But at least one rule change appears to have improved the numbers: touchbacks have only resulted in 17 to 20 concussions over the last several years, about half the injuries compared with pre-2011 seasons when that play moved the ball to the 20 - yard rather than 25 - yard line.

Dr. Deneen over at the Front Porch has written a blog titled, The New World Order, that one might describe as either being rather pessimistic this holiday season or spot on in an analysis of the current condition.

Drivers are allowed three of each component over the course of the season and if Honda can't repair any previously failed parts, then it's surely a matter of when rather than if the penalties will come.

wenger is a legend in his own mind so other peoples opinions... fans, ex players, journalists, etc... have no bearing on his greatness or the righteousness of his own decisions... from end of last season it was clear we needed two quality attacking options to put up a serious challenge (getting rid of walcott and campbell or ox and bringing in a serious upgrade over giroud) instead he brought in another midfield option (having done the same in the winter window) which only makes sense in his own delusional world rather than the reality of facing up to serious and strengthening competitors and which defines the job at hand....

i like the idea of doing one - offs rather than a «full season» because it suits my inconsistency... that being said if someone set up a official league that ran over a series of events then i would be more diligent to follow closely, i thought i had the time to do so but alas i don't the UFC Fantasy page is pretty slick and would probably suit our purposes.

This season and the runs where Houston turned into an unstoppable force, rolling over every team they faced, allows me to go into the playoffs with expectations, rather than just blind hope.

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)

They'd rather wait for the one time it fails so they can bash You blame the manager for being favourist yet a fellow blogger praising a player he previously bashed is called being two faced You kill Ramsey for a blind pass attempting to enter the opposition final third yet you won't blame Sanchez for turning over the ball in a pointless dribble with three free team mates You kill metersacker for deflecting a shot into his own net but won't touch kos for getting out of the way of a shot he could have sufficiency blocked You claim with no substantial proof that arteta, mert, Ramsey, can not lead arsenal anywhere substantial yet they have each at a point been a massive cause for stability and progress when called upon Even after reading this comment, you will ignore the fact that kos was awful until partnerd with mert, our defensive mid with song leaked more goals than the one with arteta and we've struggled to win without him at least until late last season.

It now means that Oxlade Chamberlain seems to have one final season to prove his value as an Arsenal player and if he doesn't manage to reach the heights expected from him this season, then it seems as if his Arsenal career could be over sooner rather than later.

Very few of them seem to have changed their minds much, as we keep hearing such doubts like, «have Arsenal got the leaders we need to get through the tough times» and «can the Gunners keep it up over the course of the season rather than just a few patches of good performances»?

Honestly, I'd rather see AWO get the minutes than Mbia, even if it costs us a few points over the course of a season.

Let's face it, the likes of Jurgen Klopp or Pep Guardiola aren't gonna quit their respective jobs to come and save Arsenal's season, or would you rather prefer Steve Bould to take over as the interim manager?

The 22 - year - old shone for Monaco last season, leading to links with bigger clubs, and the Independent suggest he would rather move to Anfield over other potential offers.

Yes we are rivals to Tottenham but can't we just concentrate on our team and leave theirs alone, our days of celebrating our team being ahead of them in 4th rather than how we remain in 4th over the years is part of our problem now, I remember the season Leicester won the league we fans were celebrating that we came second and topped Tottenham instead of getting angry that Leicester won the league but see what happened the next season and now?

We recently ran a poll in which just over 25 % of you would rather neither Alvaro Morata or Jamie Vardy leading our attack next season, and now Liverpool's Daniel Sturridge is re-emerging as a possible target.

Mustafi of course improved with Valencia and became rather solid at the back, as he came top of the leaderboard for the most successful tackles over the course of the season during his time in Spain.

Joel Campbell The Costa Rican and his representative have been fuming over Wenger's decision to not let the 22 - year old go out on loan, for the fourth successive season, when it is rather obvious that he is «not» going to enjoy the lion's share of game time in this Arsenal squad.

I hope he doesn't play for us again this season... I would much rather play Mustafi (plays RB for GER), Coq (began his career as RB), or Gabriel at RB over this guy any day..

of course no team wants to lose but I can guarantee you that the reaction by the Chelski fans after today's results are nowhere near what would have occurred if we shit the bed on opening day... the difference is they have tasted EPL success on more than one occasion recently, they have won the Champions League and they have done it with 3 different managers in the last 12 years with a similar, if not smaller, wage bill than us... in comparison, we have been experiencing our own personal Groundhog Day with nothing to show for it but a few silvery trinkets that would barely wet the appetite of a world - class club... so it's time for Wenger to stop gloating over our week one escape act and make some substantial moves before this window closes or I fear that things will take a horrible turn when the inevitable happens... living on a knife's edge is no way to go through a full season of football and regardless of what side of the argument you fall on, you could feel high levels of toxicity in the air and that was friggin week one... I would much rather someone tried their best and failed, than took half - measures and hoped for the best

And what about running the idea that Wenger will be gone in a couple of seasons and he would rather do this by stealth to hand over something decent to his successor.

