Watching my team go backwards this season hurts, I've invested God knows how many thousands of pounds on season tickets and travel over the past 40 + years, plus the emotional turmoil involved to let me sit back and say nothing, the Shareholder meeting was a joke, the questions were obviously selected by the board to make life easy for them, none of the real issues were addressed, just a lot of soft soaping for the hard of thinking.

So I don't think our issue is the makeup of our team, more the reality that none of them are actually dominant.

I wasn't impressed with the behaviour of the Leicester team or their fans, thought they were better than that — they bizarrely seem to think they are a «big» club now, and have all the attitude but none of the attributes.

I have a thought on this, the EPL is the most competitive league in the world but the top teams in the league which are Chelsea, Man City, Arsenal, Man United, Liverpool have all dropped their levels which is why none of them can compete in the champions league against the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern or Atletico, as great an advert it is that Leicester won but it's a serious indictment on the big teams that they won!

«None of us on the team think that we're going to tank,» running back Matt Forte, one of the few players over 30, told the Associated Press.

You see teams like loserpool, man shitty, and manure all upgrading their squads and none of us should think that it will be easy to win the league just because a top striker came to improve our amount of goals by 8 - 10.

And the person to blame for these mistakes is none other than the coach himself... i bet he hasn't watched a video of Palace recent games as yet... he wont study opposing teams, thinks we go out there and give it our best... if it doesn't work... Oh well, i still get paid and still have a job!!!

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

If it's a question of beating the big teams I think there is none which Arsenal has not beaten in the last 2 seasons.

Giroud — unless he was willing to be the super-sub without throwing himself on his sword in the press every ten minutes, as he simply represents all that has been wrong with this club since the sale of RVP... his presence on the pitch makes it impossible for us to make the necessary changes to our offensive scheme... just think about what teams were interested in him, besides the bullshit about Dortmund... it was West Ham, Everton and Marseille, none of which have the history, supposed aspirations or financial resources to create a one - touch forward - thinking offensive scheme

Scum came with a game plan to fustrate us yesterday none of our players played bad and none played really great but was a good team performance but I think it suprised us how much lack of ambition they had even palace had more ambition wen they came to us their bus was even bigger then Chelsea's COYG

He seems to think he can only improve the team with better players, of which there are none, except of course what he buys.

I hope this is a joke... Wilshere is not a first team player and no where valued at those wages rates (well, English players are overpriced and overvalued anyway and none of them could even pretend playing in a top European outfit) and I would wonder what players like Carzola, Coquelin and more think when they are obviously more IMPORTANT than Wilshere.

Don't think we can play Alexis for all of these games Arsene, and none of these teams can be taken lightly — we need another striker, not just a stand in!

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...

While watching matches, I sometimes think which aspect of my team is making me happy - the answer is none of them.

Actual supporters of the Magpies will probably think different, with the team's 5 - 1 annihilation of local arch-rivals Sunderland a fortnight ago extremely hard to eclipse, but to win at The Emirates, against all the odds and expectations, takes some doing and considering the amount of effort they put, the manner in which they set themselves up, kept their positional discipline and their application was second to none makes their 1 - 0 win over Arsenal in the capital unquestionably their best result of the season to date — As controversial as that may be.

Players talking, none of us know what the players think of it all, but the evidence this squad has the best team spirit any of us have seen at the club for a long time, so they can not be that unhappy.

I am with you on that Pablo, in theory we should have 75 — 80 mill to spend, I wouldn't put Zabaletta in the 2 or 3 quality players, he is decent offensively but plays in a team that rarely has to defend, Moses looks decent doing that at Chelsea, all too often Byram has been exposed by not having any defensive assistance if we sign him will be interesting to see how he is defensively because he will be tested in our team, Batshuayi would be a quality addition but he is still only a reserve for Chelski and I don't think he could do what Costa has for them or for us, imo we would still need another striker to lead the line, maybe Josh King if the rumours are true, what hasn't been mentioned too much is the left wing slots, none of ours are particulary great most of them seem to prefer the right side, if we don't go for Nolito maybe have a punt on Grosicki from Hull, we were interested in him previously and he is a very quick player that can create and score goals.

The Catalyst for a Cure team, my three colleagues and I, have been working together; it's been a very exciting period and I think we all feel like we've made a lot of progress in new directions that none of us would have thought to go in without having been brought together by the Glaucoma Research Foundation.

The levels were as interesting as any other Halo campaign but due to the better graphics and the ability to climb up a ledge rather than having to jump above it's height it made it great to explore for skulls and collectables, within the 9 hour co-op game both myself and Russ found ourselves venturing off and climbing up different parts of the maps to see how high we could get or what was hidden away, we came across a few Easter eggs on the way and found some rare or «special» weapons, Halo has always been a FPS which you have to explore to find Easter eggs etc. but Halo 5 just seemed better than the rest for this, the game flowed well between each level bouncing from blue team and team Osiris following the story to show where paths cross and what each team is doing in between, I feel like all of the trailers kind of pointed the story into a different direction to the way the campaign developed which was surprising and confusing at the same time but none the less it was a great campaign and one of the best Halo games I have played in many years, I was never a fan of Halo 4 I thought it lacked everything a Halo game should be but Halo 5 has surprised me and was well worth the wait.

Funnily enough, I still don't believe this game is an Unity Engine game (it's simply gorgeous by the way, proving that Unity is just misused), still occasionally thinking it's running on Unreal Engine 4, the art and detail in this game, especially for the size of the development team is second to none really.
