See real madrid & manciteh - players worth millions of pounds, yet it took them time to blend together. Koscelny is good but not good enuf 4 d gunners. he plays well but he causes more harm than good. the 4-4 draw with newcastle, carling cup loss, penalty to barca etc were all his mistakes & again he caused an OG on saturday. I guess he's d major weak link in d defence. There can be a miracle dis season though. I predict 4th position & maybe mickey mouse cuo or FA - i might be proven wrong Steve I agree wt ur position. i think it wuld be totally unfair to expect magic from a team that has never played together as a unit (gerv, per, santos, arteta, yossi). they need time to blend!

It's incredible how fixtures up and down the entire table now look daunting to us. We're supposed to be the Arsenal. So long as Wenger is not sacked after these next 5 games, the team will eventually steady itself and scrape a top 6 finish. But seriously, Wenger and the board need to look at themselves and change. This failure is entirely of their own making. We need younger more vigourous coaches. Get Bould and Keown in there. No more old fogey yes men. We need to be decisive in the market. We need to offload the dross players in the first team. Pay them off if necessary, get rid of them. And defend first.

It's obvious that it's no good scoring goals at one end if you concede more at the other. I can't see Wenger turning things around now,he's put together a squad that has too many poor players in it . Mertesacker looks too slow for the Premier League and all of the other centre-backs make too many mistakes - this has led to a lack of confidence . Young Wojciech is a good shot stopper , he lacks the experience to shout and organize his defence - the other goalies must be dreading him getting injured and having to come in with that dodgy defence in front of them. I can see us finishing mid-table ,I'm not convinced that we will even beat Bolton , Coyles had good results against Wenger before and playing us at this time even with his own poor results will give him some hope that he can get a point at least from the game.

F.U.I did you know that osmanof the owenr of more the 25percent of our club is not given a place on the board and another FUI he is the thrid richest man in russia more then chelsea owner ibrahmavic so you tell me we are not a aclub with riches around it and also tell me there is no conflect between stan and osmmanof . i think they are whating for each other tell the club stokes fall and one gets tired and sells and stans is the one to blame becuse he has magority over the club its his responsblty i dont care about his confects i want to see my club in top of all compttions . how to solve these dilemma number 1- force one of the two to make a buy out stan has the uper hand i do want osmanof becuse of his deeper pocktes 20bil is alot more then stans 2.7bil yes i did my reserch. number 2- bring in a biger power yes every body knows that qatar holdings is intrested in buying man utd but with the glizer famliy in charge and manu success and the deal smoney coming in no way there selling but if a certen arsenal fan club hwo owens a few shares (arsenal supporters trust) contact them i dont know what are there methods our there loyalty to whom usmanof or stan.K but im sure that the club comes frist in there eyes and we need stabilty deep pocket to make it in these new era of football . ( qatar holding ) is a very rich institution that can buy arsenal and keep it in the top for many years to come and they are looking for an english club with big history and arsenal fits the profile . yes arsenal can spend but they wont, they selled cesc and nasri for top doller and the two billoners that owen more then 80percent of the club but that is the problom were there is conflect there is weaknes are two big boys are at war both didnt want to put any green in the summer trust me we could have made a lot of good signing but wenger wanted to hold on to cesc and nasri but we all knew that ship is gone becuse he knew the club didnt have the money to bring in top players , in they end a 8-2 defet is what made the board go and give wenger the green light to sign new faces with just a few days left ( you can see the conflect dont you) all summer all the players linend up (hazard-cahill-zarata-jadson-martin-and alot more) we did not even get on star to shin in are new team the new hero .

i think they are whating for each other tell the club stokes fall and one gets tired and sells and stans is the one to blame
becuse he has magority over the club its his responsblty i dont care about his confects i want to see my club in top of all compttions .

how to solve these dilemma

number 1- force one of the two to make a buy out stan has the uper hand i do want osmanof becuse of his deeper pocktes 20bil is alot more then stans 2.7bil yes i did my reserch.

number 2- bring in a biger power yes every body knows that qatar holdings is intrested in buying man utd but with the glizer famliy in charge and manu success and the deal smoney coming in no way there selling but if a certen arsenal fan club hwo owens a few shares (arsenal supporters trust) contact them i dont know what are there methods our there loyalty to whom usmanof or stan.K but im sure that the club comes frist in there eyes and we need stabilty deep pocket to make it in these new era of football .

How can you claim otherwise ? The Board is composed of business men not football men, that's why they do not get involved in team matters. How can you claim we would be better off copying Chelsea, where the owner changes the manager every season and often involves himself in team selection. How can you claim that the manager is not given financial support when there is £50m sat in the transfer acoount ? Wenger grabbed all the credit when we were doing well and he is the one responsible for the last six years of underachievement and the last six months of relegation performance.

If anything it's got worse. A little more emphasis on organisation & a little less on expression, might be a start. For the first time I can remember tickets are on General Sale for a Prem League game (next saturday)...there's a crisis off the pitch too!!!

Lets hope we can at least win back to back games in the next few weeks. The thing is its not just a run of 5 games, its a run of 16 with only a few wins, which is relegation form.
