I did say that Pathletico were not that good, but being second in La Liga sticks in people's minds, can we get the plane up with the message fuck off wonga....xisstential wrote: ↑Thu May 03, 2018 9:19 pmHe couldn't win in Europe with one of the best teams assembled at AFC, he wasn't going to do it with one of the worst. His team, his players, his coaching staff, his wage structure...and he failed...AGAIN!!
Athletico are not all that either....if they were in the PL they would be between 6 -8th I would imagine. They defend very well, but who doesn't compared to us?
Oh well there's still the "Thank You" plane & Sunday's jamboree to look forward to

Re: AtHletico MaHdrid in SemHi FinHal
Think a few people are being harsh on Ramsey - he slotted two players in on goal with great passes and was all over the pitch first half.
Pretty poor second half but who wasn’t.

Keown absolutely tearing ozil apart - I have never heard a pundit go that hard on a player, but on this occasion I agree 100% with him

Re: AtHletico MaHdrid in SemHi FinHal
He really is a Rolls Royce player that we can't afford to carry. I'd have rather seen Miki on for him because he was really poor. He is renowned for his vision and passing, but tonight, both abilities vanished.
I was really surprised that we gave him that renewal, however, maybe under a new manager, like most of this team, he can perform.

Keown is ridiculous. Ozil is an expensive luxury, always has been he jots up his assists against average opposition. He is the very opposite of a big game player, always has been/ I hope we get rid of him, but to take him to task for failing against probably the best defensive side in Europe is nonsense. There are five words while we failed tonight: Arsene Wenger and Stan Kroenke.

Salzburg robbed 115th min non corner. .......oh ........ who cares!,
Re: AtHletico MaHdrid in SemHi FinHal
To be fair, this team is a good team, but not many of them are massively creative going forward and not many know where to be without the ball in certain situations, so they rely on last ditch defending. I think that I would probably ship out Mustafi and if there were any takers, I would also consider Ozil. I am sure that someone in China would want to buy him. Probably no one in Europe though that would pay the dough that we are paying him.clockender1 wrote: ↑Thu May 03, 2018 9:32 pmchambers, holding, Lacazette, PEA, Ramsay I'd all keep.Henry Norris 1913 wrote: ↑Thu May 03, 2018 9:17 pmcan't think of any players worth keeping anymore, i've never felt this before as an Arsenal fan. club has been left in a mess by such a complacent, arrogant manager and total hands-off approach from board level
I have to say the Bellend to Juve rumour for £50 million would seriously tempt me.

Long time no post!
End of an era at last. At least this tie has stirred enough passion in me to be genuinely gutted that we lost and made me want to vent. Hasn’t happened in a while.
We seriously lack pace and athleticism. We’ve gone from Veira and Petit to watching Jack Wilshere plod around like he’s just smoked a pack of 50 and being unable to even stay in the same postcode as Costa when ‘tracking’ one of his runs.
Fullbacks atrocious and arguably the most shambolic failure of Wenger’s coaching, much more so than CBs imo. We’ve sacrificed so much to play them as virtual wingers and yet name me one in the latter day Wenger years who can even cross a fucking football. Jenkinson was probably the best!!! Fucking shambles.
Biggest game of the season and we don’t play our best goalkeeper. Enough said.
If I hear any more Arsenal fans say we’ve got great players I think I’ll scream. We’ve got a few good players but a terrible balance to the side. We’re good for knocking it around at home to West Ham and not much else.
The new manager is going to find he’s got a very overpaid squad of snowflakes to work with. I’m not holding my breath for a quick turnaround

No that is a fcuking cop out - the two c.unts were not the ones that couldnt cross the ball or couldnt pass to a team-mate or couldnt make any runs
The part that keown (dickhea.d) said that will sting ozil most, is that he bets that ozil wont play another game this season cos he will have another mysterious illness

Welcome back - I hope that many of the other members that have drifted away now return as we start a new era without the french c.unt
