But who knows, maybe Walcott will pull his finger out, Now that Roy Hodgson has told him that his place is not guaranteed for the Euro's, unless he starts playing
more games for his club.
Those of us who were there on 19 August 1967 for the opening game of the season against Sheffield Wednesday witnessed the debut of the player who went on to play
more games for the club than any other, 799, in a long career that spanned 21 seasons.
Not exact matches
Never expect
more than 20
games in a season with form and fitness together from Ramsey so the best option is buy Goretzka and send Nelson on year long loan to a bottom
club and the boy will be good enough
for first team football in full swing from next year.
And it is ridiculous that some fans want the team to lose even
more games so the manager will be sacked, is your love
for the
club bigger or the hatred to the manager bigger?
Its seems to me that both the
club and it's fans are not serious.Anytime Arsenal sign a youngster from another team who is dubbed the next whatever people come out and say Arsenal have just signed a youngster who may or may not make it and that Arsene should sign ready made.They say it to seem as if it's a bad thing.Now that Chris Willock is leaving I'm anticipating that a lot of people are soon going to be blaming the same Wenger who actually likes bringing in youngsters.Anyway you have to look at the reasons he lfet.It's
for game time and to him he thinks its a good choice.The bright side is that he's not Arsenal's most talented player.The likes of Donyell Malen, Yassin Fortune, Reiss Nelson in my eyes have
more potential as wingers.I also think Arsenal should be very excited about Eddie Nketiah and Stephy Mavididi.They can be world class strikers in the future particularly Eddie.
Let me list them: Alexis (LW — nailed starter) Ox (RW — played 1
game since Jan and is future CM) Theo (RW — not good enough
for the starting 11) Welbz (LW / RW — 2nd fiddle to Alexis, used
more for his work rate) Poldi / Campbell / Gnabry (only Gnabry has a future at the
club.
Wimmer joined Spurs from Cologne
for # 4.3 m in 2015, but only started 13 Premier League
games over his two years at the
club yet Arsenal struggled to sell Gabriel who's better than him and with
more experience and appearance
for 10m.
Austin scored 18 goals at better than a goal every two
games in his first season as a Premier League player and the fact that he did it
for a
club that was getting beaten all the time and was relegated should be even
more impressive.
Bottom line, if he is angered bench the players who were not good enough and play those who deserve some
game time based on the Southampton
game or on
games where they had a positive impact: - Take Özil out and play Ox in the hole (he has to understand your the highest paid player of the
club, your given freedom like nobody else and your even seeking even
more money with a new contract you can't play like that ever and go AWOL)- Put Sanchez on the wing or up top but put Welbeck in (Walcott didn't track back near enough
for the Alsonso goal)- Iwobi has been bright from the wing let him play there - Xhaka has to go back in the holding midfield role and I would take out Coquelin because he could've taken a foul on the hazard's goal.
Now hopefully over his injury problems and growing in confidence after a run in the team in recent weeks, Oxlade - Chamberlain showed yesterday that he can be a big -
game player
for the
club, and his form in attack could give Arsene Wenger's side a whole new dimension to their
game, with the youngster providing a little
more width, pace and directness than players like Mesut Ozil and Santi Cazorla in that area.
Walcott and Wilshere are the
club saviours and leading lights with transformative abilities once
more on the back of a single match and others with a full season's contribution under their belts should just automatically make way
for them
for the most important
game of the season?
inappropriate and irrelevant statistics that do
more harm then good
for arsenal before the
game trying to make a mockery of our
club.
So yes Kroenke is the main problem but
more for his lack of ambition and understanding of the
game and the
club than
for his lack of investment.
As well as that, it would also be pretty sweet off the pitch as we might see a little
more of James Rodriguez WAG on these shores, be it at Anfield
for games or rocking up at
club Christmas or end - of - season parties.
i know klopp (i believe he will be perfecting his tactics maybe might add a bit
more possession play to his
game and management skills while on leave) likes to have big control in the transfers of his
clubs so this might be a
more smoother move
for the
club in future.
