Baggies away

[foxinthebox2001]

AW is the most predicatable coach in football, he hoped Flamini could reproduce his 2 goal performance at the Lane.
Failed.
He hoped Gibbs would now turn into a makeshift winger after his fluke goal.
Failed.
Now he hopes he can magic up another Coquelin to save the season.
It will fail.

There is no magic formula, put players in their natural positions
We have wingers as strikers, strikers as wingers, full backs as wingers, central midfielders as wingers, midfielders as full backs. full backs as centre halves, and offensive midfielders in holding roles.
Not yet had a centre half as a holding midfielder.... step forward Chambers.

I remember seeing Cunningham shoot from a corner kick. I thought it was a fluke until I saw that he did it every week when he went to Madrid.

I was distraught, when many years later, I discovered we'd turned him down as a kid.

Stanley Bowles was another who could score from a corner kick, seen him do it at Arsenal, we was murdered but think it finished 2-2 in the end

I was in the east lower for the 2-2 mate in 1974
It was a virtuoso display from bowles but he never scored from a corner
Kidd put us in front
Then bowles let a ball run across his body before smashing past rimmer from the left hand side of the box at the north bank end
Then peter storey who was playing right back brought him down and he scored the subequent penalty
Radford got a late equaliser
We were bottom of the table
The only goal I remember was paddy roach punching in a George Armstrong corner in 1975 in a 3-1 win against man united

Stand corrected...nice one

This is going to drive me crazy now......will have to start my research

all true as above mate.....

A lot of mangers make glaring mistakes but he never learns just keeps repeating them

Fuck knows how he gets away with it though

Coquelin is reportedly out for a minimum of 3 months. Awaiting Wenger's confirmation tomorrow.
4:21pm - 22 Nov 15

At a club with ambition (higher than a top4 finish) this news would mean going after and signing a top class Dm in the January window.At le bumholes Arsenal however this wont be the case,we can expect months of flamini shouting pointing,making fuck ups galore and getting pulled out of position all over the place

My money's on Wenger to recall 18 year-old Zelalem to fill in the void (#InternalSolutions)... your typical Wenger move

Except that Zalalem is an attacking midfielder...

I would expect to see Ramsey and Flamini in there the rest of the way, sadly.

Only seen a fraction of the posts on these threads but seen quite a few people unequivocally stating that Arteta is miles away from being 'up to it'

Fuck me, is that how you form the basis of your opinion, from whats posted on here

most of these guys just re hash old posts/ state the obvious or are wise AFTER the event

there are some exceptions that make worthwhile reading though

Not sure quite how you jumped to me forming my opinions based on posts on this forum from that.

In any event it was a response to the post above claiming that Arteta gets off lightly with criticism.

Perhaps thats how you interpreted it. But nowhere did I "claim that Arteta gets off lightly with criticism"

[Redarmy]

No time for sentiment, he is past it, his tackling is slow, he will give away free kicks like the one at WBA that got them level, he will inevitably cost points.

As is the case with older players, picks up injuries quickly, seems to play one game then he's out for 6 weeks

That said think he's a good guy trying to do job for the team, understand he is on around 80K a week, thats not his fault...but again that goes back to Wenger....add that to his many terrible decisions

The problem with so many of these issues is Wenger and until he leaves nothing will change

Okay, gets off lightly compared to Flamini (or any other variation of nickname )

btw sanchez was fucking phenomenal on saturday - showed absolutely no signs of fatigue and was beating players left right and centre. I think I saw him do 3 albion in a series of dribbles at one point. if only we had someone for him to lay it onto

Yes best player no doubt about it on Saturday, how much longer he will keep going, before he gets injured or just drained

they seemed to have at least 2 players sometimes 3 around him for most of the match.....

How depressing! After watching the first half, I had to go out to see our village Christmas lights turned on in the village. Trying to get BBC updates on and android phone with 2g was not easy. Read, Campbell nearly scored, Sanchez came close and that we were passing the Baggies to death. Then saw that Cazola had missed a pen Took me ten mins after kick off to find out that we'd lost, I knew the score really. A big chance missed to go top, Leicester top - on points.

I don't suppose Vardy is good enough for us, not better than anyone we've got...

Where do you live? The Middle Ages?

It was only a few weeks ago when she was turning lefty on - funnier days it has to be said

wtf casgooners not a man????!!!????

[the playing mantis]

God,Santi Cazorla is the go to man for a pressure penalty.The *word censored* that usually cant beat the first man with corners, or the wall with a freekick.The self-harming just goes on.

Cazorla scored the winning penalty to put us into the fa cup final in 2014 v Wigan
He scored a cracking free kick in that final to get us back into the game as well
He scored all 6 penaltys he took last season including goals to open scoring at west ham man city and crystal palace
The last penalty he missed was in the shoot out at bradford in the league cup
He is having a good season
The jerking of the knee is staggering
He slipped he missed no excuse but Jesus
He is one of ours
You get behind em when things go wrong or you are as bad as the wenger mentality of group hugs when we win and slumped shouldered shrugs when we lose
Some chap named brady took rather a soft penalty at the heysal in 1980 thank fuck the internet wasn't about
Just because people are sick and tired of wenger doesn't mean every time we have a reverse players need to be castigated
He made a fuck up
I, m sure his aware
Get your head up santi
We have a game in the week

not sure i agree. i dont blame him for the pen mis, but imo he is the epitome of what we are now. hes not consistently good, doesnt do much against the big teams, hes decent but not good enough to make a difference for a club with ambitins of more than top 4. if we were chaing a gam eand hes on the bench i dont think many would think oh great cazrlas coming on and he will make a big difference to getting this game back.

hes decent, but flatters to deceive an awful lot. im not digging him out as he seems to care a bit, but if there wasnt so much other averageness palying for us i think he would get a bit more flak.

[Humoresque]

couldn't give a shit about the result but the Coquelin injury effectively ends our season and that is what is so depressing.

amazing to think that not one outfield player in the world could have improved this squad over the summer

don't worry, when Coq comes back it'll be like a 'new signing'

have no fear mate...
