Morning all.
The RvP story made me smile, poor old chap was lied to by Fergie. Our old captain was enticed away from Arsenal by The Utd manager because he was a winner and the old badger was assured that Fergie would remain at Utd for three years.
One season later, Fergie quit and RvP was left smarting. Especially when he found himself being managed by David Moyes.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t give a hoot but when I read the story but straight away I hoped that Arsene Wenger has done the same with Alexis Sanchez and Danny Welbeck….
The thought of our manager honouring his three year contract is quite worrying for me….
But it doesn’t matter what I or anyone else thinks about our manager, he’s made that quite clear:
These debates that I hear are a joke, a farce. People who have managed altogether zero games, they teach everybody how you should behave. It’s a farce.
If I really cared, do you think I would have survived for 18 years?
Perhaps that’s his problem. If he’d listen and take on board what others say sometimes, we’d not be in the situation we are in now. There are many wise people in the world of football both on and off of the television and a vast percentage are thinking, if not saying the same as Paul Merson. Not many pundits have managed a football team in their life but many have played the game at a very high level. They know the game inside out, not by teaching it but by being taught.
And to be honest, one doesn’t have to be a master tactician of the game to see we have glaring gaps in midfield and defence and as a team we look disorganised and vulnerable every time the opposition head towards our goal.
Regardless of the score you have to play the right way: you have to defend well and attack well. Why should you stop playing one aspect of the game?
No Arsene, not always. Sometimes you have to sit back, defend well and ensure you keep what you have on the board, not go bombing up the pitch in search of more goals only to be hit on the break and hit hard…..
Did he tear into the players on Tuesday night:
I didn’t criticise them, I rectified their mistakes.
It’s not exactly the same. I don’t tell them, ‘You’re absolute idiots’. I ask them ‘What should you have done there?
I wonder who raised their hand first to answer that question! As for rectifying the mistakes, this wasn’t a one off, this kind of shoddy stuff has been played out time and time again so clearly whatever Arsene Wenger is telling them, isn’t sinking in!
Swansea away today, a side who are quite strong at home. In fact only Southampton have won at the Liberty Stadium, a narrow 1-0. They’ll be up for this game that’s for sure and in front of their own fans they’ll want to impress. Last weekend they held a strong Everton side to goalless draw at Goodison which suggests it’ll be a tough afternoon for our striking force.
It could be a tough afternoon for the defence too with Wilfried Bony on a good run of scoring. Four in four matches I read but if we defend well and the midfield stop the supply to him, then he won’t be a problem. Corners and set-pieces, Merts needs to stick to him like glue and not let him get his head onto anything.
Fabianski is in their goal. Wenger should know his weaknesses, the players should do too, exploit them. Test him early and put him under pressure, otherwise he’ll settle and perform well.
Alexis Sanchez is on fire, he can’t stop scoring and hopefully that will continue today. It would be nice if a few others chipped in for a change, Danny Welbeck could do with finding the back of the net that’s for sure.
Arsene Wenger says he will improve our performances, well let’s hope that he and the players step up their game and that improvement starts today because if it doesn’t, we’ll get little or nothing from this match.
COYRRG’s…
That’s it for today, have a good Sunday….
I nearly missed that Lee… 😉
Thank you Scott… 🙂
I think that was a compliment from Scott there Rico! 😉
Potter, never mind, just know you are wanted here… 😉
Scott, in relation to what re City/Chavs?
New post is up now, so i’m off over there….
Thank goodness HH exists!!!!!!
Rico, plenty use the likes of Citeh and Chelski as examples when criticising Arsenal so again, it goes both ways.
Potter, Le Grove blocked me for abuse yet all I did was defend Wenger, copped more names than I know existed, but I was gone.
My point?
Well, Untold are certainly no more guilty, yet plenty here are happy to quote those pieces of shit at LG.
10.09 Lee.
Why do fans look to other clubs failures in attempt to justify our own? I have never understood that.
We are a huge cash rich club, a club with great history and reputation. We do things the right way and we have suffered through the financial limitations during our stadium move. We get all of that…
But this was or summer, a summer when we have millions in the bank, the summer where we could sign the right players to make us look prepared and ready to challenge, certainly domestically.
Stuff every other club and what they are doing wrong, what about what Arsenal and Arsene Wenger has done wrong.
Small squad, weak squad, under tall squad and one which has far too many average players in it, players who AW clearly doesn’t trust. Otherwise he’d rotate more.
Then on the pitch it’s truly gone belly up and we look like a Sunday league side…
Who cares about Big Sam, Pardew, LvG etc etc, what about Arsenal, what about Arsene Wenger!!
I have tried to post there 3 times since the Swansea match finished , I have not been rude to anyone , I have not sworn , all i have done is ask pertinent questions about the tactics employed and asked certain other posters to enlarge on their defence of their man and invited a debate. However none of them have been posted , so I assume that I am now on their blacklist. It’s a shame because some of their stuff on the PGMOL and UEFA and FIFA make for interesting reading. However what ever you do don’t touch Wenger or they just turn their backs and ignore you.
The AAA site!
They do, and poor Pedro is only a ‘media man, he doesn’t know anything about football’… lol
Couldn’t make it up could you….
Rico, they certainly have it in for “old” Pedro……lol
Made me laugh Bt.. They don’t like LG do they… lol
Wengers now thinks nobody can catch the chavs..
has he given up………………….will he now commit suicide.
…………………………….Only Joking.
MY LAST ONE ………..”I am not advocating we sack Wenger and I still say he is the best manager in the league but to start a season with that defence was criminal.”
“If you criticise Wenger then you are not an arsenal fan”……………FFS!
Thanks Walter. Your perspective helps. No use crying over spilt milk. This game is gone. The next game is just around the corner, and more of the guys will return from injury. We will hit our rhythm soon and go on a run. Today we lost and it’s so predictable that some will pick up their favourite line, ‘Wenger out’. But I find that so boring. Wenger messed up in his tactics and substitutions. So what? He’s not perfect, but then , who is? Look what’s happening to Man U. We are still a team in the process and we are not doing too badly. We’ll bounce back. I know will.
Rico, the last one i read, “my support of Arsenal and faith in Arsene Wenger will never be shaken.” says it all…..
Wenger says ‘we were not clinical enough’??
No, we were not disciplined, defensive or organised enough!!
Morning Fred…
There’s a great picture in the Mail – Bould looks absolutely furious after we conceded…
Just been having a read Bt, I see Dowd is at fault for not sending off Williams… 😉
Wonder if they saw Chambers shove early on…. lol
I Quote ” Mistakes have been made and lessons learnt…as happens every season”……LMFAO!!!!!!!
Lee, it’s Comedy Central…
Seems there are still quite a few walking round with paper bags over their heads Fred and supporting him no matter what…! Makes you actually wonder if they support Arsenal Football Club or just Wenger…?
Morning All,
What a S.A.D. sight for sore eyes poor old wengers looks,everyone in the world can see whats wrong.
We seem to be at the point where the football has become second to how much more bull-sh#t,
we can take from a man who has now lost even the most loyal of his fans.
Untold is fucking comedy gold……you’ve got to have a read! They must have a serious stash of Walter White’s gear…………….
Rico, there has been a few dissenters as well, but it makes laugh….
Potter, he doesn’t even do reactionary anymore… he sits there gormless….!
And he brings his match savers on in the 89th minute . The game is over before their second wind.
Bt, I must pop over there, need a laugh… 😉
Campbell is a mystery and what’s happened to Rosicky????
I’ve been reading Untold since yesterday, some Extensive Psychiatric Help required over there….
Sanogo has ability.
He’s nowhere near good enough for us, but MIGHT be someday.
Podolski is proven.
Yes I’m saying it again but I’m also shaking my head again.
He’ll probably tell you to stick to Aussie rules as well Scott…..!
The postman ain’t scored a competitive goal for Arsenal yet Poldi is left on the bench Campbell don’t even make the bench and he brings that lamp post on to save the game….!
Says it all.
You looking at me Lee…………….. Leave it…!
Really Scott, i would say signing him in the first place, tops it on it’s own.
Morning all…….
Sorry for asking, Wath 🙂
Honestly, that single act did more to harm my opinion of him than any other 100 he’s made.
It was simply unforgivable.
Morning Bt and Wath..
Yep, that’s about all AW will say….
Who are you looking at?
How dare you ask me Scott, have you ever managed a game in your life… who are you to ask me such a question… I have managed 2000 games don’t you know and if I pick Sanogo it is not up to you to ask me why… Now go away watch the tv and support my team and never question me again….!
Think that resolves that question…..
Me too Scott, me too!!
Scott, you’ll get the standard Arsene answer……
What a horrid day.
Up at 3 for kick off, and worked all day, so I’m running in two cylinders at present.
Of all the issues, all the criticism people have for the man and the strange things he’s done, I’d love to ask Arsene one question……why Sanogo????
I’ve stewed on it all day and there is not a single reason that is for the benefit of the team to use him Instead of Podolski.
Im still amazed at that call.
No more midgets please!!!
Morning Scott…
SS, because I was busy… 😉
Welcome and glad you like HH….
Morning all.
Have we signed anyone yet???
Wenger will probably sign a few more vertically challenged attacking players in January……
why is my comment awaiting moderation???
Me neither Lee, I’ve got to the point where I don’t even expect us to win.
Going forward we have a lot of really good players and at times that was clear to see but we still aren’t clinical in front of goal.
And as for the defending set-up, including the midfield players in that, we really are Sunday league..
Arsene has to do the right thing and soon, we cannot carry on like this….
hi all new to this forum
i like this forum pretty much cause the fans on here are realist
looking forward to having some good convos
The sad thing is I don’t even get any enjoyment watching this bunch of losers managed by one of the most annoying managers on the planet. I’m losing all respect I had for the bloke, he seems hell bent on tarnishing his early years! Still reeling at the fact he’s been paid £70m since we last won the PL…………. and if he lasts his contract (God forbid) it’ll be close to £100m!!!
Morning Rico,brudders and all.
Don’t think Mourinho needs Wenger’s view for him to know the PL is his..
Morning Lee and all…
Back of one of the tabloids wenger has told Mourinho that the title is his….like we were ever going to win it with Clouseau at the helm! Please just do one!
Still we’ve signed Brooklyn Beckham that should really help us out! The club is a fucking joke managed by a clueless clown!
That picture just says it all wath…. depressing but laughable.
http://redlondon.net/2014/11/09/picture-shocker-how-wenger-corrected-arsenal-squad-after-tuesday-before-swansea/
Question 1 :- Has he not mentioned it ?
Question 2 :- Are they too thick to understand ?
Question 3 :- Have they stopped listening to him ?
Question 4 :- Do they care ?
Answers on a post card please.
The general feeling from the fanbase Scott….?
When was the last time we were so low as a club????
Night Rico, sweet nightmares……….. 😀
U want a tutti fruity Micko…. ya loop fruit 😉
Bt, along those lines mate yep….! Bad press makes people in high places cringe…!
Night Rico….
Fruit loop….wind your neck in Wath !
I’m off for the day folks, sleep well….
Night all….
Wath…REVOLUTION!!!!
Wath, it’s frustration and Goonie… 😉
What is the ‘something’ though?
Andrew, I don’t remember saying he doesn’t deserve happiness, did I?
Not too many feel sorry for Wenger and often spout off using his salary as a reason to show no sympathy, so of it’s good for one………
100k a week for playing or managing a game?
Sorry if I seem hard in my lack of sympathy when they lose a game.
There are others earning a hell of a lot less that put in as well.
I don’t buy this idea that Sanchez is the only one having a crack.
Others do, they’re just not as good or in some cases, not good enough.
Sanchez is brilliant and a gem for us, but he is paying paid bloody well for what he does, so let’s not lose sight of that.
I think for what Wenger has done he deserves the respect of not being insulted or called nasty names BUT the time has now come that he must show us the respect that we deserve and he must get the fuck out of our club……!
The same fans spouting who is there to replace him are as scared of change as he is past it…. Is Wenger the future….? the answer is categorically NO……………. Anyone that answers yes is a certified fruit loop…!
There are many managers I think would organise the same players we have into a better unit. We lack balance leadership and fight yes we have many quality players so the leadership from the manager and staff is succinctly missing…!
time for change and it needs to happen soon…. Mass disorder is needed….! The fans need to get off their arses and do something it’s as simple as that.
🙂 ljb…
That 5th gen will be banned for daring to speak out .I was banned yonks ago so I used my other halves e mail and IP,but that Atwood would me up SO much by saying all those who want Wenger out are unemployed that I called him a despicable snob and blew it again .There’s a guy on there ,jon from wellington and I’m positive he is taking the piss and they haven’t cottoned on,tee hee.
Nickie, you and many of us… Sorry state of affairs….
Wavy, sorry I missed your earlier. I can’t believe what stuff comes out of his mouth these days…
Potter, spot on top to bottom clear out..
Ha ha Bt, I wouldn’t dare to… lol
It’s ok BT i’ve got xfactor results show to cheer me up…kill me now
well put potter..
I am good Ng..
I am just fed up with football..
Nickie, there is always, Jamesons….lol
Never been this disinterested in football my whole life and i’m football mad.
Rico, i was going to post on it….might do it yet….lol
The shareholders that sold us down the river didn’t care one jot . They got their cash from their inheritances and kept their places in the boardroom. Arsenal were just a bonus in their later life . Danny Fiszman sold and wanted Kroenke purely to keep Dein out of the club and did us a great disservice persuading Bracewell Smith to back him rather than go down the Usmanov route something she now regrets. I have no time for any of them. This club needs a new broom from top to bottom . It’s run like an Eton old boys club with a Baron Pierre de Coubertin, attitude .
Strangely after today’s match my son said there’s nothing new to say , we have said it all before. We walked home , not even visibly upset.
Another £25 million by the time he goes…
If he lasts…
That’s him Bt, need to go and poach him… 😉
Rico, he did I lifted the quote directly from the BBC web site.
His summary of the games, the players and the conditions are seriously bizarre lately. His behaviour in the dugout is inert, and his contribution to the “team” effort is nill. £8m a year? Not only is it obscene it is also tantamount to fraud, theft and deception!
Another wretched week until more of the same in two weeks! Blimey, I can’t wait!
70m and counting…
Since Arsenal last won the league Wenger has earnt £70m…..my heart bleeds for him!
Rico.5th Gen……He’s wasted over there..
There is one blogger on there who thinks we need a new manager… 😉
Lee, they suffer from Sand Blindness….
They’re fucking ill too Bt!
Scott, you can see that for Sanchez, winning is on his mind, he cares, money is secondary. Reports say he loves training, does not want recovery days, loves the game. Shame that can’t be said for some others. You don’t say that anyone rich doesn’t deserve happiness when they give their all. How many give 100% every game in our team?
You just got to love the folk on Untold Arsenal….lol
Hi Ng. I really don’t think we’ll get top 4 this season….
Hi Rico. I can’t agreed with you more. If we lived by example, all we’ve to do is look at his other franchises. When was the last time any of them won anything?
Come May we’ll fight for 4th and all will be forgiven.
They sold to the wrong man, idiots!
ljb, I guessed… lol
How are things T?
AW job is secured. When we start telling SK that 4th is not good enough for Arsenal, maybe, he might call AW aside and start serious talks with him.
This was not what those shareholders who sold their shares to SK had in mind.
AW:
“We were not in too much trouble, we had the best chances, it is a place that is always tight and it was a very tactical game.”
Tactics???
I meant twat!bloody auto .
Didn’t do very well rectifying those mistakes did he the arrogant old that.
AW signed them Ts… lol
So do I Andrew, and Welbeck and a few others…
Andrew,
I just asked a guy on FB why he’d feel sorry for a man earning 100k a week.
Sounds strange to me.
I feel sorry for Sanchez. He believed in Wenger over the summer.
Lol Rico.. AW indeed brought it on himself…
Most of the squad have any footballing brain… imo
Hi Ng
Sorry but I know of you must have seen this…
Terry Venables column: Arsenal need a complete change of mentality – it’s the only solution
It was another demoralising night for Arsenal on Tuesday and they have a big game at Swansea City today. I must say that I cannot see any chance of success for Arsenal until they have a complete change of mentality at the club.
LIVE: SWANSEA VS ARSENAL LATEST
This isn’t about quality – Arsenal have enough of that – it is about leadership and winning, it is about the serious grown-up side of the game. And Arsenal just cannot do it. They exude that bad vibe.
Teams at the very top level, where Arsenal aspire to be, they can score goals and they can play good football. But they can also keep the ball, finish the game off and not let their opponents back in. If you know what you’re doing, it should be game over. On Tuesday Arsenal were 3-0 up and yet they could not kill off the game. And they paid the price.
This is a long way from the old Arsenal era. Players like David Seaman, Tony Adams, Steve Bould and Nigel Winterburn, they knew how to kill off games. It didn’t have to be 2-0 or 3-0, because they could win the game at 1-0. That is the art. Like anything, you have got to get into good habits. Those Arsenal teams had a good habit of winning football matches. This one does not.
Arsenal’s injury list
I know what Seaman and Adams were like, their high standards and their absolute commitment to defending and winning. I remember being in England dressing-rooms, 90 minutes after the game had finished, when the other lads had changed and gone, and Adams and Seaman would still be there arguing about the details of a goal they had conceded.
The whole thing is about team ethic. You have to be prepared to run all day and all night. I am not interested in beautiful cameos. I am not interested in stars – they only come out at night. Football at the top level is a real, grown-up business. Good individuals have to be team players. If you just want to play football for fun, go and play it in the park.
Being tough doesn’t mean fouling. It means leading. Everyone knows that Arsenal have the quality. But those players have to lead from the front, stand up and be counted. They have to impose themselves on the start of games, show that they mean business in the first 20 minutes. If you have someone under the cosh you do not let them out of it. And then once ahead you see the game out from that.

Wavy, is that really what he said?
Deary me……
NG, he doesn’t care.
Profits are his only care, and if that is the attitude with the big man, it’s impossible to change that culture down the line.
🙂 Re Untold Lee…
Don’t forget Dowd didn’t give us a penalty either… lol
Scott. If he knew something about winning he would have asked questions long long time ago. None of his other teams are winners… So…
Wenger’s excuse:
“Football is down to performances. People can say what they want. We are here to produce performances, and didn’t do that right until the end of the game.”
What a drama queen!
But what the fuck does it mean?
You know dementia is a terrible, terrible affliction but I think our favourite Frenchman has got a dose of it! Will medicinal potion help, sadly not!
Every dog has its day and we, the caring humans take the afflicted pet to the vet to have them peacefully and painlessly put down. Whatt should happen to our petit ami?
I’ll leave you to decide, but my mind is made up!
Shameful…….again! How many more pathetic performances and disappointments are we going to have to suffer before the penny drops?
