Manure v Arsenal

[Dan_85]

Just the constant, relentless, drip, drip, demoralising, horrible, frustrating, endless, downward trend in our quality. Thats all.

This.

[LDB]

it is just another reason for wenger and the club to believe that they have the backing of the fans

Which, by and large, they do.

[QuartzGooner]

Only bright spark was Cazorla goal.
Nothing much else to say, a Giroud shot?
We had so little to offer today.

Couple of seasons ago on ESPN Savage said - in reference to Wenger "I think they should get rid of him"
Cant remember what match it was but another shite performance and the only pundit to confront "the elephant in the room" that nobody must ever blame.

there already looks like a lot of negative press for AW in the UK tomorrow - steve mcmanananaman and ian thingy were all over him on ESPN here - very poor tactics, no changes at half time against the mancs and norwich, and they called it the worst team under wenger. they also made this comment " Arsenal are a great business, because regardless of how poor they do, the fans still turn up and they still make $50million profit every year. football is supposed to be a glory game..."

they also talked about the shareholders discontent at the meeting etc.

Well each to their own. I am no great Wenger fan and I love this club. Away days IMHO ain't the place to do laundry in the open.

People forget that all of this stuff was being said last season at this stage too - worst ever squad we'd had under Wenger, never going to win the Virtual Trophy and finish 4th etc etc. I'll be amazed if he doesn't chose to mention this over the next few days when supporters and the media start to criticise him - after all it was around this time last year when he told us about how he'd worked in football for 30 years, and people criticising him had not worked in football for a single day

For every Robbie Savage, there's a Patrick Barclay, and if we scramble home in the Virtual Trophy again on the final day of the season, the pro-Wenger media will again be saying how lucky we are to have him and what an amazing job he's doing keeping us in the CL. Fulham, Everton and Spurs all dropped points today so nothing has really altered in his pursuit of the Virtual Trophy - its only when that crutch he leans on every season finally falls away that the criticism will be coming from all corners

[Eboue-Why?]

the away fans were loud and clear on my ESPN3 stream! very proud!

today was frustrating simply because we didnt get beat by a better team. man u did not impress me at all they looked very beatable and thats saying something considering how we've played the last month or so.

i think we have good talent....mostly (except santos, man he looks like a slug out there)....at least enough to beat the side we went up against today. to see the boys pass sideways and backwards was frustrating, they look as if they have zero confidence.

Are you serious mate? FFS don't you realise that they never had to get out of 2nd gear. We are so toothless and predictable. All the top teams know that all you have to do is let Arsenal have the ball, they'll pass it sideways to death and then create fuck all because they are a flat, predictable side put out on the pitch by a Manager that has nothing left to give.
Today marked the worst start for 18 seasons. Oh but there's nobody out there who can replace Arsene Wenger, I mean who is there?
You're finished Arsene mate, you can't do it anymore and if this money grabbing Board of ours had any brain cells they'd see it...but that's the point, they are money grabbing and can't see anything else.
Why couldn't David Moyes do a better job than Arsene Wenger?
Go on, someone give me a one fucking reason why Moyes shouldn't be given a chance? Would he have put up with Podolski's disgraceful attitude today, or keep sticking Ramsey right wing? No course not.
It really really saddens me that I cannot stand to look at or listen to a Manager that has brought us so much success but that's what his stubborn dictatorial style of running the club has created.

[1989]

I would give my left bollock to have Moyes manage us.

Jurgen Klopp for me. Moyes might be second choice though.

i dont buy it. they had every reason to come into today and hand us another 8-2 result. Especially with c#&t van p***y playing. They had chances they left hanging and didnt capitalize on and it wasnt because of our defense.

spurs and everton both beat this same team and liverpool gave them a run for their money. i dont doubt that we (arsene-less perhaps) could have beat them today.

[topgoon]

Muke Dean was his usual c**tish self when he refs our games.

He warns Wilshire and Cleverly yet gives Cleverly one more chance then whiskey nose subs him yet Jack gets sent off next tackle. The Rapist should have got 2 yellows yet nothing, Santi protects his face and yet it's a penalty. The rapist forces a corner from a clear offside position. Dean gives a corner bang they score.

We were shite but does the ref have to give them a leg up.

[SteveO 35]

I love the way people have brought up the ref's performance today as if it was something that affected the outcome. The only poor decision I thought was allowing Cleverley to stay on

It was a penalty against Cazorla

Wilshere should have been sent off for a second booking minutes before he did go

At least the ref had the balls to book a few of theirs

[Clash]

I'd love Moyes. We might not win anything but just having a team that competed and played at a high tempo would be a massive improvement.

Not sure how many of our pampered 'stars' could cope with a manager like that though. Theyd probably all ask to leave. All the more reason to get Moyes in.

Really cant stand much more of this now. I am on the verge of doing something counter productive like cheering for the opposition in all our games while that Wenger remains in charge. Not resorted to that yet and if I do I wont start till after the Spurs game ... but it might be more fun than watching this repetitive shite year after year.

Failure on the pitch might be the only way this will ever end? Tragic stuff.

Absolutely! Unless Caz has grown a foot his hands were not in front of his face. He gave Jack and Cleverley exactly the same treatment. Jack was given a warning after he took RvP out. The difference was the "good" manager subbed his boy straight away, the manager of the decade left his on for the inevitable.

I usually hate refs in games against manure (Oct 2004 anyone?) but today we can have no arguments.

Ahh, but you see mate its all really a clever plan from the Coach of the Decade because he wanted to rest Wilshere so can do it now without having to drop him. Only a bloke who has worked in football for 30 years could devise such a cunning plan. Having never worked a day in football, I can bow at the feet of the world's greatest manager
