How can having popular hits one after another making them an acquired taste?
The games not being your kind thing I can understand, but they are far from being an acquired taste.

Wenger needs to stop Chambers at RB. He flat out can not play the position and it is made even worse because he plays like someone who takes up the position of a CB and then leaves the right too exposed and his lack of pace then leaves him to commit silly fouls. Chambers should really be playing as a CB with Kosc out.
Monreal is unfairly getting slack, but at least he is trying to work hard for the team. It takes a very gifted fullback who can switch from fullback to CB in a back four at this stage of their career. Sadly Monreal isn't a good enough defender to make the switch.
Lol.
As someone who doesn't really play games anymore I find this pretty funny.
The obsession with this shit is crazy. Just don't play the game if it bothers you.
Not really any other option at RB right now. Don't think Bellerin is ready.
Monreal doesn't deserve any shit. Doing the best he can in a position he is not suited for.
Wenger knows we need a CB. He isn't going to buy one unless the one he wants is available.

Bellerin might nit be ready, but neither is Chambers. At least Bellerin has pace to be able to stay with his man and recover. Chambers has no long term potential at the position.
Bellerin-Mert-Chambers-Gibbs would be for he best.

Yeah you can't blame Monreal, he is trying his best I am sure.

Yeah it is really tough to make the switch. Maldini and Thuram did it, but both are arguably the best defensive players at their fullback position.
I can't think of too many others who have done a good job when switched, Silvestre was painful to watch at CB for Arsenal.
have you ever tried telling a 65 y/o to adapt to the times, and change what once worked for them? I know a guy who insists on coming to work through the 'longer road' just because he's been going there for years
another case of: So long Wenger, and thanks for all the fish
but don't sack him guys

Doesn't help that Monreal has the physique of a 13 year old

I want Wenger to go off to PSG on his own next summer. Let him leave with some dignity
I would actually love to see Leonardo work for Arsenal. He is one of the best directors in football and has great contacts. He knows how to work with the mega agents and can sell a project well to players.

He made the switch when young. He seems more of a case like Chambers who is playing in a position not suited to him.

Carragher started as a rightback I think, can't imagine how terrible he must have been in attack 
I think it's quite common to plan to use young players at fullback, and move them to CB (Kelly and Wisdom probably), but it rarely happens that a fullback moves there by unplanned necessity and excels
Was Ramos always supposed to become a full-time centreback?

Read yesterday about you guys hoping Pep could replace Wenger at Arsenal.
Considering he left Barca because he hated being the spokesperson and the person in charge of everything, I see little hope in that happening unless Arsenal decided to overhaul its management completely.
It's better they find a good manager who doesn't mind that imho, than deconstructing everything even for Guardiola.

I think it is better to change everything now. The most pressing matter once Wenger leaves is a director of football over a manager. There is a complete lack of football knowledge at the club outside of Wenger. The game has changed so much in the last twenty years and our internal structure is outdated and has helped contribute to our poor fortunes.
I do see Pep one day ending up at Arsenal, he seems like he is a person who would enjoy what London life has to offer over say Manchester.
Maybe dat London life in Chelsea?

I could imagine Pep has zero desire to work under Roman. Roman was willing to chuck crazy money at Pep and he still declined.

11 goals in 15 games so far.
Argentina :lol Glad Germania shat on your heads
Mirante forgot he can dive.
Yurt, did you see the disturbing Conte/Balotelli picture?

No offense, but why would Guardiola go to a club who can't guarantee they'll finish even in the top 3, and don't have the finances/board to give him the money needed to make title-challenges imminent?
I imagine Roman keeping a Dexter-esque slide box containing the contracts of every manager they hired over the years :lol and you just know that he wants to add Pep to his collection SO BADLY
I did :loool

Arsenal have the finances and the board to fight for the title. But the board just let Wenger do what he wants. If Pep came in and said I want to spend 25million on a CB, I think the board would do sanction it.
The board has allowed Wenger free reign and many of the limitations have been self imposed by Wenget.
Arsenal have more than enough to do that now with our income that only increases. If Wenger wanted a 25m cb the board would sanction it, if he wanted Schneiderlin then the board would fund the money for that too.
Remember we can save over 200k per week in wages once Podolski, Campbell and Rosciky are no longer on our books. The money is there but Wenger's not ruthless enough with our current squad.

They'd sanction it of course, but he'd want numerous signings like that imo. Of course you have way more money than you spend, but I don't think you have enough to build a team Guardiola would be satisfied with, in an amount of time he'd be satisfied with.
He'd want to replace everyone in the first 11 except for Sanchez, Koscielny, Sczezhny and possibly Ozil imo

When is Diaby finished? We will save another 60k with him gone.
End of this season, same with Flamini.

The team has quality. All he would need in his first season is a CB, a DM and a striker.
I see him coming to us, but not as his next job. I think it is fair to say that this is Wengers last contract unless he wins back to back titles and then the club will restructure itself. It would be the wrong time for Pep to come plus I see Roma as the next perfect choice for him. Maybe after that he will come to Arsenal and become the first manager to win the four major leagues.

Better start getting a manager who can do what Wenger does, while agreeing to a management transition in the next two years before getting Pep then.
What do you mean by your internal structure as outdated?
I can see Roma's manager coming to Arsenal after he's finished at Roma.

Lightning, Garcia would be a great choice for our next manager.
Arsenal spent 35 million on Sanchez and 16 on a prospect plus 10 on a RB. Plus our new commercial contracts will kick in this season.
Arsenal are pretty much the only top level team with a manager who completely runs the operation of the football side. There are no others involved in the decision making process but him. Football has changed so much in the last 20 years that it just can not work. You can see from his interviews that he has been cracking under the pressure for the last few years and even admits that he isn't great with transfers but refuses to work with someone else.
The club needs to have a football representative on the board and a director of football who can concentrate on building a squad for the manager/head coach to compete with.

...hate me...
Woke up this morning to realise that the PS4 turns off even if it's downloading shit. D'oh!
Consoles are getting too modern for me, or I'm just getting dumber. What was wrong with the PS3's system? Turn off console -> Console is downloading something, want to turn off after downloading? -> Yes -> Go to sleep -> Gaemz in the morning!

I really doubt that Pep would have taken the job. He rejected Berlusconi and Alex Ferguson, although they came up with their biggest guns. Pep isn't stupid. He knew that there was only one club in Europe that had the skill, age, philosophy and perspective outside of pure money to play something similar like Barcelona. Bayern and Hoeneß also gave him the promise of more power than a regular Bayern coach, as we see today. The club is basically run by Pep on the sport level. He learned from his time under Laporta and Rosell, and is going to avoid any club with a structure of one powerful guy he is under.

Well now.
"feedback and input" ODDMORSEL WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!
but seriously, that's not too bad, no worries, From Software
does falcao live in a granny flat on woodward's estate? pretty decent thing to do given his condition. we'll all need someone looking after us one day.
Honestly I'm not worried. Slightly disappointed yes but if it makes the game better I can wait.
He evaded around 45 million Euro taxes and went to jail for 6 months until he is allowed to work at day again. I truly love German law.
Isn't it bad PR to hire Hoeneß back? Legally speaking, and banter-wise, you're gonna have a convicted criminal running your club
