Arsenal vs Southampton. 2nd Feb. 19:45

[Marc Overmars]

Time to sort our lives out.

Probably have to pub this one though, Southampton won't have any fear after the Boxing Day mauling.

2-1.

[Kano]

Easy win

[Dein-machine]

uhm - just like every other game really. Slow start, tippy tappy going nowhere, full backs not allowed to join in & give us decent width but then 1 of 2 things will happen. We might score 1st which is always nice but results in the death of our game. The players automatically dropping 20 yards deeper to protect a lead, which is weird cos we're not to good at doing that & have failed to realise that if you give your opponent time on the ball in your half then they will create chances. Or probably the best option for us at the moment is to concede 1st, then L'Idiot will have to urge the players into playing quick attacking football ( which is how we train them, apparently ) in order to try an score an equiliser.
Nowadays, I believe we have far more chance of winning a game if we actually concede 1st. There is a terrible mentality in the team at the moment that seems hell bent on protecting a 1 goal lead no matter who w'ere playing. City don't have this problem which is why they win games by 3 or 4 goals & also the reason why they will win the league this season.

1-1 ( we take the lead ).

[GP]

Home win.

3-0

[IBK]

Gotta be a home win. More interesting will be to see how fired up our players are to exact revenge for our recent humiliation at their place. Wenger says that his players have fight - now's the time for us to see it, because it wasn't there against the Chavs...

[Niall_Quinn]

Impossible to predict it. No way of knowing if we'll bother turning up or not. With Alexis and Coquelin back we will surely do better than our last outing against this lot. Not that that would be at all difficult.

Arsenal 1 - FY 2

<_<

[Bumble]

Sanchez to get a brace and us to scrap past 3-1 (only settling the game in last 5 minutes). Southampton have run into a bit of form.

[Master Splinter]

Walcott and Alexis spark off each other so it would be good to see them both start, especially against a now more solid Southampton.

If we start well, we win. If not, a pubbed draw.

Hopefully:

Cech

Bellerin
Gabriel
Koscielny
Monreal

Coquelin
Ramsey
Ozil

Alexis
Walcunt
Campbell

Subs: Ospina, BFG, Gibbs, Elneny, Oxlade, Iwobi, Giroud.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I don't think the bookies are aware that fakeyank is going to the game.

Fill your boots.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I hate playing Koeman.

[adzzzbatch]

0-0 and the most boring uneventful match since the last time Fakeyank was over.

[Munchies]

4-0

Revenge imo

[Marc Overmars]

Us giving out a thrashing. :lol:

[Xhaka Can’t]

We only receive them these days.

He'll start Merts and Giroud.

[Niall_Quinn]

No doubt he'll start Merts and he'll dig in on this for the remainder of the season. He hates being proved 100% beyond all reasonable shadow of a doubt, definitively, comprehensively wrong.

Doubt he'll start Walnut up top though. Why would he? The guy's in the worst form of his life.

It's not even that. The Kos and Gabriel partnership wasn't good. Gabriel was getting dominated in the air and we conceded as a result. Kos was all over the shop as well. Based of that recent performance, I can't say it's an easy decision to bench Merts.

As for Walcott, he'd probably play a lot better up front compared to on the left.

Walcott couldn't play better if you let him loose in Toys'r'Us. Giroud, for all his faults, at least has some clue where the goal is.

Kos and Gabriel can't be judged as a pair from that farcical team that was put out against Burnley. If Wenger can swallow his pride and start these two for the remainder of the season we'll be a lot better off. Merts causes most of the problems with the players around him. They are covering for him all the time because he's so immobile. He's not that good in the air himself, so weak for such a big guy. But a pointless discussion, we all know what Wenger will do.

You say that now about Giroud but if he plays anything like his last couple of performances, I'm sure you'll notice the lack of movement and chances he's getting on goal.

