Swansea H Wed 2nd 1945

[xisstential]

We will win tonight, do not think we will play well though

As for Scum at the weekend lets see what happens, praying they can work a miracle but realistically when you look around the dressing room and see people like Walcott, Ramsey and Giroud these are not the type you want alongside you in the trenches....

Think they will be up against it....the unthinkable edges nearer...someone has to suffer for that

Yea us... every single day

"There are Tottenham and Manchester City in the race to fight for the title and there is little Leicester to fight against them," said the Italian.
Quote from Ranieri last night. Obviously he isn't quaking in his boots about Arsenal. To the real challengers in this title race we are an irrelevance. We need a convincing win tonight but That probably wouldn't turn us into genuine contenders.Wenger Out!

Now a really decent manager would take that article, make copies, enlarge them and stick them on the dressing room walls. Use it to fire up his team, see boys they think we're irrelevant, lets go out and show them.... Not him though, probably read it, lip curled in a sneer, how many times has Ranieri qualified for the CL?? Or he probably knows deep down that Ranieri is right... but not now, not now,let the little managers worry about domestic titles, we have an appointment at the Nou Camp.

[slevinlacey]

1 nil down but come back with a late equaliser for a credible draw. Block 5 sing 'three little birds" and clap the fully committed team.

It has to have something to do with the way the press treat him. There is no other explanation for such blind arrogance. If after the shameful failures following the numerous chances we have had to cement or improve our position, the press really got hold of him and took him to task it would shake him out of his lazy complacency. Instead week after week, year after year, he gets such an easy ride irrespective of the result that he is genuinely deluded to the point where he must believe we are just so lucky, so fortunate, so blessed to have him. The press and our very own fans have created this monster.

The press protect him, of course. He'll talk about global football, politics and current affairs, but he won't discuss why he makes the same mistakes every season, yet somehow earns £970 every hour.

If we needed 25 of the 30 points to qualify for CL,we would get them, of that I have no doubt. Inexplicably it seems to be the ONLY thing Wenger can get the players up for. Winning to go top, to strengthen our position, to put pressure on our competition.....Nah, couldn't be bothered. Or as the Great Man himself says "Difficult to motivate them for this game" Yet somehow he could get his team to play barefoot on broken glass to secure a CL place. Now you tell me it's not all about him.And also how insanely skewed his priorities are.

B-but we're holders of the 'Eighteen Seasons of Qualification for the Be All and End All' virtual trophy

From now until the end of the season the players should just get on with it themselves.
We all know wenger is a waste of oxygen nowadays...so surely the players do.
If this bunch of pussies got together and decided they could actually win the league, we might just stand a chance.
I fully expect them to have enough about them to win tonight (which ever team is selected)...unfortunately I fully expect them to bottle it at the shit hole on Saturday.
3-1 to The Arsenal.

You think this bunch of pussies could do it themselves, like the teams of 96-06 clearly did?

TOF has done well to breed that fighting spirit and toughness out of our squad totally. They don't have enough backbone to do it themselves

It's the lack of overall player management that will cost us this year. The league is a mess and it's our best chance in a decade. Wenger is treating the team with kid gloves. You have to adapt sometimes to get over the line.

The lack of overall player management has cost us every season since 2008

I just wish this season was over already - no more bottling, no more talk about great mentality, no more talk about transfer war chests (the season tickets will have been renewed by then) and no more fear that I am about to suffer the darkest day in my 40 years as a Gooner

And you know it's bad when you're ending up actually looking forward to international football

Don't worry only have to wait another 14 days, by March 16th the season could well be over. Hang in there...

It may even be a little later than usual for our 'End of season'

We're looking to reclaim our 'Knocked out of everything inside two weeks' VT

according to Wenger on the website this morning
"Football is a pleasure. We should not forget that"

It's certainly NOT a pleasure to see his slow and shite sideways football season after season. It's fucking torture

A turgid nil-nil draw that is topped off by Wanker blaming the fans for making the players feel on edge and some bollox about how he didn't want to make a change because he feared how the fans would react.

Sounds like you've seen this film before

Very nervy 2-1

Is there any other way that we win these days?

Ouch.

He's right though. Anyone with a brain and a pair of eyes has written us off. TOF and the players are soft as shite

Now a really decent manager would take that article, make copies, enlarge them and stick them on the dressing room walls.

Not TOF. He's not even a football manager anymore. He's a shit finance director who has gotten above his station.

Altogether now; Ommmmmmmmmm

Here's how I see it, for those remotely interested, but I did call the West Brom draw last night in the Utd thread, a few days ago....

Spurs are by no means favourites if you look at their fixtures, Liverpool, Chelsea, Stoke, not to mention West Ham tonight and a tricky fixture on Saturday (hopefully). Add to that Dortmund home and away, that's some daunting games, and once one or two injuries occur, as they surely will, the wheels could come off.

Tonight should be straightforward, maybe 3-0, I think the players are so pissed off they're going to grab the Swans by their long neck and splatter them all over the place.

Leicester will blow it, even if they get points from their next few games, their last three fixtures are nasty.

My greatest worry is Man C, but hopefully the CL will do for them, something we maybe don't have to worry about, though I will be having a sneaky punt on 1-3 in the Nou Camp, maybe at 18-1. Nice.

Could all be very different at 10pm this evening....

[Kvltman]

massive night tonight - especially after the Leicester result yesterday.

if Spurs are going to drop points then this next couple of weeks when they still have to contend with Europa League games will be when they are going to drop them. a win for us and a draw for them would set up a momentus NLD.

By the way has Wenger ever beaten Pochettino in a league game?

Not as Spurs manager but he did when Pochettino was Southampton boss, 2-0 win in November 13 (guess what we were top of the league back then too! )

#Arsenal XI to face #Swans: Cech, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Gabriel, Monreal, Coquelin, Ramsey, Campbell, Alexis, Ozil, Giroud.

Those frankly absurd odds probably come with a free sectioning for anybody willing to lump on that scoreline.