Hi Vonnie. Join the club…
I don’t Ts, he’s brought it all on himself…
Like everyone else has said, watching Chambers time and time again get beaten down the right, he did nothing… And totally agree, why the heck was Campbell not on the bench and when we need a goal, the guy who hasn’t scored one PL goal gets the nod over a German international.
Ridiculous…
NG, that’s where is start as well.
Lee, I have no explaination.
I can’t even dream up a reason Sanogo would come on.
🙂 Micko, you need a wordpress account.. lol
SK OUT. YOU KNOW NOTHING; ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT HOW TO BE A WINNER. YOUR OTHER FRANCHISES SPEAK VOLUME.
Scott, no Campbell near the squad, no Podolski brought on! No i’ll tell you what i’ll bring on a bloke that could trap a bag of sand and has the touch of a rapist! It’s fucking criminal what he is being allowed to get away with…..and nothing will be done!! I’m really over it……
You don’t know what you’re doing!!!!
Craig Bellamy makes a lot of sense for an on the field ‘thug’.
This team has regressed… even with the addition of Alexis..
typical 1 step forard 2 steps back illusion…
I feel sorry for my old friend Monsieur Wenger…
Sanogo coming on brings his sanity into question lol
Untold are running with the rain story, the angle it was falling from the sky etc!
i think he’s ill, i seriously do!
Another day in Arsene La,La Land…
Apparently it was something to do with the wrong type of rain…..that’s the reason why we were totally shit today!
They’ll be some social media posting from some of our over paid average footballers saying that we’ve learnt from our mistakes! Wasn’t this supposed to be an easy run of matches? 4 points from 9 Chelsea must be shitting themselves!!!
Wenger out!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahah I just Listened to his interview. What a dope. He needs to visit a psychiatrist. He’s so out of touch with reality.
Clueless totally fucking clueless!
Dublin, get to the back of the queue.
rico, I have to keep entering my details each time I post, you need to sort your act out as well lol.
Disgusted at that result, chambers getting skinned the warning signs where there… Bring bellerin on tell him to double up on the right side… tactics you old fool…
But sure he’s managed 2000 games and knows Everything, sitting there rocking back n forth fuckin daydreaming.
2000 game’s and still defensively weak tells me you’re a clueless idiot.
The bloke is so out of his depth it’s embarrassing, just watching him sitting there doing fuck all! Why not rectify Chambers getting his are handed to him? There are so many questions BUT we’ll just get the standard wenger responses! Your time is up please just fuck off you arrogant man.
Watching arsenal is bad for your health……
Anyone with elderly relatives knows that they get more stubborn the older they get.
He better pray I don’t run into him in a dark alley.
Ts, i welcome you with open arms….lol
evening, I can,t even post these days, because i truly don,t have anything good to say about Arsenal football club, The frustrating thing is, this defeat means absolutely nothing to Wenger and the board. He ,ll be allowed to continue on and spout more bullshit, That i don,t listen to anymore, Above all when will the AKB supporters, ever wake the fuck up. and stop dfending this man.
Hello Rico and everyone in the House today. I switched that off when the equaliser went in, because their winner was coming and Wenger was watching it all unravel without doing a thing, as usual. I wanted him gone three years ago and nothing has changed, he’s totally useless. Which brings me to Steve Bould, can anyone tell me what he actually does except collect his fat paycheck and say yes to Arsene Wenger?
I’m really starting to wish I never fell in love with Arsenal.
All the talent we have and this is the worst Arsenal ‘Team’ wenger has made.
excuses have run out…!
I must repeat the same words again….
Why chambers play at RB?
Why we have at the bench, repeeating players with equal characterits ?
Why AW didn’t organize the team after the 0-1?
Why he diidn’t see our midfield his broken?
Why we made the subs always too late and when we are in defeat?
Fixture conclusion: a) Chelsea will be the league champion (I say: in December, probably have more then 10 points then the others)
b) we must fight for the 4th place…
No need to apologise Judge… 😉
Insults Podolski yet again by bringing on Sanitary.
How many games have you managed, Scott?………That’s your response….lol
Andreh h I saw that statistics and I flinched. We not succeeded in beating a top half team this season. We haven’t. It’s outrageous.
I’d love to ask the man why the hell he brought Sanogo on.
If Wenger had any guts he would fall on his sword.He has so much power that he must take 100% of the blame. Really shitting on his own legacy
Couldn’t defend a sandwich, against a hungry child…….
And swansea leap-frog us !!!
They are above us in league now. We only beat bottom six teams. Says it all
Please leave Arsene. Take your while back room set up with you.
How long London gooners….how long. Am looking at you adam lee ak micko rocky ts….Am looking at you guys. How long?
Shit shit shit..
Sorry rico…
shocking….and imo someone’s head should answer this time.
we have a good team….yet it is mismanaged
What a crock of poo that was!!!
It’s so sad…really heart breaking watching the demise of my team.
