Worst Arsenal team since Rioch

They scraped an ugly 2.0 win against a very very poor Sutton united

Sutton are more like a Sunday park football side.

Arsenals failings have gotten worse since Bould took over as Arsenes right hand man.
They are ponderous don't win first and second balls top heavy with bottlers. Their approach simply won't cut it

Alexis Sanchez is the only player worthy of a play

They need a complete overhaul before they will ever be a top 2 team again

You realize they finished 2nd in the League last year right?

Not that I disagree that Arsenal needs an overhaul

I think Arsenal fans need to be realistic...teams like Arsenal, Tottenham, Man Utd and Liverpool don't have the money to match Man City and Chelsea. Those two teams can get the players they need to have a good squad.

Let's forget the buck-up season Leicester had last season...right now, only two teams can realistically win the Premiership on a year-by-year basis - Chelsea and Man City. This is Chelsea's year...when Chelsea has a bad year, it will be Man City's year, and vice versa.

The best Arsenal, Tottenham, Man Utd and Liverpool can hope for right now is a Champions League place, and winning the FA Cup and the League Cup.

Those fans who are calling for Wenger to step down should take note of what happened to Man Utd once Ferguson retired....

You realise Man Utd just spent 89m on one player this past summer?

Also one factor with Leicester last year was that they were playing in 1 competition for the season - no Europe, and early knockout in the League Cup and FA Cup. Still it was phenomenal what they achieved.

Similar thing with Chelsea and no European midweek competition this season (playing in blue with an Italian coach - don't know if that is coincidence).

Ranieri won the League last year and knows it will historic to win Champions League and that is the basket where he put all his eggs in this season.

I eh know bout de we have no money to compete excuse nah

They used that excuse when they finance the then new Emirates stadium and told fans once that was done, they would be in a much better financial position to rival the worlds top teams

Well stadium done and dusted years now. The "we eh have the $ lyrics" doh hold water
