christ I hope these rumours linking us with cleverley are a late april fool

telling state on Man Utd's midfield from MOTD

carrick 0 assists 0 through passes
fellani 0 assists 0 through passes
cleverley 0 assists 0 through passes

please some one tell me its a sh** joke by the press cause I for one don't want him

I think they are taking the micky. We are after a striker and we are being linked to danny welbeck, blimey if we get him, we are in trouble.

Bow Locks. United score a penalty. Rooney. Personally I think Young tripped over his own feet.

{Ed007's Note - Well it's a good job Welbeck was brought down.}

ED 7
on welsh tv it was a dive.
Reminded me of Marodonas header against england, pmsl

{Ed007's Note - Since when did they have TV's in Wales, do they run on coal or wool? Ashley Young wasn't even on the park when the penalty was given.}

Sorry I meant Welbeck you knew that. LOL. Anyhow he still fell over himself.

Just watching the Manchester United v Norwich game on TV. I was thinking how boring Saturday and Sundays are when Arsenal are not playing.Mind you Rooney always gives me a laugh! How much! £300 K a week! For what?

GOLDIE
i was out in manchester and a sexy looking slim fit gorgous, blond said fancy some company, £50.
i walked on
then this fat old trolop, everything going south, bar her fag smoke, said fancy company£300.
then I thought that's why rooney needs £300k

Roberto Martinez "I expect arsenal to slip up in the race for 4th."

Everton 0-2 Southampton.

Awkward.

AKIE
I agree with him.but not as badly as they will slip up.lol
Today should know as shake a saints hand day

Im pleased Everton lost. Martinez's comments were odd and a tad disrespectful. We need to win our 2 home matches against Newcastle & WBA to secure a top four finish and round it off with a win in the cup final.

{Ed025's Note - wee im not robbie.. :(

Southampton did us a favour and gave us some nice breathing space, I know your gutted Ed but no matter what happens in the next couple of weeks you've had a fantastic first season with Martinez mate

So its decided Arsene stays, he has publicly given his word and that's as good as signing a contract.
I'm glad its sorted one way or the other and now hope Arsene finally spends the money he has helped the club accumulate, I the first of a few great signings will be bringing Cesc home closely follwded by sorting out Sagna a deal that makes him want to stay

Gunner, I know you are a wenger in man, although you did wobble badly. I just ask you the question, is it really a good thing we have a manager, who does seem to be struggling to improve our situation. I personally can't forgive him for the hammerings this season and seasons past now and for me that is something that will come back again, the way he sends the team out to play. I personally think we have missed the chance to progess with new ideas and i'm am really really worried for arsenal football club. Every thing is all too comfortable and that is very very worrying.

Steve all your points are very valid mate, yes my heart does say Arsene and yes my head has and does continue to question my hearts judgement.
In reality after all these years the question mark hanging over Arsene is bigger than ever, I'm hoping for a very happy ending and for my heart to win the day Steve but I respect your reasons for not feeling the same way, very much so

We all hope for our team to be successful, that goes without saying and I hope we manage to win the fa cup. I still do hope we finish 2nd 3rd or 4th in that order, you never know. I think liverpool will find it tough next year to repeat, this season, but his philosophy is refreshing. Maureen hiho well, he is love him or loathe him a winner who has wenger for toast full stop. Pelligrini for me is falable and I think he might find the going tough next year, but they
have money. Man u won't accept being where they are, they can't afford not to bounce back. Will we compete with the same attitude towards transfers we have or will we struggle again because we won't pay the price and players see we don't have the same ambition. I will say this though to you with loads of respect, I don't want cesc back, unless we (unlikely) swap ozil. We need a different type of midfielder and we will end up trying to play ozil cazorla wilshire ramsy cesc all in the same team and it won't work. I also think we should not go back go forward, most players are a better success the first time round.

Just another little footnote. I used to go and watch the team in the 70s to 90s but the last 12 years I have nt managed to get. With keeping wenger, I don't think he is going to get much slack from supporters as as far as mistakes are concerned and that may turn out to be a problem as far as patience is concerned. I have seen the fans getting hostile towards him and that will be there under the surface and would not be a positive impact.

I think Wilshere and Carzola are sqaud players if we are to be successful, .
Ox Ramsey a top quality DM player Cesc Ozil

Id take that and be more than confident.
Flamini Wilshere Carzola Rosicky fighting for a game, I'd fancy our chances

Steve
I don't know where cesc would fit in.We seem strong in that position, but if he came back then I would be happy but think we would need to shift someone.
But on wenger I think he is our best option right now.Man utd seem to have quite a few managers saying their happy where they are.so I don't know who would be (our wenger out bridgade) choice
Please let me know who you think would realicticly want.
Cheers

Its pretty academic now Welsh mate, Arsene's staying, so be us anti pro or uncertain Arsene will be in charge next season and we all wish him every success, ie CL Pl and the odd cup too

Welsh, my problem is with wenger, he is outdated now with his philosophy, not his vision. I know ( stubbornly ) how he thinks a team sholud play and his vision for how a club should be run. Its how he goes about winning football matches and types of players that's falable. Can I be honest, all the obvious candidates mentioned earlier on these pages ( under 50 )would suit. I think the club needs a different manager with new ideas. All the top progressive teams through out europe have young progressive managers now, or at least not coming up to pension age. We are going to be left behind with our comfortable ideas.

Welsh, my problem with wenger isn't his managerial skill its his tactical, blindness inability, or what ever you would call it and I think a manager who studies the opposition and has the ability to turn bad games round and can cope with all the difffernt styles thrown at you would be a massive boost to our players and performances.

62
yes your right as usuall
Today is a good day
won my golf
saints beat everton.ands mrs WG is in the bath, lol

{Ed025's Note - sheep dip?.. :)

Steve I agree to some exstent what yr saying, I get frustrated and think, christ why is he doing that, but he sees the players every day, I don't think a manager watches more football then wenger,
He needs to go out and get some top quality, But what he has done has simply been amazing .
But now is the time to move forward.
Liverpool will get raided buy some clubs, this year like we used to.
For me he is the best that's out their at the moment, and I think manager will want to come to arsenal after wenger, because of the trust and suport they show
Wenger once said he had been offered more money to go to real madrid, but why go to a club that changes their managers every 12 monthes.
Eds
is it true wenger turned down a wage rise

Ed025, that made me chuckle

Ok we have been seeing a lot of posts about Diaby and a good thought provoking question was posted asking whether we would be happy to let him now go due to his non stop injuries. With Jack being a similar scenario what's the feeling on that too.? and why.

Goldie
Good question
For me I would keep diaby.whats his sell on value, A lot of french managers see a lot in him, Why i'm not sure, but I feel he owes us.
Jack, well its a no branner, why sell on what could be one of the best young midfielders in years to come.so keep him

I think the best way to answer the question about Wilshere is ask it in a different way.

Would you like to play man city / Manchester United / Chelsea / Liverpool with wilshere in their team?

I know I'd say no to that so like Welsh said its a no brainer. He's class and got many years ahead of him.

Jack or Yaya? Jack or Hazard? Yes please would rather face jack every time, Jack or Henderson? Debatable, Jack or Cleverly? Well jack wins that one Rocky .
To write Jack off is crazy but he still has a lot to do to live up to his early promise.

Well said gunner you miss jack or barkley. Lol. I like jack I just think injuries are robbing him like diaby of making any impact, I think he could always be unlucky, too many underlying problems.

Ramsay was written off by a lot of fans who said he would never get over his injuries With Jacks talent we would be mad to let him go

GUNNER
Mate.yaya is awsome, but I watch a few games and christ has he been lathargic.
Hazard for me he ain't in the same postion, he is more like ozil.
Lets all prey diaby comes back to his best, He is an awsome player .for me the next viera,, he is what we have been missing, if he is fit and back to his best

Gunner62

I didn't suggest replacing any of those players you mentioned with jack. Simply would you want him in the oppositions team.

Ill turn it around and say none of those teams would buy wilshire, you don't win things with brittle players and at the moment he ain't done enough to play for a top team especially in the prem.

Yeah sorry Rocky you didn't say that mate I jumped the gun a bit there ( missus is always moaning about it )
I think the point I was trying to make was he wouldn't get in those teams yet and I think he needs to do more to be a regular for us on merit.
He just needs to mature a bit sharpish if he's to become the great we all once were sure he would be

No I wouldn't want Jack in the opposition when fit. Of course not. But I don't see him carrying on in the not to far distant future the way he is going. I hope it changes for him but that's how I see it. Sorry.

According to some papers today. Looks like Wenger is staying. Personally I don't know how I feel about this. I've got a few mixed emotions. One side if me is saying "Better the Devil you know than the one you don't" . The other side of me was looking forward to something fresh to happen.

Goldie
Fresh can be dangerouse, look at man utd.i meen how many managers are say they are not intrested.if Lord Wenger was avalible I think they would have loved to have him
For me keep him and bring in two people
Dien to handle transfers.(keep ivan in his conting house)
And a young pretender.Berkamp (maybe)but then maybe bould should have a crack next time.would like to see him get of his ass and shout a bit

Calling him lord Wenger is a bit weird. no offense welshie

BILBO
im hopping the queen might take the bait.
i meen if you can have Sir red nose of man utd, surly it should be
LORD WENGER,
got a lovley ring to it
