But your mate Sanogoal will fix that soon enough.
He must have heard "1-0 to the rugby team" and Wenger telling him to get us the 3 points and thought he'd go for a drop goal. Swing low, indeed.

Very fair assessment. This team is about where it should be and we will end up where we deserve.

Correct, people say we only have Bendtner and Sanogo as back up to Giroud therefore we cannot win the league.
More like we have Giroud as our main starting striker and that fact alone is enough evidence to suggest we cannot win the league,
And of course that is one mans fault so as I have said before WENGER OUT.
What was most disspiriting is that for a team a point off the top with ten games to go we at not one single moment looked like we would win the game. The result left me angry rather than disappointed. Four points off the top flatters us massively.
Lets be fair on wenger..he started the season with no marquee signings..i even think he only bid for saurez knowing liverpool would say sod off to placate us..he then panics after the villa game and buys ozil..we punch above our weight and here we are..does anyone see points from the chelsea n spuds games? I really dont see it..

Did Wenger not say on Sky Sports after the game that 2 or 3 times in the first half we shot when we should have passed?
Dunno NB, whenever he (Wenger) speaks I either leave the room or mute the tele/radio.
I just cannot listen to him anymore.
No idea if he actually said that, but I'd maybe agree with him on that.
Thought Santi should have played in Podolski twice instead of going for goal. But if that's one of the major things Wenger's taken away from today's game then fucking hell. Granted, like most managers, he's always gonna pick something more trivial to publicly focus on rather than the actual major problems on display, but still. All that's gonna happen now is we'll be even less likely to have a pop at goal.

I just don't understand the decision to drop Oxlade-Chamberlain. Bad result, the title whilst still possible in terms of points looks unlikely now unless we break the recent dire form in the big games.
Hate losing to this lot as well, still as classy as ever under Hughes as they were with Pulis.

To be honest despite his miss I thought he looked better than Giroud when he came on.
Anyway as the old adage goes you're only as good as your weakest link and Giroud would be lucky to start for fucking Villa. He's utter *****.
Can I just say something to those with rosé colored specs on.......Wally would not have made much of a difference today. The 4-5-1 system is absolutely screwing us over regardless of the personnel and the slow laboured gameplan would not have changed no matter who started. Hughes is smart enough to know that sitting your defence deep against Wally by and large negates him so I don't see where he would have changed it. If he played him up front alongside Giroud in a 4-4-2 system then he might have torn them a new one but playing wide in this system would have done fcuk all and that's not me having a pop at him
Unfortunately wake me up Yaya Sanogo = the next Gervinho.
Wenger will persist and persist playing him to prove he is smarter than everyone else. But while Wenger is proving what a clever genius he is by playing Sanogo we will be dropping points and everyone and his dog knows Sanogo is not up to it.
Bad team selection: Arteta the snail starting before Flamini at Stoke of all places,Our only hardman on the bench.How was the Ox not starting pace and width
Attitude: Lets not beat about the bush Stoke are shit.But what you do know is they will battle something you cant say about Wenger's pussies.If i had a pound for ever time Wilshere ended up on the deck from the slightest touch i could retire tomorrow.
The Attack(Or lack of it):Podolski got paid £90k for that today i say no more.And Giroud is saving himself for the bedroom tonight.When will the penny drop with our fans he is not good enough never was never will be.
The Clueless One:The lack of tactics,The lack of pace in the team,the lack of width,the lack of a goalscorer all down to the manager
Two oafs in the same donkey suit. Best you could say about Sanogo is perhaps today Giroud was the back end.
