BushWickBill:Bigness is international not Johnny come lately bigness. After winning the premiership 3 times there was a chance that Arsenal would become a big club. Building a bigger stadium was a move in that direction but that has reversed. The finest moment was getting to the Champions League final. Since then it has been backwards ever. Arsenal are NEARLY a big club. Nearly E remain small You are clearly young but some of us followed football BEFORE there was a premiership. Arsenal are a tier 2 club. Don't know what you mean by Adopt They are not trying to win the premiership. The reason Wenger is not being sacked is that winning the premiership is not a target. His target has been top four and then pretend to want to win the premiership . I am sure they go back in private and have a good laugh about it at the expense of the fans. The deal is Wenger is the bogeyman for all the fans anger but the reality is that winning the premiership is not a goal of the owners and has not been ever since they started selling Ashley Cole to Chelsea. Usmanov knows this too well 1 Like |

omonnakoda: You are making my point for me sir. with the emboldened, you still don't want to agree that a certain standard was set previously. A previously serial contender suddenly lowering its standards. If Dangote decides to ride an okada today, does that take away the fact that he's Africa's richest man? No matter what we say about Wenger, he has made his mark. Three league titles is nothing to sniff at. Even Jose Mourinho hasn't won more than three league titles. A club builds a big stadium, the second biggest to daye in the premier league, and you still call it a small club. With all I said earlier, there's no way you can dismiss Arsenal as a small club. Not with their pedigree. And please do not disrespect me by bringing my age into this. You don't know me. So you have no right to talk the way you are speaking to me. You are being very disrespectful. You have not managed to counter the facts I Put out about Arsenal. And even if I am young, that does not give you the right to disparage me or my opinions especially since I related to you as an equal. Unfortunately, we live in this prejudiced society where you cannot offer a differing opinion without being disrespected. So I'm going to end this discussion with you. Believe whatever you want. 3 Likes 1 Share |

BushWickBill:I agree a standard was set for NEARLY big club Since then Chelsea have won the league more times I believe and even won the Championship. Chelsea are not a big club in my opinion and In my opinion Arsenal are bigger than Chelsea Anyway Wenger is not responsible for shortcomings, the Management iDid I call Arsenal SMALL? If I did I take it back but they are not big Big is Liverpool, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, A C Milan Juventus Barcelona Real Madrid Disrespect? You are a very sensitive man?deal with it Very disrespectful I just highlighted your obvious ignorance of football history. There is no disrespect in being young so deal with your personal insecurities Your problem |

Alighoda2:You made fair points. I think that if Dangote decides to ride Keke Marwa, it doesn't take away the fact that he is a rich man. If he decids to relocate to a rented flat instead of his own palatial home, that is his decision. Arsenal have decided to take the policy of selling its best talent to make money. But in reality they are a great club, in England at least. That they choose not to act that way is down to them for reasons best known to them. I have listed criteria that makes them a big club in response to other posts. I don't know if you agree or not with me. Their history is more significant than those of Chelsea, Spurs and even City. There's no denying that Arsenal are a big club. In my view. 1 Like 1 Share |

omonnakoda:ignorance? Please save your ego for your private life. I did not talk about Europe o. But in your ITK way you went ahead to classify them with Real and co. I only said Arsenal are a big club in UK. The discussion was about settling for Cup competitions, so stay on point. In your eagerness to impress yourself and appear intelligent you went and started talking out of point. Use Liverpool as a reason for not winning the league since 2004 all you want. But Arsenal is a big club in the UK at least. 2 Likes |

Alighoda2:Chelsea might be bigger ,but my context is that Arsenal is still a big club. That they choose to operate in a certain way doesn't change that fact. That is my point. Man United has been struggling since Ferguson left. Does that reduce their stature as the biggest club in England, and arguably the world? United win the Europa League, but even their hardcore fans realize that they should be competing for league titles and the Champions League. 1 Like |

Porto won Champions league that does not make it a big club Just like winning European Championship does not make Greece a big football nation The biggest clubs in England are Liverpool Man United Arsenal Newcastle Chelsea Spurs Man City in something like that order |

omonnakoda:You said they are a "nearly big club". Those are your words not mine. Unless comprehension is an issue for you, I really don't see why we are arguing about this. My point has always been clear. Wenger being justified on the strength of Cup victories and Charity Shield titles is a non starter argument. If you watch Arsenal TV, you would understand what I mean. If he has lost motivation, that is another argument, as is the fact that the board is reluctant to fire him. But in the context of English clubs, you cannot dispute that Arsenal is a big club and should be doing better. Thierry Henry, Ian Wright and other former Arsenal players turned pundits say the same thing week in, week out. It is only here on the pages of a faceless forum that people think otherwise. |
Re: Arsenal Vs Chelsea EFL Cup (2 - 1) On 24th January 2018 by BushWickBill: 8:48am On Jan 25, 2018 |
omonnakoda: Except that Porto has won Europe's top club competition TWICE. And you call me a young person. Check the facts. I am not saying anything about footballing nations o. Please stop misquoting me. That is not the argument. There are football miracles, but they will never happen again. The fact that they happened doesn't change the minnow status of those teams or their nation. Just like Leicester City and Blackburn Rovers will never be footballing heavyweights on the basis of one premier league title. Context please. |

BushWickBill:Is that all I said. Did I not add an international dimension to bigness? Next thing you will say that you are being disrespected? Why won't you be disrespected when you can't read or distort what you read There is bigness in England and there is bigness in the world . Arsenal were on the brink of breaking into the same category as Bayern In England Newcastle are a big club,bigger than Chelsea or Man City in terms of followership I have never disputed any of that but that is down to management. The fact that they don't sack him confirms that they are happy. Is Wenger to sack himself? Certainly if there is no IQ challenge on your side there should be no arguments |

Rather interesting exchange @omonnakoda and @bushwickbill. Clearly you both are very intelligent and passionate football fans. Allow me to wade in. - is Arsenal a big club? It depends on context. If you go by their local and international fan base, revenue, and history. Yes they are a big club. They may not have won a champions league, but they are still considered a big club, both locally and internationally. - Should Arsenal be content with winning just local cup competitions? No they shouldn't. They should be gunning for the league and European cups. They are a big club. - Who is to blame for the club's present predicament? First, the Arsenal Board, then closely followed by Arsene Wenger himself. They both lack ambition and are only interested in profits. Throw in the fact that Wenger personally detests the fact that footballers earn so much money coupled with a frugal board, is a recipe for under-achievement in today's football arena. 3 Likes |
