Must win.
The Cherries are a good side at home, have a better home record than us this season.
if the players turn up and ignore Wenger's orders, 1-3.
If they dont turn up and put in one of those shite performance, 2-1. Afobe with both goals.

With City playing Leicester, this simply has to be 3 points. If not, then it is a confirmation that we have thrown in the towel.
1-3.
Easy win.
If Wenger is kidnapped before the game and held until the final whistle, comfortable win.
If the kidnap attempt goes wrong or he escapes, we're fucked.
If we don't win this Wenger should be replaced immediately.
Honestly.
Think we'll win this but we'll most likely make hard work of it!

2 must win games now to get the back down to 2...
Let's play Flamini and Ramsey in the middle and see what happens.
----------------Cech----------------
Bell------KOS------GAB-----NACHO
--------COQ---------RAMBO---------
CAMP----------OZIL-------SANCHEZ
----------WALLY WOBOT-------------
Assuming Wally Wobrain is a wind up, the rest of that looks about right. Which is why L'Imbecile will probably play Flamini and Ramsey in the middle and Merts at the back. Could see Campbell dropped so he can accommodate Theo "3 pass attempts, waster" Walnut out wide.Quote:

What would the cut-off point be waiting for Theo to deliver? He's had 10 years. Give him another year? 2, 3, 5? He needs 50 chances to get a goal.Quote:

It's amazing how a player like Walnut can take the piss to such a huge degree but still get a pass. This should have been his year, he had everything laid out on a plate for him but he's done fuck all. A lazy bastard and a loser.Quote:

Same age, were at the club around the same time, one was loaned out and has made his way back to the PL by scoring and the other is still contacted to us for no fuxking reason.
I know we have been here before and blew it when we had the chance to make it ground but a win tomorrow and another one against Leicester next week means we are only two points behind. A loss tomorrow means we remain 8 behind and then next week becomes even bigger.
Come on wenger don't let us down again.
14 games to go. Plenty of time for Wenger to take you into another bought of belief and then pull the rug just as you have fully committed. He might even get 2 WUMs in during that period.Quote:

Yes, but we saved a lot of money in the transfer windows so it's not all comical.Quote:

I am not in the band of people who thought we should fancifully show him the door a few years ago as Chamberlain had it all to surpass him and suffice to say, The Ox has done little to dissuade me since.
I thought his movement was pretty good in the last game and if we're making omissions based on missing chances in the last game, we'd be playing the academy for this one. He is more than capable of scoring against any opponent this league has and even going on a run. His fluffed lines recently have almost entirely been down to confidence.
The one and only time you've been impressed with Theo was when he was playing as a striker. He really isn't a winger and playing on the left hasn't helped him either.Quote:

It's difficult for anyone to break him in on goal so he can have a shot. We're having to loop in balls and crosses so he gets an opportunity. We can't play like that and need to try something different.
Wenger was in the press saying he won't sign a striker or that it's not his priority. I hope that's just hot air. As for Theo, I think he needs to go away and work on his fitness. Just as people were starting to see the difference he makes to our style of play as a striker he gets injured.Quote:

He missed his chance on goal last week but that isn't what annoys me. It's the lack of productivity after that. He's not looking for the ball enough. Played in a couple of good crosses but that was it. He's stopped driving at players and is total focussed on off the ball runs. Even as a striker, he needs to learn when to come deep to help link up play and when to go long.
Must. Win. Game.
0-2
I have this nasty feeling that if we sold Theo some other manager could get something out of him. Same with Ox. It would be so depressing to see them realising their potential elsewhere. I think that's the fear of a lot of Arsenal fans and it's why I didn't want him to go the last time it was being speculated. But this season both have been so poor. Like they have taken a giant step backwards. It's shocking really. Our reserve team got relegated, apparently. I didn't know that. Nothing seems to be coming through the ranks. We can't get the players we claim to have made onto the pitch because they are forever injured. Something is seriously wrong at this club and Theo and Ox are symptoms.Quote:

The only reason Theo is not injured right now is because he's decide not to participate when he's on the pitch.Quote:

You often complain about the slow pace and tippy tappy we play. You must see how Giroud style plays a part in that? He has to come out for this game looking explosive. More goals like that 2nd goal against Liverpool if he insists on playing with his back to goal. Take the initiative.Quote:

Flamini and Ramsey again. WHY?!!!
No-one is getting more out of Feo than we have seen so far. More injuries perhaps but that's about it. If his shoulder isn't popping out, then he's going missing on the pitch. A little bit joke of a player. I've said all along he'll pop up with some goals and assists - as he has done on the right for most of his career here - but never expect anything consistent from him. If he was sold he would be easily replaced and easily forgotten.Quote:

If you are going to make it into the first team of any big Premiership team, the overall performance of your team mates won't impact on that.
I think more importance is placed on the U-21's CL which replicates the draws of the main competition (where it can) and we finished top of our group. Bayern are bottom with 4 points and didn't even qualify. Chelsea won last years version and we all know how many players have come through the ranks there.
Wumger hitting full stride :lol:Quote:

Coq I would rather see eased back in, seeing as he came back ahead of schedule and we often criticise Wenger for rushing players back only to see them break down. He plays in the heartbeat of a football game, I'd rather we have him for the last dozen games in full action, than a couple before going out injured again. Flamsey should be enough for this one.
Campbell has been ineffective for a few weeks now, so a change there won't hurt. And Elneny's wife just had their baby, so pretty normal for him to be away.
My mate said Elneny was injured, is that true????
edit: no, not even mentioned on Arsenal injury list.
wenger is a cunt.
