Their 3rd goal was just pathetic.

Assou-Ekotto had it near halfway, no one went to close him down. He was able to pick out Lennon and then Szczesny took him out. So simple to avoid. If an Arsenal player had committed where it was needed to and Szcz hadn't over committed they wouldnt have got their penalty.

The reason we don't win stuff isn't because the players aren't good enough, it's because too many of them are fucking idiots.

Why the fuck would we take Nasri and Theo both off!?!?!?!?!?! Okay, arshavin comes on, I think we can expect that but why would bendtner be put on?!?!?! Was he supposed to be a decoy out wide???

8 out of the last 18 points, hey there 3rd place

Mixed emotions I guess - if offered a draw this morning I would have taken it but to be 3-1 up and to blow it again

I stand by what I said about song doing well in 1st half but agree totally that in the 2nd half he was awol. Saying that how many of our team stood up in the 2nd half ? Arshavin never bothered when brought but nasri gave clichy no protection at all in the 2nd half

I thought sagna, kos and cesc were our best players overall tonight but theo and nasri had good 1st halves. Second half starts and twitcher makes tactical changes and all of a sudden we totally out played. We wait for wenger to make an alteration in our gameplan to combat this and lo and behold in the 80th minute we bring bendtner on......to play on the wing....again

Apart from diaby, clichy pissed me off more than anybody else tonight - kick the ball long or pass it quick but for the love of god stop fannying about in possession

But theres so many average players in our squad, Song, Denilson, Diaby, Squillachi, Bendtner, Fabianski, Almunia, Eboue,they are all shit, Arshavin doesnt look interested, most of them are fucking thick as shit as well, our squad is no where near good enough

i despise song now..laughing and joking with all of them...if hed provided even a modicum of cover for the defence maybe we would have won.

1st half good, (however defence and defensive midfield nowhere) 2nd half apart from first 10-15 minutes, poor all over the pitch, outfought and out thought, they wanted it more. simples

just gald we didnt lose...must admit would have taken a draw before the game. but to be 3-1 up......

ultimately i didnt care if we won or not, as titles long gone, but i wanted us to not let spurs back into 4th as we did last year, so in that senase a draw is ok.

Yep, Wenger really is clueless in game.

Same subs no matter what. Useless donkey like Bendtner on the wing, Arshavin on the other, NEITHER TRACK BACK.

Bring off only two players who might have done something.

Should have brought off Van Persie, he was fucking shite once again.

Song is shit, fuck knows what he brings to our side, hes slow, clumsy, cant pass, gives away stupid fouls and gets stupid bookings and looks a gormless twat, nowhere near good enough for a supposed title challenging squad, but then theres loads of others like him too

Last season I actually thought he was very good. This year though same old.

Slow, stupid and lazy tackles. No bite to him, poor on the ball. If he goes, I wont be complaining.

Chesney was excellent tonight.
He was a gee hair away from getting to Lennon - too late to pull out - give the chap a break

Song's one time pass to Fab did start the play for our first goal. Once he got the yellow he pretty much fucked himself, just like when he got an early yellow against barca he was useless.

no. 1 is Perry Groves.... · Wed Apr 20, 2011 9:08 pm

the substitutions reaked of desperation by wenger and shows he has no plan b or tactically astute enough to win a game.

anyone could see that even a tired nasri and walcott offered more defensive cover and probably more attacking threat than arshavin and barry.

Was in work yet again tonight so i didnt get to see the game but why for the love of good can we not hold a lead whatsoever. It has happened time and time again this season that we are in a great position and we end up dropping points. It has got to the stage now that the players genuinly shit themselves when we have a lead because they are afraid of the other team coming back into it and low and behold what happens. so much for our m****l s******h

He was very good tonight but the decision to dive in was fucking ridiculous.

AW says we dropped physically in the 2nd half. That's the best excuse he can come up with.

He can't say it's beyond us now but the pained look on his face shows he is thinking otherwise. The guy looks gaunt and ill. The stress has been getting to him.

Think his performance tonight sums up Ches alltogether. A great player with lots of potential, but he still has a lot to learn. Future is bright for him though.
