Olympiakos at home.

I wish CL games were an option rather than part of the 7 cup credits. Absolute waste of time and money year in year out. Reduce the number of cup credits. Make ST cheaper and CL an option purchase for ST holders. But it would never happen with the money grabbing bastards. I never go i always sell mine if i can. Pity the poor git in my seat for Bayern.

Cant wait to get this CL competition out of the way so we can concentrate on finishing 4th and qualify for the..............

oh yea.

What a classy move by Le Tool. When BT questioned his team selection and Ospina in particular, he gets shirty and says
"Cech also made a big mistake earlier this season"
Slating his own player to save his own skin.

Monaco last season
3-3 Anderlecht
8-2 at OT
That record v Jose
5-1 Anfield
6-0 on his 1000th game
6-3 Citeh
Defeats back to back at Zagreb and home to the Greeks

Ancelotti is free. GET HIM IN!!!!

Did he really say that ??? It is nothing short of a fcuking disgrace if he pointed the finger at cech's previous mistake tonight, and if I was cech I would absolutely chin the b*stard Can you imagine the moaning portugese w*nker throwing one of his players under the bus like that ? You have to wonder how much longer the dressing room will support him - the reason why they haven't turned on him to date is because he doesn't buy leaders who would think nothing of challenging him, but cech is an experienced respected player and if he turns then others will follow

The result tonight doesn't really bother me one way or another tbh and I still think that we will finish 2nd purely cos the other teams are shite and we will beat them in the return games, although obviously we will have to take at least 1 point from Bayern. Nothing will change because of this match. Nothing will change if we don't qualify from the group. Nothing will change if we don't even make the Europa league. Le cock will still come out with his bullshit patronising comments. The smarmy yank b.stard will continue to allow him to screw us over. The akb wankers will continue to suck his cock at every opportunity. Nothing ever changes in wenkertown

Yup Augie, said Cech has also made mistakes this season! It's on BT Sport watch it online again...
The players "turn on him"? You mad? Look there's a reason he's systematically got rid of all string characters:
Remember RVP burning him for subbing Ox off at home to ManYoo? Sold.
Remember Cesc going on about wanting to win titles and wanting to sign bigger players? Sold.
Remember Nasri questioning the club's ambition? Sold.

What you're now left with is this collection of pussies:

Gibbs. A buffoon who's not improved one bit in years. On a rumoured £60k a week.
Ospina: a mediocre clown, on about £50k a week.
Giroud: a poor man's Charlie fucking Austin, £130k a week
Mertesacker: an immobile Pussyhole who got humiliated by Monaco and has no desire, admitted he'd "lost motivation" when returning from warming the bench at the WC: captaincy and £100k a week contract renewal.
Arteta: an OAP who can't ***** without getting injured, £80k a week and another year!
Flamini: a mediocre reject booted out of mid-table AC Milan and was without a club, £50k a week
Coquelin: a kid that looked decent for 5 months, long-term deal, £80k a week.
Ramsey: 1 good season and nothing ever before or after, £120k a week.
Mesut Ozil: has been a joke in EVERY big game, on over £160k a week, his agent moaned for a day, gets offered new mega-deal
Calum Chambers: spends his time posting shite on Twitter, couldn't defend a sand-castle, couldn't get in the S'oton team: £60k a week
Ox: another idiot who spends his life on social media, on a fat contract, does lots of BT ads though so it's ok!



Seriously just look at that collection of fucksticks. Which self-respecting big club, anywhere, would pay that kind of money to that kind of shite?

Wenger speaks after the game...

Havent time to listen to it now, but I did see clips of it on the sky sports news and I was immediately encouraged by the sight of his smiling face sneering down at the questions being asked by the hacks

The part I liked best was when he was questioned about why he didn't pick cech and how the fans would feel about his decision......he responded by saying that "I know a lot of things that you don't" - what a grade a W*NKER

[augie]

Have to say that ospina was poor tonight and was lucky he didn't concede from a set piece earlier in the first half (although our centre halves were equally culpable there), but to blame this result on the decision to pick him ahead of cech is absurd We conceded THREE goals of which he was at fault for ONE........why is this defeat being placed at his feet more than any of the other players ? We had a team of useless c*nts (bar sanchez) who don't give a flying fcuk about us or the club as long as their generous pay cheques continue to come through, and the blame for this farce should be divided amongst the lot of them cos there is certainly enough blame to go around

Btw for those who haven't already heard, our polish keeper did not have a good night tonight either, and was especially bad for one of the goals he conceded

For me it's more that it sends the wrong message. This is the CL and we've rotated and pissed around with team selection, and played with an attitude that stank the place out in Zagreb especially.

