    Here is my first post that got you so riled up. You know, the one that makes me look like a WKB apologist.

    Like I said, get someone literate to read it to you. Perhaps you will re-think your attacks upon me after you have the long words explained to you.

    its called diversion .

    Managers divert attention from sh1t performances by blaming the ref/pitch etc.
    The Wengerites divert attention from his terrible results by attacking dissenters.

    As the defeats become more frequent and pronounced.

    6-0 , 6-3 , 5-1 , 3-0 ..

    The attacks become more desperate and personal.

    stick around , the next few months are gonna be a bumpy ride .

    If that FA cup dont materialise , they will have to draft in Toledo there will be so much bullsh1t spin to shovel .

    :grin:

    Are you for real? You make more desperate & personal attacks than Arsenal87 & Kyle put together lol

    You are so keen to start fights that you even attack posters that share your view that Wenger needs to go.

    Sonny, you are one thick cnut.

    One begins to wonder what our scouts and academy staffs are being paid for. Can someone tell me why we cannot produce any home grown quality better than Giroud? I bet you there are better players than Giroud plying their trade in the Hackney Marshes on a wet Sunday morning! The sad thing I rip into my 16yr old who plays as a striker, when he is having a shocker, but seeing Giroud today, think I might have been a little harsh on him.

    You've been desperately trying to goad others into arguing ever since Everton scored. Its pathetic.

    We do, he's called Chuba Akpom. Shame he won't see first team action though.

    to be fair , im surprised you were still here when Everton scored .

    The apologist usually melt away at the first sign of a trouncing.

    Only to come back .ahem .....when the dust has settled....

    If I'm on the forum during a game I'm on the whole time. That's never changed.

    I've never seen anything from Akpom that suggests he is as good as you say. Wenger and the coaching staff watch the players week in week out and obviously rate Sanogo as the better young player.

    Akpom is still young and if he is good enough he will get a chance.

    Akpom can score goals and has striker's instincts, i'd give him a shot against Wigan.

    No chance, you have no idea whatsoever how he is currently playing or his mindset. The Wigan game is important and if we want to drop giroud it needs to be for Sanogo.

    Good enough for what? What do you have to be 'good enough' at exactly to play up front for us?

    Exactly, he can't possibly be worse than Giroud has been the past few games.

    Of course he could. He is like 17 or 18. He could just as easily put in a poor performance as a good one.

    At least with Sanogo he trains with the first team and has played in some high profile games.

    If he proves himself a good enough striker he will get a chance with the team. What confused you about that?

    There is no confusion. Just annoyance that being 'good enough' to play for Arsenal is not actually a yardstick of being good anymore.

    Playing devil's advocate though can we blame all our current ills on Giroud's lack of quality. Fair enough, agreed he is not a world class striker, a nil-nil would have sufficed today.... We did not need to win today just avoid defeat.... Conceding 20 goals against your rivals is where the issue is....We would need a Messi or a Ronaldo to break even with that goal tally.

    "I'm 100% determined to fight to make the top four but it will be difficult," said Wenger, who has led his side to 16 successive top-four finishes.

    "We have a [run-in] that is feasible but we must focus on the quality of our displays before dreaming of places."

    I get where you're coming from, but Giroud is our focal point offensively, so a lot of the blame does lie with him. Against Chelsea, he had a chance to put us into the lead, only to scuff his shot, moments later, Chelsea go down the other end and score. Our style of play now seems to revolve around him trying to hold it up, rather than fast passing, trying to disorientate the defence and catching them out of position.
