Why is that laughable? they're just trying to encourage an Arsenal player... that's kind of our role on a match day, surely? :?

No point holding grudges and being miserable. Time to move on.
Absolutely...we may all hate the fat tub of danish lard but once he don's the Red & White or Yellow & Blue and steps on the pitch we get behind him. :|
Too true, proper support today.

The problem I have with singing for him is that we don't sing for Chez, Kos, Gibbs, Jenks etc etc etc. So why sing for "Super Nic". Have we even a song for Ozil yet :?:

We got out of jail today,thanks super Nic(the original one not the Danish tub of lard)

West Brom closed us down in midfield like the big teams do against us.Ozil went missing and Jack had a first half shocker.Jenkinson looked out of his depth.Mert and Flamster excellent.At the end of the day after a performance like that we will take a point

That was a hard game, shows up all the people on here who thought it would be easy. They didn't fluke that result against United last week, they were genuinely good.

I'm happy with the point. Flamini was excellent, Jack was sh*te but he got the goal so :? Ches did all right again. Per and Kos did ok bar, Kos nearly giving away a penalty in 94thmin :banghead: .

Special mention for Lee Mason, you missed good decisions for both teams so at least you were balanced with your uselessness.

Onwards and hopefully Rambo gets a needed rest, no point in playing him, it's not like they are playing games that count for sh*t.

2 dropped points in a tough away game is tempered by the fact we are still in a decent position and have half a team to come back and even more tempered by the fact that the swamp dwellers lost 0-3 to a strikerless team, with the final goal being scored by a goner...now that's a result :twisted: :barscarf: :barscarf:

Yup! we got away with one today, and so can't really complain, though Jack needs a good shake and to get his head out of his arse.

Another positive; Just been listening to 606 on 5Live and 90% of the calls were from dis-gruntled, whinging scum fans - It spoke volumes on how the scum fans seem to think they have a divine right to just waltz into the top 4 because they've spent £110 million, I kept waiting for one of the m to call for Teen wolf's head...it was soooo Funny. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Forever in our shadow you bunch o'crunts :barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf:

The guy gets paid 52k per week, and thought it would be more professional to go on the piss in the off season that to stay in shape. I would never boo any of our players, but Bendtner has a long way to go for me before I feel he is due any respect. He needs to put in 120% effort, get in the shape if his life and to stop being such a knob (sorry safcftm) and then I'll be willing to change my mind, but looking pleased when we score while warming the bench is not enough to make up for the last few years of shitness/wankery.
People have a problem with Flamini for something that happened years ago, my problem with Bendtner is from the much more recent past.

denied by two organised banks of four and resorted to tika taka again. no subs to change it up and jack sadly killed the pace of many an attack.

plus we have zonal marking costing us again...

same failings against top six sides.

Not a bad point but some worrying signs that we're lapsing back into our old ways. We're going to have to find a way of creating chances when we come up against a team that plays like this otherwise we'll drop points by the truckload. Should have been buried by Anelka really.

The away support sounded superb (bar massaging Bendtner's ego).

the normal way is to vary the play, lob high balls in, balls over the top until you win free kicks and corners - and practice those, until their back four makes a mistake, as well as playing through them and taking the last defender on.

we gave them far too much time to organise and cover, we didn't play with pace or tempo - the inclusion of jack and arteta killed that. both who are players i like but are not suited to that type of game.

two points dropped imho.

Exactly my point - for some around here it seems that everything should be polar opposites as in totally hating a player or totally supporting him and that doesnt work all the time for me. I feel that signing that fat fcukers name when he came on as a sub today was way OTT but that doesnt mean that I wanted the guy booed either. At times it really winds me up that we are supposed to unreservedly support a player when he wears our shirt regardless of how he behaves/treats the club and fans - to the outside world I would expect that show of unity but on here, amongst other Gooners, I would expect that fans would see the bigger picture and be allowed criticise without being slated for not supporting said player :roll:
