If this isn't Gervinho on the right and Theo up front then...

WHY IS FOREHEAD STARTING OVER OX, FFS!

Lawro's match prediction from the BBC

"Arsenal's draw with Everton on Wednesday was probably the best game of the week - real end-to-end stuff with both sides attacking - and I don't think the Gunners have too many problems, save for some moaning from their fans."

How dare he accuse us of moaning :oops:

How can anybody say we have no problems when we've undergone the worst PL start under Wenger and are getting progressively worse year on year?

Squillaci?! Where is Djourou, Y'angha, or Miquel?! Anyone but him!

As for Arshavin, he creates the winner against reading, wins the pk that should have got us all 3 points against Fulham, and makes one of the only dangerous chances against villa.......so he gets dropped at Everton and today.

Gervinho up top again.......... :banghead:

It's coming up to the New Year Transfer Window, so wenker is hoping he'll have a decent five mins (the first decent 5 mins since he arrived that is) and so sell him, rather than have to pay some *word censored* to take the useless fecker off our hands :banghead:

Would like to see some positional changes between Walcott, Gervinho and Pod.
Swapping positions accross the front three could benefit us and Pod could be good cutting in from the right with his left foot.

Sadly this is what the current incarnation of Arsenal has driven me to. I've followed Arsenal for over 25 years, planned my life around Arsenal, not attended family events because of Arsenal, left family events early because of Arsenal, travelled for hours on buses in foreign countries to see the Arsenal..... and now I'm driven to absolute apathy by what Arsenal have become.

The only way I can forsee a way out of the current mess is failure to win the 4th spot trophy. Wins here and there such as beating Swansea just paper over the cracks and keep the masses happy and the dictator in control.... just like the Spurs win.

Had a moment of clarity in the shower last night (when I do my best thinking.....)

Would RvP and Cesc have left if for example Guardiola was managing the team? RvP an Arsenal man of 10 years didn't leave for the love of another club or for more money he left because he knows (like we all do that deep down) that under Wenger are going backwards.

So in my opinion losing today wouldn't be such a bad thing in the bigger picture. Besides do you remember when losing really hurt? Now...... nothing surprises me or particularly bothers me to be honest and it won't do until we get our Arsenal back.

I was reading that with interest until you mentioned the Dutch twat.....didn't leave for money :roll:

Please, anyone who believes this is more deluded than so called AKB's :wink: :lol:
