Must be time to give Diaby another contract.
I wouldn't. Szcezzer was another player who was given far too much responsibility too early. Number one at 21!!! We should have bought a better goalie and nurtured him. Now he's waay too big for his gloves.Quote:

Not saying it was perfect but it was a big improvement.
There isn't a single footballing reason for shit like this. Even Wenger doesn't want shit like this. If he's the god of all he surveys, why doesn't he put his foot down? All season, every season, we have to hear about lacking little bit sharpness, the players being tired. So why fly them out to Australia and around Asia before the season starts? Rhetorical question. We know why.Quote:

Wenger .... :sulk:
How come Jack is fit and playing every game now that he's away from the Arsenal medical team?
Probably not getting kicked as much. Or maybe he's getting looked after properly. Wenger's squad management has been shocking this season. We're due to lose some key players.
Chris Wenger :bow:Quote:

Keep Chris get rid of Ty, never heard so much nonsense spouted from one man!
At least Chris has tried to do some good with this.
Giroud, Kos and Coq have all signed new deals.
Supercomputer predicts we'll finish 5th, maybe Arsene Wengers' luck will run out this season!

Why you'd give Giroud a new deal is beyond me, he's rubbish. Looks like he's our main striker for the foreseeable future.Quote:

Our game at the Bayern Arena will probably be like one of those FA cup games between a PL team and a league one side where it is one sided and is either a 4-0 win to the big team or a giant killing. cant say its enjoyable.
I used to think being out of top 4 we wouldn't be able to attract top players, it didn't seem to affect other clubs though.
Yeah I wonder why $$$$$$$$
I'm with you, I fancy a break for the CL, it's really boring and we know we're never going to get anywhere in it, would prefer to drop out of the top 4, make some drastic changes and then come back in a couple years excited with the prospect we might have more hunger and belief to succeed.Quote:

How long are their contracts for? He used to only give 30 year -olds a one year deal at a time.
i think there is at least an element of luck....it would be ridiculous to state that we have never finished lower than fourth and that it's totally or even significantly down to luck each time. But yeah in some seasons luck has played a big part.Quote:

And over this length of time it's clearly not luck we keep finishing top 4 even if on occasions we've got the rub of the green.
I agree with that, sure sometimes we've been top 4 and it's been down to getting the points and no external factors but a few times we've had the rub of the green with the circumstances.Quote:

Sometimes the best team doesn't win, circumstances lead to them winning (ref decisions/injuries/bad luck)Quote:

Also, way back in 2005 or was it 2006? I think Tottenham would have beaten us to 4th without lasagnagate. Bad luck for them, bloody fantastic for us!!!Quote:

Not necessarily now, because we can't afford to lose them right now, but in general because we let second tier players have such prolonged periods at the club.
It had Man City a month ago as Champions. :lol:Quote:

The general point is you basically end up where you deserve. And you don't keep on ending up there by luck.
You're the one with an underscore you dumb fuck.Quote:
