The Arsenal FC-Related News & Developments for 2016/2017

[Coach]

^Chillax folks, is it really worth it? Wenger will never admit his errors in judgement nor accept the standard of the day as yardstick by which he should be measured. When success has to be redefined to allow one's inclusion, it says it all. But why the argument? Good men are lining up either side of the battle line, rather than steal from their audience, drop the handbags and take up a seat with a view. Joshua has set the standard for the weekend, can the Herd see that and raise him a big all in on White Hart Lane or the High Road?

Great educational piece. Have a read.

Arsenal are way short of being in the financial elite on current spending on wages. Just when they thought they were close, the others have upped their spending.

Arsenal must continue the squad rebuild but with more elite players whilst keeping their current elite players. Alexis is not my cup of tea, but can we afford not to lose him?

Losing out on Kante, a player suited to our system and proven in our league must stop. If a player like Kante wants to join us in future, we must pay up. If not, we will continue to be below the best.

Sorry, Waffi. Your wayo knows no boundaries. The board and AW are to blame for Kante going to Chelsea, so na dat one you dey tok. AW and his scouts are to blame for Kante going to Leicester in the first place. That other people spend more than we do should not preclude intelligent scouting and catching potential stars early.

The most annoying thing is that I think Wenger purposely ignores these kinds of diamonds in the rough because he wants to stubbornly prove to the world that he can turn the likes of Ramsey, Wilshere, Gibbs, Walcott and Coq into world-class gems. Or maybe he chooses loyalty to them...after all, it never threatened his job until now. The man should go and sit down jo. Mourinho insults him, and we are the ones feeling the pain like someone has insulted our papa. But what does he do? Nothing.

Why do you guys keep missing the point?

Arsenal have been competing from a position of financial disadvantage since Wenger joined the club. Spuds spent more than us, Newcastle did, Leeds did and Chelsea under Ken Bates did.

But Arsenal have out lasted and stayed at the top while the others have faded away. Chelsea were saved from bankruptcy by Roman and we know about the others.

Arsenal thrived and grew because of the very factors like; intelligence, intelligent scouting, data analysis, building a new training ground and stadium etc etc.

Arsenal with Wenger pioneered this sort of scouting and bent work permit rules to get them in. When you guys moan, you forget the young players Wenger signed before anyone had a clue. Wenger led the way, not just in England. He brought the likes of Yusuf Forfana and George Weah to Europe. He gave them the status as equals at a time when racism was a problem.

These things are still at the club, the club is still innovating. The club is still looking at ways to improve, it is why they have stayed at the top end with the resources they have spent. Indeed there is a story doing the rounds of disagreements btw Wenger and Galzidis on the use of stats to sign players. Wenger does not believe 100% on data, he believes data should confirm what the eye sees and feels the club has gone too far in its over reliance on StatDNA - the club's svouting tool.

But the days of Arsenal getting them early are gone and the others being behind are gone. When you lot moan about Kante, you forget Bellerin. Arsenal cannot sign every young player.

Everyone has caught up. Arsenal must back up whatever it has with money because Sports Science has helped reduced the gap. Arsenal or any team can no longer stay at the top like we have without spending more on the team and squad. We got away with it for years, we even won Doubles and went unbeaten but those days are gone.

Arsenal are now at a crossroads, one thing I know is there is so much more right than wrong at Arsenal. Arsenal will not throw away the baby with the bath water. I am not the emotional type, I just try to look at the big picture from what I know and draw my conclusions dispassionately.

Peperempe opens the door, Klopp holding a window open. Beloved is back in the top four, someone tell Bayern to order the Vaseline.

Abeg no game thread ?

[Tunisian Gooner]

so fortunate to be 0-0 at HT, so many no shows, so poor off the ball. Arsenal won't get away with such a dire performance in the 2nd half.

[amafolas]

we will. we don't have an offensive philosophy, but all it takes takes is one goal to steal the NLD. We will win.

[kajifu]

Hopefully wennick a victory, spurs is good but we should take care of them. Alot of players have not show up in first half.I will not blame anyone but never like the line up Wenger set up

[tolahs]

AW's bad call is to have Ox play wingback knowing he doesn't have a lot of defensive support - He'll serve us better with a shorter pitch by playing centrally with Hector as WB.
Giroud is M.I.A!!!! - hope we stay solid & get some goals!!!

[kajifu]

A must win game before heading to next weekend game against Manu.

[Tunisian Gooner]

4 years in and yet another anonymous Ozil effort in a big away game..FFS Ozil at least maximize your effort if not your skill.

[Tunisian Gooner]

1-0 Spurs Alli.

It's been coming, Arsenal hve been piss poor all day. deserve no less.

[Scipio Africanus]

Oh dearie me 2-0

[Tunisian Gooner]

2-0 Spurs..Kane PK


Route is now on.....

[Ekorian]

Useless team

[Tunisian Gooner]

[wale1974]

[Tunisian Gooner]

Absurd management from AW on the day. Arsenal dire in 1st half and no changes until dwen 2-0......
