[Özim]

Good win in the battle for the "I don't give a sh*t" 4th place.

No need to keep re-iterating same.

Urgent requirement in the summer to sell Mertesacker and Giroud and replace with proper footballers. These guys are mega fuck ups and so slow it must be an in-joke of some sort how they get a game.

Odd to see us not collapsing under pressure. Down to 9 and facing WBA, Webb and Giroud I expected us to crumble. But they hung on and grabbed a narrow win from the jaws of a straightforward victory. Wenger tried but he couldn't haul WBA back into it. First he took off our pace and one of our only outlets, then he removed the player linking the midfield and finally he snuffed out the last bit of technical quality. But the donkeys remaining defied him and hoofed their way to 3 points.

Webb ran out of time trying to get all our players in the book, despite conjuring up 6 minutes extra.

These kind of mud and farts performances might drag us into 4th or even 3rd if the chavs go on holidays early. It's all very undignified and an insult to football but seeing the Utd/ Chav match it's clear we aren't the only shite in this league. Far from it.

Hidden in the piles of excrement there were some top quality moments from Rosicky, a throw back to the technical and direct football we used to play. This made the game worth the watch. His first touch and direct strike (well saved) and his sharpness in the follow up and neat finish ( Giroud Ramsey ) showed the rest how it should be done.

Monreal was okay at the back, stayed nice and tight to his man all match. Sagna is finished, obviously.

You're obviously not happy whatever our results any more, why bother following the club at all?

gotta love Gervinho's better late than never start to the season. Add Brains to his new found confidence and he'd be a world beater.

it does make you wonder where these kind of performances and results were earlier on in the season or in crucial cup ties. Don't get me wrong it's good that we've pulled back from the brink and really leveraging pressure on spurs and on chelsea who seem in free fall, it just makes it more frustrating that they follow on from the toothless fa cup exits year in year out.
It just seems that when the pressure is on to acheive our minimum expectation we come out fighting, but when it comes to actually acheiving anything we go out with a whimper. And this season is endemic of so many seasons gone by, i just really hope it's the last we put ourselves in this stupid situation.

Verm and Kos our CBs v Norwich spells defeat

Giroud is shit. Time Ba came home

This is one of the down sides if we get fourth place! We will get the same shit next season!

This is the terminal problem with the team, the burden of expectation crushes them every season and they only start to recover once everyone stops talking about them.
