Piers Morgan has been ranting again.

Arsenal earn over £3 million from each home game. More than Real Madrid, Barcelona and Man Utd.

Sanogo finally scores after a couple of years of trying. Grabs himself a hatrick no less.
Remember when he started a season as our main striker.

He didn't really though did he. He had a miracle against Monaco and then got a few courtesy starts at best. He was never really going to displace Giroud then

Maybe, all I remember he started about three or four games at the start of the season and had to be replaced in all of them.

[Drew.]

There was that period in his first season where he made quite a few appearances in all comps.. this was during the months after we failed to sign a striker in Jan which made things even worse.

Will always remember him scoring in that win over Dortmund, not because of how memorable the goal was but for how funny it is that he actually scored a CL goal. Makes things even funnier if Spurs fail to beat them in the Europa too.

Interesting read. We've got a lot of players with contracts winding down who aren't worth the money.

Bellerin on 10K We need to sort that out right away.

It's nearing rumour season and there's already hundreds that are upsetting me because they'll never happen </3

Morata, Xhaka, Kroos seem to be the main three atm. I'd be delighted with either of the former two.

I'd be delighted with any of those three.

Thought I'd have a nosy in Arsenal Mania forum to see if it was all pandemonium with Gooners was true and wasn't disappointed.

Nice quote there, QFT. An Arsenal fan ranting on title rivals outsmarting them on their original plans

Just highlights another failure of this club / Wenger. Much like how he spent years trying to win the league without spending and being beaten at doing so by Leicester, our attempt at making a British core failed and has been beaten by Spurs.

Alltrue. There is no excuse for how the team has performed in big matches and the lack of improvement in the players..

Wenger must take responsibility as all team affairs are down to him. There is a joke among Arsenal fans that all Steve Bould does is set the cones out in training; he has no other duties. There is no one at the club who has any kind of influence on the team other than Wenger.

Wenger should have copied Fergie and change assistant every 3 years.

Wenger: Best of Walcott is still to come at Arsenal

Arsene Wenger says that Theo Walcott is still to offer his best at Arsenal, and will show that in the future.

There had been reports that Arsenal’s longest-serving player could leave the Emirates this summer, after losing his place in the first team.

Walcott has spoken regularly of his desire to play as a central striker, but Olivier Giroud and Danny Welbeck both appear to be ahead of him in the pecking order.

However, Wenger has issued a strong message that he still sees Walcott as a valuable member of his squad.

“I like that we live in a society where people always want new faces and new names,” Wenger told Arsenal.com.

“But we forget sometimes the loyalty, cohesion and the long-term phase that is needed in a player to be successful at the club. You need players through the generations and I’m very pleased with him.

“He’s been here for 10 years, that shows as well that he loves Arsenal and I’m convinced he will give us much more in the next five years than the last five.

“Because he is a player who is always moving forward and trying to do better. He has a very positive attitude.”

For any football fan who doesn't think Wenger has lost it. SMH

[alex_front2]

Walcott, Wilshere and the Ox have all regressed or not lived up to the promise they once had shown. Squad players at best. The thing is they are all genial guys, nice guys. Wenger needs Zlatan 2.0 , the next Zlatan type player who is technically gifted but also a big character who is a leader and won't take any sh*te. Sadly Wenger hates these types. He likes nkcey wicey types.

Walcott has played 230 matches in ten years if he goes at that rate he'll have played about 350-400 in another five years. So is he going to finally fulfill his potential after about 400 games?

Leicester - from 20th to 1st in 1 season
Arsenal - 4th to 3rd in 12 seasons

This photo was just 6 games ago; Arsenal beat Leicester to go 2pts behind. Tomorrow #LCFC could go 13 clear of #AFC

[GiRTh]

Embarrassing picture. Players should only pose like that with a cup they've just won not after a routine league win.

[alex_front2]

It is embarrassing, as the previous season when Leicester were relegation fodder and Arsenal were winning routinely, the players would not have even bothered to take a selfies.

Arsène Wenger says Arsenal’s summer transfer activity will be limited

Not again.



In January reports said he had 70 millon to spend.

Arsene Wenger has £70m to spend

Walcott may not be at his best anymore, but he has been one of Arsenal's star players in some of his earlier on seasons in my view.

I think Wenger needs to find a replacement for Walcott who has been suffering with injuries lately.

No he isnt and has never been a star performer. He's scored twenty goals in a season only once in his ten years. Not good enough for an attacking player who is currently one of the highest paid at the club. Only Sanchez and Ozil are on more money and he isnt any where near their class or ability.

As for injuries, hes never had an injury that affected his pace so I dont think any injury can be blamed for his lack of improvement.

Walcott might be better suited to Arsenal if they had some aggressive players in the team maybe? Because I honestly don't think that Walcott is a bad player, but his definitely having a tough time of it lately like Rooney has for Man Utd.

Arsenal gravitate to natural position #4. It's as if they felt unhappy at #3. Arsenal and #4 place is one of they most enduring love story of modern times Welcome back to #4, Arsenal . They will struggle to get #3 as MAN City goal difference is tricky with about 5 games left.

Today's Palace draw just highlights AFC's issues. Can't hold onto a lead, can't consistently beat weak sides at home. There is no bite, no fear factor with Arsenal. If a Yeovil, Fleetwood Town or a Dagenham and Redbridge played Arsenal in league or FA Cup these lower league sides would definitely be braver and more attacking than they would be against a Man City, West Ham, or a Spurs.

As much as I think Zlatan is a bit of a self promoting overrated chancer (who is legend in his own mind), Arsenal do need a leading from the front, nasty, aggressive, greedy alpha character like him to shake things up, even if it's only for 1 season. Arsene Wenger needs to apologise for the "audition" fiasco even if it was years ago and get him. Arsenal are just too nice and cosy.

I really see no point in spending that much money on someone who's going to retire in one or two years. Yeah he'd grab a few more goals than we get now but I don't think that'd solve our problems.