Absolutely right there He won't go anywhere because he does what the board wants him to He delivers profit and very low risk and sets expectations at virtually zero so that's the fans don't expect too m7ch and he doesn't have to deliver and the board don't need to spend Its a farce and
more importantly a blatant con Every single fan who puts even a penny into the
club either through season tickets right the way down to buying a mug or a pen or a shirt is being robbed by a board who care NOTHING
for sporting glory and even less
for the fans who finance the
club There SHOULD be mass walkouts on home
games and protests at every turn but, there won't be because the demographic of fans now is of a majority who are not true supporters but millennial who only want to say they attend the ground every other week.
Of course it would be silly to suggest that winning any
game, cup or otherwise, isn't good
for the
club, but let's remember just how problematic FA Cup success has been
for this
club... I'm certainly not going to suggest I didn't enjoy seeing Arsenal win, I'm a fan of this
club first and foremost, but how bad are things when you find yourself secretly wishing that your own team lost so that just maybe real change would finally come... I resent this team
for even making me feel such thoughts and it's going to take a lot of effort on their part to earn my trust again... this
club has treated the fans so poorly that it has created an incredibly fragile and toxic environment, so much so that a «what have you done
for me lately» mentality has emerged... fans rise and fall depending on the results of each
game because we don't have faith in those in charge to make the necessary changes to personnel and tactics... each time we win many fans attack any dissenting voices and make unrealistic claims about the players, the manager and the potential
for unprecedented success... every time we lose the boo - birds run rampant, calling
for heads to roll and predicting the worst... regardless of what side you fall on, it's not your fault, both sides are simply overcompensating
for the horrible state of affairs that have been percolating
for several years... it's hard to take the long view when those in charge have lied incessantly and refuse to take any responsibilities
for their own actions... in the end, we are trapped by the same catch - 22 that ManU faced upon Fergie's exit... less fearful of maintaining the status quo than facing the unknown, which was validated, wrongly or rightly, by witnessing the difficulties they have faced during this transitory period... to be honest, the thing that scares me most is that this team has never prepared whatsoever
for this eventuality, which considering our frugal nature and the way we have shunned many of our most revered former players is
more than a little disconcerting
Aaron now has
more than 300 appearances
for the
club, but in his 7 years as a first team regular he has only averaged around 27 League
games per season due to ongoing injury problems.
Nevertheless, with the likes of Wayne Rooney and David De Gea tipped to leave, there could also be
more flexibility that way while Zlatan Ibrahimovic may have played his last
game for the
club after suffering that unfortunate knee injury.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan was able to slot home what turned out to be nothing
more than a consolation goal against his former
club, but there were no second guesses
for the winner of the goal of the
game.
An awful defender
for Arsenal, Pascal Cygan did not contribute a great deal to the Gunners» Premier League title win in 2003/04, and one feels if he had played a few
more games the
club may well not have managed to go unbeaten that year!
I love Barcelona always will and been loving this
club since the Ronaldinho days, but it's been about 2 to 3 years now that this
club is showing stupidity and no ambition whatsoever, bad signings, a dumbass coach that has never won anything important, and loosing the future of soccer and not realizing it, also used that money on a player that gets benched
for champions league??? This is driving me crazy the
more I think bout it, I'm so sad and still so hurt, Iama wach the
game because of the love I have
for this
club, but honestly I don't see our ambition, we have Messi another two to three years, please Barca don't fuck those years up I beg you!!!!
The 26 - year old has been at Dortmund since 2008 and has completed
more than 200
games for the
club, helping them to back to back league titles, a German cup and two German super cups.
