Empty seats, no CL cash, apathy ripping through the shirt buying, pie buying, programme buying, beer buying fanbase. I wouldn't look beyond that. There are no heroes in this story.Originally Posted by AFC Leveller

It looked a far bigger turnout than recent matches. And if you hope there is dislike for Wenger, you’d be very disappointed by the crowd today and the stampede on Friday to get tickets for his last match.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
Yeah it looked much fuller. People were beggin on twitter for tickets for this game.
I'm guessing some people had other commitments and given the short notice some of them couldn't make it especially with the marathon on as well.
People disliked the fact it looked like he would never leave and was dragging us down and that might have merged into disliking the man himself but once he announced he was leaving most people managed to separate the two.
His last game will be pretty much a sell out and his name will be sung loud. Rightly so.
Exactly what I thought tbh. Completely unnecessary to start Auba on the bench, it was clear as soon as he came on that it upped the tempo of our game.
Wenger
I must have been still caught up in the euphoria of his announcement on Friday when the game started, cause after 25 mins I sat there and said "Oh yeh, this is why you are leaving!"
Mustafi shouldn't even be getting picked anymore, Iwobi -more like Iwoeful and the pathetic attempts at attack
That is the first thing that need to be sorted out, drill the strikers how to shoot again and stop them making 15 passes back and forth to the midfield when they are in the 6 yard box.
Ramsey is still a headless chicken, he needs someone to sort him out which will happen soon.
I do think the last 10 mins flattered to deceive again but what the hell, we need all the wins we can get to take us to EL glory and I'm really please Laca got two to boost his confidence.
On to the next!

The last 10-15 mins proved (again) we are a good team once the opponent has given up. But it also showed, as we have showed in brief moments before, these players still have something left to offer once the main impediment is gone. It will take a while and a lot of work to recover from what Wenger has done to our football, but there are signs in there it's not an impossible mission.

I was expecting a bit more of a performance really - to show how much Wenger meant to the players. Result flattered us and I fancy it would have finished 1-1 had the young defender not Mustafi'ed. But a win is a win and on to Thursday when it really matters.
Also I do think every squad/team needs players like Welbeck. Those players who keep trying and always give 100%. No point having a team full of Ozil's.
Wenger was wrong to moan about the fans though. Without fans Wenger wouldn't have a job in football. Football wouldn't exist.
Who cares
We need players who give 100% and always keep trying, but are a lot better than Welbeck. Our game has been in such a state over the last few years and our players so unmotivated and underperforming (which is their fault as well as Wenger's) we've settled for calling players like Coquelin and Welbeck decent because they put a bit of effort in. It's good they show some self motivation, of course it is. But the new manager needs to up the standards significantly and demand much more from everyone. Welbeck won't cut it once the team is up to speed. That's why Utd let him go.

Indeed, and also signs that, once we flog a few of the really shit players - we can fill the empty spaces with some genuine talent.
