Q is not my favorite coach

Although many will suggest that Robson has a personal vendetta of sorts aimed squarely at the Grinch who stole soccer, that doesn't make his words any less truthful... such tactics are nothing new... in the U.S.this business practice has become so common that even the
players regularly use the media
to manipulate public opinion (LeBron James did likewise
to rally public support for himself and away from his teammate, Kyrie Irving, who has asked
to be traded)... whether for contract leverage or
to rally support for or against certain
players, this strategy can be incredibly effective at times, but when it misses the mark it can be dangerously divisive... for a close -
to - the - vest team like Arsenal
to use such nefarious means
to manufacture a wedge between the fans and it's best
player (again), is absolutely despicable... for the sanctimonious higher -
ups who demand that it's
players adhere
to a certain protocol regarding information deemed «in house» or else
to intentionally spread «fake» news or
to provide certain outlets with privileged information for such purposes is pretty low indeed... no moral high ground here, just a big club pretending
to be a small club so that they can continue
to pull the wool over the eyes of a dedicated, albeit somewhat naive, fan
base... so not only does this club no give a shit about it's fans, this clearly shows that clubs primary interests aren't even soccer related... for all intent and purposes Kroenke doesn't care if we're a soccer club or a tampon factory as long as we continue
to maximized his investment... stay woke people... great
to see more and more people commenting on the state of the franchise... this club needs
to be held accountable for it's actions
Most of ye probably didn't support arsenal when Wenger was classed as one of the most wanted managers in Europe and was putting it
up to Utd and winning trophies every yr things are different now the moving stadium all that less whinging give it a bit of time he is starting
to spend and I'm sure he will buy 1 or 2 in Jan and a few big signings nxt summer and I hope he goes out on a high man gets ridiculed by knobs like ye on a regular
basis players want
to play for him big star
players like his style wake
up a bit as long as he is in charge the club is in good hands
Bottom line, if he is angered bench the
players who were not good enough and play those who deserve some game time
based on the Southampton game or on games where they had a positive impact: - Take Özil out and play Ox in the hole (he has
to understand your the highest paid
player of the club, your given freedom like nobody else and your even seeking even more money with a new contract you can't play like that ever and go AWOL)- Put Sanchez on the wing or
up top but put Welbeck in (Walcott didn't track back near enough for the Alsonso goal)- Iwobi has been bright from the wing let him play there - Xhaka has
to go back in the holding midfield role and I would take out Coquelin because he could've taken a foul on the hazard's goal.
With these, the fan can set
up every situation in which a

Cazorla — too bad he was lost too soon... not blinded enough
to think he would solve all of our ills but he was and is the only deep - lying
player on this team that can pass more than 12 yards on a consistent
basis... like Rosicky, gone way too soon but can't dwell on it too long or we end
up in the crazy world of Wenger's man love for the one and only Diaby... don't resign because even if he were
to come back he's been out
to long and he just gives Wenger an excuse
to not replace with talent
But, I'm not going
to set myself
up like I did 2 seasons ago by falling in love with a

based on their tape and not their fit in Quinn's system.
I think the only
to get the board
to refuse
to offer Arsene an extension is for all of us
to boycott all the remaining games.Why should we pay the highest prices
to watch these overpaid pre-modonas serve

up recently.If Arsene's, Bould and the
players salary was performance
based then I believe things would change overnight.

This thing is being given too much attention.There a lot of
players Arsenal passed
up on that Mourinho may have also signed you know.In fact there a lot of top
players who Arsenal passed
up on signing when they were young and for some even matured.Does this mean they aren't good enough?Wenger even regrets passing
up on certain
players.The fact is that everyone has his
basis for signing or not signing a
player.Clearly, Wenger and Mourinho both have their
basis on whether Lacazette was good enough.One
player who is deemed average
to another team could be deemed useless
to another team.I just don't know why much attention is being given
to this thing.One thing I know for sure is Laca is a good finisher and that's alk he needs this season.If Lacazette brings his finishing boots this season it's going
to be goals galore.
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
The pedigree he came
up with bought him some faith / trust at first, but he hasn't demonstrated an ability
to put the
players in positions
to succeed on a consistent
basis.
That, of course, is assuming that Wenger lives
up to his own new year's resolution which,
based on the last couple of years, is only signing one major
player a year and in turn allowing one major
player to leave each season.
A lot of football coaches take press conferences after their annual spring game, which wraps

