Pep the Muppet and Other Citeh Shit

[Olivier's xmas twist]

They've been strengthening the squad, we've been strengthening the balance sheet. It has paid of for them with a stronger team. It has paid of for our shareholders with nice fat pay-outs on zero investment. All depends what the priorities are. For the Arsenal shareholders the priority (in fact the only consideration) is themselves.

Yep the board all need to get out before the club will ever get better.

You forget we drew with Wolves as well, bad result for them no doubt but my point stands...they were way behind us a few years back, whereas we've been going backwards they've been doing the opposite.

Exactly. 10 man Wolves as well.

With the creativity ripped out of our midfield, all our defenders dead and RvP burned out after an unimaginably impressive run of form. We needed players like Walcott and Chamakh to step up. Where were they?

[Cripps_orig]

Excuses

Im sure Spuds have them as well for todays game.

No, not excuses. Read it again. We should have had enough even to contend with the misfortune of a ridiculous injury list. So I ask again, where were Walcott and Chamakh? The only possible excuse we could make here is these guys aren't good enough to cover when the main guys are out of the team or out of form.

Its a team game not the Walcott and Chamakh FC

But of course, picking on those 2 is a classic NQ trait to avoid facing the very real possibility that Spuds can finish above us and probably will but reach all you want. You'll realise it sooner or later. Il be here for you when it does cos ive accepted it so it wont piss me off as much when it does happen

What I'm doing is joining dots. You have rated both these guys yet you highlight our draw with Wolves. We all agree RvP can't score all the goals for the club. So who are next in line to do that job? Chamakh and Walcott. Gerv too, to a degree, but it's his first year. So if we want to beat Wolves rather than draw against their 10 men we need (as you say) the team to perform. That means the constituent parts need to perform too. What was our problem against Wolves? We couldn't score enough goals. So what should I say? Where was Mertesacker? Where was Chesney? It was goals we needed. So do you still rate these guys even though our fall off the pace has coincide with RvP's goals drying up? Do you still think this pair are the right solution to go on and compete with the teams currently above us?

wtf has them having 10 men got to do with anything, if spuds are better then us like we keep hearing they should have battered Wolves, not be happy because they drew with us silliest thing i heard.

Chamakh hardly plays. Theo is played out of position.

Next excuse?

But again, check carefully. I'm not the one making excuses or avoiding answering questions. Chamakh hardly plays? Why? Walcot plays all the time, what's his excuse? Walcott out of position? Really? Have you seen him in front of goal recently? So are you saying it's Wenger's fault these guys haven't delivered?
