Match Reaction - Arsenal 1-2 Watford - Wenger Out

[Özim]

I haven't been able to find the clip online, but if you get a chance to see the second Watford goal keep a close eye on Mertesacker. You'll see very clearly why he should never play another game for the club again. He should be in hiding now, after his performance, not spouting off and certainly not trying to deflect the blame. Find that clip if you can and watch it. It tells you everything you need to know about this guy in terms of his courage, heart and determination on a football pitch.

Starts at 2 mins 5 second or so;

I see what you mean, what am embarrassment

Wrights at it again. What a hypocrite.

Wright is an idiot, he can't seem to make up his mind. Mind you it seems hip in the "famous" circle to back Wenger, Beckham was backing him on twitter earlier saying Arsenal fans are a disgrace for wanting him gone?!

I partly agree about the finishing. Campbell, Elneny, Welbeck, Giroud had good opportunities. But failing to defend a simple throw in and getting turning so easily is just criminal.

The defending was awful no question about it, all this talk about us being better defensively is nonsense, we've been poor this season, up front though we've been shocking.

I know Wellbeck is getting praise, but the guy missed an absolute sitter that would have got us a draw, our whole group of strikers just isn't good enough, when you need them the most they go missing, Walcott, Giroud, Wellbeck none of them good enough for a club like Arsenal, in times of need you need your players to turn up, yes Wellbeck got us a goal but that miss was criminal to be honest and just highlights the lack of quality we have up front.

Here's the miss, should have hit it 1st time, but even the 2nd time it was a simple goal:

Mertersacker blaming poor finishing for struggles (partly true but the defence has been poor too), what he maybe doesn't realise is he's actually blaming the manager indirectly, after all it was the manager who decided he didn't need a striker in the summer, low and behold we find ourselves in March and struggling to score goals, who could have predicted it?

If he was as consistent on the pitch as he is in the media talking about what we need to do then we'd be walking the league this season. Theo is the same, all talk...no substance.

I just hope that I live long enough to see the back of the donkey (AW). I have no clue what I will do when I read or hear about his departure. I will probably die out of happiness.

It's been the case for years though, players talking it up in the media and then embarrassing themselves on the pitch. We talk a good game, a very good game but there's nothing behind it and when it's time to turn and perform we go missing.

If it hadn't happened so often you'd put it down to lack of desire from the players, but this has happened so often that you can be sure it's a combination of a lack of desire and a manager who can't motivate players to perform, both the manager and players perform best in the media.

It's hard to see when we will see the back of him, noone at the club ever seems to question anything he does, he's always got their support, noone ever comes out to address the fans, like one guy said on AFTV don't just tell the fans to ask questions at the AGM where questions are pre-authorised before being allowed, come out and face the fans and answer their questions.

It's embarrassing that they refuse to answer questions they feel are too awkward for them. The damage Wenger has done to this club is unspeakable, there's so much wrong with it on so many levels it' embarrassing, it would be far easier to list what's right than what's wrong.

Lord knows the board has no cojones to do anything about him.. I am just hoping age catches up to him before anything else. He is 66 now, and these rich dudes usually stay healthy pretty long. So another 20 years may be. I'll be 51 then..

I haven't seen you this happy in ages.
