Monaco must be pissing themselves in anticipation of this lot. Christ.

Funny thing is, all our fans cheered when we got them. Unaware that somewhere in a tax haven, the Monaco team were doing the exact same when they saw the name "Arsenal" come out the hat! :lol:
Monaco is a banana skin. They don't ever attack, disciplined and their games always usually end 0-0 or 1-0 either way. They scored just 5 group stage goals FFS and still qualified :shock:
So if Leicester are "a very good team", I'm
Intrigued to see what Le Grand Moron will have as a tactical plan for a super-disciplined defensive team :rubchin:

Koscielny's finish is being quite underrated. To keep that ball on the floor and inside the post first time off a corner is some great technique.

Also thought Walcott's finish was nice, just because of the quick reaction and he usually fluffs things like that. True to form though, he messed up a chance later in the half when he was clear through and didn't back himself to outpace the defender and slot pass the keeper so he passed. WTF.

Theo finishes well when he doesnt have time to think about it. When he has time and space he fucks it up more often than not.

Happy with the three points tonight but not much else to be positive about, in what was an awful performance. Its hilarious looking at our squad at the amount of quality we have, and yet we constantly see them putting in awful performances against weaker opposition. Im really worried for Sunday now.

Flat track bully mode fully engaged albeit we barely won.

We'll come top 4 and Wenger will trumpet the fact we came from 8th to 4th and pretend it is an incredible feat while the AKB's lap it up.

that's the point of Walcot!!!
Just because he does one or two good things in a game doesn't mean he had a good game. He didn't - again.

^^ This. 100%.

To the lads acting all horrified by Wenger rolling out the same old shite soundbites after a game. Have you watched much football at all during your lives? :lol:

EVERY. SINGLE. MANAGER. DOES. IT. :lol: :roll:

To the AKB sheep that thought the (admittedly brilliant) win over Citeh heralded a new golden dawn (I said "dawn" Rodders, not "shower", calm down, put that thing away! :wink: ); welcome back to the real world where we scrape a win against the worst team in the PL. Why? Because we have a manager that simply cannot manage at the top level anymore, and we have too many average players, and we have too many players sitting nicely in their comfort zones. :|

We're 4th until just after 9.30 tonight which means I still have 13 hours left to celebrate with the league table in one hand and a tub of Vaseline in the other

ONE...

Exact same as Robbie Keane..give him time to think and he is lost.

I had a good seat last night - it was fairly easy to get a ticket as so many ST holders stayed away

it is only when you get up close to the players though do you realise how little effort our lot put in.
I dont believe there was even an attempt at a game plan last night. I imagine Wenger just said to them go out and play your stuff and at half time probably said keep going.
I can't believe Sanchez stayed on as long as he did. If he is out long term then I will be furious.
in the first half our physio went on to treat him and when he returned Wenger didnt even acknowledge him - wouldnt it have been an idea to ask how he was?
At the end it was just total embarrassment - we were desperately hanging on against the bottom club at home and Wenger clearly didnt have a clue about what to do. It is not as if we even played some reserves. This was the first team out in force with numerous "superstar" players against effectively a Championship outfit. Surely another manager could have done better than what I had to sit and endure last night?
