their future too, this guys are proffessionals which young lads are
looking up to and questions will be ask tomorrow about theirs playing days.can people tell me why pele and some other famous players in the world both present and past are been celebrated today the answer is simply cos they are successful in their career and have trophy to show for it in their respective clubs or countries, why the complain in nigeria?its simply cos our team for quite a while now has not recorded any troph to her glory,
fans should learn how to call a spade a spade in order to balance situation and also for better performance of the team.why then did arsene wenger hurridly went to buy more experienced players after the poor outing he had at the beggining of last season?this players know beta cos they are at the centre of it all, we don't have to trash what they say, we
fans are only watching from screen, in as much as we beliv in arsen wenger, we should also know that without the boys no arsen wenger,
fans should try to reason along with the players too.an hypotetical cases of similar to rvp has been tested by some players and have put them right
over the coach and the team.so, whatelse does the
fans needs to prove that futbol has gone beyond living in the past.for example, fabrigas and nasri were able to prove their critics wrong.thank God for them, we should always be objective in our submission, how else do we expect players to show their commitment to a team that was in 8 on the log table and later fought their way back to 3rd this boys are commendable and deserve to be encouraged, I think is high time the manager and the mgt board of arsenal futbol team get to know that game of futbol has gone beyond two teams domination, its now like a pendilum which can swing either way only with a powerful insrument called money.you can't eat ur cake and have.

Blackburn

Here is a
look at what many Juve
fans would consider his best moment of the 2016/17 season - his fabulous goal that earned them a 1 - 0
win over Inter (thanks to Soccer - Blogger for the Video)

fans is that Blackburn have
won on two of their last three visits to Sunderland while Steve Bruce has to
look all the way back in 2002 for Sunderland's most recent home victory
over Blackburn.
Wenger could go and get a replacement for Cazorla, he could of got jack back if he'd known that loans can be for 6 mths, (well done Arsene) but he won't do that, he, l just *** this season up like he does every season, a weakened team in the FA cup and its season
over, surely no Arsenal
fan truly believes we can
win the league, in fact there's a good chance that St Totteringhams day will be cancelled cos we
look no different from past seasons.
on Pic: It
looks like Serge Aurier is going to
win over a lot of Tottenham
fans with his social media activity this season

win the game went in the 84th minute as Alli steered a shot
over from close range after Vardy had
won the ball back in Germany's area and teed him up, but his club team - mate Dier got him off the hook in the 91st minute as he headed home his first England goal, sending the away
fans wild in the process.

winning those very same
fans over.

win fans over.
The Sony Xperia Z
looks impressive and will
