We need an additional RB anyway, sucks for him though!
One of our strongest players is now another Diaby.Quote:
Daily Mirror's John Cross on Twitter: "Sagna broken fibula, misses Euros. Same leg as at Tottenham. He was kicked on the leg and played on with it."
At least most of our players will have a long rest.
There's a difference between Anti-Arsenal postings and complaining about the way the club is being run by the twats in the boardroom and by Wenger in the dressing-room. I have not once criticised the club Arsenal, I have been voicing concerns about the direction the club is being taken by people who don't seem to have the clubs' best interests at heart, and seem to care only about the financial bottom line (this includes Wenger). This is what I'm complaining about.Quote:

No, I don't give a shit about Blackburn fans. What they do have to do with anything? Your track record is posted here for all to see.Quote:

He should have just said Song is a cock and I'm going to kick him in the bollocks.Quote:

I guess for us though it's not the worst blow given he has the summer to recover.
Coquelin did a very decent job when he came on as well. Mr Utility.Quote:

Wonder if WUMger will ever play him during a good run or before Song, who has been a bit shit aside from the glorious chips to feed RVP.
Give him the DM role next season. Coquelin is more energetic and better suit than Song IMO. :coffee:Quote:

Song frustrates the living hell out of me. Every time he has to try and hold off players with his strength and then push through, he needs to reign in this more flamboyant side that has emerged with him recently. He's a DM, our only real defending midfielder. He leaves us in horrible defensive situations on a number of occasions, and today we saw that. Even for their first goal he should have done better, didn't jump with that Norwich attacker who headed it on, and then failed to track back immediately, which was a big reason why whoever it was got that pass to Holt in space. Still super unlucky that went in though.Quote:

Something is so wrong with Song, he really cant concentrate (or maybe he just doesnt have the engine to play 90 minutes in midfield). You cant build your midfield around Song, he just cant focus 100% on the game. :coffee:Quote:

Maybe because he was already on yellow didnt want to risk a second one. Nothing wrong from the CBs today, midfield is however a big problem now. :coffee:Quote:

For next season, Wenger has to buy or promote someone to take over the defensive role in midfield. Right now Song is best as 2nd CM, let him compete with Wilshere and Diaby (if they ever fit). :coffee:Quote:

Song needs someone sane next to him. It's not a balanced midfield otherwise. He and the centre-backs are clearly employed in a big way for their ability going forward. It's fine, but the midfield will just tend to empty and get easily bypassed without a sane head in there. We can't say we haven't seen the upside of it - look at Song's passes to Van Persie and Vermaelen's record of scoring important goals. But a common theme of most of our defeats at the Emirates is how the midfield all become sucked in to the same areas, notably against Man Utd on the counterattack a couple of seasons back. Today was just far too easy. The centre-backs were left in lots of one-on-one situations and actually did well to limit the number of shots on goal. The system demands a lot from them.
Wouldn't be surprised if Ox is our DM next season. Think of the craziest fucked up possibilities and then add a special surprise factor.
glad you people are finally listening.Quote:

All this scrambling for CL football is a nonsense anyway. It disguises the fact that we are not competitive in the PL and haven't been for years. Tbh a year out of the CL and rid of Wenger would be a result now.
The bottle is on!! :bow:Shoking really. Got ourselves back into it, then panicked. Ah well. Always next season.
bloody hell!! That's a joke! Haha! :lol:Quote:

Our midfiled loses possession and are never in a mad dash to recover, Song, Ramsey, etc will jog back at half the speed of the attackers. This is us, this is how we were when Denilson was bestriding our midfield like a colossus. Nothing has changed bacause the manager has not changed. Our defenders are never serene or determined when under pressure, we all panic en masse. balls are heraded up into the air or passes made straight to the attackers. Our players are goal shy, in the box we miss open goals and easy chances. this is us , it has always been us, at least for the last 8 years. Ride on Monsieur Wenger, in you we always trust.

We didn't go any further in the C.L this year and went out to a considerably worst side.
We went out of the FA Cup earlier this season.
We went out of the League Cup earlier this season.
In all seriousness, on what level is this an improvement?
Pretty muchQuote:
