No dilemma there at all.....I'd be watching the mighty Spurs if they were 10 nil down from the first leg, the other game on highlights. Always, always my team before any others. Trouble with hudl older , Well the Gunners played well but beaten by a superior team who are undeafeted for 38 games , had chances but as normal we can't convert , Wellbeck , Iwobi and Sanchez were great but Ozil was a bit to generous with his passes to the opponents , but why do we every season go out with a fight , when in truth the game was over in the first leg , it seems the team or manager is happy to get plaudits for losing , strange but true even the fans including myself get caught up with it . really we should not be happy with it , .

stevieb Posted March 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Good win today Iwobi was great he seems to have no fear and at present is playing better than ox and Theo at least we have a plus for a change also Wellbeck is playing well he seems to be making up for lost time , just a shame we haven't strung enough wins together since Xmas , a little to late methinks , Leicester win again they won't lie down and deserve all the plaudits coming there way , they are there at the top because of their consistent form , and Arsenal have beat them twice , ,just been browsing the Arsenal links and found on you tube fans chanting today for Silent Stan to leave their club , shame he wasn't listening , of course he is never at the games he only bought Arsenal as a business deal not to win trophies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevieb Posted April 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Here we go again the media scramble for who Arsenal will sign next season , 10 out 10 in Arsene to overhaul the squad , blah blah blah , as a fan of many years unless we break the bank how can we compete , next season utd , city ,Chelsea will spend big , Spurs if they can hold on to their best players will be a threat , Liverpool need to strengthen and , Leicester if the big boys don't turn their heads with the lure of cash , . Surprise every year the same old fairy tales Arsenal to spend big , the cynical among us would say rumours leaked to sell season tickets , why would any top players want to come when the club is always the nearly men , flatter to deceive , still will support the team always have but I think the Club has come to the cross roads , something has to change be it owners , players or background staff, the club has to realise football has moved on in the Premiership , if not it could be left behind . 25 minutes ago, TheolderIgetthebetterIwas said: Keep him I say.

It pains me to say it but this season The spuds have been the better team , and still in with a chance of the league , with six games to go , the Gunners with five to go could miss out on Arsene trophy of 4th place , have been talking to several Gooners and nobody has any answer's to why the team can't see out games , the team has serous issues with the will to win , Sunday game was like a training match loads of possession but no end product , same old problems at the club , no easy fix it needs fresh ideas , Arsene won't be stepping down anytime soon , personally I think father time has caught up with him and he has lost a bit of his sparkle as we all do as we get older , he has been a great manager for the Gunners and he has changed the club from the training ground to the Emirates and the style of football they p!ay but it is not working anymore , most fans would welcome the old 1 nil to The Arsenal of George Graham teams at present , so frustrating for the fans at present .

True SSS they are a rich club both with money and history , but it has become a bit stale and samey each season take out the FA cup wins , it is always the priority get in the Champs league each season but not to win it money talks , Ivan and Silent Stan are all about the profits they are not football fans , at least some fans are making a stand and not watching home games is a start , then the club tries to put a spin by saying there were over 59,000 at the game when clearly there wasn't , Arsene says the fans should get behind the team and turn up but he should realise it's not the team that is the problem but the way the club is being run , the only way the board will take notice is if revenues drop on match day with fans not turning up and spending on memorabilia , food ect because that seems to be God the football is secondary to the hierarchy .

Mangle Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 It will be interesting to see what happens at Arsenal this year. I think a lot of teams are looking at Leicester and wondering what they did right. This will be going through everyone's minds, from the players right up to the board level. And at board level, it could lead to some things changing at some clubs. Whether that includes Arsenal, who knows? The Leicester team is not great in my opinion. The back 4 just stays at home, the two central defenders basically muscle everyone out the game at set-pieces (defending and attacking). A couple of really good players in Kante and Mahrez, who stayed fit all season, are always dangerous, and 3 good attackers (Vardy with excellent pace)! That mix has proven successful. I can't wait to see them next year in Europe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mangle Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Can't argue with that Older. I was mildly amused yesterday, all the fuss and palaver at Arsenal yesterday with the "protesting" fans. And the mild annoyance at a 1 nil victory over Norwich. From what I saw, Norwich were unlucky, and scrapped and fought for the entire match. As you would expect from any PL team, but especially one fighting for their league lives! So being an Arsenal supporter, I am delighted with a 1 nil victory, as it must have meant that Arsenal too scrapped and fought for the precious points. People are so hard to please. I listened to some of the match on radio commentary, and when Welbeck came on, Wenger took off Iwobi. What! Why! Surely Giroud should be leaving the pitch. Utter astonishment from the commentary team. Then I hear that Giroud provided the assist for the Welbeck goal. So thank god someone is in charge who knows what he is doing! ha ha ha.

stevieb Posted May 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Saturdays protest was not great , fans turning on each other spoke to my daughter and she said some anti Wenger wish him dead on Twitter , they are not covering themselves in glory , the better way which gave the protest more media attention was when fans stayed away and the stadium was looking barren in sections this will make the board pay attention as they don't like being hit in the wallet . At one stage this season I hoped the team could win the title but sadly they have come up short yet again , change is needed be it new coaches , forward football thinking board members , new players , don't see Arsene leaving until his contract is up , interesting as Mangle stated but the next few months will decide where the club will be in the future either challenging for honours or becoming one of the also rans just pleased to be mid table and having the occasional cup run , sound like Silent and Ivan's dream making money through the gate and not investing in players .

Mangle Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Well, we have been here before. Lost the first game, again, at home, again. Scored 3 goals, which is good (only Liverpool outscored us, and only Man Utd matched our goal tally). But we are alone at conceding 4 goals! Bad. Very bad. Look at the players missing.....Mertesacker, Koschelny, Gabriel, Ozil, Wilshere, Welbeck, so not the best start in terms of result or players out, plus more injuries with Ramsey and Iwobi. I am a strong Wenger fan, he knows what he is doing, and there are 37 more games left to get this right. But, it is beginning to look like a change in management is a preferred option. Possibly. We will see. I am hopeful that this season will be a good one, Arsenal have a great squad, and are capable, but could do with less injuries throughout the season, otherwise, I think it will be time for Wenger to move on........

Injuries have blighted our seasons for a long time ,. The players seem to get over one then come back and are out again , the club should have sorted a centre half quicker when they knew the time Merts was going to be out , I have no problem with signing for the future but we needed a defender for now eg Ashley Williams ,. Most fans know what Arsene has done for the club and he will never be forgotten , but perhaps time has passed him by and it maybe time to move upstairs and bring in a hungrier manager with some new fresh ideas , it will be a sad day when he does call time but the fans don't won't his history at the club diminished , also the board needs a kick up the jacksies perhaps Silent Stan will sell up and an owner who will back the manager to start winning trophies again instead of earning money for his ranch in the USA .