What was farcical about that team and what does that have to do with being out jumped in a one on one situation? Stats say otherwise about Merts in the air also. In fact, it doesn't make sense to blame other players for the Kos and Gabriel performance on Saturday but then also say others have to cover for Merts weaknesses. Who played on Saturday that made Kos and Gabriel look that bad?

It's not a pointless discussion. It boils down to your perspective on what you think he should be doing instead. I've got my problems with some of Wenger's decisions but what your suggesting with the team isn't always right either. Gabriel was sent off against Chelsea when he started and when Merts was sent off, he came on. But we conceded minutes after the sending off. It's not clear cut that we'll do a lot better without Merts because so far we haven't.

Oh shite, people are seriously underestimating the FY Jinx effect. Do you know if he has landed yet? Is there anything we can do to stop him reaching the ground please?? :banghead:

I'm not talking about one-off games, I'm talking about Merts as a glaring liability over the course of a season. Our entire defence was shit against Burnley. Not surprising considering Wenger sabotaged it before kick off? What was wrong with the team? Wenger. He doesn't do rotation, he does vandalism. You put a jumbled up defence in with a jumbled up midfield including a player making his first appearance and then you say to them just play any way you want to. It's a unique style of management, that's for sure.

All fan discussion is fun but ultimately pointless when it comes to Wenger. I think one post yesterday summed it up. We'll be rid of him when the owners get sick of making money hand over fist.

Will try to mug him for his tickets at The Pins later. :(

Hello, police?

Yes, there's a shifty looking brown gentleman talking about Alan's Snackbar and bombs and stuff...

[selassie]

Still having nightmares about the 4-0 at St Mary's. We should be able to turn Southampton over easily, they've gone backwards IMO, saying that it's Arsenal and you just never know with us. Think we'll pub it 2-1.

[IBK]

My 9 year old nephew (and my sister) are watching this game in a box with Robert Pires, who is taking him to the changing room to meet the players afterwards. Lucky b'stard!

If Merts was playing with that team would you excuse that same mistake and blame the team around him?

Coquelin was back in the squad, Gibbs and Chambers are hardly strangers at wing back. It's no excuse really. You'd have a stronger case if Gabriel has a solid record for us but he doesn't. It's patchy so it's very hard to assume he'd be miles better than Merts.

Of course his record is patchy, he hardly plays. I'm talking about taking out a recurring liability and playing two CBs who are suitable for this league and giving them the time to strike up a partnership. I believe the risks in allowing the time would be smaller than allowing Merts on the pitch. We won't find out though because Wenger probably doesn't even see any problems in Merts. And no, I wouldn't have been singling out Merts for that hyper-shit performance against Burnley.

[Özim]

Expect us to win this game comfortably, they may have thrashed us earlier in the season but they aren't a great team this season.

They've been on a good run recently and you keep saying we're no good under pressure - and this is surely a pressure game given our recent results.
So why would you suddenly expect a comfortable win?

Personally, I don't think the Gabriel and Kos partnership is better than Merts and Kos and I wouldn't tinker with that understanding at the tail end of the season.

Check the stats and you'll see we've lost more games with the Kos and Gabriel partnership this season. We've lost 9 games across all comps this season but 4 of those games we've lost with Kos and Gabriel as CB pairings. They hardly keep clean sheets either. Best to explore that partnership next season but for I wouldn't switch things up now when they haven't been successful so far.

[Özim]

We're at home, they are nothing special this season and we should be winning this easily enough. I don't consider this a real pressure game, Liverpool away was and certainly Chelsea at home, but not this one.

Incidentally that's what I think should happen considering the fact we're at home and the opposition.

[Letters]

Why is Chelsea at home a pressure game and not Southampton? Southampton are above Chelsea! :lol:

Fact is all games are pressure games, some more than others but from now to the end of the season there are no inconsequential games.

[Özim]

Pretty self explanatory I would have thought, we always lose to Chelsea and they also have better players than Southampton.

At home against this side I don't see this as a particularly hard game for us.

[Power n Glory]

Yep. I agree with that. Been saying that from the get go. Stop stealing! :lol:

But it's a pressure game. We should be favourites to win but that doesn't mean the pressure is off. We need our revenge considering the last tie.

[Marc Overmars]

If you're in a title race every game is pressurised. Though some fixtures will are bound to have different psychological impacts, undoubtedly the Chelsea defeat hit us for 6, so if we can win tonight and put on a performance then we have to take the positives out of it because the heat is certainly on right now.

Southampton aren't great but they're one of those teams capable of beating any of the top sides, as we know all too well.

[Dein-machine]

Pretty self explanatory I would have thought, we always lose to Chelsea and they also have better players than Southampton.

At home against this side I don't see this as a particularly hard game for us.

Nor did I against Burnley but we have zero killer instinct these days so I'm afraid unlike you I never think we will win comfortably. This team has as much chance of beating City by playing Wengers new found counter attack system as we do beating Villa because we cannot open up defenses with our lack of movement. When we do we've got 2 of the worst finishers in the league in Giroud & Theo. Its why we have this mentality running through the team of holding onto a lead, assisted by L'idiot making it worse by taking off our best players for the likes of Arteta & Gibbs - then crossing his fingers for the final 25 minutes. Lets see what happens tonight if we have a 1-0 lead after 65 minutes. Ozil & Sanchez off - Flamini & Gibbs on. Its pathetic.

[Maestro]

Has someone managed to take care of FY, because that is the only obstacle to victory tonight

[Alpha]

No doubt he'll start Merts and he'll dig in on this for the remainder of the season. He hates being proved 100% beyond all reasonable shadow of a doubt, definitively, comprehensively wrong.

Doubt he'll start Walnut up top though. Why would he? The guy's in the worst form of his life.

Was Merts' red card rescinded ?

[Niall_Quinn]

Was Merts' red card rescinded ?

No, he served his ban against Burnley. It was only a one match ban and apparently you can't appeal to have it extended.

[Niall_Quinn]

Best to explore that partnership next season but for I wouldn't switch things up now when they haven't been successful so far.

Stats don't even begin to tell the story. But there's another way of looking at it. Which club in the top half of the PL would have Merts anywhere near their first eleven? It's like the terrible keeper syndrome, the shitty sideways midfielder affliction, Wenger will persist until the whole world is screaming at him and only then will he... sign him for another 5 seasons.

Thanks for letting me know . I would have played Merts and Kos though . That is our best CB partnership so far . Kos and Gab still in experimentation as they look similar to me .

[Power n Glory]

Team news out.

Cech, Bellerin, Gabriel, Kos, Monreal, Flamini, Ramsey, Ozil, Campbell, Sanchez, Giroud.

Terrible choice to bring Flamini and Rambo as the CM pair.

Well, Wenger has chosen Gabriel for this game so we'll see if we fair any better without Merts. Wenger's not so stubborn after all. But I don't think it's a wise choice playing Flamini and Rambo again.

Is Wenger demented, I mean seriously WFT ....Ramsey and Flamini after the shite they've been serving over the last month????? Please tell Coq and Elneny are in hospital.

Sky reporting Elneny injured

:haha: Welcome to Arsenal. There's nothing unfortunate or random about this. The other dinosaur over at Utd has a ton of injuries too.

[Master Splinter]

Flamini starts.

FFS WUMger. He's a psychopath.

The only worthwhile explanation would be that Elneny has picked up an injury and Coquelin has a slight knock. Or he's a psychopath.

Need some some magic from Alexis and Campbellinho to counter the abyss occupying the middle of the team.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Flamini and Ramsey dream team.

[Niall_Quinn]

Well, Wenger has chosen Gabriel for this game so we'll see if we fair any better without Merts. Wenger's not so stubborn after all. But I don't think it's a wise choice playing Flamini and Rambo again.

