Amen. The guy is the biggest pussy considering his size. The amount of moaning that he does and then has handbags with a Spuds player with time dwindling when Spuds are trying to waste time. Daft idiot. Misses far too many sitters for me. Backup striker and no more than that.


I agree totally about the bit in red, but I wont agree with the rest of it - cazorla and ozil played the game with no urgency and looked like they didn't give a fcuk, coquelin was bitch slapped all day by the scum midfield, sanchez and Campbell contributed nothing but at least giroud showed some heart and tried hard imo

I always hope Wenger will turn it around because he was so good for us. But he just seems to be stubborn and all the same problems roll in every season and nothing is done to address them. Players who seemed to have promise fall by the wayside and don't seem to develop under his management. It's sad.

He was good for the first 8 years, since then he has been a disgrace, he doesnt have the knowhow to turn it around, i wouldnt say its sad because hes such an arrogant prick, hes living off past glories and should have resigned years ago

That was a complete and utter fucking disgrace. Played off the park by an absolutely bang average Spurs side and we were only bailed out by their insecurity and inferiority complex. They should have been out of sight but had no instinct to kill us off and folded like a house of cards as soon as they conceded. Today summed up why we will not win this PL, even though the only competition are a City side who look like they can't be arsed and do their best to bottle the title come crunch time.

Firstly, Wenger needs to stop fucking banging on about fatigue before games. He is filling the players' heads with it and it showed - we were off the pace all game until we score and then SHOCK HORROR players who have been sauntering around all game. Spurs played Monday and Thursday and looked fresh all game. We weren't up for the fight from the very start. We have played in the CL for two decades and it has always meant playing midweek - we're going to have to fucking deal with it.

Secondly, Pochettino has got Wenger's number in a big way. We have played them three times (discounting the mickey mouse game in September) and every time they have completely stifled us and we haven't gotten going at all. They had a very compact shape and pressed us hard, they channelled most of our attacks down the right because they knew Campbell wouldn't do anything. We will go there in the return fixture and the same will happen again, and we will lose.

Campbell is absolute garbage. He's scared to take on a man and ruins decent positions time and time again. He is dull too - the one time we looked dangerous was from set pieces and when we won a free-kick in a great area he inexplicably took it short with 3 Spurs players around. Never make a decent footballer as long as I have a hole in my arse. Just another fucking failed experiment, although sadly Wenger won't see it until 2019.

Yet again after a big game we are talking about Giroud missing golden chances. He was stretching for the first header but the second was an absolute sitter and the third was a weak effort again. After he missed the first one you could see that he wasn't going to score today - it was the same petulant reaction that we saw against Monaco and it continued all game, culminating in him wasting nearly a full minute of stoppage time acting up like a toddler. No team has ever won the PL with a lead striker anywhere near as poor as Giroud and we aren't going to change that. He will not win us games, pure and simple.

Embarrassing to have Gibbs, Flamini and Arteta being our three subs in a game like that. The squad balance is non-existent and even disregarding our lack of quality in depth we have been let down by reliance on players who have spent half of their careers with us injured - Rosicky, Wilshere, Walcott, Chamberlain, Ramsey, Welbeck etc. And he is absolutely flogging the likes of Sanchez and Ozil. In Sanchez we have probably one of the top 10 dangerous attackers in world football and at the moment his legs look like jelly and his body is operating at 20% the speed of his brain. It is distressing to watch but entirely predictable given the last 18 months.

Cazorla has been poor for a while now. Can't tackle and gives the ball away loads. One of this big reasons that we got tonked the other night by Bayern. Offered no protection.

Ozil wasn't great, but Giroud missed a couple of sitters as usual. He hits an occasional sublime strike to make us forget about the sitters. Sounds a bit like Wenger really.

Sanchez has been pretty poor for probably the past 4 - 5 games, but is it any wonder? The man has to be shagged. He can't be dropped because we haven't anyone to play there.

Campbell really shouldn't be Arsenal. Again another indictment against our manager.
