Although many will suggest that Robson has a personal vendetta of sorts aimed squarely at the Grinch who stole soccer, that doesn't make his words any less truthful... such tactics are nothing new... in the U.S.this business practice has become so common that even the players regularly use the media to manipulate public opinion (LeBron James did likewise to rally public support for himself and away from his teammate, Kyrie Irving, who has asked to be traded)... whether for contract leverage or to rally support for or against certain players, this strategy can be incredibly effective at times, but when it misses the mark it can be dangerously divisive... for a close - to - the - vest team like Arsenal to use such nefarious means to manufacture a wedge between the fans and it's best player (again), is absolutely despicable... for the sanctimonious higher - ups who demand that it's players adhere to a certain protocol regarding information deemed «in house» or else to intentionally spread «fake» news or to provide certain outlets with privileged information for such purposes is pretty low indeed... no moral high ground here, just a big club pretending to be a small club so that they can continue to pull the wool over the eyes of a dedicated, albeit somewhat naive, fan base... so not only does this club no give a shit about it's fans, this clearly shows that clubs primary interests aren't even soccer related... for all intent and purposes Kroenke doesn't care if we're a soccer club or a tampon factory as long as we continue to maximized his investment... stay woke people... great to see more and more people commenting on the state of the franchise... this club needs to be held accountable for it's actions

He certainly did a Giroud when coming on against Leciester on Friday and Ramsey has had his fair share of injuries which have often come about from a busy schedule of games, so perhaps he could be an impact player for Arsenal from midfield just as the big Frenchman is up top.

You are spot on on Perez being better than ozil if he's given the chance, but neither of them are at wilshere's level when fit Wilshere is aggressive, you can't get the ball off him unless you foul him which gives us enough set pieces, he's a big game player, watch our games against Bayern, barca, Chelsea, man city, man utd e.t.c when he plays, he creates more chances You just need to watch his games even at Bournemouth against Chelsea, which brings me back to the point that, no coach will ever play ozil while Wilshere is fit except wenger............ Plus, ozil is a pu ** y or a weakling rather

A stunning number of athletes are playing the game, particularly in the NFL, which showed it has a big following among players when Raiders quarterback Derek Carr began talking about it on Twitter.

It's difficult to blame Ozil for the difficulties he's faced at Arsenal without looking at the big picture... like the fans, he too was lied to by Wenger... there is no doubt in my mind that he was told by Wenger that he was trying desperately to recreate our earlier success by acquiring players that fit the system he ran when Henry was in his prime... as we know this hasn't happened... in order for Ozl to flourish he needs some speed up front, forwards that can make intelligent runs, a boss in the midfield to compensate for his obvious defensive liabilities and defenders who can transition from defence to offence quickly and efficiently... much like he had in Real and with the German National squad... unfortunately he ended up on a squad that has a striker who plays with his back to goal, very few intelligent runs into the box, minus Sanchez, no one to take pressure off him in the midfield, once Cazorla was injured, average defensive midfielders around him, which simply highlighted his lacking defensive qualities and defenders who lack the necessary cutting edge when it comes to transitional passing... instead of blaming Ozil, which is simply too easy, especially considering his mopey disposition, we should be asking ownership and / or Wenger why they brought him in if they didn't intend on doing what was necessary to get the best from him... can you imagine Ozil playing with the likes of Henry, Viera, Petit and Pires, it would be incredibly to watch and even more difficult to stop... so the only thing different between his experiences in Real and with the German team versus his time at Arsenal are the players around him and we all know who is in charge of making those decisions, the Grinch who stole soccer

Every sport book today is computerized, Back in my day money always moved the line if a player was respected, and if the squares tossed enough money on a game most books would move the line a little, However the big books would just sit and even take layoffs from the small stores, They knew even if the squares got hot in the end the juice would eat em up.Gone are the days when Billy Walters and his crew would move the line 3 and 4 points, I'm talking sides not totals, Forget about what they did to the horseshoe with totals in the NBA, Back then you could catch small non computerized stores with bad lines to begin with, imagine a three point move and the small store or corner bookie is off on the line a few points to begin with, I could catch some game with 6 and seven point advantages, with computers today if you can catch a half or one point advantage your lucky.Even if you know the group moving the line most of these store move the lines on air, when I say air they just watch the screen from D.B. And move the line before they even get hit, Hell even the big stores have the sharps on small limits per call.

