. It only doesnt make sense becuse you wont think about it. Every one of our players is an international of some sort mostly playing for top ten ranked international teams. To held your thinking, ask yourself which player in the Norwich team would you rather have than the Arenal equivalent playing today, Maybe the keeper Ruddy or 1 more, who else?

We can blame the players for leaving, it makes us feel betterm but I dont blame anyone who refuses to hang around for this shit. We could have bought Habdanovic 2 seasons ago for 10m, but no,,,,,that would be akin to buying success, something that Wenger hates witha a passion.

bang on.

it was only the other day i heard him say he wont apply for an emergency keeper even though chez is out for months (everyone knows it he just doesnt want to admit it cause he knows he fucked up in the summer by not buying a back up) and fabianski's out for the season. we're relying on our third choice keeper to get us through the season. so if he gets injured we're fucked.

thats not good enough for a team aiming to win trophies.

it all comes down to money, wenger clearly doesnt want to spend wages on a back up keeper even though its the sensible thing to do because he's a tight c*nt and wants to exhaust the profit maximisation model. why spend 50k a week on an experienced back up keeper when he can call up martinez from the reserves on 80p a week?

Which is why like the poster said its the tactics that are the problem not the players.

what have man utd fans achieved? or chelsea fans upset about the voting system over buying back their club? liverpool fans, well they must be demented by now.

how many fans have stopped going to those stadiums? packed houses every week. i'm sure there have been many who have stopped on principle, like I have, but not many in comparison. there have been small demonstrations about Arsenal but really what do you expect? fans continue to go because they love the club. not the board, manager or players but the club. as jelgoon also rightly said, there are thousands of fans who can only get there once in a blue moon and worries about shares and power struggles are the last thing on their minds. they want to see their team win a football match.

going to a game isn't analytical or based on discussion its instinctive and not just something most people just turn on and off.

Wenger is cheap, always has been always will be. In the old days when scouting networks weren't so developed it worked out well, nowadays though it rarely does.

You get what you pay for at the end of the day.

Dreadful.

He is out for about 3 weeks is Fabianski who is out for months but i get your point.

I think Martinez from the reserves should be called up. It'll make no difference mind.

Next week's AGM will be interesting. The pro-Kroenke blogs (we all know which ones they are) will obviously be under instruction to underplay any discontent voiced but I expect Gazidis and co to get a proper grilling.

Yes Theo and Gerv will have 1 or 2 good games but we all know they will fade away for a few more. Giroud well he is settling in, Poldi started off well but looks to have faded.

Santi well it seems when he has a poor game the rest do.

We have a captain who has not been at his best for a while. A keeper who is not focused enough and worries more about twitter then playing, then we have a replacement who is not good enough then we have mannone who is worsre.

We have a midfield that is getting exposed because we have shite like ramsey and Diaby always being injured ffs wenger :doh:

Our defending has been better ok so some has been questionable, but Bould has made a diffrence.

Like you said in the other thread. Chavs strenghend and looks what happend. End of the day you reap what you so.

We buy in jan then we may get 4th we don't we probs won't and this won't be the last shock result.

some good points there charlie.

giroud needs a season just to get accustomed to the league so im not sure why people were expecting him to come in and set the league on fire.

we relied on diaby again, and once again, it backfired.

we have ramsey in the team, who dare i say, is more infuriating than freddy was in his last season with us. keeps losing the ball and running into dead ends. i mean chelsea replace meireles with oscar yet we persist with ramsey. they even trumped on sturridge by buying hazard and they're reaping the rewards. he looks unstoppable.
