    We can only hope Abramovich gets tired of Mourinho again, whatever happens they must not win the CL with him, otherwise I'm done with this shit man.

We just have to find a way to beat that style of play and quit moaning.
    Actually it's not the Arsenal fans who are moaning. It's the pundits who are apologising furiously for the way the chavs interpret "sport". The crowd sung boring, boring. It's just a crowd doing what a crowd does. "Same old Arsenal, always cheating", as we are being cheated out of the game by picking up bookings when our rivals walk away without sanction. The crowd sing it to wind us up and rub it in. No massive write up required the day after. So it's strange how the media has circled the Maureen bandwagon since the game. They seem to protest too much.

    I think he's probably learned his lesson following the period of musical chairs between Satan's terms. He wanted show-piece football but couldn't purchase it directly. I think he'll stick with Maureen now. If money can't buy class and style he has seen it can at least buy titles provided you have an efficient carthorse pulling things along.

    It still is. The entertainment factor is a double edged sword. It's easy on the eye but you also get the TV broadcasters wanting a slice of the action and even our own Board treating fans as customers coming to be entertained instead of fans. Some of the things we've said on here that's killed football.

    I don't have a problems with teams being pragmatic - I never used to like it when Wenger whined about lower clubs coming and parking the bus, what are they supposed to do, play the beautiful game, give us room to play and get walloped? For most clubs a point away at Arsenal is a great result.
    But Chelsea? They've got the infinite money cheat on, they have no excuse for bus parking. They can have their pick of creative attacking players.
    When we used to go to Old Trafford, back in the day when it was us or them, we went to win.

    They didn't park the bus. We've seen way worse. They set themselves up to defend in numbers but break quickly.

    I won't complain about it because when won our FA Cup against Utd we defended well and solid. I wouldn't take anything away from us on that day. Same goes for the way we got to the CL final.

    I didn't see it to be fair but it seems they came to not lose rather than to win.

    As long as there are draws in football, that will happen. It's partly why the American's haven't taken to 'soccer'!

    Yep, disgraceful showing from a 300 billion quid squad.
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
