On the other hand, referencing someone who you don't respect or you usually disagree with most of the time as 'back-up' to your point is almost incontrovertible proof that you're wrong this time!!

FUCCCCCCCCKKKKK! As in WOW!!! Hlebby You wrote that AND You're on Drugs!!
Quality! SSN just reported from the Emirates and said how fans are really split over Wenger and showed a big 'Wenger Out' bit of graffiti on a wall opposite the stadium, which had been whitewashed over quickly by the club, but you could clearly see it said Wenger out underneath.
Love it!
Down to 10 men - lets take off a young fella that works like a trojan and is fearless. 2nd substitution has to be Podolski of course - sod the fact he's the only bloke out wide capable of going round anyone and getting a cross in, just take him off regardless and replace with the Welsh wonder. Then for the final act throw on the French Kerry Dixon for one last heave-ho.
Honestly is there a manager more tactically fucking inept than Wenger in the Premier League? Its not even funny anymore - its just absolutely embarrassing

And we go thru all this again weds
He will definitely rest more players now as his precious virtual trophy is disappearing from view. The Chelsea game will be all that matters to him. Look forward to Frimpong charging around like a headless chicken and Mannone in goal

Out of interest, who would you have taken off following the red card? I think the subs pointed more towards (again) our lack of depth to the squad. Well, we have decent depth to the squad but the other players are all shit house.

On another note, where's Rosicky?
Rosicky is in his counting house, piles of £50 notes all around him and laughing like a hyena at our naivety...and he's not alone

At the time I felt that it should have been a straight choice between the ox and cazorla - that may sound weird but when you are a man down you cannot afford to carry a luxury player and ox's energy might have been more helpful ? In hindsight I would have taken off diaby - for starters he couldnt have been match fit but secondly he won fcuk all of the challenges and won even less headers so his physical presence was zero for me today and he should have been sacrificed

I would have, believe it or not, taken Abou off and moved the Ox into central midfield dropping Wilshere deeper. We needed some hard running in that area and I wouldn't have even started Abou today in that role, let alone keep him on when we're down to 10
Agree about Rosicky - surely his positive forward running, energy and creativity was what we needed ahead of Ramsey?

Taking Diaby off was the only sensible option. He wasn't going to last 90 minutes so in a sense it was a waste of a sub leaving him on with only 10 men. Ox would have held up the ball better than what was left on the pitch.
Has to be the worst Arsenal side of the Wenger reign. We cant defend. We cant keep the ball. We cant create chances. Our keeper cant kick the ball anywhere than past the touchline. Fucking awful.
Gervinho, Santos, Merty, Squillachi, Diaby -- all fucking awful Wenger signings. What happened to the ruthless Wenger who kicked Ljoungberg out because of injuries?

I had a quick look over arsenal.com and he hasn't been mentioned since Christmas. No idea if he's fit or what.
The squad is, again, one injury away from starting players who aren't good enough to even warm the bench.
