Match Reaction vs Fulham 10/11/12

[Niall_Quinn]

These aren't tight games. They shouldn't be anyway. It's bad defending that's costing us. When you go two goals up you should be able to hold the lead.

But when you don't hold the lead you need another goal, right? We don't have strikers who say they will start playing once the defence has sorted it's shit out. At least I hope we don't.

Because we've pinned everything on Giroud being a success up top this season. The whole team could have benefited from him stepping up and smashing that hat trick in. His confidence would be sky high for the NLD, we would have 3 points in the bag because of a grandstand performance from him personally. The questions would be gone. Sure he could have missed too. But that's the point, we want to see what we have up there. Is he something worth pinning a hope to or just another so-so player who will get lost in this bullshit we call a season. You have to seize these moments, it's crazy to let them pass. Succeed, fail, but either way at least try. If the decision was not in his hands then whoever took the decision needs to be sat down to have football explained to them again from scratch. It's supposed to be about the highs and lows, the heroes and the also-rans, that's where the entertainment comes from and the meaningful talking points. Our football is like our financial policy - fucking stale and fucking boring and a million miles from what football should be.

NQ > terry tuffnutz again

i think that all but confirms his status as the most feared poster on here.

we'll count that as a trophy

And we should start with Diaby. Sick of listening to Wenger telling us hes like a new player ever teim he comes back for 20 minutes. He's now out til at least January with a muscle injury. Just sell him or give him away or cancel his contract and get him the insurance money.

There's a lot of rubbish let's be honest, from the serial crocks to sh*te who should be nowhere near a club of our stature.

Let's not forget the guy at the top who makes ridiculous decisions and mistakes on a regular basis./

as that is the very first concern from todays game? the defence has been average for years, as have arsenal. does that mean we just take it for granted, no need for debate there either?

[Dennis Bendtner]

He plays every game so it's highly likely he'd get a fair few chances. Today he as off sure but I was referring to be the general penalty taker not today's incident.

I'm fairly sure Wenger was doing the opposite.

Anyway - Arteta scored a last-minute penalty in his final game for Everton against Blackburn. Just saying.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

Yep. As will we be soon if we stick with the mad prof.

if 16 points after 11 games isnt pointless then please give me the glass you've been drinking from.

might even help me get over this hangover.

[jelgoon]

i agree. Peter Storey, Alan Ball, Liam Brady - list goes on.

GWrs cast your memories to a few seasons back. Who was our most dependable penalty taker. Yes it was the least offensive player in the team. The one who never scores from open play Lauren. Basically penalty taking is not a skill. It is a mindset. Right now we have no characters in the team. Wenger likes it that way.

It's not just today's game though is it? It's 7 years of this sh*t, these comments aren't simply about today it's the general feeling about this team/squad/club.

All these little things add up to making us a nothing team with no hope of any success, you don't win anything with a sh*te defence and neither do you win anything with shrinking violets who run away at the mere sign of trouble.

You want leaders, players with self belief not players who have a "not sure if they I'm up to it today, maybe next time" attitude.

[jelgoon]

Obviously - Ive thought Wenger was shit even longer than you. From about 2007 it was obvious he'd lost the plot.
