The first would cement the
club (and Wenger) as the all - time best in the oldest Football Cup in the world (which has a nice ring to it and winning at Wembley always is a great feeling), the 2nd would also be very sweet as we could use adding a European Football Cup to our trophy cabinet (and the
bigger one is
out of reach for the moment)!
Arsene Wenger has now moved to criticise the system which allows the
bigger clubs to have all
of these players
out on loan, which no doubt halts the progress that some
of these youngsters were making.

big leagues and I think its about time they used it to give the fans what they have dished

out in their home nation.

If the Mail's report
of Di Maria leaving is accurate, then his departure will surely help the
club fund these
big moves, while Robin van Persie has already been sold this summer, and the Mirror adds that Rafael and Jonny Evans are two more who are likely to be on their way
out of Old Trafford.
Many
of the world's best players and top young talents could be making their ways to the Premier League this January if reports are to be believed, while some
big names could also be on their way
out as elite foreign
clubs come calling and managers perhaps try to shift some unfancied members
of their squads to make room for other purchases.
All this has been coming for a long time now, Arsene Wegner knows that the majority
of the fans want him
out, and he refuses to leave, because Arsenal FC is the only club that would allow him that amount of time, because he makes them loads of money, so as long as he pleases the pay masters, why should he care about people who has no power, and like most big organisations they continue to shit on us knowing full well that we are incapable of organising ourselves, so as long as he's at this club I'll be WEGNER O

club's main target this season is to break back into the Champions League, having missed

However in the last five years we have allegedly got our debts under control and are a
club that each year turns a healthy profit, we were also told by Wenger that the Fifa FFP rules would limit the other

out with the Chelsea and Man City's
of this world.

club.
The empty seats are a clear sign the fan base are not too pleased.We ARE a
big Club.We sell
out for every game (ish) so there is no hiding from the empty seats.They are there for all to see.Its embarrassing for the
Club and it can not be ignored any longer.It remains to be seen what happens
of it continues but in my mind this is a clear sleight on Wenger AND The Board.
it could be a
bigger than we anticipated summer in terms
of players in and
out wenger will look to recoup as much as he can for
out goings getting any unwanted high earners
of the books might be an options like poldolski his # 100,000 p / w his unwarranted for what he brings to the team, as might be walcott he is at a crossroads now in his arsenal career he can either stick it
out with us and show us the respect the
club deserves for paying and making him the player he is today.
The FA cup has been devalued in recent years by the scheduling and by the
bigger clubs treating it as a nuisance, the worst case when Man United dropped

NO, If we can be honest and unbiase No they are all right to be disappointed in Arsenal because we are supose to be this
BIG CLUB and we have failed to live up to big club expectation and ability and yes not only the top five have improved but sadly the rest are catching up, I'm not saying we are a total disaster but we should do better, I'm going to stick my neck out here but I think we will finish 3rd this season only because Chelsea failed to buy one or two players more for depth in case of injury and Spuds could have problems settling at Wembley and Liverpool could lose their top player in January and have injury problems and worst they have

