Tim i found it liberating to just do what the Lord wants you to do i work within his boundarys and yes i attend church and enjoy it.I love the people and i love hearing the word and worshipping the Lord even if
others are still bound up with traditions thats not my walk thats theres.My focus is to do what the Lord wants me to do.There have been times i have said no to the pastor he does nt understand why i choose not to lead the worship.i query him as well regarding the idea that its not just performing a function because there is a need our hearts have to be in the right place so that the Lord can use us but he did nt understand where i was coming from and thats okay because of that i just said no until my heart is right i am better not being involved in leading.But i am happy to be an encouragement to
others in the worship
team i havent wanted to be the leader i have done that in the past.So my focus has been just the singing and being part of different worship
teams i think the Lord has
other plans as the groups i am in seem to be changing at the same time i am aware that i do nt to worry about change as the Lord knows whats best.I used to be quite comfortable leading the music but that was before when i was operating in my own self confidence and pride.The Lord did such a huge change in my life that i lost my self confidence and that is not a bad thing at all as my spiritual growth has been incredible.The big change was my identity moved from me and what i could do to knowing who i was in Christ and that he is my strength and confidence.Now i know that without him i can do nothing in fact i am dependent on his empowerment through his holy spirit all the time in everything.In the weekend i was asked to lead the music at another church i attend multiple churchs although i attend two regularly one has services in the morning and one has services in the evening so the two do nt really clash.In the weekend i was asked to lead the music its been two
years since i did that and i was worried on how i would go.All i can say is that it went really well and because i stepped out in Faith the Lord really blessed the morning to the congregation.The difference is knowing that i serve the Lord with the gifts he has given me but my heart has to be right and when i do it in his way it builds up the body and it brings glory to him.May the Lord continue to show you what he wants you to do even though
others may not understand your reasons i just want you to know that you do nt have to pull away completely just work within the boundarys that the Lord gives you and do nt feel pressured
by others expectations to do anything that feel uncomfortable.Be involved just as you feel lead
by the holy spirit even if it is in a very minor way take small steps.regards brentnz
It was the third time in four
years that a Fisher
team has lost
by 30 - plus points, but whereas the
other two came against Heisman winners and good
teams — Oregon in 2014, Louisville in 2016 — this one came against... Boston College.
We should be in for the likes of Griezmann AND every
other world class player that fits our method of playing, Ive said it time and time again our squad is only half world class the rest are mediocre at best (yes I know Ill get thumbed down ect
by all the AKB's on site) but the results over the last ten
years are proof alone that we are NOT good enough to compete with the
other Elite
teams.
If you love the club, missing just one home game in the scale of things is hardly worse than sitting through 18
other home games (and 19 away games) witnessing the pathetic decapitulation
by our
team as in the opening home game against Liverpool (likewise we saw against Aston Villa, and WestHam in the last three
years).
IF «strength of the squad» includes Alexis, Ox, Ozil staying and IF they play flat out all season and IF either renewing or not distracting the
team with their stay / go drama for next
year a and IF the bulk of the squad stays uninjured the bulk of the season and IF Wenger actually shows some strategic sense on a regular basis and IF a brilliant season and IF massive screw - ups
by most or all of the
other top 6ish
teams we could still pull it off.
Did we not win fa cups what do you mean
by not a winning side would of won epl to if
other big
teams would of showed up against Leicester we were the only ones to beat them twice and up until last
year qualified for champions league how is that not winning?
but i don't think we will let him go this window it would send the wrong msg to the
other players who we are trying to persuade to stay
by saying we are strengthening the
team and not selling a player who still has
years on his contract
Come the
other year when Arsenal went the whole season without a defeat in the Premier League, Barcelona were attracted
by Marc Overmas and Emmanue Petti, the two joined Barcelona, they played few games, and sometime on the bench, as a result Emmanue Petti decided to go back to England and joined New - Castle and always regret leaving Arsenal, then the
other year it was Alexander Hleb, he was the best dribller in Arsenal
team, he went again to Barcelona, he was never given some games, I think he only played few games as a sub, and his carrier was destroyed
by Barcelona, then come Henry, he again went to Barcelona, he played some games but not like he used to do at Arsenal, he was not looking like a star player anymore, he decided to go to America, then there was Fabrigas, he joined Barcelona again, since he was one of their juniors, I think he played for two seasons, and supporter used to booing him, he decided to come back to Arsenal,
by then Arsenal had already resplaced him with Ozil, and he joined Chelsea, then come Alexander Song, he pushed to go to Barcelona, he was always on the banch, and never been on first eleven, then he ended up regreting joing Barcelona, and wanted to go back to Arsenal, but normally Wenger do not take players who pushed themselves to be out of Arsenal, lastly there was Vermuleen, he went to Barcelona and ended up not playing at all but when playing for Arsenal they used to be star players.
When looking at the jumbo package,
other teams for
years have burned the Chargers

In
other words, these are
years in which the losing
team would've been favored
by at least three points if the game had been played after bowl season:
There are NO
other teams in the league that have accomplished anything close to what the Sixers did this
year who had their best players be a rookie and a 2nd
year player, some of the
teams that Philly is most often compared to in regards to young talent are Minnesota (they won less games than Philly, Wiggins sucks, and they were buoyed
by Jimmy Butler as a veteran star) and the Lakers (most people don't view anybody on the Lakers on the same level as Embiid or Simmons and they only won 35 games this
year).
Over the last five
years, that would have resulted in 649.5 points for
teams in the six basketball power conferences (160 for the ACC, 136 for the Big Ten, 97 for the SEC, 88 for the Big East, 87.5 for the Pac - 12, and 81 for the Big 12) and 259 for the
others (led
by 45.5 for the A10, 42 for the West Coast, 38 for the AAC, 28 for the MVC, 20.5 for Conference USA, and 15.5 for the Mountain West).
Upsets are especially common earlier in the season, against non-conference foes (tOSU NC
team got beat at home badly
by a 4 win VT
team) and later in the season
by conference foes who have
years of experience playing each
other.
Today, conditions seem more fertile.Unlike the NASL, the 12th -
year, 13 - club MLS has seven
teams (and counting) playing in soccer - specific stadiums; four new national TV contracts; a countrywith 42 million Hispanics, many of them soccer lovers; a base of competitivehomegrown players feeding a U.S.
team that has reached five straight WorldCups; and a single - entity business model that prevents
teams from spendingthemselves into bankruptcy
by bidding against each
other for free agents.
You guys should stop call Wenger Mr.. He ain't deserved to be call mister because a mister will always stick to his word and never allowed to be disrespected
by his followers but not Wenger so his far from being a master not from the past 10 to 11
years when we the fans always being a laughing stock from
other club fans We tired of being mistreated all the time from Wenger we need changes we need a coach or a manager that can make arsenal fc a better
team a
team that every fans will love to support, a
team that will be best among the rest.
The process of developing a title winning squad
by buying one high cost component every
year, run the risk of failure when the
other players become disenchanted with the
team along the way, especial if there is not any trophies, they will want to move on to ensure they win something of substance in the best
years of their career, while this is being done
other teams will be finding the individuals needed to make a proper title run, some will do this
by buying the expensive players and
others will scan the various leagues to get a proper reasonable option to fill their needs.
I'm so sick of people telling those of us who are disgruntled fans to relax and give this club time to correct itself... for anyone who believes that taking a wait - and - see approach is appropriate at this juncture they should take a good long look at themselves in the mirror because they are a big part of the problem... no
other «big» club's fans would stand for this shit for nearly as long as we have... think about it, we've witnessed a changing of the guard at every major club in England, Spain, France and Germany in the last several
years because those «big» clubs failed to live up to expectations (Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern, PSG, Chelsea, ManU, ManCity etc...)... for some reason, many fans have become as fragile as our current manager, believing that there couldn't possibly be a suitable replacement, even though everyone of these clubs have found multiple replacements and still achieved far more than our club... this mindset has been created
by an organization that has been milking it's fans, telling countless lies (no world class players available) and lowering expectations every since they rolled out the biggest lie of all: that we couldn't spend because of the new stadium but once it was paid off we could compete with any
team in the world... this organization is rotting from the inside out and if we don't demand that those in charge put soccer first this despicable behaviour won't end with Wenger's ridiculous 2
year contract... I think the real fear isn't that a suitable replacement doesn't exist, but that this organization is so money hungry and poorly mismanaged that we will sink even lower
by choosing our next coach the same way they choose our players, on the cheap... even so, we need to see what mustache will do if left to his own devices so he will have to show his true colours... only then can we purge this club and start anew
In
other news, our
team seems to be rounding nicely into form, with a productive off - season and several new additions already settling in, there seems to be a renewed sense of confidence in the air... our well - oiled machine has conducted business again early this
year, so we can just sit back, kick our feet up and watch all those
other suckers scramble to make panic moves in the 11th hour... of course, we need to tie up a few loose ends but our
team of savvy negotiators, under the tutelage of our faithful leader, will perform their usual magic with ample time to spare... I have to laugh when I look around the soccer world and see all those
teams look upon us with envy and scorn as they struggle to mimic our seemingly infallible business model... thank goodness the powers that be had the foresight and fortitude to resist the temptations of the modern football era... instead of listening to all the experts and simply taking the easy way out
by making the necessary improvements on the field and in the front office, we chose the path never traveled... we are truly pioneers in our field... sometimes you just have to have faith in the people that have always conducted themselves in a respectful and honest fashion... most fans aren't so fortunate, they will never know what it's like to follow a
team that treats everyone in and around the club as if they were an extended member of the family... all for one I say... so when you wake up this morning, please try not to gloat when you see rival fans pacing back and forth waiting for their respective
teams to pull the usual panic buys, just say nothing and be thankful that it isn't you... like I've always said, this is why you stay the course... this is when the real benefits of having someone in charge for over 2 decades really pays off... have a great day fellow Gunners
Merson Wright Robson or anyone who has an axe to grind with Arsenal is at it I don't give a shit what they think I support th club and
team in general if they play shit we have had more success then most
teams Thy seem to Laud spuds but the fukers win nothing they won 2 trophies in 30 yeas but I don't see the media
others pulling them up on it like we had when we didn't win anything for 10
years There is definitely an agenda in the media against Arsenal and its sadly spearheaded
by ex Arsenal players So I say when they ubfairly attack the club and our existing players they are fair game for retribution from the real fans who lives be the club and will support it through thick and thin.
The Mercedes drivers were overtaken fewer than any
other team — they were only passed seven times between them across the whole

