The Arsenal Thread XXIII

Scroll to see replies

When was the last time an English club was a dominant force in England let alone Europe?

United under SAF probably. It's a weak argument though. Just because no team is dominant at the moment doesn't mean we should just accept what we are and be content with it. If anything it means it's an opportune time for us to push on and become that dominant team.

Point was another manager doesn't necessary guarantee success. The fact that Chelsea, United, Liverpool and City with all they're spending hasn't really brought them dominance says alot. It means Arsenal have to be extra diligent in player development, training, management and tactics.

At least with Wenger we have a stability and a solid infrastructure we keep improving on . There have been signs of growth on and off the pitch at the club in many areas which give me hope the club can be successful regardless of who is in charge .

We'll see how this season goes I guess. We're more than capable of winning the league if the players wake up and start repaying Wenger.

Palace away is going to be an interesting one, if we drop points there (which is likely)....fuaarrck me things could get ugly quick.

Inb4 draw to palace
Inb4 loss to liverpool

I won't be surprised if we lose. Palace are a very strong team, they will make chances especially with their pace and dead ball skills.

A win would be a great result and put behind us West Ham's result.

Manchester United 2006-11

Brb 3 CL finals in 4 years
Brb unbeaten in CL for 2 years
Brb 3 straight titles (and it would have been 5 were it not for a Drogba offside goal being incorrectly given)
Brb 3 League Cups in 5 years
Brb 14 Premier League games without conceding a goal

You won't see an English club doing any of those things again any time soon.

If Zaha plays like he did in the previous Monreal/Bellerin will suffer

Hereford folded due to amassing a debt less than a week's wages for Rooney, do you think that's fair?

Of course I don't, but that's capitalism for you. I'm pretty sure there have been plenty of independent traders on the high street who fold over debts which are less than a days takings at the local Starbucks down the road. There isn't really a fair way to prevent things like that from happening.

So we've now been linked with cavani. I really hope it's true and not the usual newspaper nonsense because I rate him far higher than Benzema

Not buying it. Don't forget, ibra is still at psg. Whatever striker psg buys will eventually replace him

He's the player we need in this team i.e a cf with a high goal output. He gets impressive numbers from the wing and out of form. Now imagine him at cf while being in form. We need a guy who can put away chances in this team.

Cavani's overrated. We've been linked with him for 2 years now and none of our fans want him.
