Lots of footballers are loathsome pieces of shite.

I hate this last day of the transfer window. A massive marketing ploy by Sky TV, building it up more than it ever needed to be. Like everything in life these days, its all over-hyped to hell.
No, I said it depends on how we do in the other competitions.
The last 10 years are increasingly irrelevant the further back you go, the last 2 years when the financial constraints came off and we started spending money (not this summer, it seem though) are more relevant. How I think we'll do - Cups, well you can never tell in those so I'll concentrate on the league. We'll definitely finish top 4, I'm hoping for a proper title challenge. I think we're good enough although we should have signed a striker this summer and if we don't and we don't challenge then on Wenger's head be it.
I think the last couple of years have bought him some time, this summer's business - or lack thereof - is disappointing and if we don't challenge because of it then he should be sacked.Quote:
All in all, would you say the justification for retaining Wenger is wafer thin, if it exists at all? Or would you say he makes a good case for himself, looking back at the record and his current preparation for this season?
On the plus side, in 4 months time we can start a winter transfer speculation thread.
I admire you Letters (no homo). Your continual battle defending Wenger against NQ is admirable. As frustrated as I get with the old guy, he always seems to win me over, and this evening i will be pissed off that we have not signed a striker, I will soon forget it and get ready to secure 3-4th place. TBH its our place, City and Chavs are too rich, ManU too, so I just console myself that we are best of the rest.
18 minutes to go before the window closes and with his failure to act, yet again, surely the last 10 years are more relevant then ever? We've been here with Wenger, just a little short of having a seriously competitive team. But he's incapable of taking that final step.
The fact he's not going to be sacked today tells us all we need to know about the board and the ambitions they have for this club (by which I mean themselves).
Complacency and negligence - these are Wenger's two prime attributes in the tail end of his career. Sad but also very frustrating we're stuck with him.
They are just feeding the paper into the fax machine to PSG.
Zlatan is coming....<_<
Well we can only hope these players raise their game for a manger who has once again shown an incredible amount of faith in them. Certainly more than any other manager has and ever will give them.
Joel Campbell hasn't gone anywhere, right? :unsure:
Can he play up front? Like a new signing?
Also, who uses fax machines in this day and age?! Why is this all done by fax?
:clap: absolutely brilliant bit of business by our club and manager
We all know where we'll be at the end of the season, same place we always are battling for a CL spot, that's all we're good for and all that is just for money anyway, it's not like we have a hope in hell of ever progressing into the later stages of that competition, we're as predictable as they come, probably what they board like, they know what they're getting every season.
Was it Letters who said football is unpredictable? Not at Arsenal.
Twenty seconds to go.
Windows slams shut!
Nice one Wenger.
And it slaaamms shut.

Like a new signing.
Clearly there was no `top top quality` out there. None at all. Not one. Not one player in the whole of the world that was better than Giroud or Feo....
On the bright side - all that lovely cash, the most we've ever had. Sitting safe and secure in the deepest, darkest vault.
It seems that it's not over yet.
Brian Swanson has just explained that the premier league will slow a further two hours for clubs to do their business if they can provide proof & relevant paperwork that a deal for a player has been agreed and they have until 8pm.
Which means......
It's still on.....!!!!!!!
Every player we signed this window is genuine world class.
We can only hope Welbeck's injury absence has included his legs being replaced so that they can be controlled by his brain. Thus when telling his legs to shoot at the corner of the net, they will now do so. If so, I suggest we stick with either him or Theo up top, Sanchez & Ox either side. Giroud to only make an appearance if all else is lost. Would we not have been better loaning Giroud out to Hull & keeping Akpon. Don't suppose Brucey wanted him though.