other teams as well.
We started
by getting humiliated
by some of the
other top
teams and this
year it has been even worse, as we also loose several matches to
teams, that aren't even good enough to be in the Premiership.
Arsenal fans are
by no means asking we give up on FA Cup — God knows we'll need it as I cant see us ever winning anything else under Wenger — but its the same as saying: Arsenal fans should appreciate reaching Champions League round of 16 those may
years in a row as no
other club has been that consistent — or — Arsenal fans please appreciate being in the champions league every
year as you are the only English
team to maintain that consistency....
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
I don't see how any true fan can be happy about the situation we are in The club goes backwards each
year but still fans on here and
other social media outlets think that the club are doing great, how can you be happy when we see the same thing
year in
year out, scrabble for 4th, get champions league place, scrabble out the group then get turned over
by the next big
team For me this is not how a big club should be run (7th richest club in world football) Why don't we act like it.
And the Lions find some
other criminally underused WR from a different
team and sign him to a deal that may even seem high at the time, and then, once he gets here and starts catching lasers from Stafford his career takes off and
by the second

When you trade someone who is immediately waived

For
years we Arsenal fans have been spolied
by the attacking flair, creative genius and great goals from our
team, but it is safe to say we have not been good enough at stopping the
other teams from scoring and I think you need this balance.
No
other team has lost against a

