Rambling through Sunday’s supplements and stumbled upon the following typo courtesy of the Telegraph:

Wolves have taken points off Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal this season and beaten both Chelsea and Spurs. Of the “Big Six”, only Liverpool have emerged unscathed from a meeting with the promoted team who look so at home in the top flight.

It went on to claim that few teams have been more injurious to the Big Six than even Bigger (presumably) Wolves. Granted they did spend heavily in the summer, 17 and some on Traore, if not mistaken. Outside bet for the United job, assuming truth in any of the above.

Belief. They are by no means the standard and Beloved should surely be looking beyond the meerkats of Molineux for inspiration, but for crying out loud, enough of the CREAM, make do with the pomade. Yes, there will be blood but haemorrhage, hardly. That ragtag line-up could’ve been set up to be a little less porous. All too Optimus Prime from Emeribe yesterday, have rewatched the game and remain bamboozled by the roles/positions of a number of players. Were they all subject to brenfag or were they instructed to play as hybrids?

Anyway, it is done, there will be blow back, both in the market and the next match. Onwards soldiers.

Soton, even Stevens with City at the moment. Ralf’s getting fair mileage out of the players he brought in from Red Bull, they’ve given the Saints wings it seems.

Five will do it.

Buying guarantees you won't spent most part of the season fighting relegation and sitting at the wrong end of the table. There is a limit you can get from average players and there is a reason why clubs who spend and buy the best players sit comfortably at the top end of the table.

No point salivating over a Wolves win when they would probably lose the next 3 games, home and away :lol:

I'm sure Wolfes have gone on 22 games un beaten streak and have more points than Arsenal.
Why do you look at single results as your measuring stick? Why not look at the overall result after xyz number of games.
I rather be Arsenal than Wolfes.
We like to use exceptions and small probabilities to try and make an assessment on a team trying to build long term success.
That's not how sustainable success works.

You must add quality. Be it at high end of tranfer market i.e VVD at 70 MP or Robertson at 8 MP, the goal for likes of Arsenal is maximizing resources.

Arsenal have been abject for sometime in that regard. Panic additions i.e Mkhitaryan, names with no succinate plan as to fit i.e Lichtsteiner, Kolasinac, Lucas Perez, paying top $ for extremely flawed players i.e Xhaka, Mustafi,. Not cashing in on assets i.e Sanchez, Ozil, Ramsey and Wilshere, 150 MP in tranfer fees alone flushed down the toilet.

Arsenal acts like a reactionary club, run in a haphazard fashion, the results on the pitch reflect that.

Point being missed, possibly. The argument is, though probability makes it less favourable, it is never an impossibility. The underdog can and indeed does, on occasions, bark loudest. Who would rather be Wolves than Beloved? None of sound mind and cognition, but their citing is perhaps as testament to the ideal that names on a page don’t win games. Victory is produce of the precise mixing of multiple variables. There are instances when the presumed most pivotal factor passes on significance to those once seconded. Beloved doesn’t have the players, so prominence must be shifted to the excellence of Emeribe.

While Liverpool invested in their squad, overtook Arsenal on wage and transfer spend, Arsenal wete using StatDNA to fish out the likes Mustafi, Gabriel, Perez etc. etc. When it failed, they got a new team of scouts under Milistant but still retained one of the American StatDNA scouts. One even sat for Emery's interview. Again, I have said all this here before.

I always remember a very dear and close friend saying to me, he wanted Wenger gone because he was protecting the those who are the real problem at the club. When Ken Friar, one of the Directors paid tribute to Wenger by mentioning how Wenger never moaned when they told him there was no money for transfers, I thought to myself, you creep. You all kept quiet when the narrative was the money was there and Wenger refused to spend.

With him out of the way, we can now focus on Kroenke. My man has just called me, he cannot wait for the Kroenke protests to begin. I must say, I cannot wait too. But first the fans must unite. Right now, too many Wenger lot gloating, just like the Wenger outers were gloating a few weeks back. We don't need this nonsense, we must now unite and make the Owner do the right thing or fark off.

you are now speaking from the other side of your mouth......everyone here remembers your support for kronkeke
what have we been saying on this forum years? first wenger has to go, next kroneke....nothing spoil, u are still clueless
You are still an id1ot. An empty vessel that makes the most noise.

