The look of distress on his face when they equalised was priceless, :barscarf: the arrogant smirk of a few months ago gas long gone and I'm sure he has turned 2 shades greyer in the last week. :lol:
Fuck him!!!!!!!!

Wenger reaches a new low in his tactical ability.

to see out a match against relegation fodder he brings on Sanogo and Kallstrom.
it is really quite sad to see how far we have fallen.

The players were shells.
Couple of goals then we looked revitalised, only for a comical error at the end.

But Swansea were there for the taking, they looked as heavy legged as their Rugby League style shirts suggested.

4th is now in doubt.


You say comical error and maybe the end of it was (ie the actual deflection) but the rest of the move wasnt - yet again, just as happened in the home game v bayern, flamini has let a man run off his shoulder and it has cost us a goal. Muller did it for bayerns 2nd (the header) and last night little britain ( :wink: ) played a one two and flamini was caught on the wrong side and was duly punished (albeit in a flukey way)

Ginger scholes absolutely tore us apart last night after the match on sky - he stopped short of actually naming wenker as the problem but he did say that we send 5 midfielders onto the pitch with no structure and basically allow them free reign to do as they please. God love scholes, he aint the most articulate guy in the world, but everything he said was bang on the money - he spoke about a lack of leaders, a lack of physical power and a lack of courage so kudo's to the man for being straight out and telling it like it is (neville was visibly shocked :lol: )

To get a draw against a team that began the night only 4 pts above the relegation zone. You must be mighty proud Arsene.
The only way now to shift this clown is finishing 5th, and I hope City get a hatful on Saturday.
We could have 2 big days, win the FA cup, then hear he has walked away.
The FA cup won't be enough to save him, but it will end the trophy drought.


Have a bad feeling about the cup. Most seem to think its a given. Uwe Rosler is tactically very good. He will watch us and see our weaknesses and set about exploiting them.
Our manager hasn't a clue about tactics so with teh slippery slope we're on, this is the car crash waiting to happen.

Even if we do beat Wigan, probably facing Hull with another tactically aware manager, is a defeat waiting to happen.

Wenger out. Your days are done

Augie, if we are not in the top 4 when we play Wigan,(which we won't be) I will bet my left fucking testicle that they beat us.
We are about to witness a Wenger teams greatest ever capitulation, one which will make all his thus far record breaking defeats and surrenders pale in to insignificance.

Sid, I will cry tears like never before, but I am expecting wenkers new contract to be announced in the next 10 days - this announcement will be seen as a way to solidify our mentally weak players and put an end to the uncertainty that is hanging round at the mo. This will in turn relax the players who will know that their cushy no pressure to win trophies jobs, are secure for another few years and we will then take the mighty wigan to the cleaners :roll:

there is absolutely no chance that Wenger's contract will be announced in the next month!

back to last night there appeared a lot of empty seats - I was in the Clock End and there were 2 full rows completely empty and cordoned off. anyone know why this was?

Perhaps the tourists decided to take in a show instead after our poor showing against Chelsea?

This is an interesting point, of which I cannot say for certain.
From my seat, it seemed that the players took a long time talking to the bench when Kallstrom came on.
They were pointing and seemed uncertain as to where to play, how to line up.
I put this down to Kallstrom's reported lack of English, so being unable to instruct the players as he came on.

But It did make me wonder just how much the others knew about Kallstrom, that they did not appear to know where he would play and where they were supposed to play to accommodate his introduction.

I cannot criticise the players for checking with the bench over this, they needed to know and made sure they did so.
But it made me fear for the last ten minutes.

DO IT.
You know Dortmund sell their best players every summer (or let them leave on a free), have huge injury problems and are 25 points off the league leaders right? Sounds a bit too familiar.

it does make you wonder if it was a block booking that had given their tickets back.
It was odd though - I have seen whole rows empty before but never 2 whole rows clearly cordoned off and a marshall sat at either end to make sure no one sat in them - they were in a prime position right behind the Clock End goal.

I felt a bit sorry for the supporters sat at the top of the upper tier who could have sat there instead.
