Jaspa Posted 19 March 2022 Posted 19 March 2022 Every time Arsenal win a freekick, Lacazette and Gabriel saunter over to the ref going on about accumulation. They're really turning into a "streetwise" team.

Villa are absolute dog shit…. No reason why we shouldn’t be above the likes of these. Here’s hoping we can our a run together now and make a fist of what’s left of the league, and win the ECL. To be fair we have so many games in hand on the teams around us and still to play Southampton, Villa and Palace at home. If we don't get above them from here I'll be disappointed.

Md9 Posted 19 March 2022 Posted 19 March 2022 That result is fine for us again don’t seem to move any where even though we have 3 games in hand and one win it’s us up to 9th with how bad we have been most weeks thats not to bad. Shame wolves maybe just a bit out of reach of us
Fox92 Posted 19 March 2022 Posted 19 March 2022 Arteta done a really good job. Arsenal look together again. Getting rid of deadwood and bringing in good quality plus the emergence of good young players.

Agreed, but any team like us, Villa, Everton should be averaging more than 1.3 points a games. It's disgusting. Once you get in that batch of teams that are at least 10-15 points off the top 6-7 then you know you're under performing. It's not the league position, it's the amount of points I measure us on. Anything less than 55 is poor and we aren't going to be anywhere near that this season I don't think. 1

An Sionnach Posted 19 March 2022 Posted 19 March 2022 Wolves are eighth having scored a paltry 31 goals How the **** is that? They have conceded nearly 20!! goals less than us. All of our problems have been defensive.
Mark_w Posted 19 March 2022 Posted 19 March 2022 Would have liked to see Nigel in that interview but Gerrard did fairly well.

We've evidently built the foundations to be a top 7 club and when we're off it by a good 10-15 points we know it's a bad season. It's usually resulted in the manager getting the tin tac an'all. We are a 55 point team bare minimum. 1

I’m not saying he won’t be, but before you throw out comments like that, you need to back it up with something. Right now, unless I’ve missed something he wouldn’t be in the top 10 PL managers. I certainly wouldn’t be happy if we had dismissed BR earlier in the season and appointed Marsh. If you’d followed his career at all you’d know he has strong technical nous and he’s an excellent motivator - he’ll prove that soon enough. The fact is at least half the managers in the PL are thoroughly mediocre and/or the usual retreads anyway. Edited 19 March 2022 by Deeg67
CrispinLA in Texas Posted 19 March 2022 Posted 19 March 2022 What's with teams finding it hard to play against Arsenal bar Liverpool......really frustrating to see Arsenal becoming a good team again with young players

fox in the sox Posted 19 March 2022 Posted 19 March 2022 A lot of talk that Chelsea will be fine once they are taken over but isn’t it likely that they will have to sell players? Abramovich is writing off 1.5 billion & the players wage bill is said to be massive, surely not a good situation to inherit.

Don’t see why. they have a big income they will be losing some players out of contract at the end of the season. Writing off ghe 1.5 billion means that debt disappears from the club. I think they will be selling some of their loaned players around europe as fifa changes upcoming mean there will be a much reduced limit and Chelsea simply have too many on their books. But this won’t be a financial call. this could well mean any new owner won’t have to make the transfer kitty investment that would be expected.

Yes writing it off clears the debt but wouldn’t the fact that such an amount needs to be written off be a worry for them?