I know it is hard for you, but try to put things in context, besides, I am not here for an 'I told you so' BS. Especially, not from a football ignoramus like you who has never one day written to analyse a thing about the game. All you do is abuse, and you know only too well, I am rough and ready for that too.

I supported Kroenke over Usmanov, that's a fact. I will forever choose him over that gangster from Russia or wherever, he is from that you supported. You supported Usmanov, fair enough, where is he today? So you are not in a position to talk.

As for Kroenke, my opposition to him has been evident here especially in the 3 seasons. The problem with a shark like you is you do not develop, you think others are like you.

Did I support Kroenke yes I farking did. Why? In the fight between him and Usmanov, I could never support a person like Usmanov. On pure football matters, we are now seeing Kroenke for what he truly is and he has long lost my support.

Oh! If you want Kroenke out, come to the game and make your presence felt. If things don't improve at Arsenal, it is inevitable there will be a growing movement to get him out. Are you going to be one of those who stands up to be counted or you just make noise here? For obvious reasons, I know you are all mouth and no substance.
:rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

see ya life.......if calling you out over your double talk is abuse, then u are a true snowflake..

you remind me of a village elder who knows absolutely nothing, but demands respect
simply because he is the oldest ignoramus in the bush

you write a lot of floor corner fluff, that is only worthy of a Dyson and the weak minded, who cannot be bothered to think for themselves....
since wenger left, i have watched you turn into a forum grinch, lashing out like a toddler who can't get their own way..

just because you have had a season ticket for the last 35 years does not mean you are Mr. know all and see all
you have proved time again your lack of inside knowledge and foresight......tbh i stopped reading your analysis many
years ago.....

start from scratch, ask brother aniks, yemster, coach etc to take u under their wing, teach u a few things....it's never
too late to learn.......peace :thumb:
I do not demand respect. I respect all except those who disrespect me or do not respect themselves. For example, your unnecessary abuse in your first post responding to me. Such abuse is disrespectful and I responded in kind. Now you are acting like I wronged you. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

I try to ignore such behaviour but the problem is, with you, such antagonistic behaviour is common and not warranted. Consequently, I will respond in kind. With you, it is a case of no quarter given, no quarter taken.

Your next response my post is revealing for it unmasked your true character. You try to defend your initial abuse by doubling down and calling me a snowflake. This is the classic behaviour of a sociopath. It is a real shame that you just stood still. The person who joined this forum years ago, from your posts, does not seem to have developed and matured in any way whatsoever. You are still crass, un-rounded, gross, grotty and grotesque.

Let me highlight your under development from your use of the word snowflake. When I talk about under development, here is a classic example of how you exhibit it. The word snowflake, is a word thrown about by certain type of nasty bigoted, racist people and there is a reason why.

Here is a brief history of that word and you might understand a thing about the word.
In Missouri in the early 1860s, a "Snowflake" was a person who was opposed to the abolition of slavery—the implication of the name being that such people valued white people over black people. The Snowflakes hoped slavery would survive the country's civil war, and were contrasted with two other groups. The Claybanks (whose name came from the colorless color of the local terrestrial clay) wanted a gradual transition out of slavery for slaves, with eventual freedom accompanied by compensation to slave owners; the Charcoals—who were also called Brown Radicals—wanted immediate emancipation and for black people to be able to enlist in the armed forces.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-a ... -snowflake

If you had taken your time to develop yourself, you try to understand why certain things are happening. You do not just copy them ignorantly. When you do, you can come up looking like a real moron.

No disrespect, but I find myself agreeing with John Clesse when he wrote:
"Snowflake is a word used by sociopaths in an attempt to discredit the notion of empathy." - John Cleese
Now it seems to make manifest that your simplistic and basic approach to football might just be a reflection of your holistic self.

A word, they say, is enough for the wise.

