Zatman Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Quote German World Cup star Mesut Ozil, 30, is seen with his eyes rolling as he falls semi-conscious with a gas-filled balloon in his mouth.

villalad21 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 It's something about a bad mentality at that club. Everytime something goes against them they seem to crumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 They have a poor goalkeeper, suspect defenders and lack a decent defensive midfielder. Felt like I was in the Villa thread for a second! (At least we've signed a new GK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 They had a little spell but can anybody say they have made genuine improvement since Wenger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaJ100 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I think they won the league in the late 80s? Not sure but apart from that my dad always makes out that historically Arsenal were no great shakes and were kind of a higher mid table team. Just since the late 90s they've been up the top end. Is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) Historically they are much more significant than either Man City or Chelsea iverpool only stared being big when Shankly became manager. Villa and Arsenal got back much further. Edited December 31, 2018 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 (edited) No difference from when Wenger managed them. Just goes on to prove that you can't expect miracles when everyone above and beyond you are spending more money than you. I actually think Arsenal are overachieving this season based on their players coupled with their lack of spending money.

To be fair to emery he's doing well given the squad he was left. This season was just about steadying the ship and getting rid of osil. Once emery gets the players that suit his style they should be competing for top four again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I think Emery is overacheving quite a bit to have them 4th (albeit just a point clear of chasing pack) with 10 left as their squad is miles poorer than what Chelsea and Man. United have put out. I honestly expected them to have a Moyes esque season, year after a legend leaves and they're 6th or 7th and well off the pace. Most interesting thing for me is they could easily get more than 71 points which they secured in 15/16. They finished 2nd that season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 They've quietly been doing pretty well for a couple months now. Obviously title is out of the question, but I think they will take that 3rd spot. Emery seems to be doing alright with the team considering imo their squad is the worst among the other contenders for 3rd and 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 They have a really easy run in but most of the games are away and their away record is as terrible as it was under Wenger. If they can sort that out then they should get third place which would be a lot more than Wenger would have got them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
