Just go Arsene
Gonersweb went down for 3 hrs
Arsene, Maccy and Letters out
We were rubbish as usual at OT. Some things never change
Just heard Wenger said us not winning at OT is because of a mental block with the players. What an idiot. Its been 8 years and about 5 squads. The only constant in it all is you old fool!
Rubbish but got a draw when we usually would've lost that game.
Giroud :bow:
We were shocking but funny in the end.
Feck it, bring on Bournemouth. Not arsed about the PSG game really.
Arsenal forward Theo Walcott, speaking to Sky Sports:
"I think we maybe deserved more based on our first half performance but they came at us in the second half and maybe a draw was a fair result.'
Did he watch the same match as us?
We spent 30mill plus on a midfielder and he sits on the bench even though Santi is unavailable. Eventually wenger has to snap out of his embarrassing fear dominated selections. We had an obviously out of form Ramsey on that pitch for 90 mins. We had a hopeless Theo providing nothing for 90 mins. We had our striker in midfield. Our playmaker isolated and surrounded by red. Our defenders all over the place.
Remind me. What exactly is it that Wenger does?
He gets paidQuote:

Why is Ramsey playing? He should not even be in the squad with performances like that. And what happened to Iwobi? Is he dead?
Wow that was one terrible performance, really need to start playing well again or as usual this shit will fall apart again
Another limp effort at Old Trafford to throw on the ever growing pile. We were just pathetic.
Well done to Oxlade and Giroud for getting us out of jail.
Wenger can beat Maureen when it comes to the verbals, but on the pitch the thundercunt has his number for sure. Pretty funny denying him the win today though.
Sort it out Arsenal.
Wasn't much of a suprise really.
Same shit and all that.
Fucking glad for Oli. Top goal. Gets Jenga (pull the wrong one like a retard and it all comes tumbling down) out of jail.
Ooof, 2/10Quote:

What did Henry say?Quote:

The general disorganisation in the team today and the inability to react to events on the pitch has been evident all season. Wenger is relying entirely on individual contributions to keep his ship afloat. There's no team there, at least not when the ringleader Cazorla is missing. and when there's no Santi Wenger shits his pants and shuts up shop, reverting to that awful tip tap safety first mentality. Even against the lower teams. Even at home. He's a manager going through the motions.
You latched on to my dig at Theo.:cheers:Quote:

He really needs to find some consistency because there is an opening on the left wing if he shows he's capable. Good performance from Cech and Kos as well. Sanchez and Theo were ok. The effort was there but still below par for the pair.
It was woeful stuff from everyone else. Jenks just wasn't overlapping so that had a knock on effect to our attacks down the right. A few occasions we'd see a break on down that side and player expecting to see the overlap with Jenks nowhere to be found. Monreal had bad game as well. Caught sleeping for the goal and almost gave away a penalty.
Over on the over flank, Ramsey was woeful. He'd lose the ball with bad touches, poor passing or just run into his opponent for it to go out of play. We really missed Iwobi. Not being able to play down that left side really messed with our game.
Elneny and Coquelin really struggled. Elneny needs to toughen up and muscle players off the ball more. Coq made a shit load of tackles but needs to step up his distribution. Both of them need to put more pressure on our opponents and not give away so much space. They could have snuffed out the were paying attention.
Ozil was pretty shit. I keep saying it, but he's capable of so much more and we've seen it this season. He can do more than just pass and today we could have done with him dropping back to help the build up play. We're going to struggle in the midfield without Santi.
Good subs from Wenger because they go us the point but his record here is pretty shocking. No idea why we played so badly. Mental block? A good majority of these guys have hardly played this sort of fixture.
Don't think you need to be an expert to spot Wenger's issues. Show people the same thing season after season after season and it doesn't take a genius to twig.Quote:

Ramsey has played like an utter spastic since he's come back from injury. If we could trust the Ox not to flounce around the pitch like a fairy he wouldn't be starting.
Walcott has dropped off and lost the determination and drive this season that make up for his lack of reading of the game
Ozil anonymous.
Elneny was a total Nancy
Monreal needs to be euthanised, Jenkinson was only playing because for some odd reason he's not been shipped out
Petr Cech played well for us today
That was it, no one else.
That said the performance today wasn't as awful as it was against our next oponents. Christ that was awful
Agreed, superb effort from Bif on the goal. As for Ox, his inconsistency and randomness was just the ticket in a game where 22 robots had been plodding around for 80 mins. When it's a stalemate then any fool of a manager who isn't just turning up for the point knows you have to introduce something different. Trouble is, Wenger is a fool who was just turning up for the point. A shocking and shameful shit show from this tired old loser, again.Quote:

Generously you could say it was an unorthodox moment of inspiration but this is Wenger we are talking about so that's not even possible. Fortunately there wasn't much time left and Ox did what he usually does when asked to defend, he ran up the other end of the pitch. With good results this time. But of course Wenger should have reacted way, way before but instead he sat on his arse as always. The bloke's a total fraud and he's been exposed here again, for the 300th, 400th time. Roll on his next contract so we can keep watching this over and over and over.
You mean PSG, where we nail the second place finish in the CL group and then draw Barca? Agreed.Quote:

Ozil played great in the first 20 mins, trying to make things happen. He was really very good. Then Maureen made a few changes and Ozil was marked out of it. Mainly because not one fucker gave him any support or outlets, except of on occasion our striker who had to come back into midfield to get involved.
That was amateurville all the way today. How Wenger can walk away from a performance like that without everybody in the game complaining the emperor is buck naked is a mystery that may never be solved. It's as if he has hypnotised the world.
My point is the performance of the team was worse in Paris, we offered more in attack in Paris but we fell to pieces every time they had the ball.
They have something in common, neither today or PSG were hard earned points...they were flukes
I like the way we bounce back against Bournemouth. For me it will indicate the title charge is back on.Quote:

I would have been genuinely surprised had we played well today. That's how little faith I had in us turning up.
Shows how average this United team are, they had us on the ropes for pretty much the whole 2nd half and couldn't really muster up the chances their territorial advantage deserved.
A Fergie team would have smashed us out of the park.
God damn it GW for dying when you did!!!!! Letters OUT! 8 million a year for this crap?
Anyway, I decided to go into Mugabe Media Lockdown (only checked the score once the match had ended) for this match because the last few matches I've seen live we haven't performed well in. Good to see it really helped. :rolleyes:
Anyway having caught up with it since then, it's pretty clear we were fucking abysmal and lucky to get out with a draw. Kind of expected a lethargic performance after the Spurs game and coming of an international break but still pissed it happened.
God we miss Santi so much. It's exactly like last season ...... once we lose him the entire team and play goes to complete shit. Sort it out Wenger.
I suppose a 1 - 1 at Old Trafford isn't that bad of a result but after drawing with the spuds last time and seeing us fall further behind some of our competitors it's pretty frustrating, especially when Utd weren't even that special despite all the dosh they've spent.
