We well and truly got Didsed.
It's getting a bit tiresome watching most of our players try to do everything by running at a 100mph straight in to a brick wall.
Bring back the footballers WUMger.

defence was a shambles for second goal. but then again it wasnt our first choice defence but they need to improve.
im not even going to count the frist goal. it was such an attricious dive
Most of our players are show ponies. They've been drilled in every aspect of ineffective football. Gala bring on two genuine top quality players and they win it. Our freebie signing wasn't awful but he will have precisely zero impact on the outcome of the season. Just like the statue Giroud.
Cheapskate policies have been shown up for almost a decade and they'll be shown up again this season.
Result doesn't particularly matter but today just reinforced that we desperately need signings to be competitive next season. Defensively we need another centre half, especially if Wenger doesn't trust Miguel in that position. Might do some good to get a left back as well, especially if Monreal is out for a while. The way Miguel got done by Drogba down the flank was worrying. That's without mentioning the need for a central midfielder, a wide attacking player to replace Gervinho and obviously a striker.
We have sanogo who can also play in all those positions.Quote:

Not going to lie, I feel slightly happy that we lost today . Rather it happen now, then before the season starts and the transfer window shuts.
The GHELball should be good for a few extra points in the PL, at least..
Sanogo looked decent. Ramsey has been good in pre-season.
Ox and Theo really poor.
Dids :bow:. Sign him up.
And yes, sign some other fucking players as well.
James reckons Ox was 2 mins away from being MOTM.
Fact check. Ox was shite today.
Don't worry we're in with a good shout of the title even without signings :lol:
Haven't seen any of this shite.
Dids. :bow:
Arsenal. :lol:
Sign some fucking players.
Drogba has been tormenting Wenger for years (just like Mourinho), doesn't matter who he puts out Drogba gets the better of them. But then Wenger really doesn't know an awful lot about defending if we're honest.
Still just shows what having quality players can do, they win you matches even when the odds are against you.
These results are a good thing though, Wenger was getting a bit cocky after beating some pub teams in Asia by a few goals.
Senderos used to get fucked by Drogba.
Merts aswell :lol:
Should sign him tbf
Yep all it highlights is that we're seriously short in terms of both squad numbers and quality. I'd say we need at least 5 players (a centre half, a defensive central midfielder, an attacking wide midfielder, a striker and a left back). If Wenger doesn't do what's required it's going to be another disappointing season.Quote:

second goal was very good, but the defence at that time was jenkinson, sagna, merts and miquel. not first team by anymeans. yes they should have done better with his second goal. and saying that he does when it the odds are against him. it was the emirates cup ffs.
in the first half we were teh better team, theo missed an absoulte sitter after a beautiful pass by ramsey. if he scored that, and we got the stonewall penalty on ox, then drogba wouldnt have done anything. there are things we need to improve, i wouldnt say we need a new lB. both gibbs and monreal are fine. arteta and ramsey work well together like they did at end of last season. we need another CB for cover, a world class striker, and a cesc fabregas type in the middle.
Just got back.
Great day, entertaining match, great goals, really pleased and then the arsenal match started and it was all downhill from there.
If Wenger or anyone else thinks this squad is good enough for the title, they are the biggest idiot on gods green earth. We can't even win our own cup.
Was my first and hopefully last look at Sanogo. Very poor. Arteta, oh dear. Theo scored a great curler but poor otherwise. Ox faded badly after a bright start. Cazorla showing why he's a Spanish z lister.
Jenkinsom and Sagna I thought did well but the fact Wenger would rather play Sagna at CB than go out and buy one says it all.
I've never left a match early. I am extremely proud to say today was the first time ever that I did. Might do it more.
A terrible summer and its hot over yet. With a mauling v Man City to come, this club is has hit rock bottom and the people's elbow is about to be dropped
Also, Galatasaray can bring on Drogba and Sneijder. We bring on Chuck somebody and Zimzalabim.
Slightly worrying
What did wenger say after the match? Can't seem to find a transcript of the interview
I love how theo gets slated after every game. Imagine if he actually never scored or provided any assists ever. :lol:
If if if, the thing is when you have quality if isn't so much a factor, it's more relevant when you're players aren't good enough.Quote:

If we'd have RVP we would have won, there's another if.
??? Ox is getting the heat today. He was poor. Goes without saying Walcott was shit too. The poor bastard just sprints headlong into defenders for some fucked up reason. Worry is Ox is starting to do it.Quote:

Just got back from the game.
1st half wasn't too bad, Sanogo looked ok didn't do much bar a couple of good tackles and an early chance. He's a tall lad though!
2nd half we were ok until wenget started making changes. Totally fucked things up.
Galatassary brim on drogba and snjeider, we bring on zelalem and akpom.
Project youth all over again, fucking shite.
Hopefully your kid had a good day out and you told him stories about how it never used to be like this.Quote:

I saw some people leaving when the second goal went in, moreso than you usually see/hear about
not even theo would claim he meant that goal. it was a cross that got luckyQuote:
