The Arsenal Society VIII

oh dear

Already have, consistent performances with minimal spending. We're still in the title race this season and IMO and, most pundits opinions, are more likely than Man City to win it this season. Still in the Champions League, Carling Cup and FA Cup.

I feel for Wenger, we've got so close to trophies but bad luck has kept us from winning. The 07/08 season is a prime example. We were nailed on favourites for the league title until the Eduardo injury and the penalty that shouldn't have been in the Birmingham game which just shattered our confidence. If Martin Taylor wasn't a complete idiot we would have won the league and probably wouldn't be having this conversation. Football eh!

This view from Arsenal fans is amusing. Need to get off your high horse mate, no-one really cares if you don't spend money. Is that supposed to automatically make your fans feel better? "Oh it's alright if we don't win anything, 'cause we don't spend as much money as the rest".

Went on there just now and it looks ****e? When did it change, looks sold out.

oh cesc that is ****ing disgraceful.. it wasnt a long ball game..it was their ****ing clearances which were booted so high up the pitch that with our ****ing high line which we always seem to play for no ****ing reason, we get caught..

Let's face it, if we are happy with the way our club is being run, no-one can tell us that we're wrong. No-one cares that we don't spend money? Fantastic, feel absolutely free to, but in exactly the same way, no-one at the club cares what Random Rob from Rotherham thinks.

There is no other option outside of changing the way you attack. When you push your entire team into positions in and around the box you leave a lot of space. What is the one thing attacking players thrive in? Space.

It might be alright if your midfield is full of energy and commitment but the minute they lose focus or breath the opposing team can launch an attack stacked in their favour. Much better to close the players down early to A) recycle the attack and B) kill the attack dead. Sure you slip up every so often but if your defenders back off till the final third there will be serious problems. Much easier to make recovery tackles with half the pitch to spare than 10 yards.

Arsenal needs George Graham and Tony Adams as defensive coaches. And if anyone thinks Arsenal will be boring again, well *******s to that. United are the next best footballing side in the league, and have a better defence. ****, Arsene himself built good defences. Sol, Toure, Cole and Lauren were miles better than what we have now.

How does it feel knowing that's the only (and pathetic at that) insult you've got?

Two words: Invincible season.
No other Premier league team has achieved it, EVER! You don't lead a team to a top four finish 14 seasons in a row without having managerial talent. Also, please stop personally insulting me for no apparent reason as it's undermining your argument. Thanks for the negs too, thankfully it hasn't affected my rep due to the terrible state of yours which is no doubt a reflection of your personality and the quality of your posts .
