stages that can scale from 20 members

Honestly, any of the match - ups with the
teams we have right now are going
to be really fun
to watch, because they've all proven themselves
to get to this
stage.
Michal Kauffman writes: By
Stage 4, in addition
to the panic the company may be feeling as a whole, all sorts of competing interests come out of the woodwork when it comes time
to actually move forward with significant investments and real money: from the European tech
team that is jazzed about the acquisition,
to the U.S. tech
team that's threatened by it,
to the corporate VC
team that hates it because it will undermine a competing investment in their portfolio,
to the Services Division as a whole worried about their jobs if the acquisition goes through and much of their work
gets automated, etc....
Hamilton and her staff — she now has a full
team that includes Kimberlin as a venture partner — don't expect
to see any returns on their investments within the next five years, so in the meantime, it's important that they, like many other top VC firms, help these founders
get to the next
stage.

team that ends up being a good investment for them as well.»

We are at the
stage now where we can afford
to find good loan deals for our kids and give them the experience they need
to step up IF they are not grabbing their chances like Bellerin and Iwobi did
to get into the 1st
team.
Like Seattle earlier in the day, this is a
team that needs
to get a cornerback or two this draft, but the value just isn't there at this
stage.
But he must be disappointed with his lack of game time in the latter
stages and it looks like he will find it just as hard
to get into the
team ahead of Debuchy and Bellerin next time.
It does look like these pundits feel they must say something controversial now and then just
to get headlines and for some reason they find our great club the ideal candidate for bashing, manu last sesason, liv nearly every year, spu every year, manc just recently... you would think that the pundits faces would be purple at this
stage with so much
to belittle on that lot but no Arsenal is the
team that some just love
to hate.
Wish we had of
got knocked out of our group, Europa this season looked easy compared
to Seville, and when Zenit and Leverkusen were still good, also a couple Italian
teams like Napoli Fiorentina Roma, or a Porto, but these latter
stages kept
getting sh*t tier and sh*t tier.

