Same shit different season.

Great game, loved it.
Onto Stoke we go.
This feels like a loss.

Fucking fuck :ilt:
Still top, so fuck it.
A right kick in the guts.
Only way I'm letting this go is if we beat Stoke.
Cunts.
Oh yeah, they're next and we're away :ilt:Quote:

With our next matches/run in, we needed clear water - but for the second or third time this season we failed to do what was needed tonight and yet again it feels like an opportunity missed.
I'm pretty ok with this result to be honest, we went behind twice and didn't lose. In the end we looked tired....and with all these sodding injuries we don't have the players that can keep hold of the ball under pressure.
Always disappointing to not win when you've led but to be honest I'd have taken a point at the start of the game (I don't care about injuries and form Anfield is never an easy place to go). City couldn't beat Everton, Leicester still haven't fallen away but have taken Spurs out of the equation for us.
The next game is a big un.
Seen it all before. Wenger thinks hes a tactical genius, taking Ozil off means he really is blind. Without Ozil or Sanchez, we are not the same team, can keep possesion, cant hold on to a lead. What is the point of bringing Arteta on anyway. He only makes the pressure worse
Hmmm we are in reality no much worse off than we were at the start of tonightQuote:

How many times have we conceded late goals at Anfield now? Must be 4 or 5 at least. Fuck sake.
The seeds of the collapse are in place.Quote:

Great games from Campbell and Giroud. On to the next.
We should really putting that liverpool team to the sword. They had so many injuries.
Ridiculous.
Yep we have learnt absolutely nothing. Came out half paced and could have been three down in the first twenty mins. Clawed our way back into the game and took the lead, then reverted to the same no pressing, low tempo style. Sat back, waited for wenger to do his usual bonkers substitutions, and duly submitted. Always the same drill at anfield.
That assumes that we will perform the same in the second half of the season as we have done in the first - and given our run of away fixtures I'm not so sure we will. I don't think we can keep spurning opportunities and win the league.Quote:

Result today shows why we won't win the title, leading and in control Wenger brings off Campbell and Ozil and goes negative and we draw.
A win today would have made all the difference given the other results, but we blew it, or should I say Wenger blew it. We've seen this before haven't we?
At least twice already this season, in fact...Quote:

Was an excellent game of football, really enjoyed it.Quote:

I wouldn't go as far as to say I enjoyed it, but it was a good game and I agree with what you say.Quote:

Ramsey in spells was good offensively and took his goal well but didn't really offer any defensive protection. I sure hope Elneny hits the ground running because he's our only real hope at the moment.Quote:

Should have made the most of several opportunities to kill the game off. We then invited pressure on ourselves, especially with Ox being so stupidly sloppy.
Not a terrible result as Liverpool save their best performances for the big clubs, but it could become more costly if we don't win at Stoke.
Hopefully, with Rosicky returning and Elneny joining, we'll have a functioning midfield again. It's surprising how long we've held out with just two central midfielders. And one of them being Flamini.
Giroud, Campbell and Monreal were superb. Shame their good work was undone.
Firmino and Allen probably won't score all season now.
:good:Quote:

It's uncanny how it's always against Liverpool that we concede thčse late, heart breaking goals. Owen, Heskey, Skrtel, Mellor, Kuyt, Babel and now Joe f***in Allen.
We underestimate them too much and it's to our peril.
Given the run of fixtures we have left, I'd probably favour Man City over ourselves to win the title. Spurs, Man Utd, Stoke, Everton all left away from home? Nah, can't see it happening tbh.
First signs of the cracks tonight, top and able to consolidate and we blow it, that's the soft centre and inability to deal with big pressure we've seen time and time again.
Spot on! Our midfield and defence is a fucking chairty! Wenger out.Quote:

I think WUMger was right when he said 80 points might be enough for the title this year. Everyone sucks the big one.
wahey!Quote:
