Match Reaction Arsenal 0-0 Anti-Football Scum

[Niall_Quinn]

Would people swap the football they witnessed in Wenger's earlier years with Graham's football and winning the title ever since? I mean every single title and throw every cup in too. And every CL, Charity Shield, basically everything? Would you swap it? How about half the titles? Would you swap then? A quarter of them? At what point would you swap?

Isn't the only thing saving football from the likes of the chavs, gypos, Bayern, Barca and Marketing the chance they can still be beaten to a title or a cup by a less money focused team? Rarely, but it's still possible. Take the infinite money cheat to its final conclusion (as advocated by Martin Samuel), switch off FFP and give Maureen the Messis and Ronaldos and the next 20 best in the world. Then add in his tactics and special appreciation for the game. What do you have left? Domination, but in what form and at what cost?

It's only the teams who aren't the chavs managed by managers who aren't Maureen that keep this game in any way interesting and therefore alive. The logical conclusion of Maureen is the death of the game. Almost worth it if it would also mean the death of the media pundits who are like turkeys singing Christmas carols every time they applaud the wretch.

I don't necessarily blame them for yesterday as they were away from home against a top four side. We were lavishing Wenger for taking a less extreme approach against City away earlier in the season. In isolated incidents it's an acceptable method to play for a top side.

But the difference is that they've been doing it week in week out since the winter, even in the home games. Last week they only had 30% of the possession at home against Utd ..... deliberately and they only created one chance all game. That's just fucking pathetic. It'd be absolutely abject to watch that turgid shit week in week out but then again as Moh said, Chelsea are a small club with a small team mentality. That would never be acceptable at a Barca, RM or even here.

What I find more egregious though is the media obsession with Mourinho and how easily they'll bend over to accept his cock. I mean for example his comment in reply to being questioned about the "boring boring Chelsea" chants about not winning a title for so long being boring instead is patently ridicoulous. So unless you win the title you just give up on football? Most teams don't get to win the league ever including a certain Chelsea who went 50 years without winning before the Russian showed up. Yet no one calls him out on that shit.

The latest Tuesday Club was released last night and Alan Davies nails it regarding him and our media's sycophantic behaviour. It's clear our fans and Wenger gets to him given how bitey and personal he gets in his attacks, something you'd never seem from Wenger. But no, instead of the cunts reporting on how flustered Mourinho gets when questioned it's all "Mourinho does Wenger again with a funny". Cunts.

I wish some player/manager would have the balls to confront these absolute hacks on this.

Cesc sub



legend lol

others clapping

Funniest thing about this was the commentator saying "I think Cesc has won the crowd round" just as it panned to this shot

Whats get to me is not the fact that Chelsea sits deep and waits to hit on the counter; its the fact that they seem to have all the fucking luck in the world. Think about the Utd game and if Rooney's shot didnt hit the post in the early part of the game, what would have happened? Ditto for our chance at the end of the game when Monreal crossed the ball and Ozil kicked air and Welbeck lost his footing... Think about their whole freaking CL winning campaign!!!

How on earth are they buying luck too?!!? You can bet your bottom dollar that if any of these chances fell to Chelsea, they would have buried the chance. They really are the devils team. I have said it before and I'll say it again.. I despise them more than Spurs any day of the week!

[Letters]

As a club I don't have a huge problem with Spurs. They're more to be pitied than scorned.
Chelsea are the axis of evil, all by themselves

[Maestro]

It's time to stop moaning about Chelsea's style of play and just beat the shit out of them. It's really annoying that we have this discussion every season but have yet to beat them. Just makes us seem more sour. If we'd beat the shit out of them constantly and mocked the shit out of their style after, it would be so much sweeter and valid!

End of! Great post, we need to look at what we're doing about it ........so far nothing but just coming across as bitter. There's only one way to deal with this and that's to beat them. Failed in 13 matches, the fuckin joke's on us!

Never ceases to amaze me how clued up you lot are on everything coming out of the media. I still don't even know what Henry said!

In the age of Social Media and twitter, things travel fast. Surprised you haven't heard his comments by now Blink; they've become a big news item by themselves.

As for the Henry comments, I thoroughly disagree with them. Giroud's stats are no worse than Costa's who's about to win the league with the Rent-Boy's ...... we can win a league with him up top, especially if you have top quality around him as we currently do. Bayern fucking won the treble with Mandzukic who's worse than Giroud imo. We may not perpetually dominate Europe but a league is certainly possible ..... I mean it's not been because of Giroud that we've failed this year, our problems have mainly been at the other end. That being said, if an upgrade is possible and available then we should certainly be open to getting him in and I think Giroud is the type of guy who would welcome competition. However when it comes to getting world class striker's in, it's not a matter of shopping at Tesco's and picking something of the shelf to use a common Wenger analogy.

Unfortunately for Thierry, he's part of the pundit class now and after receiving some public criticism of his punditery recently (article in the guardian) which tbh objectively hasn't been that great, he's probably been told by the Sky producers to ramp it up and start being more controversial which he's done here. It shouldn't detract from his legend status at the club and any so call fan using it to slag him of personally (there have been some prats on twitter) need to fuck off.
