Match reaction vs Pool

[Munchies]

Where the hell were Ollie and Steve French, his official bag carriers.

Come to think of it, has anyone seen Ollie post after the game ?

Ollie is out of the country, as it happens.

Problem with Wenger is that he is cheap and unimaginative and blind to the absolutely frikin obvious
Arteta is no DM .....Yet he will not buy one
Giroud is a class C striker, but he will play him come hell or high water as he feels obligated to see him play in the WC

All he ever does is play his favourites for as long as possible without devising a strategy for the game in hand

He survives because fortunately, no matter what crap he puts together over a season, there are always 16 other teams more shit than his

How long do we exist simply to give this man, a reason to wake up every morning

Oh yeah. Wenger is such a bumbling incompetent that we're only in second place, a massive point off Chelsea who have spent #shitloads and have the bestest manager ever. And City who have spent #shitloadssquared are a whopping -1 points above us. Wenger out, tbh, imo, rspca.

He's in Switzerland isn't he?
Hope there are no Dignitas offices nearby

Your standard reply, which you'll still be repeating 5 years from now when our record will read 14 years and counting. Loser's paradise, that's what she was now....by Bob Marley, in case you're wondering.

Feel free to actually respond to my point

Only in your mind do you think you've made a point. All you ever say is that it's never Wengers fault, see what he's up against. .

I think the problem there is no grey area, people seem to argue that he can do right and that he can do no wrong.
The January Transfer Window is notoriously difficult to bring players in, i think we would have found it impossible to bring the kind of quality striker we need in, but my question is why we didn't do it in the summer of 2012 or the summer of 2013.
It's also very alarming that our record against the perceived top sides is very poor and that is because we are largely tactically out thought, i really don't understand how we thought we would set up like we did today and not be punished for it.....but the main difference between us and the other sides around us is that we seemingly have no pace in the side, when is the last time you have seen us go at a team on the counter attack and look threatening...we have too many similar players who all play one position and therefore we seem bereft of ideas at times.
We have done well very this season but this in part has been accomodated by getting maximum points against very poor teams (this is why we are in a situation where any team in the bottom of half of the table is not safe from relegation), but take away a Spurs side in disarray at the Emirates and a Liverpool side who played three at the back in the first half and what results have we got against the sides we consider to be fighting for the table, today was a very similar performance to Man City we gave the ball away cheaply in midfield and they were able to break on us with pace, we showed our mental fragility against United making it six defeats in a row at Old Trafford in all competitions.....Chelsea managed to get a point against us at the Emirates with ridiculous ease and if we play like we did against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge we will be mauled.
The problem is there is an air of predictability about it which makes it all the more frustrating, and if people think it's ok not to have won anything for nine years than they are wrong......because of what happened today Saturday's result is imperative....Champions League qualification is not silverware but the FA cup is and i don't like the way Wenger almost turns his nose up at it.
We don't ask to win everything we just ask to compete, for the prices we pay for tickets that is not too much to ask.....and the way things are going i sincerly hope this is the last contract Wenger signs with us especially if he doesn't utilise the money we have from the Emirates and Puma deals.

Apparently Arsene has been taken to hospital.

He's got a bad side haha lol jk not jk

I heard a rumour on another site of a furious bust up between Wenger and Bould, , to do with our playing a high line. They say Bould has tendered his resignation. Wouldn't surprise me. Who wants to be constantly associated with our regular horror show cluster-fucks.
