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

club seemingly looking to rebuild as they consider the futures of players who will surely now attract interest from top European

Always
such a
big deal for a
club that is infused
with incompetence as Arsenal are...
There would always have been plenty of managers willing to take on the job, even though the
club's transfer budget was a fraction of those being spent by our direct rivals, but I do not think any other top manager would have stuck
with us, especially
with big spending
clubs such as Real Madrid and PSG after them.

bigger than us (albeit at the moment.

New signings
such as Angel Di Maria, Ander Herrera and Radamel Falcao have seen Januzaj's opportunities more limited this season,
with van Gaal putting an emphasis on
big - name signings instead of promoting the
club's youth.
Although I've found it very cathartic to speak, vent and end occasionally rant about all things Arsenal, we need to act carefully and intelligently right now or we're going to get played by this
club even worse than at present... the pro-Wengerites and the suits, who represent a considerable proportion of the season ticket holders, don't want to believe that there is no plan and that Wenger has mailed it in for several years now or that things are going to get much worse before they get better... why would they... many have spent a considerable sum buying some of the highest priced tickets in the World... they want to have a front row seat to see something special and to be seen doing so, which simply provides ample justification for the expense and the time invested... to many of them, Wenger is the sun in their soccer universe... his awkward disposition, misplaced arrogance and his utter lack of balls makes him a rather unusual cult figure, but the cerebral narrative seemed to embolden those who already felt pretty highly of themselves... many might not even of really liked football that much before his arrival and rarely games they weren't attending... as
such, they desperately believe that Wenger, and only Wenger, can supply them
with their required fix... if he goes, they were wrong and that's a tough pill to swallow... they would have to admit that they were duped... they will definitely resent whoever made them feel this way, but of course it will be too late by then... so when we go overboard
with ridiculous comments bordering of anarchy, it scares the shit out of them and they shift their blame towards us rather than at those who really perpetrated this act of treason... we aren't the enemy... we simply woke much earlier and the reason our comments have gotten more vile in recent years is out of utter frustration... in order for any real change to occur at this
club we need to bring as many supporters as possible
with us or the
big money interests will fade and our ultimate objective will be lost... so it's time to focus on the head instead of the heart for now
That is disputable we were just in another cup final its like you apparently do nt like cup finals do nt like trophys a
big stadium he brought to us a top class training facility he brought to us im sorry he played a huge part in making the
club a global giant and that our
club success makes you angry and our new sponsor signing which emirates only endorsed
with such big money since his success like if we get a manager who loses consistently for 20 years you will apparently be happy give it one more year we have top four next year maybe even a title its a world cup year any new manager would start outhorribly
The goalposts are certainly flexible when it comes to the terms of unlawful pursuits of players,
with a number of
big clubs given huge leeway when it comes to talking about rival
clubs stars, and Arsene Wenger is one to claim victim of
such offences.
However,
with such big European
clubs linked
with the Brazilian starlet, not only is competition fierce but perhaps it's a sign of how highly regarded he is even at
such an early stage in his career.
there is no doubting that Arsene has helped to provide us
with some incredible footballing moments in the formative years of his managerial career at Arsenal, but that certainly doesn't and shouldn't mean that he has earned the right to decide when and how he should leave this
club... there have been numerous managers at each of the
biggest clubs in Europe throughout the last decade who have waged far more successful campaigns than ours yet somehow and someway each were given their walking papers because they failed to meet the standards laid out by the hierarchy of their respective
clubs... of course that doesn't mean that
clubs should simply follow the lead of others, especially if
clubs of note have become too reactionary when it comes to issues of termination, for whatever reasons, but there should be some logical discourse when it comes to the setting of parameters for a changing of the guard... in the case of Arsenal, this sort of discourse was largely stifled when the higher - ups devised their sinister plan on the eve of our move to the Emirates... by giving Wenger a free pass due to supposed financial constraints he, unwittingly or not, set the bar too low... it reminds me of a landlord who says he will only rent to «professional people» to maintain a certain standard then does a complete about face when the market is lean and vacancies are up... for those who rented under the original mandate they of course feel cheated but there is little they can do, except move on, especially if the landlord clearly cares more about profitability than keeping their word... unfortunately for the lifelong fans of a football
club it's not so easy to switch allegiances and frankly why should they, in most cases we have been around far longer than them... so how does one deal
with such an untenable situation... do you simply shut - up and hope for the best, do you place the best interests of those
with only self - serving agendas above the collective and pray that karma eventually catches up
with them, do you run away
with your tail between your legs and only return when things have ultimately changed, do you keep trying to find silver linings to justify your very existence, do you lower your expectations by convincing yourself it could be worse or do you stand up for what you believe in by holding people accountable for their actions, especially when every fiber of your being tells you that something is rotten in the state of Denmark
Arsenal f.c is in the top 6
biggest clubs in europe and as
such requires to be competing at all fronts not just competing for the F.A cup only.And
with arsene wenger as manager that is just impossible.Fans are loosing wives cause of bets made, commiting murder when they are taunted about arsenal f.c loosing a game and also commiting suicide cause the pain is too unbearable.As you can see we are very passionate supporters so for every game its a matter of life and death.In a way an old dog can't be taught new tricks.
With such options available to us and restructuring of the