Without directly mentioning us, I have heard Liverpool and Tottenham supporters rue their transfer market trolley dashes getting
to the check - outs with all sorts of odds and sods and last minute bargains — and wishing they had bought 1 or 2 «proper»
players and built it
up on an incremental
basis.
and so on and so on while the press make
up a certain amount its usually
based on some kind of grain of truth and whatever excuses we can come
up with it boils down
to this, we are two
players maybe three from being really able
to compete with the top dogs but I'll bet my house we don't get the
players we all want, we'll get cheaper alternatives that Wenger will try and turn into superstars so that he can bask in the glory of turning an unknown into a world class
player... that's his thing he's been dining out on this stuff for years.
If Wenger was given better
base ingredients then he would get better results, it is
up to AFC
to get the
players that Wenger identifies and desires, we should have had Lacazette 12 months ago but Ivan and Co would only go
up to the max of what they was given, did they forget funds could be made
up?
In my opinion, early kick offs tend
to benefit our
player as they have slipped occasionally when our rivals had games before us in which they dropped points and we only needed wins
to move
up ahead.playing manure is tough enough without the added pressure of trying
to catch
up or go ahead
based on result of other rivals.
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
As defenders get used
to pace, get tired from having
to defend 2 - 3 different
players based on the fluent interchange, he comes in and brings something different: physicality, hold

One agent suggested
to me that the top G - League
players — those who make the G - League All - Star team and those who have been considered «call -

For your info I am London
based and do have a season ticket, not sure how that's relevant
to Wenger spending money on exceptional
players,
to be honest I think playing
players out of position, very rarely playing your best goalscorer for ninety minutes, predictable tactics, failing
to sign
up two of your best
players to new deals and many many more failings helps our opponents far more than any Wenger out banner or protest.
But
based on
players getting picked on form rather than the «name», I think Giroud deserves
to have another shot
up front as a starting striker for the match against.
2) Play
player at their right position 3) Play
player base on performance and not favouritism 4) Rotate the squad 5) Promote good young
player to fill
up the debt 6) Play the right formation and not a formation just
to accommodate some
players 7) Accept and make correction 8) Make the right substitute at the right time... When all this are done pls tell me arsenal won't do well....
My favorite part was how they interacted with the
players and coaches on a regular

players warnings that they were going

up.
You can make money on a daily

Speaking of Auby, does anyone else feel that there is a small chance for some club
to almost go in for him under the radar (with the right price) and snatch him quietly / quickly while everyone else is eyeing
up all the future French wonders along with Spanish and Italian
based players making big splashes.
No Arsenal supporter WANTS
to finish fourth and
to argue otherwise is simply another lie that the AOBs / AAAs deploy on a regular
basis, myth masquerading as fact — we are a fan -
base divided by those who imagine they have all the answers (and if it was really that simple ie: get new owners, spend big, simply pick
up the phone and buy any
player we want and hire the fad manager of the moment — then every team would be winning the PL and UCL every year and we know that can't happen don't we) and those who think it is a bit more complicated than that.

We still lost away
to Chelsea, lucky
to leave Anfield with a point, Spurs took 4 points off of us, Utd beat us AT HOME and I have know idea who's turning
up at Old Trafford... I feel now we REALLY need
to hold unto 3rd and most importantly the
players shouldn't be forgotten either, they get paid more than most people will see in their lifetime... The should be performing at the highest level on a constant
basis but sadly they haven't either at least in the games that really count... I love Arsenal but something has
to give in order for is
to proceed and I want
to see that Arsenal again at least one last time...
No problem, there are any number of online -

players to send in their legal bats, have them juiced

In a some news
to cheer him

to retailers Sports Direct, he is the most popular Premier League
player based on shirt sales, with nearly 10 per cent of all shirts sold having his name on the back.
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...
Quality is not all about goals or stats you know.If it was a lot of Arsenal
players would have been sold and many
players would not even be regarded.People need
to look at the bigger picture.He scored 16 goals last two season as the starting CF.You and I know that
based on the chances he gets he should've been doing better.The guy is not even a clinical
player from what we watch yet people will always deny that fact.The only case people make
up for Giroud is his goals.They can't even talk about his quality on the ball and others because it's non existent.He was part of the reason why Arsenal couldn't win the trophy in 15/16 season.It's a shame we are compromising and refuse
to state things the way they are.Even if Giroud scores 40 goals in the EPL qualoty wise he's still average.
Coach Volker Finke has caused some consternation back in Cameroon, however, after a three - day training camp for domestic -

There are so much possibilities and probabilities
to look at, would the invincibles have won the league this season, i would love
to think so but highly unlikely, so Mr Parlour do not go judging
players base on your era which has past, football has changed over the pass years, with more serious contenders, its only recently our arsenal have seem
to be catching
up
So a fairly pacy forward who can hold
up the ball and make occasional dangerous dribbles... such
players are two a penny across the top two divisions and not the
basis for a team claiming
to want
to conquer europe... i used
to think that at 20 we should have loaned him out
to brentford
to gauge his qualities still a possibility but an offer from millwall would be fine too
There were lots of home -