This

other friends of the program.
tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day to the last syllable of endless gallic bullshit....4 th place junkies wetting themselves over 3rd place finish should realise that
other teams will be strengthening in summer definitely the
others in top 4 and always a surprise or two outside... wenger has f @@@@@ us over for ten
years now selling top players and bringing in a string of jokers... yes that changed with ozil and sanchez... but giroud coquelin and monreal while all decent and can help us to another 4th place but not beyond that (coquelin could still be a top class player but ai nt there yet) walcott and podolski will never deliver and merteshaker would not be in any
other top 15
team in europe... so the idea that the squad is on the cusp of greatness is moronic and confirmed
by end of season performance... we need four quality signings but i would settle for two (attacker plus DM) and an upgrade (left back)..
Actually winning cups getting to those finals
by beating the best
teams in the leagues even though we lost one to the best
team in the league this
year is more than one fact and what the guy stated in the article is a host of statistical facts and we sniffed the league in 2016 every one but us failed to beat the champions that
year twice there is a host of facts that hold up success here an mostly ranting opinions saying yea we won cups and made it to finals so what, we did nt win ecl or epl only 1
team does that and
other than Leicester which we were 2nd only city, mu and chelsea have won since we last won so not many clubs do that and totten ham hasnt won a cup since 2008 we have won 5 in 8 seasons and been to 3
other finals
On the
other hand, an antitrust lawsuit brought
by a former cheerleader against the NFL and 26
teams was dismissed last
year.
this article typifies everything that is wrong with our club... if you had any balls you would have started with that Mertz nonsense, but instead, like Wenger, you started out pretending to be a rational individual only to reveal your true unintelligible in the final paragraph... I feel like you have never watched Mertz play except for in the FA Cup final last
year... how does someone help defend corners, crosses and the like when you can't man - mark, you have a negative vertical and you close your eyes whenever the ball comes in your direction... this was a panic buy that didn't make sense then, considering how most
teams were setup to counterattack us, and it makes even less sense now... he was well past his prime when he arrived, like Podolski, Arteta, Flamini 2.0 among numerous
others, and was used
by Wenger to trick the uninformed fans into believing he cared about turning this
team into a true contender
I think wenger has a chance to turn things around this
year if alexis leaves and build a young
team by getting lemar and naby kieta to join iwobi, Bellerin and holding plus the
other youngsters coming through coz we will never buy the top of the top players the way the market is going!
Meanwhile, majority owner Bruce Levenson plans to sell the

By 2016, opposing

by The Mirror, that his playmaker would not be back in action until the new

Let
other teams swing and miss in the higher rounds on tackles
by expecting too much from them in the NFL too soon and let us focus on poaching those high round talents a few
years later on for cheap or giving a few guys chances to learn and improve
by spending late round picks on them ourselves.
It is a worry that Tottenham just did what no
other team has managed to do in the UCL group stages for five

by pointing out that Madrid were pretty poor.
I» v been a fan of Arsenal for 12
years, when i became an Arsenal's fan, Arsenal didn't win the premier league even once and have seen Arsenal getting wrecked badly
by teams like Man utd and Chelsea, but also in these times i have seen beautiful football from Arsenal that no
other team can play and this
year's squad even without Alexis is the strongest Arsenal squad i have seen since i became it's fan.
We will be fighting for 4th spot
by the looks of it so far, which is a painful battle we've seen over the
years, but the ambition of the
other teams will make it even tougher this time.
Wenger f ****** up big time last
year by not getting ozil santi and jack working together my gut feeling is that if he brought in reus as natural left winger this could be a pretty awesome combo... Add Carvalho... And even without a cb I think we would be looking pretty good... 2 players and 50 mill... Still way less than
other teams have shelved out over last five
years... Have some respect for the fans wenger at 8 million a
year it's what should keep u awake at night
If Mr wenger built a
team who never lost it tells me he can build a
team remember a
team consists of 11 different characters with different back grounds beliefs and aspirations and problems with another 11 to back them up I remember
years ago the press used to talk about arsenal and not having English players on the field never the less I know off our own fatalities as such we were somehow always coming up little short
by injuries to such Edwardo vanpercie and even gas diaby ramsy rosiscky carzola and many more and
others that did nt seem to gel well I am not blind and I know we are not doing well but to suggest that Mr wenger docent have a clue is totally preposterous and disrespectful
Wenger's
teams of recent
years usually don't respond to the pressures brought about
by other teams going ahead of them on the table, or it seems even worse when they have what should be an easy fixture played after
other top
teams do poorly.
Wouldn't be surprised if a player of about his level is brought in during the remaining days to soften the blow / lessen the fan revolt at supposedly approaching this season with a different attitude but the summer window seeming eerily similar to most prior
years, dither / complain /» we will only go after true quality» as multiple such opportunities are seized
by other teams / etc.
