FFS, really should've put a fiver on. Most predictable result this season, other than the 2-0 at Monaco (which thankfully I did cash in on). :(

Today demonstrated 3 things

1) nothing has changed- Wenger never learns
2) the Premier League is shit
3) Giroud is and never will be a world class striker

don't worry mate, the giroud fanbase only exists after we play palace, newcastle and villa :lol: :oops:

EDIT- ten years without winning the league is boring? try fifty years you plastic, tory voting codpiece sniffing c-unts :blah:

I think our mate Henry has been on the sauce today? Remind us what you think about Steve Bruce again mate :D
I don't really hate steve bruce. it's easy to feel sorry for a man who looks like he's had his head locked in a fucking kiln for 3 days straight. as for john terry, the racist, scummy fuckwit; well I wouldn't tire easily of drilling his face in with a black'n decker. in fact by the time I was finished with it he'd end up being mistaken for steve bruce's criminally retarded son. :evil:

Another outstanding 90 mins from Giroud too, zero shots on target until he was subbed, one shot all game.
Superb. Can't wait for next season :roll:
He will never beat Jose, Yawn.
Talking of progress we now need to win 4 of the last 5 games to match last season's points total, went out of the CL at the same stage (but to a far inferior team), got knocked out of the League Cup at the first hurdle and need to beat Villa to match the achievements of last season's FA Cup

Overwhelming progress eh...
Indeed, in fact I hope Stan raises ticket prices again next season in recognition of the outstanding progress made this year.

Definitely thought Arsenal looked the team playing to win the game.

Problem is Chelsea were playing to win the league. :(

As predictable a game as any game in the history of predictable games. Frustrated because on face value the chance was there to beat them but on reflection maybe it wasn't because we didn't win and that is what they played for. Plus was Monreal and Mert (feared for him , even though they didn't start with a striker).. Low point was Ramsey wide right, he holds the ball up and fails to exploit the space , which in fairness was very little today. Also it is not his position and as a result he drifts too much.
Chelsea's celebrations at the end said much about their approach.

Chelsea came for a point, they got it, Wenger has no answers for it.

The reception Slimey Snake got when he came off was something else, a new low.

Giroud is perfect against 80% of the premier league because it is so weak

He is found out against the top teams and in Europe
But we all knew that right?

have you ever planted a veggie garden and had rabbits and the like come and munch on your plants and try something like putting fox urine around the border of your garden so as to discourage the pests from visiting again?

well, did someone line the 18 yard box with fox urine today?

so many times Giroud was alone in the box with 3 Arsenal players just outside and no help.

why when a team packs the middle do we constantly try attacking down the centre , no width, Ramsey isn't a wide player.

just fully playing to Chelski's hands.

he's clueless.

The Ozil/Welbeck miss at the end was crazy. Giroud not good enough is an understatement. Walcott coming on for 7 minutes a complete waste of time. Thomas would have been the better move 30 minutes earlier. Caz & Ozil are too lightweight in a game like this. Arsene knows best ??? :barscarf: :barscarf:

We did OK but we never caused them much grief , if we wanted to win it Walcott should have come on for Ramsey after an hour and Wellbeck could have replaced Ozil .

We are a long way short of Title winners !

Moron-hio in boring grind out result shocker! :shock: Oh noes!! :shock:

:roll: :lol:

Negatives for me were;

Ramsey again. No matter if he is better inside than out, he makes the choices to over elaborate every single touch, to constantly choose the difficult option, to keep flicking and backheeling the fucking ball in this pointless drive he has to be the Welsh Messi. :roll: :oops: Blaming Wenger for playing him wide is one thing, but Rambo himself has to be professional whilst out there and he has the technique and bottle to do that, but he is now so enamoured of his own image as a footballing genius he can't be disciplined in any role.

Giroud. Outpaced (no surprise really), but also out muscled (doesn't happen often). The hysterical lashing out at the "Giroud worshippers" in this thread is hilarious. Please point out who exactly ever called him "world class" on here? He is very obviously an average to slightly above average (on a good day) PL striker. The PL is littered with them. By the same token he isn't shit and only an idiot would think that. But we can all see he is not the striker that will drive us to the PL title.

Santi. Thought he was very poor, misplacing passes. Looked tired tbh.

Ozil. Some nice little passes and good interchange play at times, but he was out fought every single time a chav got physical with him. In a better thought out system Ozil would be a PL star but under Wenger and this current system? Never.

The poxy fucking referee. Let far too many cynical chav fouls go. The problem with these school teacher type refs that have never played the game to a decent standard is they cannot tell what's a cynical foul and what's just clumsy.

Good points;

Mert. Big cowardly vagina that he is 99% of the time, credit where credit is due, he was good yesterday and particularly when Dogbreath came on. Yeah - I know, it's a 37 year old and well past it Dogbreath but no matter, Mert put the cúnt in his pocket. 8)

Monreal and Bellarin. They have got to be first choice now. I like Deboochy but he is not match fit and should now have to earn his place back. Gibbs is not half the defender or attacking back that Monreal is.