True, he's finally made a sensible call defensively. We'll be much tighter at the back tonight as a result and Kos will have a much better game.

Flamini and Ramsey is idiotic, of course, but you can't expect Wenger to get more than one thing right at a time.

It's mental. Coquelin is on the bench. No idea what happened to Elneny. Not on the bench and we really need to sort our training out if he is indeed injured.

[Niall_Quinn]

If it wasn't for the sheer lunacy of the midfield selection, that's not a bad team. Theo benched, and about time. A solid defence. Our best players up front. Real fucking shame about that midfield though.

We're also going to need Bif to be on his A game. We'll need to him to stay on the move and his passing game to be up to par.

He needs to be sacked. It's no joke. We needed cover for Coquelin so he goes and buys somebody who apparently can't provide it. Or so Wenger says. Looked to me like Elmo is a better bet than Flamini on the breif showing we've had so far. A little indisciplined but doesn't that make him perfect for one of Wenger's teams?

Good dive by Tadic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cech saves from Ward-Prowse's freekick.

kos does not trust his right foot, ramsey or both

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Campbell gives it away three times in quick succession. :lol:

He was trying things though in fairness.

[Niall_Quinn]

That was handball.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cech. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

We can't pass.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[Niall_Quinn]

Unlucky Ozil. That was incredible control. Deserved a goal.

Ozil :doh:.

Mane. :haha:

Shocking from Ramsey.

How wasn't that a foul on Alexis but Özil fouled?

Mason

They were ALL offside on that, and previous FKs. No whistles though.

No foul again?!

Forster and Mason keeping Southampton in this.

[Niall_Quinn]

Pure fluke of a save.

[Niall_Quinn]

LOL - Alexis fouled. FK Soton.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I appreciate I've arrived late to proceedings but why the fuck is Flamini playing

Why even buy Elnenny if you're not going to play him

[Power n Glory]

Ramsey and Flamini are a shambles.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ozil could have gone down. Honest but I doubt it will be reciprocated.

[Master Splinter]

Roll up! Roll up!

Foul Arsenal at will.

It's the Lee Mason show!

[Niall_Quinn]

I appreciate I've arrived late to proceedings but why the fuck is Flamini playing

Why even buy Elnenny if you're not going to play him

Wenger has let us know that Elmo is not ready for the PL yet. Good to know.

[AFC Leveller]

Saints made to look like Barcelona by us again

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tadic shot easy for Cech, though it was easy to fool Flamini.

[Niall_Quinn]

Every Soton dive and Mason is on it with the whistle. Such a generous guy.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Crap cross from Bellerin.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Unbelievable - Wenger says Elneny isn't ready for Premier League action! WTF did you buy him for then?

You forget that Wenger is the most blatant Wanker around.

Fucked off with his bullshit tbh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Romeu goes for it, just over.

[Niall_Quinn]

Very, very, very poor by Bellerin.

[Niall_Quinn]

Not even Ozil can pass tonight. What do we do in training? Hit each others knees with mallets I suppose.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That is horrific from Ramsey.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Not even Ozil can pass tonight. What do we do in training? Hit each others knees with mallets I suppose.
Wengers mental illness takes over and they learn nothing every time

[Power n Glory]

I mean what the fuck is that from Ramsey?

[Niall_Quinn]

Wehave no shape, no tactics. It's all just random. 40 minutes of shit again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mane just blew it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT.

Shite and uninspiring to say the least.

[adzzzbatch]

Fucking shit. End of.

[Marc Overmars]

Below Spuds as it stands.

Some title challenge this is turning out to be. Come on you cunts.

[Power n Glory]

Switching off after that.

[GP]

Not too bad. Created some chances, need to be taking those really.

[Niall_Quinn]

HT 0-0

It really is difficult to understand why anybody still defends this manager.

[Power n Glory]

We're getting nothing from Ramsey and Flamini. Bellerin has been shite too. Giroud...a blunt knife. They need to step it up.

