I think we worked hard, showed great commitment and wanted to win. Guess what? The players we have aren't good enough! We, and AW need to accept that.

Has anyone kept track of how many times he thinks the teams mental strength is great? That we are still unbeaten? That we are still in with a chance? Because seeing him round off the same list of excuses each time always pisses me off. :banghead: I really should put money on this.

Get rid of him and bring in a manager who is not afraid to tell players they are shit and they need to do better.

Yes, because the last year or two with GG were really the dogs' nuts. :roll:

I'm not enjoying this season post CC-final any more than anyone else, but the number of black and white comments on here kills me.

If you think that top-four in the league is a "shambles", you need a dictionary. Very disappointing given desire and expectation, maybe, but a shambles? :banghead:

When was the last time you heard a manager tell the media that his players are shit?

I will never understand why people think what is said to the media is the same as what happens behind closed doors.

Mangers come out all the time and say we simply werent good enough we got beat by the better team. Wenger is the only one who continously comes out and makes excuses like the pitch or special circumstances or like tonight it was a special goal that we lost too :roll: He is treating the fans like mugs at then end of the day.

The RVP offside goal most likely.
Was it offside? Looked pretty close.

Sky replays just show he was on.....

We'd have fucked it up at 4-2 anyway :roll:
He did look onside, SKY even superimposed an obstacle in the way of the best angle... Wankers...

Yeah, he's the only one... Who gives a shit, anyway - any excuse for some fans to get worked up. Maybe they find it cathartic.

Anyway you didn't answer my question.

The amount of leads we've thrown away this season?
4-0 to Newcastle?
2-0 to scum and leave empty handed?
Carling Cup Final?
Go from 4 competitions to 1 in the space of 2 weeks?
3-1 lead thrown away against the scum again?

Yeah that is a fucking shambles, it is just embarrasing. Please tell me a club this season that has been humiliated more than us, it is just disgusting. How many points were we clear from Chelsea? Now look where they are.

"I am happy with second" Just fuck off, well you're not getting it.

Ah yes those halcyon days

under George Graham.

Those cup games against Millwall and Bolton.

McGoldrick, Hillier, Kiwomya, Flatts, Campbell.

A George Graham team would never let a 2 goal lead go. Well, except for our very first Premier League game against the mighty Norwich.

And his teams would never let a third rate striker playing for a third rate team score a hat-trick against us at home. Well, except for our first game of the 2nd Premier League season.

And who can forget that fantastic home game against Wimbledon in 1992-93 where they beat us 1-0. No, you probably can't cos there were only 18000 at the game and you weren't there.

And then there was 94-95. It started off fantastically with a 3-0 drubbing of Man City. Then the likes of Seaman, Dixon, Winterburn, Bould Keown, Adams, Parlour, Wright, Smith, Merson and Schwarz showed us how they could fight for each other by going on a 5 match run without a win including 4 consecutive games without scoring.

Or how about this nice little run of home games: 0-0, 0-0, 1-3, 0-0, 1-3, 1-1, 1-1, 1-1.

Get a grip.

Probably all of them except Man Utd and they've had their moments.

I think Mick McCarthy might have done it. But I'm not sure he is the sort of manager that we want.

A George Graham team would never let a 4-0 lead go.In fact no manager in the history of the premiership would as Wenger is the only manager whose team has ever done it.
