Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Just a pity that United's players couldn't shoot like N'zonsi, at least three clear cut chances blazed over or wide. :rolleyes: I was right behind his shot, it was a ripper.
Nearly blew it in the end as Stoke put Crouch on and fired everything at him.

That awkward moment when you have Chelsea next and they've only been a goal down for a grand total of 8 minutes over their seven previous away games. Scary stuff.

These players would be a totally different animal under management that know what they are doing! Arsenal are clearly a couple of players short but not soo short that this bullcrap should be happening.

I was mistaken regarding Wengers contract. He has 2 more seasons not just 1 to go. Will it just be minus 2 players when his time comes to an end or will Arsenal act while they have the chance!

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

l somehow doubt that Arsenal will give him his marching orders before his contract is up.

No its still 3-0.:D

Re: Football Season 2014/15

Seriously regardless of the result Arsenal do seriously need to take action. Wenger does need to go at the end of this season.

Re: Football Season 2014/15

Sorry, Poch has to be sacked. Spurs get booed off again. They will never win anything on this performance.

Soldado gone back to his usual self - can't score

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Great day for me with Arsenal and Chelsea losing. Bet that linesman is relieved tonight. I think if Arsenal had got a draw or win he would have needed some police protection to leave the ground.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I must admit I was surprised by how poor you were today. I wasn't looking forward to it but I'm actually disappointed with the draw.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

@ Adz. Am I right in believing Cabaye was tried in a DM role at Newcastle once which didn't go down too well. Was it demanded he started playing in a more attacking position? Would he be suited to a DM role or would you say a CM role as a bare minimum?

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30333981

Sounds about right.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

l see time has not changed your views about him then.:D

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Can't remember him ever being dropped below CM. He has to be CM or behind the strikers or it's a giant waste. He's the go to guy for the killer ball or a shot from the outside. We always had tiote in DM with Ben Arfa out right and Gouffran or Jonas on the left. Pretty much a 4-4-2 diamond wherever possible.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Thanks. He seems to have fallen off at PSG. Arsenal don't need a CM but a DM would do nicely.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Never been one to throw criticism at Arsene Wenger but the ending is surely in sight.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Yup.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

People have said that before. Wait for a couple of positive results and it will calm down again. Unless it really goes bad from here.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I wouldn't hold my breath. Arsene Wenger as Arsenal manager is done.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

The thing is football has moved on while Arsene Wenger has stood still.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

No it isn't. He has just been given a new contract. He has finished top four every season and won the FA Cup last year. If we pull enough results together then this 'crisis' will disappear just like the others ones did.

Everyone reacts to the immediate. Every week someone is in a crisis. The truth is if Arsenal qualify for the Champions League again then Wenger's position is secure.

He might go but things will have to get worse yet.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

His position wont be secure in the eyes of thee ever growing fanbase that are no longer willing to support him. Year in, year out his bullcrap comes back to bite him. Every.Single.Year.

The FA Cup was won in bullcrap fashion.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

But the fans still turn up, they'll be placated by wins and as long as we make the Champions League the board are obviously content. They make the decision.

Arsenal won the FA Cup. I don't think the fact we didn't win in the way you wanted, whatever that is, changes that.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Talking about the FA cup, the 3rd round draw is this evening, 7pm BBC2.

I hope we get Leeds, I miss the games against them :)

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Ask yourself how much do the board want to take from the fans? Money, emotional/mental stability, it has even got physical between the fans. Its a pee take. They are draining the fanbase and its totally wrong. Arsenal fans gave nothing but support and positivity to breed success when the stadium was being built and thereafter repaying. Its toxic in the stands because the fans are waiting for a return for the loyalty they have shown. How can the club continue to ask the fans to drain themselves. Its disgusting.

I was saying Wenger is riding out his luck. Its the board now.

No you're right it doesn't change schoolboy Wengerball entertainment.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I like drawing Leeds. Arsenal had a great game against them away a few years ago.

---------- Post added at 17:13 ---------- Previous post was at 17:12 ----------

And they don't care because the fans aren't using the only power they have over them - to withhold their money. Other than getting people in the stadium and buying shirts football clubs don't care about the fans. It's their club.


Well you were happy to celebrate it at the time.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

There is no real fan power other than just don't turn up, empty stadium. Ticket sales will always be there. Has the waiting list for season tickets got any smaller?

I'm happy the club won it. It's an awesome trophy. I just didn't like the fashion in which it was won. Arsenal are better than that.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Yes its quite sad seeing the demise of a once mighty club.

Re: Football Season 2014/15

They did, but I still have good memories of going to matches against them. I always sat near the Leeds fans when I went, its a great rivalry and a shame we don't see it anymore.

whats your gripe with Wenger... can you think of any other manager that has done a lot with the team with not a lot of funds to buy the players?

Can you think of any manager now to replace Wenger at Arsenal? Only name that would come close to my mind is Klopp (but he isnt doing that great in the Bundesliga)

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Why? he's not the one passing the ball about like...............................




err, Man United.:rolleyes:

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Indeed the buck stops at the top and at the moment Liverpool are playing rubbish and the ultimate responsibility for that lies with the manager at the end of the day.

---------- Post added at 21:04 ---------- Previous post was at 21:03 ----------

that why he got the red for

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Arsene Wenger has done some remarkable things in the past. I'm not going to dwell on them. Right now he's not achieving much. Do you know Arsenals wage bill? Do you know how far up it is in the league compared to other wage bills? Do you know Arsenal could spend more in transfer windows but don't because its kept for a BIG emergency.. you know like may be Reus will say yes to Arsenal.

My gripe with Wenger is he has neglected the squad for years. He hasn't always been cash strapped. He just feels what he has is enough. When he speaks of Chelsea etc. he goes to extremes. There is a middle road which could be taken. It doesn't stop there though. Not only has he neglected the squad personnel wise but tactically the squad have looked clueless far too many times. I'm not trying to paint Wenger as the devil here. He is still one of thee best managers around in the world. I just expect more where achievable.

This Arsenal squad is strong. It is though a couple players short. Year in, year out this happens. Its not down to funds available.

Arsenal needs change when Wenger goes. Not the same. A fighter like Diego Simeone would freshen the place up. He has worked under constraints in La Liga. I'd get him to start learning English sharpish.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
