Wigan Game Thread

[mcdowell42]

Well played wigan totally deserve their win were better all over the pitch.Theo ramsey gervinho when he came on absolute rubbish how people can come on here and defend theo and ramsey amazes me.Theo went hiding ramsey sideways backwards passing and dont forget the obligatory backheel that never works for him but fuck ill try it anyway.If someone comes in with abid for theo bite their hand off 6 years and only minimal improvement.

[Rosie_titters]

Apart from Rosicky and Vermaelen the rest were shit

i would hate to be in the trenches with Walcott and Gervinho

[LDB]

Theo, Ramsey, song just fuck off. Rosicky played well first half but faded second. Without arteta our midfield is rank average. Alot of know-nothing pundits think song is what holds our midfield together- like fuck he is.

About the attitude- I don't know how many times these wenger babies need to be taught this lesson but it's getting very boring now.

[STLgooner89]

How shit was Song? How was he ever labelled a "defensive midfielder?" His "defense" consists of standing flat footed and hip checking guys to earn yellow cards and putting his hands behind his back and shuffling side to side before someone dribbles past him.

We will never win anything while Walcott is our starting right winger. You don't see united playing a striker with no footskills or dribbling ability out wide. They have Young, Valencia, and Nani. Guys who take players on and send good crosses in. Walcott just stands there if he's being contained and waits for Sagna to overlap him.

[phil_mitchell]

wheres that ramsey thread at? wheres all the defenders of this pos now? one of the worst performances by a CM i have ever seen.

theo fuck off.

ONE RYAN SHAWCROSS, THERES ONLY ONE RYAN SHAWCROSS

I hope your joking . *word censored*.

Ramsey is still an Arsenal player. Its not his fault he's shit, blame wenger

was only irony...(you mug)....the amount of stick he getting though anyone would think he a spud

[g88ner]

Jesus wept, that was poor.

The unprofessional attitude at the start of the game was just unforgivable

We didn't give Citeh that much space and we won't give Chelsea that much next week, so why Wigan? why dismiss their threat as an attacking force so readily?? that sort of arrogant attitude has cost us so many times in recent years, yet even with a bunch of players who have won fuck all, they still can't remain grounded and give EVERY game the respect it deserves. Disgusting.

And what an uninspiring midfield performance that was as well... Ramsey's confidence/ability has totally gone, Gervinho has got worse and worse as the season has gone on, and Theo was a ghost yet played 90 mins (or 0 mins, whichever way you look at it )

Maddening thing is though, unlike tonight, I bet we give Chelsea more respect and take the game seriously from the very first minute.

Really poor.

[augie]

I'm sorry but wenger has no fcuking tactical plan, no concept of who is shit and who is not, has no idea who to bring in and has no fcuking class about himself the way he behaves on the sidelines There is not a day that goes by that I dont wish he doesnt just fcuking f**k off out of our club

Walnut showed again tonight why he is not worth 50k per week much less 100k - take away the ball inbehind the opposition defence and he has nothing to offer. He is unable to create something out of nothing, no ability to take players on with skill but is the best player at going awol when the chips are down that I have ever seen.

Have I said lately that song is a brainless useless pile of shiiite ? Clueless going forward, abysmal in the tackle and positionally awol as per normal. Cannot for the life of me understand why wenger keeps putting him at centre back when he brings on a midfielder - if he is contributing fcuk all in midfield then get him off the pitch altogether

Hats off to wigan though - they battled hard, worked their socks off and I really hope that they stay up. Their manager is a football purist and tonight they played from the back on almost every kick out

[Perryashburtongroves]

Utter shit and pathetic. Nothing else to say.

[Rosie_titters]

lets move on, silly comment, even either said in Irony

but don't get personal on here, a bad result, but lets move on and beat Chelsea on Saturday

[Macca]

Yes a game we expected to win easy , especially after we thrashed them in December , but look at their record, 2 defeats since January winning away at Scousers and us and at home to Utd , only losing to last second goal at Chelski ??
They're no mugs, they played well tonight, defensive-obviously when 2v0 up so early, but we couldn't find a way through.
Ramsey should not have played, Benny should have started central,Gervinho waste of space, Walcott missing, Santos tried as did the others, so it cries out what we've been saying all season that we NEED another striker and creative midfielder, as well as Wilshire.
So keep faith, 5 points ahead of deflated Scum , Chelski at home on Saturday, so lets get behind them !!!

btw...What time does the 12 Pins open Saturday ???

[Chippy]

I've given him a warning. Pretty sure he's a troll.

[corkbarry]

At least one half of North London will sleep happier in their beds tonight
Sunday night we were having a great time quoting the Spud comments on glory Glory ,this thread reads exactly the same except for different names. Will we ever learn to respect other teams abilities.

[mcdowell42]

5 pts ahead of scum but played a game more

[StuartL]

Well played Wigan - could easily have been 1-3.
The big difference for me was they had energy and defended in numbers, while we strolled about with no urgency or desire after all its only little old Wigan isn't it

side issue I guess but who of our players would you back to win a 50 / 50 tackle ?
I would back Sagna and TV5 the rest would bottle it half heartedly or in some cases not even attempt it at all.

Didn't create anything of note in 2nd half - no tempo, no guile or creativity just a lot of 5 - 10 yard passes to someone else to pass the buck.

RVP was very ordinary this evening, strangely tried to play Rosicky and Walcott in rather than beat his man and shoot when he had half a chance.

Same old Arsenal

[donaldo]

Wenger is the manager who cant motivate this bunch of multi millionares to play against lesser opposition.We have not done the double over any of the bottom 5 teams yet all he does is moan at the 4th official.Wigan totally deserved their win

So many shit players tonight but Santos Ramsey Song and Walcott stand out a mile.They are not good enough
