Chelsea (A)

[officepest]

The football we serve up is really difficult to stomach: we are predictable, slow, and worst of all, fucking boring.

I cannot believe that Wanger thinks this sort of trousers-down-away-day-sex-crime is acceptable?

[clockender1]

to be fair, to go to chelsea with no tactics and get a 2-0 loss is a fantastic result for any midtable side.

the chavs didn't really turn up today thankfully, they just sat back and waited for us to give them chances.


no thrashing, no new injuries - its the best we could of hoped for.

AND we are one week closer to May 2017 too. result.

9 points off the top of the table. And even shitty man u and spurs are ahead of us. One arsene Wenger

[SteveO 35]

Anyone still think throwing away the League Cup doesn't matter? 9 points behind and its barely Autumn

[officepest]

Have we done anything at all in the second half, anything?

I've put the chicken in the oven does that count for.something ?

If you kicked it, and if it hit the oven door, then you have had more shots on target than we just did against Chelsea.

[Dan_85]

90 minutes without a shot on target - fantastic. We'll add it to that equally proud day in the Nou Camp

I believe that evening in Barcelona we actually had zero attempts on or off target. Yet still managed to score

nice tackle by wellbeck

Don't blame him. Rosicky fannying about and complaining about Fabregas blocking the ball illegally sums up our utter fucking naivety. Should have just smashed the ball and broken his arm if he needed to.

Our naivety is embarrassing. Time and time again they buy cheap fouls from nothing situations. Towards the end of the first half Welbeck clipped the ball round the corner against Cahill who clipped him on a yellow - if he goes down the ref has a decision to make but instead he stayed on his feet despite no advantage. Oscar went in late on Chambers as he cleared the ball down the line after about 70 minutes - if Chmabers goes down holding his leg it's a guaranteed booking, he doesn't.

We let them slow down every free-kick we had by picking up the ball etc, if a player grabs it out their hand and causes a scene it at least highlights it to the ref. When Wilshere took that heavy touch in the first half he could have thrown himself in and got the ball and smashed Cech who has a habit of bottling collisions. Ball could pop up favourably, Cech could hurt himself and they'd be left without a keeper for an hour. Instead he didn't, definitely worth the risk of a yellow.

This is why we get in Diego Simeone. Anyone. We used to be good at game management in the days of Vieira and Petit.

I actually thought it would be a lot worse today! 2 bits of quality from them won it and once they were in front we were never gonna break them down.
Can't believe Ozil lasted 90 minutes - big players need to turn up in big games and that performance from him was embarrassing!

[Ed Hunter The Gooner]

Yeah well... that was just... numb performance. We produced fuck all during the second half, absolutely nothing. Somehow I don't feel anything as winner team is title contender and we are fighting for 4th place. In that perspective the result is as it should be.

Wenker will moan about the refs probably for the press and sees nothing wrong in our own game. That's probably what the AKB's will moan about too all day long. I fucking despise this victimization that this club is doing nowadays, just blaming everything and everybody else but themselves.

Wenger, please just fuck off!

I make you right Dan.....another fine Wenger achievement. The first team in CL history not to register a single shot. What with the first team in PL history to throw away a 4 goal lead the man really is writing himself into the history of the club in all sorts of new ways

Did you see Santi's reaction when he got taken off? Even the tossers on Sky like Alan Smith were stunned. And as for the poor old Ox he might as well piss off and walk into someone else's team because regardless of how well the lad plays There's Only One relegates him straight to the bench the next game anyway

At least it only took 78 minutes to hear the Chavs singing "Arsene Wenger, we want you to stay" this time

no need,Wenker will win the 4th place trophy this season yet again,you have to start acknowledging success you ungrateful lot,be careful what you wish for!!seriously how can the board and AKB'S stomach our serious underperforming year after year,its just criminal,Wenker is a fraud

[northbank123]

That was the template Mourinho victory over Wenger.

They get a goal (normally from a defensive mistake) in the first half. They sit back in the second half, we cause them absolutely zero trouble. They get a second on the counter or from another defensive error. They coast to victory. We finally muster a decent effort right at the end.

If West Ham win by 2 goals (they are half way there) we will have a Big Sam team above us, when did that last happen?

[in my heart]

I really don't think we will qualify for the CL with the virtual trophy 4th,
Only 2 wins, what a joke
