Re: Football Season 2016/2017

People are talking nonsense. Do they have to become Villa or Forest before it's acceptable to sack a manager of a team that's won 5 league games all season and are literally destined to be relegated in their current form. They have a single win in their last 11 games, have lost 6 in a row, have failed to score in 11 games this season. Something is rotten and something needed to change. Claudio failed to develop the team, came back into a season against improved sides whilst he changed relatively nothing, now he's paid that price.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017

Sadly, this happens in football. Hopefully after tonight gme with Gent. Spurs sack Poch. Spurs could be 5-0 up and Ali, nearly breaks a players leg - red fully deserved.

And l am a Spurs fan. Now Spurs have to score 2 goals. If Gent score its all over - our season soon to be over. Same old Spurs

Yup. He would have been fired already if not for the league win. It's very sad, it's horrible and given the fairytale of last season it's hard for many to understand but they've been awful.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017

Nufc, Totally agree. City won the title. And as far as l know they are the bookies favourites to be relegated this season.

Claudio should have cleared out the squad and started again.

The funny thing is, City won the league last season, and sack the manager this season due to poor results.

But think of this. Arsenal fans have been crying out for Wengers head for not spending money, and they have been poor this season. He still has a job

Re: Football Season 2016/2017

Huge difference. Arsenal aren't putting up a title fight, that's akin to your typical top four/six dismissal, i.e Brendan Rodgers, LVG, Moyes, Mancini and so forth.

If either of those teams were sat in 17th they'd dismiss the manager including Arsenal. Wenger is there because they're the last club with the Fergie mentality of sticking by their man. Sometimes the grass isn't greener either.

Jose Mourinho wins title, is sacked with Chelsea near the bottom months later. I thought it was a bit early for him to be shot off but there's an example.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017

Football today is all about MONEY. if a club chairman/directors know that relegation is on the arisen then its there money in the club that will be effected.

So bang goes the main man.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017

Wenger consistently meets the realistic, but unambitious, expectations of the Arsenal board. Champions League every year is decent enough even if us fans are disappointed. Ranieri wasn't being judged relative to winning the league but the reasonable expectation that they should not be drawn into a relegation fight - a expectation that wasn't being met.

I think had Leicester stuck by him then few would have objected but equally this isn't totally unreasonable either.

Also Arsenal can literally afford to back Wenger, can Leicester to back Ranieri if relegation is on the cards?

Re: Football Season 2016/2017

Damien.
I may be a Spurs fan, but Arsenal used to be a powerful force. But with fans being mad at the lack of spending (WENGER thinks its own money).

He hasn't brought in any decent players for several years. And Walcott or Giroud are not playing regular. And for Ian Wright the legend in view, to critise Wenger. There must be something behind it.

I used to love going to derby games of Spurs v Arsenal, but its not the same anymore. Both are the same - burn out each season.

Its like tonight game with Gent. Spurs paid 17 million pound for Janssen. In the last three games he has played - approx. 15 minutes.

And Spurs fans are whining he hasn't scored from normal play. Players are NOT robots. For Janssen to have any effect. He should have gone on with twenty minutes. Kane, yes he is a striker. But he should have come off.

I always compare our strikers - Son is like Walcott - as poacher. Giroux like Kane- you feed the striker, then he will strike

Re: Football Season 2016/2017

I'm a bit surprised really.

I really don't get the shock from so many Leicester fans. Take last year out of the equasion and they are exactly in the position you'd expect. You can't deny how well they played last season and yes he's experimented (IMO) unecessarily this season but.....and their fans need to understand this no matter how bitter a pill it would be to swallow... Leicester City FC is NOT a big club.

Don't get me wrong, they have a big club mentality and again no matter how you view it not only did they win the league last season but did so with authority. But similar to the slightly-bigger Spurs, they won't ever be consider part of a Premier League "Big 4" collection of teams.

After living there for years I do have a bit of a soft spot for Leicester and certainly did not want to see them finish less than mid table and definitely not in/around the relegation zone. But like the title-winning sides of Leeds and Blackburn of the early-to-mid 90s, it's essential they know their place.

Leicester City in the relegation zone as it stands. Could go into tomorrow in 19th place if Hull win.

Hat-trick in the 1st half for Kane puts him at the top of the premier leagues goal scoreres
