so what excuse di wneger use this time
We were 4-0 up at newcastle and managed to draw 4-4. You can never understimate the team's ability to do a spectacular collapse. There is little team spirit, morale or leadership. It's nothing new.
When it comes down to it a Gervinho/Van Persie chance cannot excuse the poor defensive organisation that has been a problem for YEARS, the lack of balls and the lack of clinically finishing games off when we are dominating.
I'm with you, honestly. I genuinely thought (being a glass half-empty sort of guy) that after the Invincibles season, things could only get worse. It would test my intestinal fortitude as a fan to see how I get through the "thin", so to speak.
You say football is about the ups and downs- our football is now so damned predictable. We're losing the games we're expected to lose (with aplomb) and we're dropping points where it's half-expected, too. There is no rabbit-out-of-the-hat result, nothing that makes the critics think "boy, this Arsenal team have still got something to say about themselves". We're in London now in the EPL right the way until mid-November, that's 6 games. There is NOTHING, absolutely nothing to have me believe that this bunch of misfits with their Accountant with BA Hons manager can go to both Stamford Bridge and WHL and get a grand total of 6 points.
If I was frequently coming across ManUre, Liverpool, Spurs and Chelsea fans at work, I'd have given up on football a long time ago. The sheer horror of it all is too much at the Arsenal.

*******: "It was a difficult game against physical opposition. We lacked a little bit of sharpness you know, also the weather made it difficult for us to play our football. I believe the 3rd goal was offside and that made all the difference. I don't think we have a defensive problem because most of the goals were freak goals that will never happen again. I believe my squad have an extraordinary mental strength and togetherness, and we'll bounce back from this result. Koscielny is down after that result but he's a great defender who was a little bit unlucky today."
lol at all the people berating gervinho, who was one of our better performers today (and by far our best winger atm).
when we score 3 goals and still lose maybe you should be looking at players in other positions to berate.
was pretty excited by the santos signing but he looked pretty awful today, slow, gave the ball away a lot and doesn't stay in line with the rest of the backline. will give him a few more games before i write him off though.
our own goals were depressing, the commentators saying 'aw there's nothing he can do about that' is rubbish, he could actually anticipate the fucking ball and not just stand there like a lemon! we have such a losers mentality.
hopefully, if wenger himself doesn't leave, he will get some extra coaches to sort out our horrific defence, because it seems like wenger doesn't have a clue.
