How to do this? no one can promise titles

 

[poet11]

My argument still stands. Arsenal need to convince RVP that he'll win trophies with them.

^^^What Arnau said but I get what you are saying...we need to show ambition and for that we need CL football. This season it really feels like 4th is a trophy and winning it would be a ******* miracle for Arsenal after everything that has happened.

How to do it? Show ambition and throw a lot of money at new class players...

 

[ShiftyPowers]

What money? That money is currently bankrolling the Denver Nuggets. Arron Afflalo's extension wasn't cheap, you know.

 

[1966+2006]

If that's the case, then RVP won't be sticking around

 

[Zlatan]

He's got to go. I mean for all the talent that he's got he deserves to win more than just the one FA Cup. And he won't ever win something at Arsenal, 'cause it's going to take a lot of time to build a competitive team there by which time he'll be way too old and probably retired already. If he can get to a better club this summer he should. I wouldn't resign if I was him.

It was pretty clear that he had all the talent but injuries stopped him from really shining. This is the first time ever he didn't get injured for this long(14 months or something) and scored or created almost everytime he has played. What I am trying to say is he did benefit from the faith Arsene and Arsenal had in him even after all those injuries. So.....if he is being loyal its hardly a bad thing.

Bdw, I read somewhere that Dutch journos asked him that he should leave Arsenal to win stuff as his NT mates have medals and he has only an FA cup medal......he replied that they have to understand he really loves Arsenal.

I love how Balotelli gets fined and criticized for going to a strip club 2 days before a game but Roger Johnson showing up to training drunk after a 5-0 loss and Pennant going out drinking til 5am the NIGHT BEFORE A GAME barely gets any exposure. Why always Mario?!

 

[poet11]

maybe because he is attention seeking all the time...he is fun though

 

[1966+2006]

Perfect...

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Swans!!

 

[Pogba4Now]

The newly promoted teams are doing extremely well this season except QPR. Norwich and Swansea have exceeded expectations.

 

[clash]

I feel bad for QPR, wanted them to do well, for some reason. Hope they stay up.

Also, I hope Tottenham won't fall into pieces and can keep their CL position as I'd like to see atleast one other London team crumble :P

 

[1966+2006]

With the squad they have, you'd back QPR to go on a decent run that would save them. Though they might leave it too late before they get themselves sorted.
It's been stop-start since January, also because they've blown it with red cards.

 

[Sir Calumn]

I thought it would be QPR that stayed well and the other two to struggle. Shows what I know.

As a Norfolk boy I have been absolutely DELIGHTED with Norwich this season. The most surprising of all, prior to the season I wouldnt have thought they had a single Premier League standard player! Again, shows what I know!

 

[1966+2006]

2 red cards in 5 appearances for Cisse.

 

[Pogba4Now]

3 goals in 5 games though.

 

[Filipower]

Crouchyyy!

 

[Jaboldinho]

Goat

 

[Mandieta6]

What. A. Goal.
