Have you watched any of our prem games this season? We will finish 7-12, losing around one tird of our games.
i love when someone posts something like "you know, i think that bla bla bla" and then someone like sid comes up with the usual "ARE FUCKING OUT OF YOUR MIND? YOU'RE WRONG, AND I KNOW WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO..."

would you lend me your crystal ball sid? i need to know if the hot girl who lives on the second floor would fuck me. :lol: :lol: :wink:
I have seen pictures of you BG, and I don't need a crystal ball to tell you the answer to that. :wink:

It's been blindingly obvious to everybody over the last few years that if playing wonderful football and walking the ball into the net doesn't work then we have no plan B. How many times have we gone into games against the likes of Stoke or Bolton and the like knowing exactly how they are going to play against us, yet we still seem utterly incapable of dealing with them. This is even more frustrating given that we proved last year we had the talent to get results against the big teams (Chelsea, Barca and Utd all losing at the Emirates)

Also I've lost count of the number of players to have left never to be properly replaced, seemingly on account of the fact that Wenger is to stubborn to admit that he got it wrong. Aside from RVP and maybe Wilshire we now don't have any players in the squad that are going to cause opponents to think "oh s**t, so and so is playing" and for a club that we are constantly being told is a model of success in the transfer market this is a terrible state to be in. Think Arteta and Benayoun looked decent enough against Dortmund, and bought a bit of experience into the midfield, but we hardly had to battle against Europe's elite to sign them, did we?

I'll always support the players but I think it is time for a change, If having a club go from 49 games unbeaten to one which is four nil up at half time and finishes up hanging on for a point isn't a sign of failure then I don't know what is!! I know as fans we don't have the right to expect to win a s**tload of trophies every year, but spending thousands a year to see great players walk away and be replaced by inexperienced youth players who often are simply not up to it is frankly unacceptable.
Good post, mate. 8)

And welcome onboard the not-so-happy ship Online Gooner! :wink:

Even back in wenger's better days a few years back it was always widely accepted that he had no Plan B and wasnt capable of forming one but now he hasnt even got a Plan A :roll: :oops:

On a side note does anybody honestly believe that this team, under wenger's guidance, are capable of going to kiev and getting a draw like those stoke *word censored* did last night ? Even in our good old days we were used to going out to eastern europe and getting our arse's kicked :roll: :oops: :cry:
