I don't buy the excuse the players were frail. We were handily winning that match and looked like we could score a bag full. But when you have a manager that pumps poison gas onto the pitch your performance is going to get a bit chaotic. Why does he always go conservative when we grab a lead? How many leads does he need to see slip away before it dawns we are better off playing to our strengths. That's - PACE and MOVEMENT btw Arsene, the shit you won stuff with, remember? Not tip and tap and square and back.
Could be worse. I was afraid it was the United game. Trust us to give Van Genius and his boys a much needed pick me up. On to the next game...Quote:

It just isn't worth feeling anything about Arsenal any more.
It's at home so we'll probably struggle our way to a draw.Quote:

If I was Wenger I would have felt ashamed at this kind of bottle job the FIRST time it happened, and make sure it never happens again. The fact that we see this kind of shit happen every fucking season is embarrassing and is proof that Wenger doesn't know what he's doing.
Time Wenger and board saw that he is well past his sell by date. Arsenal have on paper the best team in years yet same old problems continue. As usual Wenger can't or won't see it.
Ah yes, miss adzzz mentioned about that in a couple of weeks :lol:Quote:

So when Sanchez gets disillusioned about our lack of haste in challenging for things and wants out, will he be a cun*?

Lets be honest he is carrying this team atm, no wonder we're getting so many comparisons with Liverpool and suarez.Quote:

If he joins the stinking chavs or gypos or the scum at utd then sure, why wouldn't we? But if he went abroad then good luck to him. He's way too good for us. Such a fucking shame. He must have been buzzing at HT.Quote:

Alexis owes this Club nothing. He can go wherever and we'd have no business crying about it.

Gazidis won't get in a guy that he can't control. He's probably had enough of wenger just like most of us. I remember when Ivan came out with that wonderful statement last summer about how we were going to spend but he ended up looking like a twat for most of it because wenger was a stubborn tight arse. Luckily they managed to squeeze in Ozil to take the heat off. Wenger is making Gazidis look back and Ivan won't be fond of that.
I wouldn't like it if he went to one of those but he wouldn't be a cun* to me (though I realise that is pretty much just an arbitrary bit of slagging off these days). He's not an Arsenal fan that has fulfilled his dream, he is a serious professional desperate to win and he would be wise to periodically evaluate his own ambitions against that of his current club.
Wenger really has plunged to new depths of idiocy and incompetence this season. Everything about tonight was complacent, half-baked and cock-eyed.
Sad thing is I've come to expect it from us these days. Nothing surprises me any more. Two and a half more years? That is really depressing!
Yeah I agree. I honestly don't know who is officially the captain, BFG or Arteta??? The fact not a single player out there spotted the danger and tried to rally the troops tells you everything you need to know about the make up and personality of the team. Even BFG has admitted he's struggled for motivation this season, I'm sure having no competition for his place has contributed to that.Quote:

Fatigue? Really?Quote:
"For winning the group, you can say that's nearly impossible now," conceded the Frenchman, who was highly critical of his team's defending.
"The first Anderlecht goal was offside but defensively our performance was not good enough to do it.
"At 3-0 we thought the job was done and it was a combination of switching off and fatigue as well.
"In the Champions League you need to be at the mental level or you get punished and certainly we were not."
Asked whether he planned to strengthen his defence in the January transfer window, Wenger said: "Honestly it's not the worry tonight.
"We just came out of two clean sheets and maybe thought we had got the job done at 3-0."
Fatigue. :lol:
Then use other players, instead of your favourites.
how about making shit useless subs?
does that not come into it Wenget?
Wenger just doesn't have a grasp on things anymore and it's scary how many basic fundamentals we lack.
Exactly we can't even get the basics right so what hope is there really,oh well that's the first of this seasons capitulations out of the way.
What fatigue is the senile old duffer referring to?
It's never his fault, eh? Always some vague intangible that has to carry the can.
he should be fired. twice.
Ha fatigueQuote:

What is worrying about l'ouisseau is that he doesn't seem to be able to react to what is going on on the pitch his team sheet and substitutions are decided well in advance.
Even if you accept the fatigue twoddle why is it that this sort of thing only seems to affect Arsenal?
The thing is, when had a proper captain he would make sure the team responds to setbacks.Quote:

Right now the slightest setback and we're all over the shop.
Our defence was 'not the worry' after conceding 3 goals in 30 minutes? Really? :lol:Quote:

Oh well, we got two (fortunate) clean sheets against Sunderland and Burnley. The treble is on! :trophy: :partytime:
Wenger always sees the world differently to everyone else. All those goals are due to defensive cock ups. Monreal gave away a stupid pen and Merts seems to think that jumping for headers is superfluous when you're as tall as he is. So no new defenders at Xmas. We just need to work harder with what we've got. Spending isn't always the solution. You know. SHEESH! My head hurts.
Wenger didn't even get up and shout instructions at his team, he just sat there under his blanket.
Judging by his choices, that can only be a good thing.Quote:

In all seriousness, what good is there in signing new players? You need a plan first.Quote:

He should have told them to stop conceding goals.Quote:

At 3-1 yesterday someone should have been there pushing us forward instead of backwards. These fundamental mistakes that keep happening every season are the reasons why Wenger should not have got a new contract.Quote:
