funny thing is though, no matter what your interests are, someone who was born a girl has girl parts, and is therefore a girl, and someone who was born a boy has boy parts, and is therefore a boy, regardless of whether or not the person wears dresses or plays with trucks
Parents are urged to develop an atmosphere of mutual respect; to communicate on levels of fun and recreation as well as on discipline and advice; to allow a child to learn «through natural consequences» — that is, by experiencing what happens when he dawdles in the morning and is permitted to experience the unpleasantness and embarrassment of being late to school; to encourage the child and spend time with him playing and learning (positively) rather than spending time lecturing and disciplining (negatively), since the child who is misbehaving is often merely craving attention and if he gets it in pleasant, constructive ways, he will not demand it in antisocial ways; to avoid trying to put the child in a mold of what the parent thinks he should do and be, or what other people think he should do and be, rather than what his natural gifts and tendencies indicate; to take time to train the child in basic skills — to bake a cake, pound a nail, sketch or write or play a melody — including those things the parents know and do well and are interested in.
Or is the world more like a living organism, where new things can happen and where human existence is related with and plays a significant part in what is going on?
but i have a new idea for what believers think god is... and it may actually exist and funny enough is only tested thru its effect on other objects — kinda like a black hole — the collective conscienceness of every living thing... since we all are part of the same energies and have in some form or another a conscienciness, i believe that collective is what the believers claim is god — the collective being felt and moved like any conscienceness but with the power to effect us all as we all play into it — as long as we are open to it... your thoughts?
May substitute some Walla Walla onions and kale just to mix things up, but that's what is great about this recipe, it screams for variation and playing around with the ingredients.
It's crazy, the things you'll do when you find yourself trapped in the middle of a Boeing 777 — with your husband sitting next to you, hogging the armrest and playing what seems like a never - ending game of solitaire — questioning how many typos were in the scheduled version of that boozy, celebratory blog post and if it was even scheduled for the right day.
Play around with this recipe, add things in and see what works, and let me know if you've got a fantastic recipe to share.
Lets run Manu at the point because he had 0 pts, 0 from 6 shooting or Bertans 5 pts in 20nd mins or Anderson 5 pts in 17 mins, all these guys over 6» 5 and taller that can't score we should break 60 by the end of the game Two of your Munchkins score 30 pts at around 50 % shooting, let Murray run the point sorry he is no where near ready and to be honest I don't think he has what it takes to be the future PG, the only thing I could agree with you is not playing the 3 together (Mills, Parker, Forbes) and giving White some minutes
Fair enough, I just wonder if he'd still be playing top flight football if he had been at United from the start with such a horrendous injury record, Fergie would have shipped him off ages before his eventual recovery, dare I say he was destined to win the Premier league the season he won it with United anyways, he was the hottest striker in the league for those two seasons, the only thing we lacked in his final season at Arsenal was enough creativity behind him and a lack of suitable replacement to take ocassionally take the load off him, but then Cazorla, Poldi and Giroud had been brought in for re-inforcements, he played with a patently inferior team to Arsenal's that season at United, with the exception of Rooney of course, he single handedly carried them to the title, what away to show loyalty.
I think this is what worries Alexis, he must look at Wilshere, among others, and knew of Diaby, and he must think to himself I couldn't live with a thing like that, I need to play.
It's difficult to blame Ozil for the difficulties he's faced at Arsenal without looking at the big picture... like the fans, he too was lied to by Wenger... there is no doubt in my mind that he was told by Wenger that he was trying desperately to recreate our earlier success by acquiring players that fit the system he ran when Henry was in his prime... as we know this hasn't happened... in order for Ozl to flourish he needs some speed up front, forwards that can make intelligent runs, a boss in the midfield to compensate for his obvious defensive liabilities and defenders who can transition from defence to offence quickly and efficiently... much like he had in Real and with the German National squad... unfortunately he ended up on a squad that has a striker who plays with his back to goal, very few intelligent runs into the box, minus Sanchez, no one to take pressure off him in the midfield, once Cazorla was injured, average defensive midfielders around him, which simply highlighted his lacking defensive qualities and defenders who lack the necessary cutting edge when it comes to transitional passing... instead of blaming Ozil, which is simply too easy, especially considering his mopey disposition, we should be asking ownership and / or Wenger why they brought him in if they didn't intend on doing what was necessary to get the best from him... can you imagine Ozil playing with the likes of Henry, Viera, Petit and Pires, it would be incredibly to watch and even more difficult to stop... so the only thing different between his experiences in Real and with the German team versus his time at Arsenal are the players around him and we all know who is in charge of making those decisions, the Grinch who stole soccer
With all of that stated, one of the things that has a sizable impact on what play the offense runs against a defense is the pre-snap look.
