There is no point saying this and that players are slow, no runners, no decent cross. If the whole lot are not doing right, then the problem lies with the manager. Blind support FTWQuote:

podolski, well its time for him to go, he gives it the big i love Arsenal on twitter etc, yet on the pitch does nothing, he is lazy, disinterested and not worth starting. Arsene got his tactics wrong completely today, Ozil and the Ox looked great when they came on, but it was too late. title challenge is finished, and if he even thinks about resting players for everton because of the bayern game, there will be riots
Big wins? What are you, new to supporting Arsenal? You know that we do fuck all when the big games turn up! :lol:Quote:

Don't think we've played well for quite a while now, other than the odd game here and there, can't remember the last time we showed good form.
For the past year, a key strength of our has been an ability, regardless of how we were playing, to beat all those teams we were expected to beat. It looks like we have lost that now with the poor performances leading to dropped points against Southampton and now Stoke.
I understand the ref may have got it wrong with the pel, but so what? A draw was no good either, and you aren't going to win if you score zero goals.
It seems a forlorn hope - but all our eggs are now in the FA Cup basket.

The sad thing is you're right and we cannot go into the game versus Everton like we did today because I'm pretty sure they'll be up for it.Quote:

It wasn't the right team to really get around Stoke, but they created nothing at all. Once it was obvious something different was needed, Oxlade should have been the first to be brought on. He was our best player by far while he was on, but the changes were too late to have any effect.
That Stoke generally outplayed has to be the biggest embarrassment of the season. They had chances before the pelanty too. I've not seen the replay, but if hands are in the air, it's always likely to go against you, especially if you're an Arsenal player.
Stoke got away with nasty kicks and rakes and Adam should have been off for his stamp. But even then, we were so poor that they probably would have repelled our non-attacks with ten men with ease.
The defence were fine again, but they can't make up for an attack that only functions in fits and starts.
Horrible performance and poor management has now put our season on the brink in unnecessary fashion.
If we recover from this, it will be quite the achievement.
Giroud/Sanogo/Bentner all have to leave
Nor do I trust Wenger to oversee a transfer window again. We had to push on in Jan, and he done fuck all.
Fucking cunt.
Yep, Groundhog Day. This is all on wenger. Bad couple of results and we will be bricking it about finishing fourth.
Hope a succession plan is being worked out so we don't do a united when we finally ditch the complacent old sod.
