Oh well not a loss
tired after a midweek game, last few weeks they have been playing their hearts out so are bound to be a bit tired. annoying to draw but lets not go over the top here unless its about arshavin. that useless fat cunt can fuck off
Disappointing result, I think we all would have seen this as another good chance to bag 3 points. The run had to end some time though and we did look a little fucked, a lot of effort has obviously gone into hauling ourselves up the table.
It's frustrating because our poor start means we're playing catch up every game, and dropping silly points like this is not good enough, but I think everyone knows that.
On we go.
one point. could come handy later. (yes. please edit. :lol: )
fucking annoying, the football.
chin up lads.
Fuck.
Although we're going to drop points at some point. So long as we don't back it up by fucking up against Wigan.
Players seemed to be tired, tbh it was always going to be a hard game after the midwek game. Ashavin should never play again for the club, seems like he don't really care anyways.
no to dissapointed, you can't beat all the teams can you. lets hope we do better in the CC game.
Oh well is a good reaction.
As long we bounce back in the next game anyway.
Djourou was not only surprsingly not responsible for the fuck-up, but was probably our best player.
Gervinho is also a million times better than Arshavin.
Arshavin does not get many opportunities these days.
It is easy to see why.
We can correct the situation in just over a month. :good:Quote:

Even so, we had to score Fulham's goal for them, the ref was disgrace (as normal) and Fulham came here to wreck the spectacle and were happy to brick up the goal. I hope the team realises that a couple more giveaways like this and 4th place is gone.
Midfield is poor, nearly no creativity at all, Arteta and Ramsey didnt do enough IMO. Please please Viniger, buy Gotze and send Arshavin back to Russia. :coffee:
Really poor performance apart from the last 15 minutes. The midfield was seriously lacking in creativity, and the lack of tempo in our play has been a hallmark of our performances this season. We've got away with it for the last few weeks, but we can't keep a winning streak going playing the way we have this season. The 5 wins in a row is a red herring, we've improved defensively since the start of the season but our offensive play has been poor in general.
And I'm sorry, but Arteta doesn't inspire me with confidence. It's all well and good saying that he's doing the defensive work and he keeps things ticking over, but we need much more from him. Song is doing the defensive work in midfield, and Arteta must stop hiding. The last minute of today's game summed him up. When we needed him to drive forward and try and create a final chance for us, he got caught in possession and gave Fulham the ball. This is not good enough. Some supporters have lowered their expectations of what this team can accomplish which is fair enough, but let's not forget, we had a large transfer surplus in the summer, and the fact that we're forced to field such a mediocre midfield speaks volumes about Wenger's lack of judgement in the transfer window.
Yup!
We arent going to win every game, although I was confident we would this one.
Arshavin should not start as a winger ahead of Gerv again, no matter what Ach says but come ANC we will be seeing him more me thinks > Oxo/Miya :pray:
Djouru played well today snd I thought Merts was OK too. Santos looking more solid and we look less of a train wreck defending high balls.
Midfield was passable apart from first few minutes when I was thinking we are going to mulla them.
RvP needs support or we need another option we he is tired - Would Ju have been a decent try for this game?
Strong plan needed for the Jan transfer window.
I doubt we'll see much more of Arshavin. And that suits me fine. Wenger probably only felt the need to play him because the team of recent weeks has worked hard and he rotated accordingly to make best use of the team's resources. Unfortunately it is clear Wenger will have to write off the use of Arshavin. The guy does not care and is one of the few residual cancerous cells left in the team. Getting rid of him in January will be no loss to us at all - even if he were not to be replaced.
So what's the solution? Sack Wenger and force the transfer window open again? We have what we have.Quote:

Of course we're stuck with this until at least January, but it's absolutely pathetic planning by Wenger. Seriously, we made a lot of money selling Cesc and Nasri, and had enough time to properly replace them with top quality players. I know we've had this debate before, but we really needed to do better business in the transfer window. Instead, we ended up with some mediocre has-beens on the final day of the window, because Wenger is such a stubborn man.Quote:

ESPN's closing words. We got both the fucking goals and won the forward passes match-up 150 to -15, gunned down in a landslide 1-1 draw? Cunts. Mike Dean will have to get a job with them when he's finished smearing excrement all across the beautiful game on Saturday afternoons.
I've already explained to you what's going on but you are determined to chase Wenger around instead, calling him a witch. It's not his money, never was, never will be.Quote:

Cash in on Russian Andy, he dithers around and takes far too much time over things. . .Flavs asked where to play Goetze, good question but he could at least take Arshavins number and leave that headache to Wenger
Do neef another striker tho. . .Chamak clearly missed and thankfully the cross for TV5's goal. . .played with spirit though but not enough for NQ thats for sure
Glad I don't subscribe to ESPN - or Sky Sports. Not putting a penny into their grubby pockets fills me with satisfaction.
That's what I thought at the time, thank fuck the ball didn't go to him and TV was able to charge in.Quote:

Sky Sports is the only reason to even have a TV, what else are you going to watch?Quote:

December onward our squad depth and Arsene's ability to rotate will be tested completely. Hope we don't get any fresh injuries
What rubbish, You just want to moan for moaning sake, you'd have moaned had we won that gam 5-0. We've been all hailing the new siginings for doing well, soon as we don't win its how rubbish they are etc.Quote:

ESPN were typically cuntish as always. The presenter is the biggest piece of shit on television. He's seriously got an Anti-Arsenal agenda and he barely conceals it. Probably something to do with the number of "non white" players in our lineup. He does seem the type to masturbate listening to the National Anthem and draping himself in the Union Jack to make himself feel better.
I thought Fulham defended very well today and Scwarczer (don't care how its spelt) made the saves when needed - so I was surprised that no one picked up Vermaelen's run.
Surprised and relieved.

I've not been convinced by Santos, Arteta and (to a lesser extent) Mertesacker since we signed them, and I've not changed my tune since. I know we don't have the "right" to beat any team, but the lethargy that we're seeing from this team is seriously worrying. If intensity and tempo of our game was higher, I could accept dropping points of course, but when it seems our whole mentality isn't correct, you need to ask questions.Quote:
