Just like Adams, Keown and Bould used to do after a loss.Laurent Koscielny and David Silva opted to grab a unique memento off each other after Manchester City beat Arsenal on Sunday.
Following City's 3-1 victory in the Premier League, the Arsenal defender and the City midfielder decided to swap shorts with each other. Yes you heard that correct. Shorts not shirts.
I don't think.
Silva beat the pants off us on the pitch and then walked off with them at the end. Nice.

It's not the first time one of our players has done something like this is it? Players with really desire and hunger to be successful wouldn't be doing this kind of thing after defeat, we've got players that really aren't hungry to win, they get beaten and it's water of a ducks back, though to be fair it happens so much these days (sometimes by a cricket score) it must be part of the course, they know Wenger won't come down on them like a tonne of bricks either so they probably think what's the harm.Originally Posted by Niall_Quinn

You idiom...
You'll get there through denial and error.
Besides, it's not a rocket appliance.
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.
This is why I've always put you on a pedal stool.
Lee Dixon. A bloke who knows a bit about defending and knows a bit about playing under Wenger.'I honestly think they're unfixable under Arsene. What he's got there is he's created an environment which the players don't really know what they're doing without the ball.
'It's quite simple - when I watch them I think "they could beat anyone on their day going forward, but they could lose to anyone defensively".
'That summed it up at the weekend against City. The Lacazette thing is another issue, as to why he's not playing, but you play Sanchez up front, who is a chaser of the ball; if he loses the ball then he'll chase to win it back.
'If you've got that, as a manager, you have to have the players to go and back that up, and he didn't have that. He hasn't got that because they don't know how to do that on a regular basis - they are not a pressing side.
'They do it now and again - they did it against Chelsea, they got it right against Chelsea in the cup final and in the league, and you think "wow, they're back".
'And then they fall again like they did against Watford, and then you see them trying to press Man City, one of the best passing sides in the league. How is that allowed to happen?
'If you're not a pressing side, then you have to press for months and years at a time in order to get it right, it's really difficult. It's not just a case of "you all just rush to the ball".
'There have to be triggers, and you need to know when to press - which is just as hard as knowing when not to press if you're a pressing side, because sometimes you have to unpress, if you like, and just sit where you are.
'Just running willy-nilly at the ball is a disaster, especially against City.'
I wonder if anyone within the club is listening?
"I honestly think they're unfixable under Arsene."

Some feedback from Arsenal "fans" in response to Dixon.
Year after year, the same old excuses.Well who do the fans want to replace Wenger? Yeah no one knows or has a clue.
Wenger was actually right about not giving Sanchez and Ozil new contracts. The only problem was the Arsenal fans who would have rioted if he sold them in their prime
Careful what you wish for.... With that squad, Sanchez & Ozil leaving as well.... Wenger going could see a massive decline and maybe even mid table - lower half finishes for quite a few seasons.
Arsenal have a net spend budget that allows them to finish in roughly 4th place.............it's not rocket science it really isn't!
Oh Dixon........Your suggestion is that Wenger deliberately chooses to buy only one finished article player a season like Sanchez, Ozil and Lacazette................instead of buying four in one window like the other teams........as if he can but does not spend...........I will say this slowly........Arsenal have a smaller budget!

I don’t know about you but I’m starting to despise the club as a whole from top to bottom.
Some feedback from opposition fans...
We want you to stay! We want you to stay! Arsene Wenger, we want you to stay!
