No because people would moan at the shouting and swearing he does

I like how he tries not to swear at the start and then just gives in and throws in every expletive he can think of.

Surely the biggest problem Arsenal face would be in recruiting players that would be good enough to transform them into title challengers / winners. These players must be few and far between and cost ridiculous amounts to sign, and that's before you take into account the competition faced by them in the form of the other top European clubs would may also be after that player. Fans simplify things and think it is very easy and the standard of players needed grow on trees.

Despite not spending that much on players, Arsenal have continued to occupy a top 4 place each season despite losing some of their best players to other clubs. A lot of credit must go to their youth academy for developing players to such a high standard.

They are competing against some of the richest clubs in the world in their own domestic league so is it really a surprise they struggle to compete?

Probably their main problem is their wage structure is considerably less than than the other top three clubs. Transfer fees probably aren't the problem, it's bringing players in on wages that then won't upset the rest of the squad!!!

arsenal gone in for cabaye now, panic buy? good player, but the £10mil has been rejected buy newcastle.


Not sure signing a creative midfielder is a priority for them when they need to augment other parts of their team, such as a commanding centre back, experienced goalkeeper and a holding midfielder. They certainly won't get Cabaye by offering something well below Newcastle's valuation of him.

yeah i agree, they need cb's and striker more imo, but maybe with areta and the ox out its a panic buy?

I hate Arsenal but that fan's rant is entirely justified.

7 years without a trophy. In that time Man City have leapfrogged them and locked up a Top 4 spot, Chelsea unde Mourinho will lock up another and it would be massively surprising if Man Utd went from being Champions to 5th in one season. However, the worst part is how they compare right now with Spurs.

Spurs will either have Bale or £85 million. They've already finished Top 4 in 2 of the past 4 seasons, and with their summer acquisitions I see Spurs finishing above Arsenal. Champions League football will link in nicely with the new stadium construction and the naming rights that go with it. Quite conceivably, a lack of action in the window now from Arsenal might shift the balance of power in North London for the next decade.

I hate Arsenal and their supporters!

Who were the clubs that demanded home teams keep all the gate receipts, instead of sharing 25% with the visiting clubs? And if not, they'd form a super league. Well alongside Utd, Liverpool and Everton, there was ARSENAL & Spurs.

Which two clubs sent representatives to tell the FA that they wanted a Premier League so they could get a bigger share of Sky's money? Liverpool & ARSENAL.

Which English clubs were members of the G14, who demanded more money for playing in the CL or they'd form a European Super League? Utd, ARSENAL & Liverpool.

Every bit of grubby, money-grabbing blackmail to get more dosh for a few big clubs at the expense of all the others has involved ARSENAL. And all of a sudden, when they lost out to Chelsea and City, they wanted a level playing field.

Well all I can say is **** 'EM!!!!!!

Tottenham have the players, but do they have the mentality? The baggage of throwing away the initiative in each of the last 2 seasons against Arsenal when going for 4th place is something that could haunt them again. They do have a habit of choking at the business end of the season, whereas once proper trophies were out of the equation last season, Arsenal played their best football.

If Bale stays then with Soldado and Paulinho they'll grab 4th. If Bale leaves its all about who they sign. A Cabaye or Modric would give them creativity. I just can't believe Arsenal have signed no one of note yet.
