Wenger out.
Obviously.
Taking Theo along with him tooQuote:

Wenger is so fucking incompetent and wasteful I'm actually getting a pain in my chest.Quote:

I did'nt watch it because I thought Burnley would be too good for us.
I saw Chambers goal at half time and still thought we would lose.
I have not seen the Alexis goal yet, but I'm glad we won.
We will have to play every team with what we have now, I cannot see Welbeck or that other idiot Wheelchair making much difference when they come back in May.
Scrappy game. But not unexpected with Alexis and Coq just back, it being Elneny's first game and Oxlade being crap.
Good goals though and Heaton made some good saves. Although Theo's lack of conviction was dreadful.
Another good game from Iwobi. He's fighting his way into contention. Elneny played quite well, although looked a bit nervous at times. Has exceptional shooting technique, I must say.
Chelsea next please so we can see what would happen if an 11 v 11 football match is allowed occur. Or a pub team at home of course.
Let me help you with that, we'd lose like we always do.Quote:

Walcott and Ox look completely bereft of confidence, frankly I'd stick them both in the reserves for the next few weeks but unfortunately our squad is so thin we can't.
Koscielny decided to play like a total passenger today
Only saw the 2nd half (SportsDevil :bow: I love my Amazon TV thingy, I do).
Looked like we were pretty well in control, should have been more convincing but in the Cup a win's a win.
I'll take it.
On we go :scarf:
Is it right that wengers contract is up at the end of this season?
At least, that's what it said on paper talk today :unsure:
Pepto shock everyone and come and save us :pray:
Catch up. He's here until 2019 at least. The board can't get enough of his book keeping skills.Quote:

I am honestly surprised how you can complain about this game. A victory against a very good Burnley when playing the second team with many players coming back from injuries, one new player having his first taste of English football aien't too bad .Walcott and Ox need to work hard to improve their games.You can not blame Wenger for that. Look at Campbell, he was given far less game time than Walcott and Ox. But he grabbed his chance and took advantage of it and made himself an important player in the squad . Young English players have the habit of taking everything for granted instead of working hard to deserve their placesQuote:

Good to hear Iwobi and Elneny looked good. Sanchez on the score sheet is good news as well. Sounds like Giroud was off and saw Theo messing up that one on one at the end. Pray our strikers don't fall off their game now and find some form. Would have started Walcott so he can get his sharpness back. Created a chance with a cut back for Elneny but then fluffs his lines at the end. Poor decision to round the keeper.
CB's look off and sounded as if they were too. Kos needs to up his game. I think people are seeing Merts isn't the only problem. But heyz we're through and with the changes made, I expected a bit of rust.
Perhaps if Theo aimed to slice shots wide...
Kosienly looked like he had an off game. Gabriel wasn't good in the air either from what I read and saw of the highlights. Saw how causal Kos was when dealing with a long ball. Terrible stuff and didn't even bother to sprint back after losing the ball. What's that about?
It's a problem and he needs to put those away. When Giroud is having that sort of game and getting no shots on a goal, we need an alternative. The goals will come if he keeps getting chances. It's when we see no chances on goal from our strikers that worries me more.Quote:

Rosicky injured again :haha:
Just had it confirmed that Rosicky suffered a setback on his return yesterday (Thigh). Could be 6 weeks.

:wave:
I'm just glad I was there yesterday to witness the collectors item that is a Rosicky appearance.
I also saw Claude's interview with AFTV, it's crazy how much of a following that melt has gathered now. People fawning over him and begging for selfies. Mostly kids, mind.
I expect he'll get a new contract in the summer, then we can start planning next season with his return in mind, when he does he'll be like a new signing.Quote:

Arteta, Flamini and Rosicky will all be gone in the summer
HCZ. You're the same chap who predicted that Wenger had signed his last contract the time before.Quote:

Don't disagree when it comes to English players, in the main. But doesn't that just make Wenger's priorities more suspect? Coquelin and Campbell were almost forced on him by the latest in a long line of injury crises including injuries to Walcott, Ox and Arteta. Does the man genuinely have a keen eye? Doesn't seem that way of late.Quote:

As for complaining about the victory, I'm not. I'm pleased we won because it gives us another chance to change the whole approach we're taking to this season - which is the barest of bare minimums doctrine as ever. I'm complaining that we don't see any coherent strategy from this manager in any aspect of our game and we don't see entertaining football any more expect in isolated spasms where the likes of Ozil and Alexis haul the standard up through their own personal talent. But as a team, we really suck. The shit we play is embarrassing.
Wheelchair not back for at least another six weeks ! FFS! Get the gun ready!Quote:

But, unfortunately, that does not exist. What makes football exciting is a victory after a disappointment .Quote:

I'm beyond simply giving us credit for challenging. This squad didn't come cheap and we have individuals who should be good enough to get us over the line.
Well said.Quote:

We should be comfortably clear already but we've conspired to cock it up.
At the start of the season, looking at our squad, Wenger's mistakes in not getting another striker and good back up or more for Coquelin and looking at the 'traditional strengths' of our rivals, putting in a decent challenge was enough.Quote:

Both the players and the manager have a responsibility to make that happen.
I don't think much will change next season either, teams will continue to play on the counter, press hard, win away from home a lot more and generally make life harder for the traditionally big teams. So our chances won't be restricted to this season only but that's no excuse not to capitalise on the chance available now.
And if not, Wenger out? I'm not sure what that even means in real terms outside of showing frustration on the Internet or the pub. Unless there is palpable, continuous anger shown toward the manager from the terraces, then he won't leave until the board says so.
