What would you call the 6-0, 5-1 and 6-3 then?
.

Losing like that is not even Premier league standard. More like a ****ing pub team.

You rarely see bottom relegated teams get spanked that hard and even if u do, what does that prove? A team supposedly trying to so called compete with the big boys yet get spanked like we are some ****ing pub team?

How can other fans accept that?

See what wenger and the fools in the pitch done? Not only have the embassed themselves on the pitch. they have also made many arsenal fans across the board bicker and fight.

Cheers wenger. If you dont want to change your ****ing ways not bother signing a new contract.

Giroud

Had to go with giroud cause you just know he'll score against weaker opposition. The only other consideration would be fab but went with snez to get the confidence back. Would have dropped gibbs and played Verm at LB only for kos injury.

3-0 for me.

Giroud x 2, cazorla

Monreal at LB?
Can't see Giroud starting.
I thought Pod was injured for some reason!

First one is paywalled, second one says nothing new. All I could find was that some properties were sold at a 20% discount, representing a total "loss" of 4% of income, pretty piss-poor management if that was enough to put them in danger of administration. And last I checked the chances of a company making £50million profit in the last 6 years going into administration is pretty low.

Ahhh... I can't find it in a reasonable time frame, sorry.

I had thought that is was either the FT or SwissRamble that had it, but I can't see it on either.

SwissRamble, by the way, has great articles on the financial side of the club, and talk about our massive cash pile.

I thought Monreal was injured too? If not then he's in for me. Giroud will score I'm positive but can't see sanogo doing the business, goals wise at least.

Yup, seen it. Still doesn't explain the lack of spending.

the other 16 teams dont expect there team to win the League or basically compete with the big teams!

Can be looked at both ways:

The positive being that at least you've no worries about falling out of Europe altogether, being stuck in a boring mid-table adventure (roughly positions 7-10) or being stuck in that stressful & unknown world of a relegation battle.

Ye lads don;t have it that bad.

The negative then being that without supporters giving out about not being satisifed with results or final position, ye could end up on a slow slippery slope into mediocracy beginning with a season outside top 4 , followed by finishing 7th, 8th.
5 seasons later ye're in a relegation fight (unheard of).

Extreme situation put forward i know, but ye're entitled to vent frustrations, just remember how good ye have it

we are no longer challenging for the BPL and tbh never did so long as we couldnt even beat any of our rivals minus a home win against liverpool.

And you speak as if we won the fa cup. We wont. We wont even reach the final. This squad and wengers ability is pathetic when it comes to must win games.

masters of bottlers.

At least we will get top 4

Of course we were challenging ya fool! And as unlikely as it is we're still only 6pts off first.
Also I never said we'd win the cup.. But if we do then I'd count this season as a success.

And you talk about must win games like we've won none. I'd say every FA Cup match a must win game... But you're to busy calling our best ever manager "average" and "Pathetic" to see.

Are you actually for real?? Are you seriously not aware of the financial restriction we have been under until last year or just choose to ignore it to make your arguments more valid and yourseld feel better??

So what is it then?

Rotate players because they are relaly tired or are players lazy?

Which one?if they are tired and wenger doesnt rotate then that is yet another reason why wenger is an average manager

7pts off 1st with a game in hand

Spanish Johnny · 24-03-2014 10:37PM

Is there a certain irony in the posters citing the manager and players for a lack of guts and belief and character are the ones throwing the towel in on the league??

Do you think the players showed guts and belief last Saturday?

The cash reserves and the rest means we could've spent for the last 5 transfer windows. And that's without considering that transfer fees are amortised and that any short-term debt could've easily been handled with the new commercial stuff coming online.

Supporting your team is supposed to be fun, if I got this fckin negative and moany I wouldn't bother, way too many important things in life watching football is a break from it all

Jeez if the pool lads can still live off the 05 cl win then we should still be reminding ourselves of that invincible's team, at least until someone else achieves it (unlikely!)

I wouldn't say that means you lose your title of being a great manager.
As an outsider he's still one of the best, his big game tactics have been horribly found out this year however.

I don't think that the 6-3 defeat to City was as bad as it's made out.
It was only in the last few minutes that they pulled away from ye, iirc ye had 2 efforts incorrectly ruled out for offside and were unlucky in some other regards. The defence didn't perform to its best that game, the heart was there.

I think it was Skankley who said -

Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.'

Cash reserves couldn't be spent over that period of time.

They had to be there as a safe guard if income dropped and the club was in a position where it couldn't pay back the stadium loans.

I do. I think theres a chance we come out of the Everton game 4 points off top and we will win our last 5 games. Whether that will be enough I am not sure.

They need about £30million in cash reserves, they've got an awful lot more than that and have for a while.

Try last season having to listen to clownish fans everywhere giving out about Rafa when he was more than doing well considering when he came in and the ridicule he got from Chelsea fans.

What an embarrassment that was

You know or should know that is not true.

Massive improvement in Emirates sponsorship, about £20million increase per year, though not sure if that includes the kit and stadium. And rumours of an extra £10million+ per year from Puma. Been known for a few years now. Hell even last year they knew they were getting a massive increase in TV money. That increase will cover Ozil without even gong near the cash reserves.