I like what you did with the rest of the draft and I could see things playing out this way and I'd be pretty happy.
its not what these guys are used to they have played with football greats like ronaldo and messi and you ask them to perform with players like ox and welback we should change the way we think just sell these midocre players that we keep on feeding sell them out and one more thing i swear if even if i had a chance to play this match on fifa i would never dare to play players out of position for fuck sake we already lost against stoke due to out of position defenders what is wrong with wenger
«The biggest thing is to uncloud your mind and understand what you're dealing with and just go out there and play basketball.»
I first watched Arsenal in 1976 and have been following home and away ever since NOT 2006, I also don't use twitter and don't play fifa, for the record I really am bored with the insinuation that if you criticise an Arsenal player, the owner or wenger then you don't support Arsenal, are happy with everything that's been going on since say the move to the grove?do you not ever think things should be done differently?did you never criticise a player?if you say no then I don't believe you.I make no hesitation in saying I'm very much on the side of the wenger out brigade, but never would I come on here and write what you've just done, for a start in might upset my seventy year old dad who is very much a AKB.I think you're just a keyboard warrior some how.Regardless though credit where credits due good performance today, and yes I did go
now pod is going in jan what the hell with wenger he destroyed so many players and one thing i can not understand why santi played every game for 90 min he is out of form but still our old monk gave him chance in front of pod and rosciky
See how poor nacho monreal was today yet people never criticize him.Gibbs should start over him next week.Yet people would say things like Gibbs is shit despite him being very consistent for arsenal.The only problem to me with Gibbs is that sometimes in some matches he gets caught out too much apart from that he is a better left back than Monreal and when both are at full pelt Gibbs is still better.I just do nt get it i watch the two of them play and i do nt know what makes Monreal better than him.
Up front we have a few world - class players surrounded by some serious pretenders... Sanchez is by far the most accomplished player in our attack but the controversy surrounding his contractual mishandling could see him go before the window closes or most definitely by season's end... obviously a mistake by both parties involved, as Sanchez's exploits have never been more on display than in North London, but the club's irresponsible wage structure and lack of real intent have been the real undoing in this mess... Lacazette, who I think has some world - class skills as a front man, will only be as good as the players and system around him, which is troubling due to our current roster and Wenger's love of sideways passing... Walcott should have been sold years ago, enough said, and Welbeck should never have been brought in from the get - go... both of these players have suffered numerous injuries over their respective careers and neither are good enough to overcome such difficulties: not to mention, they both are below average first - touch players, which should be the baseline test for any player coming to a Wenger - led Arsenal team... Perez should have been played wide left or never purchased at all; what a huge waste of time and money, which is ridiculous considering our penny pinching ways and the fact that fans had been clamoring for a real striker for years... finally Giroud, the fact that he stills wears the jersey is a direct indictment of this club's failure to get things right... this isn't necessarily an attack on Giroud because I think he has some highly valued skills, but not for a team that has struggled to take their sideways soccer to the next level, as his presence slows their game even more, combined with our average, at best, finishing skills... far too often those in charge have either settled or chosen half - measures and ultimately it is us that suffer because no matter what happens Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke will always make more money whereas we will always be the ones paying for their mistakes... so every time someone suggests we should just shut - up and support the team just think of all the sacrifices you've made along the way and simply reply... f *** off
Yet despite all the things the College of Faith does not have, what it does are athletes who believe, players more than willing to deal with these shortcomings — and even pay for them — all just to play the game they love a little longer, guys for whom the joy and camaraderie of college sports would otherwise likely be lost.
