Well yes, I've said that because the cold season offers less options
than other seasons do when it comes to highlight your outfits and your creativity on making various combinations.

I know that rhubarb is currently in
season, but I've never purchased rhubarb, and didn't know what to
do with it (
other than make strawberry rhubarb pie).
Some varietals
do better in cooler weather
than others and some take to heat and humidity so our planting schedule varies somewhat with the
seasons.
In late January, eating anything cold (
other than ice cream, of course) just seems so counterproductive, but getting through an entire
season sans salad doesn't really seem plausible either.
Yes, you want to win every game you are part of, as you don't step out on to the pitch thinking of anything
other than three points and a win; each game has its own «consequence» — but over a 38 - game
season — one's title ambitions won't face obituary by the result of this clash between Everton and Arsenal.
West Ham just didn't turn up,
other than it being last home game of
season for them, there really isn't any reason for them to
do so.
«If «and I repeat «if «Wenger retires at the end of the
season it will not benefit the club unless there are
other changes starting in the boardroom and that is easier said
than done.
I really
do not know a great deal about this Zagreb side
other than that they
did an invincibles
season in the Croatian league last
season, so hopefully Arsenal are on the ball from the first whistle.
@well they havent been as successful as under pep but
did win treble
season before this.hope the two madrids can stop them winning for nxt few
season.but in reality, teams havent devised a formula to counter possession play
other than defensing deep which risks teams like barca having chance to keep attacking.so until teams understand how to overcome posesion, they wil probably keep getting success...
If for no
other reason
than to give Fultz some burn and experience for next
season... I don't see the downside of giving him some 9th - man minutes.
This is another stupid article,
do u knw hw many times wenger has made dis same mistake, how
does a manager with more
than 20 years of experience go into a
season wth only 2 senior CB, dis injuries are no mistake, you play the same set of players every chance and just leave the rest to rot on the bench when some players could be rested for
others and thus keeping everyone fit and happy... tactics are same every match hes just so predictable... anyway we all love wenger but he's time is up... we all know that
Waiting to hear from all the 4th place junkies... Too early in the
season to tell right the referees weather??? what f ****** more excuses
do u need
other than the one that matters
Bellerin hasn't
done anything all
season other than get a stupid looking hair cut!
Come on...
Did anyone actually believe we were in with a shot for the CL
other than the 4th place whinning junkies on this site... Take my advice get down to your local tesco express and stock up on the soup then listen to those with a modicum of knowledge about the game and a desire to see the club improve who have been saying for 5 years now that wenger was professionally incapable of delivering another title and then join the chorus of calls for his immediate departure... coz if he stays there will be nothing next
season either
I think we havent I believe the
other teams as
done poorly this
season we have 3 points more this
season than last.
This is his last
season to deliver, otherwise what is he actually
doing for the club
other than making profit for AFC?!
Roma are arguably the best placed to
do so as they have strengthened this summer to build on their impressive form under Luciano Spalletti in the second half of last
season, but ultimately it would be a huge surprise to see the title anywhere
other than Turin in May.
Haas» second
season in F1 didn't quite reach the heights of their debut year which saw a handful of top six finishes and served as a campaign in which the team firmly established itself as a key player in the midfield rather
than a new squad just there to make up the numbers, something we have been accustomed to with
other new teams in recent years.
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've always maintained my stance that Arsene Wenger loves French players in his team
than any
other players.No matter how average you are once you're French and once you're in the first team he tends to give you so many chances to prove yourself.I can start mentioning them if you want me to but I know you know them.If Lucas Perez was French he wouldn't have been out so early believe me.I just don't know where to begin.Was Giroud bought to become a super sub or to be the leading striker?Having giving us many sesons of failure people are now content with him being a so called super sub.A player like Giroud is not built for that kind of role.He ws a super sub in 99 % of those matches because he was not played when he was supposed to and we needed presence in the air.The funny thing is people are using only this
season to label him as a super sub.There were so many matched that Wenger should have started Giroud but for some reason didn't start him.I only see Arsenal as the top club who'd be crying over Giroud.If a good offer comes we should sell.
Atlanta can take advantage of that flaw better
than almost any
other team in the NBA, and they
did in their four meetings this
season.
I don't even think Wilson would play more
than 10 - 15 minutes on more
than 5
other nba teams this
season, but here he is somehow a starter..
