So this calendar year and in the second half of the season we haven't won a single game against one of the big teams. We faced City and lost. We faced Chelsea and lost. We faced Liverpool and drew. We faced Munich and lost. We now faced Spurs, and lo and behold, we lose again, with our defence in shambles yet again. You'd think that this pitiful excuse of an Arsenal team would have some decency, and courage to give something back to the fans after all these setbacks, but nah, the only thing this current Arsenal team are good at, is consistently letting the fans down, they're too **** at the moment to even get the bare minimum of 4th spot. All we're going to get from them is the same useless empty talk of oh we have to keep fighting and keep our chins up (**** off) and the board will come and tell everybody how our future is so bright bla bla bla while the actuality on the pitch is that this club is ****ing regressing and well on it's way of finishing in 5th place. As I said, our defence YET AGAIN was in shambles, how many ****ing times have we seen this OVER AND OVER A ****ING AGAIN, season AFTER SEASON, perhaps this will make the thick headed c--ts in the blinker brigade realise it's not a money issue as they try to always claim, but a COACHING ISSUE, a WENGER ISSUE. When season after season goes by, and the same defensive lapses and errors persist, you know there's something wrong with the coaching and system, but nahhhhhh for the blinker brigade it's the board's fault for Arsenal defending like a bunch of ******ed monkeys.
Or maybe we're just not good enough? There's only so many games u can make excuses for, let's just all admit it, we're not good enough against the big good sides.
Oh, sorry, you didn't get the joke. I'll rephrase it "I think we played with ze handbrake on, or we lacked ze mental strength"
I feel zat we .. errrr . i believe that we........ err.............perhaps lacked a little ...errrrrrrrr conceded err .......very unlucky , and of course its very difficult........... yeah Arsene , we already know mate. Heard it a few times now.
And PERHAPS maybe some in the blinker brigade can come out and admit that players like Giroud are just ****ING AVERAGE, but he will come up and score a hatrick against some **** side to increase his goal stats and make it look much better on paper than reality, he's been ****ing useless in so many games this season. What a ****ing annoying player he was today with the dumb **** he was trying to do, can't BELIEVE he was RVP's replacement and we chose him over BA, **** ME!
4 points out of a possible 21 against Spurs City United and Chelsea so far this season, BUT BUT BUT REMEMBER, we're an elite side according to some on here. So elite eh, knocked out by Bradford and Blackburn in the cups too, what a ****ing shambles of a season, a ****ing disgrace.
.. Have you seen the bit in Band of Brothers where he says to the rookie , " you know what your problem is .......you still have hope." Thats why you are angry . I went past anger a long time ago. Just a calm acceptance that things will get better soon . You cant still expect to have any success with the present situation . as long as i see some positives in THE PLAYERS i am ok . many of them i think are good enough to remain here when HE has gone. I see the light at the end of the tunnel.
It's purely a lack of cutting edge. RVP is a MUCH bigger loss than many realise. Our midfield is still dominanting games but we seemingly need a ****ing TON of chances to win games. We were the better team today, we played the better football, had more posession and got in dangerous areas FAR more often. We just cant score for ****. The same thing happened against Chelsea and City. Against the better defences out CF's are not good enough.
Be honest now , how many of us , when we see Giroud get the ball/ get on the ball , ACTUALLY think he will score ? Compared to the dutch twat who we expected to score if it came to him . I know he certainly didnt score all his chances but thats not my point . We still expected him to. This striker has actually reduced our expectations .
RVP was very good on the ball, so even if he wasn't scoring, when we gave him the ball we knew he could do something, keep a play going etc. Giroud on the other hand is just so clumsy at times, doing **** knows what, giving a bad pass or whatever, he doesn't possess that maestro skill or touch.
This is the big game problem in a nutshell. Remember the Chelsea game when we could have taken the lead? RVP would have buried that and the chance Giroud ****ed up against Bayern too. A world class striker can win games, a mediocre striker just adds gloss to wins over minnows. Wenger replacing the best striker in the league with a striker who stands at 20th in the Premiership top scorers table is disgraceful, incompetent and negligent. If Wenger is unwilling to strengthen the squad adequately this summer he can **** right off. I'm sick of us buying cheap options and watching other teams strengthen year after year.
I dont think Wenger even believed that Giroud would be as good as that dutch twat , he just really really hoped he would. Get a striker on the cheap and hope to god hes struck lucky . Not quite worked out though .
