Barca bumholing Wednesday 1945

[Thierry 3-8-99]

Steve McManaman now saying on BT that we've got an eye on the Everton game too. As if that's an acceptable reason for waving the white flag and getting humiliated in front of the world.

Can hear it now " well clearly looking at their sixth (just before half-time) we were focussing on the Everton game"

#Arsenal TEAM: Ospina, Bellerin, Koscielny, Gabriel, Monreal, Elneny, Flamini, Iwobi, Ozil, Sanchez, Welbeck

Yep good line up...surprise selection of Iwobi...but given their back four, our pace and power will test them...
Don't know what people on here are crying about...it's the squad we have...a lot of criticism for bfg, giroud, Walcott and Campbell on here so he starts without them and there is still criticism...beginning to think there is more non-supporters on here than actual Gooners...BTW think our bench is quite strong compared to theirs but if you've got messi, Neymar and suarez you don't need anyone else...an early goal for us could see a proper good match...gone for Champions League experience in the midfield and Coquelin's red card at the lane has cost him a starting place tonight. Sanchez time to prove those doubters wrong...

But it's not a good line up is it. Considering we were supposed to be competing with Europe's elite since our move to the hallowed new stadium, we should have a squad to match the very finest teams, not that shower, most of whom, arguably, would fit adequately in to a mid to lower league side in the Prem.

Saving ourselves for a chance to get knocked out again next season!

And then when we inevitably lose to Everton as well...

"Every game from now is a cup final. It's important that we respond well against Watford".

Strategic move by Wenger to convey the message that tonight doesn't really matter, that Barca are the best team in the world, that there's no point trying to compete with them, and that he can't be judged on tonight's result.

Newly-appointed club 'yes man' Ian Wright is already towing the club line on BT Sport by stating that Everton away on Saturday is our real big game of the week, and that tonight's not particularly important.

Wenger actually referred to the barcwhores front line as "Magicians" - How to inspire your own players and prepare them for a game that could leave both them and us emotionally & mentally scarred for years to come - just remember the 8 - 2 at old fartford.

I still go cold remembering that.

WENGER OUT!

[Thierry 3-8-99]

see it's raining there - will the added moisture help the expected bumholing?

Wenger: "We lost the first game because we didn't take our chances. We've beaten Barcelona before".

Yeah, once in about thirty attempts!

WENGER OUT!

Even when he was asked about the Barca game in the interview after the Watford game, his first line was, "Barcelona, the best team in the world..."

As if he has to qualify that and make excuses before we've even turned up.

[OneBardGooner]

He really is delusional...FFS - Imagine if he was manager of a football team - he would .....aahh yesss uhmmmm

[Brady's left peg]

So why exactly is Wanker playing Iwobi... oh yeah I remember so the youngsters confidence is totally destroyed at a young age when we get torn apart tonight. well done Wanker... well done!

[g60gooner]

This will be me tonight

How far in to the game will we have to wait for some tit pics as a bit of a pick-me-up diversion Barry? I assume you already have a few lined up mate?

No point crying about the squad tonight...wenger should've sorted it out before the season started...so, with the current squad of fit players, it is a good line up...consider Cech, Cazorla, Ramsey would certainly start if fit, and wilshere, rosicky and chamberlain would be on the bench if fit...but it is what it is...we still have Ozil, Sanchez who are world class, just need to show it. Wouldn't be surprised if Theo scores if he comes on...

[Nos89]

Seems people forget a better Arsenal team than this current team, got routed by a Barcelona team that wasn't as good as this one at Wembley back in '99...if I remember we were favourites to win that after a draw in the Camp Nou...

[g60gooner]

Seven minutes till kick off, ten minutes till I kick the cat up the arse.