The 1st duty of any new gaffer's to tighten up defensively - on the evidence, Unai hasn't done that. We've improved our intensity but w/o the defensive discipline to get real payoffs. The speed with which teams can start with one or two balls & break thru our team is embarrassing. 20 matches played - 30 goals conceded - that's pub level stuff!!!
We give(i've been saying this forever) too much space to man_on_ball: doing that while attempting to play a highline is a joke more so when we lack speedsters with recovery pace back there.
Our 1st goal @Anfield pass from Iwobi to AMN speaks to why we need penetrative pace out wide - see the damage Liverpool does from that position.
All this talk about waiting to spend in the summer discounts the fact that those ahead of us in the EPL table will probably spend in Jan & the summer. ManU has the dept & quality in their squad to overtake us & that will be sad.

Just like it was too early to judge when we were on that unbeaten 22 game run, it is too early to judge during this bad patch. Emery needs the time and support from the club to bring in more quality in the squad.

Six months is not the time to start making judgements on Emery. We are a team in transition, this all started in the last 3 windows. Just look at the turnover of players in that time. Do you remember how many players left in the January window and how many came in? It has taken Klopp 3 seasons and millions of £, to rebuild his team, especially his defence. Do not expect miracles from Emery in 6 months.

I supported Kroenke over Usmanov, that's a fact. I will forever choose him over that gangster from Russia or wherever, he is from that you supported. You supported Usmanov, fair enough, where is he today? So you are not in a position to talk.

As for Kroenke, my opposition to him has been evident here especially in the 3 seasons. The problem with a shark like you is you do not develop, you think others are like you.

Did I support Kroenke yes I farking did. Why? In the fight between him and Usmanov, I could never support a person like Usmanov. On pure football matters, we are now seeing Kroenke for what he truly is and he has long lost my support.

Oh! If you want Kroenke out, come to the game and make your presence felt. If things don't improve at Arsenal, it is inevitable there will be a growing movement to get him out. Are you going to be one of those who stands up to be counted or you just make noise here? For obvious reasons, I know you are all mouth and no substance.

I do not demand respect. I respect all except those who disrespect me or do not respect themselves. For example, your unnecessary abuse in your first post responding to me. Such abuse is disrespectful and I responded in kind. Now you are acting like I wronged you. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

I try to ignore such behaviour but the problem is, with you, such antagonistic behaviour is common and not warranted. Consequently, I will respond in kind. With you, it is a case of no quarter given, no quarter taken.

Your next response my post is revealing for it unmasked your true character. You try to defend your initial abuse by doubling down and calling me a snowflake. This is the classic behaviour of a sociopath. It is a real shame that you just stood still. The person who joined this forum years ago, from your posts, does not seem to have developed and matured in any way whatsoever. You are still crass, un-rounded, gross, grotty and grotesque.

Let me highlight your under development from your use of the word snowflake. When I talk about under development, here is a classic example of how you exhibit it. The word snowflake, is a word thrown about by certain type of nasty bigoted, racist people and there is a reason why.

Here is a brief history of that word and you might understand a thing about the word.
In Missouri in the early 1860s, a "Snowflake" was a person who was opposed to the abolition of slavery—the implication of the name being that such people valued white people over black people. The Snowflakes hoped slavery would survive the country's civil war, and were contrasted with two other groups. The Claybanks (whose name came from the colorless color of the local terrestrial clay) wanted a gradual transition out of slavery for slaves, with eventual freedom accompanied by compensation to slave owners; the Charcoals—who were also called Brown Radicals—wanted immediate emancipation and for black people to be able to enlist in the armed forces.

If you had taken your time to develop yourself, you try to understand why certain things are happening. You do not just copy them ignorantly. When you do, you can come up looking like a real moron.

No disrespect, but I find myself agreeing with John Clesse when he wrote:
"Snowflake is a word used by sociopaths in an attempt to discredit the notion of empathy." - John Cleese
Now it seems to make manifest that your simplistic and basic approach to football might just be a reflection of your holistic self.

A word, they say, is enough for the wise.

Wolves have taken points off Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal this season and beaten both Chelsea and Spurs. Of the “Big Six”, only Liverpool have emerged unscathed from a meeting with the promoted team who look so at home in the top flight.

