If we start this
season with those two in our starting 11 it will be a clear sign from this organization that nothing has changed and that we will never get it right until both Kroenke and Wenger are gone... neither one
of these players should still be with our club at this point because they represent the settling half - measures that have plagued this team for a number
of years... this is what I call the «no man's land»
of the soccer world, where teams don't have enough talented young players, unlike a Monaco or Dortmund, because they have lost the plot from an organizational standpoint... they are so reliant on one individual to run the whole operation that their once relevant scouting department has become so antiquated that it can no longer find those hidden gems it once had... furthermore, when you leave all decision - making to a manager who despises any dissenting opinions, your management team becomes little more than a stagnant group
of «yes men» and no new ideas emerge... so instead
of developing a team with the qualities necessary to excel in a particular system, you continually make half - brain purchases year after year to stifle dissent from the
ticket - buying public, then try desperately to finagle together a lineup regardless
of what would make positional sense... have you ever heard
of a team who plays players
out of position so often...
of course not because that manager would likely be fired and never work for a team
of any consequence ever again

of that as Gazidis suggests everyone should, they do it because they want the fun
of supporting the club they love and not knowing what is going to happen over the course
of a
season, all they know is that their club is trying to be as successful as possible.
Are some
of you on here missing a few brain cells as fans There is nothing Arsenal or Wenger can do with the Sanchez situation He wants to leave and has been offered 400k a week in wages who in their right mind is going to turn that down as a player As for blaming wenger who has been our most successful manager helped us build a stadium gave us 20 years
of cl football and some
of the best teams the ol has seen Including the invincible and you all have the Gaul to trash the man as if he has done nothing for the club I suggest you should look at the plastic fans in the Arsenal blogs that have created a toxic atmosphere at the club They attack their own players in a daily basis why would any top player come to s club where the manager the owners and players are shamelessly attached constantly Yet Wenger wins trophies regularly even them that is derided Look at Spurs Liverpool they win fuk all every year yet their fans back then Look at yourselves and all the negativity that you have created striking the club before you blame Wenger for everything I have been a
season ticket holder since the 70s and never have I seen our fanbase been so full
of entitled morons who have stopped backing the club and constantly deride the club snd attack it We have the worst fanbase in football you have made this great club a lagging stock in world football All you now us fans constantly moaning If you don't like Arsenal fc then buy
out kronke and run the club or fuk off and support someone else You won't be missed Coyg
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
In other words, a large chunk

Sort it
out people we bench are top scorer and going to replace oizl with a player we let go for free and buy him for ten million I want big signings stop protecting wenger he needs To go really starting to think
of giving up my
season ticket I've had enough
of the same crap week in and
out and people standing up for wenger get him kronka and gazidis
out now a stand needs to be made Iam done
For your info I am London based and do have a
season ticket, not sure how that's relevant to Wenger spending money on exceptional players, to be honest I think playing players
out of position, very rarely playing your best goalscorer for ninety minutes, predictable tactics, failing to sign up two
of your best players to new deals and many many more failings helps our opponents far more than any Wenger
out banner or protest.
We should design the biggest protesting plan that the world
of football has ever seen, we should show the world that even in the era that money and billionaires are trying to corrupt football, fans still can take control, when we don't buy
tickets or any merchandises the board wont profit, Emirates Stadium should be filled with very few people all holding banners with «Kroenke
out» written on it, we should use ArsenalFanTV to destroy Kroenke, we have the tools, we should just use them in the right way and then we will defeat Kroenke, from last
season i stopped buying anything Arsenal related and just watched Arsenal getting trashed by teams and it just made me extremely sad!!!
And until the fans who attended matches week in week
out home and away decide enough is enough and start returning their
season tickets or not attending matches and there are a lot
of empty seats, and the revenue starts to decline, then perhaps something will be done, so until then we're stuck with him whether we like it or not.
Until we cease to buy our
season tickets, which for many is akin to taking
out a second mortgage, the ludicrous salaries paid to players and Managers will continue to increase.With regard to the present crop
of Arsenal players some may lack the guts and determination
of the ex players you mention but at the end
of the day the problem at the club now is a lack
of quality particularly through the spine
of the team.Virtually all our fans recognise the need for quality in Goal, at Centre Back and DM.Unfortunately the one man who is in a position to do something about it does not seem to agree with us.
If you own a
season ticket, they will still say numbers are good because it has been sold, and chances are those with
season tickets will want to rent them
out (and do) so they don't loose
out in their investment even though they are sick
of the club.
I think what should be asked, and what is owed to all fans, is why we are always scrimping and saving, when we pay the highest
season ticket prices and we have plentiful cash reserves, as witnessed by our majority share - holder being able to whip
out the odd 3 - 4million
out of it whenever he wants.
Look at Liverpool fans this morning i was reading they are walking
out on the 77th min
of their home game because their
season and match day
ticket hikes have been released to them, already they are making a move.
It's worrying to see that Arsenal has become a club where it can not sell
out or even if the
tickets are sold, then many fans can not be bothered to turn up as a result
of our lacklustre performances this
season.
the silver lining and the light at the end
of this very dark tunnel will be once the money making machine (the deluded one) leaves, no CL money, slow
season tickets sales, Satan Kroenke might decide to leave himself and hopefully either the Russian or the Nigerian will buy the team... right now is just a wishful thinking but the possibility is
out there
Why would they be bothered everyone has bought there
season tickets so they have that money now, Shirt sales would have gone well so they also have that money to, Most people new Arsenal would not change, But to be even worse is a joke, That is what we are, We must get Kronke
out of our club first.
