In his BBC post match interview he said
"Overall we dealt well with (Andy) Carroll"
No we f**king didn't - he scored the goal that won his team 3 points.

"Some players were not 100%"
Why are they in the team then - the team that he picks?
"The players played in midweek"
That's the price you pay for being in the Champions League! Arsene is paid £6million a year to find the answer to this. . . . . . .
"Overall Fabianski has done extremely well"
One good game (Man Citeh) maybe but he is still a liability with 1 big mistake in him every match - and everyone but Arsene can see it.
"Van Persie needs some time for sure"
Unbelievable - if he needs time why take off our in form front man and bring on a player that is way short of match fitness??
And to top it all - Arsene spent ages berating the 4th official yet again. Whether it was because the subs board wasn't ready (Vic Akers fault!), Newcastle wasting time (what did Arsene expect them to do??) or decisions not going our way, Arsene was there blaming everyone but himself.
Well Arsene my old mate -
* if you stopped rewarding duffers with huge, long-term contracts,
* assembled a decent medical team (rather than our current useless lot)
* signed some battle hardened winners (like we had in 2004),
* worked out a Plan B (for the many times when Plan A doesn't work)
* and employed a defensive coach like Martin Keown (to teach our numpty air-heads how to defend for 90 minutes)
- - - - then maybe you wouldn't need to spend all match moaning.
Surley I'm not the only Gooner that is thoroughly sick of Arsene's tired old excuses????
