Yeah youre right, theyve always been in the Champions League. Theyre pure shite!

I didn't say that though did I? I said they are as close to winning the title as they are to being Spurs' level (which they call shite). Why anyone thinks they'll suddenly be contenders because of a good goalkeeper I've got no idea. As a visual representation it would be:

PL winners



Arsenal



Spurs/Liverpool

I've often wondered why so many Arsenal fans wear team colours on match day. Do they hand out a free B shirt with each C sun ticket? It's not even a particularly esteticalee pleasing design potty boo boo. Probably something to do with moving to a new stadium yeah that's probably something to do with. Identity lost after a move from a hundred year old inner city home to an edge of town identikit stadium bowl undermines your sense of Charlie George never got on with Willie Young fact. Tits I like grew host to Wenger's stubborn take on Anthony Martial is only 19 but married with. Kids. Basically a cup team now with though the north London piggy bank rolls in funded lets have a break dance party Klopp needs extra pork on those chips chops and chipalata. Personally, I like Carzola's ability to you'll never be allowed out of the house in so much leather. A good old fashioned Arsenal center back usually went to prison not what how they deserve success in an age of leaky doldrums Ryder despises Lineker you know it we all know it. Frankly if there's one team oh piss off Keown you look like a steel horse taking a rigid dump but mummy loves you in a suit. What really peeves the average north-west matchgoer wait is that gas? I guess sanctions won't work so gooners rumor is George Graham's bung money was used to fund Platini's modern slave Olympiad.

Arsenal fans will be fine, they're incredibly fickle when it comes to their opinion of Wenger on any given week.

But they'll win a couple of league games, the fans will calm down, and love Wenger again.

Having been in the Arsenal club shop, I was surprised to find it is the size of my garden shed.

Some great comments there tbf. Also, what's up with wearing that medal?

To be fair, he's not talking complete shit for once, just some. He admitted it's tough and is disappointing, also that they may as well be supported till it's officially impossible to qualify.

But the comments below were good
 
I must say, ArsenalFanTV is one of the better football-fan channels on YouTube. They have a humorous self-deprecating tone to most of the videos and just want to see their side challenge for the title instead of being irrelevant.

I can't stand RedDevils or whatever the feck it's called and RedMenTV is just humorous for it's level of delusion at times.

Arsenal fans in general are usually pretty knowledgeable compared to most.

Remember when Sanchez turned down United because he wanted CL football?
Good times..
Always struck me how short sighted that was. It's like joining Aston Villa or Sunderland because you want to play in the Premier League.

Ok, if thats how you want to view it thats up to you. Another way to look at it would be that last season is last season. United won by a country mile in 2013. City did it in 2014. Chelsea did it in 2015. Look how United finished 2014. Look how City finished 2015.

Arsenal could easily win the league this year by adding just a goal keeper. United did it by only signing RvP.

So whats your point? I dont get it.

And Spurs are shite. Arsenal have been consistently in the top 4 for years. And havent they won the FA cup twice on the trot?

Well for starters RVP joined a side that had missed out on the title on goal difference alone, that's how close the previous team was. Also: Fergie.

Your logic is completely flawed. United won it in 2013 with 89 points after attaining 89 points the year before in 2012. City won it in 2014 with 86 points, after 78 points in 2013 (after spending over £100m). Chelsea won it in 2015 with 87 points after 82 points the season before (after spending£150m).

Teams do not just randomly get 15 extra points without strengthening their team heavily and even then it's not guaranteed. The only times that teams have attained this level of improvement at the top of the table is when they have spend hundreds of millions buying an entirely new team - Chelsea 04/05 and City 11/12.

So if you're saying that Arsenal have a chance at winning the League if they spend £200m as Chelsea/City did, then I agree with you. But that didn't happen in the Summer and they aren't just going to magically win 15 points because of a £10m goalkeeper. That's never happened before in the PL and it's highly unlikely that it ever will. I'll say it again: Spurs are as close to Arsenal as Arsenal are to winning the League.

Also, United didn't win the League merely by signing RVP - the season before we lost it on goal difference. We were a hairs breath away from winning the league the season before and attained the same amount of points with RVP as without him.
 
I dunno, I get the feeling Arsene's promise of first-team action to Ospina has backfired and, because of this, he won't publicly admit that he made the promise. Hence the (perhaps faked) tetchiness.
 
Drop your number 1 goal, see your 2nd goalkeeper make a horrendous mistake. And then question everyone about their knowledge of football.

Is he done, lads?

The team Van Persie joined in 2012 was better than this current Arsenal side, it had won the league and got to the CL final in 2011 and got 89 points in 2012 only losing the league on goal difference.

Plus goals win games, and RVP scored plenty of them. Cech will be worth a load of points for sure but enough to lift a team who has only finished 3rd-4th for the past decade to title winners? I doubt it.
 
I just have to say I love how LVG deals with GK situation. No matter what competition PL, CL, League Cup or FA Cup who is number 1 is clear and if he is not injured he plays.
I never understood this shit with playing one GK in league and other in cups, it is stupid.

Yeah I'm not a fan but I can understand it sometimes. Barca have the young keeper to blood for example. But Arsenal had two experienced keepers already before adding Cech. What's the point?

Don't get me to start about Barca. This young GK is useless and he made stupid mistake every time I watched him.

Pretty much, although I assume (hope) the tetchiness is real.

That's some twisted logic you are using there, United RvP then a thirty goal striker to a team that had lost the title on goal difference ( GD which only became possible after an uncharacteristic bottle job) - we added RvP to a Championship winning team. A goalkeeper can never have that impact on a team that hasn't got the mental strength to even contemplate a title challenge.
 
Think Arsenal are doing what we did with Sir Alex in the late years whereby we tried to use as little transfer money as possible ensuring the squad ticks over knowing that the manager will pack it in soon enough. That then leaves a huge war chest for the new manager to come in and change the squad to his own team. That's the only explanation I have for the lack of Arsenal activity in the transfer window.

Wenger is 65, I'd think he'd want a pop at the French job before he retires so you'd think he's probably got what? 1/2 years left? If I was him i'd be targeting the 2018 world cup. So I think we could see him finally leaving Arsenal this summer after the Euros are done. That's my Paul the Octopus guesswork at play.

edit: just noticed his birthday is 20 days.

A sad day for the rest of English top clubs.
 
United spending 300 millions, losing their whole identity and bullying their goalkeeper to sign. What a pathetic football club.

Football will win if Arsenal win next weekend!

Why's no one listening to Piers? He's an expert at getting fired and knowing when people aren't liked. That's like his whole deal.
 
Going through a transfer window, with money in the bank, and only managing to improve the goal keeping position should tell you all you need to know about arsene wenger at this point, he's well out of ideas.
