Agreed, I fail to see why people are starting to crack just because we are no longer on top (just on GD I must add). I fancy our chances of getting another 6 points from the next 2 matches with Liverpool likely to drop some (ideally a draw from both).Originally Posted by Power_n_Glory
We seem to be pretty good at beating the "non-contenders", which is what we should be doing if we are to be in there for the Title.
Chelsea came to play for a draw and did it well although we should have had a penalty. Chelsea are poor though they have worse striker problems than we do.
Giroud missed another couple good chances. He suits the system but is not a goal scorer.
We are joint top with Liverpool which would have been good odds at start of season. They have Chelsea and city coming up so we need to make most of it but Newcastle are a good side so point there not bad result. We have to beat west ham they are struggling and don't score.
Mourinho is a douche nozzle.
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.
Nah, it's all about momentum. The silly points dropped at home vs Everton started the ball rolling, downhill. And that's how momentum works, in both directions. Beat Everton, finish top of the CL group, I guarantee we'd have given city a tougher test. Even a draw there and we would have faced the chavs brimming with confidence rather than being so nervous of a loss we might as well have worn turtle shells rather than a kit. 2 from 9 and a throwaway CL performance and we are second in the PL, second in the CL when we were top in both and had it all in our own hands.
First to second is not a positive direction whichever way you sell it - many said we were top based on an easy schedule. I wouldn't say they have been proved right because we have been on the end of some shocking refereeing recently, but it certainly has given plenty of ammo to our doubters and rivals.
The dropped points at Everton made what happened next almost inevitable. We have bitter experience of what happens when we throw away games like that. Same with putting out weak sides in minor cup competitions, a loss is a loss. You can't gain confidence from a loss.
We had to make the games against city and the boring chavs LESS important, instead we made them vital. 7 minutes more concentration vs Everton and we'd be top today, by a bigger marging that 2 points I think because I believe we'd have done better in subsequent games.
You can't fuck with momentum and confidence, once ot's going in the wrong direction it's hard to turn around. Time for Wenger to earn his money now.

Ozil anonymous? Eh?
He's been competent at worst. He hasn't done a Ronaldo or Messi, true enough. If that's what you mean by being anonymous then give him some time to settle in a new country and a new league.

This midfield continues to frustrate, we keep saying we need a striker, but whats the point of a striker, if no one is creating anything for them.
And can Rosicky stop fucking making so many shit passes, he can be such an annoying player, gets in great position, only to fuck it up, with one of his usual shit passes.
That's right, joint top nothing. We're second. We were first and now we're second. But with Dean today I guess a 0-0 was a bit of a miracle result, just shows how horribly negative the chavs were. Also, Suarez can't keep up that strike rate and as soon as he stops pool start plummeting. They are a one man team, like we were with the Dutch Iscariot. Doesn't work. Fails in the end.

They were all doing it tonight, not just Rosicky. At least he moves the ball forward, that's such a bonus. Forward is where the opposition goal is.

They've been doing it all season, our midfield really haven't played that well in an attacking sense.
It's nice that he moves the ball forward, but whats the point, if he ends giving the ball away, like he always does. Trying to force a pass, that's not there, or just making a shit pass. His end product is very poor.
I would seriously love to know just what the fuck wenger was doing tonight.
Why were no subs made?? It's fucking unfathomable.
If he's have made some changes, Carzola and pods, we might have had a chance of winning the game.
I just cannot understand it
Even when the SS guy questioned him about it he had to think a short time for some shit explanation 'errrrr, ummmm, well eerrrrr' Really arsene?!?
I know we've gotta play on Thursday but FFS. Giving pods 10 mins or so wouldn't have fucking hurt.
