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.

70% possession, no penetration.
A bunch of jokers called Giroud a "quality signing" even though they'd never seen him kick a ball in French football.
Perhaps they were overwhelmed by his 3 minutes of action at the Euros. LOL
Arsenal are a joke under Wenger. This incompetent corporate egotist has weakened the team again, meaning that for the 8th/9th year in succession; Arsenal will win nothing and continue to be a standing joke.
Oh and as for Giroud? Take your choice between the new Guivarch, or the new Gignac.
There's a reason he hadn't even got any Europa League experience!
Hope you rich people with more money than an iota of brains enjoy lining Arsene and Stan's pockets because you're getting the team your submissiveness deserves.
Oh well at least we got rid of RVP eh? We'll "score more goals as a team" (so long as it isn't against Sunderland, and at home ha ha)
bad miss by Giroud, ridiculous to judge him on a single sub appearance
and Babs cant count: 9 years ago was 2003, 8 was 2004
we won trophies in both those years (and 2005)

Blame anyone cept the clueless manager. What bout the tea lady - ugly biatch, put the players off their game.
thats what you took from that post - I criticise subs/formation/individual players anmd mention something I call a small detail - you isolate half of that small detail and take it as an excuse????
I've changed my mind - it wasnt the bad substitutions and negative 2nd half formation
I blame you
we lost because armchairsupporter cant read
I know mate.
Every one of the points you made are attributable to Wenker yet you managed to do it without mentioning him once. Well done.

isn't 'Arry great?
I may be wrong and please correct me if I am but I'm sure Babatunde was "judging" Giroud on a lot more than his performance today. He's posted before that Giroud is overrated even before he signed for us.
We have many issues that need addressing but imo the single biggest one (removal of manager apart of course) is the formation that we play - playing the system we have is not helpful when we need to break down a team parking the bus. Play two up top and give giroud or whoever some help and give the opposition defence more than 1 body to worry about. Teams know to push us wide cos (a) we cant cross the fcuking ball and (b) we just dont have runners breaking into the box so the opposition only need to watch giroud Giroud showed last week v cologne that he can be a good player for us so I wont worry about his miss just yet - yes I know it was only a friendly but he showed strikers awareness and positioning so I have faith that he will adapt if we remain patient

Babs was spot on with Gervinho as well, Giroud was signed on the strength of one Season in France and breaking into a poor french squad, whilst still not considered good enough to start.
As i've said before he looks like a french Andy Caroll, ie fucking shite.

yes you're wrong
in that post I was slating you not Babs
I saw almost every game Giroud played last season - he was very good,
one of the main reasons Montpellier won the league and the reason we bought him
who knows whether he will recreate that kind of form in the Prem
insane to judge him on one sub appearance
