The last couple of seasons, seeing our midfield overrun, Wenger changed from 4-4-2 to 4-3-3.
This added more players in central midfield where too often we had lost vital games, but the
flip-side meant that the striker was isolated.
For 4-3-3 to work you need at least one of your three central midfielders to get into areas to
support the striker.
I would like to start by congratulating Manchester City FC for producing a resounding victory
for football.
By losing to Chelsea last night in the match amusingly referred to by someone on Twitter as "El
Cashico," they have helped demonstrate to the world just how amazing Arsenal's achievement in going
a season unbeaten really was.

A news article on 2011-11-23 11:52:31 from: Talksport
This news item has been reproduced from today's media.
One of the saddest effects of our poor form during 2011 has been seeing how lesser teams no
longer fear us.
The psychological advantage of having most opponents assume they would get nothing out of
playing us has been whittled away by a series of unfortunate events.
Throwing away a four goal lead at Newcastle; losing to relegation-bound Birmingham in the
Carling Cup Final; league defeats to the likes of West Brom, Stoke and Bolton:
All these and more have turned our shiny armour of invincibility into a tattered and battered
old coat of rusty chain mail, pock-marked with holes.
Firstly, before you start reading this article, you should know that I am not a part of the AKB
gang. Nor (as you may tell from the title) am I campaigning to get Wenger the boot. I am simply
pro-Arsenal Football Club and to be honest I can appreciate the arguments from both sides of the
apparent divide.

The period from 1996/7 to 2010/11 has been magical for us Arsenal supporters. We've been
fortunate enough to have seen an English club play Wengerball.
Never in our 125 year history have Arsenal supporters been able to watch such exquisite football
played by such a World class assembly of players.

We have a torrid start to the season, let's not get deluded we have lost 3 games and are now
languishing at the bottom of the table. This is not acceptable for the fans nor is it acceptable
for Wenger. His comments after Saturday clearly show his frustration with what is happening at
the moment, more so is his inability to do anything about what is happening.
All of at the PSP hope that all of you, yours and all of your stuff made it through
Hurricane Irene safe and sound.

RSL's Kyle Beckerman will not join the US team for the Costa Rica friendly on Friday but will
stay in Salt Lake City for Saturday's match against the Union.
With the rescheduled New England game meaning the Union will play three games in seven
days—Real Salt Lake (A), New England (H) and Portland (H)—Chris Vito writes in the Delco Times
that it is time for the Union to get some points.

Or, Avoiding Cubs syndrome: what the Fire must do for the rest of this season to prepare for
the next.
While the Fire are not yet mathematically out of contention for a playoff spot, let's be honest:
it's not going to happen. Fans were spun around on this carousel every week last season when every
disappointing result came with a headline on the Fire homepage about how the playoffs were still in
reach.

Arsenal.com are currently running an all time dream team vote. The problem with this it is often
only the young who vote and recent memory can skew the result.
We have a wide church here with regard to ages so how about we all pick our all time eleven,
manager, coach, physio and you can even throw in a few squad players.

I've been thinking over the last few days about the season just gone, the season before that and
the season before that. A whole lot of thinking you might wonder, well, I didn't sleep particularly
well on Sunday night, so I had plenty of time.
Some of the best results of the season started with one player doing everything we needed him to
do, he was on his game and everyone saw the difference he can make.
Kinder Surprise! You're moving to mid-Ohio!When David Beckham made his much bally-hooed, sexy landing in Los Angeles a few years ago, many MLS
observers thought it would open a floodgate of European stars heading to North America. As
supporters of the league know, the deluge never quite happened.
Who: Robert Pires When: 2001-2002 season
Where: Villa Park What: Gazza-esque turn, audacious chip
With the attacking prowess of Pires, Ljungberg, Henry and Bergkamp; Arsenal perhaps had one of
the best quadruplets in Premier League history.
