    Mate I appreciate you're getting all defensive, but you're trying to be tedious on a much bigger point which I've explained. Is this going to turn into a HIAG/Piskie type to and fro? Or are you genuinely listening to what I'm saying. The sentiment by both Giroud and Henry is typical of the way you continuously talk a good game to convince yourselves of something which isn't true. What Henry said demonstrates perfectly why he's widely considered a terrible pundit. But his comment and that of Giroud today also typifies why Arsenal in the league don't have that winner's mentality to deliver.

    Mate, very simply, there were no Arsenal players 'jumping around at the end like they'd won the game'

    Sure, criticise us for our performance. For 70 mins it was ****. And I agree that we are lacking that winning mentality. We made far too many mistakes and let Bournemouth be the better team all over the park for the majority of that game. But if you want me to take what you're saying seriously though, don't chat ****e eh ? <ok>

    The attitude starts with the manager, and firstly his selection of his players. Secondly, with motivating those players to get out there and leave their guts on the pitch if that's what it takes.

    Whinger seems incapable of either finding and picking a well balanced side, or of motivating them properly.

    I don't believe he'll be their manager much longer. They've stagnated, and rightly or wrongly, the expectations of the shareholders are greater than that.

    He's a bit anti-Arsenal, but fair enough. I'm anti-Utd <laugh> But overall he's usually okay and talks some sense. Not on this issue though.
    No Arsenal players were 'jumping around like we'd won' whatsoever. If you saw the look on Sanchez' face he was really ****ed off, so was Giroud.
    Fair play we made a good comeback, but we all realise that it simply wasn't good enough tonight.

    <laugh> so resorting to hurling abuse - typical gooner response. Listen Piskie you miss the point, if that was a United pundit - Roy Keane or Gary Neville or anyone, guaranteed they would have berated the players for not getting the ball back to the centre circle and pushing for the fourth, NOT patted them on the back for how they looked at the final whistle. THAT's the difference <ok>

    You carry on picking at it mate, what difference does it make to me, but there are plenty on here who will agree with me. It's not about me trying to convince you fella.

    Firstly, a fan from the team in Wenger's shadow should show some respect and address him by his proper name, But other than that, I do tend to agree with you. There is something a miss when we play that badly for 70 mins and allow ourselves to be 2nd best all over the pitch. Sure it was a great comeback in the end, but it's not good enough. Wenger's time is coming to an end, and it's probably about time that we had a freshen up, but it's a massive appointment and we have to replace him with somebody at least as good, which is a tall order.

    You have most, not all of the players. However, they need organizing and motivating properly.

    Hey, as a Spurs fan, I hope he stays for the next 10 years....

    Calm down fella. I'm not 'hurling abuse' I'm calling you out for talking ****e about our players 'jumping around at the end like we'd won' That simply isn't true. I take your point about the rest, but Arsenal were pushing for the 4th.

    I completely agree.. Could you imagine Fergie being happy that the players are celebrating in added time for scoring an equaliser instead of grabbing the ball and playing for the winner. Fair play it was a decent comeback (aided by the ref) to get a draw, but don't try and pretend you were gunning for all 3 points <doh>

    He won't, he's either going at the end of this season if we find a suitable replacement or he'll sign a 1 year extension whilst we recruit another. But overall I tend to agree, Wenger is great when things are working out fine, but he doesn't seem able to pull us up by our boot straps when we need it.

    Something about only expecting a point before kickoff and the players were right to celebrate like they'd win the world cup.
