team football.
While just a few days ago there were reports in the media suggesting that the Gunners had all but snapped up the 28 - year old
team mate of our star man Alexis Sanchez, it now
seems that the

More important, the
team and its coach
seemed to fit well into a university whose president, the Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, has been striving mightily to raise academic standards, gain prestige and place
football in its proper status in university affairs: an important but not domineering force.
I knew Sundays result before we played and if you look at the
team Wenger has no tactics if you are going play subs why 5/10 mins before the end it
seems he is always looking for excuses and Miracles not playing basic

The great thing about
football is there are so many leagues and
teams and quality available, if your

Nervous start — usual criticism at the beginning of the season, with the lack of spending Ramsey's first blood — Arsenal shocked the league, we played brilliant
football, scoring beautiful goals, all
seemed like a decent season for us Coq red card — injury crisis struck, the lack of bench depth put pressure on the
team, the downfall of performance caused crucial points Alexis» goal when down to ten men - it all
seemed like arsenal would lose out in the title race again but arsenal somehow surprised the league again, saying aye we got the quality but we just ai nt gonna show in week in week out Draw in NLD with 10 men — can't really complain about it but you ain't happy.
Campbell
seems to be going to Palermo Rosicky should go somewhere for his sake to play some
football Flamini should go anywhere but here Hayden, Biyelik, Zelalem, Gnabry and Akpom all look to be on our first
team according to Arsenal.com and they can all use a loan spell to get some games under their belts.
Plenty of
teams would love to take him on and it would give him a platform of consistent first
team football, something he
seems incapable of earning with us.
Another problem I have with Low is the fact that national
team football and club
football are two completely different things, but he is managing a country that demands success on national
football so I might be wrong, but it just
seems difficult to get him and the club needs massive rebuilding in the summer if we are to move further up than 6th next year.

seem to get it that, the capture of mbappe if it happens, is more than just strengthening of the
team but also a seismic shift on a psychological level in the
football market..

