    very negative on here. we still have a great chance at third. newcastle will probably lose to city, and spuds are playing badly atm so may lose to a relegation threatened villa. just need a win against west brom.

    Exactly my point. Annoying for you as you should have ended it today, at home to Norwich especially as you were ahead twice and the second time with only 10 minutes to survive. But Newcastle have two very difficult games against City and away to Everton whilst Spurs will capitulate whoever and wherever they play. All comes down to the West Brom match for me.

    Think 3rd is gone. Spurs have Villa and Fulham. 6 points right there.

    Newcaslte, have City and Everton though. We need City to WIN. And, then somehow cling on for a point against WBA. And finally, go and buy your Bayern Munich Shirts.

    It wasn't a coincidence that we scored twice and played much better when Ramsey was taken off but it was too little too late. Overall, we were terrible. Our defending was atrocious. We should have been down 4-1 at one point had it not been for poor refereeing decisions and Norwich not being clinical enough. Just pitiful. I wouldn't blame RVP if he left this season. We have now put our fate in the hands of Man City/Villa and possibly Bayern Munich but it shouldn't have come to this. It was in OUR hands, and under pressure WE capitulated. I know we don't like playing the blame game but it all does come down to one man and it's Wenger. Poor selection, not enough foresight to make early changes.... just overall poor.

    Norwich played well and were the better team but we were at home and are meant to be a CL football team. Not on that performance we weren't.

  5. I agree

    but do ask why it is we allow ourselves to literally throw away our opportunities like that. What is the point of only being aware of the sense of urgency in the second half and then to waste it all.? There has to be a set of reasons for it and really Arsene has to take responsibility since he shaped this team and his poor tactics have also cost us.

  6. And this will keep happening time and time again whilst Wenger is in charge. The man has absolutely no clue how to manage a football team, other than how to attack. the only reason he was ever successful is because he inherited players that had defensive know how and steel, and they told him to stay away from telling them how to defend. As the years have passed he has turned our club into Newcastle under Keegan.

    We desperately need a proper football manager to try and salvage us from the serious damage doen to the club by Wenger.

    Disappointed we didn't win
    First half was crap and AW was spot on by taking an off for Ramsey off and Oxo and Chammy changed the game
    2nd half was much better though if we were clinical or more lucky we could have won it
    The whole defense barring Coq was poor though Gibbs looked alright going forward
    Song needs to protect the back 4 more he is the DM.
    Shezza had a horrible game but I can forgive him
    Oxo and Gervihno were good and Rosicky made some good passes

    Still think well get 3rd
    City will beat Castle and Spurs will draw tomorrow
    COYG
    AW looked pissed so hopefully he lays into the team in the locker room
    Ref was an idiot, not just towards us but Norwich

    Fulham lose to Spurs? Not going to happen. And I see McCleish will do something useful with his life and hold Spurs to a boring 0-0 draw

    It's funny, when Man Utd capitulated at home to Everton, it was a shock and so out of character for them. When we do it, it's expected. That's not good enough. Since 2005-2007, we've been seen as the bottlers. Pitiful. Arsene has gone wrong somewhere, this isn't sudden, we've been throwing away leads for years now.

    I'm sorry but how is Fulham a nailed on 3 points for us?

    Fulham have been sensational lately. Alright you could say that BMJ might do us a favour but he could also want to get one over on us.

    The Fulham result is in no way a dead cert - for either team.

  12. Could have should have would have.

    The point is we never do.

    We're now a team bottling 4th. Before that we were a team bottling the title. Can you not see how we are regressing? It is only going to continue until changes are made - starting with the manager.

    They have Fulham at home, and they (Spurs) finally started to have more balance to their team. I see them winning that. Villa are dog **** and have the worst manager in the league. We can pray that he gets his team to grind out a dour 0-0 or something, but they are not good enough. We have handed Spurs the chance and I suspect they will take it. Best bet is fourth.

  14. CL is gone and RVP is gone.

    At teh final whistle today a new era started for us - one where we have to try and fight back to the top table, like Liverpool are trying to do. You might not accept this now, but you will by the end of the season.

    ****ing right, it is shameful that we gave such a woeful performance considering the importance of the game. If Wenger can't get them fired up for this then when can he? Time for him to **** off

  16. Hopefully he will come out and resign. I'd actually have some respect for him if he admitted he'd ****ed up our club.

    You are at home and it's probably going to be the biggest game Spurs as a club has played in **** knows how long. Fulham beat a Liverpool reserve team. Our current team in it's current form can do that.

    Gone, how? Last time I checked we are in third, and Newcastle have Manchester City coming to town. 3rd is probably gone but I ain't giving up on fourth yet.

    He'd never do that. He really has become a pathetic, whiny, excuse-making little prick. He'll come out and blame the ref for this ****e result.
