on over the rest of the season and the next 2 windows.

Head
on over there to read the
rest of this post, and this Christmas
season, let the peace
of Christ dwell in you richly.
They had us
over for lunch one day last year and made onions this way: you cut an X almost all the way through the onion; drizzle with olive oil;
season with salt and pepper; wrap it in foil and throw it
on the charcoal with the
rest of your meal.
As for the
rest of the 2016
season, consider this:
Over the last two weeks alone the Rams have dealt with Fisher bickering with franchise icon Eric Dickerson, Fisher fouling up the names
of the Patriots» running backs
on a conference call, and Fisher's problems with Snead and the scouting staff bubbling to the surface.
Spurs have started the new Premier League
season in solid fashion as they followed up their draw away at Everton with a win
over Crystal Palace
on Saturday, although they do arguably still need more clinical play up front and will look to continue to try and put options around Harry Kane for the
rest of the
season.
Our player
of the
season so far?Certainly the most consistent.JACK AND OZIL CONTRACTS - just get them signed up for F *** S SAKE.Jack doesn't want to go anywhere and Ozil will have his choice
of big clubs to choose from if allowed to be able to go
on a free.How about giving out a statement
of our ambitions (yeah right) and show were prepared to pay whatever it takes (up to the point
of being ridiculous) to SIGN the best and KEEP the best» These two are the best we have so get them sorted early to send out a message
of how serious we intend to be.AUBAMEYANG - So what if he has a contract.So did Sanchez.Offer the right money to Dortmund and the player and he will be ours.What is there to question
over this deal?He is a proven goalscorer.We have just lost one.Get the deal done.GIROUD - Get rid
of him to Dortmund if they want him either by selling or if it sweetens the deal just loan him till the end
of the
season.He was a back up when Sanchez was here and will be
on the mix
of back ups if Auba signs.He has a World Cup squad to fight for just to be considered so needs to be playing every week.We do not need him if Auba signs and would demand better than him if the deal fails to happen.Just get rid.JONNY EVANS - I'm not sure.Agree Kos needs nursing through games and we do not have consistent performers to come in if he is injured or
rested mainly due to both Chambers and Holdimg not progressing through as much as we first thought and hoped for.Gooners have always been patient and supportive
of the youngsters as they have come through but question marks to the whole coaching staff as to why these two seem to have stalled as much as they have done.Steve Bould - What do you do?You should be ashamed.
It was a case
of «jeez give a
rest, our
season was a failure, we all know that, but how can you be moaning seconds after a hilarious implosion» Those thumbs day may
of been an indication
of that, getting one
over spurs like that was freaking hilarious, but do they indicate a support that we're right back
on track?
Caroll had his 1 in 10 great game and it happened to be against us Welbeck was a little poor today Iwobi was not bad but West Ham hounded him and he struggled
on occasions Sanchez can be stressful to watch sometimes, he needs to learn how to pass quicker and better and needs to learn to use his left foot Belerin is great but needs to learn to cross as his high crosses are just floaters, which are really easy to defend and very hard to attack Giroud bought some solidity that we needed Ramsey was ok, Walcott was his usual «meh» Hoping that the Arsenal players work
on their weaknesses
over the
rest of this
season and
over the summer.
And if we can finally get one
over on the old enemy, I think it will really put us in a great position to push
on for the
rest of the
season.
It feels like I may as well just give Alexis Sanchez the Arsenal Man
of the Match award for all
of the Arsenal games to come
over the
rest of the
season, because even when he does not score or produce the match winning moment, the Chilean striker is almost always the best player
on the pitch, as was the case again yesterday against West Brom.
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...

The Dodgers also acquired Nick Punto in this trade, which seemed a little odd at the time: one
of the game's top first basemen
on a contract the Dodgers wanted to possess, coupled with a former ace and a former star who had both fallen
on hard times... and also a bench player who hadn't hit even a little bit in his first year with the Red Sox and was only owed a little
over $ 300,000 for the
rest of the
season.