football team lifting the World Cup.
This year it
seems that college
football teams have been stepping up their recruiting tactics and overloading recruits with more letters than ever before.
In other news, our
team seems to be rounding nicely into form, with a productive off - season and several new additions already settling in, there
seems to be a renewed sense of confidence in the air... our well - oiled machine has conducted business again early this year, so we can just sit back, kick our feet up and watch all those other suckers scramble to make panic moves in the 11th hour... of course, we need to tie up a few loose ends but our
team of savvy negotiators, under the tutelage of our faithful leader, will perform their usual magic with ample time to spare... I have to laugh when I look around the soccer world and see all those
teams look upon us with envy and scorn as they struggle to mimic our seemingly infallible business model... thank goodness the powers that be had the foresight and fortitude to resist the temptations of the modern
football era... instead of listening to all the experts and simply taking the easy way out by making the necessary improvements on the field and in the front office, we chose the path never traveled... we are truly pioneers in our field... sometimes you just have to have faith in the people that have always conducted themselves in a respectful and honest fashion... most fans aren't so fortunate, they will never know what it's like to follow a
team that treats everyone in and around the club as if they were an extended member of the family... all for one I say... so when you wake up this morning, please try not to gloat when you see rival fans pacing back and forth waiting for their respective
teams to pull the usual panic buys, just say nothing and be thankful that it isn't you... like I've always said, this is why you stay the course... this is when the real benefits of having someone in charge for over 2 decades really pays off... have a great day fellow Gunners
I would say not for a player of Gibbs» ability, even though he has not played too much first
team football for us in the last year or so and has dropped out of the reckoning for the England national
team, but it
seems to be too much for Watford, who the Daily Mail is reporting have given up on the transfer of Gibbs because of the price.
The only
teams Arsenal can do business with now are these kind of
teams with lesser financial muscle, appear, CL
football and appear to some extent, good luck to waiting for bigger
teams to get tired of a player offering them,
seems to be the norm at the club now.
NOW what makes it different this year is that
seems WENGER lost control of some of his players unfortunately
seems that from our best player, finally some factions inside the
team got fed up with the complacency WENGER shows to his favorites and blatantly leaving in form players rot in the bench and eventually some of them given permanently in loan (Campbell), citing Campbell, every little opportunity he got he showed more desire than most of our regulars never mind he is a good
footballer....
I would argue our style of play encourages injuries, because we often
seem to play desperate
football due to going behind in games or
teams dominating us mentally.
On a
team that has played truly horrible
football for the better part of 6 months it would make little sense to me that what keeps Rugani on the bench are his distribution skills which
seem to have improved since he came here from Empoli, a
team that played the ball better than we do.
We cant blame the players, it's true some of them underperform, with a Manager as Simeone they would not be in the first
team, and that is how you manage a
Football Club; the reason why we can not think of beating the so called Giants, is because our Manager is obsolete, his past glories are long gone and is unable better said UNWILLING to change his ways; while he manages our
team we can not dream and settle as it
seems you have.
Let's get real here.It is very unlikely that ANY professional player will ever say anything derogatory about a teammate that has just left the club.If Jack had said about Coq - «Grew up playing with him in the Youth
Team and have fond memories of a player they though he had very limited ability he always gave his all.Very surprised and disappointed the club never invested in a World Class defensive midfielder that we have quite obviously been lacking for a number of seasons and would no doubt have improved the defensive weakness we have shown over a number of seasons» we would have echoed his thoughts entirely.If he had said about Theo - «A player who should have been so much better than he ended up being.He had everything needed to be a prolific player for our club but I can understand the fans frustrations with his continued lack - lustre performances and total lack of a
football brain.I think this is best explained by the managers preference to play a player of such limited ability as Alex Iwobi in front of Theo pretty much says it all» we again would have all nodded our agreement.Although Jack never mentioned Alexis Sanchez I would imagine something along the lines of «If the Manager had not persisted with players with such limited ability such as Francis and Theo and instead bought the world class players needed into the club then Sanchez would still most likely be here.The fans must wonder what the hell goes on at the club as they pay fortunes for the privalage of following our club but it
seems the millions generated ends up purchasing a new Texas Ranch for the Owner or in a yearly renumeration of # 9million pounds to our manager».
The consensus among Arsenal fans and the
football media
seems to be that the Gunners have two key transfers to make in January in order to turn us from nearly men and from a top four club into a
team which could actually mount a serious challenge on the Premier League and Champions League.
Auburn coach Pat Dye's list of concerns for spring practice
seemed normal enough: 1) Find a quarterback to run his read - and - react wishbone attack; 2) Replace placekicker Al Del Greco; 3) Hope that consensus All - America halfback Bo Jackson (page 134), who had skipped spring
football to take a run at making the Olympic track
team, didn't catch terminal tetanus from a cinder burn.
And the
football gods
seem to dislike overly stacked
teams..
Six years on from that loan spell and Wilshere has only made 80 Premier League starts for Arsenal and so with the addition of Xhaka as well as competition for places in midfield, it
seems that Wenger feels it is best he gets first
team football elsewhere.
I think welbeck can only get better with the players around him (because he is a
team player) and we have already seen his growth progress, Balotelli on the other hand
seems only focus on his bad boy image on and off the field, which stifles his
football potential.
Football is a
team game and he now
seems to be having a detrimental effect on the
team dynamics.
We on the other hand
seem to have an infrastructure based on business alone without suffecient investment in creating a winning
football team (and I don't mean just buying the occasional landmark signing).
However it
seems that the Turkish star is already looking to leave after realising that he int going to get first
team football with the front three of Neymar, Suarez and Messi ahead of him (bit obvious really).
And the fact that we are going to play the same
team that we beat in the Wembley final of 2014 just
seems to suggest that the Gunners are destined to make history in the oldest competition in
football.
It
seems Roma offering Manolas first
team football, wenger can't and won't give a guarantee, reports in Greece saying he's opted for Italy
Tipped as the «future of Polish
football», Milik's style of play mimics fellow Polish international and Bayern Munich goal machine Robert Lewandowski, incredible lay off play, disgusting left foot (I mean this in the positive sense, he literally looks like he would break the net whenever he shoots) and at 22
seems to be developing at a staggering rate, having made his international debut at the Euro championships, and featured in quite a few games at that, has attracted the attention of a few clubs in Europe needing a Centre forward, as he appears ready to take centre stage in one of Europes top
teams.
Coach Casey Taylor and his Del Oro - Loomis
football team has been playing elimination
football since October, so it
seemed quite fitting that the Golden Eagles would make the most of the 300 - mile trip to Bakersfield with a shot at a state title game on the line.
NCAAF — College
football is right around the corner and there are a few
teams that bettors
seem confident on:
Despite Arsenal's interest in the Spanish international, it
seems he would favour a move to Merseyside, perhaps with the first -
team football he craves more likely there than at the Emirates Stadium, where manager Arsene Wenger has a whole host of talented attacking players to choose from already.
It
seems clear to me that every time Mourinho comes up with one of these attacks, on Wenger, Arsenal, officials, other
teams, his own players, the medical staff or whoever is in the firing line, it distracts the
football media from some other problem.
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
There is a quite widely held theory in the
football world that Arsenal have become a
team that just can not
seem to produce our best performances when it really matters and there is evidence that the proponents of this theory can point to for support, most recently the slips against the likes of Swansea and Man United that effectively ended our chances of the Premier League title.
Much respect to Van Gaal and his Man Utd
team today, for coming out to play
football, and the ref who
seemed fair today.
He is an ungrateful little s.o.b. who hasn't the skill to play in the position he prefers for a really top
team, but
seems to think that he's god's gift to
football.
