BrySmalls Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I haven't watched the EPL in years, however, I am currently watching the Tottenham - Manchester City match on Fox Soccer Channel and am impressed with Manchester City's striker, Edin Dzeko.Edit: Dzeko completes the hat-trick!

Viper Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 Lovin' me those new Gunners clash kits!Update: The moment De Gea, of all people, saved that penalty kick I knew it won't be Arsenal's night. Sure enough, Ashley Young then made it 2-0. Oh well, taking points from Old Trafford is a tall order even under the best of circumstances, so this game does have a certain "gambling with house money" quality to it.Update #2: 3-0 now.Update #3: Walcott finally gives Arsenal their first goal of the Prem campaign, just before halftime. Right through De Gea's five-hole, so to speak. Both Prem goal's he's given up so far have been down low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 Chelsea is saying Drogba only sustained a mild concussion in his collision. They've not said how long he'll be out but that's a huge relief.6-1 at Old Trafford now, and a hit post away from being 7-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordsketor Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 *facepalm*I think its no European Football next season the way the Gunners are playing right now EDIT:I think Arsene's time has come now, Another dreadful performance.

Viper Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 Another week, another red card for a Gunner (Jenkinson).Update: And Rooney gets his hat trick on a penalty. 7-2 now.Update #2: 8-2 is your final after a stoppage-time brace by Young.

cornettored Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 And the Old Trafford support's singing, "You're getting sacked in the morning!". Maybe not the morning, but is it possible that Wenger's seat is getting a bit toasty?EDIT: Young makes it 8-2. Je-SUS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Je-SUS.Well, as I mentioned a couple of pages ago, Wenger already has had one foot out the door before the season even started.CNN's Piers Morgan, a Gooner like myself, just did a guest turn on Fox Soccer's Premier League weekly wrap show, and ripped Wenger a new orifice or two. Can't say I blame him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintsfan Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Problem with Wenger is that he is incredibly stubborn. Despite the fact his youth, youth, youth strategy hasn't worked, won't work. But Wenger will stick to it for as long as possible. Wenger has taken the Gunners as far as he can. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEW.ERA Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Leon Best is hopefully finally coming into his own. Pardew finally put him in the Starting XI, I'd take him over Ba any day. Now if Nile Ranger can come into his own, the Toon will have quite the young English duo at Forward.

Something really needs to be done over there. I see their season very much in the same vein as Liverpool's last year. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Wenger will stick to it for as long as possible. Wenger has taken the Gunners as far as he can.The thing is, Wenger's way is still perfectly sound from a fiscal-responsibility standpoint. Until recently it also worked reasonably well from a competitive standpoint. The trouble now is that it can't keep up with the new reality of club football, now dominated by obscenely wealthy oil barons who are willing to throw insane amounts of their own money (not their clubs') at top players to get them to switch sides. Emphasizing youth does your club little good when the Sheikh Mansours of the world are always ready to snatch them away once they've developed.Fox Soccer even touched on this point in their postgame show (as did Grantland's Chris Ryan in the second half of his Week 2 "Reducer" column) when it posed the question of whether Gooners would be willing to see Arsenal take on ManU- or Liverpool-size debt to be a major trophy contender again.

Saintsfan Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Arsenal spent I think 12 million pounds on Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, an entirely untried teenage prospect whose only first team experience came in league 1. They haven't been building a team on the cheap. They have had plenty of investment from Kroenke and Usmanov. Finance is no excuse for the state they find themselves in. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't been building a team on the cheap. They have had plenty of investment from Kroenke and Usmanov. Finance is no excuse for the state they find themselves in.Bingo. They have plenty of money, there's no reason why they shouldn't after all these years of Top 4 & Champions League football that they've played. It's just the fact that spending on, like you said, unknown hot prospects has finally caught up with Wenger. It's one thing to build for the future, but you have to spend that money on established talent as well. That being said, I don't think he's gonna get "sacked in the morning." I think if they go one more season w/o a trophy, Wenger is donezo at Highbury.Seems like City-Spurs & Utd-Gunners was more of a "wrong place, wrong time" situation in both of those games for the losers. Arsenal's troubles have already been examined, Spurs haven't exactly started off their season on the right foot, while the Manchester clubs have come screaming like a banshee out of the gate. Crazy day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
