Coyle backs Wenger and says Cahill is still on. As is 4-4-2

by & filed under Uncategorized.

So first things first, Owen Coyle has backed Arsene Wenger as one of the world’s best managers and for anyone to criticise him he says is madness, funny how managers always defend managers, like Wenger did last week, rarely do they have a pop, in fact outside of spats Maureen vs Wenger, Ferguson vs Benitez you never hear managers saying another one has got it wrong and deserves to be sacked.

That my friends is called sticking together, they all look out for themselves and their large pay packets, they all lurk in the same pond.

I mean there are plenty of ex-players running pubs with no money, but how many managers ever work again after getting fired? They go straight on a long holiday then get another lucrative job, or work for Sky Sports/Talk Sport.

Anyway it was great to hear Coyle saying Wenger would be back in for Cahill in January, shame really because if we had him now we may not be at the bottom of the league and we do have a habit of signing players too late, (Baptista/Chamakh) so we’ll see.

Peter Hill-Wood said through his favourite media mouthpiece that the suggested signing of Joey Barton was rubbish, this is what he said – ‘It’s not something the board heard about and if it was a serious proposition I certainly would have expected us to’

Why? You aren’t important and Arsene does what he wants, ask Ivan! Why on earth would he ask you???

It was interesting to see the boss saying he played 4-4-2 against Shrewsbury as Park and Chamakh are forwards, and it called for that formation, well that was productive wasn’t it!

Good to see he will at last entertain 4-4-2, I wish he would try it with Robin in the team, maybe a new and bolder formation is called for against Bolton, what about this? And it’s 4-4-2!

Oxo Arteta Ramsey Gervinho

Walcott Robin

I know what you’re thinking, no Song, Frimpong or Coquelin but I’m thinking two out and out wingers, two proper midfielders, two centre forwards and a lot of pace may just surprise Coyle and his team of cloggers (not Cahill of course)

Forget Park and Chamakh, they proved how lethal they are on Tuesday, if we are going to put a DM in there, I would swap Ramsey with Coquelin as he is the one that has impressed me so far this season, Song has upped his game because of Frimpong, Frimpong I like but he needs to curb his over zealousness, Coquelin looks the part and has a bit of zip to his game so for me he would get the nod.

We need to start winning games or by the time January comes it will be clear the only way we’ll get Champions League football again is to win it, and by then Cahill may opt for someone that he thinks will.

That’s it for today people, next up Bolton and hopefully a resounding win.

Have a lovely day, tomorrow we get another chance.

    so he’s been wearing a boot and the bone hasn’t responded!?

    sounds like an experimental procedure to me if its not guaranteeing results.

    What a fucking massive waste of time.

  2. Lurch LeRouge

    sounds like aw’s worried about contract renewals as well according to matt law.

    few columns dedicated in tomorrows papers.

  3. frenchie

    ig-

    if arteta was for jack, then ogl is so far past rehabilitation that the medications should be suspended and the padded jacket should be applied.

  6. frenchie

    once this is all done and dusted, let us hope that bismark was correct when stating a generation that took a thrashing will always rise to give a thrashing.

    Jack had this injury for much of last season, played through the pain barrier (his choice) had pain killing injections most games.

  10. Lurch LeRouge

    Suga3 yup,

    its like a being stuck in quicksand, the more we bitch about the club the worse it gets!!!!

    what is the this 4th law of footballdynamics or something!?

  12. Lurch LeRouge

    why did he have to play through the pain barrier!?

    because he spent the season covering up AW’s management & transfer ineptitude.

    10 points for guessing who’s example he was following there?

  18. Lurch LeRouge

    don’t you just love the way the club release sensitive information late on Friday nights so as to avoid AW having to field questions at his preza’s.

    in 7 days time we’ll be so saturated with info on his injury & regression and AW’ll comfortably swat the issue away with a glib one liner.

  21. frenchie

    pathetic how “they” protect him. arsenal had that info all day. earlier, they released injury updates on yossi, diaby, verm, djourou, etc. yet silent on the jack injury update.

    boggles the mind, lurch.

  23. Lurch LeRouge

    it makes me angrier that they play these stupid PR games.

    front up and admit you got his diagnosis wrong and field the questions at the appropriate time and earn some respect at the same time.

    this way just reeks of pathetic spineless weak reptilian deceitful arrogance.

  30. Lurch LeRouge

    not sure Frenchie, I don’t remember the club playing these kind of games before… this feels like a new directive in PR, post SKE development? don’t know.

    Suga3

    going by that tweet yeah, that tweeter claims mutual friends with jack going back a few months, I don’t question its veracity.

