[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on you idiots!

[GP]

I feel sick

[Mac76]

0-3 Coquelin hatter

[Letters]

Come on you idiots!

:gp:

Really hard to call. We are certainly capable of winning this, but equally capable of falling flat on our stupid incompetent faces.

[Marc Overmars]

We’re capable of doing it but you probably wouldn’t bet on us to turn it around.

Sure most of these guys know they’re playing for their futures tonight. Including Arteta.

Yep I agree, I'm not very confident about tonight but I'll put myself through the potential misery anyway, it's in my blood!

Arteta should be given his marching orders come the end of the season if we don't get through tonight, he has no credit left as far as I am concerned.

[Mac76]

i think they'll get to the final just so we can be let down in the biggest way possible, with Ole at the wheel

[Bumble]

i think they'll get to the final just so we can be let down in the biggest way possible, with Ole at the wheel

yeah seems most likely scenario... prolonging the pointlessness of the season.

[GP]

Leno
Bellerin
Holding
Mari
Xhaka
Partey
ESR
Odegaard
Saka
Pepe
Auba

[LDG]

100mph start please. From us preferably.

[Marc Overmars]

Come on you cunts.

Just turn up for 2 more games.

[Letters]

Come on you cunts.

Just turn up for 2 more games.

This one and one of the meaningless end of season league ones? :unsure:

[Mac76]

None of that back four is first choice for me

[Mac76]

At least we have Tierney, Laca, Martinelli and Chambo on the bench to bring on once we're two - nil down...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on you useless twats.

[Mac76]

sounds like it's Phil Neville's sister again on the commentary team

[Mac76]

Xhaka injured :haha: :haha: :haha:

there's hope after all :)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leno saves.

[Marc Overmars]

Leno with some Hollywood shit already

[LDG]

Is chambers injured? Bellers is done

[Mac76]

Is chambers injured? Bellers is done

no, just another bad choice from Arteta

[LDG]

no, just another bad choice from Arteta

He has been shit for three years now. Get rid while people think he’s amazing

[LDG]

Bellers out of position and struggling again

[Marc Overmars]

Looks like Villarreal could pass it around all night without us making a tackle.

[Mac76]

Bellers out of position and struggling again

Chambo is so much more on it and positive in his play - maybe Arteta is keepoing him on the bench in case he needs him to slot into CB again, it's the only reaosn i can think of for playing Bellerin ahead of him

[Mac76]

Looks like Villarreal could pass it around all night without us making a tackle.

yeah we're not pressing well

[Mac76]

why does ESR keep passing backwards?

[Mac76]

the goalie looks weak in the air - we need to keep looping balls in

[Mac76]

Saka puts it out of danger...

[LDG]

Fuck off Leno. You caused the free kick you tosser

[Mac76]

Tierney :lol:

[LDG]

Auba hits the post!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Unlucky Auba.

[Mac76]

decent effort from Auba

[Letters]

Good effort. Come on, boys!

[LDG]

Why is Bellerin playing inside right!! Fuck off you tosser, you’re a right back

[Mac76]

Phil's sister is right they're just not moving the ball quickly enough, anyone would think Xhaka was still playing

[Mac76]

Holding and Bellerin is a really dodgy combination

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nearly chucked one in for us!

[Mac76]

close again from Auba

[Mac76]

they need to put that goalie under as much pressure as possible

[Mac76]

near OG from Mari :faint:

[Mac76]

Saka having a shocker

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT. :rose:

[Mac76]

0-0 HT... :wacko:

[Letters]

near OG from Mari :faint:

Wasn’t as near as I thought. From the first angle I was panicking a bit!

0-0 HT. That’s ok. No need to panic.
Not an amazing performance but we’ve asked a few questions. Need to push on 2nd half.
Really need to be moving the ball forward quicker.
All this “playing it out from the back” stuff. I honestly don’t get why this is thought to be a good thing.

[Mac76]

nobody but a few football managers do - unfortunately Arteta is one of them

its about mixing it up, City first goal on tuesday was the keeper kicking it over the half way line to counter. reclkon we are going to still sneak through.

[Mac76]

bellerin's pathetic

[Mac76]

first Croydon de Bruyne mention of the night...

[Letters]

This is better so far. More urgency. Come on, boys!

[Bumble]

that was lucky

[Letters]

that was lucky

It was. We are so prone to give away chances like that. :sick:

[Mac76]

bellerin gives the ball away again

[Letters]

Good move. Poor cross but there was no-one on the end of it anywhere.

[Mac76]

time to bring on Martinelli

[Mac76]

and Chambo for Bellerin

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We only need a goal. :lol:

Never going to happen.

[Letters]

I love ESR, I do.

[Mac76]

time to bring on Martinelli

:gp: :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martinelli on to save us. :bow:

[Mac76]

this is dreadful

[Letters]

Ah. Pleased to see we've stopped all that urgency nonsense.

:doh:

[Mac76]

partey nutmegged :lol:

[Mac76]

Leno :rolleyes:

[Xhaka Can’t]

If we keep practicing passing it back to Leno, we should eventually get it right.

[Letters]

Right. I've decided we should score now.

[Letters]

Or just head it over. That's fine too.


:ilt:

[Mac76]

Laca coming on :popcorn:

[Bumble]

VAR penalty anyone?

[Mac76]

Villareal are just defending well and Emery knows we're too shit to break through

[Xhaka Can’t]

Good ball in

[Letters]

partey nutmegged :lol:

£45m well spent... :(

[Mac76]

dreadful corner from saka is followed by a dreadful shot from Martinelli

[Letters]

dreadful corner from saka is followed by a dreadful shot from Martinelli

Literally 7 yards wide :rolleyes:

[Mac76]

Willian coming on - watch out villareal...

[Letters]

Willian coming on to save us :bow:

[Mac76]

:faint:

[Letters]

FUCKFUCKFUCK!!!

:doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba off, Lacazette on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tierney off, Willian on.

[Letters]

Bloody hell...


Who knew that breaking with pace could be effective?

Come on, you twats?

[Xhaka Can’t]

It’s not going to be our night.

[Bumble]

the keeper is dross yet we still cant put him under enough pressure

[Letters]

It’s not going to be our night.

We are just too easy to shut out. Back in the day sure, we leaked too many at the back but you'd always fancy us to get a goal.
Now, defend well against us and you've got a clean sheet.

[Letters]

STOP GIVING AWAY FREE KICKS, YOU WANKERS!!

[Letters]

Oh fuck off, Partey.
How do these journeyman, average players end up costing £40-50m?
It's ridiculous. These are ordinary players.

[Bumble]

be a good time to score

[Letters]

And, of course, we can't deliver a corner. These are professional players. Allegedly right at the top level.
Pathetic.

[Mac76]

another shit corner from Willian

that's what signing duds really costs - at some point you have to play them and they are crap

[Mac76]

how much ET is there?

[Xhaka Can’t]

We’ve been fucked over so many times late on in Europe. Just once I’d like us to fuck some fuckers over.

[Letters]

how much ET is there?

5 minutes. Could be 500 and it wouldn't make any difference.

[Mac76]

Nketiah's on - when did that happen...?

[Xhaka Can’t]

180 minutes against a shit keeper and one penalty to show for it.

[Mac76]

180 minutes against a shit keeper and one penalty to show for it.

no excuses, we've been shit

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 FT. Miserable.

[Letters]

0-0 FT

Pathetic

[Letters]

180 minutes against a shit keeper and one penalty to show for it.

Auba was a bit unlucky but other than that we didn't put him under any pressure at all.

[Mac76]

Coquelin on the ball when the ref blows the whistle - sums it up...

[Xhaka Can’t]

Coquelin on the ball when the ref blows the whistle - sums it up...

A Coque sucker punch.

[LDG]

Fucking bollocks.

People may point fingers at the current manager and players, but this is the result of cunts who don’t care. Cunts who have billions of pounds, who give zero fucks about the club.

Fucking shit

no we've enough in that team to do better, but Arteta's tactics, selections and man-management have been dreadful - it's over

[Bumble]

And, of course, we can't deliver a corner. These are professional players. Allegedly right at the top level.
Pathetic.

to be fair Pires was fairly poor at corners... he was just rather good at other things

[LDG]

Is it Arteta who has put us this low down?

If Emery was our manager tonight, would you have been more or less happy?

I think Tets has a lot to learn, but as we have learned time an time again from players, and coaches leaving this club...they generally go on and get laid.

Its the owners. You get what you put in. Thing is they have their result, and thats capital.

Haven't we spent a shit-ton of money on players in the last few years?
We spunked £45m on Partey who is frankly ordinary. And our wage bill is one of the highest in the country.
I mean, Kronke out, obviously, but we have been spending money.
Our return of investment has to be the worst in the league, how are we managing to spend this much to be this ordinary?

[dazthegooner]

Not sure if anyone it available at the moment to take over but if there is get him now.

[selassie]

Yep, he couldn't even get the team playing at a decent pace in the first half, he's totally out of his depth. The experiment should be put to bed now, he talks a good game and delivers fuck all. Off you go son.

Its funny that our deals always seem high purchase low sell, agents fee must do well.

Partey is a good purchase, and anyone who watched the game tonight would understand that having no midfield partner is a bit of a a cunt for a CM. He needs time. He’ll be alright.

The players that fucked it tonight are Bellerin, who was all over the shop, Pepe (awful purchase) who seemed to be there for comedy value alone. Felt so sorry for ESR as he is a genious

[Mac76]

Arteta playing him ahead of Chambers was yet another howler in a very long list

[dazthegooner]

And low and behold guess who has scored for Newcastle? Yep Willock <_<

I should add in th cold light of day, that investors are generally looking for a return on the capital they sink into the business.

With football, and football inflation, his investment was bound to double, treble....he didn’t need to do anything. Arsene at the wheel, top four....blah. Fuck improvement....

Even going backwards, his investment has reaped huge reward.

The fact he has the club as collateral against his US sporting enterprise speaks words. He doesn’t give a fucking shit if we blow 100million on a player that isn’t from his own pocket...thats gate receipts.

Stan doesn’t give a fuck....his fortune is not affected in the slightest. And he doesn’t hold anyone accountable for poor performance. He doesn’t have any interest in Arsenals affairs