[selassie]

We're getting progressively worse just as the season hots up, who would have guessed that?

[Niall_Quinn]

We're getting nothing from Ramsey and Flamini. Bellerin has been shite too. Giroud...a blunt knife. They need to step it up.

What's that, 5 or 6 games now where the Ramsey/ Flamini show has stunk the place out? Just 95 games to go until L'Idiot figures it out.

[Master Splinter]

Ozil could have had a hat-trick.

Is it Theo's fault he fluffed the chances? Or Mertesacker's?

[Niall_Quinn]

Ozil could have had a hat-trick.

Is it Theo's fault he fluffed the chances? Or Mertesacker's?

Nobody at all was at fault for any of them because none of them were the type of sitter that Theo routinely misses.

Ozil could have had a hat-trick.

Is it Theo's fault he fluffed the chances? Or Mertesacker's?

Of course!

[Niall_Quinn]

Gabriel has already looked twice as secure as the Lumbering Oaf, and he hasn't even played well. Kos looks a hell of a lot more relaxed too, now he has just the one job.

[Power n Glory]

Nobody at all was at fault for any of them because none of them were the type of sitter that Theo routinely misses.

I don't know how two one on one opportunities and a scramble in the box are far worse? I've heard you slay Theo for a lot less.

Also, has Giroud had a shot on goal today?

[Niall_Quinn]

No subs by L'Imbecile. He'll be delighted with that first half.

[Niall_Quinn]

I don't know how two one on one opportunities and a scramble in the box are far worse? I've heard you slay Theo for a lot less.

Theo is supposed to be a striker. As funny as that sounds.

[Munchies]

Not watching the game but same old shit?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Do one Forster.

[Niall_Quinn]

Another keeper's turn to have the game of his life. Not really a great effort by Bif though.

[Niall_Quinn]

SHOOT Joel FFS!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gah I wish Campbell had layed it off rather than go for glory.

Great tackle though.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fuck sake. On a plate if anyone could be bothered.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fucking Flamini (well the Russian commentator seemed to blame him for some reason).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bif touch header, Forster there again.

[Niall_Quinn]

No card? Alexis doesn't roll around, that's his problem. Not a big enough cheat for this league.

[LDG]

Today would be a good day for FY to break his curse.

Please :pray:

[Niall_Quinn]

Campbell filling in for Ramsey again as the latter takes his routine excursion up the pitch.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mason is a clown.

[Niall_Quinn]

Good defending by Mason.

[Munchies]

Title :rose:

[Niall_Quinn]

Bif on the wing trying to cross to... nobody.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cedric booked. :faint:

[Niall_Quinn]

Walnut warming up.

[Niall_Quinn]

Cedric booked. :faint:

Yes, for a technicality. They like their technicalities.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Walnut warming up.old mental will probably take off Sanchez for him

[Niall_Quinn]

Walnut on for Campbell to add a bit more steel and workrate.

[Munchies]

5 pt gap as it stands

Feel numb :(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis header, Forster saves.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Flamini still on the pitch :yawn:

[Niall_Quinn]

Alexis is stepping up now. Just needs one good chance.

[Niall_Quinn]

Flamini still on the pitch :yawn:

Yes, Coquelin is not ready for the PL yet.

[Power n Glory]

That was risky from Gabriel.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Yes, Coquelin is not ready for the PL yet.
And you must remember also, that Elneny is still learning to play football

[McNamara That Ghost...]

FFS Theo, twice!

[Niall_Quinn]

Gale sulking because Mane didn't dive.

[Master Splinter]

FUCK OFF FORSTER!

[Munchies]

FUCK OFF WALCOTT

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Forster needs to fuck off ASAP.

[GP]

Walcott you fucking waste of space!

[Power n Glory]

Foster again.

[Maestro]

How are people making over £50k a week, when they patently can't control a ball BlitW

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kos with a telling clearance.