But now that the race is over and I've had some time to think about it, I reckon the rest of the season could develop rather nicely.

This is not a problem that started today but rather has been around for the last decade.To start with, everyone knew we would fall short at the secound half of the season for lack of enough depth in quality and the outcome now isn't surprising to most pple especially our rivals... wenger himself said we had enough quality to challenge in all front and even went further to say there were no players out there who cld improve us.i have said many times that half of this squad is average and can not achieve much.with klopp, mou, conte / simeone and pep around nxt season then lets see how this blemish «Angel» of our is gonna fair out.Nxt season will even get worse.for arsenal the phrase is «IT»S DEJA VU ALL OVER AGAIN»!!!

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...

It comes with doubts hanging over Alexis Sanchez, as his contract runs out at the end of the season and so Arsenal would arguably be wise to cash in during January while they can rather than lose him for nothing.

The thing that really bothers me is the thing we've disagreed on in the past and that's imo Wengers apparent lack of Urgency and decisiveness when moving into the transfer window I know that Scheweinsteiger would be a great addition but He is somewhat over the hill in comparison to the others that are being toted about and while I know that we are not the cash Rich Man Poo or Man Sh!tty or Chelski I do know that we are at a point for the first time in ten years where we don't need to replace many players or are being frced to sell the quality ones we have, we are for the first time in a spot where we only need to add two or three players and we are there in terms of being able to compete, Id hate for the financial Exuberance to stop us taking that final stride forward into the competitive team we nearly are IMO spend the money now, get the striker, get the DM and we wont need to look at transfers in a big way again for several seasons and with that in mind Id rather have the likes of Benzema or Lacazetta or even Cavanni than a nearly over the hill Scheweinsteiger.

Even if we're going to win against WBA then what??? A trophy??? watching arsenal nowdays is stressful and i wld rather occupy myself with something else... why shd you want to qualify for CL that instead of being a source of joy has been a painful humiliation for over two decades (rem olympiakos and Dinamo Zagreb this season).

I really hope this season we are consistent over 90 mins rather than just turn up in the second half like we've done alot in the past two seasons.

Today at 11:30 am - West Ham fans here in the Tavern will be happy once the season is over and they have guaranteed their Premier League status for another year following a disappointing campaign which saw them flirting with relegation rather than challenging for European football, as was expected at the London Stadium.

Yet over the past few seasons they have performed rather better than us; and this at a time when their demise has been repeatedly forecast as, time and again, players and managers have looked for a speedy exit up the M3 towards the brighter lights of London and the North West.

Jumping over a ball rather than competing with Younes Kaboul in a 0 - 0 draw with Sunderland typifies a wasted season for a player who still has an awful lot to prove.

Rather than setting up a spurt of goals over a brief period, Max has maintained a steady supply throughout the season.

If you were to peer further back through the rear - view window, however, it would not be difficult to conclude that, as unquestionably bad as last season's incomings were, they were fairly typical of West Ham's transfer dealings over the years, and that rather it was 2015 that was the exception to the rule of unspectacular recruitment.

Secondly, rather than a general overview at our squad and how it is shaping up (you can find them all over the place, I particularly liked Jimmy Gooner's) I wanted to write a more focused piece that looked at the 9 big questions I feel will define our season.

With Memphis left, Mata right and Martial moved into a more central attacking position, the Belgian would be instructed to play in a similar fashion to how he has done for Everton over the past three seasons, pulling wide (to bring Mata rather than Steven Naismith or Arouna Kone into the middle) and running forward to play as the partner to the Frenchman.

In the 6 - 0 victory over West Bromwich Albion on the season's opening day, Chelsea lined up in the same loose 4 -3-3 formation that they adopted during last season's title run - in, but with Florent Malouda playing on the left of the front three, rather than the midfield three.

Slow starts is something that we have become accustom to over the years, but recording our first win of the season has to come sooner rather than later if we harbour any aspirations of challenging the big guns at the top.

Basically, DC training was designed to be used by seasoned, experienced bodybuilders (just search for some of the trainees that use it), to help them gain significant amounts of size and strength over prolonged periods of time (years rather than months).

Rather than debating the merits of acai berries over goji berries, I prefer to look at what's in season, and work with the nutritional workhorses that I can get here and now.

I tend to ease into the seasons anyway, so I like to start out with just a few touches, rather than changing over the entire house from top to bottom.

I'm a bit relieved it's already April, that means all the household birthdays are over for the year (Nick was January 7th, Jacob was February 17th an I was March 22nd) but it also means tax season is almost over and I'll have more time and can take PTO days again for my enjoyment rather than because Jacob or myself were sick.

This is mainly because I am married to someone who has very similar taste in television... so, there's no fighting over the remote, we can binge watch an entire season of a show on a Sunday and not get mad at each other... but actually be rather pleased with how we spent our day of rest.
