I've had my fill of these nobodies from the French league for a lifetime.

Bye bye Wenger :wave:

:haha:

there we have it. complete mockery of FFP begins. no doubt chelsea bumped up the merchandise sales/revenues to cover their arses, there's no way they could have made a profit as they invested every penny on an ageing squad and fire hazard's wages.

the one thing wenger and the board counted on to save their arses and its already fallen apart :haha:

au revoir wankger.

The guy was MotM today, Anybody who expected him to come in and Score 30 odd goals thias season, was deluded.

He was going to take time to settle in. He got 2 goals today it can only help his confidence.

To call him a bottler is stupid.

Pretty much, the guy is a clown to be honest without a clue about the realities of football, the board well year they're only interested in how much money they can stuff into their pockets.

I think this is where we differ. You are still trying to suggest ways to reconfigure this club in a way that could produce a result. I'm saying - fuck them, I couldn't give a shit about that any more. That was how I felt and the start of the season and then I got sucked into all the BS again. But my initial instincts were dead right. There's nothing to fix here because it's thoroughly fucking broken and being run from top to bottom by people who want to fuck it up even more.

So I'm just going through the motions pining for a freak occurrence to puncture the monotony. Us fucking up. Been there, boring. New striker stepping up, proving the critics wrong, giving the crowd something to shout about. Like you say, killed stone dead before the idea can even take shape. Not Giroud's fault, not Arteta's fault. Not even Wenger's fault to be honest. He thinks he's doing the right thing and nobody who counts is willing to call him out for this turd of a product being served up. Not even the board's fault because they go about their merry way thinking by enriching themselves they are also benefiting the club. These fucking lunatics all think they are doing us a massive favour. Total fucking looney bin.

i don't think our defensive issues will be resolved and i don't think our attack will be as potent as years past - i realised that in the run in last season and came to the conclusion top four is over. even if we had a semi competent defence it would still be undermined by the managers lunatic ideas on the pitch.

i can't and won't walk away from every single game completely and utterly broken by it because i want to find a reason to come back again and watch the game, because i'm a supporter, i love the club. so this time, i'm happy with giroud scoring two, agreed it would've been nice for him to get a third but it would've been more enjoyable to see some sort of defending.

will it change? probably not for quite a while, hence why i think we'll finish in the lowest position under wenger this season but fuck me, there is still some positives to be had somewhere otherwise there is no point for me even watching our games anymore. it's painful mostly at the moment but you go through that with things you are committed to. let's get rid of wenger and the board, that would be great as it would mean a change and perhaps a new direction. but i can't 'give up'. i've been in and given too much of my life to arsenal to throw my hands up and wait for the corpse to decompose.

we can shout for what we want, balls out with passion but let's be realistic about the situation. wenger and the board are most likely here to stay for quite a while. that could leave us midtable like the mid-90's, although far more damaging because of the exclusive top four club being shut off with the ffp. but i'll be there, fuck it. and the only thing that will keep me coming back is finding something to enjoy, otherwise there is no point at all.

I doubt it will help that much, he's scored the odd goal this season and never really kicked on or looked any better.

Today he scores two and should be full of confidence and yet passes up a hattrick chance, not a good sign IMO.

The Chelsea profit thing is a misnomer because they got an extra 45m just from winning the CL and still only made a profit of 1.5m. But back to the issue athand This club, this team. How low can you get?

We've sold off all our best players and this is where our level is now. Fuck knows how much worse it will get when we continue to sell the best of what is left.

Not sure he passed it up and i doubt him not taking the pen, is going to stop him from scoring again.

ANd i don't buy that because he is on a hatrick he should take it. Happens all the time players on hatricks but someone else taking them.

We are football supporters. There's precious little football going on at this club right now. Nothing to actually support. The club has been hijacked by money grabbing ****s, the players don't seem to give a shit, the manager spouts shit about winning the big prize, 4th place. What are we actually supporting? The essence of Arsenal? The memory of it? This isn't about taking the good times with the bad, this is about a club that claims the bad times are a trophy. I sat through the Terry Neill years, Don Howe, George Graham. Often very tough going but never as utterly futile as what we are enduring now. There was still a club back then, but I don't see that now. I see a corporation feeding off those memories in order to keep the audience captive. And you feel a bit of a **** to be so easily manipulated. makes you want to switch off if only to maintain a little dignity.

Just read the match thread and flicked through the pages on this thread

Shocking pessimism on here.

My thoughts on the day.

Great time, thoroughly enjoyed it, decent weather as well, fine looking lass not that far from me as well. It was indeed turning out to be an excellent day........then the match started

Fulham were excellent. Would have been harsh to lose that game to a non penalty that Dowd gave us. Ref had a decent game. Cant blame him for this. In a way and no doubt i'll have the clueless on my back for this but missing the penalty is for the greater good. If we had scored it and won the game, the papering over the cracks by Wenger and his sympathizers on here would have been immense. Now they dont have a leg to stand on.

As mentioned, Fulham were awlsome and i consider it a good point as we were up against a far superior team managed by a far superior manager. Yes its a shame and frustrating that we let go of a 2 goal lead but i would have taken a point at the start of the game so no complaints.

Mannone - Cant blame him any of the goals from what i saw

Defensively we were not so good. Mert is awesome but the other 3 and especially Kos, were bad. Plenty of Arsenal fans suffered heart attacks when the ball is near him.

Arteta for me was MOTM. He was excellent in the way he regularly created space and opportunities for Fulham. Think he made one mistake today when he was trying to play it out of defence and the ball ended up with Podolski who scored but other than that, he was brilliant for Fulham. Cheeky bid in january? Won a penalty for Fulham and made sure it stayed 3-3 at the end by psyching out the Arsenal taker

Cazorla - I hate being right :(

Coq looked very good so taking him off was exactly the right thing to do by Wenger. We cannot have players having good games.

Podolski scored. :bow: Always been a fan. Hes back. Anticipated Arteta trying to pass it out and intercepted the pass and scored.

Giroud, i have to thank him. He answered a very important question for me. After Theos 2 goals v Spuds last season, i questioned how posters can still critisise someone who has scored 2 goals in a match. Now i know. Arguably the worst striker in the business when the ball is at his feet but pretty awesome in the air although he did miss a sitter of a header at the end. And he bottled taking the penalty but unless he can take it with his head, i wouldnt have backed him to score. Case in point, his 2nd goal. One on one sitter missed, Theo as usual backs him up, chips it in and he scores the header

Theo - He is awesome. Truly loved by all true gooners. Our best player by a mile. Name sung by everyone and was having a great game and thus taken off to keep him fit for his sale in January.

Ramsey - Not good enough. End of the road for him

Arshavin - Has to start surely. He has been excellent in his cameos this season

Ox - Honeymoon period is dead. He needs to perform. One good performance in January v Mancs doesnt wash anymore. Hes been a flop

More on Theo

I like how he knows Giroud is going to fuck up and thus backs him up as a good team mate should. Done it in Germany and today.

Proper team player. Whoever gets him will have a gem of a player.

The most impressive aspect of Theo's selflessness is when he runs into players so his adoring true gooners fans have enough time to take pictures of him.

And also the bit where he moves to Liverpool so the loyal fans can just draw a bird over the Arsenal crest on Theo posters adorning their walls.
