    Well maybe if Bould had told them to cross the ball to Giroud? Maybe he shouldn't have taken off Jenkinson. Wenger ddn't ahve had 0 input, but doy you really think he'd tell GErvihno to dove after he had gotten past the defender.

    Dortmund looked terrific against Real though.

    Last Season we had RVP to rescue us - this year we have Giroud and Gervinho!




    We need to dip into the market and buy a quality striker this Jan.

    Invest in a CF, ffs. Also that was probably the slowest Arsenal team I have ever seen.

    You're missing the point. I'm disgusted that our ONLY threat was from a kid. I'm glad he's talented and that he's young but it's a disgrace that he was the only one that troubled the goal keeper the whole game. That's a problem. ALL GOOD clubs have a decent mix of youth and experience.

    Where was the leadership?

    Who was leading the front line?

    Who was organizing the defence?

    Who caused the opposition problems?

    I'll give you a clue: no-one.

    I want to know who is the scout ?

    Who is the fucking moron who recommended that we buy him .?

    THESE are the questions that need answering .

    And Bould sits on his arse and watches the system NOT working for 75 minutes .

    WE , and we are not professional coaches , can see it after 40, 50 minutes.

    WHY does he dither for so long.

    INEPT .

    Dont forget of todays team only Mertesaker, Vermaelen, Arteta, Cazorla and either Giroud or Podolski as CF would make the first team with everyone fully fit.

    Today...............My First team
    Manonne...........Szczesny
    Jenkinson..........Sagna
    TV...................TV
    Mert.................Mert
    Santos.............Gibbs
    Coq.................Wilshere
    Arteta..............Arteta
    Cazorla............Cazorla
    Ramsey............Theo
    Gervinho...........Ox
    Podolski............Podolski

    Quite a difference

    I don't care if this make me seem like a poor fan but I really really hope Man Utd smash us for the good of the club.

    If it wasn't obvious before, we are back at square one.

    Scratch that, we've taken 3 steps back.

    We sold our best player after he has 1 1/2 good seasons after having him on our injury list for more than half of his career at Arsenal.

    We sell our best DMF too.

    We've made a few decent signings but we've papered over the cracks.

    Something really needs to change, and if that means firing Wenger, getting rid of a director... I don't care, this current system is a ****ing joke. Arsenal should not be content with scrapping for 4th and being trohpyless for over 8 YEARS.

    How can any fan be happy with that? Is this the same club that has won the PL 3 times? The same club that got to a CL final only six years ago? Is this really the same club?

    No, it can't be.

    I won't be shocked if QPR beat us this weekend.

    Atrocious.

    A change needs to come pronto.

    And this is how? Yes we've had 2 poor performances and suddenly its slit our wrists time. Nobody is happy about this, but we move on. We go on and fight and win another day.

    minor setback for you lot CL-wise. You should still top the group. Think Wenger just underestimated them

    The main problem was our lack of pace. The only guy who had a real chance of skinning people was GErvihno and he would ****ing take it down the line instead of cutting in. We need more midfield energy. Things which Diaby, Oxo, and Walcott gave us. Jack has looked lively so he should help, but he can't do it on his own.

    I miss the days when people accused us of trying to walk the ball into the next, at least we used to get somewhere near the oppposition goal

    At the start of the season, we failed to score in two games.

    Why?

    We sold our best striker.

    We lose against Chelsea... why? Because predictably, Diaby gets injured... not his fault... but do we have an adequate replacement... nope.. why?

    Because we sold Song.

    It's becoming a joke.

    I'd have no problem with Arsenal losing if we truly were just ****... but no, it's because of the club's policy of cashing it.


    Finishing 4th seems to be acceptable to most Arsenal fans.

    We've been in this 'transitional' period since 2005.... 2005???? Seriously, how can we rebuild if we keep on selling?

    We have to keep crossing our fingers that our players don't get injured so we can have a half decent season.

    Look at Arsenal's bench and see if that fills you with any confidence.

    It's a joke. We're being taken for mugs. We pay sky high prices to watch Arsenal, only for the club to sell our best players.

    And yes, I am a mug for renewing my season ticket. I don't know why the **** I did. Blind loyalty. I shouldn't even complain, I'm putting money into these twats' pockets.

    But thats all he EVER does.

    Thats all he ever has done.

    He was so useless today he even resorted to diving.

    and this is the guy we are relying on for goals ?

    no chance.........

    If this team was a pornstar, we'd be awful. No penetration at all.

    Song wouldn't have made much difference. We sold RvP yes. It hurt us yes, but he's also ****ed up for us on many occasions aka Chip vs AC Milan last year instead of just ****ing scoring. Tbh our main problem isn't even the CF its the lack of efficiency from the Wings and lack of midfield energy
