Vieira starts for Arsenal, bet ye wish xhaka wasn't sick now

I suggest everyone reserves judgement on this one. Get behind the team. Come on you gunners

I respectfully disagree that we should be trying something “innovative” for Wednesday or worry about goal difference at this stage. One game at a time.

Just
Fucking
Win

Whilst I'd agree ESR isn't a "presser", Vieira most certainly isn't, but it doesn't stop him appearing as a wasted substitute week after week. Can anyone remember him coming off the bench and doing anything vaguely productive?



Minutes played by Vieira;
West Ham: 5
Liverpool: 0
Leeds: 4
Palace ...

The point I was making rodders, is that this season city seem to be fixated on champs league and that they have dropped silly points in the league that they wouldnt have dropped in other years - had they not done so then they might be out of sight by now


I just don’t think this is true or at ...

We have 7 games remaining - I'd argue our 'seize the moment' now is akin to a tournament format

Well much harder to get where we are now than to enter the FA Cup but yeah that has to be the team’s mentality… it’s still right there for them so let’s see what they are made of.

If you want to go down that road you should acknowledge that this season we are only competing with a champs league obsessed city who are less focused on the premier league than in seasons gone by, and that next season there will without doubt be another 2 or 3 teams minimum that we will have to ...

Football is about seizing the moment. Greece took theirs in 2004, Leicester 2016, Wigan's FA Cup in 2013......they are the ones people remember forever, but there are many many more that don't take the chance. It certainly isn't inconceivable that City could finish 15 points clear next season ...

That would be my sentiment too - it would take a monumental collapse now to justify sacking him, and he has probably earned the right for another shot next season.



“Probably”… 😂. He is PL manager of the season and it’s not remotely close.

There is not a single football executive in the ...

We had a much better chance in 15/16 facing a Leicester team who are not a patch on today’s Man City and then genuinely bottled it pretty early with home draws vs Southampton and Swansea etc.

Then there’s 07/08 where we were actually on a higher points total than this season until ~February but ...

Any chance there'll be a protest march before the Leicester game?

NO, we won't get the numbers...and the few we might have would probably get attacked. We are in the final you ungrateful sods.

Shame but not surprising. I just asked as I'm going to my first home game in ages and wanted to take ...

Any chance there'll be a protest march before the Leicester game?

if you are a young player or even one who is established, would you come to Arsenal? Would you come to a club which is in disarray, been shelled by Bayern (again), and doesn't challenge for big trophies?

I think the biggest issue with this is; which young players have actually improved at Arsenal ...

I go to Paris a lot with work so have some experience of the place:

- I've found most people speak decent English there these days, at least as good as in Madrid or Milan; has improved a lot recently
- Yes pints of beer in pubs/bars are expensive at €7-8 (but lots of happy hours on); food ...

No. Financially it was a great move. We've got an enormous financial advantage over the likes of Spurs and Liverpool; it's just that our wage bill has been squandered on rubbish and we don't have a manager to make the most of the talent we do have.

West Ham and Tottenham are just taking advantage ...