Let's face it goalkeepers tend to march to the beat of a different drum and Szczesny certainly fell into that category, but most of his antics were relatively harmless and simply reflected a certain level of immaturity that isn't uncommon for someone thrust into the limelight at such a young age... lord knows we've seen that happen with numerous players throughout the years and very few were ever banished for such behaviour... the only on - field action that drove me crazy was his inability to take a deep breath and not try to rush the play with an ill - timed throw at certain points in the game when common sense suggested holding the ball and slowing things down... the fact that he continued to do this probably had a lot to do with the glaring lack of coaching time spent with the goalkeepers... ultimately he made the fateful decision to take his frustrations out into the public sphere and paid dearly for it... in the end, his services were wanted by several of the best Italian squads, which is significant considering the historical importance placed on the defensive side of the ball in Serie A... all I know is that if someone asked me to pick the most athletically gifted goalkeeper we have had in our squad since the arrival of Wenger, without hesitation, he would be my pick and for that reason his departure is more than a little disappointing... what else is new though
One thing that I have realised with Arsene Wenger's signing is that if he likes a player even if he plays like sh*t, he will keep getting new contracts no matter what.
The problem is when you have an average defensive midfielder then your backline can never be at rest.Coquelin should have started this match.Some people think he's average but I feel he's been played out of position and being tasked with doing too much like a box to box player.How can someone who bases his game on tackling and interception lose that ability all of a sudden and you tell me nothing's wrong but bdcause he's average.Are we fans going to ignore what is plain to us?Let's just pretend things are alright.Then after we win the cracks will be papered only for them to be exposed another day.
2 things; wenger has to take massive crtisism for favoritism with certain players and for spending latley on less than whats needed e.g why play ozil, ramsey, walcott, when they havnt performed, anyone can see a front 3 of welbeck, sanchez and perez would cause havoc Xhaka wtf he cant takle, is not mobile enough and has the temper and the decision making skills of a of a suicide victim, why did nt we go in for Kante less money and 10x a better player or even Schneiderlin thinking about what happens after wenger ask yourself this will we win the league next year with wenger then ask if we got the right manager next year would we win the league
And I understand that they might have their bye after they London game... What I was saying that it would be the NFL thing to have the Chargers play on the week before the London game on Thursday night allowing them to travel with more rest while the Titans have to play on Monday night football and then travel after the game.
True, but we could also say the same thing about our premier league performances over the last decade or so, yet no one is saying what's the point in playing in this league since we keep on bottling it every time we are in with a shout.?
Well my boy think again who disrupted the team and the flo alex ox and ozil with their contract result ox gone his loss I set up late to watch chile play my punishment to him make loose both game for what he has done to us very satisfied now I say to the fans give him the support whilst he is at the club showing him what he is going to miss same support goes to ozil he will now do the thing cl next year Lacazzette said he will give free spiritual service I will join him to give that service ok guys have faith the dr kass
If he was a true warrior, then you work to raise the level of your team, and strive to win things with what you have around you, instead of pouting about not playing with an All Star team.
I hope I'm wrong but this could be the most damaging win when it comes to transfers... winning 1 game, after about 20 minutes of really good play, is of little consequence in the grand scheme of things... only those with the most selfish of intentions would suggest otherwise... the only reason we're even in this predicament, where were celebrating our first victory of 2018 against a bottom half squad who is managed by possibly the only individual more antiquated than our manager, is because of Wenger's ridiculous mishandling of his contract last year combined with his mishandling of the contracts of our top players this year; a fact that he himself admitted to... so before you get too excited about the possibilities of our current roster don't forget what has happened over the last several years and pray to the gods of football that real quality reinforcements like Auba are on the way, which could have happened years ago for less money and we might have been holding a trophy of some significance, or this brief respite will be followed by the usual mediocrity and stagnation
It is a good thing... he needs to play and regardless of what happens while on loan Arsenal will know where they stand with him.
And his judgement is a lil impaired attaching emotion to football is a bad way to loose games, i was happy he finally drop Carzola last match and did nt play Flamini, but he also needs to open his eyes and address issues that everyone keeps shouting at before its too late, hes notorious for leaving things too late he did the same with ALL the deadwood in our past, and hes doing it now with our good players, we easily have the players to take this league by storm but bad judgement of form and on pitch responsibility is what is killing us!