club, now is the time to seriously look at post Wenger, we may be slipping in sporting terms but we have a
big draw off the field in the fact we are getting people in who are / will push for spending and be in the area to really push for us to spend.
The 28 - year - old will no doubt be delighted to play in
such a
big game for his
club,
with United looking to open up a potential ten - point lead over their opponents if they win this weekend.
Instead the
club made
such sacrifices to bring Arsenal closer to the
big clubs in Europe so that you could claim in your article that Arsenal is as
big as
clubs it could not compete
with between 2006 and 2012.
Big names
such as Diego Costa, Cesc Fabregas and Filipe Luis have since been brought in, while
club legend Didier Drogba has also returned to Stamford Bridge on a free transfer and promising youngster Thibaut Courtois has returned to the
club after three years out on loan
with Atletico Madrid — and it is these signings that look to have pushed these two players out of the exit door:
Coming into a
club that has been blessed
with spectacular forwards in the past twenty years
such as Ian Wright, Kanu Nwankwo, Nicolas Anelka, Dennis Bergkamp, Thierry Henry and Robin Van Persie, Olivier Giroud certainly had
big boots to fill.
Big clubs such as Arsenal and Liverpool have been linked
with the French international, while newly - promoted Queens Park Rangers have also emerged as surprise candidates to win the race for his signature.
Arsenal and Chelsea are of course the teams to follow
such reports, and
with him supposedly having failed to agree contract terms
with Borussia Dortmund, he may well be the next
big name to move to our beloved
club.
Apart of Lucas Perez who looks to want to leave this window, the on the fringe Gunners
such as: Gibbs, Wilshere, Jenkinson, Debuchy who are looking to be the crust of the surplus to requirements at Arsenal this summer are all playing hardball
with Arsenal preferring to see out the last year of their deals at Arsenal which for Debuchy, expired next season, so that theyll continue to earn the
big salaries they are earning currently at Arsenal which they are not ready to lower to transfer to any
club that want to sign any of them this summer.
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...
There is no doubt that Bale needs to get the hell out of Real if he ever wants to be the kind of player he once was... this isn't to suggest that he his skills have diminished, he simply isn't the fiery, determined and aggressive player that struck fear in the hearts of his opponents... the small fish in a
big pond just doesn't fit his profile... I can't even remember the last player I've seen who has become so invisible on the
big stage (maybe Pogba last year)... maybe it's a case of culture shock or maybe he wasn't able to handle the notoriety that invariably came
with his
big money signing, but regardless of how it happened this guy is a shadow of his former self... although I doubt he would ever come to a team in
such disarray, he could quite easily fill the shoes of Sanchez, who ironically was in a similar predicament in Barcelona, as Bale would return to his favoured left side and would be given the same freedoms that have allowed Sanchez to flourish... ultimately I think the cache of wearing a Real jersey and competing for the top trophies would be too difficult to give up for a wannabe
club run by suits who care little about those kinds of accolades
not the fans.Other
clubs would not put up
with this why should we, i would understand if we were not
such a
big club without being able to spend
big amounts of money and not having that
big club feel but we are.
A scenario like this comes to happen when you make a person
bigger than the
club, and now we are forced to live
with the consequence of
such idiotic worshipping
This has not gone down well
with everyone in the dressing room, however,
with bigger names and more experienced figures said to be «baffled» at being overlooked for the role, particularly as many felt Shaw was far more likely to actually leave the
club in the next transfer window rather than be trusted
with such an important role.
Personally I would be amazed if we break our wage structure by
such a large margin, although it may seem obvious that if we want to keep pace
with the
big boys then we have to match the wages that stars if they go elsewhere, especially as we are a
club that doesn't really win too many trophies.
Replacing Wenger
with the wrong man could make things much worse for the
club and so this is a decision that they really need to get right and
with the Prof said to have
such a huge role at the
club he is supposedly set to have a
big say in who will replace him, and I wonder if his former star striker and
club legend Thierry Henry is being groomed for the role.
The Gunners, meanwhile, have also been linked
with a move for Borussia Dortmund forward Pierre - Emerick Aubameyang for # 28.7 m (via the Daily Mail) and this report of
such a
big asking price for Higuain could mean an end in the interest from Premier League
clubs.
With the
club spending
big on these three deals, wide - men
such as Nani and Wilfried Zaha could be set for summer exits, which would in turn make Depay first choice out wide for the Red Devils.
It's even more upsetting because I think our away support is one of the best in the league, I think that creating a standing section might give true gunners a better chance to go and support the team
with lower priced tickets but tbh we need to voice these opinions at the
club because for
such a
big stadium we produce
such a quiet and unintimidating atmosphere
Even if Roma persist
with his compatriot, Szczesny, a move to a
bigger club,
such as West Ham, should come his way soon.
I do nt see why us the arsenal, the arsenal of yesterday, today the future should be drag threw this ordeal, this
club belongs to us and no know is
bigger than our arsenal.The board of arsenal are also held accountable for
such failure, its no use saying wenger will get more money because the problem is
with the manager and those board members
with greed for wealth.
Liverpool are not the
biggest club in England; yes, the
club has an immense history, rivalled only by Manchester United, but that counts for little now; there is no rule ensuring teams
with great history will always continue to do so, we need only look at fallen giants,
such as Leeds United, Nottingham Forest, or Aston Villa to see that; only teams
with immense financial and corporate power can sustain success, through investment that other
clubs can not — this is the model that Real Madrid adopted, and so too have Manchester United recently.
With global supporters for the
biggest football
clubs,
such as Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal and
such a wide array of superstars playing in the Barclays Premier League,
such as Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie, Frank Lampard, Luis Suarez and Emmanuel Adebayor, who wouldn't want to select some Premiership stars in their starting fantasy eleven?
