Match Reaction vs Swansea

On a positive note, this was a big step forward from the Anderlecht result.

at the very least certainly our best performance since the october break.

That was a shower of shite from the get go and you label it as 'one of our better performances this season'. What the fuck were you watching you clown?

And we're not trying to be Barcelona. We're not trying to be anything. There's no shape, no ideas, no cohesion, nothing. Potentially excellent players are being wasted and non-performing ones are being rewarded. It's a complete mess. Wengerball is now a bigger myth than Van Gaal's supposed genius.

Just the other day Shaun Custis said all Wenger teams play great football. So you are wrong.

Pundits still come out with the same old shit "Arsenal are a good passing and attacking side" This is simply not true!

They do it like this: "Arsenal are great to watch and we all know that but the worry you have about them is defensively...".

Not heard one pundit talk about how rotten we are as an attacking unit now, when talking about our deficiencies. Although I guess it shows how rubbish the defence is when everything else gets overlooked.

Anyone shocked by the result? Was busy watching F1 and flipped over after the race to hear we conceded.Than had the joy of seeing the 2nd goal. I really don't care for this team anymore. I just want to wake up one morning to hear Wenger has been sacked or resigned.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, speaking to Sky Sports:
"It is difficult to explain how we lost the lead. We were in control but they did not give up and we lost some decisive challenges in the middle of the park and we paid for that. That is where we lost the battle.

"We were not in too much trouble, we had the best chances, it is a place that is always tight and it was a very tactical game.

"I worry that we concede the goals, yes. At the moment we have different worries than that [the gap between Arsenal and Chelsea]. We just lost a game that we feel we should not have lost. You have to win the games you can win and today was one. If you want to challenge for the Premier League you have to be a bit more realistic."

And a bit more:

"We eased off at 1-0 and let them back into the game."

:haha:

You mean apart from your mother being gang banged by black midgets wearing arsene wenger masks in a shoddily made porn film?....(the title of which is called Arsene Knows....that your Mum is a vapid whore)

I'd say our performance was a lot better than a lot of our performances this season in terms of passing and movement, no point talking about our defensive performance because we don't have a defence per se.

Not one of your more realistic ones tbf. A bit half-hearted and exaggerated in places to the point where it became ridiculous. Also, haven't you done this one before - like a thousand time before?

That's because you are a pessimistic realist who constantly gets sidetracked by facts.

"We eased off at 1-0 and let them back into the game."

---

We eased off at 1-0...

We eased off at 2-0...

We eased off at 3-0...

We eased off at 4-0...

Note to self: Tell team not to ease off.

You know I am beginning to think it wasn't all Mesut's fault.

there is literally no point debating anything unless you can make ad hominem remarks about someone's mother

Of course his mother could be dead, in which case i've almost certainly watched a snuff film :faint:

We eased off at 1-0. :haha:

Why??? After what happened in the previous game that is scandalous.

Any match savvy he once had, is now completely gone. Cardboard cutout of a manager.

Well yes, I must tell you I have done a thousand interviews.

We have people with opinions and they have not even done ten.

Opinions are not a quality. To perform on the pitch and do the talking there is a quality.

Have we done our talking today?

I will not speak about this.

In other words, you're talking a load of shite to continue your constant wave of shit talking.

French TV don't want to know anymore so he has to get the matter-of-fact parts of the game out somewhere.

Maybe when he is over it he can get back to managing.

I believe you have a small grammar niggle.

When will you be back? 2-3 weeks. After the international break. But of course also maybe Easter.

My book?

One day I will tell you the release date of it in my book.

Again i am going to reiterate, comparatively compared to the other massive shit fests we've served up this season (Crystal Palace, 80 minutes of the Everton game, Leicester Spurs, Hull, Sunderland) the performance wasn't bad. It wasn't good either, but at least there wasn't endless ad nauseum sequences of pass, pass, pass in their final third...we looked to get in behind them etc.
The irony is that the worst thing we did was take the lead.

Not that I saw it, but I'd have figured the worst thing was falling behind.
