    I’m actually feeling really positive and looking forward to the start of the season. I honestly don’t remember when I was last eager for things to get under way.

    I think the club has done a lot over the past couple of years to bridge the gap with fans. I feel there’s a lot more transparency now and there’s quite a clear direction of travel. Fuck knows how things will go this season but I’m all in for it.

    Defeat at Palace is incoming btw…

    I think the overall coherency of the strategy has been crucial to bridging that gap too. When you can clearly see what the plan is, even if you don't particularly agree with it, you at least know where to set your targets and expectation levels. You can predict what's coming, how long it will take and where the bumps in the road are likely to be, and that takes so much of the stress and anxiety out of following the club. Fans don't like being surprised - they like knowing what's coming and being prepared for it. They don't like being made to look like mugs in front of other fans because they've set their expectation levels completely wrong - that embarrassment gets passed straight back to the club in rage.

    I am cautiously optimistic although I think we need one more striker. While Nketiah has shown promise, I dread having him as no.1 striker if Jesus is injured. I also dont get the call for Tielemans.. where is he going to play?! I am still confused whats our best XI with Vieira, Zinchenko now in the mix..
    Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..

    without a doubt we will lose that game

    of course Sky have put it up on a nice big plate for the media to feast on 'Arsenal lose to Plucky Palace' headlines as a nice start to the usual Arsenal-bashing media season...

    At this point I reckon we start at Palace with only one new player in the starting 11.

    Knowing Arteta it might even be none because "Eddie trains so well and deserves it".

    My feelings too. We have definitely improved, but so has everyone else aside from Manure so it’s not as open as it was say 5 or 6 seasons ago.

    Im looking forward to the season more out of hope than belief. I personally don’t think we have done enough to upgrade our team and I don’t believe Arteta and the coaching staff are good enough to improve us to the position I want us to be in.

    Still hoping for a right winger/striker that can get goals.

    Not sure who is available however now

    Good signing.

    We've done some great business aside from Turner who looks like a dud.
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

    Wrong - he snubbed a spuds fan so he's already a legend
