Match Reaction vs Mongs

[Xhaka Can’t]

It would be nice to think that Bergkamps recent visit, coupled with the statue, has something to do with a succession plan at the end of the season. He has been around top clubs all his career, has been schooled the Ajax way, and knows how to win things. Unproven as a manager, but worth a shout, and keeps the top job within the Arsenal family.

Bergkamp is my favourite player of all time. But if he can't make it to half of our European fixtures, he is not a realistic option.

Thing is, Quinny, when you've travelled that far, paid that much and been subjected to abject sh!t, then emotions will run high.

The morning after the night before, the crying seems absurd but in the immediate aftermath, you just want to punch someone. (Preferably Crouch)

I reckon Liverpool will do them. Man u are shit, they have a shit record in the big games and are shit at home.

I must have mellowed bit this all comes across as people taking it way too seriously. I remember crying when Brooking fell over and the ball hit his head and went in the net. But I was a kid.

I still hate West Ham more than all others because of that, pass the tissues

[footloose, the wanderer]

Wenger must not be given a new contract, period! We lost not because we don't have players but they were told not play the winning ways.

What absolute cobblers

Not if we fail to get into Europe oh hold on

Wilshere is so overrated. He offers very little bar drawing the odd foul. He has no pace and gets knocked off the ball to easy. I dont really know what he offers. Ramsey cant come back quick enough. Badly missing walcott. Id play ox on the wing to offer abit of pace as we are so one dimensional at present.

4th at best though if spurs beat us we will only be 3 ahead of them. They are shit away from home too so we are lucky in that regard and they will drop points.

[AFC Leveller]

I think Jack clearly has talent but his performance have bene inconsistant and really frustrating. He gets barged out of the way and against the big sides this season, hes been one of our worst players.

[Power n Glory]

That makes me sad. People have lost faith quickly and it's all so predictable. We should have bought in January but I also have no idea why we didn't turn up today. Wenger gave the players a two day rest!

[Munchies]

Wenger had to strengthen the team properly last summer. Failing that we had to push on by making 2-3 signings in January. This was our best chance at the league in 6 years (07/08) . If we don't win it this season, which I think is out of reach now given the games to go, it's going to be even harder next season.

It's massively disappointing when the whole core of the team is there but we aren't making attempts to improve it. Same shit happens every fucking summer, you could go back to the old GW board and see the same topics made. Wenger isn't able to see where the team needs improving. All that money which is just sitting there in the club, what's the use ? Don't the club realise, if you invest money properly in the team, it'd make you more competitive = more likely to win trophies = more sponsorships/income generated. As Arsenal fans, we're not expecting the club to go out, spend a truckload and get into debt, we're just asking for investment into the club with the funds which are already there. There's none of it. Highest ticket prices in the whole league and an increase in prices next season .

We only really needed a top striker, a fast CDM, and a proper winger on the left hand side.

We end up playing Cazorla on the left, and he's a class player but he's not a winger. He gets wasted out there. Podolski hasn't cut it whenever he has played so he's probably off in the summer. In terms of Ozil playing, he has Giroud in front of him who's far too slow and offers literally no movement at all, not to mention he's pretty shit at everything a striker has to be somewhat decent at. Walcott/Ox on the right hand side is pretty good as there is pace there, but then it becomes easy to defend against when it's the only outlet we have down one side. At Real, he had Di Maria,Ronaldo,Benzema all running wild, so it's not hard to see why he's finding it difficult here.

Don't expect the upcoming summer transfer window to be any different, he'll be watching the world cup with Canal+ earning millions more as a pundit, so he'll use that as an excuse to signing Fukin NoOne , and complain about inflated prices yet again. Fuck sake. No trophies this year, then he needs to go. Don't want him to oversee another transfer window here.

He's the new old Ramsay. Indeed, if he's static when the ball comes to him anyone over 2 foot tall "knocks" him off the ball. Bored of Wenger "saving" players, get some squad depth or maybe start your best team bang 3 in* THEN "rest" them.

*yes I know that's never been our approach
