As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
The first 45 minutes were as bad as any of the mega defeats of the past 3-4 years......the sole difference being that they were minus Suarez and Sturridge otherwise we could (and should) have been out of contention by half time. The usual Wenger problems - square pegs in round holes, opposition players being allowed to run in a straight line for 30 yards without so much as a dangled leg of a tackle, outmuscled in every one on one and some gormless individual decision making.
Thankfully the Debuchy equaliser (mugging of the season) took the wind out of their sails until we decided to let the 10 men pin us back deeper and deeper, took off the one player capable of actually holding the ball up and played some of the most braindead football known to man for the last 10 minutes
2-2 - some will say progress. I say thank fuck for Borini, Lambert, Markovic and Lallana because anyone half capable of finishing would have had us buried and on our way to another 5 goal massacre
yup. more and more tethers are being reached each week.
folk are starting to cotton on that the wins v west brom, newcastle, qpr etc aren't a sign of progress and the AKB denials are looking more and more stretched.
sadly though our next four homes out of five are piss easy - qpr, hull, villa, and leceister; so the bowl tourists won't even grumble. the away fans KNOW though
Exactly as I saw it - just as the momentum was swinging in our favour with the sending off of Barini we suddenly defend deeper and deeper with no outlet up front. Pathetic lack of tactical nous yet again

Would that be the piss easy Hull who we struggled to get a draw from at home in the last minute earlier in the season ?
Mert has been a disgrace all season. He is a fucking coward. Zonal Chaos my bollocks. A top CH makes decisions no matter what the system. Where Mert was for Skrtel's goal should have had him thinking "right I've got to go hit that and hit it hard". THAT's what top class fearless CH's do. They don't duck with a look of terror etched on their fucking face. There is no getting around it, he is a fucking coward. I can forgive anyone a mistake. I cannot forgive cowardice.
Deboocheeeeyyy was excellent. Ox was shockingly shite. Giroud was ok but again without an in-form Ramsey to run off him the few he won in the air were wasted. Welbeck put in top top effort but he isn't top class unfortunately. We are so limited it's embarrassing.
