Schalke 04 champions league

[Macca]

Gervinho - embarrassing performance and diving, he needs to go.
Ramsey - didn't even know he was on the pitch, until his first play after 10 mins was giving the ball away, first of many!
Santos - Nearly Christmas so lets stuff him off to Turkey as he played like one.
Mannone - His nose gave a defo pen in 1st half, it and he are liabilities.
Glad the Yank was there to watch, he must be thinking 'thank fuck I don't come and watch this shit often!'.
I'm glad we lost and played shit...pressure on to change/succeed/spend?? ??
I knew there was reason my inner self said 'save yourself for Saturday' so I stayed at home.

May 2014. May The Lord see fit to spare me to see the day we are rid of the gormless fuckwit in charge.

Nice to see Ivan and Stan having a cosy chat

"Jeez Ivan who are these guys in red, they suck"

"Err...that's Team Arsenal, Stan"

"Oh, shall we take one year off Arsene's new contract - say to 2019 only?"

Not a prayer mate - I'm already waiting to piss my pants when the extension to 2017 gets announced

I'll get myself committed if that happens.

Don't give a fuck about the implications of losing the game because we will still qualify and get embarrassed by a good European team.

Am annoyed that I wasted two hours of my life on that dross, along with Saturday two of the most insipid performances I've ever seen. Fucking embarrassment.

There were literally no positives at all tonight on the footballing side. And I'm not accepting "Jenkinson was good again though" because as much as I love the guy the fact he's no longer a perennial calamity is hardly a sign of progression for a supposedly top club. Hopefully it will place a bit more scrutiny on Wenger and the board ahead of the AGM but I don't doubt it'll be another whitewash from the club.

People on here get carried away with the general forum sentiments and forget that there were very muted signs of disapproval tonight, and that Kroenke and Gazidis sat chummy in their executive box and the fans directed nothing towards them.

Its inevitable mark my words. Even exit at the Group stage of the Boreathon League and a 6th place finish won't change anything. He works for two individuals without a clue of how to run an English football club, without a connection worthy of the name and totally under his spell.

He still makes Kroenke money, and trousers 6-7m for himself. Its a mutual winner, so he's going nowhere.

Who cares about the score sheet lads, it's all about the balance sheet.

[Natural Born Gooner]

Arsenal assistant manager Steve Bould: "The result knocked us. We haven't looked our best since the international break. We looked like we're lacking a bit of confidence. If we escaped with a 0-0 draw we would have been delighted. We're not making many chances and that's a concern. It looks like we're lacking confidence on the ball and that's unusual. We looked a bit tired and jaded."

Well well! Same excuses, just coming out of a different persons mouth.

Jurgen Klopp anyone?

There are far far too many c.u.n.t.s in our club nowadays and that is from the owners, the managers/coaches and right down to the players and I wish they would all fcuking well fcuk off out of our club

Obviously I am not blaming the akb per se but they have certainly created an enviroment within our club that tolerates failure and in some cases actually rewards it (bumper wage increases) and this has allowed wenger, kroenke, gazidas and the players to operate without any accountability for their failures. Every excuse that man can come up with has been used but the financial restraints excuse surely has to be blown out of the window now ? Losing to teams like norwich who havent a fraction of our wealth cannot be blamed on a lack of resources. Losing to a team like schalke who are run efficently and dont have a wealthy benefactor also makes a mockery of the argument that we are only being held back by an artificial market and that when FFP is introduced we will rule the world If the akb still refuse to recognise what is happening under their nose then they are either very blind or very stupid and either way they are doing a great disservice to the status and prospects of our football club if they continue to make excuses for these c.u.n.t.s. Arsenal Football Club has been in existence for well over a century now - we have had many successful spells in our history and the club didnt collapse and die when those managers left the club. We will survive when the fcuks off and we will come back to the top of the game again but the longer he stays in charge the harder it will be to return to the glory days as we continue to slide. If the man really cares for this club as he claims then he would recognise that the club needs a change in direction now and fresh faces are needed so he should accept that his time is now gone and just fcuk off

I will finish with this statement that I believe in 100% - if he left in the morning he would leave behind a team far far inferior than the team he inherited when he joined our club

Augie - that is my overwhelming point about choice of manager - has the club progressed.

Wenger inherited strikers Bergkamp, Wright, Hartson - would you rather have them or Giroud, Chamakh, Gervinho

He inherited the best back four EVER assembled - we are now playing with Santos and Jenkinson (calm down people, he's OK, but no Lee Dixon) at full backs

He inherited David Seaman - people jizz off about Lehmann but he wasn't in the same class and was Wenger's best GK signing. What about the current crop of shite?

The midfield GG left behind was dire but I have to Ramsey is giving his best David Hiller impression right now. If he starts nicking people's luggage the transformation will be complete

Wenger inherited Seaman Dixon Adams Bould Keown Winterburn Parlour Merson Wright and Berkamp who would all walk into the present team.But if you listen to the AKB's Arsenal were nothing pre 1996

[Bradywasking]

Bouldy knows..take off a fast defender and leave the one who was panting after 25 minutes on for the whole game...Ramsey, Gervinho please join Arsene on the way out... This team is a shambles. Cazorla will begin to wonder what the fuck he came here for and I wouldn't blame him . Of course the two goals were scored by players who could/should have joined us, but we have money in the bank. Stan saw it first hand and his concern will be the empty seats not the empty promises. He has an AGM tomorrow and a St Louis game Sunday. St Louis are training at the Arsenal training ground, nice to see the various strands of Stan's empire helping each other out.
In two games against opposition that ranged from poor to average we have had two shots on target.Despite a combined total of 85 minutes remaining in those two games we were beaten once we conceded in both games. Our early season hope is gone and we are looking at the reality of being also rans again. We don't have the quality, the conviction or the manager with vision to change that. In terms of the 2012-13 Champions League tonight's result is actually irrelevant, we will qualify because the other two teams are rubbish. Then we will get beaten by a half decent team in the knock-outs. But Arsene will point to our continuous qualification for the knock out phase as success.