The postman for the rescue
Hahahahahahhaha yaya sanogo…..
Here comes the postman…
Same shit..
After we scored a brilliant goal… Ramsey gave the ball away and the counter attack was on.. Gibbs commit a foul and they scored from the free kick..
After We shit in our pants and from the first cross yes you guessed it chambers got skinned again, their sub scores…
Can scezney make any decent save!? Sometimes I wonder
I’m not even upset
midgets in central defence Rico??????
what about that wall???? on the equalizer??? Cazorla was in its centre. beggars belief!!!
At 1-0 we were trying to play out through traffic from the back?
Why?
There is no reason whatsoever to do so.
Chambers is getting roasted by montero….
Am sorry angry I can’t even type right.
One nil up was time for substitutions. Great management again.
heck…..nearly 80 minutes and no subs???
Theo???
JAck?????
Podolski????
TR07????
Midgets in the centre of defence and that’s what happens!!
Montero had been running this kid raged all night yet the French coont sits on his flat gnarled ads and does nothing. He needs to go. Simple ad that.
What a fuckin joke we are… watch the idiot make reactionary substitutions now…
So shit.
Fuck Fuck Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He didn’t rectify a thing.
and again…….
Wenger out….He needs to go. No more excuse.
Shocking!!
Bloody heck!!
and we concede again.
FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There you go….
Let’s hope not Goonster..
Gosh am this close to shitting myself.
Same place as it was last season Scott… lol
we need to score another (and not Sanchez for heaven’s sake…..yes even if Rico manages to score) and keep it tight at the back.
Love Welbeck’s defensive work…
Rico he’s going to ruin him like he did senderos. He needs to come off. He’s on a yellow card plus monteto is having a field day with him.
Where is Aaron’s hat trick??????
Calm down Stan!
Take chambers off you twit….he’s getting skinned alive. He’s no right back you old french dickhead. God help me.
That was all welbeck. Great play
I swear I just saw Arsene out of his chair… 😉
GET IN!!!!
Shit………Sanchez again.
I wish it was another fecker
Top goal, well played Ox in all of that…
gooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllll
Start pinging the shots in Arsenal, ball could do anything in this weather…
🙂 Bt. He’ll be our saviour…. lol
Judge, good point re Chambers….
Is it sub time yet?
It’s not chambers fault that he is played every single game right and centre..
for his tender and inexperienced football life, he would struggle, any player would..
he is probably physically and mentally exhausted..
Blame the man who put him and the whole club in this dire situation
COYRGS
I see Sanago lumbering up…late delivery on the way….
How do Stan, nervy start to the 2nd half.
seems that we are getting a slight upper hand.
its nearing the legendary 60th minute….time for the subs. So no one wants to be subbed. thus they up their game.
Micko, perhaps Arsene Wenger will tell them from the sideline. Then again….
Hey micko
rico, I bet you have this team couldn’t tell you what day of the week it is.
Sorry Wath, for some reason you went into moderation….
Beggars belief eh…
🙂 Micko…
Confidence looks shot to bits…
I see all the whingers are out this afternoon, we got 1 shot on target for gawd’s sake !
What happened to santi?? He looks so poor I wanna cry. I think he needs a break from thr first team to find his form. Tr7 should start till santi regains his form. Can’t believe am looking at the same player.
ZZzzzzzzzz…..have they all had a big lunch.?….
Andrew, it’s not the best, we finished the half a little better.
You and me both re OC Goonster..
Crikey Merts got his head onto one of OUR corners… 😉
Oxlade chamberlain playing really well. ..the only player on the pitch to me.
Two very poor teams. What a spectacle.
I don’t think I ve ever seen flamini make an interception. For a dm he sucks.
Fabianski is playing well.
Imo, Chambers is a centre back. Bellerin should be our rb until Debuchy returns…
True Rico re Serge…
Lol Dev… I am slowly but surely beginning to concede you folks were right all along… 😉
I know folks on here like Chambers; I know he is young and all but I must admit after preseason he has had 2 or 3 good games only…
The kid is obviously not a rb but AW will persist whilst Bellerin loses his last bit of self belief left…
Dev you said it….These are full internationals. It’s the limp noodle on the sidelines that’s the main problem.
Don’t think Serge is fully match fit yet, same as Theo…
Chambers living dangerously…
Dear oh dear…
its not the team Ginge….its the tactics and mentality
I can assure you that Mourinho or Ancellotti or Guardiola will do wonders with the same team.
You and me both ts….you and me both.
I see Serge has dropped down the pecking order again..
Imo, he brings more to the team than Ox…
Well how amazing, our esteemed know it all manager says we switched off on Tuesday and were a little tired and fatigued and surprise surprise plays the same fucking team as Tuesday….
No Campbell on the bench yet the French postman is there, farcical…..
Dev. this team is a joke…
Fingers crossed we score the first goal but the way I see this game. the first goal might win the match…
I do not think I have lost as much interest in football since I ever got into football…
We can’t seem to keep the ball…
He does Rico, I would have expected Bould to have ironed that out of him but…
He does like to push and shove a bit too much Ts…
Wavy, the public services cuts are already deep you do not want AW taking over anywhere near no.10.lol
Looking shaky at the back again….Lord help us.
Surprise Dowd didn’t give that one…
ha ha Bt..
Chambers is a calamity imo…
Hi Rico.
we have the possession…..but they are more direct than us
Hi Devil…
Fabianski looks good in blue… 🙂
Good afternoon Great Guys and Sweet Birdies
we got 78% possession at the moment
we need to score 1 goal more than them
Nice bit of squad rotation then!!
COYRRG’s!!
Afternoon all,
🙂 Bt, very happy, not! lol
O2 O2B O2 B A GOOONERR!!!!
The line up? The some….
Seriously I ve lost all my verve for arsenal. Wenger has succeeded in killing my arsenal fire. All I feel right now is apathy. Game day?? What game?
Do you think he could successfully replace Milliband? If so we could judge him in May!!
COYRRGS
No chance bt….we ll be lucky with a draw. Swansea ll rip that defense to shreds.
Ts, we might have a chance then…..
Ts, head of THE IMF…..
Our old boy Kyle Bartley is starting for Swansea..
Havn’t seen the line up, Goonie,
I’m not in London….lol
Our esteemed leader flogging the same players to death again!
calm down Goonie…
AW will be nominated for the EU presidency soon…
Bt when I saw that line up I lost it. Seriously how long ll you London gooners sit idle and do nothing? This man is taking us all for a ride. God am so angry. How does he still have a job?? You London fans irk me. Lord God in heaven. Grrrr
Hahahahahahhaha the toots just can’t buy a win at the shithole. I must say the orcs look a handful. Bojan and moses ll stretch any defense.
afterrnoon all!
Waiting for the match
Fingers crosses
Rico, Chambers and Merts as our CB’s, Merts to move to left hand side, sends shivers down my spine….
Scum from the Drain 1 Orcs 2……
Afternoon all, everybody happy?…….lol
Only been a fan since the Terry Neill days and watched about 2000 Arsenal games but not a single day in football management still i am able to smell a fuck up when it happens.90 minutes he stood on the touchline and did nothing against Anderlecht so how about rectifing mistakes when your team is playing and not when you are answering a question you petulant child ,you are afterall paid 9 mil plus to serve up this rubbish.
Drats…..alright thanks maam.
In 2 hours and 45 mins Goonster…
When is the game rico?? Wanna dvr it. Have some folks coming out of town to see me. Thanks.
Thanks Judge…
Tsgh.. Wenger seems to have that effect on many… So did Sadam and Moselini.. lol
Forgive my typing. ..Brianna is being a poo poo head this morning. Lol
Pretty good my man….Arsene keeps pissing me off. It’s great to hear from you ts. Wondered if you a space alien kidnapped you or something. Lol
Judge- The ginger numpty of talkshite met Aw in Brazil and then got mesmerised by French-German Alsace… lol
Hey Goonie… how is the family doing?
**despise..
Great post rico,
Exactly what I feel about the state of affairs at arsenal right now..
It’s all been said already..
Wenger has become so arrogant and deluded it’s tragic..
I don’t like merson but he said it as it is.. Tactically clueless..
We may despite the likes of piers Morgan, Robson or the talkshite ginger bread, but in reality they all make valid criticism towards Wenger as many bloggers here do as well…
Some may admit all his faults and shortcomings, but still subconsciously worship him like God.. It’s like a cult…
Hope for a good performance and result today
Howdy ginge 😀
Afternoon Tsgh, thanks…..
I hope he has.. lol
Good afternoon Rico, Scott and fellow HHers…
Good read Rico…
Now why would Monsieur AW fib to Alexis? 😀 😀 😛
Oz long time Sir?
But they know what the game is about Adam…
Many of us here think Wenger is getting things wrong and criticise his tactics etc but none of us are giants of football management…
Merson etc just happen to have a voice which gets heard publicly…
Robson,, Merson and Hamann. Three giants of football management.
Change of heart Goonie, they can wait until tomorrow… 😉
First Robson,then Merson and Hamann they are slowly starting to realize The Emperor has got no clothes on.
Later rico
Goonie, the ruin starts before Arsene Wenger, Kroenke and the board have a lot to answer for.
But then we have been there many times…..
Calm down Stan….
Where’s ak I need his “calm down stan” look at my limbs trembling.
Rico you have no idea….I woke up feeling miserable only for me to come on here and read what le twat said. He just riled me to different level right now. Am so angry.
I may not have supported arsenal for more than 20 years but I ll bet we ve never seen a mode divisive manager than wenger. Most gooners I come across lately have developed a syndrome I dubbed “arsenal apathy. Most don’t give a fuck any more. Some of them have stopped watching altogether. It’s a shame. He’s ruining our beloved club.
You are in a grump this morning Goonie… 😉
He’s so stale he’s stinking up the whole place. I hit the mute button whenever he comes on air. I know what to expect hence don’t bother to listen. I can’t stand him rico. He’s lost all the respect I once had for him. The sooner he fucks off the better. What a fungus infected toe nail. Grrr
Morning Stan.
Morning Goonster…
Hiya rico..
Morning adam he’s got a very thick “whale” skin. Nothing gets through to that gnarled old twat. Listen to him saying if he cares what people think he won’t be here for 18 years. Who talks like that when his team just blew a 3 goal advantage??
Adam, I don’t think the media make it personal though…
Night Scott..
Oh Lord God help me. Somebody gag that old french goat. He’s so infuriating it’s beginning to stick in my craw. Scotty oz am sorry man but I have to agree with danish gooner. Wenger is an arrogant coont. God am so angry.
Morning guys….off to read the post.
Rico. I meant that the personal attacks and the press’s desire to humiliate him must hurt.
Rico, nobody has ever defended him for that move, or lack of it.
No excuse for that one.
I’m off guys.
If I CAN catch a decent kip, I’ll be up for the game.
3am Monday morning kick offs absolutely suck!!
Enjoy the victory, everyone 🙂
If watching us play so poorly hurts him, why does he allow it to continue?
Why not sign a Cdm back in the summer, why not sign a defender to replace Vermaelen?
Unless someone tells me he wasn’t given money to do so, then surely all that comes flying his way is brought on by himself…
Adam, I think the players get their fair share of stick…
For sure, Adam.
Some of the more personal insults have been an absolute disgrace, but I reckon he’d hate seeing Arsenal perform so poorly on the pitch, and then there is the media………
He’s copping it on all fronts, and is most definitely struggling for answers, which is a shame.
Scott. Regardless of what he earns, it must hurt him I would have thought.
I know Scott… 😉
And yes, Merts and Chambers in the middle hopefully…
Adam, no doubt he earns criticism, but gee, people don’t miss him lol.
Still, I concede at 8 million a year, his shoulders should be big enough to cope.
Perhaps you only find out how good a manager is when the going gets tough.
The players must surely shoulder some of the blame but Wenger gets most of the crap. Unfairly sometimes I think.
Rico, I never suggested he’s not arrogant, but that was not an arrogant comment at all.
Chambers with Merts in the middle??
Well he certainly won’t have rectified their mistakes Scott, like I said yesterday, Tuesdays horror show was not the first time we have seen us collapse…
But I certainly hope we see a much more organised performance today…
He is arrogant Scott..
Ban his name on here for a week, jeez, I’ll have to close the site and the comments section… 😉
Rico, I’d bet a years salary he meant he’s addressed their mistakes…..
He is French, after all lol
I’m not saying the team and manager don’t deserve criticism, but our fans help nothing with their constant whinging and negativity. I know we have had a tough time over the last few years, but we have a lot to be proud of in that team. If everyone got together behind them it might give them the extra percent of mentality they clearly require. Stop moaning all the time basically
Why is it we spend so much time discussing our manager?
Most are adamant he has total control, and is a control freak, egotistical and, as Danish just suggested, arrogant.
Blogs, forums, facebook pages all whinge about him! yet spend more time discussing him than the entire club.
Let’s ban his name for a week 🙂
Morning Scott/Danish..
We’ll see today if he’s rectified anything, or if indeed the players have…
Seriously, WTF is arrogant about that, Danish??
Abuse and criticise all you like, but why make shit up?
He answered a question, and you’ve twisted it to make something out of nothing.
“I rectified their mistakes” it must be the worst and most arrogant comment i have ever heard a manager speak.What a twat,he really is starting to rile me every time he speaks.OMG he is so arrogant it has gone to his head,he is worse then Maureen and that takes a lot.
Morning all.
Strong win is required today.
As long as we work hard and EVERY player accepts defensive responsibility, we will win.
OMG what are terrible self important and arrogant Geezer this Wenger have turned out to be,no Wonder we never Progress with that kind of man in the driving seat.
He does these days Jeff, he’s quite predicable and boring….
Wenger talks more nonsense than anyone in football, this dig at his critics as being people who have never managed a day in football is pathetic. He never played the game at the highest level himself, along with some other managers, but this doesn’t mean that they can’t coach players who do do. Anyone can see that he neglected to sign another centre back last summer and that his midfield is too weak physically and his tactics are one dimensional. He gets away with these deficiencies, against lower class opponents, but always comes up short against the top sides. This is the reason why he has never won anything in Europe and never will do. You don’t need to be an ex-football manager to be able to work that out.
