Watched the beat down at Old Trafford so I have no idea what happened in this.
RVP. :bow:
That is all.
Excellent game from Gervinho - nice to have a winger that can beat players consistently, and a well taken goal too. (tm)
Kos and Song also had excellent games. I thought Arteta was much more involved and took risks worth taking. Had it not been for a dodgy freekick leading to their goal (and a clearcut penalty for us), we'd have won that even more comfortably.
Very good performance - that 15 mins spell around about the time Van Persie came on was as good as we've played for a long time. The passing was quick and accurate.

RvP is the biz. Bad decision by Wenger to leave him out, Chamakh was (of course) utter shit. Walcott was slightly worse. Both these players are a total waste of space and we played the first 70 minutes with 9 men. It showed. Once we got our top players on the pitch it was all over. Vital win and we battled well for the second time in as many weeks to hang on to the lead, good stuff. Highly encouraging from Gervinho who was a lot less wasteful today. Defence did okay, Chesney was the weakest link today with some barmy decision making. But we had enough to keep the dreadful Stoke kick and rush, lump it long and chuck and hope "game" at bay.
More progress but Wenger still can't help tinkering and risking derailment.
Ref was an utter, utter, utter, cock.

Considering that he's still fit, and we won the game how was it a bad decision?
Given a half decent ref and we would have been 2-0 at half time.

You don't leave your top striker out when he's on form. Especially if you're going to replace him with the worst player in PL history.

Gerv showed us what he can do for a whole game today, as we had only seen glimpses till now. . .good buy
Kos and Merts plsyed well together as well, we can complain about their goal but it was extremely well worked and a number of teams would have been caught out too.
Wenger saying we are better at set pieces was obviously referring to convential ones. . .a few more training sessions for the half dozen brain cells our defence possesses for more advanced fks.
RvP is the man but we so clearly have no ther option up front in the role Wenger insists using every game, Chamak held up play well a few times but his strikers instinct is about as alive as a T-Rex.
Great result, best striker in the world, we are slowly getting things right.

Wouldn't got that far, there's a fair few players vying for that position of best in the world.

At the moment we only have a few players on form. We need the rest to start pulling their weight, because there will be games when RVP, Gervinho, Koscielny are off colour and lose their form, and if Walcott, Arteta, Chamakh etc aren't able to step up, we're in deep trouble. We've got a lot of games coming up and our squad is going to be tested to the limit.

Good win against a formidable ref. Any chance Stoke had came from him giving them soft free kicks.
Koscielny and Mertesacker looking good together. Arteta still unimpressive. Ramsey much improved. Song very good again.
Djourou not causing a disaster for two games in a row is the biggest plus.
Chamakh and Walcott anonymous. Oxface and Gervinho on the wings is the way forward. Arshavin is a useful sub.

I thought we were good today. RvP is made of balse wood, we can't play him twice a week so I think sometimes we have to rest him but he's so important to us we need him on the bench and he was excellent agian today during this cameo.
Overall it felt more like watching Arsenal today, even when it went back to 1-1 I was reasonably confident if we kept playing like we were we'd win it. They looked more confident today and the passing at 3-1 was getting closer to 'the Arsenal way' as we've played under Wenger. Not like in the real glory days of course but we have to accept we're not at that level any more but it was a lot better than I've seen for most of thos season.
Job done. Top 3 is as good as sewn up but we're more established in the chasing pack now.

Missed the first half, but the second half was excellent - We played good football and held our own physically against the thugs. Gervinho was superb - watching it with an American and a French person in China they commented how the guy with the big forehead was doing everything. They also proceeded to ask if his forehead was natural - well, I don't think they offer forehead implants yet.
RVP of course made the difference with his positioning and control in the area, but I don't think you can criticise Wenger for starting him on the bench. Those (Zim) who would criticise him for that would be the first on his back if he gets injured because he's played when not fully fit. Wenger stated he wasn't 100%, so a perfectly justified decision. Yes, we need someone who can do a job in his place though.
Tony Pulis is, as always an utter cunt. I see on his post match comments on the BBC he said: "But Arsenal have got players who cost £16m on the bench, and that's why they are where they are". Trying to portray us to be some Man City style club when Stoke's net spend has been greater in each of the past 5 seasons than ours.

All of us are at different stages in accepting we aren't in the top tier any more. It grates. It's even worse when you consider we could still be there, if things had been handled just a little differently. Wenger certainly shares some of the blame for that but it shouldn't be overlooked in recent years he's had to contend with a bunch of cunts whose sole aim has been to strip the club of as much money as possible. These bastards left us on the edge of disaster. Our best players sold, the remaining players undoubtedly looking around and thinking WTF? The manager under intense pressure, unable to field a PL strength side at Old Trafford and picking up our worst pasting in our history as a result. Things could have gone very badly, things could be a lot worse. But the manager and the players have battled back and that has to count for something no matter what we feel in general about what's happening at the club. The enemy played its trump card, cashed in and did a runner. We staggered but we didn't collapse. There's a strength that can be gained from this, maybe, finally the ability to handle pressure. It's still fragile but the direction is positive. Now it's the team, the fans and, regardless of who approves or disapproves, the manager who will dictate what happens for the remainder of this season. We can stick together or fragment. If we stick together we have a prayer, if we fragment we have nothing. Next week sees our first major test since this recovery began. Do we want to go into that game urging the team on or do we want to spend the time waving Wenger Out banners? Which is more constructive and more likely to get us the result I'm sure we all want?
When it comes down to it, my view is different - as long as I see players working their bollocks off on the pitch, I will be proud of the team effort which could (but often isn't) be completely detached from the result. In recent weeks we have at least seen some urgency and resilience. The quality is not there and we probably won't finish in the top 4 but I can easily deal with that as long as the players are visibly working for their ridiculous pay checks. It's subjective as to how you can tell a player is 'working hard' - some players have better stamina etc....I look for players looking to try something different when things aren't working, I look for players taking responsibility and looking to drive forward or try an ambitious ball (sometimes could be mistaken for being careless or wasteful), I look for the opponents not being allowed an easy passage into our half. I think we ticked all those boxes against Stoke and got a deserved result. Plenty of new things to talk about - Gervinho showing what he could be capable of, Kos dealing with teams he usually would struggle against.
I really don't get the point of going through the same Wenger vs the board shit after every game. And anyone with a "meh..what's the point of celebrating the win? We're not going to win the title" view should just be laughed at or ignored. There's clearly nothing to work with there to form any interesting debate.

