Despite all this we have some braindead fans who continue to sing "one arsene wenger" - I have a word to describe these "fans" but if I use it a ban would be heading my way at pace :roll: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :evil: :cussing: :cussing:
Lol - great minds and all that. I agree with all of the points you've raised mate and I was sat there actually predicting it as it unfolded. I had my father in law round who is a Man Ure fan and he was saying at half time how Wenger needed to bring on a striker to which I replied "not before the 70th minute"......what happens next - tracksuits off on the 68th minute and take to the field at exactly that time......AGAIN !! And who was it to make way - surely Gervinho - nope lets take the contrary view like he did when he subbed the Ox against the Mancs last year, and take off Podolski

I think I've said enough I about how I feel regarding Walcott representing the club. When we had 3 top quality players in Fabregas, Nasri and RvP that wouldn't commit to the club we sold them to the highest bidder before the window closed....so why the fuck are we stuck with the useless, greedy little over-rated shitebag Walcott that doesn't want to be at the club??
Totally agree with both these posts.

Good result yesterday and we were the better team but we missed a great chance to win and strike an early blow. Ending Man city’s unbeaten home run might have added pressure to the expectation they’re under but even if we’d won I expect it would be Man United who would eventually prove to be the team to capitalise.

The all too familiar signs of sabotage from Wenger are still there. The substitions he makes still look like they are being decided before the game and not based on the game.

And there always seem to be a weakness in at least one area of the team these last few season. While the defence and midfield looks to have improved it’s now up front where we’re short of options and quality. The money is there to have ensured this wasn’t the case so there is no excuse!

When the run in comes (if we are still in contention by then?!), I expect the pressure that a succession of must win games brings to be too much for the manager and his limited squad to cope with.

Make no mistake, the biggest hindrance of all at Arsenal is Wenger. By finishing in the CL places he will always do enough to keep the wolves from the door … but at the same time will always hold us back from achieving what the club is capable of.

For me 2006 to the present will go down as the lost years.

That was a great sight and it looked just like a terrace.

I bet there were a few layers of skin scraped of of a few thousand shin bones at that moment. Seats are lethal. I got more scars from all-seater stadiums than I ever had from standing on a terrace.

We played the champions away tonight and almost beat them ,the side is playing well ,and they look like a unified team for the first time in a number of years.

I can't see for the life of me why people need to constantly stick the boot in,they really should find better ways to channel their energies !

Agreed, some people refuse to be happy after a good result because it makes their own opinion (which they force feed to anyone that will listen) less water tight (in their mind) when things are going well (whic they obviously are)

Great result yesterday, played really well against the Champions who don't drop many points at their ground and havent in the last couple of years, had it not been for Gervinho then we would have won, the flaws of the manager are well known but while the team are doing well it's not a stick he can be beat with, that time will come I'm sure but right now it's not that time.

Jesus Christ,we go away to the home of the Champions,outplay them-get a great draw and unlucky not to defeat them and you still want to turn it into a Wenger bashing thread.

1.The team were outplaying City and i dont feel we needed to make any changes earlier than we did.

2.Re Gervinho-think he has improved alot this season,yesterday wasn't his best game but he had decent spells in the game and hopefully can keep improving and i feel has something to offer.

3.Showing loyalty to his latest money grabbing mercenary?.....He has benched Walcott FFS and with tired legs at that stage of the game i think Walcott was a decent shout to come on and possibly stretch them at the back.Now i am a big fan of The Ox but i would suggest that he still has a long way to go fulfil his undoubted potential and i think Walcott has in the past few seasons got us a few important goals and i could see the sense in the substitution.
4. Podolski was out on his feet yesterday from the hour mark and was justifiably substituted.His huge workrate from the past few games had caught up with him i feel.

So what if fans want to sing ''One Arsene Wenger''-it's their right if they feel he is doing a good job.Calling people braindead for doing such is ridiculous and from what i have read from you on this forum seems to be the way you respond to anybody with a different viewpoint to you.

Yesterday was a good day for the club, manager and fans and to find people still criticising the manager based on yesterday just goes to show i feel that he can do no right in some people eyes!

You summed it up perfect

absolute carnage, it was amazing, one of the very best goal celebrations that I've been part of anyway :barscarf: and I've had my fair share :D

Fair point about the performance. It was a good one.

But I’m puzzled why you think it’s a buried myth that Wenger has had funds. Surely the myth is that he hasn’t had funds? To be able to spend/waste £120m or so a year on wages must mean he’s had money. Over £50m made in profits in the transfer market since we left Highbury must also mean he has had money. Where has that money gone? The stadium debt is the myth. It is easily paying for itself with the extra revenue it generates.

A bid for Falcao, or Berbatov in RVP negotiations, or Jovetic who we could have easily got, Lewandowski etc...would have seen Arsenal dangerous.
As things stand there isn't a reliable striker there, that's shocking. :shock:
Podolski is good but not out and out striker.
Giroud is shite. FACT.

I look at the league and I know it's early, but it's deeply concerning to see the likes of Ricky Lambert, Damian Duff FFS, Ba, Anichebe etc out scoring Arsenal's number 9. Giroud won't go beyond 8 league goals this year IMO. Hope I'm wrong?
As for the keepers they're all mediocre, Chesney in class only in his own mind. Overrated sap. Mannone the less said the better.

I don't give a flying shit about 2nd place. Not when it's been nearly EIGHT years since Arsenal won anything.
Arsenal will win fuck all again this season because our imbecile manager screwed the team in the summer window, as he cares more for money, and nurturing his precious Frenchis pets from Ligue 1.
:roll:

A bit more ambition to strengthen DCM (shoulda signed Dembele, criminal Spuds got him), a keeper of any half decent standard (how can the Spuds second choice keeper be France no1 and better than our first choice? :shock:) and a serious striker, Arsenal would have been I with a genuine chance.
Fucked by Le Muppet again.


Try just getting behind your team instead of whinging about everything even when we get a good point away at the champions!

Don't see any videos going round of gooners doing the poznan after our equalizer, assuming live video didn't show it?

they have got a point about celebrating the equaliser.

thats why I couldnt get too excited on here yesterday.
I mean we have just got a point at Manchester City. Ok they are the champions, but they are still a shitty little club.

celebrate like that if we won, fair enough, not to get a draw.
it is slightly embarrassing that Arsenal now celebrate a point at Manchester City as if we had just won the league :oops:
