I have seen that performance so many times over the past few seasons, usually we pull something out of the hat and its overlooked.
Lately its seems Wenger's fairy godmother has deserted him, there are no more miraculous turn arounds.
The game is up old man.

Err...not really Robbie. Its been happening every week in 2016
We haven't put in a remotely convincing performance since City in December.

Still, we can add Watford and Craig Cathcart to the list of clubs/players who inexplicably put in their best defensive performance in seasons against us.

Nice to see us get another striker back on form too in Ighalo......hadn't scored since January but then agree he doesn't face a 6' 6" fanny and a headless chicken every week

You cant just say headless chicken, you need to be more specific.

Seriously I couldn't give a fu.ck :roll: :oops: We are a joke and we are even more ball-less than the players - we bemoan the fact that the players lack physicality and their willingness to turn their backs on shots, but the reality is that our WOB support folded like a deck of cards after the negative criticism during the week :evil: I literally am amazed that there was no backlash at the final whistle today - we should be able to beat the likes of Watford with our ladies team, but yet we get turned over at home like wee are a some non league part-timers outfit :roll: :oops: :oops: :oops:
Relegation is too good for the akb cu.nts :evil: :evil: :evil:

Pathetic little chorus of boos. We laugh at the likes of Liverpool fans (and with good reason) but no other fanbase would stand for this shit.

I know there is the language barrier, never sure what Wenger is trying to say, but he did clearly state had we managed to avoid making mistakes and keep a clean sheet until the last 20 minutes we would have won.
He gets £8m per season to come up with that.

Absolutely.

Speaking of which, Mertesacker is finished. The guy plays a part in us conceding a goal almost every game these days! :oops:

I think Wenger knows it too as he's tried dropping Mertesacker on numerous occasions. Sadly, injuries/suspensions to Kos and Gabriel, coupled with Gabriel's brainfarts, keep seeing Mert returned to the first team. :roll:

Much ado about nothing but shows what Wenger has reduced our club to.

Today summed us up perfectly, players strolling around, not looking bothered, and on the rare occasions we created anything, we shit ourselves in front of goal. Giroud again offered nothing up front, and its laughable to think of someone with such limited ability surviving at the club this long. Also, Sanchez is a great player, but since coming back from his injury, he has been awful. This season is heading like so many others, towards a top 4 finish and nothing else. Nothing is changing until Wenger leaves.