Muscular tightness apparently.
Wenger said after the game that RvP was right on the edge of an injury but that they thought he could manage half an hour. "He used it well" he said.
Wenger thought '15 times' whether he should he leave him on the bench considering his injury history, and his long term importance to the team. In the final analysis it looks like the a very good decision.
A shame we don't have the back-up to rest him for the entire game.
I don't hate Chamakh but I kind of wish he'd play a bit better.
We need to see more of Park Chu Young, not sure why we bought him if we're not going to play him.

Wenger said Park would play a big part in the season but he just wanted to give him time to get fit etc. Apparently he has been impressing a lot in training but that means nothing when it's coming from the manager. Also worth noting that Wenger does this quite often for certain players. When we bought Eduardo, Wenger took a fair bit of time before he played him regularly.
I think Oxo and Park will feature much more regularly from now on. (They'll have to...mass injuries are around the corner as always).

according to the club he picked up a niggling injury while on international duty which is the reason why he isn't fit enough to start games, not that he would anyway as for some reason that only God and Wenger are party to we play Walcott. He is never going to play as the apex striker he just isn't that player.
He should play wide left in the CC against Bolton though so maybe he can get to a level where he might get a prem game

We ain't winning the title this year, that much is clear. And we're certainly not the side we were. But we're on a good run and yesterday in particular I thought we started to look quite good again. One of the best performances of the season IMO.
We had a disasterous summer and a horrible start to the season but there are signs that we might be turning the corner. I, for one, think that's a good thing.
You can't disassociate the two, the guy is so deeply embedded in the club it's sickening....from the transfer, youths, types of players and coaching to the finances.
Truthfully, thanks to Wenger there's not an awful lot I like about the club at the moment...a handful of players perhaps, certainly lost interest in watching these days as many others have...that's noone's fault but Wenger's.
His philosophy is seriously flawed, what compounds this problem is his unwillingess to admit the flaws in it and this pretense that we're some kind of special team waiting to spring out of the woodwork.

Like your face...
I do agree with some of your post actually although IMO the problems which make football not much fun any more are problems throughout football, not just at Arsenal.
Anyway, I thought we were better yesterday and we're on a good run which may come to a screeching halt on Saturday but it would be no disgrace to lose at Stamford Bridge. I've seen a few signs recently that we're not as bad as the start to the season indicated. I'd love to know what's gone on at the club over the summer. I don't for one minute think Wenger is solely to blame for it but neither do I think he's blameless. For now though the ship has been steadied, we've got ourselves back in the mix in the race for CL places so let's hope we push on from there.

Based on yesterday's performance, the board has done a good job to steady the ship. The board is to be blamed for the demise, might as well praise them for the 6 out of 7 wins.

So true. Like when thieves rob a bank and the customer asks, what about my money, is it gone? And the manager says, don't worry sir your money is safe. So the grateful customers says - :bow: bank robbers

And he's been shit in each and every game. I agree with the original post, if we can start Chamakh and still overcome such a handicap then it means the rest of the team must be playing well.

Chamakh could be to us what Theo is to England. Whenever he has started, England have never lost.
Don't know anything else that they have in common tbh.
NQ may though.

Both are hyped beyond belief. Both have failed massively to deliver. I'll give Chamakh one favourable point though - at least he keeps his mouth shut.

To be fair he was very good in France and the champs league. (They played two up front that's why)

Besides nobody said he was brilliant. I remember the talk being that he could be useful and it's worth a go signing an experienced player who has scored CL goals as a free signing. That's what I thought, anyway.
Though 'useful' seems a bit of a stretch these days. We're pretty much playing with 10 when he's on the pitch.

As shit as we make him out to be. . .I do feel we play him slightly out of his zone!
He does not have the skill or intelligence to play the lone striker. . .I mean it is so bizarre, we ask him to play exactly the same role RvP plays and they couldnt be any more different
He needs to have at least someone beside him and at least 100 decent crosses fired in at him and then, only then we might see a bit of productivity. . . .because there is no way he can do the pretty stuff

He operates exactly the same way as Heskey.

When he first came, he brought something else to our game - someone good in the air and who could make good use of crosses. In the more traditional striker role, he was hesitant and ineffective as a result. The hesitancy and ineffectiveness has now permeated every aspect of his game. He offers us nothing and in many instances, when brought on, he seems to suck whatever life there is out of our game.

But we create so many chances and hes supposed to be a Cl class striker, he should be scoring more when played. But we only bought him in case RvP got injured and (touch wood( he hasny and wont, and no other better player than Chmack will sit on the bench as often as he does.
