Put is within 2 points I believe. Since then:

Arsenal P 6
W 2 D 2 L 2 = 8 points

Leicester P 7
W 6 D 1 L 0 = 19 points
Ah, halcyon days. :banghead:
My god, was that seriously posted after we beat 10 men Leicester 2-1 ??

Do any other teams go in for these self congratulatory pictures when they've achieved fuck all? How small time is that - truly cringeworthy

Can you imagine how our vaginas would react to conceding a last second winner to a title rival? Complete capitulation for the rest of the season. Fucking born losers like their piece of shit loser manager.

Remember the run we went on after we comically threw away the Hokey-Cokey cup against Brum?

The personnel change but the one constant is Professor Bumeyes.

I remember it very well because we beat the mighty Leyton Orient only a few days later, and Wenger made some comment praising our mental strength and saying how it looked like the game against Birmingham had been 3 years ago rather than 3 days ago. Lord Bendtner - the epitome of the Wenger era - notched a hattrick too I think !

Can't recall all the results that followed or be bothered to look them up but I'm pretty sure that apart from beating Blackpool who were in freefall and heading out of the PL, we lost or drew every fucking match for about 8 weeks.

But then most AKBs thought that would be the Summer he would definitely spend BIG......roll the clock forward 5 years later, and I wonder who'll be signing for us this Summer. It certainly won't be a world class striker, a beast of a CDM or a CB.....and quite frankly if it isn't all of those 3 positions, then I hope he spends nothing because everything else will be a complete and utter waste of time and money

can you blame our players for having such a cavalier attitude?! this is the same club that posted that video on their official twitter, with a video of ramsey's "sensational flick" against west ham yesterday. I mean....what the actual fuck? we're celebrating a fucking flick :roll:

we're the club equivalent of that chav at shool in year ten who shows up in brand new fucking umbro's and has that dickish shiny earing and twatty haircut, and thinks he's ronaldinho and can do every skill in the book, one hundred keepy uppies and a rabona and what have you but come down to it he doesn't have the temerity or aptitude to do anything useful on an XI a side pitch with other players and gets shoved all over the place. :oops:

Think we won something like 2 out of 11 PL games.

Not dissimilar runs to other years where we have been in with a shout come Jan/Feb.

That was a dismal run. Just 2 wins in 11 league games and 21 points dropped. The Old Fraud should have been sacked for that, let alone being allowed the opportunity to be in charge for the 8-2 and the dismal start to that season and the following one.

Almost five years later and it's still the same gutless shite :banghead:

C'mon palace - never thought that I would ever want a pardew managed side to beat us, but that is where I now find myself :( Displaying the banners at away games is excellent work, but the reality is that we need to lose/capitulate in our home games to spark the massive backlash needed to turn the heat up on le cock :evil: Our north Korean empire will be on red alert for any anti wenker banners in the grove, so we will need a seriously verbal backlash to maintain the campaign to get rid of the senile p.rick 8)

Of course, whilst I am hoping for an absolute thrashing, I am actually expecting a comfortable 3-0 or 3-1 victory against a palace team that has been shit for months and who wont give a f.uck about the league now that their safety is secured :roll:

It goes without saying that I am expecting all the usual "I could never want Arsenal to lose a game" bullshit remarks from the super fans amongst us ( :roll: :oops: ), but the truth is that I would gladly accept 5-0 defeats in all of our remaining games if it got rid of this arrogant French w.anker :twisted:

I usually find it difficult to ever want us to lose, but in this instance, wanting us to win seems pointless. Nearly every poster on here, talks about how pointless us being in the CL is, and detests how the club present it as an achievement, yet many will want us to win this game, knowing that its only purpose is to 'achieve' a top 4 finish.

Piers Morgan should be the spokesperson for the Arsenal fans. His comments on talksport were spot on.

One thing I will add, is Wenger's presence creates a toxic atmosphere. Arsenal fans dont trust him, so following any poor result, we get extremely suspicious it may be the beginning of a horror run, so we let our emotions show which really does create negative energy. The only way that toxic atmosphere could be flushed, was if we won the league, however thats not happening, so the only other way that toxic atmosphere can be flushed, is if Wenger is no longer is manager. So when he says 'he is the best man for the job', he is flat out lying, as his presence alone is controversial. Whenever I hear him say 'im the best man for the job', its a lie, and he wants to stay for his own reasons, rather than the benefit of the club.

If he really loves the club, he should walk.

I noticed Cech, our one true 'winner' in the team, wasn't in the above picture.

Probably sat in the other corner, hugely embarrassed at his team mates, wondering why the fuck he chose to stay in London. :duh:

could not give a fuck about the top 4, but whilst there is still a chance of catching Spurs then I will be wanting us to win.

the thing is looking at our incredibly easy run in we should now easily win 5 out of 6 and even probably beat Man City if they are involved in the CL.
Crystal Palace will be hammered by 3 or 4 and then le cock will talk about our mental purity and our ability to bounce back from that tough game at West Ham :roll:

Errr, no. Most of us want Arsenal to win simply because we've known for, hmm, 10 FUCKING YEARS that Wenger leaves when Wenger wants to leave, so no losing streak is going to force him out, short of a cataclysmic run of losses which we aren't capable of.

Your way of thinking on this issue is, and always has been, juvenile.
