    I'd take Klopp but there is virtually no chance in getting him, and Pellegrini seems a good shout, but I think Moyes could work well with the players we have, as it has to be said Wenger is past his peak.

    this " future "that Wenger is apparently building , better be a ****ng rosy one , coz in building it he is ****ting over our entire reputation .

    as for favorites, its blatent .

    Ches is far flakier than Mannone but hes NAILED ON to start .

    Gerv........nothing more needs to be said on that ****ing useless lump of nothing.

    But the biggest failure is in tactics to face a particular team .

    There is no deviation wether we are playing Bradford or Barca .

    Wenger is totally INEPT .

    prove me wrong .

    Don't see where the Chez hate is coming from. He should have done better on the follow-up but other GKs have made that mistake.
    I agree we need more tactical deviation.

    Maybe we could steal Julio Cesar when QPR get relegated?

    my point is that even tho he had hardly anything to do today , when he was called upon ONCE he fluffed it.

    Despite this ....who do you think will be GK for Bayern ?

    Mistakes are not punished , therefore there is NO incentive to be on you top game .

    "Shrug your shoulders Ches , sure you will start next game me old mate , its only the F A cup after all "

    Hopefully our new manager can do that deal, because Wenger sure as hell won't.

    Lots of possession, but didn't create many clear cut chances. Gervinho missed the best chance at 0-0.
    Conceded a stupid, sloppy goal just after bring on 3 subs simultaneously, which probably tells you what Wenger thought of the performance.
    Blackburn defended their lead by dropping very deep, but you didn't really cause them enough problems.

    The goal:

    Arteta, Rosicky, Monreal and Coquelin came out of that with some respect intact.

    Oxo, Szczesny, Gervinho, Diaby, and Giroud were simply awful. So it was mainly our forward line that were terrible. Lots of possession with few concrete chances. I don't even think Blackburn defended that well.

    I think the fact that even eternal optimists such as Oxocube are questioning Wenger says it all about today's "performance"

    Blackburn were terrible. Our midfielders should have made them pay for the fact that they let us have so much time on the ball. But thanks to a mixture of terrible movement from the wings and a lack of drive and intelligent passing from the midfield, they were allowed to get away with it. Wilshere if he had started would have killed them but Diaby was so slow in everything he did. How he managed to stay on the pitch for 90 minutes was beyond me? When our better players did come on, we were chasing the game and there was too much panic.

    Exactly, Diaby was slower than the speed of dark.

    Off topic a moment, but Dortmund just won 3-0 (reus hatrick) so it'll be even more difficult to try and get Klopp now.

    It's a massive flaw in his game, which tends to get ignored because he rarely plays. The difference between someone like Diaby and Wilshere is massive, so resting Wilshere cost us dear today.

    For a manager who is desperate for silver wear then why play a weakened side against opposition you most certainly have beaten at home. It don't make any sense as it would be the easiest silver wear to go for...saving players for a european cup match is fine if you had any chance of winning the thing but arsenal look to weak to win that. Arsen may be a share holder in the club and more of a board member than a manager now so it will be difficult to get rid of him and he should put the club first now and stand down as manager and join the board full time....His mind is on making money and not putting the club's silverware right.....time to do the right thing and step aside and go upstairs out of the way...
