Match Reaction vs Newcastle (away).

[Power n Glory]

I don't think anyone is being overly harsh on Jenkinson. I haven't many crazy comments. It's Bendy that's getting undue stick. He's not total garbage it's just his attitude and what's gone on with what he's said about the club.

There's a reason it's widely regarded as the worst Arsenal forum on the web.

Well, it would be if anyone knew about it.

really?

Bendtner has always been shit though.

[fakeyank]

Spot on.

I really don't understand the point of some things that get debated on here at times

Did you catch the debate about whether we are signing Reus or Diego Costa?

[BOBN]

This is a completely nothing debate from people who are desperate to find something to moan about now we're top of the league.
It's going into injury time in a game which we need to win to go top of the league. We're under pressure, the first priority is to run down the clock, keep a clean sheet, win the game. A second goal would have been nice and settled nerves but the first priority is what we have, we hold.

The very people moaning about this were moaning about how naive we were to push for a winner against Dortmund when we got caught then. Jenkinson was way up the field, if he'd taken it quickly and it had gone wrong he'd have been out of position. He was facing away from Bendtner when he was screaming for it, soon as he realised he looked to throw it to him but the moment had gone.

I know this is an Arsenal messageboard but do we really need to over-analyze every decision. We won the game, we're top of the league. Cheer up FFS!

To refuse to take on the clearest goal scoring opportunity you can ever hope for in favour of spoiling....What a despicable way to win the league

The very people saying it was the the right thing to do will be the first to wank themselves silly about Arsenal winning it "the right way" if we somehow manage to finish top.

Jenkinson had better publicly apologize to Bendtner and the fans for that. It's not acceptable.







I agree.

And the very people saying it was the wrong thing to do would be the first to moan if we went too gung-ho, did something silly and failed to protect a 1-0 need to get a very important away win. Arsenal are not in general, "1-0 to the Arsenal" any more but one thing we have failed to do over the last few years is hang on to leads. We've made too many silly defensive mistakes which have cost us points and cost us trophies. If we've learnt some lessons about that and are doing that better then great. I wouldn't want us to be boring boring Arsenal again but sometimes you need to shut up shop and protect a lead in a tight game. You don't just win titles with a "you score 3, we'll score 4" attitude.

[Power n Glory]

You were ‘moaning’ about the defensive subs yourself and I guess the Jenkinson incident just epitomises the way we totally abandoned our attacking play and invited pressure on ourselves. It would have only been Bendy and maybe one other Arsenal player making a run to go for goal so it wouldn’t have effected our defensive shape at all. Again, main crux of the issue, if we’re going to try and see out a 1 nil victory, it makes sense to at least leave a player on for counter attacking moments like that. Theo would have been perfect. It’s a much better plan B if implemented right.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Jenks had his back to the pitch when the ball went out of play, he didn't know bendtner was in the middle. Why is it so hard for people to grasp.

He did nothing wrong ffs.

This is pathetic, anyone would think he cost us the game.

Yes going all out defensive wasn't great to watch, and I would have preferred to see Theo stay on and poldi join him but at least for once, wenger had a plan and got the points.

As letters says, we've always been criticised for years about how we keep on attacking till the end when we don't need to and end up dropping points. Now wengers doin something about it people don't like it.
You can't have it all.

Is there nothing else to talk about apart from this pointless shit?!?

[Power n Glory]

No one has gun to your head. You know you don’t have to take part if it’s pointless. Calm down, dude.

You seem to be getting things mixed up. This isn’t an attack on Jenkinson. Also, this isn’t anything new from Wenger. We had a Spurs game where we drew 4-4 because we went too defensive with the subs and it just invited pressure and we conceded in injury time. Thankfully, we have a much better defence and we’re more organised. We can easily combine that into a sucker punch as teams have done the same to us.