Wilshere getting injured isn't new just how after Wenger
does not sign a capable CF for the 4th
season in a row and we finish 4th this
season you will see the SAME PEOPLE around this SAME TIME next year who said the squad was good enough, you'll see there will be no injuries if everyone stays fit so we don't need to sign players or we don't really need any striker we have Giroud (a player better
than Rooney and Henry who it is very very very very HARD to find any better player
than him and whom some fans here will discount any
other player better
than him to prove he is good enough).
I am also concerned with the fact that he had to have surgery on his hip after the
season and was not able to work out at the combine
other than do the bench press.
The losses were largely due to injuries — at one time or
other last
season 13 starters were out — but bothering Royal more
than the injuries was his concern over what losing was
doing to the team's attitude.
Talbot finished the regular
season having played more games
than any
other NHL goalie but doesn't look tired at all.
Why are we more mad at the guy who
did a better job of creating a goal scoring opportunity
than all the
other misses from the team this
season that have resulted from countless lazy, careless shots and poor positioning that had no chance at all?
Besides several teams who have questions surrounding one or possibly two players, there is no squad that has so many issues heading into the final week of the transfer window... even Monaco, who have lost numerous players from their starting 11 have less controversy swirling in and around their club and they have champion's league play to contend with this
season... just think of how ridiculous this situation is especially considering that we have had the same manager for over 20 years... no team should be better organized
than ours... if nothing else, that should be the one advantage this team holds over all
others, yet the exact opposite has occurred... this fact is even more disturbing considering the main argument against removing Wenger from his managerial position was that there was no suitable replacement and that people feared some sort of perceived drop - off if a new manager was brought into the mix... based on what we've witnessed since the time of his contract renewal a monkey with a magic eight ball could have
done an adequate job... I hate to make jokes, in light of our current dilemma, but this team is so screwed up if I don't laugh about it, the only plausible response is to either cry or
do something incredibly destructive... just look around this squad and try to see what our delusional manager sees that allow him to make such positive statements about our current team
However, there's a question abroad in the land as to whether the whole idea of the USFL's
Other Season is working any better
than Walker
did against Birmingham.
Assuming that Wenger
does agree that the 26 - year old forward who has settled right in to English football and scored 14 Premier League goals in his first
season at this level at a rate of better
than a goal every
other game, would actually improve the goal shy Arsenal attack, there would still be a few obstacles in the way of Arsenal signing him.
Futhermore, theo is different frm all our attackers, he gives us something diffrnt, he has rarely played this
season yet he has scored as many as our «hardworking ox» has scored all
season, he assists more
than any
other winger in epl, the keep talk shit abt theo tracking back, the fact is, theo doesn't need to track back, when he plays, opposing fullbacks rarely push up field becus they are scared of his pace, so that leaves our fullback one on one with their winger, now,
does our fullback need help frm theo to mark his man??? Only if that winger is Messi, Ronaldo or Robben, if they not either of those three and our fullback can not handle them, then he is not good enough for arsenal!
The only thing I can hope for is that Perez will be our main striker this
season just so I don't have to deal with an
other season of Giroud and on his youtube highlight films he looks a much better finisher
than Giroud.
@RSH what I was trying to say is that it takes more
than world class players to win you the league.In many instances the mentality factor far outweighs the quality when the team is playing on the Wenger.With Wenger I don't see us having a strong mentality.We might have even lost the battle before it is fought.Trust me there's a higher chance w» ell not win the EPL if even Wenger made all the right signings.You know why?It's not because of the so called quality of
other teams but we will be the cause of our own downfall this
season again.
I am happy we won BUT Honestly a 2 - 0 win against Sutton hasn't
done anything to convince me that we are any better
than our 5 - 1 loss to Bayern And Bayern haven't been that impressive this
season either (
other than against us)
AKB fans say that Wenger passed up joining Real Madrid at 10million but that was merely cuteness on Wenger's part he knew that one
season at 10 - 12million is no attraction in comparison to 10
seasons at 8million with no real pressure to
do anything
other than come 4th???? If Wenger tried taking that attitude to Madrid (or Chelsea) he'd be sacked by Christmas.
The boss doesn't have any
other choice
other than to start a HALTING AMBITION GUNNERS STARTS to halt any ambition the Red may be nursing to qualify for the Champions League at the expense of the Gunners winning the Barclays Premier League this
season, which is still very much on the cards.
They can drop points on Sunday but if they go until the end of the
season having lost only three games what can you say [
other than] «well
done», «congratulations», even if it's Leicester that nobody expected.
As for Ozil, pay him what he wants and make commensurate demands of him namely he is not allowed more
than two bad games a
season (and I don't mean crucial games) or else he will see the bench like any
other inconsistent player, if he wants ballon d'or salary, we need ballon d'or performances from him on a consistent basis.
This
season was the last straw He
did nt sign players this
season other than Cech and Eleny, there is no guarantee he will sign any this summer, but finishing outside the top 4 with Leicester, Spurs, City and Utd ahead of us would put lots of pressure on Wenger to sign top players (if they are willing to play one
season without CL)
Arsenal record in the first half of the
season against the Top 6 has been abysmal
other than the victory over Chelsea, so it may be a tall order to expect them to beat all our rivals, but we
do still have hope.
In comments reported on the Arsenal website the Frenchman spoke about how all of the clubs in the
other leagues around Europe treated their own cup competitions and
did not play a bunch of kids to save themselves for the league matches, even the biggest clubs like Barcelona who because of the club world cup and the Champions League will most likely play more games
than the Gunners this
season.
Miami's leadoff hitters
other than Gordon this
season have
done quite well in his absence, hitting.324 /.396 /.420, with time split at the top of the order mostly between outfielder Ichiro Suzuki (31 starts), second baseman Derek Dietrich (22 starts) and catcher J.T. Realmuto (21 starts).
He
did struggle a bit with the pace of the game last
season but he worked on his strength and fitness when recovering from injury and after that he covered more distance
than any
other Arsenal player, as reported by The Telegraph.
After all, Brees just set the all - time mark for completion percentage in a
season in 2017 at 72 percent, and he topped 4,000 passing yards for the 12th year in a row — something no
other player has
done in more
than eight consecutive
seasons.
This is an incredibly difficult question to answer for a variety of reasons, most importantly because over the years our once vaunted «beautiful» style of play has become a shadow of it's former self, only to be replaced by a less
than stellar «plug and play» mentality where players play out of position and adjustments / substitutions are rarely forthcoming before the 75th minute... if you look at our current players, very few would make sense in the traditional Wengerian system... at present, we don't have the personnel to move the ball quickly from deep - lying position, efficient one touch midfielders that can make the necessary through balls or the disciplined and pacey forwards to stretch defences into wide positions, without the aid of the backs coming up into the final 3rd, so that we can attack the defensive lanes in the same clinical fashion we
did years ago... on this current squad, we have only 1 central defender on staf, Mustafi, who seems to have any prowess in the offensive zone or who can even pass two zones through so that we can advance play quickly out of our own end (I have seen some inklings that suggest Holding might have some offensive qualities but too early to tell)... unfortunately Mustafi has a tendency to get himself in trouble when he gets overly aggressive on the ball... from our backs out wide, we've seen pace from the likes of Bellerin and Gibbs and the spirited albeit offensively stunted play of Monreal, but none of these players possess the skill - set required in the offensive zone for the new Wenger scheme which requires deft touches, timely runs to the baseline and consistent crossing, especially when Giroud was playing and his ratio of scored goals per clear chances was relatively low (better last year though)... obviously I like Bellerin's future prospects, as you can't teach pace, but I
do worry that he regressed last
season, which was obvious to Wenger because there was no way he would have used Ox as the right side wing - back so often knowing that Barcelona could come calling in the off -
season, if he thought otherwise... as for our midfielders, not a single one, minus the more confident Xhaka I watched played for the Swiss national team a couple years ago, who truly makes sense under the traditional Wenger model... Ramsey holds onto the ball too long, gives the ball away cheaply far too often and abandons his defensive responsibilities on a regular basis (doesn't score enough recently to justify): that being said, I've always thought he
does possess a little something special, unfortunately he thinks so too... Xhaka is a little too slow to ever boss the midfield and he tends to telegraph his one true strength, his long ball play: although I must admit he
did get a bit better during some points in the latter part of last
season... it always made me wonder why whenever he played with Coq Wenger always seemed to play Francis in a more advanced role on the pitch... as for Coq, he is way too reckless at the wrong times and has exhibited little offensive prowess yet finds himself in and around the box far too often... let's face it Wenger was ready to throw him in the trash heap when injuries forced him to use Francis and then he had the nerve to act like this was all part of a bigger Wenger constructed plan... he like Ramsey, Xhaka and Elneny don't offer the skills necessary to satisfy the quick transitory nature of our old offensive scheme or the stout defensive mindset needed to protect the defensive zone so that our offensive players can remain aggressive in the final third... on the front end, we have Ozil, a player of immense skill but stunted by his physical demeanor that tends to offend, the fact that he's been played