I agree, there are so many times where I promise myself I'll turn my back on this club but it doesn't happen. Because your football club is like a child, often disappoints you and causes you sleepless nights but you love it even though at times you wish you didn't.Quote:

The joys of being an Arsenal fan eh?
Football is the drug that keeps us abusing our sanity.Quote:

"Its back on" "Walcott double proves hes a world beater" "Giroud winner puts him level on goals as Aguero" - the same old, same old shit that we get from delusional Gooners & brain dead journo's after a win. Forget sneaking wins against 10 men Leicester , not being able or clever enough to break down the might of Hull or getting beat by Utd U21's - the plain & simple fact that we ALL see with our own eyes every week is a shit system of play where we take forever to get the ball forward & when we do it end up at the feet of a brain dead footballer who 80% of the time will make the wrong decision. That is the reality of what Wenger is serving up now, he has no idea how to break teams down, how long have we played against teams that park the bus & yet he plays 2 DM's therfore reducing our forward options and ability to open up tight defences. Its so obvious its comical - its stuff under 12 managers can see & put right within minutes of seeing it. Wenger didnt even change our formation at home to Hull at half time when it was obvious our CB's needed no assistance whatsoever.Quote:

They defended well and made many fouls in the middle of the park that stopped our flow. I think that’s a little problem in the modern game
This guy has lost it completely this time.
Also the away goals rule needs to be changed. I think if we can get that changed and the refs get on board with some of the deliberate defending that is becoming common in the modern game, if we can factor in keepers sometimes opting to save our shots, we can make the mental adjustment and be right back in this title chase. Provided nobody tries to tap up our players and Leicester don't unfairly overspend redecorating their changing rooms, I think for the normal fan who hasn't made 20,000 substitutions and should really just fuck off and support the spuds if they don't like it, these major issues can seem less important than what happens on the pitch. It's also the 29th Feb today, very unlucky we should have to play such a major game a day before the extra day in a leap year. Did it affect the result, who can say? But even though it certainly did, we have to bounce back and come out stronger for our next game. We shouldn't overreact, it's not as like any of this has happened before - we need to cope with these new experiences with togetherness and great spirit.Quote:

Merson just hit the first nail on the coffin. Hope more journos pick this up and pile the pressure on Wenger. That man is running out of excuses.. time to go!! :wave:

Someone may have wised up to how badly we miss Cazorla and the problem we have in midfield but I'm not sure why he's focused on Coquelin if we miss Cazorla. :unsure:
Been saying this for donkeys, Ramsey is a serious problem in the midfield. Even when playing with Arteta and he had Wilshere alongside, it was a similar shower of shit. Going back further where he was getting booed by the fans, our midfield lacked fluency and it took Rosicky to replace him for us to find our fluency. It's always been the case that our CB's are having make a lot of passes. He doesn't track back to work the ball from deep. He's brain dead and I don't know why nobody has taken him to task on it. It's a reoccurring pattern.
