£50 we wont get 4th?.

People may have seen Ryan Mason having to retire from football at 26 following a fractured skull. A storey that has come out from this is the support Petr Čech have to Mason immediately after the event and continuing since.
Čech as a professional is someone I am proud to have represent my club I just wish he was better at his job. It doesn’t change my respect for him.

Like an anenome swaying back and forth on the Great Barrier Reef ... make up your mind .

In your previous post you say we need ' a Spurs type manager " who can get more from the squad ......... okay sounds good
..... so why then does this same bloke need a large cash injection .

Some of the squad are not good enough or as I stated unable to change. I think even poch spends money. Did they not buy Sanchez Llorente Aurier under him. No one player in - Čech - for him like Wenger.

Trump wants to have a federal law that allows concealed weapon holders to be able to go state to state DESPITE what the state's gun law is. Apparently the NRA now has a perfect storm scenario. Legislature is Republican. Supreme Court has a conservative majority and a right wing, xenophobe in the White House.

Then, a kid in Florida kills at least 17 at his High School. You can't make it up.

I'm predicting a win for us tonight and spend the reverse tie with a reserve squad in anticipation for the league cup final. So shall it be written, so shall it be done.

We don't f////n win it and the Manager should tender his resignation. But what is normal at other big clubs has no application to Wenger. Conclusion - we are not a big club.

Didn't know that Ostersunds had an English manager called Graham Potter.

Maybe if they lose we could tempt him over here. In dog years he has won loads of stuff. I'd like to see Bellerin sticking his new copy of The Brothers Karamazov on Instagram.

Come on you Osters!

Hand on heart is there really anybody who wouldn't laugh themselves silly if we lost?

Thinking we'll finish 4th is taking over-optimism to radical extremes. To suggest we'll finish 5th isn't quite as barmy a prediction, but to say "5th at worst" makes it more barmy than would have been the case without the "at worst". Everything, in my view, currently points to us finishing 6th.

I would.

Not sure laugh is the right word : we've lost to minnows before .

Depends how we play , if we stroll around like we own the joint and lose I'll think bloody good job , we got what we deserved

.... if we play well and lose I'll just shrug the shoulders "C'est la vie " go out into the shed and commence building another planters wheelbarrow .

Wife's birthday coming up , last one disintegrated untreated timber , still have the steel wheel axle and brackets .

Just seen report Arsene has asked hotel staff to get him a bottle of Swedish whiskey ........ preparing to drown his sorrows ...?

It would be seriously funny but sadly about as likely as Trump giving back the 31 million bucks he took off the NRA to let them kill kids.

Welbeck masterclass incoming when he will prove unequivocally to the forum that he "is the least of our problems". The key to creating a winning team I've always thought

.
Just seen an interview post Spurs game Arsene's opening intro " Well the game was 50 / 50 possession ..... groan when will you ever ever ever f*** learn possession means nothing , zilch , zero , nada , nichts , rein .... it's what you do with the f&^^%# ball when you got it that matters .

When I see things like that I think this guy will never learn .

If Arsene stays into the final year of his contract then surely that would weaken Arsenal's negotiating power in hiring his replacement because like always in the market, Arsenal will be desperate.

Daz I think most of us would shrug our shoulders, let out a sigh of indifference, and quickly move on.

That's where we are with Arsenal these days.

Sadly I think you are 100% correct

Sadly I think you are 100% correct

Also a significant amount to do with what you do when you don't have the ball. Another concept that Wenger fails to grasp.

That's what I did against Tottenham where I did not want us to lose.

But I would seriously love it if we lost tonight. Sadly I cannot watch it because I'm taking my son to see Julius Caesar (move over, Hoy) to try and learn him that there are other things in life than football - a "treat" he seriously resents me for.

I have told him to imagine that Caesar is Wenger and he might enjoy it a lot more.

Yeah but back when we gave a *%^@ about it...

Bould as caretaker manager? No?

Let me have men about me that are fat. Sleek-headed men and such as sleep a-nights. Yond Gazidis has a lean and hungry look. He thinks too much. Such men are dangerous...

Are Stan's reasons for sacking the same as yours or this forum's? We keep thinking Stan would sack Wenger for what may be seen as obvious reasons. Stan may not (and I'd suggest most likely) deem those reasons sackable.

In current form 7th is more likely than 5th. 6th place for me has about a 95% chance of happening, 3% 7th, 2% 5th

Was looking back over old posts and I was saying in September we would finish 6th or 7th. I've seen nothing to convince me different from then to now.

As fans now we are merely passengers aboard Wengers exploding clown car.

Wenger is our Brexit and the stupidity never ends

So would I.

"LEARN HIM "..... bit arse backwards you've been watching too many Wenger interviews . Downunder we would have said " teach him ".

I'd just read that link you posted before logging on .... very folksy , ticking all the boxes , morals, ideals . attitude etc etc .

Not quite in your camp of wanting us to lose but if we were to ; the disappointment would be tempered by the fact ; such a result would be such an injection for people doing things right

.... and in today's world of football typified by that bloated cash cow Manchester City of obscene wages , fees , spending ... FIFA corruption .... that means a lot

Yes I was intimating that .... other teams crowd us halfway inside our half making it difficult for us to keep possession , we however make a couple of token efforts to close people down , then cede territory ,retreating to our to our "Maginot Line" on the edge of our penalty area .
The Germans found a way around that as do a lot of our opponents .

That along with EVERYONE back for a corner ... leaving us no target for relief ..... braindead .

“Learn him” was a joke.

Like at school “borrow us a pen, mate”.

Some teams can play in snow. US NFL.

He should of known that

Monreal !!!!!!!!!!! again ....................

Michi !!!!

2-0 against woeful opposition. We should win this 7 or 8. Don't see the point of risking the big players here. Get Eddie, Nelson and Willock on asap.

We’ll surely walk this tie but even after 30 minutes it is clear this arsenal team and their manager learn nothing. Same mistakes in possession, same huge gaps in central mid, gifting chances, still slow on the ball.
We’re winning 2-0 and it is still quite difficult to enjoy watching arsenal. That’s what wenger has done to us

It is just brainless football at times.
Ospina plays a short ball out to chambers who is deep near his own corner flag, he plays it down the line to Bellerin and suddenly there is a 3 man press against our 2, the ball goes back to chambers who hoofs it high and not very far.
We still cannot play against a high press against any level of opposition. It’s like Wenger completely stumbled on playing Cazorla deep and centrally and no he’s gone he hasnt got a clue what to do.

Last 20 mins we haven’t been in the game at all. They have been peppering our goal with shots.
You often hear managers talk about their team being ‘compact’. Arsenal and wenger don’t bother with it at all.

So frustrating to once again see a team who are just quicker, hungrier and more up for it than we are. Yes we’re 2-0 up but it’s because these guys are league 2 standard.
