When I saw how far forward Ramsey was playing as a "holding midfielder" at the start, I thought fucking hell we will get over run here. And we were for about 20 minutes until Ramsey got a bit more disciplined and the Mousers ran out of steam a bit. We had a good spell in the second half but ultimately Wenger's decision to sit back and try and defend the lead was what fucked us. We are not good enough at the back (particularly with the Big German Coward there - more on him in a minute

) to do that. Taking Ozil off was disastrous - he was the only player capable of retaining possession for more than a couple of seconds. Gibbs offered nothing but losing the ball, Ox looks like a broken man incapable of making the right decision, and Arteta is just past it - sad but true.
Thought Campbell was very good but he still makes a lot of silly mistakes and responds to the ball rather than anticipates things. But his touch and pass for Ramsey's goal were brilliant, top class. Bit concerned that his engine runs out so often (how many times does he stop and just start blowing?

) and is totally gone by 70-75 mins. Is he not fully fit?
I note the Giroudzema-haters still can't bring themselves to give him any real credit. He was man of the match by a country mile last night. Fought for and won everything. Was kicked and hacked constantly and kept giving it everything. Showed for every scrappy shit pass from midfield and and challenged for and won every header. He held up the ball well and passed well. And his second goal was superb. I don't get the hate on here. Yeah, no shit, he's not Henry, he's not Bergkamp. He has no pace. We all know that. But some of the ludicrous shite on here (calling him lazy after last night's performance is mong level rubbish tbh) is way OTT. He's slow, he has days where he can't hit anything. All current PL strikers do - remember superstar Rooney went 8million hours without scoring? But Giroud is hitting the goals and often doing so whilst isolated in the shit 4-5-1 system. He ain't a world beater or a top class striker but credit where it's due. Why hate a player that gives his all, even if his all is limited?
Now onto my old mate, The Big German Coward.

Yet again, an oportunity for him to throw himself in front of a shot and maybe get a leg on it, maybe get a block, and maybe save the day and help us win a huge game, and he does what? He flinches back with a look of pure fright etched on his face, hands up to his chest like a bitch, as if the ball was a fucking live grenade covered in Kerry Katona's infected vadge juice.

How can a grown man (never mind a professional footballer) be so afraid of
getting hit by a football?

Christ. Look at some old footage of TA6 and Uncle Bouldy throwing themselves in front of absolute rockets to make a block. THAT's what CH's should do. Not cowardly turn away in fear.
Anyfucks, we threw away a hard earned win and I'm still pissed off about it.
