It's lazy and unfocused stuff and as far as I'm concerned the manager is entirely to blame. Wenger's standards are too low. We could do better than 4th, he settles for it. We could play at a higher level and for longer periods, he settles for less. Yes we are winning, yes we are third. Utd are a point behind and total shit playing the sort of football Ferguson would have flailed them for. Nicking points against teams that cost a fraction of ours is not impressive, even if we nick the points on a consistent basis. We're damn lucky Alexis said yes, credit to Wenger for that. Without the extra level he has brought to our performances can you imagine what a shit season this would have been so far. How long can Wenger be allowed to get away with this standard of football?
    We won though! Brat!

    Only saw the highlights but it looked like a pretty good 2nd half performance. A thumping in all but scoreline - and as I said no-one has actually thumped them there this year. Their biggest home defeat in the league has been 2-0.

    If you're going to compare us to the Invincibles then prepare for a lifetime of disappointment, it's never going to be that good again. We should be better than we are but we are now picking up, we've won 9 out of the last 11 league games. We need to start winning the important ones - in the league they're all important but Monday's result will be telling.

    This United side are utter garbage, worse than Moyes' team last year. We really should beat them but they will probably pub a 1-0. Rooney dive for a pel. Fellaini to elbow all 11 of our players.
    Important win - agreed.
    The game won't be remembered - shame, but true.
    We really should beat Utd - and that's the key point. If we were genuinely playing good football then there wouldn't be a question mark at all. Are the 3 points against QPR a measure of building progression that will culminate in some sort of achievement, or are they points towards another 4th place finish and glorious (predictable) failure when it counts?

    Good win.
    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.

    I say, "Basic stuff, passing, shooting, crossing, tackling, pure garbage in the main with the exception of short periods where we start playing."

    You say, "If you're going to compare us to the Invincibles then prepare for a lifetime of disappointment, it's never going to be that good again."

    Yes, we absolutely must start winning the important ones. That's why I'm not salivating over another serving of bread and butter. We got 3 points but 3 points towards what? I guess it comes down to belief. After a decade of the same shit happening over and over, where does the individual fan stand in terms of belief. I'm at the pie in the sky stage, where are you?

    I missed last nights game. In fact I've missed a load of games now, and I really don't give a shit.
    If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.

    Our record in 2015 has been title winning NQ. All it needs is a consistent application across an entire season and we should be capable of putting in a credible title challenge next year.

    As for bad performances, even the invincible team ground out 2 - 1's and 2 - 0's when needed. It wasn't always champagne swash buckling football from them. Besides, we've had moments of sublime football now like the 5 - 0 against Villa.

    Also, whilst you may be correct in pointing out that the top clubs may not be as good as they once were, I do actually thing the rest of the league is a lot better and have caught up; consequentially (and I know it's a cliche) they aren't any easy games any more. And tbh, I prefer it this way instead of a league like Spain where it's basically a two horse race (too early to say if Athletico will last) and a matter of how many goals Barca and Madrid score against everyone else.

    By the way any news on Chesney? Why was he dropped yesterday? Did Wenger think he was the one responsible for that white powder through his mailbox, when it was actually Zimm?

    The thing is we've never quite managed it across a whole season, well, not never, but not for ages. 2008 we were pretty close but the sequence of draws when Eduardo got his injury messed it up for us. Every other season we've either gone off like a train and faded or we've started poorly and picked up. I don't know if it's the perennial injuries but we never quite seem to manage to get it together and play well enough for a whole season to seriously challenge.
