The Arsenal Syndrome Every year, the same optimistic cries ring out around the Emirates at the Premier League start line: “This is our season. This is it. We’re going to win the league!” Trusty old manager Arsene Wenger zips up his oversized coat and leads the players and fans on another long, arduous quest for the title. Eight months later, the inevitable happens.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/item/...e&intc_linkname=vidclip_arsenal_contentcard10
You've got the bizarre situation of a couple of Pool fans defending their manager against almost total hostility from the Arsenal fans.
It appears that City's transformation into Arsenal is complete: flat track bullies that crumble under the first sign of pressure who are grimly trying to hold on to a top four spot by March.
Both teams have come to the end of the line and need a major overhaul. The 'new' more physical high-tempo pressing game has found them out and they don't fancy it. Citeh will go through the rebuild with Guardiola. Wenger and Arsenal? God knows. He's a man out of his time but there's little chance of him admitting it whilst they continue to win the 4th Place Cup.
If the mayhem on The Gooner board is anything to go with, they'd put Whinger on the first plane back to France!
“If you’re looking at quality then Arsenal’s quality of football has been superior” Judas. Pin it up in the dressing room. Get in a player from Judas' time and rouse the spirits. Job done.
Why does that #*nt think anyone gives a sh*t about his opinion? Also I'm seriously thinking about signing up to Arsenal fan tv it's pure comedy gold. Has really helped cheer me up after last nights debacle. Although I'll see how the NLD goes before I make my final decision!
Since it hasn't been mentioned elsewhere on here, anyone else keeping an eye on the proposed Everton takeover? Although the figure being quoted is about the same as certain clubs' summer transfer budget, Everton have been a well-run club for a long time despite having a shoestring budget and under constant threat of having key players spirited away by the usual suspects - so being able to keep their squad together, especially as we look set for another summer of John Stones stories, could see them challenge for European football and have a squad that can handle it.
I've always wondered why AVB preferred Gallas over Dawson for his first few matches - not least because it's feasible that we wouldn't have conceded those late goals that blighted our first few matches with Daws on the pitch, which come the end of the season was crucial as we missed out on fourth place by a single point.
Just seen the MOTD highlights and in the ManU v Watford match I note Depay (I refuse to call him Memphis which is apparently what he wants) "winning" a free kick, which ultimately won them the match. Did anyone else think that the free kick was dodgy?
He should have been born 10 years earlier. He had the misfortune to have the best part of his career coincide withv It was Martial.