out of position far too many times since arriving and that the players in front of him, minus Sanchez, make little to no sense considering what he has to offer (especially Giroud); just think about the quick counter-attack offence in Real or the space and protection he receives in the German National team's midfield, where teams couldn't afford to focus too heavily on one individual... this player was a passing «specialist» long before he arrived in North London, so only an arrogant or ignorant individual would try to reinvent the wheel and / or not surround such a talent with the necessary components... in regards to Ox, Walcott and Welbeck, although they all possess serious talents I see them in large part as headless chickens who are on the injury table too much, lack the necessary first - touch and / or lack the finishing flair to warrant their inclusion in a regular starting eleven; I would say that, of the 3, Ox showed the most upside once we went to a back 3, but even he became a bit too consumed by his pending contract talks before the
season ended and that concerned me a bit... if I had to choose one of those 3 players to stay on it would be Ox due to his potential as a plausible alternative to Bellerin in that wing - back position should we continue to use that formation... in Sanchez, we get one of the most committed skill players we've seen on this squad for some years but that could all change soon, if it hasn't already of course... strangely enough, even he doesn't make sense given the constructs of the original Wenger offensive model because he holds onto the ball too long and he will give the ball up a little too often in the offensive zone... a fact that is largely forgotten due to his infectious energy and the fact that the numbers he has achieved seem to justify the means... finally, and in many ways most crucially, Giroud, there is nothing about this team or the offensive system that Wenger has traditionally employed that would even suggest such a player would make sense as a starter... too slow, too inefficient and way too easily dispossessed... once again, I think he has some special skills and, at times, has showed some world - class qualities but he's lack of mobility is an albatross around the necks of our offence... so when you ask who would be our best starting 11, I don't have a clue because of the 5 or 6 players that truly deserve a place in this side, 1 just arrived, 3 aren't under contract beyond 2018 and the
other was just sold to Juve... man, this is theraputic because following this team is like an addiction to heroin without the benefits
Players
do have a brain afterall and what Wenger
does is encourage them to use it rather
than just instruct them like most
other managers
do, now when it all comes together, we go a whole
season unbeaten, when it fails, we go a decade without a trophy all in it is why a large number of former Wenger students and players have gone on to greater things within and beyond football, Even Guardiola took a chunk of his coaching badges under Wenger even after playing under Fergie just before hanging up his boots, Viera went on to a senior role at Man.
Let's be sensible here.Like it or not we have lost Sanchez.We are getting a vast improvement on Walcott in Mikki with (please god) Abua joining as well.Sanchez wanted to go so let's move on.I believe these 2 signings could reignite us and the credit will be with Sven and not Wenger.Soon everyone will start to give credit to Ivan Gaz as without doubt his Catylis For Change is beginning to take effect.12 months ago if we had banked the money for Coq Wally and That Chilean C *** what would we have
done with it?Sven M is influencing transfer policy now without doubt.We have no option
other than to be patient this
season and just take whatever we get from Europa League and Caro Cup.Anything above 6th in Premier League let's take as a bonus.I can't help but believe we are seeing something happening that we are nor used to.

When Samuel commented on why it was wrong to sell Lucas Perez you brought up stats between Walcott and Perez and in that you proved using the stats why Walcott is better.If Wenger didn't have blond love for some of his players then why
did he keep benching Perez when he was performing yet the average guys always got a look in the squad.So if there are stats which prove Walcott is better aren't there stats which also prove Perez is better?Think about that.You also said Perez is not as good as some of us make out.The funny thing is yesterday we had an argument on Giroud and I also tried to imply that Giroud is not as good as we make out and you opposed.You always kept bringing stats up to defend him.
Do you know if Bendtner or Chamakh had scored 25 goals for Arsenal in any
season they'd still have been regarded as average.You know why?Because quality has nothing to
do with stats and is just a kind pf talent or state.It seems to me that you think you know it all.You also denied the fact that Wenger likes French players and that if Perez was French he wouldn't have been out in one
season stating
other players as examples.It seems to me that you deny things which are clear for everyone to see.If you think you know better
than everyone go and teach Wenger how to win the trophy this
season.
After pen to paper is
done its business as usual back to 4 -5-1 Giroud up top Holding benched, come March the excuses we didn't expect Cazorla to still be out Koscielnys red card was harsh Europa league is tougher
than we expected the players are fatigued after a return to form in mid April I believe this team has unbelievable mental strength we have an fa cup final to play 18
other club would love to be in our position judge me at the end of the
season.
