People love their bandwagons. All it takes is one person to say something and others have no hesitation in repeating it wihtout actually considering its merits.

Wenger's subs have been the cause of concern for me for many years and all criticism was justified, but this year they've been spot on (Man City game aside). Regardless of what a certain poster would like you to believe, Wenger's subs this year have no longer been the rigid 70th minute change, but he has made subs sooner in games where he felt was needed and has also changed the tactics when necessary. However, this has been conveniently overlooked as it doens't fit the agenda and the bandwagon.

You don't need to be a genius either to figure out the intent of the subs yesterday.

1. Jenkinson was brought on as newcastle went with 3 central strikers. Sagna was brought further in to pick up the extra man whilst Jenkinson provided cover for the wing.

2. Giroud was knackered and was no longer chasing the newcastle defenders and so was not doing the job we needed. Rosicky had a moan at him for this. Now we could either bring on Podolski or NB. Seeing how we needed a target man, rather than a finisher, to hold up the ball and provide an outlet up top, the logical change would be to bring on the bigger target man who could also help us defensively from corners. NB had to come on ahead of Podolski, and this is coming from someone who despises seeing the dane in the red and white of Arsenal.

Taken from a random passage of play. I count 3 newcastle c*nts going in to our box each being picked up by Sagna, PM and Kos respectively. Just because they're not all strikers by name doesn't mean they weren't playing 3 up top. Didn't think I had to explain that.... I can get you more examples if you think that only happened once in the last 15 mins or you gonna admit you were wrong?

The newcastle number 3 decided he was going to be a makeshift centre forward at various points in the last 15 minutes. Santon?

Besides, I don't see how even if we just look at Remy and Ameobi that it is such a bad idea to have gone for three centre backs to cope with their desperation aerial bombardment?

I think it is a bit of a shit-pundit created myth that you need players like walcott as an "outlet" to hit teams on the break in the final minutes of a match, the point is that loads of space becomes available, you don't particularly need shit loads of pace to exploit it. Anyway, I thought walcott was blowing out of his arse to be honest and had ran his race.

I thought our subs were decent on Sunday, much improved on the no-show against the chavs.
