We destroyed Manchester United when he played there. The game was over after 27 minutes.

I really don't want to come off as an a-hole here, but we keep going to the ManU well with Walcott. Every time he has a bad game, which was virtually every appearance in the spring, we would reference one good game at home against a 5th place team that would eventually fire their coach. I don't want to get rid of him, but I think we rely on this one game way too much to give us hope.

I will say, as someone mentioned on the last page, the Leicester game is another good game for him.

The whole second half of the season was him trying to take on two defenders and just getting dispossessed really easily

Well when people talk about his bad spring, which was the worst period of his career, it's still true that he was a superb right winger for us for quite a while before his injury. I'm not ready to give up on him when he can still give us good games. The key is confidence. Wenger has played through periods of poor form for numerous players. I don't see why he would stop with Walcott.

Dat conversion rate, though

Lol he just told an Italian paper he's staying.

I really don't understand why we don't go after Lukaku at this point. He's not very dynamic but he can score goals, and that is what we need. Icardi is a pretty brilliant player especially with his movement but god damn I feel like we are going to strike out again.

We don't b/c Wenger has become distant and naive when it comes to winning titles. His 1990 approach of patching a team together doesn't translate to todays game of winning titles.

It has become where it's no longer comical. It's downright pitiful.

I wish we spent like a mid table team.

I don't get it because it seemed like we finally we're going to do something. I think Xhaka is going to be great for us. Nothing since then. Vardy could have been hit or miss but at least was a swing for the fences
