Thoughts and prayers go to all the people effected by the terrible event in London.

22 Mar 2017 19:53:11
Yes definitely. Horrible world at times.

22 Mar 2017 20:46:20
I echo that sentiment.

Prayers to the people affected. It's sad and hard to believe that it's 2017 and humans haven't evolved yet.

Yes it's horrible, I didn't even like the banners but this is pure evil. No place in our club. Let's hope and pray for the people caught up in all this.

Sad and terrible times people and such bravery shown by our police, emergency services and the public who were there.

23 Mar 2017 09:15:30
Couldn't agree more, an odious excuse of a human being does this in the name of what?

23 Mar 2017 09:25:48
I've got to join in with these sentiments.
After yesterday's events it puts thing into perspective.
One minute we are moaning about the performance of a football team then this. It's a sad sad World I'm afraid.
It's unfortunate but the fact is that we have all got to be vigilant wherever we are and that applies to football matches too. These sub-humans have no barriers.

Thank goodness we have wonderful people on this earth who run towards danger when it rears its ugly head. Always thankful to these people but as someone who works only 2 stations away from where it happened yesterday, and a regular walker across London bridges, I am even more respectful and thankful to them all today.

23 Mar 2017 09:52:42
Question then. Sanchez or hazard?

The Metro isn't usually shy in printing totally fabricated stories.
So when even it starts covering itself by adding the word "reportedly" to it's stories it says everything about the how much rubbish the media are publishing about Arsene's future right now and how they haven't got anymore idea than us about what's really going on behind the scenes at Arsenal right now.

What are your thoughts on this 62 mate?

A statement made by Stan Kroenke in March 2016 in the US. "If you want to win championships then you would never get involved. I think the best owners in sports are the guys that sort of watch both sides a bit."

The headline read: "Stan Kroenke: I didn't buy Arsenal stake to win trophies".

We need stan gone iv said it from day one.

Hi Stoner mate, I'm not sure i totally understand the first bit fully about not getting involved but obviously if he did indeed actually state "i didn't buy Arsenal to win trophies" then that's​ absolutely not acceptable no matter how he meant it.

But regardless of anything he has said or his personal feelings i still don't see what he has done to prevent Arsene making us competitive, in Arsene's​ own words he has never been denied anything he's asked for by the ckub.

What more could any owner be it me you or anyone else do to help Arsene deliver all he wanted to other than back him 100% exactly​ as Stan and the club have done.

If Arsene removes himself from the equation then the Stan debate becomes relevant, but as we stand other than sacking Arsene, i still fail to see how it's Stan who's prevented us being competitive mate.

Hi 62,

I'm not saying Wenger is not at fault but more that if Kroenke isn't striving for us to challenge and win things then that's what allows this situation to continue.

Wenger only needs to do what he's doing and no more regardless of whether he has it in him to actually achieve more which more and more of us now believe he doesn't.

I just want an owner, like Abramovic, who wants and demands success and actually loves football.

Hi Stoner mate
For me almost the entire club is stuck in near enough is good enough low ambition top 4 mentality from owner to chairman to board to manager to the vast majority of the players to 50% of the fans who are happy as long as Arsene is our manager.

I've heard excuses about the owner to naughty the stadium to the worst luck with injuries in the league to sugar daddy owners bank rolling opponents, some people have even tried to use the champions league participation as a reason as to why we come up short each and every season.

just because Chelsea are walking the league without being in Europe this season but they conveniently forget that 2 seasons back Chelsea walked the league while also going the furthest of any English club in the champions league and wining the league cup at the same time, i just don't want to recycle the whole excuse thing for much more than it was ever worth starting with Stan all over again.

I'm not saying everything apart from Arsene is perfect but i do truly think things will never start to improve while Arsene is our manager (sadly).

Ozil Sanchez are going to follow other players who just weren't happy with going through the motions with us out of the Arsenal door and will most likely find success with their next club that wasn't ever going to happen with us like RVP and fabregas and co did leaving us with an even higher % of players who aren't that fused about ambition.

It really is a sad state for our club to be reach in the first place let alone be looking for yet more of the same for another year or two at least.
I'm tired of the excuses mate and I'm desperate for some real accountability to be restored at Arsenal football club again rather than be a dirty word no one likes to mention incase it offends the members of the Arsenal cosy club.

Football should be all about excitement not excuses and i can see no sign of anything​ to be excited about at Arsenal right now and I'm desperate for that to change mate.