It went on to claim that few teams have been more injurious to the Big Six than even Bigger (presumably) Wolves. Granted they did spend heavily in the summer, 17 and some on Traore, if not mistaken. Outside bet for the United job, assuming truth in any of the above.
That is why i dont buy that crap about must spend crazy,i mean leicester loss only 2 games the year they wim the league amd it was against beloved.Wolves is fighting puching against thw big boys,no way wolves will allow themselves expose and make it easy for Liverpool, so many school boys error for suppose talented team.
You must add quality. Be it at high end of tranfer market i.e VVD at 70 MP or Robertson at 8 MP, the goal for likes of Arsenal is maximizing resources.

Arsenal have been abject for sometime in that regard. Panic additions i.e Mkhitaryan, names with no succinate plan as to fit i.e Lichtsteiner, Kolasinac, Lucas Perez, paying top $ for extremely flawed players i.e Xhaka, Mustafi,. Not cashing in on assets i.e Sanchez, Ozil, Ramsey and Wilshere, 150 MP in tranfer fees alone flushed down the toilet.

Arsenal acts like a reactionary club, run in a haphazard fashion, the results on the pitch reflect that.
Add Ramsey and Welbeck to that list in bold and you begin to understand Arsenal problems.

I think most people here are in agreement but are failing to see the point that those of us who are critical about our on-pitch performance yesterday are making.

We all agree that the squad isn't strong enough and Emery needs time to get the players he wants and impose his tactics and culture on the club. We also acknowledge the club is not invested enough in players. We can't blame the players and Emery for our current state of affairs.

Where we disagree is on our perspective of yesterday's loss. We all agree that Liverpool is much better than us and deserved to win and no one is implying we had a realistic shot of winning yesterday with better squad selection and tactics. But what I and some others are arguing is that bad squad selection and tactics resulted in an unnecessarily heavy loss. Why is it that we ate 5 goals while crappy teams can muster out draws or narrow losses to this same might Liverpool side? I bet even if we put our reserves out there and went into cowardly Mourinho bus-parking mode we might've only lost by 1 or 2 goals rather than by 4. Emery is not to blame for everything but he played a hand in that awful loss and hopefully he learns from it.

I don't mind losing against a better team and in retrospect I wont mind such a heavy defeat if it proves to be a catalyst to the club spending more money on players. Regrettably, we have suffered many such heavy defeats over the past 7 years or so which has not served as an impetus for more player investment. We're not saying to drop 500MP or to ensure all of our starters come in at the same price as Auba, Laca, Ozil, etc but we need more quality players and depth. We are too weak across the park and don't have any depth. We have been exposed the last few seasons and are being exposed this year because the level of competition has gone up. Our team quality today is not worse than those years we kept finishing top 4 but unlike then, we not only have to worry about Chelsea and United, but now also Spurs and City. We can simply wait for Spurs to fall back down to earth (which will happen with their own new stadium project) but that sort of patience is only worthy if our main goal is to be top four. If we really want to give ourselves a fighting shot at winning the league again then we're going to need to give Emery a good three years and a transfer budget of some 200-300 MP over this period. He won't be able to go after the world's most expensive players but would at least be able to get quality starters in the 20-40 MP range.

Wenger was complicit because he agreed and was a part of the problem. I have said all this many a time here.

While Liverpool got Klopp and Owners who funded stadium stand development via a soft loan, Arsenal were using transfer funds to fund 70m worth of their own developments.

While Liverpool invested in their squad, overtook Arsenal on wage and transfer spend, Arsenal wete using StatDNA to fish out the likes Mustafi, Gabriel, Perez etc. etc. When it failed, they got a new team of scouts under Milistant but still retained one of the American StatDNA scouts. One even sat for Emery's interview. Again, I have said all this here before.

I always remember a very dear and close friend saying to me, he wanted Wenger gone because he was protecting the those who are the real problem at the club. When Ken Friar, one of the Directors paid tribute to Wenger by mentioning how Wenger never moaned when they told him there was no money for transfers, I thought to myself, you creep. You all kept quiet when the narrative was the money was there and Wenger refused to spend.

With him out of the way, we can now focus on Kroenke. My man has just called me, he cannot wait for the Kroenke protests to begin. I must say, I cannot wait too. But first the fans must unite. Right now, too many Wenger lot gloating, just like the Wenger outers were gloating a few weeks back. We don't need this nonsense, we must now unite and make the Owner do the right thing or fark off.
