Oh I agree with you 100% I just mean it's pretty shit in generall that we're bracing ourselfs for a home defeat to swansea.

To be honest looking at their chances, it could easily have been 4 or 5 today, Chesney made some excellent saves.

That he did! I don't rate him as 1st choice keeper anymore, he's been found out big time, but he certainly earned his money today with some very good saves. Sadly he does tend to cause more problems than save us from them.

Shit's fucking depressing.

I can't even string a cogent sentence describing the debilitating effects this farce of a team is having on me. It's fucking dire.

This is not my Arsenal. Those imposters are not worthy of being called Arsenal players. They simply aren't of the fabric. For this, Wenger must be put to the sword. It was he who brought every single one of those pieces of shit here -the shameless, worthless, odious dregs that threaten to drag us through the depths of the grimmiest sewers.

This travesty against our great and illustrious club needs to be checked. The slimy profit mongering vampires at the top, sucking away every blood of pride, need to be staked as well.

From top to bottom, every nook and cranny, every crevice, every square inch, all the rot, the stink emanating from within the walls of the club, all need to be cleansed. This is not some hurry come up club. This is a club of class, with envied history and grandeur. This is the fucking Arsenal.

Fuck off Stan Kroenke

Fuck Peter Hill-Wood

Fuck off Ivan Gazidis

Fuck off Arsene Wenger

Fuck off shameless pile of dross players - all unfit to even wear a hand me down Arsenal shirt.

Just watched the first half. If we had better players than Gervinho and Walcott we'd have gone in with a fairly straightforward lead. I think what's happening here is people are remembering the end of the game and a loss and applying it to what was a fairly even first half in terms of meaningful incidents.

Swansea were as poor as we are. They are very open at the back and down the flanks. But they have better players than us in the final third. But certainly nothing special. We stood off them and failed to put any pressure on the ball and they used the space competently. Nothing more. Can't understand all the plaudits they are getting. Maybe they improved in the second half, we'll see.

Gibbs was appalling for the first 45 minutes.

Cazorla very ordinary and Wilshere nowhere near top form.

I don't like the cheating by Gervinho and Cazorla either. Horrible.

Terrible performance by Gervinho up to being subbed, which was his best moment. A very low quality player. Walcott is not much better, 90% of what he does is awful. Whether the other 10% is worth it, hard to say. If we replace those two with quality we could bring Podolski and Giroud into games a lot more.

Score line didn't reflect the game at all. Very much a gift courtesy of our poor central defenders, including Merts who seems to get a free pass these days. Second goal was a mistake by Jenkinson. However, the failure of anyone to support the kid when he was man on was telling. They'd given up at a goal down. Not many players with character in this team.

Ironically a better performance today, better passing, better crossing. But a loss instead of a draw. Swansea very average but took their gift well.

Ches, good show.
Jenkinson, one of the better players up until a key mistake.
Gibbs, terrible
Arteta, a shadow
Verm, average
Merts, average
Cazorla, lacks bottle
Wilshere, not back to his best
Gervinho, waste of a shirt
Podolski, not being utilised, a lazy German?
Walcott, guy can't do even the basics

Wenger. Stupid to start Gervinho over Giroud. And even then Gervinho should never have been allowed back on the pitch after the break. We may well have bagged 3 points today if it Giroud had started.

The defense is a shambles. Worsens bad as ever. Don't think we'll ever get that sorted.

Not a terrible performance, overreaction here is crazy, unlucky to lose, Swansea nothing special either. Better decisions from Wenger and better players than Gervinho and Walcott and we could turn this back around.
