I've been working nightshifts so had to get up early for todays game meaning I got very little sleep. I am back in work this evening as well so by the time I got home from the Emirates today I had exactly 30 minutes before I had to leave for my 12hr nightshift. Don't get me wrong, I choose to do my job and I actually don't mind shift work but making the effort to get to the Emirates to watch several players who don't look like they give a fuck or others who do not DESERVE to be a regular first teamers is wearing me down big time. My desire to donate £1000+ a season to Arsenal Football club has almost gone. Never thought I'd say that.
Carroll looked average all game and was owned by Sagna and oddly Wilshire.
The goal was the still f'ing flappy flappyhandski's fault.
Wouldn't go as far as to say I hate him as you can't hate your most sussessful manager.
I'm just sick of listening to his and the club in general's bullshit.
Today's loss was avoidable if we bought a decent goalie, spent on an actual guaranteed 20-25 goal a season man and got familiar with a word in football called TACTICS.
It's f'ing arrogant to think we only need to worry about our own game because the opposition spend hours working on our game and there are some games that it stuns me that teams actually allow us to beat them.
I'm no UEFA coaching badges manager but I could nullify us if you gave me 10 average league one players and that is wrong for a club of our stature.
FFS we're not West ham or Spurs, this is The Arsenal and we don't lose at home to dodgy argie wingers,a 21yr old erratic striker and a midfield thug just getting back to being a footballer.

At about an hour into the game that shit feeling in the pit of my stomach that keep occuring started again and it's putting me off as well. I've got a whole day off for Wolves and till 3.30pm I'd been looking forward to it, not so much now.
In all honesty apart from the NLD at our place,the only game I could give a shit about anymore this season is the CC game against Wigan and hoping we draw some league 1/2 club in the FA cup away.
Who gives a shit if we come 2nd/3r/4th anymore. I'd rather win a cup and take it from there.
Message to AW/Board isn't it time we won summat, 2nd/3rd/4th isn't worth a bucket of warm piss

Unfortunately finishing 4th and qualifying for the Champions League is worth a hell of a lot more money than winning either the Carling or FA Cup. I don't think its right that clubs put money before trophies, but thats the way it is nowadays.

Which is why it would be really nice if we got kicked out of the top 4 by someone else and then we might invest PROPERLY in the team then trophies would come.
Tha fallacy with always aiming to get at least 2nd/3rd/4th is we always sacrifice the cups. Remember AW screwing us away at Stoke last year and also in the semis against the chavs. In our recent past we didn't treat the cups with such disdain. We went for all the trophies and look what we ended up with...trohies. Now we aim for hopefully 1st but really 2nd/3rd/4th and the club jar of Brasso still stays unopened.

I am 100% with you mate, unfortunately the people at the club who can change this are not.

That's the first I've seen of Andy Carroll, and I was quite impressed to be honest
Thought Carroll played well, hes big, powerful, holds the ball up and is good in the air, just what we need in fact
In the 2nd half he did because they had a lead to protect, in the 1st half can you remember him doing much besides being easily tackled by our backline and Wilshere.
The goal boosted him and their team. He was better in the 2nd half but 1st half did nothing but accept a nice early christmas prezzie from flappy

Ok he got an easy chance and he took it, thats more than all our strikers did all game

Don't think you guys were watching the same game that I was. Carroll won EVERY (yes, EVERRRRYYYYYY) header he went up for. Kos and Squilacci looked piss poor against him. He led the line well on his own (Ameobi dropped back into midfield mostly). And as for Sagna... he was absolutely hopeless, regularly getting raped down the wing, by whoever came up against him.
Do you people actually know anything about football? We were absolutely out-played today. We were piss-poor, and that is being kind. Some of you have clearly been "Wengered".

Hmmm.. got to agree with you, I think Sagna is finished, you don't even require a trick to beat him now, and as for Flappy, all he's been doing of late, is doing the basic stuff any goalkeeper worth his salt, should be doing, no more, no less, he was far too hesistant in coming out for that cross (incidentally I didn't think it was a free kick), but then that's just being too picky.

There is making a point and then there is stretching that sum bitch as far as a 10 inch wide cock will take a *word censored*.