Both
teams have done incredibly well
to get to this
stage and are sure
to fancy their chances of taking this first game and an all - important lead in the series.
For the club it might be,
getting eay
teams so we
get the extra money for going through
to the knockout
stages.
I'm gonna rely on the other
teams in our group
to get us
to the knock out
stages.
Even then, Everton away is definitely one of the hardest games of the season and we Wenger will have
to manage the
team so that we can
get the result against Everton as well as having enough energy
to beat Besiktas at home
to qualify for the group
stages of the Champions League.
Simply put — we have good players who could achieve semi or final status but we have a manager who will keep us fighting
to get out of group
stages if we come up against a
team who are even half decent.
One thing you cab be sure of though if he's sold
to a premier league
team he will come back
to haunt us at some
stage as he still has blistering pace when he
gets back
to somewhere near his previous form.
When it
gets to the latter
stages, every
team plays their strongest 11 in the FA Cup.
Cup matches really aren't enough, it's great
to see players in the u21's given a go, but it
gets to the
stage where you need competitive first -
team action on a weekly basis against men not boys.
Make no mistake that's where I want Arsenal
to reach, but we need
to walk before we run — let's
get a
team that can dominate England before we talk European
stages.
Arsenal was given one of the weakest
team in this CL competition.Everybody expected a win, like by big margin but the whole match there was no fight and desire.The game was so poor at all front last night.City and Man Utd played their hearts out even though they were defeated.Man Utd players witnessed a horrific injury
to their
team mate, that will affect their focus and rhythm but they fought with desire
to win the game till the end.City were the better
team than Juventus, they played really good.I have even read an article on Sky that states even though Man utd and City is defeated they still can qualify the group
stage, thats how their performance were reassuring.But Arsenal were really poor from starting the game till end.Zagreb
got their first win in CL since 1999, that says it all.
Answer me this: does a
team that screwed up their CL group
stage to finish 2nd,
got embarrassed in the CL last 16,
got sent packing in the Carling Cup at HOME, bottled 2nd place in the league with 4 games remaining, and finished 12 points behind the domestic champions have everything in place squadwise
to compete on all fronts?
Whilst JM doesn't think this game is anything
to go by, Wenger must try and
get one over him at this
stage as it will psychologically do no harm
to team spirits going into the new season the following week!
As an Arsenal Fan, I hate it when we wish for the
team to get knocked out from the champs league group
stage or lose out in that Top 4 in the league but thats what Wenger has turned some of us into,....
While it will be good if our youngsters and fringe players can
get the
team to a
stage where the Europa league can be taken more seriously, it will not be the greatest disappointment even if they do not.
This is the
stage where all the big
teams get involved, but if you're also jumping into the competition at this
stage, there's no need
to worry.
Not sure how much
teams get in the Europa League but the new BT deal come in next season so your probably talking 10m + easily if they
get to the last 32 (an extra knockout
stage in the Europa league).
I think the group
stages and first few rounds are a joke playing
teams in eastern Europe etc. but once it
gets to the R16 it
gets serious and the
teams are good.
If we finish 3rd in the group and go into Europey league, I would like us
to recall some of our loan players and let them have a go at trying
to get us
to the final
stages, saving our first
team for the league assault.
theres no point in letting the CL hinder us in the premier league just
to get knocked out in the last 16, we can concentrate on that when our
team actually has the experience, drive and passion
to get through that
stage.
If we sign for arguments sake the best DM money could buy, why would Coquelin, Ramsey and Wilshere who all have the talent
to justifiably lock down a spot in a top -
teams first XI, why would they want
to stay on not
getting first -
team opportunities when they're at crucial
stages of their development?
«Both
teams have
got a good chance
to go through
to the knockout
stages.
And even if we overcame these lesser clubs we still have the proper top tier
teams to get past who we have no divine right
to be beating on a regular basis — and as many of the Arsenal detractors will tell you finishing 2nd in the UCL is ultimately no better than going out in the group
stages, your trophy cabinet ain't gonna look any different.
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
While
getting ready
to stage a fierce Olympic swimming match, Australia also built a
team strong enough
to keep most of the gold medals at home
And with the English version already being used as an experiment by the bigger
teams to test younger players or
to give fringe members a game, at least until the latter
stages where managers realise they have the chance
to get their hands on some silverware, it could be seen as an even bigger waste of time.
Whereas Arsenal, having
to play only second or third tier European clubs, will be quite happy
to send over there reserves and youth players for 90 % of the Thursday games, perhaps even until we
get to the quarter - final
stage at least when we may face an occasional quality
team.
Doubt this
team would
get out of the group
stages of the EPL... The ostrich is taking the club for a ride already... Can add his idiot football brain
to death and taxes
There is no doubt that Bale needs
to get the hell out of Real if he ever wants
to be the kind of player he once was... this isn't
to suggest that he his skills have diminished, he simply isn't the fiery, determined and aggressive player that struck fear in the hearts of his opponents... the small fish in a big pond just doesn't fit his profile... I can't even remember the last player I've seen who has become so invisible on the big
stage (maybe Pogba last year)... maybe it's a case of culture shock or maybe he wasn't able
to handle the notoriety that invariably came with his big money signing, but regardless of how it happened this guy is a shadow of his former self... although I doubt he would ever come
to a
team in such disarray, he could quite easily fill the shoes of Sanchez, who ironically was in a similar predicament in Barcelona, as Bale would return
to his favoured left side and would be given the same freedoms that have allowed Sanchez
to flourish... ultimately I think the cache of wearing a Real jersey and competing for the top trophies would be too difficult
to give up for a wannabe club run by suits who care little about those kinds of accolades
I think the pressure may have
gotten to Iwobi a little last season because even though he had a great first couple of games for the club, in the latter
stages of last season, his form did dip a little and he wasn't having the same impact in the
team as he did beforehand.
Going out of a European competition has become the norm for us and we Gooners have
gotten painfully accustomed
to our
team messing things up in the knockout
stages, but not many expected it from the mighty Barcelona, especially with a big lead from the first leg.
Secondly we need
to look at replacements if we were
to sell him and at this late in
stage of the transfer window, who can we
get that is world class and in which the opposition
team is willing
to sell, considering the other
team also need
to reinforce?
We can only be grateful those league's
teams removed our players obligations
to take part in the closing
stages of the Champions League or we may have been struggling
to get bodies onto the plane.
Brady said, «I think it's going
to be a season where we won't threaten
to the top four, and I think it's going
to be a season where
getting into the Champions League relies on the Europa League, where we would have a chance of winning it when we
get into the latter
stages and he [Wenger] puts his best
team out.
