    On reflection we have had a good run for the first 4 season's, though from season 5 (Laudrup's sacking) it's been a slow decline, Monk with his narrow English game started the decline in our possession, yes Laudrup started the more direct football, but he still maintained possession, Monk for me was the reason where we lost our football soul, typical of a defender not to understand the technical game we had in midfield and up front...... <ok>

    Arsenal made 11 changes according to the papers they were so confident <laugh> They were right they totally outclassed us and the 2-1 scoreline flattered us hugely. probably be back in the bottom 3 tomorrow where we belong. If the club dont get rid of clement and spend money on an experienced manager then the yanks and Jenkins deserve everything coming to them as they are letting the fans down big time who are giving the club fantastic support every game...

    The problem is they wont sell up if they are making money and what is their interpretation of selling up...

    If they think they can get out whilst still in the PL, the exit price would be higher than if the team were to be relegated at the end of this season.

    **** off you half witted toe rag try supporting the side instead of your constant belittling of the team .it wasn't quite the score line you were hoping for was it .At the moment I'm on a coach travelling back after supporting the side instead of criticising from the well worn sofa that you constantly occupy.We just lost to a team that's just demolished a side away and was the catalyst in having its manager sacked ,the first half could have seen us go 2 up and deservedly so and if not for a wrong decesion come away with a draw,better sides than us will be beaten by bigger margins and all you can do is moan

    Anyone frustrated with Ayew today? For me until he sorts out his poor decision making while in possession, he will alway remain an average player, he needs to be far more aware of his team mates around him, there is nothing more frustrating when attacking the oposition around the box than to have a selfish git not pass to you when your clear on goal, I felt sorry for Abraham today, as Ayew had a number of golden opportunities to create the perfect assist which would have won us the game today, Ayew needs to improve this part of his game, then he would become a lethal player, but at the minute he is just an average joe.........<ok>

    Haven't seen today's game but he's no more than an average player. I agree he's a selfish git too.

    Abraham didn't stop working and it showed at the end of the game ,Ayew the same but with little end product ,decent coaching and better players and jmo he'd thrive but with us he has neither

    Problems with internet meant I completely lost touch after about 30 minutes and we live outside the sweet zone for radio. Apparently the whole of Wales wants to listen to Cardiff's games.
    Do these stats tell the whole story?

    I noted at half time we had already had 4 goal attempts with 2 on target!

    For the sake of the club walk away clement. You dont have the skill to manage a bunch low standard players, For any sort of a chance we have to have an experienced manager who has done it all before.......Do the right thing and go before it's too late.....
    PS Congratulations on your country winning both U20's & U17's world cup...<applause>

    I don't see what Ayew brings apart from effort. He's not a winger, he's not a striker and he's not a #10. He's not very creative. I just don't see what he brings to the party

    Seen the match now.
    Neat and tidy in the first half with Arsenal looking like they were in 2nd gear and expecting goals to materialise.
    Second half shambles. Whatever the team talk was it didn't work.
    Same old same old from the players - Ayew and Abraham worked hard Ki looked frustrated.
    Clucas, to be fair, took his goal wonderfully well but also showed why he's not a full back but had less to contend with than others in the back 5.
    Once again Carroll and Mawson failed to live up to their hype.
    Given the park the bus approach no one was likely to shine.