I just don't know what's wrong with Arsenal fans.Sure I get it as humans we all have our preferences but things start to look funny when we begin to bash and criticize a player like he's useless.I just don't get why Arsenal fans do nt want Vardy.Oh is it because he's not world class, he's English, He's not a big name, he's a fairy tale, you feel all he does is run, he's not got a better history in footballing until now or you feel Giroud is better or what?I really pity Arsenal fans honestly.I would've taken Jamie Vardy in a heartbeat.Sure he's not the best option out there.But I'll say this and say it again it's not a world class striker that wins you a league but rather just increases your chances of winning the league.If you've watched Arsenal clearly from the time since Henry left you realized that it's more of not being able to find a clinical striker.Eduardo was not a already a finished product when he started his career here yet he was clinical and was on world class form until injury.What Arsenal need now is a world class finisher if they can't get a world class striker.

TJARKS: I had Bennett as the No. 1 player on SB Nation's Big Board prior to the 2013 NBA Draft, so I wasn't as surprised as most when the Cavs picked him.

When we were asking Wenger to spend big to buy Lacazette some few seasons back people said he is not proven on the big stage yet and that he was in the French League.Today, we are in a similar situation and we are going to bid a whooping # 50 for a player who'll probably be benched if Sanchez stays and take up the leading role if he leaves.Whrre's the sense in all this?Probably, long term he might be worth it but as of now he ain't.

While some will point to the fact that Francis Coquelin has made a big difference as well as other players like Laurent Koscielny being an improvement on what Arsenal had before, some Arsenal fans feel that nowhere near enough credit has been given to our former defensive star and current assistant manager Steve Bould, who was a player when Arsene Wenger arrived and helped us to win three titles, five domestic trophies and the UEFA Cup Winners» Cup.

In the midfield, (including RWB & LWB) we have a whole bunch of tweeners... none offer the full package, none make sense in our manager's current favourite formation, except for Sead on the left and Ox on the right, and all of them have never shown any consistency for more than a heartbeat... Sead, who I'm including in this category because of our present formation, looks like a positive addition, minus his occasional brain farts, but I would rather see what he could do in a back 4 before making my mind up... Ox, who has never played better, which isn't saying much considering his largely underwhelming play in previous seasons, seems to have found a home in this new formation; unfortunately, can we really expect this oft - injured player to handle the taxing duties that come with said position over the long haul, not to mention, it looks like he has no intention of staying... Ramsey has relied on the empathy that stems from his gruesome injury years ago and the excitement that was generated a few years back when he finally seemed to put in altogether, but on the whole he has been a big disappointment (neither he nor the Ox have scored enough to warrant a regular spot)... Wiltshire should be put on a weekly contract then played until he suffers his first injury, if and when that occurs he should be shipped - out and no one should very be allowed to say his name on club grounds ever again... Elnehy & Coq are average players who couldn't make any of the top 7 teams currently in the EPL... both have showed some great energy on the pitch, but neither are top quality and no good team can afford to have that many average players on their bench playing the same position, especially with Coq's injury history / discipline concerns and Elheny's headless chicken tendencies... as for Xhaka, his tenure here so far has been incredibly underwhelming... we know he has some skills to provide the long ball but his defensive work is piss poor and he gives the ball away too cheaply and far too often... finally, the enigma himself, Ozil, so much skill with his left foot but his presence has been more frustrating than uplifting... in many respects his failure has been directly related to the failure of this club to provide him with the necessary players up front, minus Sanchez of course, and unless something drastic happens very soon his legacy will be largely a negative one (much like Wenger's)

You know it's been a bad offseason when the big win for the front office is that they saved a million dollars on a player who chose to bet on himself.

plus Ramsey can give us goals when he is on song vidal isn't a big goal getter from the middle just gives you a lot more energy and bite to take the game in the middle (not forward) to the other team, but we have enough players that do that so for the price and requirements we need meeting i must say i am out on this one.

«Their players thrive on these big games, as they have shown with victories at Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool, and then again when Chelsea came to visit.

this is what can really make our season when you know sanchez will leave for free next season why pay his wages sell him to psg and build a team which can stay here for years give psg sanchez and 30 million and get draxler verati krychowiak even auriar if a deal falls through when you want to win league you sould have a big squad with good players on bench look at city manu and chelsea they all have good players we need these 4 players there is no player other then ozil who can create a goal for stricker or play a killer pass niether bellerin or oxlade can not play a good threatning ball when striker is in the box if we get them

Arsene Wenger has some big choices to make in the next few days about which Arsenal players will be in the starting line up on Tuesday night, when the German Bundesliga champions come to town for the first of two back to back games that will probably decide our fate in the Champions League this season.

everyone with common sense knows that all the players will be playing a big part in arsenal challenging for titles except may be our defenders & goalkeeper who will play in all our important games otherwise we will see a lot of different combinations used in midfield & attack during the season depending on the opposition or if it, s a cl game to top the group or when it, s been decided already, a cup game or when we have to play twice in a week, injuries, loss of form....

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.

