Official Gooners Thread - A New Hope

[Dakota]

Just all the Gooners saying Rooney only scores against Hull and all those crap teams.

You can add Arsenal to that list of crap teams

Arsenal are not Crap! just the 3rd best team in England

You spend an awful amount of time on here when your beloved team are playing...............
Small minds have small attention spans I suppose

If ever a team flatter to decieve it's arsenal. Players like nasri, bentdner, eboue (first contribution to fall on his ar$e), almunia, eduardo, rosicky, denilson and walcott are not of the standard nor have the character to win titles. Serious questions must also be asked of wenger who pit a b team out for a winnable fa cup and who Has failed to strengthen the team now on several occasions where they may have had a chance of doing something. How does rafa get calls for the sack and wenger is untouchable.

In hind-sight that game could have ended 6-6, alas Man U should why their are champions and Ferguson why he is the best manager of all time where the team is everything and he gets average players to consistently play above themselves. Very clinical performance from them, Fabregas, Rosicky and Nasri all below par, mentally Arsenal just don't have the experience to compete in these games.

Chelsea might switch off next week and if Arsenal can seek a point they have a the easier run in and will probably finish the season unbeaten which will give them a chance, lose badly though next week and I wouldn't be surprised if they finished out of the top four.

What has happened Clichy?

Wegner is light years ahead of benitez as a manager, he has done wonders with the arsenal youngsters bringing them on and all rafa can do is sign expensive duds and lose to teams on a consistent basis they should be beating.

Wegner is not untouchable but tell me this, if he were to go who could do better that Wegner?

I'd say nobody, Arsenal would do well to keep him, Liverpool should get rid of that clown benitez as soon as possible.

Well done on you prediction Stew, very Cassandra like ya fecker...

There are plenty of managers who would do as good as Wenger has done over the last 6 years. They probably would not play attractive football, hide behind the endless talk of bringing young players through and show little or no respect for the domestic Cups. But i'd bet they'd still qualify for knockout rounds of the Champions league and finish 3rd or 4th in the league.

here dinny, i wish i had a bet on that socreline, twenty quid would have been a nice bet, i am sure i would have gotten about 20-1 odds.

Really, who are these magical managers? And at the same time it would be a bit stupid to bring in some who will get the same results but playing less entertaining football in what is after all an enterntainment business.

You didn't answer the question, what manager could bring Arsenal onto a higher level?

[under the bar]

Almunia I give up on and that Denilson could have cleared the 2nd if had half the desire of Rooney, two awful goals to give away meanwhile the Arse waste chance after chance...

hmm... Arsenal did have a couple of chances but a fair reflection of scoring chances would be about 5-2 to united.  'Dominated' would not be too strong a word to sum up Arsenal's day

[Dinny Breen]

Don't be so rose tinted, Man U deserved the win but Arsenal had 7 shots on target to Man U's 5 and had 11 off-target shots compared to Man U's 6, throw in 8 corners to 5 and it's obvious Arsenal wasted their chance whereas Man U were far more clinical and mentally a hell of a lot stronger.

.

rafa - and I'm not a fan of his either - has at least secured a cl title for Liverpool in the past 5 years. What has wenger done in that time? If the ambitions of arsenal fans are limited to finishing 3 or 4 in the epl and playing pretty football then fair enough. The myth of the arsenal youngsters  is also Bullsh1t. Fabregas was stolen from barca for a start and what other youngster has helped arsenal win anything? They preen about in the carling cup, until getting put out in the semis. That's it.

In terms of managers who could take arsenal to the next level I would suggest mourinho and hiddinck for starters.

I hear Gary Megson is available.
