All this match does is illustrate what has been said all close-season and in terms of the result being something to celebrate, it is not. This is just half-time.

It's our 4th win since the Carling Cup final.

Shows how low standards have dropped that any old result is being celebrated.

Forget about what should have been done, its toatally irrlevent to my point.

We've played to games and your crying like we have gone the season relegated ffs.

Couldn't give a toss to be honest, I don't care about our 2-3 missing players which we should have cover for, or those players who have departed and we should have bought cover for.

We should be ready and have all we need at this stage, the season has started and you can therefore judge what you see, what I saw was a shower of sh*t. There's no more leeway now, not after 6 years.

Italian football isn't that great these days either, Udinese lost their best players as well, yet they were better than us and deserved more, if we repeat this we'll get turned over in Italy.

There's only one excuse, the sorry excuse for a manager we have.

I didnt think this a couple of months ago but i think it now, midfield looks shit.

Cesc is gone, Nasri is going, Ramsey not yet good enough, Song is a DM playing as an AM and a shit one at that, Frimpong is a pub teamer

Wilshere cant do it on his own.

Parker is needed asap. Get Hargreaves in as well tbh and keep him fit

No goals conceded, a 1 goal lead. OK, 10-0 would have been nicer but I'll take a lead with a clean sheet.

I don't get it, it's only half time yet we results wise we pretty much did what we needed to do, that's without RVP, Nasri and a shit tone of new signings. Would you have had the attitude "this is just half time" if we where 5 nill down. Hence my indignation at all this phoney outrage at what should have been a humbling defeat knowing what we should have known about the squad.

I think outrage in this case is defined as refusing to chant "Wenger knows"

Pretty much, no excuses for shovelling out this kind of sh*t, the summer was there to sort things out after a shocking end to the season last season...guess what nothing's been sorted and we look even weaker.

On top of that we have some deluded guy telling us Oxo cube, Gervinho, Miyake and Jenkinson are all new signings and that we don't necessarily need more players unless they're of super quality (which I can only translate as sh*t from what I've seen of his view of super quality).

It's f*cking laughable.

A performance that gives some degree of confidence the return leg won't be a complete lottery would be better.

So now the defence isn't good enough, the midfield is lacking and we're poor up front.

Sounds like a major rebuild is required to me.

Looking at the squad we had, I expected us to lose. I'm done complaining about why our squad is as small as it is - but it seems like all it takes is a poorish performance and a 1 - 0 win to set off all the moans.
