Arsenal Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2013/14 mod warning post #5144

We need a tough midfield reinforcement. And a good striker. This squad with Vieira or Gilberto and Henry or RVP would surely have won this league.

A fit Walcott and Ramsey next year will be important, but we shouldn't rely on that. Even if they're fit, someone else will be injured. Signing Balotelli and Bender (for example) would be a good summer, provided were pick up a few squad reinforcements of the Arteta/Edu/Eduardo type level.

OK i dont get all this hate for Liverpool because of a few internet forum posts, jaysus man up guys.
Personally if Liverpool dont win it [i think we will just fall short] id love Arsenal to win it.
You see i base this on the fact i admire Wenger,the amount of times he has rebuilt the team into a formidable force is amazing ,he seems a decent man ,they play good football,i quite like some of their players, --- you know the usual reasons why somebody would wish a team well,I dont base on what i read from a few fans on an internet forum.

Dont be ridiculous, ffs the EPL is the same competition its just a name change.
Its like saying Arsenal never won the league if the powers that be changed the title of the competition next year :rolleyes:

It was more than a name change tbf, it was a completely new division and if you look up the history of how it was founded you'll see that, but before you get up in arms, I agree with you, it's the same teams competing against eachother at the end of the day.

Arteta really has been shown up today lads. Really poor. He just cannot run anymore. Need a big response Tuesday night when we will even have less pace with Ox gone.

The point is Liverpool fans have some neck coming in here slagging us when weve been more successful the last 20 years.

While i personally have said nothing negative or slagged off Arsenal, all i see is a bit of banter going on.

Nothing will change with Wenger in league with Kroenke & the board all making their annual profits & bonuses.

Wenger is a gutless coward & should have fallen on his sword after the 8-2 shambles. But the cash is more important than football success to him!!! :mad:

Only Wenger would have the affront to sign a new lucrative contract after such shameful performances :rolleyes:

Your mate was making the point that Liverpool are a bigger team.
My point is that even though they have won more trophies they have not won the EPL over the 25 years of its existence. So neither can spout about past glories.

Something wrong when we fall apart so often this season in big games.

Chucky the tree wrote: »

No. We claim to be a top four team, and we have proved that season after season. There was a time when we looked like title challengers this year, and we said we were, but we knew when that stopped.

Liverpool fans still claim to be the biggest in the country despite having not won in the leagues in well over 20 years.

Yep I just think this arguing over whos better blablabla is pointless. End of the day its all about winning tophies and leagues this season I would say liverpool have edged us.

Based on what?

Turning down Munich/Madrid/PSG where he would have had endless cash to spend on any player he wanted and win trophies easily based on someone else's groundwork over moving the football club he loves into a new ground, having to sell gems he has found to make £30million a year, all the while keeping us in the top 4 and floating around the edges of winning a trophy while Man Utd can't even have a manager change without falling away to nothing?

Gutless coward?? GUTLESS COWARD!

Its just the arrogance of some of your fans thats annoying, its easy to come in here and slag when things arent going well. Its the one reason I wouldnt luke Liverpool to win the league, it would be like England winning a world cup we'd never hear the end of it.

Been following The Arsenal since 1969 home, aways & Europe, I'm entitled to my say just as much as any other supporter is.

Supporting Wenger & Kroenke & the rest of the clubs management is not compulsory.

Fair enough but are we any worse than other teams?

Meanwhile Ill just quote what i posted a few mins ago.

This is definitely worse than the 8-2. Shambles and we are even going to be more down to the bones now, looks like Kos is injured and Ox will get that suspension. Id love a crawl to 4th and a cup win now but fear this team will let us down like they always do. Days like this i wish i didnt love football as much as i do.

Supporters paying the highest ticket prices in world football whilst making Wenger, Kroenke & the rest very rich for winning 4th place trophies is what's embarrassing.

Even more so when supporters blindly follow the clubs propaganda without question. :mad:

Alright, we ain't going to win the league, but this has been one of the more enjoyable seasons for a while.
We started the season favorites to be knocked out of the top 4, and it looks like we have that sealed anyways.
There is still the FA Cup.

gnfnrhead

Thank fcuk we dont have to play any of the top teams in the FA Cup. We've been fairly consistent against the teams further down the table so we should be able to see off the others left.

Need a big response on Tuesday.

Totally agree!
If we win the FA Cup this will have been a great season.

Self destructed big time. The passes Cazorla and Ox gave away for first 2 goals was crazy! Ridiculous. Played into yerhands and ye were brilliantly clinical.

What's the bet wenger will still say we're still in it "mathematically"

As angry I am with him and his players I feel for him as this should be a big day for him but all that will be mentioned is how Jose was right and he is specialist in failure :mad:

couldn't bare to see Jose's smug git face after the match. Sad day all round for the club.

Good chance now for Sanogo to oust Giroud. Reckon he may start next few.

Spent €42million on Ozil and I expect one or two big names in the summer of the ilk now that we have been told we definitely have the money. One of them better be a striker ...

Very few of us in here do that.

Throwing your toys out and calling one of the best managers we've ever had a "gutless coward", that's shameful for a grown man.
Wengers flawed, everyone knows that, but I'm still grateful to him for what he's done over his 18 years in charge.

Extremely gutless.
There is something very wrong at the club I love.
17 goals conceded in three away games.

Griezmann, Bender and a top striker. thats how close we are.

Yeah, a proper DM to replace Arteta and a striker to replace Giroud.
Bit more pace on the wings wouldn't go amiss either.

Quazzie

The biggest problem for us is, that I honestly don't think there is a big enough striker for us to get. I'm not convinced by the list of candidates that was suggested the other day.

One of them needs to be a new manager, Wenger is past his sell by date, at any other top European club he would already be gone way before this season.

Other top European clubs change their managers every 2-3 years not reward them with lucrative contracts for 4th place :mad:

Alfred Borden

Wright, Bergkamp, Anelka, Henry, Van Persie...............Giroud.
There is our problem right there. That symbolizes the drop in quality of this team.

I really shouldn't be bothered responding to your ramblings but I'll humour you. What other "top European club" has moved to a new ground and had to make £30mil a year, thus preventing them from spending big to top players?

van Persie had one single good season. Anelka two. They have no business being in that list.
