    You must be so proud, we are right on 4th now, would be hilarious if we don't make top 4, you would still be spinning your excuses. You have no shame, like the twat who manages us, more like the disease who manages us, that useless old senile ****.

    I see A87 is going through the "ass licking" phase of his meltdown. Someone call me when it gets to tea-bagging as a human centipede <ok>

    Giroud has failed to score in 37% of the Premier League games he's featured in this season. For a side that seems to create an awful lot of chances, that is unacceptable. Lord help us if we don't get a striker in the Summer. Which we probably won't anyway.

    Chins up though, guys. Just one more year of this bollocks and Wenger will be off. <cracker>

    Why do we need three to replace one? There's been plenty of names mentioned and I would take any over him.

    Gazidis and co are paid a fortune to make such decisions. We the fans can see the disease and the decay he is presiding over and it's our job to call out **** when we see it.

    Arsenal fan says Wenger needs to go.

    Wengerite asks "who on earth could replace him and carry on his mediocrity."

    The cycle continues.

    Diego Simeone
    Unai Emery
    Ronald Koeman

    Any of them could take this club forward, in my opinion. And it's not just restricted to these three, there's other managers I could name as well.

    Ronald Koeman stands out with his experience.

    A little investment and a 20+ goalscorer strikes me as more important than a new man. But if you had to get a new man I'd pick Gus Hiidink.

    No thanks to Hiddink <ok>

    It's not even just about investment anymore. You can have all the top players in the world but you need someone to motivate them, gear them up for games, inspire them when the chips are down, respond well to adversity, punish players if they're underperforming or not listening to instructions.

    Wenger has failed with most of this and a lot of it comes down to lacking the desire to win and not having the right balance of players. Both of which are the managers' fault.

    There seems to be this culture at Arsenal where you can do whatever you want without any meaningful consequences for mediocrity or underachievment. How long do you persist with average players before you say enough is enough? You'll still get your wage packet, live in a fancy house in London and can do whatever the hell you want on the pitch without any accountability whatsoever.

    Wenger has had 12 years to rebuild his Arsenal team into title winners and he has failed to do it. I don't think the players believe in what he says anymore. And even if they do, they don't care enough to actually show it when it matters.

    So no, it's not just a little investment needed. Wholesale changes are needed if we want to compete with the best club sides in world football.

    That point you made about not rebuilding correctly from 12 years ago is a good one. That counter attacking team you had, you've not come close to emulating yet.

    AW has tried to evolve from that and play a possession based game but like the France team of 98' and practically every England team, more success would come from doing what you're good at and not trying to emulate a formula of another.

    14 league games without a goal by Giroud, where's that clown afcw when you need him, to shower us with stats about how great Giroud is.

    Piskie, your deluded comrades have all abandoned you I'm afraid.

    A draw was a great result though a loss would have been even more desirable... It would have really geed up our players for our pivotal next game.

    ..such a bland, uninspired performance. An injection of inspiration from both a managerial and player level is so needed. I don't think I've seen such a poor Arsenal over the past 4 months for a bloody long time.

    If after everything, Wenger can make it through this summer, then there is absolutely no way he'll ever leave. He makes it to August and we see a contract extension inside 12 months. I can imagine this is the nail biting situation the Wenger Out campaigners must be sweating over.

    AW dropped Welbeck who had been scoring for Giroud who hasn't scored in 14 PL games, that makes ****ing sense !!!!!!

    when we need a goal AW takes off the PL top assist provider - ****ing clueless!!!!

    the next 3 games can't finish soon enough.

    next season will be worst then this season as City/United/Chelsea will all improve, and Liverpool seem to be heading in right direction for once.
    and lets not forget that Spurs will finish above us this year and unless we severely strengthen the squad will WC players and not padding then Spurs will do so for the foreseeable future.

    next season
    City
    Spurs
    Chelsea
    United
    Leicester
    Liverpool
    Arsenal ?

    The only positive from today was Wilshere. He did more in 10 minutes than Giroud and Ramsey did all game.

    Giroud really is a useless ****ing Donkey. Wenger substitutions were late and inept.

    Everything about todays game pisses me off.

    Not sure how much blame you can put on him given the bottlers on the pitch. Weak in the tackle is an understatement, that's when tackles aren't being bottled entirely.
