"We don't want to win tonight" "I'd rather lose the game tonight" "We don't want to be traveling around Europe in the Europa" "We need to concentrate on winning the league, so we need to lose tonight" times that by about 10 more callers (with similarly stupid remarks) WTF is wrong with these morons? Funny thing is that they're getting ripped to shreds on the radio Thoughts? Do they have a point? Or are they complete tools? No Wummng Please.
They should get Arsenal87 to call in. They'd need to make full use of the 15 second delay and someone would have to translate the bitchin' rapping (is Dappy an Arsenal fan?) but it would be entertaining to hear him go full on postal on the radio (followed by dozens of Gooners calling in to distance themselves from his comments).
Europa for them would mean... What... At most 8 More games or so... Spread over 5 months. So barely 1 extra game a month. People make to much ado about Europa League being tough.
Typical loser mentality. The notion you can only win something by being knocked out of another competition suggests a swathe of Gooners know they're not good enough.
Btw deep down Wenger is one of those that wants them knocked out too. I'm not listening to Talksport but if you listen out for callers with a French accent...
Wenger has wanted that for 17 years. Surely by now he'd actually try and win the thing? There was one caller that sounded Asian, I thought it was PISKIE for some reason Not that there is anything wrong with being from Asia.
It's lame. If you haven't got the squad to compete in extra games, you won't win the PL. It's nothing more than excuses.
You lads will know that I take a fairly balanced and unbiased view on this subject; I've got no particular axe to grind. Is the program being presented by Adrian Durham? He's often accused of being anti-Arsenal, but I cannot see it, myself. I think his comments are even-handed and objective. He calls it like it is. That said, I think it's rich all of these Gooners saying "I hope we get knocked out, tonight!" as though they had any chance of winning! Yes, they will get knocked out, and they will play in the Europey. What I am praying for, is that they don't humiliate themselves, like they have so many times already in this season's CL! I'm still feeling soiled from the last time they humiliated us English fans. I don't think I could take another soiling.
They'll scrape through the group, get drawn against Barca, lose 4-1 on aggregate after a gallant 1-0 home win and pocket the cash. #unpredictable
The worst thing for English football will be if Arsenal manage to fluke their way to the knock-out stage. Already, I am feeling soiled.
If like to see Arsenal make it to the final (but not win of course). We need English teams to do well to keep the premierleagues coefficient up. So we still have 4 CL spots... Otherwise the 4th place trophy will suddenly become meaningless.
Yeah. Tuesday evening. You put clean undies on on Sunday... They can't usually last more than 48he's.
Of course, I'd love nothing more than for Arsenal to do well in Europe. However, no amount of wishful-thinking is going to alter the fact that they will get humiliated (again), and our National pride will be severely dented (again), with thousands of us left feeling dejected and soiled.
The commentator just went into "Bellerin is the quickest player in the world" overdrive...only for him to be out sprinted by a Zagreb player. Butthurt.
The amount of verbal masturbating these commentators undergo during these matches is enough to put you off your soup!
Barca are romping home! One has to fear for Arsenal, and for the pride of each and every single one of us. If Arsenal are drawn against Barca, I'll be changing my name to Abdul for a week, and wearing a turban.
Personally I want to win every game. Whether that's in the Champions League or the Capital one cup. Don't understand the mentality of wanting to go out of a competition, and even if after tonight we still drop into the Europey league, I'd still want us to try and win it
