Arsenal are finishing the
season with a flourish, with 7 wins
in our last 8 games, so is he happy that his side are performing
at the right
time: «We won more games than last year, because we already have one
point more than last year.»
It is only halfway through the

Yet Shaw has only made 15 appearances all
season and is now again
in the firing line as after he was berated by Mourinho from the sidelines
in the first half against Brighton
at the weekend, he was hauled off
at half
time and has now been a major talking
point.
The England international has had a miserable

They'd rather wait for the one
time it fails so they can bash You blame the manager for being favourist yet a fellow blogger praising a player he previously bashed is called being two faced You kill Ramsey for a blind pass attempting to enter the opposition final third yet you won't blame Sanchez for turning over the ball
in a pointless dribble with three free team mates You kill metersacker for deflecting a shot into his own net but won't touch kos for getting out of the way of a shot he could have sufficiency blocked You claim with no substantial proof that arteta, mert, Ramsey, can not lead arsenal anywhere substantial yet they have each
at a
point been a massive cause for stability and progress when called upon Even after reading this comment, you will ignore the fact that kos was awful until partnerd with mert, our defensive mid with song leaked more goals than the one with arteta and we've struggled to win without him
at least until late last
season.
I was called delusional for predicting Arsenal FC's downfall
at the beginning of the
season In one of my articles, there is no
point being smug about it, Arsenal capitulating during a
season has been done so many
times one might refer to it as being cliché.
Some might say a Title Winning team
in a
season won't see such a result
at any
point in a
season, so I think that's fair, and for Arsenal to avoid such results, they either expect everyone to be 100 % 100 % of the
time (unlikely) or they get themselves a 20 a
season scorer who will send shiver down the spine of opponents and offer a solution to his colleagues every
time they want to attack.
4th place gone, football quality
at an all
time low, a half empty stadium... the furure ai nt what it used to be... junkies
in cold turkey... wenger pretending that more
points than last
season means progress... the man is a charlatan of the first order.
Despite having come under fire for his style of play
at various
points this
season, van Gaal's side seem to be coming good
at the most important
time in the
season.
why was Sanchez truly playing... no one believes he was too injured to play to start the
season, and some like myself would go as far to suggest he wasn't injured
at all... so why play him... they can't say it was to appease the fans because when was that ever a factor
at this club except when «panic buys» were
in the offing... I believe that this was to give Arsenal a little leverage when it comes to negotiating his transfer... just imagine their horrible bargaining position if Sanchez never saw the field before the deadline then heading back to South America and played for Chile... regardless of the facts, this was sadly again another example of a team putting business ahead of fielding a team with the greatest chance to secure 3
points... of course, some will say that Sanchez is, or was, our best player, so obviously he's a no - brainer to start, but those who really watch the game know that his heart hasn't been truly
in it for quite some
time... even
at the end of last
season you could see a definitive difference between the Sanchez who played for Chile and the one that played for Arsenal... that being said, 70 % of Sanchez is still better than a 100 % of the vast majority of our remaining roster... shame on you Arsene and shame on you too Sanchez for that telling smirk... I've supported your attempt to push this squad to the next level but don't pretend for a second that you didn't know you were being watched... don't lower your standards or you'll end up like this club, on the outside looking
in
If these 40 conversions had been achieved by Arsenal, Arsenal would have been Champions on 100
points at this stage

season with 6 games to spare.
Poor summer transfer window on both occasions, top of the league
at the half way
point each
time, but lots of poor performances, both
seasons were so open, lots of injuries during both campaigns, and the final nail
in the coffin for the 13/14
season was the deluded Kallstrom signing.
Coming off a 28 -
point performance against the Los Angeles Lakers last Thursday, it was the first
time Nurkic has scored
at least 20

In fact it's his constant willingness to move this transfer window that has made Aulas concede defeat in keeping him at Lyon.He seems to have his heart set on a move away this season than ever.I've also not heard another club competing with Arsenal for his signature hence this is his likely destination.Aulas at this point in time would also want no stumbling block in the deal and would want everything done quickly after seeing how Laca wants to move.I'm 100 % sure Lacazette will be an Arsenal playe

