Arsenal v Chelsea Match Reaction

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

You see - different already. That's what posi-diddly-tivity can do for you.

Like watching Feo on the wing.

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.

The difference is Ty is a fully paid up member of the Wenger fan club, he thinks the sun shines out of his arse therefore there is no reason why he wouldn't go to games.
What I'm saying is if we genuinely saying we cannot progress under this man it makes a nonsense to go to games whilst the club remains under his management.
I wanted so badly for him to prove me wrong, but our results against Chelsea have been nauseating for the past four years...since we last beat them in the league three draws and six defeats....two goals scored and 17 conceeded.

This game wasn't the turning point, it was the Liverpool game. We had that won and then Wenger did what he has increasingly been doing and made crazy subs that invited pressure on us. Throwing away points like that, whether other clubs around us are losing or not, sets a terrible tone. This was carried into the Stoke match where we again played right into the opponent's hands. 2 points from 6 against a dire Liverpool defence and a toothless (though certainly not studless) Stoke left us relying on a game where we hardly ever get a fair crack. The inevitable happened and it became 2 from 9. And Wenger can easily repeat this over the next 3 games. He won't learn. He won't change anything.

He's just been on saying he takes positives from the game. Either he's deluded beyond all hope of recovery or he's trying to con anyone who watched that shambles. He's only got a leg to stand on because nobody had taken this campaign by the scruff of the neck and we find ourselves near the top despite the fact we've only put in a handful of non-shambolic performances all season. This crash has been coming, long before we stepped on the pitch for the routine loss to the chavs.

Whether the fans stay away or not, this manage has to go. 10 years giving him the benefit of the doubt. There's no doubt remaining. This has to end at some point. 2019 according to the thieves upstairs.

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.

*sigh*
I don't know any more either. We've not been playing well but we've mostly been getting results, a point away at Stoke and Liverpool isn't a disaster but the mess Chelsea are in we really needed to win today, it would have been a statement of intent. we'd have gone top. We're level on points with City - you could argue we should be ahead of them with some of the results we've got but you could say the same about them. I'd be happy for us both to keep stumbling along and Leicester to win it, frankly.

I'm not going to bite down on the suicide pill till FY comes to town and f**ks up the next game for us

[Niall_Quinn]

a point away at Stoke and Liverpool isn't a disaster

Yes it is.

[Power n Glory]

The good thing is we're getting players back from injury.

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.

Ah, the man who said we'd be 10 points off the top after 8 games and who confidently declared us out of the CL after the first 2 group games is once again commending himself for his 100% accuracy in foretelling the future...

We're level with City. I'm pissed off with today's result but I've said all along while we're in the race I'll believe we have a chance. If we fall away then yes, Wenger Out. But I'll wait till it happens and while we're level with City (who many are proclaiming Champions Elect) then we're clearly still in the race.

Fuck it - I hope Ranieiri brings the title to Leicester.

I miscalculated nothing about us, we've been as shit as expected. I miscalculated about the gypos. They have been shit too, unexpectedly. Essentially you're the man crowing about somebody else being shit while ignoring your own club.

Shit manager.
Shit mentality.
Shit tactics.
Shit subs.
Shit transfer policy.
Shit players (like Mertesacker, when we have Gabriel on the bench)

What's the answer?

I know, Man City are shit!

10 years of it and still here you are with your excuses. Doesn't matter how many times the same shit rolls over, you still kick it down the road.
