A few all too predictable quotes from arseblog this moring -
We signed a genuine superstar in Alexis SanchezIn other words it was a name signing and not a need signing which is something I have long since argued re sanchez and ozil
We signed another striker who, although he wouldn’t exactly have been first choice even a week or two ago, looks more and more like a very decent signing under the circumstances
Under what circumstances exactly ?
Is it because we start looking for one with just 5 hours left in the window ? He wasnt good enough previously but now he is ??
Midfield remains a bone of contention with doubts about Arteta and Flamini but I wonder how much those doubts are exacerbated by the desire for a new player
We need a new player cos they aint good enough - I like arteta and wont slate him like many do, but the reality is that we need a quality DM so dont try and disguise the fact by suggesting that it is personal dislike of arteta and flamoney
People ask how are we to expect to avoid the thrashings away from home with Arteta or Flamini, as if somehow they were the chief culprits in those particular downfalls. Firstly, the failure on those days was collective: the manager and team together have to take the blame together. Secondly, there’s the slight possibility that having experienced those defeats last season (the only season in which I can ever remember those kind of results occurring with that regularity), there’s no reason why we can’t learn from them so as to avoid them again
We didnt learn the lessons between the first game and the second game. We didnt learn the lessons between the second game and the third game. Now, by some miracle we are to believe that we have learned the lesson after the 3rd game ?? He makes that statement despite the fact that our formation and tactics are the very same as last year
we’re well stocked with players who, let’s remember, won the FA Cup last season and finished just 7 points off the title after topping the table for large chunks of the campaign
That same team that needed penalties to beat a championship side who werent good enough to get promoted. Thats the same Arsenal side that needed extra time to actually win the final. Of course it's also the team that were top of the league for the longest amount of days last season - yes I know that we ended up scraping 4th place but we'll ignore that fact ok ?
We've struggled through the opening weeks of the season, as I thought we might. We've played 5 games to everybody's three. We've had three away trips in a row and know that our pre-season preparations have been disrupted for various reasons
Ah of course, we are a month into the season and already we are fcuked from playing those extra two games
And of course we are the only team who had players at the world cup and had our preparations cut short
Really and truly I cannot understand how some fans can argue clap trap like that
