Monaco at home

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Per - We must be brave in Monaco

Per Mertesacker says Arsenal must be “brave” if they are to turn around their Champions League last-16 tie with Monaco.


Seriously Per ..look at yourself you giant coward.
Or look at Abdennour who was flawless last night. I think Per's a bit soft. Losing aerial duels, shocking mentality when he first started at the club, not getting stuck in. Really poor now. Give Gabriel a run out, he can't be worse.

If ever a game and performance fitted the phrase 'I've taken this team as far as I can' then surely this was it.
I'm still one of those fans who doesn't want to hate the Manager because of what he's done in the past but he's pushing all of us to the limit with his refusal to accept that he can do no more for Arsenal.
I am genuinely speechless if Keown said he needs more time.
Still a Top 4 finish will mean we can go through all of this again next season with no lessons learnt and the sheep telling us to be careful what we wish for.
So depressing

Ha Ha what a fucking fantastic result for those of us who want Wenker out, the bastard had eased the pressure with a run of fortuitous wins and a decent display against an inconsistent depleted Citeh.
Exit to the mancs in the cup, further humiliation in Monaco and a few dropped points in the plge and he will be back in the spotlight. :barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf:

He did mate. He was on 5Live post-match as the calls from disaffected Gooners came in (two defended Wenger and the rest wanted him gone) and he defended Wenger to the hilt.

I understand he may feel he has a line to walk, and he definitely had a remit to play Devil’s advocate, but he was unequivocal in his support for Arsene. I had to turn it off after he said that there was nobody else he’d rather have at the club to rectify this Monaco farce.

Sorry Sid, but that's bollocks. The man is Teflon-coated; if he can survive an eight-two rogering then what the fuck will last night mean in the grand scheme of things? We've already made our European target so the board won't give two shits.

The only people who'll suffer once we crash out of the Cup and flounder in the league is the fans. Old bastard is going nowhere for two years ( :shock: ) at least.

I just thank God that we had people at the club with the foresight and bravery to see that we needed to leave Highbury to reach the level we're at now.

last night is irrelevant
it is just the annual match where the club collects as much cash as it can from the deluded idiots who like to pay £90 to see the team get beaten.

Sunday's game is far more important - the top 4 trophy is at stake

In the clubs infinite wisdom they decided it was a great idea to let Monaco fans in relatively large numbers sit with the home fans. They of course took great delight in taking the piss right next to us which didn't sit right with me and I had a few kind words for them which almost got me thrown out. Stewards after the game didn't seem to give a shit that there were about 100 of them in the block.

Thank fuck it was a free ticket.

Was that in East Upper by any chance? Because there were loads of Anderlecht fans in that area at that game. I think it's a CL thing with loads of sponsors getting those tickets.

It's a load of bollocks but it's in the Champion League rules:

"14.06 All clubs in the competition must make at least 5% of the total capacity of their stadium available exclusively to visiting supporters, in a segregated, safe area. In addition, visiting clubs are entitled to purchase up to 200 top-category tickets (unless otherwise agreed between the two clubs in question) for their VIP supporters, sponsors, etc. (see Articles 16 and 23 of the UEFA Stadium Infrastructure Regulations and Article 19 of the UEFA Safety and Security
Regulations)."

Giroud was dire last night and missed some shocking chances, but to single him out in an article like that is bang out of order imo :x Wellshit also showed that he isn't good enough to play at the very top level and yet there was no mention of him in that article despite the fact that giroud is a better goalscorer against the lesser teams than wellbeck :roll:
On the same webpage the utter dickhead that is paul Hayward, has an article about how our players let le cock down last night....clearly a badly prepared team and an inability to in game manage, doesn't make wenker responsible at all :roll: :oops:
