Match Reaction v Leicester (home).

[Marc Overmars]

Wonder if arteta is up to the job of making us a CL team. Defensively we have improved alot but at the expense of attack. It seems either or at the moment. Anyway still plenty of tricky games coming up united leed villa wolves. Although unitrd havent won at home this season.

We can finish 4th with a bit of luck but are we any better than the teams were competing with? Not sure there’s much evidence to provide encouragement there.

United haven’t won at home yet but I’m sure we will do our best to help with that.

Next week it'll all be different.

more fake news

[Mac76]

No, I meant we'll be locked down and forced to watch this.

oh...

[Mac76]

Laca is so far off the pace these days it's painful

i hear he's just started the second half...

[Mac76]

Is he not watching these games, or only focusing on what they do in practice?

it's all about how many times they run around traffic cones for him

[Mac76]

I thought it was my stream.

[Mac76]

The football has never been great with Arteta but we’ve managed to get by with being more organised which has given a bit of an illusion of improvement, however the bottom line is that results have mostly been the same mixed bag they were before he arrived. Anyone got his league record? Would like to see it because I’m sure it doesn’t make for particularly good reading.

There have been plenty of narrow wins for us which could have gone the other way and it’s no surprise the games we do lose are also in the same vein. That’s just what happens when you place all your stock in what happens at the back and neglect how you can do some damage in the final third.

I think it’s been evident for some time now what kind of coach Arteta is. Safety first, methodical and basically dull as dishwater. His supporters will say oh this is what Arsenal needed which is true to some extent but results aren’t much better, so it means nothing. He’s not my cup of tea but of course I respect the fact he won the cup playing like this and he may even do the same again this season, but I’m not going to pretend there’s anything enjoyable about watching us play anymore.

Oh well. On to Old Trafford for another sit deep and hoof masterclass. Maybe we can pub something if any of the forwards can be bothered to turn up.

he'll defend deep at old shiteford and let them look like a good team again

[Mac76]

Although unitrd havent won at home this season.

oh, you've really done it now - our whole purpose these days is to help teams break those types of records - like Leics did today

[Niall_Quinn]

Come on, you know that just isn’t true.

There appears to be no reason why Arsenal will improve. Rodgers outhought Arteta. Arsenal had sufficient chances to have put the game to bed by half time. But didn’t.

Quite clear that putting Vardy on would have tested the defence at some point. Said defence just opened up like a whore’s jaw.

I watched the last time Arsenal lost at home to Leicester. It was 1973, 0-2.

Arsenal were shit then, as now. Improve? They might, but I’m not expecting it for a long time.

In my own defence, there was a degree of sarcasm to be implied.

Having watched a fair amount of this utter shit show that is branded the best league in the world, I think we probably can scrape top 4. Which is an insult, btw.

Anyone who can't get top 4 is utter, utter, utter, shit.
