Is anybody at all surprised at how that game panned out (other than us nicking a goal)?

"It was a positive performance but not a positive result". He was watching a different game to me.

I think it was some sort of franco-african trade deal - for every useless turd wenger signs from africa, he gets a piece of african land signed over to him so that he can drill for diamonds or oil or whatever :roll:

Life would be much happier if Wenger never spoke again in public.

Exactly. Our players can't even control the ball these days or weight a pass properly in the right direction. It's like watching labradors chasing a beach ball.

Another defeat, closer we come to Turnip being sacked.

Hopefully West Brom spank us on Saturday. I've bet on them in their last two matches and they lost both in poor defeats. Now they are average as fuck, but they should be well up for this game.

Hopefully they play Shane Long with Lukaku up front, and Odemwingie on the wings.

I never understood why an Arsenal fan wants his team to lose, but I think Im beginning to understand.

Right now, Arsenal are dying slowly on the pitch. We have a few bad results, followed by the occasional good result showing some hope, and this keeps Wenger in a job and the fans onside. This viscious cycle continues, and slowly, before we know it, we have accepted Arsenal are a mid-table team.

But if Arsenal lose lots of games in a short time, this really hits home to the fans, and Wenger would be under huge pressure meaning he is much more likely to be gone. Not only this, but with Wenger hopefully gone quickly, it gives more time for someone else to come in and turn things around

That was pure torture...they were rubbish so that makes Arsenal what ??? Really couldn't give a fuck about this competition at the moment. Who do we draw,? what difference does it make ? I will say something nice about Meade as it was his debut..he tried, he was confident and he competed..Everyone else couldn't be bothered, but special mention for Gerv the swerve..WHY IS HE PLAYING FOOTBALL AT ANY LEVEL ?

It will be Dortmund and surprise, surprise, we'll see them off. Really, unlike most of you I actually do fancy our chances against every oposition (okay,make that 'other than Barca'). :barscarf:

We'll win and everything will be rosey in Wenger's palms :shock:
