The way he could change a pitcher's entire career with 1 pitch deep dives and his dedication to the minor leagues with player interviews (I'm still a part of the «Gomber Pyle» fan club) got me so focused on baseball minutia you could have swore he miscounted my Ritalin.

Some fans are mentioning Chambers as a potential DM in important fixtures... The boy just arrived at Arsenal and he is already a big part of the squad (3 possible positions)... Just to say that a 19yo is a major piece of our team, it says a lot about the ambition and the status of the club (and this is a talented player who was not a first team regular at Southampton, but that is not a problem... If he is good he is good).

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 (and many other arsenal fans) obviously fail to see what was done in the past ten years — current success was conciously forfeited, as it allowed for investment, which made Arsenal part of the elite club in England AND world despite lack of oil investment.

But Jenkinson being a fan of the club recognises the hard work he's going to have to put in to be a regular part of this side.

3 thumbs down for accurate reporting... the world of fake news well and truly part of the wenger fan club

Arsenal Football club is a big part of many fans lives going back for generations but we are now stiuck with an owner that wants to bleed us dry and a manager who has a job for life as long as he is making his overlord money.

For all of the Arsenal fans that were hoping to see the club part company with our long serving manager Arsene Wenger at the end of this season this will not come as good news.

At footballs top level fans don't run football clubs, they don't form large parts of the decision making process.

That is for the club to be, simply, a club and for the fans to be part of it.

part of that is an owner and board who put their profits way above the performance of the team but it is also a manager who conforms to the wishes of the board (and for all I know may have an ownership stake as well) by putting their short term interests above the long term performance of the team as a result the team itself has become corrupted by the regime through insufficient investment in upgrading the team (all the more damaging as the environment in which the team operates has become increasingly competitive) with ocassional panic acquisitions to meet minimal (but ever diminishing) performance targets to keep fans on board the result is a massively unbalanced team of overpaid compliant players who have been around for too long, inexperienced (and also overpaid) young players who have not cost the club much (or anything) and small islands of quality players..

Some of the recent Arsenal transfer rumours have linked Ozil with a transfer to the Turkish club Besiktas but Wenger made it clear that he was a key part of the Gunners team and also reassured fans that the player did not want to leave.

The fact that the team on the pitch lost a two goal lead after the mass exodus will have helped to get the club - s top brass to take notice and this is just a part of a growing backlash from football fans.

«It has been a pleasure to play for the Jets and represent my home region of Northern NSW, I have enjoyed being part of the team and appreciate the support of the fans and everyone at the club,» Gallaway said.

It speaks volumes about the Dutchman's cachet among the Arsenal fans that he remains a part of the club's culture, embedded in the surrounds of their 60,000 - seater stadium; their former striker acts as a constant reminder of the net - shaking riches that once sat in their goal - frame bank account.

If he does that I sincerely hope the fans can make the remainder of the season a fitting ode to a man who gave a large part of his life and his heart to this club, irrespective of success or not.

The other part of your post regarding Usmanov selling his shares could come true, if he feels there is no point in hanging around if he thinks there is no chance of him getting on the Board of Directors at Arsenal or take overall control, the only reason he will stick around is because he is a fan of the club, not just a very rich man trying to squeeze very penny from the club to prop up his other franchises.

ARSENAL football club are in top 3 in history to win the most titles in the english league we was successful before wenger im sorry but 2 titles in 18 years is simply not good enough and in his 2nd part of his reign we as fans have had to endure some of the most embarrassing moments both on and off the pitch.

What the decision to allow Wimbledon to move demonstrated was that, in any clash between the fans of a club and the owners of the club, the FA will take the part of the owners.

there is some suggestion that wenger is backtracking on his fervent stance regarding what players would be staying at the club for the remainder of the season... some might deduce that this is all part of a much bigger, more elaborate plan... by shifting the blame wenger is attempting to, not so slyly, flip the narrative... by doing so he hopes to evoke empathy from his most ardent supporters, while attempting to rally any fence - sitters, whose faith was waning unless a more legitimate agent of blame emerges... unfortunately, and incredibly insulting to the fans, when wenger attempts to spin a tale and / or tries to eat his own words, he doesn't seem to play it all the way through in his head, so invariably gaping holes emerge... say we believed his version of the truth, would that not make him either an incredibly well - paid custodian of destruction or a spineless jellyfish because what manager worth his weight in salt would stay at a club that didn't give him final say after 20 years of supposed «success»... no matter the answer, neither bodes well for us... how ironic, in a way, since many pundits claim this team has lacked a «spine» for some years now... so whether we win, lose or draw on Sunday is frankly immaterial, as the problems will remain, and although it will be easier to digest if we left the Pool with 3 points, it might just be the worst result for the betterment of this club... a fact that both breaks my heart and baffles the mind

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

Along with «let's just support the players» it's part of a weird cultish mindset that has arsenal fans a bit like scientologists with wenger the L Ron Hubbard of football management... Everyone is a supporter of the club... Beyond that it's about the performance and results....

(3) this team is rotting from the inside out and it's going to take some unprecedented moves on the part of this board and the fans to facilitate the necessary changes... this club must rid itself of it's absentee billionaire landlord before we become just another sporting wasteland in this man's collection of flailing clubs... when this is done it will expose just what exactly has been going on behind the scenes and I'm afraid of what will be uncovered because if Wenger's business model is as antiquated as his football philosophy it could look an awful lot like and old Monty Python sketch in the backroom... we need to replace the owner with someone who actually cares about this club and isn't afraid to wear their emotions on his or her sleeves or spend their own money to achieve greatness... this new owner needs to find someone who represents the same sort of cutting edge that Wenger represented in his early years then pair that individual with someone who knows how to conduct transfers in the modern era... then and only then will we find a way to escape the malaise that has permeated our once storied club for way too many years

I don't think that you will find many Arsenal fans to disagree with Arsene Wenger about what he said on the subject of the summer transfer window, or at least not with the part about the sort of quality he wants to bring in to the club before the end of next season anyway.

Thats a common misunderstanding among the fans here... wenger also wanted hazard, messi, ronaldo, rooney, cech in 2003, suarez etc just to name a few but where are they now?????... wenger only bought ozil and sanchez because they were no longer needed at their clubs and to be honest those clubs got the better part of the deal... madrid won the cl after selling ozil, then a year later barca won a treble after selling sanchez to us... these clubs know exactly what they need and are ready to uproot anything that would hamper their success... if wenger's gamble doesn't bear fruits these season, then boy we will be in for a rude shock... but its a fact that any club that will sell us their star will win the champions league next season

His work is what makes the club attractive to fans overseas, while his work has meant that young starts today grew up on Arsenal and want to be part of it today, if the price is right.

bad news that are good for arsenal fans coz it means we may have a break of seeing favouritism for at least the remaining part of the season... otherwise «set back» is being used at arsenal more than at any other futbal club, why.?

To subject the fans to that embarrassment, after we have paid over a good proportion of our income to support our club, and then to start quibbling over a small amount for the part solution, which in all honesty should've been done two months ago... the same penny pinching that was key to the catastrophic shambles on Sunday... unbelievable is an extreme understatement.
