Match Reaction vs Liverpool (home).

I hate what he does. I think it would be hard to hate him if you met him face to face. He seems like an amiable guy, on the surface anyway. Buy he's a complete idiot of a football manager.

Yeah on the face of it, but that's all we have to go for, he might be a top lad down the pub

I hate him as a football manager. Absolute fraud. Guy embodies the decline of the club being sold out.

To be honest i am not even sure what it is, i think it hails back to watching someone of his video blogs and finding it laughable how inarticulate he was. I did insult him on twitter by stating that he should buy himself a thesaurus before his next video and he replied making a comment about not going on the internet without my mum's permission which is a bit of a poor comeback but certainly nothing i was offended by.

The guy always seems to be around when trouble kicks off and there is fisticuffs, and he strikes me as one of those people who probably ends up in punch ups with other arsenal fans.

But my point is still valid, it seems ridiculous to insult other people for not taking a stand when you are still going to games.....but i get the impression in part from today's interview he gave that he'd be quite happy to make his point by rioting.

I think in fairness he brings out my inner snob

To be fair i think they are all a waste of space on Arsenal Fan TV, I have occasionally spoken to Moh on Twitter (although never debated Arsenal, he's a massive Corbyn fan and i can't abide the guy although i feel i can better articulate this than i can my antipathy towards DT) but really as i said the other day they are all a cross between police academy and the muppets. The only one i really don't mind is Bully who unlike the others does not take himself too seriously, Robbie is a clear agent provocateur who subliminally goads these guys for online ratings...nothing wrong with that per se either.

AFTV is just a never ending stream of mongs desperate to babble on about how angry and outraged they are, but no-one gives a fuck at the end of the day. Robbie certainty doesn't. Like any social/media channel it's dictated by ego. Everyone's a snob to a certain degree, everyone looks down on someone else at some point, no harm in admitting that. Much better to do that than hide behind some man of the people schtick.

Pretty much how I feel too, as a football manager I can't stand him and think he's a complete fool (as a person I'm sure he'd be perfectly likeable), today's result was really predictable, the only one who couldn't see it was the man supposedly in charge, who would have thought that playing 2 inexperienced kids in CD would lead to a defeat?

As someone has said he has a cheek talking about value for money when he's paid a small fortune to deliver a sub standard product, by his rules he'd have been chopped quite a while ago for being too expensive.

His interview today (as usual) was an absolute joke, he had the audacity to praise our spirit for coming back to 4-3, ignoring the fact would have never been 4-1 down in the 1st place had he done his job properly in the summer, coming back to 4-3 is entirely meaningless and shows nothing.

In football terms he's a first class loser who prioritises finances and financial gain over pleasing the fans.

He really rubs you the wrong way. You're usually pretty poised but it gets a bit nasty when it comes to DT. But I get what you mean. Rival clubs are getting a kick out of watching the meltdowns. That can't be a good thing. They need to have one week where they just boycott a game. Get the message out to silver and red remembers to avoid certain games. Once every month, just boycott a game until it gets bigger and bigger.

Wenger rolling out the flimsy excuses about not being ready.

What a loser.

Wenger rolling out the flimsy excuses about not being ready.

What a loser.

The thing is, if you go back to the comments after the City friendly, he said we're looking fitter and 'sharp'

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

To be fair I think what wound me up more was not so much his rant but the way on here reacted to it like it was the Gettysburg address

But also this is social media, being polemic is fun.

As an aside have a Liverpool fan in my office who sits opposite me and the football hasn't even been mentioned, been talking about the Olympics. Not even that worried if it moves onto football, even though I could very easily point out that I've been to Anfield more times than he has.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

addendum - we've spoken about it now. I think he was pretty unimpressed with Liverpool's defending and seems more of the view that yesterday's result was poor Arsenal preparation rather than Liverpool doing anything that special (Coutinho first half goal aside).

[Niall_Quinn]

Yes, Wenger's excuses are extraordinary - even by his lame standards.

Speaking last Sunday after their friendly win over Manchester City in Gothenburg, Wenger said: ‘I feel we could see we played together for a while, physically we look ready.’

But the Arsenal boss changed his mind after watching his team lose for the third time in four opening-day matches, saying: ‘We are not ready physically. You are in a catch-22 situation with the Euros — whether you give the players a rest who need it.

‘They are not ready to play this sort of game and get injured, like Ramsey, or you give them a rest and not have them for the start.

Why hasn't he been sacked? It's just incredible. He's openly admitting to incompetence here, but everyone at the club and in the media still treat him as if he's competent and even sane. Plainly he's not.

Saw it in The Metro this morning (mercifully buried under some updates on proper sport a.k.a the Olympics).
It's a poor excuse. We are not the only club who had players in the Euros.
