Even
in Shakespeare's
play, «The Merchant of Venice,» written more than 400
years ago, the character Antonio demonstrates his understanding of the concept when he says: «I thank my fortune for it — my ventures are not
in one bottom trusted, nor to one place, nor is my
whole estate upon the fortune of this present
year.»
Thirty
years later, Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee set what they saw as the essence of the
whole extraordinary episode
in their
play Inherit the Wind, which has since become a classic of the American theater.
Ive been supporting Arsenal for 65
years to say im dissapointed, well words fail me Why did we let the window slip by and not do the business
in the begining get
in quick and get our players signed and out as well but NO we buggered about with the DREAMER for 6 weeks dithering with expensive so called talent and what we get another Frenchman, soon we will be able to say we have the
whole french international team here The way to go is to boycott the home games and make it known the fans run the club not the useless manager or the lackluster board who do nt know who
plays for us and are not interested
in football per say just the money Buy Kroenke out and let him go as well
The 20
year - old only hit the first team last season but has already made 13 appearances for his club, after
playing 18 times
in the
whole of last season, and has already
played for the Turkey national side four times.
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
Secondly, Arsenal's defeat to Nottingham Forest
in the FA Cup could work
in our favour as we are now out of the Cup we won last
year, whereas the Spuds have to
play Newport tonight (Wednesday)
in an FA Cup replay, while our players can have a
whole week to recuperate (and celebrate) after the destruction of Everton on Saturday.
Akpom has never, to my knowledge, given any hint about which country he would prefer to
play for, but I personally can't see Wenger encouraging his players to join any country that wants to take away his best players for a
whole month during the season, every two
years, to
play in the African Cup of Nations....
Steven your correct mustafi was back pedaling eyes on ball aguero had feet planted with no attempt or even looking at the ball he intentionally interfered with that space and it gets called all
year its a clear foul if he trys for a header or makes an attempt for the ball then it is legal bit that was illegal you cant plant your feet make no attempt to
play or battle fpr ball and just put your shoulder into back of a backpedaling defender but honestly the officiating across the
whole league this
year has been an embarrassment to professional officials of all sports its been bad game after game they need a real looking after and more training
in off season
Come the other
year when Arsenal went the
whole season without a defeat
in the Premier League, Barcelona were attracted by Marc Overmas and Emmanue Petti, the two joined Barcelona, they
played few games, and sometime on the bench, as a result Emmanue Petti decided to go back to England and joined New - Castle and always regret leaving Arsenal, then the other
year it was Alexander Hleb, he was the best dribller
in Arsenal team, he went again to Barcelona, he was never given some games, I think he only
played few games as a sub, and his carrier was destroyed by Barcelona, then come Henry, he again went to Barcelona, he
played some games but not like he used to do at Arsenal, he was not looking like a star player anymore, he decided to go to America, then there was Fabrigas, he joined Barcelona again, since he was one of their juniors, I think he
played for two seasons, and supporter used to booing him, he decided to come back to Arsenal, by then Arsenal had already resplaced him with Ozil, and he joined Chelsea, then come Alexander Song, he pushed to go to Barcelona, he was always on the banch, and never been on first eleven, then he ended up regreting joing Barcelona, and wanted to go back to Arsenal, but normally Wenger do not take players who pushed themselves to be out of Arsenal, lastly there was Vermuleen, he went to Barcelona and ended up not
playing at all but when
playing for Arsenal they used to be star players.
After carrying the ball a
whole lot for the Dallas Cowboys two
years ago, some have said Murray doesn't have a lot of life left
in those knees, but you wouldn't know it watching him literally jump over another professional football -
playing human being.
But since most of the games I watched were early on
in the
year and he
played the
whole season, I can't just assume that the hip was the root of any of his problems that I saw on tape.
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'

