Arsenal v Chelsea Match Reaction

[Kano]

we need to be patient guys

1. The new financial deals have only just kicked in
2. We can't just expect to suddenly compete with the likes of City and Chelsea who've been financially doped for the last decade
3. No one else is looking like clear favourites to win it, so we're still very much in it
4. Let's judge Wenger at the end of the season, if he hasn't competed properly for the title then he can go
5. Chin up we've won two F.A Cups in a row, which is a major trophy tbh
6. Buying players is not always the solution
.
.
.
10. How many substitutions have you made, how many games have you managed ...it's not like some Joe Bloggs off the street can just spout tactical or technical solutions
.
.
.
.
15. If Wenger does not have a plan, keep quiet or better yet shut up.
.
.
.
19. Stability has been key to the club and good replacement managers do not grow on trees, the next manager could be a lot worse.
20. We need to offer Wenger a new contract.
.
.
23. Thank you for your interest in our affairs

Yours Sincerely

AFC Board

*PS - Season ticket subscription renewal for next season now open, prices frozen for band 2 games and we've chucked in a free programme.

We also won away to Utd in the FA Cup.

After game 23 in the 2013/14 season, we fell down the table after being top of the league. Deja vu. Game 23 again we're behind City again. Like clockwork.

We've been wobbling for a few weeks now. I personally don't think we'll win the league, I don't really rate our chances higher than Leicester or Spurs. When the going gets tough this team folds like a pack of cards.

Losing today was not Wenger's fault . Some fans are rightly angry but it's just an emotional thing after a defeat.
Players should have known that Per was slow like a tortoise and vulnerable to counteract . Metersacker himself should have been ashamed .An experienced defender like him should have known as a last defender his tackle could be costly . If he had let Costa score the game was still winnable . At 10 vs 11, Chelsea were not the better team . Arsenal should have got at least a draw but they panicked too much and wasted chances after chances .

I agree to an extent. I thought we were looking sharp until the sending off. Just ruined the game. But I don't know why Ramsey and Flamini are still starting. They leave us exposed and that got us into a position where Merts could be exposed. Ramsey dives into a tackles and misses high up the pitch leaving Flamini on his own. An unchallenged pass is made that puts Costa through and Merts has a brain fart.

But the manager doesn't need to figure any of this out? It's all down to the players? That's convenient.

L'Idiot has screwed us 3 weeks in a row with his cowardly bollocks non-tactical clusterfuckery. He chucked the Liverpool game. Shit his pants for the Stoke game and now he's hidden under the bench for the routine beating from the chavs. So in some ways perhaps he's a little bit to blame for the shocking shit that he been presiding over for 10 years.

Hmm. I think it's a bit premature to conclude we're going to do the same - for one thing City are hardly on a roll either. We've had some tough games, we've not done well in them. If we do fall away again though then I'll be #WengerOut-ing with the best of them.

But we just have. After game 23 we go from top to being behind City. It's a funny coincidence.

Can we recover....I don't know. I hope so.

[gunnerrrrr]

Its not rocket science, flamin and ramsey don't work and that unbalances the whole team. What flamini was doing in the box time and time again i don't know.....absurd

However taking off giroud was a shocker......idotic

That's what I say every morning at dawn. Just because the sun rose every other morning there's no need to make assumptions about it rising this morning - it could be different this time. And with Wenger it has only been a decade of the same old thing over and over and over and over and over again, nowhere near enough time in which to judge anything. I think we need to judge him in 2019 when his next contract renewal is due.

I think posting that on an extremely low populated Arsenal forum in a forgotten corner of the Internet will prove to be the catalyst for this revolution you speak of.

It's not sparking a revolution it's just pointing out that it seems ridiculous to be so angry about Wenger yet kind of tacitly rubber stamp approval of his management.

TBF, technically, the sun does not rise. It just stays where it is.

You'll always get the likes of Ty along with the increasing number of football tourists who are either mentally certifiable or just there for the photo-op. Plenty of these types to fill the seats. I would think the club would love it if the compos mentis fans stayed away, less negativity in the beautiful world of Arsenal Football Corporation.
