I agree that Arsenal would have a hard time finding a manager who could do a better job. But season after season Arsenal's lack of depth kills them, yet Wenger insists on avoiding buying fringe players just for backup. Even Podolski/Mertsacker/Arteta were bought under tremendous pressure from the fans and probably board as well when Wenger refused to spend.

I'm not fluent in spanish, but pt is close enough. Something like - How will I get a girlfriend if Arsenal occupies that role in my life, it already provides me with the corresponding heartbreaks"

A more versed spanish and english speaker would translate it better but you get the gist.

BTW Everton are six points behind Arsenal with a game in hand (with Spurs 1 point behind them). AND they have a fixture against Arsenal at their home ground! Buckle up everybody!

This season is just like every other. Everyone is injured, we lost early in the CL, and now we are in a real struggle for fourth place. It's just reversed. Instead of starting poorly and finding form in the second half of the season, Arsenal started strong and now everything is crumbling around them. I can't imagine morale is very high at the club right now.

I'm not so sure about the FA Cup anymore, given how this team shows no mental strength in every big match and the manager looks so tactically naive.

Well this isnt the first time they started strong in the drought era, theyve had table topping starts a couple of times and made it midway with top spot to, its always the same.

and next round is arsenal - city, fulham - everton, might i'm hoping will pull everton even closer!
though i think it would take a miracle for everton managed to finish 4th.
i would be well happy with a 5th place above spurs and united.

A couple of stats for yesterdays league winning game from Bayern vs Hertha:

83% ball possession, over 1000 passes, with Phillipp Lahm who completed the most of it with 134. Out of 134 trys.... Yea must be fun pressing against that guy.

I was disappointed from the CL draw first because Bay vs Manu looked boring but now i am really hyped for it because either everyone was wrong and Moyes is a genius, planned that from day one and will surprise everyone by winning both games by a huge margin or he will get wrecked like no one before in a CL quarter final. I dont think something in between is possible.

That must have been really exciting to watch. I hope they fix this imbalance in the next patch.

Problem with Arsenal is just depth in the squad. That's why they struggle in the latter part of the season every time. When you have no money to throw around (or not having one of your strikers suddenly becomes the best premier league player), you'll eventually lose out because of injuries and no capable players to replace them with. And Özil had started out great, but fell off after a few months as well. And in a tactically inept league, eventually the money wins all the time.

Bayern win 3-0 at Old Trafford
Lose 1-0 at home or draw 1-1. Same as Arsenal game. Bayern play like shit when the pressure is "off" see Arsenal games. Played like shite at home against a woefully poor Arsenal side as City Chelsea and Liverpool have shown ^_^

Also Hertha Berlin are poor side? Why are you analyzing the stats from that game like it was vs a Dortmund or even better vs a decent team?

Last year they were in the second division, 9th with 1 goal difference is a good season.

Quick question, how come Bundesliga is only 18 teams? Surely you could make it 20 xD
I know Germany is a big place, but travelling shouldn't be that much of an issue if that was the reason?

I suppose the schedule would get pretty congested with the winter break they have
Imagine a place where the Alps meet the Mediterranean, where you can pick autumn fruits in the morning, bathe in the Adriatic in the afternoon, and go night skiing in the evening…It’s Slovenia!

Although the number of teams differed in the past (there were seasons with 16 and 20 teams), Bundesliga usually had 18 teams. So there's certainly a historical aspect to it.
And don't forget, that there's a winter break in Germany. We usually have more snow in the winter than England or Spain/Italy. Nowadays every stadium in the first and second Bundesliga has undersoil heating, so a winter break wouldn't be a necessity anymore.
Personally I prefer a league with only 18 clubs. Together with the German cup, EL/CL and EC/WC there are already a shitton of games every season. Adding even more games would lessen the qualitiy in my opinion.
Just look at teams like Arsenal that really struggle because they don't have infinite amount of money to spend like Chelsea or City and therefor lack the amount of depth in their squad to deal with the sheer quantity of games.
Or look at Messi. In my opinion part of the reason why he was quite a disappointment at the last WC was that he was totally gased after a long long season and all the games he had to play.

Yeah but then you could add into that look at the Atletico Madrids and Evertons of the La Liga / Premiership respectively. Smaller squads yet packing a pretty big punch in their leagues. Also i guess you could add Liverpool to that? I mean without Suarez or Sturridge they pretty average

But i guess if it isn't broke in Germany why would you change it XD
Just would be cool to see all the top leagues with the same amount of games to play every year. I know Germany has more snow than Spain and La Liga, but Italy in some areas get a lot too? France in certain areas too i don't know im pretty noob at Geography

Winter break still happens in each league just means you have to push games in, like now La Liga is going pretty heavy on games to catch up. Premiership is ahead in games played with 31 games played with others catching up in midweek now. Serie A sat on 29 games with midweek games going on this week i believe and La Liga is playing its 30th games this midweek too. So i guess Germany has a pretty big advantage in freshness in most competitions with playing 27 games after midweek fixtures and only having to play 34 xD
Oh well all fun xD

Sneijder called all Fenerbahce players son of a bitch. Ofc a Fenerbahce fan made him angry by swearing him.

I love Sneijder even more after this.
