Arsene is starting to sound like a broken record at this point i think only empty stands can completely inform him of the fans displeasure at the Arsenal we have been seeing for the past 4 years

Arsenal 1 - 2 Chelsea April 18

Man U 1 - 0 Arsenal April 29

Arsenal 1 - 3 Man U May 6

Arsenal 1 - 4 Chelsea May 10

Who loses to two of their major rivals twice in three weeks and still pretends like there isn't a problem with his team? it would have been three if not for Arshavin's brilliance which clearly makes a mockery of his ludicrous policy of buying youth and cheap players the first step to turning things around is to admit his policy has failed snap out of his trance and come into the real and competitive world of football.Fans have been unduly grateful to Mr Arsene and he is pushing things to the limit

rasputinn:

A little digression here,Newcastle has beaten Boro by 3 goals to 1.It was quite an emotional match
With this result,they have leap frogged Hull(who are on a confirmed journey to the championship) and are ALMOST safe in the premiership,all they need is just 3 or more points from their remaining matches and they'll be sure of the GBP 13Million next year for featuring in the EPL

That's a great result. Next season promoted teams will be wary of beating Arsenal at the Emirates. If you do so, you will be relegated.

You should think up another use for The trophy room at the Emirate cos the room is completely empty.

Maybe an aquarium or use as a toilet cos I dont see any trophy in there in the nearest future

@dayo, well said, why dont you begin with the conversion cos i can see how many trophies u have in your trophy room

SWITCH SAYS

Arsenal is very much on course,  even with the so called small boys they are presently Ranked in top 4 in the WORLD. Like i will always say it is not just buying players that win titles but lots of other factors, there are many teams in the EPL that spent more than Arsenal this season but did not make it near the Top 4!!  By the way even Chelski that spent so much and with all the so called Big players has not won any title for 3 years Running, Liverpool has Big boys and conceeded 4 goals against Arsenal and Are not going to collect any title this season.   It is not the Ingridient that makes the food but How applied.  Arsenal will surely get some players but not like some Arm chair fans are shouting!!


WENGER SAYS!!        


http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/wenger-our-targets-may-not-need-big-cash
Arsène Wenger is only after “the right type” of players over the summer – and he may not have to spend big money to get them.

Despite defeats to Manchester United and Chelsea in the last week, the Arsenal manager does not feel his side needs major surgery. He wants improvements “in the right areas” but has ruled out a raft of signings.

As ever, Wenger wants quality over quantity in his transfer dealings.

“I don’t think the squad needs major investment,” he said. “At the moment I don’t know what funds will be available [anyway]. But I just believe we need to continue to improve. I’m not as doom-and-gloom as everybody wants to make it after a defeat.

“Of course we play in a strong league against top quality opponents.

“So we need to improve in the areas that are right. That doesn’t mean quantity - and not even quantity of money - it’s just the right type of players.”

The WENGER philosophy is Tight and a team like Arsenal that made it to where they are now with the so called small boys needs just to add that element that will turn the basal metal into GOLD, just add one two or three right players and the difference is clear!!
   GOOD FOOTBALL FOR LIFE!!

@ Switch

I really dont know what Wenger thinks he is, why will a coach differenciate between quantity and quality in the game of footall, methinks there is a thin line seperating them, doesn't he think he should get both.

Then i would also want to ask, what does Wenger consider quality and what does he consider an over blotted team.

Another problem is that, will he be willing to fight to keep these so called talented youths if and when bigger clugs brandish sumptous carrots as wages to these players with prospects of winning trophies if Arsenal go trophyless again.

He needs to reassess his policies wholistically to make sense of what he means by '“So we need to improve in the areas that are right. That doesn’t mean quantity - and not even quantity of money - it’s just the right type of players.”

You will need money to get the right type(quality) of players.

Seems another trophyless season in the waiting.

We all know your philosophy on football "enjoy sweet football, but bash chelsea at the slightest chance'

People being passionate about something does not mean they are directly involved in the operation of that thing. There is no monetary gain for fans on NL and no one is directly involved in decisions taken, what we debate about is the logic in which some actions are being taken about the club we support and how they succeed eg Wengers decisions.

