Great management by Wenger the Ox has scored 5 goals in his last 3 games and he didnt even make the bench.

Love the way Walcott jumped on this back as they were leaving the pitch, punching the air - as if we'd won 5 nil. It all smacked of "please like me even though I am totally and utterly useless". He's an embarrassment and should never have remained on the pitch. Roll on the day when he leaves the Club.
FFS i'm not trying to defend the way he plays, but Theo has a great attitude.
More players need to show appreciation to the fans who've paid their hard earned money to watch them.
Great goals from v.Persie
He should concentrate on putting in a half decent performance on the pitch first before doing the "please love me" routine. He is a nice boy but hopless.

The ox is good enough for the euros but cannot even grace our bench, wonder how AW can rationalise that

Yes, but why play someone who is on a roll and has their confidence up when you can play Arshavin? :roll:

Pfffft. Alex Thong and Gervinho are two seriously useless motherfuckers.
Scrape against Sunderland...Larsson was destined to score of course.
Gervinho £11 million LOL
File in the pooh basket next to the £10 mil Koscielny and the £60k a week Chamakh who we can't get rid of as not even Barnet will pay the minimum wages.

Still. We scraped it past an unambitious Sunderland. Let's gloss over the ease with which Mohamady ghosted past Gibbs, Koscielny's horrendous positioning and Alex Fucking Thong.

Thought we were poor in midfield today . So many times the defence had no-one to pass forward to . It was as if no-one wanted to take responsibility
( Arteta apart to some extent ) . Song was either motionless in midfield or trying to play CF. We miss Cesc and JW so much .
Thought PM had a decent game and Kos was ok . AA looked lively for once when he came on but Theo was dreadful throughout.
Can't see us getting anywhere near top 4 this season and not looking forward much to Stoke next week .

The thing that never ceases to amaze me is how, after yet another wayward pass from Song, so many people applaud. Does not matter that the pass goes nowhere near one of our players, people still politely applaud!

Song's passing has reverted to what it was two years ago; shit.

Am also getting a bit sick of TheoTheo moaning at Jencko for not giving him the ball immediately every single time, only to then just fuck the ball away cheaply when Jencko does give it to him. Theo - look to your own game before you start moaning at your team mates you dizzy little twat. :banghead:

We were scrappy, poor in possession and our defense still loves a good old self induced panic.

The game had 3 quality goals but it so easily could have ended 2-2. No offense to our Mackem mate on here, but that is a seriously struggling Sunderland side at the moment and we struggled to scrape a 2-1 at home. :(

I know he is not the cleverest person on the pitch, but are you suggesting he can't concertrate on his game and show respect to the fans at the end of a game.