Got home from the game about an hour or so ago, purely because the trains were delayed and what not, nearly got my head kicked in by the Southampton lot on the way back too and this is after seeing us loose 2 - 1 at home to a lesser team than us and then I just read that Stan Kroenke has taken 3 million quid
out the club which coincidently is part
of the 3 % rise
of season ticket prices... Not been my night really.
Vieira Lyn Article is one
of the best I have read, well done, only the fans can force kroenke
out, mass protests and hit them where it hurts (financially) don't bye
season tickets or shirts, it's all about profit not football anymore at arsenal, let there shares crash and see how these sharks sell and get
out, together we can do it,
players like Ozil always present the fans with a bit
of a conundrum, especially when times are tough... if you look around the sporting world every once in awhile there emerges a player with incredible skill, like Ozil, Matt Sundin or even Jay Cutler, who have a different way about themselves... their movement seemed almost too lackadaisical, so much so that it seemed to suggest indifference or even disinterest on the part
of the player... their posture always appears somewhat mopey and they generally have an unflattering «sour puss» expression on their face... for some their above average skills are enough to keep them squarely in the mix, as their respective teams try desperately to find a way to get the best
out of them visa vie player acquisitions or the reworking
of tactics... when things go according to planned the fans usually find a way to accept their unique disposition, whereas when things go awry they become easy targets for fans and pundits alike... in the case
of Ozil and Sundin, their successes on the international stage and / or with their former teams led many to conclude that if we surrounded such talented individuals with players that have those skills that would most likely bring the best
of these players success would surely follow... unfortunately both the Maple Leafs and our club chose to adopt half - measures, as each were being run by corporations who valued profitability over providing the best possible product on the field... for them, they cared more about shirt sales and
season tickets than doing whatever was necessary... this isn't, by any stretch, an attempt to absolve Ozil
of any responsibility for his failures on the pitch... there is no doubt oftentimes his efforts were underwhelming, to say the least, but this club has been inept when it comes to providing this prolific passer with the kind
of players necessary for him to flourish... with our poor man's version
of Benzema up front, the headless chickens in Walcott, the younger Ox and Welbeck occupying wide positions far too often and the fact that Carzola, who provided Ozil with great service and more freedom to roam, was never truly replaced, the only real skilled outlet on the pitch was Sanchez... remember to be considered a world - class set - up man goals need to be scored and for much
of his time here he has been surrounded by some incredibly inept finishers... in the end, I'm not sure how long he will be in North London, recent sentiments and his present contract situation seem to suggest that he will depart at
season's end, but how tragic would it be if once again we didn't put our best foot forward and failed to make those moves that could have brought championship football back to our once beloved club... so when you think about this uniquely skilled player don't be so quick to shift all the blame on his shoulders because he will not be the first or the last highly skilled player to find disappointment at the Emirates if we don't rid the club
of those individuals that are truly to blame for our current woes
This Arsenal board and owner need to know they can't take the p*ss
out of us loyal fans anymore and sending
out their serial bullsh*t ter Gazidis to talk the talk and sell next years
season tickets which he will.
Out there in the wings still is the huge army
of young soccer players, more than eight million strong, according to an A.C. Nielsen survey, that far outnumbers the participants in any other team sport in the U.S.. You'll hear,
of course, that these kids will grow up to be lawyers and then buy
season tickets to baseball and football games.
Oh goody Two more years
of excuses «it was the ref ect ect» Two more years
of not getting the players we need and selling the ones we have And two more years
of bombing get
out of CL in the last 16 Also two more years
of highest
season ticket prices and EVERYONE else in the footballing world either la7gjing at us or shaking Thier heads in utter astonishment Oh goody
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 saw that when I was in Milwaukee, when Green Bay was there, and you could buy
season tickets on the street corner, right
out of your pocket, petty cash.
With 90 %
of fans now wanting Wenger
out, it might be a good idea to announce it before the
season ticket money's due.
The club can not survive without supporters, so negative publicity will affect your beloved Kroenke, whether you like it or not, Kroenke and the board have already had to back down in the face
of supporter pressure when they tried to screw more money
out of us over increase
season ticket prices and the Barcelona game.
Like with Suarez, Like with Higuain, Like with Benzema the same will occur with Morata The trouble is for Wenger he's running
out of strikers to use to get the
season ticket money in, although next
season it may not be his problem any more as it may well be his last
season.
I am neither a Wenger in or Wenger
out - i work and go with what we have as ultimately there isn't too much I can do about it other than hand in my
season ticket and that is not going to happen as I have many friends I only see when at football and some
of the local pubs would go
out of business I am sure if we stopped going:).
We the fans especially the
season ticket holders have paid our fair share
of the stadium for a mediocre team and manager for far too long now Wenger
out, not upstairs and hope that Stan sells up soon
If money isn't an issue then why not get rid
of Kroenke, what use is he apart from having no infrastructure on the board, because it's filled with his accountants, figuring
out how to rip
of the fans and
season ticket holders, to pay for his 3.5 million pounds worth
of «advice»?
in the case
of our club the powers that be sees us as a necessary evil... believe me if they could figure
out a way to take our money without ever having to deal with us they would... instead they simply gauge our concerns then manufacture an aggressive PR campaign addressing said concerns so as to sell
season tickets and the like... so whether it's about Sanchez staying, transfer budgets, lengthy player injuries, club expectations etc... this team has treated us like a petulant teenager that should be seen and not heard, which is a completely disrespectful way to treat incredibly loyal fans who pay some
of the highest
ticket prices in the world... this is why this team doesn't get the benefit
of the doubt, this is why they don't get a pass when they screw up and this is why they don't deserve our respect when it comes time to show them the door... that time is NOW
Oh how I wish fans won't enter the stadium but hold banners
of wenger
out on the streets for the remainder
of the
season, I can't blame some
of us as we've got
season tickets......