[Power n Glory]

Kos?

[Master Splinter]

Koscielny FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tadic off, Pelle on.

[GP]

Jesus.

This should be done and dusted by now.

[Maestro]

FY really is cursed

[Niall_Quinn]

Kos :doh:

But what was he even doing there? And Ramsey was in the box too. Must mean we had virtually nobody covering if we lost the ball.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis shot cleared off the line. This is ridiculous.

[Power n Glory]

Off the line.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ramsey's the #10 now.

Giroud has his shirt pulled off. Clear pen.

Alexis - off the line.

Mason was standing right there watching that stonewall penalty incident.

[LDG]

FY :angry:

[Maestro]

FY get the fuck out of the stadium now please, if you can hear us!!!! Please FY

[GP]

FY :angry:

What cunt gave him a ticket? :angry:

[Niall_Quinn]

FY get the fuck out of the stadium now please, if you can hear us!!!! Please FY

Anyone got the number for the stadium announcer?

[Maestro]

Anyone got the number for the stadium announcer?

Can't believe the bloke tbh, strides into town and our season immediately unravels .....every fucking time, without fail WTF

[Munchies]

Fuck sake

COYG

Must win game ffs

[GP]

Why are they treating him on the pitch???


Get him off FFS!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fonte's face has fallen off I think.

[Niall_Quinn]

Why on't they get some surgeons on the pitch too? And maybe set up a recovery room and invite the family to camp on the halfway line.

Fucking ridiculous.

[Niall_Quinn]

1 min extra time then I suppose. Unless we score.

[Niall_Quinn]

That's fucking ridiculous. No yellow. Fucking ridiculous.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Forster. :banghead:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Genuinely close to tears atm. We're screwing this up.

[Niall_Quinn]

Constant fouling now. We've even got a FK, it's that bad.

[GP]

Lee Mason is an actual cunt.

[GP]

Elbow this time, again, nothing given.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ward-Prowse off, Juanmi on.

[adzzzbatch]

We're fucked. But what a CUNT this ref is.

[Ralpheroo72]

A million miles away from the title. Buys a player, and doesnt make the bench? WTF? City get Pep, we get Pap.

[selassie]

Genuinely close to tears atm. We're screwing this up.

I'm numb to it all now TEG, can't be bothered to invest my emotions in it. All our rivals are winning aswell.

[Munchies]

Coq coming on lmao

[Özim]

Nice to see we were keen to put the 4-0 drubbing by them earlier in the season to bed. Clearly we were up for this match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

You've got to be kidding me.

[Özim]

I'm numb to it all now TEG, can't be bothered to invest my emotions in it. All our rivals are winning aswell.

We've seen this before haven't we?

No bottle, a common trait of the Wenger teams of the last decade.

[Power n Glory]

Fuck!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Flamini off, Coquelin on.

Why now? :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

This is pretty unbelievable - like there's some sort of curse in effect.

[Munchies]

Wenger, please fuck off already

[The Emirates Gallactico]

I'm numb to it all now TEG, can't be bothered to invest my emotions in it. All our rivals are winning aswell.

It's the hope that kills you. I really thought we would do the business this year.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mane off, Targett on.

[Niall_Quinn]

L'Idiot brings Coquelin on with 5 mins to go :haha:

This guy is in some sort of fantasy world.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

For the love of god someone just pub one in from 30 yards. please.

[selassie]

We've seen this before haven't we?

No bottle, a common trait of the Wenger teams of the last decade.

Yep, it's laughable that we're seeing the likes of Leicester & The Spuds properly challenge for the title whilst we screw it up.

[Niall_Quinn]

Flamini off, Coquelin on.

Why now? :haha:

Computer worked it all out.

[GP]

Instant yellow. Of course.

[Munchies]

It's the hope that kills you. I really thought we would do the business this year.

Same.

Today is the day I finally admit defeat.

Best chance and it's gone.

Fuck.

