Best Arsenal highlight was seeing George Graham in the crowd.
It's a shame to see punditry like that ousted by the dour sourpuss that is Souness.

That display against Reading was fine because we won. The performance is irrelevant. Limply slinking out of the title challenge having been slaughtered on points is not worth considering. If we win the FA Cup we can wave it at the chavs and they'll be real jealous. Really they will. The FA Cup is everything, but some realists refuse to accept the fact.Quote:

Are they trying to convince themselves it doesn't come down to having eight behind the ball?
predictable match, predictable result. wenger hasnt sussed out maureen yet, he still plays the same tippy tappy slow as my nan shit and expects different results.
3rd behind city on GD but we have a game in hand so not bad.
2nd and the Cup would be decent.
On the plus side, as long as we win the next 2 against Hull and Swansea, then we won't need to win at Old Trafford to keep the 2nd place trophy in our hands.

Wenger admits we "produced the performance that was expected."
He needs to be sacked. Didn't think I would ever say that but he won't go otherwise.
Boring game but 2nd half was different from the first. For once, Chelsea held the ball a bit better and had a run of possession. That was our chance to try and hit them on the counter.
No idea why Giroud came off for Walcott. Poor decision and I'm really not a fan of Welbeck. That one chance he had in the box where he just misses the ball sums him up.
Expected us to lose or draw so no surprises. Glad we didn't go full pelt and lose against Chelsea because they're best moments came when they countered.
Typical Wenger performance - slow, predictable, boring. Fucking make Courtois make a save. Pass faster, take a long shot, try something different, do anything. You can't finish the game with one shot on target.
I know Chelsea parked the bus but it never felt like we were going to score. Wenger has no answer tactically.
Games like this should make the few who havent yet sussed it that we willnever win big things under Wenger. He simply cant find a way to win these games. It wouldnt have mattered in the overall realm of things because next season Chelsea wont be any different. We wont be any different. We will be lamenting the same shit again next year no doubt. Well played the lads though, handicapped by the manager. Unfortunately they will be handicapped again next August.
