I really couldn't give a fuck about the CL this year - it's not like we're going to win it. So I'd rather he rests the lads and concentrates on getting 3rd in the league.

I'm slightly disappointed that Ox didn't get a game again, but good to see Vermaelen get through okay.

Wenger: "We lacked a little quality in the final third".

No fucking shit.

Why is he freezing Chamberlain out? After his performance against Olympiakos surely he deserved at least a bench role tonight?

£14 mil for someone who never gets near the first team.

The board are withholding funds from Arsene though remember....

Don't be silly, we played on Sat, again today and then on Sat, our whole season rests on one player staying fit, we are top of the group and got another two chances to seal the group, he had no choice, if Robin gets injured then all hell will break lose.

Make no mistake, this group is in our hands, there is no margin for error in the league and apart from Park it was probably our strongest team given Sagna is out.

A draw is a decent point when you consider how they carved us up at ease in the first 20, Ramsey should have scored and van Persie should have smashed it instead of a chip.

We are still top, it could be worse.

I reckon he's gonna start on Sat, a lot of them looked drained tonight.

The fact that he never made the bench and there's no Cc for a few weeks makes me think that he will start v West Brom.

Usual performance from this average side. A handful of top quality surrounded by averageness, and no leaders this is what you get.

Many of the summer transfers look like poor buys, compared to similar players on the market.

Santos is an upgrade definitely.

Mertesacker looks average, we could have found a better English CB or PL CL back like Samba.

Park looks the marketing purchase he truely is.

Arteta has been the big disappointment. For 10 million anyway he just looks like another Denilson.

Wenger isnt making much mistakes in resting Van Persie, its the fact he has just bought aload of average players means we get average results.

Gutted, I spent £100 on tickets form that shite tonight (took the missus as it went to general sale). Absolute shite.

The good news is, there is someone whom is worse than Chamakh!!!

The bad news is......he also plays for us.......mr Park. No wonder he hasn't had a game, Jesus Christ, no speed, no touch and no positioning what a fucking great buy that was!

We are so shit up front when RVP isn't there we are shafted. He won't stay fit all season and certainly won't get played in the domestic cups (our only chance of a trophy).

Talk about opposites, the majority of that Arsenal team was not in the slightest bit bothered about winning that game in the second half. Disgraceful.

That could cost us big time. If we lose at home to Dortmund, which we are more than capable of doing, we may need to go to Olympiakos and win. Fucking great. :roll:

Maybe if AW hadn't got us into this situation, then he wouldn't be getting criticism for resting him two months into the season.
