WEST HAM HOME THREAD

[markyp]

Not the ideal start we wanted. Cannot see how we will fail to score......still another half to go don't press panic buttons yet.

judge him in may when 4th is firmly in our grasp

I'd say Jose is dancing around his sitting room

Keeper at fault for the goal no doubt but absolutely nobody marking the West Ham player as he ghosts into the box. Conceding from fucking set pieces time and time and time again

It just makes all the preseason optimism laughable, really. All this "second half of last season" form is bollocks. We may still win this of course, but the same issues are evident: pedestrian tempo, arrogant start from the team thinking they just had to show up, fans believing this would be a stroll... watch Mertesacker on that goal - what's he still doing starting games at the club after the Monaco fiasco? Why did West Ham slice Arsenal open in midfield 5 mins after the goal - where was "Makelele" Coquelin? My favourite topic: Giroud has now gone over 570 mins without a PL goal

But it's ok, cos Arsene claims Arsenal don't need Benzema as "the game has evolved". Yep it has - shame Arsenal are stuck with a dinosaur in the dugout

Told my eldest son before kick off, that we would win either 3-0 or 4-0 and the only hope they had of scoring against us was from a set piece

How many points a season is Cech worth again? Just wondering...

Who was marking Kouyate? Where was Koscielny?

[LeftfootlegendGooner]

I'm just glad its cricket season still and we have won the Ashes and the team I play for are going to get promoted cos this football is depressing

Not to worry. Just 20 mins to go until we make a sub to try and turn things around

[officepest]

Cazorla, Ramsey, Wilshere, Özil, Ox: most of our midfielders are far too similar in style and stature, thus we do not have enough variation to our play.

At times, we are worryingly easy to play against.

[Riotof91]

Coquelin has been so shit i'd rather have Arteta in there. actually that's an insult to Arteta, at least he wouldn't have given the ball away so much.

Anyone who thinks we're set at DM with those two is smoking crack.

& You know you've got it horribly wrong tactically if it's Giroud having to provide the width.

Cech has had a nightmare too. Moureen is fucking laughing.

[Zimgooner]

Jesus......holy fuck

[GoonerN5]

Useless wankers

[rodders999]

Brutal from Ox

TURNIP OUT

[shu]

You are having a fkin laugh

[officepest]

Mauro Zarate? FFS.

Schoolboy defending; basic lasck of concentration.

Oh well, at least we'll be treated to yet another Wenger trolley dash.

Thank fuck for the cricket.
