How many DMs have we been linked with.....we even bid for Bender last year why are we not back for him....,.god this club winds me up
Fuck off McClaren you blind prick.
Didn't watch it, thank fuck.
Think I'll do what I did last year and just switch off and blank it out.
I'm in a pub, got beer and have just had an awesome day mucking about with the nipper. Who needs this money beats all shitfest.
Gabriel has played well in two straight games. Two clean sheets. Dropped in the next game?
Monreal, Coquelin and Bellerin have probably been our most consistent players this year. Everyone else blows lukewarm and freezing too often.
No point commenting on Wenger, because he's not going to change and he's not going to be replaced.
Hello, my name is LDG and I'm an Arsenalholic. It has been 365 days since my last shitfest (round of applause)Quote:

Dude, we didn't play well. Couldn't pass, couldn't control the tempo unless it was sloooooow, were up against 10 and hardly made a decent chance and when we did the guy on the end of it was dire. Unless we turn it all around in the coming weeks (chavs, spuds, leicester) we're out of it again - already.Quote:

Bring back the counter attack.
Otherwise, Wenger out.
That is all.

At least 3/4 need to be shipped out of that starting eleven to see real improvement.Quote:

Regardless, should I carry on watching the inevitable gypo win or should I make spaghetti with fuck all on it. There's custard. Does that work?Quote:

Thing about Walcott is you always sense he needs a few games to get into the swing of things, so when Wenger benches him, then randomly starts him, you're never really going to see the best of him straight away. I think RvP used to need several games to get into it a bit.
Cech had a cigar on and I'm happy for that to be commonplace. Our full backs are superb though I felt in games like this they should overlap the wide forwards even more.
Ironically? We can't play without him.
Defence wasn't tested today. When we have been we've looked poor right across the back. When Bellerin and Monreal are in the comfort zone and can press up the field then they look good. When they are under pressure, not so good. Monreal a lot better than Bellerin defensively. I think the irony lies in the fact Monreal is slowly becoming our best defender. Bellerin has a long way to go and I think he's a midfielder rather than a defender. Bit like Gibbs.
Do you mean 'are' as in 'are right now'? Or do you mean 'will be'? If you mean 'right now' then we are if Chelsea are.Quote:

So far it's been a mixed bag, results wise, but City aside no-one is sweeping all before them - and you know what City are like, they can get a bad result, start to sulk and go into freefall for a bit. Last season we lost it in the first 12 games, we cannot do that this year but right now after 4 games despite some ropey performances we're not out of it. Nor is anyone really after 4 games but realistically you cannot win 4 of your first 12 games, as we did last year, and expect to win the title. P4 W2 D1 L1 is neither stellar nor a disaster.
The lack of goals is the biggest worry. We've clearly been trying to address it but haven't been able to recruit our targets. There's time left, but it's a worry because I don't think we'll find internal solution.Quote:

Same applies when predicting what we'll do. We know. We can delude ourselves if we want but it won't change a thing.Quote:

Close that shit debate already. No need to pretend like its a suspense as to whats going to happen.
It's the same rationale every season. "No one has started well except for so and so". Well 1 team is all it takes to start well and before we know it we're out of it. These average, bare minimum performances are all too familiar for us and should have everyone's alarm bells ringing.Quote:

Red card was stonewall, they can have no complaints. Referee got one decision wrong all day and that was denying us a stonewall penalty. In the last two games, we have had to game changing decisions go against us. Ramsey offside and that penalty.
Coqualien did superbly today. Was the victim of several late and dangerous tackles and he didn't react. The newcastle crowd were putting pressure on the referee every decision and he didn't give the ref an excuse to book him or worse. Strong and disciplined.
The back four were superb. Solid, calm and dealt with everything
Does that mean we have a chance?Quote:

Theo was shit but a team with 10 men for 70 minutes are going to knackered & we take our fastest striker off. He has no tactical nous whatsoever. How about a change at half time for once. We knew they had to defend, by all means bring Giroud to maybe take his 1 chance in 10 but get Theo & Ox up alongside him. Take off 1 of the CM's, the 2nd half was never going to be a midfield battle. I want a manager that wants to beat 10 men by 4 goals, not to pub it & think all is good.
If Coquelin was a 6ft 4ins, square-jawed, square-shouldered brick shithouse and didn't play for foreign pussies Arsenal, every moron pundit would be falling over themselves to praise him and we'd be seeing United, City and Chelsea linked with a £40m move for him.
It's all about big names and reputations built on a few weeks of decent form, married to the myopic gushing from aforementioned moronic, small-minded pundits, rather than watching games and judging a player on what they actually do. His attempts to outdo Song in 2011/12 won't get him anywhere, but the rest of his game has been more than reliable.
The performances have been worrying, the results have been ok. Not spectacular, it doesn't shout title contenders at you but Chelsea's don't either. Last season we were out of if 12 games in, it's only 4 games in now and we're certainly not yet. Some of the 'patterns' from the last 10 seasons (to answer NQ's point) have been broken in the last couple of years. I'm thinking our problem in 'big games', the trophy drought, the lack of big signings (although this summer has been disappointing).Quote:
