I agree it's a waste of time, but I'll still watch them. Could even open up the chance to see new parts of europe for an away trip.

Think we might yet finish 4th though, then all eyes on Munich...

[phil_mitchell]

wenger lying fucking piece of cow shit you are...your tenure is at an end and you will be remembered by everyone as nothing but a complete failure

[LDB]

By the way did anyone see Gervinho's reaction to our equaliser at 2-2? Barely fucking registered. Fuck off you passionless oxygen thief, fucking good job saving us from dizzying prices with that one Arsene. Rather spend 20m on proper quality then burn 10 million for nothing.

by the way whoever it is who'll be in charge next season...PLEASE-BUY-A-PROPER-GOALIE instead of that useless flop szesny or whatever the fuck his name is

[goonertux]

Szchez looked like Almunia today! Disaster for their 1st, and didn't know whether to stay or go for their third. Worrying, as I think he has been pretty good for most of the season. Keeper is not the real problem, though. Where is the quick play, the incisive passing, different ideas?

haha you love to defend the rubbish we have...carry on you'll have plenty to defend next season when park is main striker

I am going to say a few things here and believe me, it gives me no pleasure to say these things, but someone needs to have the balls to admit it. I use the term 'balls' because Arsenal, the club I once knew and loved, has become nothing but a spineless, cowardly, excuse-making joke and it needs to stop.

Arsenal are in all likelihood, going to be playing Europa League football next season. Picture that for a moment.
We might probably finish behind Spuds. Again, picture that for a minute. Actually, we might finish behind Newcastle. Again, fancy that.

A few facts for you here:

Spuds wage bill is a reported £76 million. Harry Redknapp's wages are reported as being between £2.5 and £3 million a season.

Newcastle's wage bill is even lower, after ditching their high earners last summer, they now spend a little over a reported £53 million a year on wages. Alan Pardew, their manager, is drawing a salary of £1.5 million a season.

Now let us get to Arsene Wenger FC.

A wage bill that went up in the past year to over £125 million.
The manager is on wages of £7.5 million a season.
Arsenal are the fifth most valuable club in European (and world) football.
Arsenal's matchday revenue, is the highest of any club in Europe.
Arsenal moved to a 60,000 al-seater futuristic dome 'to compete with the biggest clubs in Europe'.

And yet, Spuds and Newcastle will probably finish ahead of Arsenal.

Even if just the Spuds finish ahead of us, and we get 4th, Chelski can have no greater motivation to win the Champions League than the knowledge that winning it would relegate their London rivals to the Europa League.

Arsene Wenger has every single advantage in the book that any manager could want to be competing for the league title and European cup. He has a non-interfering board. He has oodles of cash at his disposal. He has been in the league for over 15 years, so knows it inside out.

Yet Arsenal have lost a QUARTER of their league games this season.

A team in yellow shirts came to the Emirates and danced the samba like Brazil, scoring 3 times at pleasure, and could have scored so many more. Only later did I realise that it was in fact Norwich, and not Brazil.

And do you know what?

The biggest people to blame in this sorry pathetic, incompetent mess are the Arsenal fans.

Arsenal fans are getting the piss-poor team they deserve, and getting the manager they deserve.

This season, a pathetic club like the Spuds have had many many fans calling for their manager Redknapp, to go. Reason? They are unhappy at the way he faded away in the title race. Unhappy with his January transfer business.

At BIG clubs, there are standards. Not excuses.

Yet Arsenal is strangely different. Arsene Wenger has won nothing for 7 years and that is UNACCEPTABLE full-stop.
The fans at Arsenal as far back as 2008, should have been showing serious dissent, there should have been protests and boycotts of games. Instead what do you get at Arsenal?

A bunch of passive fans who make excuses.
Rubbish like Gervinho is signed and it's 'give him a year to adapt'

Uh huh. We've been waiting for players to 'adapt' for 7 years and counting.

Wenger abuses the fans with his 'half a day in football' and 'I'll do what I choose' nonsense, and jokers defend him.
He continues to do whatever he likes and comes under no pressure from the fans.

There are people who are weak-willed, and like to use the excuse that the fans 'can do nothing'

Yet it's funny, because at every other serious club, when the fans decide to mobilise and show dissatisfaction, things happen. The Scousers managed to get a whole board booted out of their club. AC Milan fans have got managers sacked. The Roma fans right now, are going to get Luis Enrique sacked.

Man United fans would never put up with paying the highest ticket prices in Europe, and enduring a ridiculous summer like we just did in the market.

In fact, not even Spuds would.

Only Arsenal fans shell out their money, do nothing, watch the manager and board take the proverbial. And know what? All that excuse-making culture Arsenal fans have been showing for the past 7 years is coming home to roost now. Arsenal have gone further backwards than anyone could ever have imagined, and it is only going to get worse after Van Persie buggers off.

And you have all sat back, paid your big monies, made excuses and let it happen. Well done. And it's richly deserved.

Wenger has been allowed to drag this great club down to such a disgusting level.
You have wastrels like Diabolical Diaby drawing sick money out of the club for being in the infirmary.
You have Denilson, Bendtner, Gervinho, Shitachi.
You have Song, who thinks he is a number 10, who has never been disciplined in his life.
You have disgusting attitude performances, where the team is a reflection of its arrogant manager - think WIgan at home, strutting out, thinking it was won before a ball was kicked.

And know what? The players act like c**** because our passive fans blow smoke up their arse and let them.

You have a bunch of comedians blowing smoke up Chesney's arse. Did you see that 'performance' today? I've seen better performances from Fabianski FFS. Pathetic.

There can be ZERO excuses for the summer in the transfer market Wenger, Gazidis et al just had.

There can be NO excuses for the thousands who will just idiotically hand their ST money over to the club and use the weak willed excuse 'ooooooh I get to the back of the queue'.

Hand over your money, and you'll continue to endorse the deterioration of once great and proud institution.

It is sad and an absolute DISGRACE what is going on at Arsenal.

The fans have the power to change this.

Stop fucking accepting 3rd place.
Stop your bullshit 'Mind the gap' bollocks with the Spuds. It's an embarrassment, we should not even be looking at them they should be shit off our shoes. We should be up there competing with Manure like we once did, and in Europe we should have a rivalry with Bayern, Madrid or Barca with the resources at our disposal.

Instead we have mindless saps showing off about 'mind the gap' when we spend over 35% more a year on wages than Spuds. Fucking ridiculous.

You've let Wenger drag us into this mess.

You can continue letting him drag us down further still, as those of us who saw this coming have been saying.

Or, you could do something about it - and you can - and ensure that NEVER EVER AGAIN, is one individual allowed to become more powerful than Arsenal FC. And that never again can one overpaid sap be unaccountable to those who pay his wages and who are the lifeblood of the club: THE FANS.

Alternatively, you can sit here, bitch about Norwich (a recently promoted side), bitch about the refs, moan about penalties, moan about the grass, bitch about bad luck etc...

And watch us go down further still.

What is it the AKBs say again?

'Who else would you replace Arsene with'?

Answer: with any of the four managers above him in the league table, the novice manager who has made a European cup final with Chelski, or any of the several managers with a better record than zero trophies in 7 years.

Rant over.

You are getting the team you deserve and the manager you deserve.

[donaldo]

As long as Wenger stays next season Ramsey Gervinho and Song will stay.

We have a manager who doesnt do defence.its now 47 goals conceded this season.Unthinkable

The buck stops with Wenger. its now 3 pts out of 12 in our last 4 games

Its time for Wenger to go even if we do creep into the top 4

[King Vieira]

Sagna has broken his leg again

[Dan_85]

Spineless, gutless, pathetic, bottling performance and the worst thing is it wasn't at all a surprise. Our attitude fucking stinks & we can't deal with pressure. Not a chance of us ever winning the league again under Wenger, no killer instinct. Gervinho is so bad, cut our losses now & get what we can for him. Ramsey is a total plodder who always wants 3 touches too many. When Ox replaced him it all changed, the kid actually wants to take people on & drive towards goal. Of course that's all well & good but if you can't hold it together at the back as well its pointless. I've been saying for a while that its no longer the personnel in our back 4 to blame, its the fact they get absolutely zero defensive coaching. I'd get George Graham & Martin Keown in to drill them relentlessly.

So we gift wrap 3rd spot for spurs & give it to em on a plate with a very good chance that we won't even play CL football next season. Fuck this shit.

[Its Up 4 Grabs Now]

Would any Song supporters like to go into print defending his calamitous performance this time? A typical Sheepshead performance. Continually getting caught in possession (and NO, he doesn't usually win it back), this match leading directly to a goal, slow in possession, feeble passing etc. Will we hear the usual, "but he played a lovely pass", shit?

Our defence continually had four forwards to take care of with Song and Ramsey 15 yards away admiring the view. Whenever we play at that slow pace we look mediocre.

What in gods name was he doing playing such a ridiculous, lazy pass in his own half in the build-up to their third? Just goes back to his complete inability to read the situation at hand - both in the immediate sense of individual passages of play (what's going on around him, where we're exposed etc) and in the greater scheme of the context of the game (when we need to keep it simple/get a foothold/up the tempo etc). Those assists really do go to his head. An absolutely woeful liability of a player who personifies us as a whole over the last few years - consistent dross and the same mistakes repeated ad infinitum totally glossed over by the masses due to the odd piece of quality. Probably the most overrated player in the whole premier league. Fuck off.