If Cech is our number 1, he should play. End of. To have a CL keeper and a Premier League keeper simply to try and keep your reserve happy is utter bollocks.

The fact our reserve keeper who shouldn't have been picked dropped a Flappy-munia style clanger just fits the narrative perfectly, but you're right - it's not all his fault.

I actually fancy a shot at the UEFA Cup as the CL is boring. We never look like winning it so who cares. Gutted for Sanchez though; he was immense.

[Leyton Gooner]

What a slapstick comedy of errors that was.

But, I'm afraid I can't rile myself enough to get pissed off about results in this Competition We Can't Win. Maybe if we ever acquired a manager and team that can win it I might feel a bit more involved with it, even if the modern, bloated format is a load of bollocks

Remeber what he said before the game....

Why on earth play a second rate keeper when you've got one of the best in the world on the bench? Utterly bizarre.

I've always defended #Wenger but a group stage exit and no serious title challenge by Xmas should surely equal sacking? #afc #AFCvOLY

At least those Theo and Sanchez scored and very good assist by Theo for the Sanchez goal.

The Ox had his worst game for us, in terrible form.

Wilshere, Welbeck, Rosicky, Flamini, Arteta all injured.

Does anyone think their return will make much difference?

I just cannot stress how poor we were tonight against a slow and un-creative Olympiakos side.

[TeeCee]

One of Wonga's many issues is that he wants to keep players happy. He has a massive ego boost when they talk about him being a 'father figure' or the man behind their career. So he makes sure that average players always get their chance at Arsenal. Not playing your best team in the most lucrative and prestigious tournament is simply astounding, puzzling to the extreme. But of course it is always 'his way' because he answers to no-one. An invisible owner who is not bothered as long as the money is rolling in and a CEO who actually works for the guy UNDER him, not above him!! A crazy f*cked up situation that will ensure turmoil and failure at Arsenal for some time. One thing is absolutely certain, Wonga will never resign, in his extremely warped and narcissistic mind, HE is the light at the end of the tunnel.

[northbank123]

Conceding 3 goals at home to Olympiakos is a shambles. Conceding that third goal within 60 seconds of equalising sums up the complete naivety and lack of direction in this side.

Ospina is far from the only reason we lost the game but the decision gets at me. Wenger was crowing about supposedly signing one of the best around so why does he need to play this complete no-mark in a competition which he has been sacrificing domestic cups for for the last decade? Ospina is hardly a quality keeper who Wenger has to placate by playing 15 games a season. Keepers of his quality are ten a penny and if Ospina won't sit on the bench and have the odd Carling Cup game then Wenger should find somebody who will.

I'm genuinely glad we lost this game. It's been a long time since I looked forward to European games and being demoted into a competition we would actually have a chance of winning might just be worth watching, even though we would do our best to get knocked out by playing the ressies as far as we could. Playing Thursday/Sunday for a while might also knock some sense into a small number of those people who hold our annual February/March CL humiliation as some badge of honour.

[Gooner Jim]

I'm probably on my own here but I dont think Wenger got the team selection wrong tonight, I'm sure when the majority of us saw the team sheet we thought that would be enough to beat Olympiakos at home. I blame the players, I'm a fan of Per but his feeble attempt at a tackle for their third goal was a diisgrace! Ozil was shit, the OX wasnt much better and no one stood out as leader at all!
Their first goal (although given too much space) took a huge deflection and Ospina's mistake for the second was a joke!
Apart from that their keeper made some unreal saves and we missed some sitters! Even though we were shit we still should have won the game.
We need both the olympiakos kiev games to be draws, win our games against them and nick a point from Bayern. Not impossible but far from easy. There's the easy way, there's the hard way and then there's The Arsenal way
