Match Reaction v Wigan

[GP]

Is anyone acting like that?

I'm not WUMming, I just don't understand the tone of some posts almost as if people are actively disappointed we won.

What were you expecting today? A crushing win for Arsenal where we looked like the Invincibles again? That was never going to happen. Arsenal aren't a great side any more, I think we've all accepted like that. Reading and Wigan away are two games we 'should' be winning but with our patchy at best form this season nether were bankers. They were both banana skins which we may have slipped on slightly but we came away with 6 points at an important time when morale was low amongst fans and, seemingly, the team.

I couldn't give a monkeys if we'd been battered all game but somehow contrived to keep a clean sheet and then scored off someone's arse. We needed to win on Monday, we needed to win today. We won both. Hurrah! Is everything rosy in the garden? Obviously not. Is it pleasing to see us pick up 6 points when we desperately needed to? Yes. Yes it is.

No exaggeration, this is the best post GW has ever seen.

He thought the defender would have expected the shot and tried to get ahead of him, which would have allowed the ball to get to Wilshere. As it happened, the defender managed to block it, but you could tell it was more luck than judgement because Boyce wasn't expecting Walcott to leave the ball.
But it's obvious some people are so blinded by hatred of Walcott that they get off on criticising him, which is fair enough, it's a free country.

To be fair, he hasn't scored a single goal for us this year.

So are we just basically all happy that we'll get 4th (as we always do) and nothing changes as usual.

For the 1st time there was some real pressure on Wenger after the Bradford loss and it looked like he might be pressured into signing players, that's now gone of course but what it shows it that the only way we'll ever seen any changes is through results not going our way.

Personally I prefer short term pain for long term gain, that is to say I'd be happy for us to get the results we deserved if it meant we saw changes at the club at last which would benefit us next season and the season after etc.

No. We're happy that the team we support has picked up a few wins at a time they desperately needed to.