Contra Dyke, they concluded that «the proportion, or total amount, of minutes
played five, or ten,
years ago by English players
in the Premier League, is unrelated to international performance,» and that «neither Italy, Spain, Germany or England seems to do any better when their citizens are
playing more total minutes, across the top four leagues as a
whole».
Not to skip the subject, but its not too much of a deviation, i watched the Toulon tournament where England
played Guinea,
in the last 25 minutes the center halves pairing was Chambers / Holding and i said wow this could be arsenal pairing
in a couple of
years, Holding who
played the
whole game looked about 2 inches taller than Chambers, looked to have good pace and technical skills, i hope we buy him because its an area arsenal does not
play attention.
Our best player this
year Alexis, just
played 90 mins vs the worst away team
in the
whole of Europe.
When we failed to extend their contracts, he astonished the
whole world by claiming it was the perfect situation to have them
play in their last
year of contract.
Henry wasn't deployed solely
in the centre - forward role during his time
in the principality,
playing across the
whole front - line and manages his best season
in 1996/97 with nine goals
in 36 games
in the French league and was Young Player of the
Year.
Good article states many reasonable conclusions and facts about the season and how amongst all the turmoil we have a manger who does well but one thing
in purchases over the last five
years we are 6th
in the epl were at 366m tottenham
in 5th with 397m and he made a mistake there we are 6thin money spent on players but we have had the sanchez saga and new players adjusting to epl and the team and injuries and it definitely hasnt been our
year in ref decisions which have
played a factor
in games though we still should have won aside from ref but watford and westbrom many other games are included at city free offside goal weak penalty and at spurs we were robbed of going one nil up auba onside bu honestly the officiating across the
whole league this
year has been an embarrassment to professional officials of all sports its been bad game after game they need to get some rigorous training this offseason for improvement
I mean Christ Danny Welbeck was let go for just slightly less than lucas Perez and Wenger wasn't even
in the country when he was bought
in, what does that tell you about the club and its ambitions????? if you added up the money spent on oriental and Japanese players who we NEVER see
play in an arsenal shirt over the last ten
years, we could have brought
in half the Barcelona side including Messi so you tell me what THATS all about??? its a disgrace, and Giroud acting like a football god because he scored and equalizer really just epitomises the
whole messed up attitude and THAT starts with Wenger and his «its not my fault it was the ref» attitude its stinks
Tear the
whole fucking thing down, build a new smaller stadium
in the same spot, while we
play at M & T for two
years
The Spanish international had spent his
whole career with the club until leaving for Stamford Bridge this summer, and was a key part of the team's success over the last seven
years, even if he
played less often
in his final season.
Are you really naive enough to believe that Wenger would bring anyone into this current locker room that is going to be given a strong voice... have you not been watching, listening or reading about our club for
years... Lehman is a blind Wenger follower, which is the only reason he was even considered... just for a second think of all the strong personalities that have
played for this club that have never been seriously considered even though they have expressed legitimate interest
in participating
in the coaching process... even worse, think of all the former greats who aren't even allowed on the same pitch as Wenger because they have offered their advice and / or criticism to the infallible one... I dare you to find a manager that has distanced himself from his former players as much as this man... it's the very reason why only one player I can think of has ever returned to
play for Wenger and that was Flamini, which was hilarious considering we were desperately looking for a top quality defensive midfielder but Wenger could somehow find no one better than Flamini
in the
whole wide world... let's face it this club was simply trying to appease it's disgruntled fans by declaring that Wenger would no longer be given Ca rte Blanche when it came to the backroom staff so they probably asked him to give them a list of those who he would allow
in the locker room... on that list he wrote Lehman, Pires and Bergkamp, likely because the first two are the only former players who haven't publicly questioned his horrible decision - making and the last one because he won't get
in an airplane
Completely ignoring the fact that Ramsey has just returned from injury and that the
whole Arsenal team
played badly, the 23 -
year old was blamed for the way Arsenal drew and then lost against Anderlecht and then Swansea City after being
in the lead.
It's like the
whole move of Petr Cech is what has caused Chelskis's downfall... Well hang on a second, we sold them Cashley and Cesc, who undoubtedly gave the EPL title last season, Cech was on their bench, not being
played, wanted to get out because his international career was at risk, wanted to stay
in London and only had a
year left on his contract.
Both Gunners are entering the prime
years of their
playing career and the fact that both are also enjoying their best form will not be lost on them and neither will the fact that the
whole team looks
in the best shape ever for a proper tilt at the title.
We are not
in a position to offer regular football for any of these players and once they
play one
whole year with teams on the lower side they'll improve like to optimum and we'll be have ready made replacement for the ageing Per, Koscielny, Santi.
Yarmolenko has
played in UKRAINE his
whole life and is a wide player, teixera a Brazilian from Ukraine whose had 1.5 good
years is someone we can count on?
Converting from an attacking position, Ashley Cole, during his
years at Arsenal,
played in the Left - Back position for almost his
whole career.
True, he couldn't get it done vs. SC & Bama
in «16, when our OL was just overrun, and I don't know WHAT the hell kind of weird food poisoning the
whole team (coaches included) got into before ASU last
year, but if we're talking only 3 losses over two
years attributable to «bad, or non-clutch QB
play» — if you want to call it that, then is that really such a «bad» track record?
I think if Elliott had
played the
whole year those 3 teams would have been 3 for 3
in making the playoffs.
Picture this, we don't come out of the gate firing on all cylinders, Wenger speaks of how there wasn't enough time for the first - teamers to build chemistry, several key players aren't even
playing because of Wenger's utterly ridiculous policy regarding players who
played in the Confed Cup or the under21s and the boo - birds have returned
in full flight... if these things were to happen, which is quite possible considering the Groundhog Day mentality of this club, how long do you think it will take for Wenger to recant his earlier statements regarding Europa... I would suggest that it's these sorts of comments from Wenger which are often his undoing... why would any manager worth his weight
in salt make such a definitive statement before the season has even started... why would any manager who fashions himself an educated man make such pronouncements before even knowing what his starting 11 will be come Friday, let alone on September 1st... why would any manager who has a tenuous relationship with a great many supporters offer up such a potentially contentious talking point considering how many times his own words have come back to bite him
in the ass... I think he does this because he doesn't care what you or I think,
in fact he's more than slightly infuriated by the very idea of having to answer to the likes of you and me... that might have been acceptable during his formative
years in charge, when the fans were rewarded with an scintillating brand of football and success felt like a forgone conclusion, but this new Wenger led team barely resembles that team of ore... whereas
in times past we relished a few words from our seemingly cerebral manager,
in recent times those words have been replaced by a myriad of excuses, a plethora of infuriating stories about who he could have signed but didn't and what can only be construed as outright fabrications... it's kind of funny that when we want some answers, like during the
whole contract debacle of last season, we can't get an intelligent word out of him, but when we just what him to show his managerial acumen through his actions, we can't seem to get him to shut - up... I beg you to prove me wrong Arsene
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...
Ramsey
played RW
whole of last
year and Arsenal won most points
in 2015, but that doesn't mean anything right?

Essentially the kids who starting
playing sports during the five to ten
years after the Colts left could care less about the NFL, it wasn't covered
in the media that much, and football as a

Each of his introductions gives the
whole thing the air of one of those moralistic little
