Canaries V (what proved to be) the Arsenal light-weights

[reading gooner]

How may more years of this idiot do we have to suffer? meanwhile van judas scores again.

There are times in life that you don't get what you deserve and today was one of those days.......they should have beaten us by 2 or 3 goals

I pointed out before shammers game that it was our 3rd worst start to the season since formation of premier leagues and that seems to have been forgotten in this new wave of confidence Don't get me wrong cos I have looked at the approaching returns of sagna and wilshire and thought that we have as strong a first 11 as we have in recent years but we still have a problem with our predictable style of football, our lack of quality subs and a manager that can't see how utterly shit the likes of Klingon are and cannot vary his gameplan or use of subs and is totally incapable of motivating his players for a game like this I hate the man with an absolute passion and I may not be allowed use the word on here but arsene we all know what you are

Abject display. No quality in this performance at all. Santos, Ramsey, Gervinho and Mannone look like they don't belong at this level. If Wenger mentions international break then I hope the interviewer asks how the Chavs, Manure, Citeeh managed. I hate that I have to listen to Champion smug it up. Norwich deserve this.

And yet we have 50-100 million cooling in the bank rather that having some good options to those players, and having any quality on the bench when the obvious injuries and post international lull hits.

And yes, it's all too obvious we need a defensive midfielder to replace Song. Arteta's skill is needed higher up the pitch to break the deadlocks being put up against us in the middle. Seems to me that the other teams have figured out that we can't create when there's no space.

Now we're gonna see the AKB looking at this game in isolation.
Analyzing this one game, giving reasons/excuses for this, for that.

Thats how they operate - its just one isolated game to them. Lets forget that its happened a hundred times before. Lets forget everything and analyze this one game. Theres always jam tomorrow.
Blame the board. Blame the ref. Blame the pitch. Blame the ANC. Blame Manure. Blame Chelski. Blame Shitty. Blame fixture congestion. Blame a freak goal.
Lets put the blame where it lies for a change lads eh?...........

I'd be miserable right now if I hadn't got used to it by now. Nothing surprises me about this bunch of bottlers and never-will -bes and as for that mug in charge, what's left to be said that hasn't been said millions of fucking times before? Same old shit though, bringing on a young player at the end to sell us more of the future.

[defleppardisking]

we still have god knows how many yrs to go to watch wenger and a bunch of useless players keep screwing us up and collecting dust on the trophy cabinet.

[MutleyGooner]

Norwich are still looking for their first win of the season, I have a feeling they might just find it this afternoon.

Stupid fucking feelings

[FrenchGun]

8 games in the season and we're already 10f pts of the leader...

No place for players like gervhino, ramsey, Manone in the team i we want to even pretend to compete for anything. Giroud needs to step up quick if he doesn't want to end up in this category too. His attemps at scoring today were embarassing to say the least. Poldi wasn't at his best either but at least he din't do too much wrong. Santi is still a class above, he's just no messi and can't be decisive week in week out.

Wenger has been caught in his own hype some time ago. He's been believed to find raw talent and polih them and now he's living on this. Unfortunately his "findings" aren't cuting it any more. Now we can only wait and hope he' being replaced one day rather sooner than later...

The fact that the squad flew to Norwich shows how out of touch this over pampered shower of shit is with reality. Losing is hard to take but when there is no effort, passion or desire from any of the players in red it is criminal. AW tactically outwitted by the mighty Chris Houghton. Without doubt one of the worst performances in his 16 year dictatorship!

[clockender1]

well if the chav result was one step backwards, that was definitely two steps back.

Wenger totally set the team up wrong.

knowing we'd lost the pace of gibbs by putting in santos, he should have dropped Ramsay who was abysmal yet again, in favour of Ox who although he gives the ball away can play at pace - Ramsay can't, Santos can't. so going forward we were back to the 'patient' passing game against two banks of four, and we mostly passed sideways and backwards and fed the front three only scraps.

what we should of done was put Ox in, batter them in the first twenty minutes, get a couple of goals and ruin their game plan. then we could play the patient passing game in the spaces created by them having to push forward to get anything.

they left two up the whole game - as poor teams do, and two banks of four to defend deep. we only needed 3 in midfield and we should of had them.

i don't blame vito for the goal, no-one closed the shot down as Arteta had been pulled all over the place trying to carry Ramsay, and the replays show it swerved and dipped anyway.

Gervinho's first touch was poor today too,which didn't help.

and as for the substitutions - when OX came on, AW took a striker off in Pod. WTF ?

and so with Ramsay still on the pitch, when OX got injured making an effort, who did we have left to win the game ? - Arshavin and and 17 year old winger....

tiredness can't be a factor - i saw both the Chelsea and City comebacks, and both were a result of their players raising the pace in the last 20 minutes against tiring opposition.

its shit. relying on our patience and quality cost us yet again against another poor team. why doesn't AW get that you have to batter them early to blow their confidence and quieten the home crowd ?

even shit teams can raise their game at home with a noisy crowd and increasing belief. we need to crush that belief in the first ten minutes.

very disappointed in AW today. he's not learnt. he needs to hold his hands up. no excuses.

[Glitch33]

12 points from 8 games. On track for 57 points this season.

That performance was pants. Pants with skidmarks. Yellow stains at the front and brown smelly ones at the back.

Why should we be the ones to gift Norwich their first win with no sign of a decent fight back. Shameful.

Seen it too many times in the last 7 seasons and hoping against hope that it can be changed.

The buck stops with Le Boss. If he can't get them up for a game like this then what chance do we have in any competition?

[armchair]

I thought we were a bit jaded today after the international break. We lacked a little sharpness. The players were tired and mentally not strong enough. I thought we played with the handbreak on.
One individual error cost us today.

I can fukin hear it now.
