Yep, get it won then take players off.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window

I noticed quite a number of Macs in the Wigan side. :cool:

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Well done to lovely Wigan, it goes to prove that money cannot buy you everything.

Going onto the Spurs issue. I have been supporting Spurs since l was a kid, l am 62 now. Spurs have always been poor in the last section of anything, they try for.
I remember when they were going to sign Charlie George, Spurs gave him till the Monday to decide and he chose another club, just like Willian.
I am appalled by the decision to appoint Sherwood. Previous players that have also managed Spurs have all been sacked.

Sherwood, says that he loves the club, well he then must go back to his old job and let Levy bring in someone with the experience, and Gaal has that.

Its no good Sherwood giving his players a rollocking after the game, when Spurs went a couple down - why didn't he take off Lennon or Vertonghen and bring on Soldado - who is there golden boy.

Sherwood is a one hit wonder and has NO EXPERIENCE at running a big club like Spurs. Levy won't bring back Harry, Harry's head was on court business and also the England thingy, and we lost the points on Arsenal - thats why he was sacked.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Well you are big favourites now and if you can't win this then you won't win anything.

---------- Post added at 22:15 ---------- Previous post was at 22:14 ----------

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Wigan have just beaten City at their own stadium however. Arsenal need to be aware that this is a team that is up for it and confident they can do it....

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Wigan won't have to worry about Arsenal - they win anything this season.

Like the Arsenal of old.

I think that the surprise of the FA Cup is going to bring out a shock - Its Sheffield for me - why, this is what the FA Cup is - dreams, and the outsider is there.

I am going for its Sheffield for me, and dare l say it Chelsea for the PL title. And David Moyes to be sacked as manager of United.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Indeed Arsenal will settle for any win this season. Just like the Arsenal of old. The Arsenal of old who have won 2 of 13 top division league titles at White Hart Lane, the same amount of league titles, 2, that Tottenham have won in their entire history.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Come on Damien you need to be more positive when it comes to Arsenal.:cleader::cleader:

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

I am positive but wary. People are talking as if the FA Cup is Arsenal's already but it isn't. We still need to win two games and one of them, Wigan, have already beaten Manchester City in Manchester. They'll be confident and have nothing to lose. Arsenal are favorites by a long margin but we were favorites to win the Carling Cup. We need a strong team to play and we need to take Wigan very seriously.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Thenry, l assume you are a big Arsenal fan then. Big problem Arsenal have, they have a whinging manager - who sells his best players. And Arsenal should have sacked Wenger years ago.

And they have to beat Wigan yet, and they won't give up that cup for that crap that comes from the Emirates. And they know how to cheat big time, just like Chelsea.

I cannot esit for the next derby - so that Spurs can run riot.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Arthurs gonna be taken away by men in white coats. I loved the fact that last Saturday Samuel Eto'o went down as easy as Bale used to. And I loved that Verplonker fell over whilst attempting a shimmy in defence. It made a change from him falling over whilst pulling an attackers shorts down, or feigning injury. Please thank your manager for playing half the team out of position, it was a masterstroke. All in all, Saturday was a very very very good day :cleader:

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Sack him and adopt spuds policy of consistently appointing the wrong man, selling your best players and failing to qualify for the champions league perhaps, mind the gap Arthur

Bayern Munich v Arsenal (19:45 GMT)

Posted at 19:30

Fifteen minutes to go then. The mystery of that six-man Arsenal bench could be down to the fact that Ryo Miyaichi flew out to Munich but isn't eligible to play.

There are reports that the Arsenal management didn't realise that he was unavailable until they arrived in Germany... :shocked: From the beeb that was. I think Pardews first 3 banned games include a stadium ban as well.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Fulham, palace and Everton are stadium bans not touchline

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

he wouldnt have done anything anyway.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Be happy to go out today with a respectable performance and no injuries. Rather fully concentrate on the FA Cup and the League.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Third place in the league and winners of the FA Cup would be a excellent achievement for Arsenal this season.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

If Arsenal can be a little more sharper theres no reason why a game cannot be had here. Rosicky on Ozil off is Wenger showing he wants this.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

£42 million wasted in my opinion as he can't seem to handle the rigours of the PS.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Its his first season. Give it a rest.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Well he certainly could handle the CL with Madrid. He appears to have a strain of some sort anyway. Poxy CL. All I want from this game is no injuries and the team to be fit for Sunday.

As thenry says it's Ozil's first season. Look back at all the flack Giroud and Koscileny got in their first reasons.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Each of us have differing opinions and if some can't take that then that's their problem.:)

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

I doubt its an injury Damien.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

I think it might be or to prevent one. It's very rare for Wenger to make a HT sub otherwise. Arseblog saying Ozil was rubbing and holding his thigh...

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Personally l don't think he can cope with the physicality of the English game.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Den Ozil has proved he a quality player for Real Madrid and Germany remember premier league is the fastest hardest league remember players like Bergkamp who was poor first season then proved how good he was

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

No l am just stating that the English game is hard to cope with and many have failed to adapt to its rigours and Ozil so far has not convinced me.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Ozil is use to a winter break. He hasn't had that this season. Plus he didnt have a pre season. Plus its his first season in a new league. YET his quality has been on stage for all to see. Granted it hasn't been consistent or anywhere near his peak the fact is his quality has come through which is better than nothing.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Is something wrong with Robben? Poor guy seems to collapsing to the floor a lot....

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Arsenal were unlucky tonight - although l am a Spurs fan.

It didn't help when Arsenal conceded, and it was harder as the game went on - but Arsenal didn't show what they are made of.

It didn't help when the biggest cheat on the field - Robeen kept going down at every opportunity, and if that was a penalty by Robben, then l will pack up being a fan.

He went down so easily. but there again this is what foreign players to to get a pen.

Bad Luck to the gunners, but just think they could be out of the FA cup as well - what a shame:(

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Injuries have screwed things up again. Arsenal should be in the hunt for the title.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

It's not a monkey to anyone other than the media and wums, fa cup, league cup, Europa league etc mean nothing to the big clubs, it's all about the prem and champions league and this was arsenals best season to do it

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Not just injuries but also a failure to get two or three more players as strength in depth is very important when injuries and fatigue comes along.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

The FA Cup isn't the one we all want but it would be nice to win something at this stage. I think this season we've clearly made progress and if we end it without worrying about CL qualification and with the FA Cup then I'll be happy.
