Match Reaction vs Pub Team Olympiakos (Home).

[Marc Overmars]

I'm willing to write off the CL if we it means mounting a title challenge. We just have to beat United to restore some credibility.

Well, I do think the Utd game is important in terms of our title prospects.
But ultimately you judge any manager at any club in any season at the end.
Every season has ups and downs, it's only at the end you can properly assess how things have gone.
It's very 'GW' how such an obviously true statement is lampooned and used as a basis for so much WUMming

This CL campaign has been a fiasco so far. Although Wenger's generally got a poor record in the CL we've pretty much always qualified from the group. Didn't see last night's game so can't comment sensibly on it but...yeah, you probably should be beating Olympiarcos at home fairly comfortably

We're out of the CL, two beatings from teams with a solid tradition of being on the rough end of beatings themselves. We haven't turned up for the competition. We're as far away from competing for this thing as we have ever been. Despite the new money, despite world class signings. We're nowhere. Why do we have to wait until the end to assess what's happened?

Wenger blamed the lack of “quality in our defensive concentration” for the defeat while he lamented bad luck, too. Olympiakos, he noted, had mustered only four shots on target but departed with three goals. “This happens once in 100 games in the Champions League,” Wenger said.

Someone needs to take him to school on this. What's the relevance? Zagreb only managed 4 shots on goal last week and scored 2! Anderlecht came to the Emirates had 5 shots on goal and scored 3. Dortmund in 2013 at home only managed 3 shots on goal but scored 2. Schalke beat us in 2012 at home 0-2 with only 2 shots on target!

I think if we lose to Utd I will finally snap.
Then GW will be a dark, dark place.


You'll miss my cheery reasonableness, you know...

Every cloud and all that...

Lame ass excuses.

Wenger, the victim of cruel and outlandish statistics and bad fortune. Otherwise he'd have won this competition every year. Why does it always happen to us? How unlucky can you get?

Is that what he wants the fans to say?

Pretty much. We're not going to win the CL, we should be getting out of that group but if we did win the league () I could live with an early exit from the CL.
If we balls it up against Utd then

Because that's not the only competition we're competing in.

I might as well spread the joy. There isn’t anything to restore. Even if we beat the breaks off Man Utd it won’t redefine our season or awaken some sort of new strength in our team because we have Wenger at the helm. Last night’s result is us all over. We suddenly look like we can find the back of the net, the press are talking up Theo, the press and pundits are now starting to believe and forgetting about our lack of signings in the summer and then we go on to do this. Bench our one signing and play like shit in defence. We’ll solve one problem but create another for ourselves. It’s an endless rut and Wenger creates the problems for himself.

[Niall_Quinn]

Because that's not the only competition we're competing in.

Competing? You slipped that one in.

So around the end of May we'll be able to confirm Wenger REMAINS a laughing stock in terms of his record in European football? Okay.

Until then what do we do? Do we just not talk about it or do we pretend we won or something?