:(

[Niall_Quinn]

Coquelin booked :haha:

Mason :haha:

Little bit cheating cunt.

[Maestro]

We've been playing shit for over a month now, and watching this team, I can't help but feel their confidence is shot to pieces

[Power n Glory]

Bellerin's an idiot for running into a wall. Forces the tackle.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gabriel booked. I can't see us scoring.

[Niall_Quinn]

We've been playing shit for over a month now, and watching this team, I can't help but feel their confidence is shot to pieces

Wouldn't you be confused, bemused and bereft of all hope if you were being managed by that turd?

[adzzzbatch]

Believable shit.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Same.

Today is the day I finally admit defeat.

Best chance and it's gone.

Fuck.

:(

And next year we face:

City with Pep
Chelsea with Simeone probably
Utd with Mourinho probably
Pool with Klopp
Spurs with Pochettino

Someone just shoot me now. We're never going to do this.

[Niall_Quinn]

Another booking.

We've been SOOOOO dirty. Poor old Soton.

[Power n Glory]

Ramsey is so shit.

[Niall_Quinn]

And next year we face:

City with Pep
Chelsea with Simeone probably
Utd with Mourinho probably
Pool with Klopp
Spurs with Pochettino

Someone just shoot me now. We're never going to do this.

Wenger hanging on like skunk odour has pretty much killed us a viable title contender. 10 years past his sell by date.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey shoots, straight at Forster.

Six added minutes.

[Niall_Quinn]

6 mins added.

If we want to be in this title hunt then we better do it now.

[GP]

Is Theo even on the pitch??

[Munchies]

Wenger hanging on like skunk odour has pretty much killed us a viable title contender. 10 years past his sell by date.

:gp:

[Niall_Quinn]

Is Theo even on the pitch??

Yes. It's a big problem.

[Maestro]

Is Theo even on the pitch??

Over £100k a week just going missing on that pitch, just when you need it most

[Power n Glory]

Fucking Aaron Ramsey!

[Static]

Cya

[adzzzbatch]

Bunch of cunts the lot of em.

[Maestro]

Wenger sitting on the bench nervously and helplessly playing with a rubber band WTF old man

[Power n Glory]

Fuck are you doing?

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger won't play somebody with the slightest, slightest knock. But he leaves injured players on the pitch.

Was there no yellow for that foul? :haha: Ludicrous.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

please someone ....

[Power n Glory]

Bellerin has been shite with the crossing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 FT. Absolute shit Wenger.

[Marc Overmars]

Trash

[LDG]

Bullshit

[Maestro]

And next year we face:

City with Pep
Chelsea with Simeone probably
Utd with Mourinho probably
Pool with Klopp
Spurs with Pochettino

Someone just shoot me now. We're never going to do this.

If we're not careful, not dispensing with Wenget will come back to haunt us as we saunter into the title wilderness again for another decade

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Bollocks. Fuck off.

[Niall_Quinn]

That fucking cunt Mason blows just as we are about to cross the ball. He's a serious fucking cheat that cunt.

[selassie]

That's it guys, no chance we're winning PL this season, City are winning, Leicester are winning, Spurs are winning, we're drawing and losing, always the same with this mob.

[Power n Glory]

Fuck off! Bunch of fucking useless fucking cunts!

[adzzzbatch]

Why do we fucking bother with this circus?

[Ralpheroo72]

Best chance in a long time to win the title, but we have Wenger. This club will not be close to the title again. Fuck them all!

[Niall_Quinn]

If we're not careful, not dispensing with Wenget will come back to haunt us as we saunter into the title wilderness again for another decade

Yeah. He's doing real damage to our football now. He has not the slightest clue how to use these players to build a team. Whoever replaces him in 2056 will have to build our football from the ground up.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Same shit, different season despite having on paper better players.

There's only one constant in all this and that's Wenger. He's not cut out to deliver a title.


Tuchel in please.
