Now that would be terrible !

Is it really a counter-argument tho? Isn't it more of a supporting argument?


Wenger is hands on but I imagine he leaves the money stuff well alone, other than demanding to know, bottom line, how much he has available


The thought of losing to the third rival in a row tonight doesn't bear thinking about, but on balance, he is doing the right thing.


There IS another question about is he getting the most out of who he has, but that's different from the consensus which is "Wenger should have bought X Y and/or Z".


We aren't broke but we don't want to spend stupid money on the one or two big names who could make a difference and come to England - so the two clubs above us have either massive resources or have massively overspent. I really am ok with that you know?

I think football clubs have been badly managed for decades and foolishly we don't appear to have learnt the lessons that some of the Italian and Spanish clubs had been given in recent years regarding finances. It's a matter of when not if more clubs go tits up.
Yes, we'd all love to see United go under. That would be lovely. At least then City would be certain to finish in the top six and Arsenal would have a chance of winning a trophy...oh no, hang on, for that to happen Liverpool and Chelsea would have to go as well. Back to the drawing board. :))

But it is an interesting mirror of the wider economy before it went tits up. The warning signs are there and the one or two voices of caution are castigated for lacking ambition


If the papers or fans take Wenger to task about not getting the best out of the team he has assembled, that seems fair enough


But the constant cry to buy buy buy? it just seems a bit detached from reality

Isn't there an element of Arsenal just going through the motions then?


I tend to dislike Arsenal less nowadays as they have less players that can really stick it to anyone. Arsenal reached an all time low with the attack on Ruud after the missed penalty but any Aresnal player have the balls to do that to an opposing player now? Lost their bite! How do you get that back?

Would not wish anyone to go through what we have been going through. Really could not give a toss about being a premier team or not - have had my day in the sun. Just want to have a club and go back to the days when football was fun!


9 days to raise ?11m.


Latest is a certain Mr B Fry to take over as owner / manager. Now that would be a laugh!!

Yes indeed, aren't Pool already in the mire, and if Abramovich walks away to find a new toy? If I'm right have MAnUre won anything yet this season? Are they likely to? Maybe the couldntcareless cup, but thats about it. Forget the Prem and you certainly won't win the Champs league. Oh well back to the drawing board.

No, I wouldn't agree it's going through the motions. There is enough talent on the Arsenal side and enough weaknesses on the other sides to make it POSSIBLE. Just very hard


That's the challenge and is hardly going through the motions


As for having players with bite and bottle - we definitely need more of that but when we had it, we were, as you allude to, much less "popular" - I can't get upset with any player giving Van N a go tho..


I actually thought at the start of this season we showed a lot more bottle - we were first into challenges and didn't shirk from the physical side. But we have lost some of that. I think we are suffering a combination of


1) every team has a slump during a season. usually

2) a particularly hard string of games. Boo hoo I know, but it coincides with #1

3) lack of winning experience


None of those things are fatal but #3 could be the worst and we could collapse as the season goes on.

Of course everything Sandpit says is gospel as is what most ManUre fans say. As far I'm concerned Chavski will win prem and Mancs won't win Champs league. Time will tell if I'm wrong.

I kid you not. I'm sure there are plenty of Arsenal fans out there that would have quite liked to have won the "Couldntcareless Cup", or the FA Cup come to think of it but of course Arsene Wenger and Atila couldn't care less. They'd rather qualify for the Champions League and still win nothing.

At least we qualify for it each year and as for Spurs, remind me, when did you last win the league. Spurs fans would celebrate a win against us as if they've won the world cup. We've not won the league since 2004, the other winners have been Chavksi and Manure, is it any wonder we don't consider Spuds as our serious rivals, and haven't done so for years.

Truth hurts eh. 61, never gain. It must be boring for you to face the each season knowing full well that you will be nowhere near winning the title again. I think you'll find your the one that's bitten here like a rabid dog old boy.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