Up front we have a few world - class players surrounded by some serious pretenders... Sanchez is by far the most accomplished player in our attack but the controversy surrounding his contractual mishandling could see him go before the window closes or most definitely by season's end... obviously a mistake by both parties involved, as Sanchez's exploits have never been
more on display than in North London, but the
club's irresponsible wage structure and lack of real intent have been the real undoing in this mess... Lacazette, who I think has some world - class skills as a front man, will only be as good as the players and system around him, which is troubling due to our current roster and Wenger's love of sideways passing... Walcott should have been sold years ago, enough said, and Welbeck should never have been brought in from the get - go... both of these players have suffered numerous injuries over their respective careers and neither are good enough to overcome such difficulties: not to mention, they both are below average first - touch players, which should be the baseline test
for any player coming to a Wenger - led Arsenal team... Perez should have been played wide left or never purchased at all; what a huge waste of time and money, which is ridiculous considering our penny pinching ways and the fact that fans had been clamoring
for a real striker
for years... finally Giroud, the fact that he stills wears the jersey is a direct indictment of this
club's failure to get things right... this isn't necessarily an attack on Giroud because I think he has some highly valued skills, but not
for a team that has struggled to take their sideways soccer to the next level, as his presence slows their
game even
more, combined with our average, at best, finishing skills... far too often those in charge have either settled or chosen half - measures and ultimately it is us that suffer because no matter what happens Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke will always make
more money whereas we will always be the ones paying
for their mistakes... so every time someone suggests we should just shut - up and support the team just think of all the sacrifices you've made along the way and simply reply... f *** off
OF course you can't blame him
for everything, but everything football related yes he runs that side of the
club without interference from anyone, here is a man who blames everything and everyone other than ever looking at himself when the team loses a
game,
for how many years has the
club been crying out
for a world - class dm, he refused to buy player's to compliment ozil and Sanchez, yes 100 percent, a better manager would get
more from the same players..
The guy kept our season afloat
for the first 4 months with his goals, scored the goal to secure UCL group stages, scored both semi-final goals to take us to FA cup final, is the
club's top scorer, has been involved in
more goals + assists than anyone in the PL, scored
more goals than the media's fave Costa from a deeper, wider position, plays every second of every
game as if it was his last, is always smiling, helped instill a hungrier work ethic in the team — all in a first season.
As the current season hots up and enters one of the busiest and most important periods,
for clubs like Arsenal that are still in the Champions League and the FA cup that is, Arsene Wenger knows that each
game takes on
more importance and a bad performance or two could really damage our hopes of success.
Merson Wright Robson or anyone who has an axe to grind with Arsenal is at it I don't give a shit what they think I support th
club and team in general if they play shit we have had
more success then most teams Thy seem to Laud spuds but the fukers win nothing they won 2 trophies in 30 yeas but I don't see the media others pulling them up on it like we had when we didn't win anything
for 10 years There is definitely an agenda in the media against Arsenal and its sadly spearheaded by ex Arsenal players So I say when they ubfairly attack the
club and our existing players they are fair
game for retribution from the real fans who lives be the
club and will support it through thick and thin.
He's scored 42goals in 99 Premier League appearances - only Thierry Henry (59), Ian Wright (56) and Emmanuel Adebayor (44) scored
more in their first 100 league

Of course every big
game boosts your confidence, but
for us
more than focusing on the fact it is Manchester United, a big
club and a big rivalry over the years, what is important is to have the chance to achieve our target.
A lot of Arsenal fans have been wondering
for years about the possibility of our left back Kieran Gibbs making the decision to leave Arsenal and seek
more regular
game time at another
club.
The Belgian starlet has been the subject of intense speculation recently with a number of
clubs all thought to be keen on snapping him up, and the player himself has expressed a proclivity
for sealing a move away in search of
more regular
game time.
In comments reported on the Arsenal website the Frenchman spoke about how all of the
clubs in the other leagues around Europe treated their own cup competitions and did not play a bunch of kids to save themselves
for the league matches, even the biggest
clubs like Barcelona who because of the
club world cup and the Champions League will most likely play
more games than the Gunners this season.
