re: Arsenal 2016/2017 Season Long Thread: 13 time FA Cup Champs

I was there for the Bayern home leg last week and it was incredibly toxic. The stadium was at maybe 75% capacity and they didn't make any noise save for Theo's goal.

I was there too and perfect way to describe that match. My co worker said most matches are not much better that that.

He said people yell at you to sit down if your standing up. The way is designed you can tell it's hard to get chants and songs organized together.

Those shitheads Kroenke and the board want this extension news to leak out during the international break hoping fans will "get over it."

frick them.

The board are what has killed Arsenal FC, not Wenger.
If we had a board and/or owner that knew anything about football we'd have either dropped Wenger years ago or made sure he stepped it up both on the pitch and in the market. We would've actually hired assistants that can teach positions instead of letting the manager just tell you you're going to play this spot, "figure it out" so to speak.
I love Wenger, but man he really needs someone there to help him or he should just step down and take an executive role (or up, depending on how you view his current position of power).

My point is the board hides behind Wenger so the logical step is to get Arsene out first then put pressure on the board and owner

oh I understand. I just wish that when Wenger leaves we'd get them out also. I'd rather not have a new manager come in and try to run things that has to do it on a tight budget with a clueless hierarchy.
Hell, minus the manager inconsistencies, I'd like for us to model Chelsea. An owner that wants to win instead of focusing solely on profits is what we need. And a great manager wouldn't hurt either

All the teams be owns are trash most years if not all so I'd say he wont care. Frick Kroenke.

Alexis' statue in Chile

Xhaka completed 89 out of 107 passes for 83% completion. Had a couple of interceptions too.

Giroud now with a goal every two games for club and country this season. Not too shabby

Edit: Giroud is now the 10th all time leading goal scorer for France

For y'all keeping score back home, that's now three current or former Arsenal players in the top 10


Gosh I love this man

Did everyone stay healthy? only watched the US game.

If Arsene goes, this will prove to be an interesting summer.

He stays, which now seems likely?

Not so much.

At least not interesting in a good way.