  31. frenchie

    ivan is a great politcal spin doctor.

    alex flynn was on arsecast (i know you dont do it), but he had some good comments on the change in wenger. worth a listen.

  33. Ricky

    Wenger pissed me off like no other time in todays press conference.. The way he answerd some of those questions as if he were to great to be put under any pressure. Fucking twat!!

    I’ve lost every last bit of respect for the man & there is no going back no matter what this time.

    Gone & over played young jack last season who is now suffering for it..

    Now two crocks like rvp & vermaelen who are our best players are refusing to open contract talks with the fool & who can blame them?

    From this day arsenal FC will be pushed aside for me.

  35. OPG

    You mean the tweet about Jack having painkilling injections?
    We must have gone in for some more star quality knowing the injuries and also Cesc and Nasri moving but it seems we were waiting for those to happen and for the money to come in, by that time nobody was willing to sell or for within our valuations.

    According to Wenger Cesc he was always set to leave:
    “I always said that Cesc was a bargain,” said Wenger. “We were forced into a situation because for me he is one of the best midfielders in the world and we knew that we would sell him under what he’s worth.

  38. SUGA3

    come to think of it, we might have actually spent more on wages and transfers, given that Cesc was desperate to leave in the end…

    Ronaldo only wanted to go to Real too!

    I am not going to attend any more games until Le Bellend is sacked…

  40. Lurch LeRouge

    lol frencie, the fucking homepage? great fucking help.

    arghhhh. can’t stomach his bullshit style, its like american sports.

  47. Lurch LeRouge

    Alex Fynn essentially saying everything we’ve been saying on here for months if not years.

    wonder how the cocks at aclf read this….stupid ignorant cunts.

  48. Dutchman

    Fuck you arsenal, again lied to us about wilshere. He will be out for season. And we will be fucked.Then he will be shit next year and he will be a new diaby. Thanks wenger, for playing him so much. Fuck you and your lies. Fuck whole this club. Lyers. We better protest to call for wengers head. Cunt!

  49. incesc

    yeah hes just sating wenger is a retard basically that needs dein to tell him he should be concentrating on building a winning team

  50. Dutchman

    And now we need a creative CAM even more and wenger knew that wilshere was out for so long. What a cunt!
    And he is still talking about that we can’t compete with other teams wages. Bullshit! We made money over the past 10 years and now several players with high wages have left us and we can easily give that to walcott, song,RvP and vermaelen. Fuck off with your wage structure, french senile!

    Without commercial deals, we get the same money in as United. Our stadium is a gold mine and we pay the highest prices for a ticket , etc.

    LYERS!

  52. Lurch LeRouge

    cheers frenchie, well worth a listen, it certainly reinforces my belief that the situation we find ourselves in currently is largely born from the untimely illness and subsequent death of DF and sacking of DD.

  53. Adam A. Carbarundum

    Wilshere out until at least the new year. Wenger believes that Arsenal are still in the race for the league championship. Yes, nothing is wrong in Arsene Land, where the streets are paved with gold and no one ever grows old. There is one thing that I simply cannot stand in life and that is being played for a fool. Wenger is a very small person who oozes disrespect as a natural habit. I’ve had enough of this charade, the fools paradise that Wenger demands we all live in. Arsenal a terrible team this year, terrible. No amount of make-believe can make up for the truth that we see week in and week out. How much longer before even the most ardent supporter can stand this any longer. Sorry, but I’ve had enough. This is nothing but a joke that Wenger continues to play on everyone and everyone in the AKB just keeps lapping it up like an overweight puppy. Sad and pathetic.

    what is this the 4th law of footballdynamics or something!?”

    Very interesting point and question.

    Tom Watt was on fine form last night on the fans forum. I almost felt sorry for him as he was trying so hard to be company man while getting common sense from both callers and the studio guest. There’s only so many “its a bad line have to let you go” you can say

    So Tom lets just go over a few things…

    “You name me one other club that would sack a manager after he has got them to carling cup final, beat barcelona and finished 4th”

    Well Tom, take Man U out of the picture, then just pick a side any side. Chelsea – sack managers for winning cups – YES WINNING CUPS. Liverpool – Sack managers for not getting the results that the club history deserves – sound familiar?? Man City – Sack managers for fun, but hey, they won something last year, and dont look to piss poor so far this season do they??

    “Who would you replace Wenger with? If you can name one manager i’m all ears”

    Sorry Tom, im not an expert in world football managers, however who was Wenger when he knocked at the door of the Arsenal?? so hence the logic dictates there are unknown’s out there.

    And so on and so forth,

    The Arsenal are stuck in a bad marriage with Wenger. Its been sour for a few years now, but keep giving it one more go as they will change. They wont. Lets take a foot out the door and see what the party is like elsewhere.