I agree with you that AW has done some astounding things for the club, but he has also made some reall balls ups and week in week out it seems he is not able to offer up a tactical plan B or utilise key players in key positions against the relevant sides we play, (not starting with Rosicky and Walcott on Saturday was one such instance) I realise that no team wins all their games and I know that we have been under the cosh for quiet a few years now, but what annoys me more than anything else is the lack of Visible ambition, we spent three weeks messing around with Beliek and only just managed to get Paulista who was an uncertainty due to a work visa.
Wenger lost the plot when he brought in Giroud... what about the beautiful game involves having a lumbering striker who's main attribute is holding up play... our success with Wenger, and even before, came with pace and clinical striking up front, having a boss in the midfield and having physically imposing CBs... what about Wright, Bergkamp, Anelka, Henry or RVP remind anyone of Giroud (minus the left foot of course)... the formula was broken, which didn't have to be the end of our success, but when you adopt half - measures you can't expect things just to work themselves out on their own... at the very least Wenger should have brought in some wingers that can consistently cross the ball and then spend significantly more time addressing our lack of success with set pieces... ultimately this is why we continued to struggle with consistency and continued to constantly play people in the wrong positions
When you say stupid team with a coach out of his depths are you really being ignorant or intelligent.Also the fact that if we had played PSG, Real Madrid etc. during pre-season and won it still means absolutely nothing in terms of the fact that it does not determine our season whatsoever and does not guarantee us success but what it only means is that we beat them.So when I see people stressing on things like those I roll my eyes.As I said earlier if you win a match today you can lose tomorrow and vice versa.No match is dependent on the other.You had better stop wasting your time.
Nothing like one underachiever blowing smoke up the ass of another... we know that Ozil has some incredible technical gifts, but to be considered the best you have to bring more than just assists to the table... for me, a top player has to possess a more well - rounded game, which doesn't mean they need to be a beast on both ends of the pitch, but they must have the ability to take their game to another level when it matters most... although he amassed some record - like stats early on, it set the bar too high, so when people expected him to duplicate those numbers each year the pressure seemed to get the best of our soft - spoken star... obviously that's not an excuse for what has happened in the meantime, but it's important to make note of a few things: (1) his best year was a transition year for many of the traditionally dominant teams in the EPL, so that clearly made the numbers appear better than they actually were and (2) Wenger's system, or lack thereof, didn't do him any favours; by playing him out of position and by not acquiring world - class striker and / or right - side forward that would best fit an Ozil - centered offensive scheme certainly hurt his chances to repeat his earlier peformances, (3) the loss of Cazorla, who took a lot of pressure off Ozil in the midfield and was highly efficient when it came to getting him the ball in space, negatively impacted his effectiveness and (4) he likewise missed a good chunk of games and frankly never looked himself when he eventually returned to the field... overall the Ozil experiment has had mixed reviews and rightfully so, but I do have some empathy for the man because he has always carried himself the same way, whether for Real or the German National team, yet he has only suffered any lengthy down periods with Arsenal... to me that goes directly to this club's inability to surround him with the necessary players to succeed, especially for someone who is a pass first type of player; as such, this simply highlights our club's ineffective and antiquated transfer policies... frankly I'm disappointed in both Ozil and our management team for not stepping up when it counted because they had a chance to do something special, but they didn't have it in them... there is no one that better exemplifies our recent history than Ozil, brief moments of greatness undercut by long periods of disappointing play, only made worse by his mopey posturing like a younger slightly less awkward Wenger... what a terribly waste
What we've got to do is prepare like crazy for a team, a university, a program we have tremendous respect for, do the things that we need to do to make sure our team is ready to go out and play on Saturday, stick with our routine as you guys know I believe in strongly.»
I can only hope that this attempt is taken more seriously than the largely muted and clearly unsuccessful protests of late last season... although the plane writing escapade brought some much - needed attention to the matter, it failed to resonate with fence - sitters and those who had just recently fell off the Wenger truck... without a big enough showing of support the whole endeavor appeared relatively weak and poorly organized, especially to the major media outlets, whose involvement could have significantly changed what was to follow... but I get it, few wanted to turn on their club, let alone make a public display of their discord... problem is, they are preying on that vulnerability, in fact, their counting on you to keep your thoughts to yourself... who are you to tell these fat cats how to steal your money... they have worked long and hard to pull the wool over your eyes... they even went so far as to pay enormous sums of cash to your once beloved professor to be their corporate spokesmodel so that the whole thing would be more palatable... eventually the club made it appear as if this was simply a relatively small fringe group of highly radicalized supporters, which allowed the pro-Wenger element inside the club hierarchy to claim victory following the FA Cup win... unfortunately what has happened to this club can't be solved by FA Cups or a few players coming in, the very culture of this club needs to be changed and that starts at the top... in order to change the unhealthy and dysfunctional narrative that has absorbed this club we need to remove everyone who presently occupies a position of power... only then can we get back to the business of playing championship caliber football, which should always be the number one priority of this organization... on an important side note, one of the most devastating mistakes made in the final days of this hectic and poorly planned transfer window didn't have to do with the big name players like Sanchez or Lemar, but the fact that they failed to secure Jadon Sancho, who might even start for Dortmund this season... I think they might seriously regret this oversight... instead of spending so much time, energy and manpower pretending that they were desperately trying to make big moves, they once again lost the plot due to their all too familiar tunnel vision
Suppose we have a very direct game with no set - pieces for either side, then what to do with Giroud... He is no John Terry, he have the physicality but not the technique and the brain... I want him to be on the bench and I am gonna support anyone in his place (bar slow Mert), I feel bored with Giroud leading the line and I bet Ozil, Sanchez feel the same thing... I barely get relief when Wenger started to play someone else upfront...
The last thing we should be worried about is what other clubs are doing, especially considering the ridiculous amount of issues we have with our own squad... for those still on the fence regarding their feelings towards are current manager please make note of the comments he made following our loss to Stoke... once again he played the referee card, which might have carried a little weight if it wasn't the umpteenth time he has used this excuse and the fact that we were absolutely pathetic in the final third... I could speak at great length about the myriad of problems with this club but I'll focus on just a few of the more pressing concerns:
What's wrong with the way things used to be when 30 teams played 15 games in the afternoon across three time zones?
With both Alabama and Georgia recently pulling off huge special teams plays in huge moments, what types of plays will be huge in determining the little things in this game?
Picture this, we don't come out of the gate firing on all cylinders, Wenger speaks of how there wasn't enough time for the first - teamers to build chemistry, several key players aren't even playing because of Wenger's utterly ridiculous policy regarding players who played in the Confed Cup or the under21s and the boo - birds have returned in full flight... if these things were to happen, which is quite possible considering the Groundhog Day mentality of this club, how long do you think it will take for Wenger to recant his earlier statements regarding Europa... I would suggest that it's these sorts of comments from Wenger which are often his undoing... why would any manager worth his weight in salt make such a definitive statement before the season has even started... why would any manager who fashions himself an educated man make such pronouncements before even knowing what his starting 11 will be come Friday, let alone on September 1st... why would any manager who has a tenuous relationship with a great many supporters offer up such a potentially contentious talking point considering how many times his own words have come back to bite him in the ass... I think he does this because he doesn't care what you or I think, in fact he's more than slightly infuriated by the very idea of having to answer to the likes of you and me... that might have been acceptable during his formative years in charge, when the fans were rewarded with an scintillating brand of football and success felt like a forgone conclusion, but this new Wenger led team barely resembles that team of ore... whereas in times past we relished a few words from our seemingly cerebral manager, in recent times those words have been replaced by a myriad of excuses, a plethora of infuriating stories about who he could have signed but didn't and what can only be construed as outright fabrications... it's kind of funny that when we want some answers, like during the whole contract debacle of last season, we can't get an intelligent word out of him, but when we just what him to show his managerial acumen through his actions, we can't seem to get him to shut - up... I beg you to prove me wrong Arsene
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...
i don't think Sanchez will be playing with his full potential and get what we expected from him the coming season if things continued goiing on like this.
