As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

The problem is we're not good enough and we've got a mental manager who really has lost the plot (have you seen him scratching his head like a lunatic in the 2nd half, pathetic!)
Absolutely spot on.
The time for booing is when the players dont put in the effort, they put in the effort we just arent that good anymore. Our team is severely lacking in confidence because of Wenger's ineptitude and rank bad management.
I thought the booing was a tad uncalled for, abuse for Wenger would have been better.
I think the booing is at Wenger not the team. Most people know and admit that we are not good enough, the man whomcan change that and who has failed to change that for years is Wenger. The booing is totally deserved but there needs to be concerted chanting aimed at Wenger.
This is so depressing.
But did anybody expect anything different?
There was absolutely no way Arsenal were gnona do anything but lose against a comparatively new Scouser team still bedding in.
Just when you thought you couldn't hate Wenger any more. He really is the author of our great clubs downfall and I am so sad
"The record books will suggest this was a solid away win but the applause that greeted the home team as they went off, and the songs from the stands throughout, smacked of something different.
If you can have pride in defeat then this was it. Arsenal lost the game - and we know what will follow that - but they have not lost their spirit"

Now, I don't mean to insight an argument here. I am genuinely interested to know; do you have faith in Wenger to sort this mess out?
I think the game today may force his hand, in fact it has to. I think Wenger knows how to put a decent football team together, but he's gotten too caught up in trying to be a financial mastermind too. While I admire that, and have appreciated it after the last few seasons, we're now at a point where we absolutely have to make signings or risk being left behind. I think Arsene Wenger has to swallow some pride and accept that this ideal way of running a club just isn't working in the current football climate.
I think Arsene Wenger can do it, but he has to put his principals aside this summer, and if he can't do that, then I don't think he will be at Arsenal much longer. The majority of fans have had enough, the media are now cottoning on to this, and I think he's got to react or face a very disappointing end to a great career with Arsenal.
Take your fukin rose tinted glasses off fer fuk sake.
Its far far far too late for Wenger now.
Its fukin over, tainted, wrong, appallingly wrong, so fukin sad.
We coulda bin dominiting for years if it wasn't for that French bastard
Hes fuked it all up and him you and all the other rose tinted AKB's wont fukin man up and admit it.

Is that your opinion or Wengers post match talk?
Just to pick you up on point 2 if I may. That could be seen coming from the second he picked up the first yellow.
That the player nor manager are intelligent enough to prevent it is what really irks me.
What a waste of time that was. No excuses for what was an average performance with two stupid goals that shouldn't have happened. Liverpool were shite too, which reminds us that we can count on Arsenal to ruin it by themselves all the time. Directionless, no tactics or playing as a unit, fragile and with a manager so absorbed in his own world he is utterly blind to everything in front of his nose. Man U are going to destroy us. The tone of the season is nearly set.
Pretty obvious loss, and we'll get tonked at United next week.
But, things will have to get worse before they can improve (i.e. Wenger leaving), so I can put up with these losses as they will hopefully contribute to the longer-term good.