@ leo thats one of our biggest problems right there when i comes to rotating players and tactical subs wenger seems slightly tarded he just runs the same players into the ground time after time and when a game is screaming ouut for certain players to come on he just neglects them or they come in on the 85th min

If not, then no matter how big a squad Arsenal have, we will always have periods when Wenger is having to shuffle the pack and use players out of position or rely on those not normally in the first team.

to be honest his growing on me lately he has improved a lot but he makes the same mistakes when his in our half with his panic passing to players who are marked, he needs to address that ASAP, and i would agree he has huge talent but needs to be loaned out to new arrival EPL team to work on his weaknesses and Arsenal is too big a club for us to field a young player with one or two small shortfall's, same goes to AMN

I am an Ozil hater and I will say why I hate Ozil, Ozil is not a goal threat which would allow other attackers more space, Ozil job is not only to assist but also to score goals, he drops out of sight when placed under pressure, does not provide the team with a lift in dire moments (for our so called big player) and only concentrate on team defence for a few minutes.

i like this guys management skills, when he was intervened on TV while back when he was asked about what makes him so successful he replayed by saying that so far its been easy for him because he has managed two of the biggest clubs on the planet and that the press should respect those managers more who manage lower teams with no finances and average players and get results,

It's never fun to see a great player like John Wall on the bench in street clothes, but it is fun to see them celebrating when their teammates make big plays.

The only thing which makes our team unbalanced is playing the luxury item we bought called ozil.I thought he would need time to adjust to physicality of premier league so i supported him, but the guy hasn't improved he tries to dribble past ppl but runs into them somehow, tries to do showboating at unnecessary time which he fails to do miserably.And i see him giving too many back passes when he should drive forward.And the biggest reason i stopped liking him as a player is bcoz of his sulky attitude.No passion or drive for the club, as if he wanted to be at some other club and is just doing the job without his heart in it.He neeeds to be placed on the bench and make him work hard to retain his place.Ramsey and coq in middle with ox and sanchez on both wing and cazorla as cam will make us a more balanced midfield.

Ozil has been criticised for not turning up on the pitch when it matters most, but he had an impressive display against the Blues earlier in the season and an injury to the German player of the year, would be a big blow to the Gunners.

Thierry Henry has said it all, that there's is a problem in arsenal, there was a time he don't even relate with his teams mate and he question why Sanchez will remain at arsenal after the display against Liverpool, I have said it before the big issue on ground is not money that the player are demanding but the ambition of the club... henry also said, when u are playing for arsenal u are comfortable whether u are playing well or not because there's no pressure on u....

We are paying out millions to two players (Walcott and Wilshire) who are either not willing or unable to deliver the good on the field and this seems a very odd stance for a club who refuses to get involved in the big buy figures than many other clubs do when purchasing their new players.

While I do not think that the Arsenal fans and players especially need to keep our feet on the ground and not get too bullish about this one game, it certainly is a big positive and one more step towards the Gunners getting off to a good start when it really counts.

When the big managers throw players in on the deep end, it is usually a testament to ur mental strenght... Szcezny made his debut against Man U with Almunia fit for selection, Sanogo got those big games against Liverpool and Bayern at the expense of an uninjured Giroud, Welbeck against Madrid at the expense of a fit Rooney, they see these guys in training, we don't.

If i was playing against barcelona id show them who is the boss but then I am the so called the mad man cause i will go for it get the ball and score the goal I have always been like that football needs spirit / form In big stadiums one is in need of spirit and form other wise its cold with not much interest with heads in between knees so players need to feed on something the support the leader chip trust me when I say if we all together want to win barcelona and wanted loud we will win

The club are spending no more money this window - unless an unknown no hoper, Sanogo style, from the French lower division comes for loose change — and this Scrooge club are simply trying to recoup the Lacazette fee from existing deadwood, reduce the wagebill and con us poor mug fans once again with lies about this or that big player being on the radar, when the truth is — as we cynics know very well, who have learned better from bitter experiience of the clubs constant lies — that no one of note is coming in and this dishonourable, shifty club continue to drag our former great name in the mud, with their corrupt misrunning of our once great and glorious club.

His biggest blunder occurred in the fall of 1989 when he scheduled a nationally televised Skins Game on the same weekend as the 13 - year - old Corning Classic, which is held in an upstate New York community popular with the players.

Look at the last big player who moved from one of the big two in Spain when joining manu, Di Maria, that has to be a black mark on manu.

Wenger said on Arsenal.com: «English players could have more of a problem when they come from a smaller club to this club because of how big the pressure is.

I know that Arsenal fans have had our problems with La Liga's Barcelona at times, sometimes on the pitch with our meetings in the Champions League and sometimes off the pitch as they have poached a few big players off us, especially when Arsene Wenger was working on a very tight budget and unable to fight off transfer interest in his best players.
