That's true. A family member in Germany told me Xhaka was very good when we signed him. He's literally turned to sh*t. If he was at Chelsea or Utd he'd be a completely different player.

How old are you?
Serious question.
I think you're older than me and you still get this wound up about football?
Especially in a game when we all knew the result ahead of time.
You need to have a word with yourself fella.

What's the point in watching a murder mystery without the mystery?
This is increasingly feeling the same. And it's rarely enjoyable watching us play.
And that's without the way football as a sport has gone.

Others have expressed similar levels of ennui, why have a go at me?

Because you're the one that constantly pops up backing Wenger, providing a positive spin or providing devils advocate scenarios. Or maybe the fact you antagonise and WUM :shrug:

Letters. PLEASE.

We are still fans, regardless of it all.

We can say we don't care until we are blue in the face. But we do, for better, for worse or even with Wenger as a manager.

I can just about live with us being shit, which we are.

But I can assure you, we aren't the only shit in this league, as we just saw. And when corrupt cunts intervene to sort the shit from the shit, well that's treads on areas way beyond football. And if we won't fight or even get energised in those areas then we are dead.

I'm not dead, I'm alive.

How about you?

I'm not Dissappointed at all today. Wenger not starting Lacazette was a big mistake, opportunities were there for the taking in the 1st half.

It's Wenger. What do you expect?

He's failed to start Lacazette in our 2 biggest away games. Anfield and City. He bought a £50m striker and benched him for the 2 biggest games. Madness.

Because you're the one bragging about not watching the game on here.

He was one of the most sought after young midfielders in the Bundesliga when we signed him - Man Utd were linked the season before. And now look at him.

I know it seems that you've given up Letters old but what's wrong with NQ displaying some passion and emotion about how bad things are? :lol::lol:

Football is a passionate sport!

I just want to drift back in time and go on up to Highbury and watch Liam Brady. That would suit me just fine.

I didn't watch the game. Chose to watch Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith instead. Good movie. A tale of the downfall of good man because of arrogance and selfishness. How a democracy turned to a dictatorship. Quite fitting to our circumstances when thinking about it.
