The ecstasy when Saka scored followed by the agony of the offside. I’m beat.

Keep dropping points against the same bang average sides. We deserve to win nothing.

As has been said a million times already VAR sucks the life out of it. Saliba’s goal against united the other night and again today subject to long checks. Every one of our goals seems to get the treatment whereas there’s not so much as a cursory glance when we concede.

When was the last time an opposition goal against us got the magnifying glass check? Fucked if I can remember yet every time we score they’re checking it :roll:

It’s ok, we’ve got Partey, Jorginho and Merino to choose from……oh, wait a minute.

Anyone know where Elneny is??

Havertz has regressed to his Chav levels of ineptitude. I thought he was appalling yesterday. Literally a hindrance to the team as he offered nothing in the attacking third and gave away incessant fouls which just turned over possession.

As for Martinelli, I think the potential he had has been coached out of him. Instead of being instinctive it's about retaining possession at all costs, which is why Diet Pep keeps alternating as neither Martinelli or Trossard delivers enough and both give the ball away. I'm not sure what Nwaneri's best position is but surely he should be given an opportunity.

I have a nasty feeling that Diet Pep will ignore calls for a striker and will look for a left winger without giving Nwaneri a decent stab at it.

Still, trust the process :banghead: :banghead:

If the media were of any use, they'd have called out some of the shambolic signings Arteta has made in the last few years. I remember the stupid rumours going round that Pep was apparently outraged at Zinchenko and Jesus being sold to us, when in reality he knew they were both shit and was happy to fleece us. Then you have Havertz, a signing that never made any sense. I hope I'm wrong but I expect Merino will prove to be a dud aswell. With the amount Arteta has spent, we shouldn't be a set piece team first but that is what you resort to when you're only game plan is to give it to Saka, and once he's nullified, we are clueless. As for Artetas obsession with rotating Martinelli and Trossard, it needs to end. Martinelli is absolutely finished, a complete headless chicken who couldn't manage the basic level of being onside yesterday while being in a standing position. The bottom line is that we will never win a CL or PL under Arteta :(

Havertz has scored 5 goals in 14 league games this season - that is barely better than 1 goal every 3 games, so I'd love to know what c.unts believed we could win a league with him as our main striker :roll: Of course that issue is only compounded by the fact that his back up (jesus) is worse than dogshite and has a goals to games ratio of something 1 in 20 and has us yearning for nketieh and sonogo at this stage :roll: :oops: :oops:
I remain convinced that we will not sign a top striker next month and we will continue to reap what we sow in what is THE main position in any football team, but maybe then it might awaken those who refuse to question or doubt the cone boy :censored: :censored:

I'm afraid it won't augie my friend. I think we're a long way from the peasants starting to revolt. It was beyond belief how long it took for a significant number of supporters to turn against the French clown and even by the time he went, I'm far from convinced that there was a significant majority that wanted him gone. I know we can talk about him having credit in the bank, but 12+ years of managed decline should have eroded that credit far sooner than it did.

Most of our supporters have a supine mentality, which long pre-dates Wenger. I know the scum fans turn overnight, but our lot are the polar opposite, who shrug their shoulders with a "what can you do?" attitude. Arteta has probably got another 3 years of spending money and winning fuck all, before there's any serious screaming from a large enough body of supporters. Prior to that, the only danger he might face of the sack is if we drop out of the CL places.

He has been fully backed by the club for 5 years and this is his team, so he has no excuses, but I fear he's here for quite a while yet. It's why I said on this thread yesterday that I hope I can regain my zero fucks attitude, because the alternative is constant frustration and fury. No good.

And tbh when enough of our lot turn, it won't be huge protests, it will be exactly what finally did for Wenger: apathy. They will eventually stop turning up in enough numbers that the club cannot excuse away all the empty seats.

That level of apathy is probably a few more trophyless seasons away.