For someone to go commit suicide because of football, it shud be obvious to you that that person has some personal self esteem issues.

We are passionate about football, just like you are passionate about telling Chelsea the truth

Arsenal - 08/09 Season Review

Right then, their season is essentially over with a 4th place finish guaranteed and no chance of a trophy in a cup competition.

So what went wrong for them this season? Did the mad scientist's failure to bring in an experienced centre-half and a replacement for Flamini effectively ruined their chances before the season had even begun?
Which players have impressed, which ones haven't?
What improvements need to be made for next season in order for them to mount a challenge for the title?

I am not dissing Wenger. . . . .

Just wondering where how things went tits up. . . . .
Last season, Arsenal were 4 points behind the league winners and we all thunk Arsenal had a genuine chance of winning the league this term.
This season. . . . . .They might finish 21 points below Man Utd. Something is def'ly wrong somewhere.

2004: Henry, Berkamp, Pires, Viera, Campell.

2009: Bendtner, Song, Denislon, Diaby, Silvestre.

Maybe this is where the problem lies.

People can keep speculating as to what Wenger does or what he will do. Like I said earlier, the power situation has changed within the club with a new CEO and a new majority owner The CEO gave an interview recently. . .

“He is not closed-minded,” the 44-year-old told a meeting of the Arsenal Supporters Trust this week.

“The idea that Arsène Wenger is some stubborn guy who is not open to having his ideas challenged and there is nobody there who can say[b] ‘listen we need someone with experience in the middle of the park or at the back’[/b] just isn’t true.

“He is asking questions of himself all the time and talking to people all the time. He does not believe he has all the answers and I see that as one of his strengths.

“'He is not someone who takes the easy route to protect himself. He will place the protection of his players above that.

“He is not going to go out and say ‘this guy is not good enough’ or ‘this is where we are weak’. He has the ability to make difficult decisions when they have to be made, but until then, he protects and supports the players he has.”

http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/gazidis-wenger-is-an-open-minded-manager

“I am not happy where we ended up but[b] I am pleased we are disappointed by it[/b],” he said. “There are other clubs who would feel this is a good position. Or we could say in December if someone had said we’d have been in this position then we would have bitten their hands off.

“So why aren’t we feeling great about it? The answer is because we have higher expectations.

“But this is not a situation where we should be over-reactive and feel that we are in crisis. We are not. We have a team with an average age of 23 or 24 that went to the Champions League Semi-Finals and is going to get better.

“Does it need to be supplemented? Quite possibly but it is a very, very promising situation for the next four or five years.

“So right now I think it is important to have some perspective and be brutally realistic with ourselves - but not only on the negative side but the positive side as well.”

http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/gazidis-we-must-avoid-an-over-reaction

With this man in charge, I am very confident Wenger will make necessary additions this summer - he knows the problem areas but he is not unrealistic that there is quality within the squad. We will likely have a better summer transfer season than we've had for the previous two years.

pick on the person that pissed you off, and not all arsenal fans.

@ DK

His perception of very far may be different from yours so it's a matter of perspective - I see no need for education.

If he said Bayern were far below Wolfsburg on points, then maybe you'd have a point.

Back to Arsenal matters:

One other rumour floating around has been quashed - Pat Rice is NOT retiring and will still be AW's right hand man for now.

Thinking back to 2006/07 when we had a very solid defence in the run to the CL finals (till the final when we brought in two players who had not participated much and then conceded) we had Martin Keown working on the defence. Would it be so bad if someone like Keown came in and became our defensive coach or AW's assistant like Pat Rice is?

I suspect our defensive problems are likely more coaching related than simply down to player quality (though silvestre is and will always be crap regardless of the coach )

That is speculation and a long shot though - Wenger doing that would be publicly admitting failure in that area, something that doesn't appear likely at the moment.

In some ridiculous speculation, Chelski want Ade? Please take him - no less than £25m though