CaughtOffside's weekly diarist SuesieG pulls something
out of nothing from the week's
biggest Premiership
club news.
They seem to be spread
out decent enough, there's only a couple
of times when we face
big clubs closely followed one after one another.
There is also a
big possibility
of Arsenal signing him, and then loan him
out to a
club where he will be promised that he can play every week.
If we buy no
big name other than Cech, we'll fail in the league again and Wenger / Gazidis would be forced
out of the
club by a huge backlash from the fans.
A
big club first
of all holds on to its
big players and gives a message
out to all the other
big clubs they just can not come in and take them away from you.
In the case
of Ozil, Sanchez and Cech, they were displaced by Rodriguez, Neymar and Curtois respectively, three
of the hottest kids on the block but still they won't be
out of place in any
of the
biggest clubs in Europe, again Xhaka looks like he could too.
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)
The players Wenger signed to strengthen the team, namely Mustafi, Xhaka and Kolasinac are simply not good enough for an aspiring top four team.They along with Czech and Ospina should be the first to be shown the door along with all the players currently
out on loan.The
Club would take a
big bit in terms
of resale value but it would free up considerable wages to be utilised in bringing in better quality defenders.Anybody who sees a bright future for Arsenal with Mustafi at Centre Back has my sympathy.
They could still qualify for the Champions League via their league position or by winning the Europa League, so with Liverpool on the verge
of missing
out on Europe's
biggest club competition, Rodgers could actually sell it to the press as an upgrade!
As well as the likes
of Chelsea and Man City, this summer could see many
clubs around Europe pulling
out all the stops and going for the
big money players.
He is a very
big part
of the reason the
club is in the mess its in right now and now he is being used to help Pompey get
out of their might
big pickle they are in?
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.
He'll start off by insulting new arrivals and then he'll come
out with the same old comment he's been using for years,» I was wanted by the
biggest clubs in Europe but chose to honour my contract» in an attempt
of emotional blackmail to get the board to at least let him see
out his contract until 2019.
kronkes influence over the
club is minimal at best how many decisions does he actually make in the public
club domain that we all know
of, i am only guessing here but just because he is majority shareholder it doesn't mean he can just do what he wants without the other board members say so, i suppose the rest
of the board would vote him
out of power and liquidate his shares if he did something really wrong like leveraged the
club against a
big debt.
In wenger we trust COYG u spoilt little brats, you muppets ain't even been tested in your arsenal fan career never seen your
club finish lower then fourth every year we play in cl against the
big boys and you lot act like were in crisis and things are so bad wow I'm beyond belief just can't get my head around the way you lot act sometimes step back a bit a think a little you twats most
of you in your life time have never seen your team finish lower then fourth yes fûc #ing fourth most
of you don't even no what it's like to be a real fan wen your team are struggling finishing mid table and still saying you love the
club and protect them never in my life have I heard a generation
of arsenal fans critise manager players board everything about our
club wen things our knowere near as bad as you make
out to be and could be.
I don't really blame any
of those players at all, first mistake from Wenger was his team selection and secondly wrong players in a wrong position,, its quite sad with all their mouths and boasting
of starting the season strongly and aiming for the league just a waste
of energy and wishful thinking, am putting the whole blame on Wenger, where is Belerin, why Ozil, Cazorla played
out of positions, you should know their weaknesses and strength as a coach, why must we pass and pass to score a goal, many opportunities came from shooting distance but the players will always be looking for the next person to pass the ball to, its quite unfortunate that a
big club like arsenal is relying on a scrappy Giroud to lead an attack
of a team aiming to win the league.
I'm so sick
of people telling those
of us who are disgruntled fans to relax and give this
club time to correct itself... for anyone who believes that taking a wait - and - see approach is appropriate at this juncture they should take a good long look at themselves in the mirror because they are a
big part
of the problem... no other «
big»
club's fans would stand for this shit for nearly as long as we have... think about it, we've witnessed a changing
of the guard at every major
club in England, Spain, France and Germany in the last several years because those «
big»
clubs failed to live up to expectations (Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern, PSG, Chelsea, ManU, ManCity etc...)... for some reason, many fans have become as fragile as our current manager, believing that there couldn't possibly be a suitable replacement, even though everyone
of these
clubs have found multiple replacements and still achieved far more than our
club... this mindset has been created by an organization that has been milking it's fans, telling countless lies (no world class players available) and lowering expectations every since they rolled
out the
biggest lie
of all: that we couldn't spend because
of the new stadium but once it was paid off we could compete with any team in the world... this organization is rotting from the inside
out and if we don't demand that those in charge put soccer first this despicable behaviour won't end with Wenger's ridiculous 2 year contract... I think the real fear isn't that a suitable replacement doesn't exist, but that this organization is so money hungry and poorly mismanaged that we will sink even lower by choosing our next coach the same way they choose our players, on the cheap... even so, we need to see what mustache will do if left to his own devices so he will have to show his true colours... only then can we purge this
club and start anew
You are at one
of if not the
biggest club in world football, winning trophies and playing with superstars week in week
out, year after year.
hehe well u r the one who is delusional talking about arsenal is in ur bloods well for us arsenal is our blood.whats this with wenger support if its top four that u guys value so much and hve made it more appealing than a epl title wow shame on
of all us see what we hve turned aarsenal into.THIS IS ARSENAL.the moment someone becomes
bigger than a
club then no way are things okay.ill end with asking my question which has not been answered yet... do u believe wenger will win title with arsenal nxt yeat (epl), do u believe we will be among the strong contenders for the title untill the end when it matters most???? wenger is a smart guy he knows nxt season automatic arsenal will be struggling even for fourth so that is our target and its a shame we fans r ready to waste another year.I am done with this saga we will find
out soon enough and I hope and pray we don't regret giving this so called legend another chance coz I hve screamed, cried, and pple dare call pple who want change not arsenal fans or not die hards.cheers guys seems top four is safe our annual top fourbparade is in place