can you just imagine a top level
club being so desperate that they would hire Wenger to manage their
club... I guarantee that there is no truth to this story except the fact that he might have considered leaving Arsenal
for a split second then he proceeded to lock himself in Kroenke's closet and threatened to harm himself with the plastic fork he always carries in his breast pocket, just in case there are free samples at the grocery store, until he was promised 2
more years... at which point they embraced one another in such an awkward fashion that Kroenke's mustache got stuck in Wenger's coat zipper... two hours or so later, once they were finally separated, they retired to Kroenke's private lounge where they watched his favourite movie «Major League» then played a quick
game of Monopoly
A
club run by joe Lewis lol when was the last fuking time Spurs won a trophy give it a fuking rest Wenger has won
more trophies then spuds in their whole fuking history Sick of plastic fans constantly knocking the manager and players like you are fuking genius experts in knowing all about football We have the worst fan base in football a bunch of ingrates Why would any top player come and join Arsenal when they see how fans treat their own players like ozil Lol at people talking about Spurs and pool fukers don't win any trophies but their fans stay loyal ours turn nasty every
game werther we win or lose It won't change even if we get a new manager they will turn on him at first defeat What we need is
for the vocal minority of plastic key board fans to fuk off and stop bringing the
club down Coyg
Unlike many I'm not scared at all if he leaves.You know why?Because I've seen better players leave the
club and seen where we ended up.He's very good and world class but not as good as many think.Forget stats
for a moment and look at his quality.I also hope the mistake of keeping Mr. Hold up at the
club would not be made.Here at Arsenal we compromise a lot and we always ignore the cracks until it's too late.Wait till Lacazette goes
for a three or four month injury.Then we'll know we never learn.I hope Bellerin doesn't make this mistake of leaving Arsenal.He has so so much to learn.His
game still lacks that something.He needs to know how to maximise his potentials and be consistent.That will only come with
more playing time and patience.Arsene should not even think of letting him go as we will have to spend money on a RB and besides we need him.
the obvious fact is that the
club began to stagnate in football terms a decade ago after the CL semi against man utd and has been in outright retreat over the last 3 years... some fans were calling
for wenger to leave in 2011 - 12 as it was clear he could not cope with a
more competitive environment others have been
more tolerant, hanging on to fa cup glory and hoping that he would somehow self correct his weak and erratic management style but most now realise that is not possible and that the
club will deteriorate further under his management so also want him gone, that has left a hard core of wenger loyalists who are either fixated with the past (selecting episodic good and bad times to justify wengers decade long failure) or too frightened of the future to contemplate a change (with selective reference to failed managerial changes by way of justification) or both, to conclude, through a mixture of panglossian fatalism and corporate philosophising, how lucky we are to have such an honourable and educated man in charge... along with their confused references to
club loyalty and addiction to computer
games these are troubled souls who need our sympathy and concerned medical advice... SO JUST F OFF STOCK UP ON CANNED SOUP AND GO SUPPORT ASTON VILLA ON FIFA!
I mean a
club without fans is nothing... we have power, power to show enough is enough & we're fed up of those excuses of we were unlucky & bad refereeing: the truth of the matter is if you play better regardless 9/10: you score
more, you defend better & you WIN except
for that odd
game.
But, at the moment, it looks
more likely that one of them will leave the
club for more game time.
Although I've found it very cathartic to speak, vent and end occasionally rant about all things Arsenal, we need to act carefully and intelligently right now or we're going to get played by this
club even worse than at present... the pro-Wengerites and the suits, who represent a considerable proportion of the season ticket holders, don't want to believe that there is no plan and that Wenger has mailed it in
for several years now or that things are going to get much worse before they get better... why would they... many have spent a considerable sum buying some of the highest priced tickets in the World... they want to have a front row seat to see something special and to be seen doing so, which simply provides ample justification
for the expense and the time invested... to many of them, Wenger is the sun in their soccer universe... his awkward disposition, misplaced arrogance and his utter lack of balls makes him a rather unusual cult figure, but the cerebral narrative seemed to embolden those who already felt pretty highly of themselves... many might not even of really liked football that much before his arrival and rarely
games they weren't attending... as such, they desperately believe that Wenger, and only Wenger, can supply them with their required fix... if he goes, they were wrong and that's a tough pill to swallow... they would have to admit that they were duped... they will definitely resent whoever made them feel this way, but of course it will be too late by then... so when we go overboard with ridiculous comments bordering of anarchy, it scares the shit out of them and they shift their blame towards us rather than at those who really perpetrated this act of treason... we aren't the enemy... we simply woke much earlier and the reason our comments have gotten
more vile in recent years is out of utter frustration... in order
for any real change to occur at this
club we need to bring as many supporters as possible with us or the big money interests will fade and our ultimate objective will be lost... so it's time to focus on the head instead of the heart
for now

If he wants to play as CDM he will have to bulk up, simplify his
game and have much
more discipline but it could be a wise move
for both his international and

for a CDM.
