pachyderm Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Love to bump into them in The Championship next season but I'm sure they'll pull out of their slump. And I bet we don't get promoted ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raminpeace Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Arsenal are missing that nasty element that they used to have. they have gone a bit soft. it’s ok having the tippy tippy flair players but they need some backbone. I’m not sure that rob holding and Calum chambers were ever the answer. they need a few steve bould, tony adams, Nigel winterburn types as a gamble they could do worse than mitrovic (Fulham) or that total w*nker sean Morrison (Cardiff) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their away support is also consistently the best in the country vocally IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vestergaard Gueye Evans Herrera All spring to mind as affordable options who would have been more what they need then anything other then Partey they've signed since 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 If you search Tony Atwood provides sickening excuses of why Arsenal were re elected to the First Division post first WW I following their relegation in 1913. It cost local side Barnsley dear and was done on the back of Brown Paper envelopes being passed around ammongst full voting members. Barnsley, Swindon, Ourselves et al have suffered on the back of bureaucratic decisions of none football matters. Yet Arsenal prospered in two ways; 1. Divorce from it's support base 12 miles from Woolwich. 2. Cash for votes scandal following WW I. Atwood twists and turns his way through the story offering excuse after excuse, but in the final analysis it cost Barnsley dear and prospered the Woolwich club enormousley !

But that is natural for any team. They have literally have millions of fans worldwide. However their core support is huge and if they could average 47k then, I see no reason Old Trafford wouldnt be full in League One.

Pablo Bonvin Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Rammers starts in goal today. I'd say they were desperate but then again if they were, they wouldn't pick old butterfingers would they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like they deliberately went out to find the exact opposite to what they need in a centre half. Brighton alone have 3 other centre backs who would have been better options. They have now signed a really bang average keeper..just think, Peacock-Farrell and Bazunu are both better than 'Rammers' , and playing in league one. That's how bad their recruitment has been.
