Firstly fair fucks to our away fans yesterday. the "We Love You Arsenal" for about 25-30 mins was quality. Silenced the plastics. Well fucking done.
Secondly, every fucking member of our team should pay you back your ticket and travel expenses.
Thirdly, the "game"...
Thing that struck me the most? Manure didn't actually play
that well. They were good in flashes (all of which led to goals) but the amount of time and space they allowed us was mental. A better team would have possibly got a draw or maybe even a win out of it tbh. We were THAT poor we made them look awesome.
Chesney had no protection admittedly but his positioning and decision making for some of those goals was appalling. He WILL be a great keeper but he is NOT the finished article by any means yet. And I honestly believe someone should sit him down, tell him to get over his ego and learn from a quality number 1. Something we of course don't have but something I would put on the shopping list tbh.
RVP was appalling. His touch was poor and he seemed intent on over elaborating everything. The penno was piss. Awful attempt.
When I saw the team we put out I knew we would lose. I thought 2 or 3 nil probably. But to get jocked 8-2 like that was incredible.
And Arsene's answer to going to Old Shatford with a depleted team half full of inexperienced kids? Just try and play our "normal" game... the lack of any tactical intelligence in the man is embarrassing tbh.
My wife, who knows as much about football as Herd

, even popped her head in the door at one stage and said "Why are Arsenal giving the filth so much space at the back...?" My
missus could see our line was waaaaay too fucking high but good old Knows Best couldn't...
I never ever want Arsenal to lose a game and I have disagreed with a few on here that thought losing games would be best for the club in the long run but to be honest it may indeed be that getting prison-style raped 8-2 at the theartre of plastics will have been a "good thing" in the long run.
It now puts real tangible pressure on Wenger and the Board to actually address the playing staff issue and invest in quality. Wenger must now strengthen or be damned by all in the media.
And then I saw Wenger's post match interview... "Mental strength..." "The group will..." "We had 8 players missing..." as if that was the ONLY reason we were beaten. The same old excuses and the same old shite... He ignores the fact that proper investment before now would have seen us put out some quality to replace those 8 players.
We do not have the quality in depth we need. That much is obvious to anyone with half a brain. But will Wenger address this? I have a worrying feeling he actually won't...