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

Cazorla and Ramsey will 100 % be injured

Whilst by the
time we face man United

Wenger has achieved a huge amount for the club and although some of it was set prior to his arrival and some of it was an extension of his initial success the fact that winds up most of the anti wenger fans is that the club IS spending money and IS trying to rebuild after a long
time in the wilderness, but when it comes to the spending on players its always the CHEAPER option
in the most important area's Chips Keswick Boasted a # 100» 000 000 war chest during last summers closed
season and stated that the club could buy any player they wished (Apart from the worlds top players
at that
point Messi) yet instead of spending the money
in area's that needed drastic improvement Wenger opted for the cheaper replacements and spent just over half of the money allocated.
With that sort of revenue we should be competing for the UCL as well as
points clear
at this
time in the
season.
people are
pointing out that is Kroenke's fault but the reality is Koroenke did not buy yaya Sanogo, Kallstrom, Park Yung and last year Takuma Assano (loaned to germany) to mention few of the average players got
in transfers.Kroenke gave 100 million last summer so why not going for Abumayang
at that
time for 60 - 70 millions or Lacaztte (40 — 50 reports
in Spain indicate he's going to Atletico) and another 30 - 40 millions for DM (we got Xhaka but i believe next
season the guy will be much better) so the lack of reinforcing the Key positions needed is his fault.
Mourinho will, if the past is an indication and seeing how scared Wenger was of Man U when played them earlier this
season, playing not to lose despite Man U not playing very well
at the
time, will find a way to beat us
in the head - to - head, this means we would be 1
point ahead of Man U if Spurs beat us
in the head - to - head they are 2
points infront of us.
Well im not
in a wonderland he has his failings as we all do and great teams find a way to win good teams sit where we are 6 -5-4 but thats besides the
point and it would be nice if your aunty had bolocks cause then we d be second but ive watched the games were an offensive team most the
time although were terrible
in the pissing rain but for the most part the game plans have worked weve created chances quality scoring chances one after the other problem is for me the finishing unless we sit back with 9 man behind the ball or ten when you push forward you will give up a goal if you lousy forwards fail to finish the set ups have been there this year but our strikers have failed to kill the games if we create quality chances and grab leads
in the first 60 minutes like we have for the most part and
in those games those games should of been killed even if we give a goal or two alongside the strategy but we failed to hit multiple should be goals we tried laca we'll see abou auba although hes a bit lazy so far but we'll see but we've lacked that quality
in front goal a player the chances have been there im looking
at the failure of the strikers and maybe that is his fault but monreal has scored as many goals recently as our strikers and thats sad our defenders or a midfielder will score and our stikers cant tally one
in th first 60 mins of a game alongside them then were tired for last 40 give them hope there still only down one and we rue our missed chances while they push thats where iv been frustrated with this
season not the tactics but the finishing
The Gunners take on Bayern for the fourth
time in six
seasons, with all but one of those encounters being
at the same

I also believe we should get Lacazette as his back up, we can't afford to rely on Giroud
at any
point in time during the
season or when injuries and suspensions happen.

If u are an arsenal fan u wil realise there are two parts
in an arsenal
season... the first part is when we are winning and we think that we are the best team
in the world
at that
point Wenger is a god and every Arsenal playr is a world class player
at this
point also Arsenal need no signings... then the 2nd part is when reality hits us hard
in the face, we are eliminated
in all competetion injuries come
in and everyone is singing WENGER MUST GO... haha i ges
at this
time we are
in the 1st part, we nid no signings and the squad is good enaf, there will be no injuries the whole
season and Arsenal will win the EPL and the Cl next year hehe!
I'll also be worried if Kalinin gets PP
time during the regular

Faced with this situation there is little
point in fans exerting pressure on Wenger and the Board as the next two
seasons will see the club slide into mid table mediocrity
at best One can only hope that AW and the Board have the decency to step down when his current contract expires by which
time it will be increasingly difficult to attract quality players to the club

INSHAA ALLAH this
season we will the win the league of we just keep focus, treat one game
at a
time, don't be afraid of man city, man utd, tottenham, Liverpool, Everton when we we play them away just be patient and respect them
at their home grounds sit deep and work hard and we wil get the important results
in our favour
in these games and also don't underestimate small sides because these games can give you
points and if we you lose or draw against these sides then it can cause huge dent
in our title ambitions... COYG!!!
Watched Monaco last night didn't see anything special about lamar gave the ball away so many
times in the first 20 minutes try doing that
in the premiership, how about we win all our home games this
season that guarantee
at least 60
points eh just a thought
If we are top of the table or top 3 on the table
at that
time with the
points difference not much», then we have a great run
in the 2nd half of the
season as we did last
season'then we'll be Champions.
For the last 20 - odd years it has arrived

point in the

times coming down to the final day.
Let's get the facts straight here.He never demanded # 400,000 a week.All that is just media talk.However, I support your
point of the fact that him going does not mean disaster.We've survived with far better players leaving you know.If Arsenal had replaced Van Persie the
season he left we would've challenged them for the title that
season.However,
at that
time we were financially poor and had to settle for some second rate players.Now we are
in a better financial position and I expect us to be more ambitious and that involves trying as much as possible to replace any player who leaves.This doom prediction doesn't show the character of a top club.Even Chelsea won't behave like how we do if they lost Hazard.I hate the way Arsenal allows players to treat it.I actually thought only smaller clubs behaved that way.

Arsenal beat Brighton 2 - 0
at the Emirates earlier
in the
season, but
at the
time the Gunners were on an unbeaten run of ten games
at home, while Brighton had gained only one
point on the road and were favourites for relegation, but this match has a completely different complexion looking
at recent form.
Standings
points be damned, this
season has been the most fun
in franchise history
in my opinion watching our new guys Bread and Dubois, watching Jones and Z keep growing, Sonny and Bjorky (
at times), etc. it's hard to win
in the playoffs.
The thing that really bothers me is the thing we've disagreed on
in the past and that's imo Wengers apparent lack of Urgency and decisiveness when moving into the transfer window I know that Scheweinsteiger would be a great addition but He is somewhat over the hill
in comparison to the others that are being toted about and while I know that we are not the cash Rich Man Poo or Man Sh!tty or Chelski I do know that we are
at a
point for the first
time in ten years where we don't need to replace many players or are being frced to sell the quality ones we have, we are for the first
time in a spot where we only need to add two or three players and we are there
in terms of being able to compete, Id hate for the financial Exuberance to stop us taking that final stride forward into the competitive team we nearly are IMO spend the money now, get the striker, get the DM and we wont need to look
at transfers
in a big way again for several
seasons and with that
in mind Id rather have the likes of Benzema or Lacazetta or even Cavanni than a nearly over the hill Scheweinsteiger.
