Any news on Wilshere?![]()
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
Probably the best football we've played all season. Even with 10 men.
Giroud, Theo, Sir Jack, Cazorla and Arteta were triffic in the first half. Really wasteful all round though. Should have been 0-3 at the very least in the first half.
The game became mental after Wilshere and GHELkers went off, but we still played some lovely, incisive football and should have killed the game off about five times.
The second half defensive displays from Sagna, Szczesny, Giroud, Ramsey and the cynical stuff from Mickey Tets were brilliant. Mertesacker looks like he's getting his form back too.
Sunderland were genuinely as bad as Stoke today and Taylor was actively condoning their tactics while booking Arsenal for first fouls as usual. A truly terrible display of refereeing.
Arsenal.
Grit.
Determination.
Football.
MON.
that performance by the referee was an absoulte joke. he just let them kick the shit out of us time and time again and nothing. it was quite clear after jack performance in the first half that MON said to his team at half time to kick the hsit out of him and get him off the pitch. fucking ****s.
great defensive display, everyone was solid. sagna was supberb, so was chesney. but my MOTM was ramsey. was everywhere, even played at right back and did great. great performance against those cheating thugish ****s.
Wenger says Wilshere "can't walk properly now" but should only be out for 4/5 days.
Yeah, Wenger using 'should' tends to be ominous.
Sunderland weren't that thuggish. They have a fair number of cloggers yes, but there was only one bad tackle which was by Larrson, and IMO close to a red. Wilshere will be fouled, his style of play will invite challenges and we can't expect opposition to just back off and let us run through them.
MOTD worth watching?
Was the goal any good or a pub team effort?
Wheelchair doesn't need to play against Blackeye so no harm done, hopefully.

Wenger on Sagna: Yes, he was outstanding. Will he play there again? This is not the time to speculate.Wenger on the defence: I told you we had two players in every position. With Sagna and Ramsey coming into the defence, maybe we have now have three in every position!Wenger on Wilshere: We will not put a timeline on it. Two to three days, I believe.Wenger on Sunderland's approach: There is nothing wrong with their approach today. They played exceptional rugby.
