That 2nd half was a shambles, we shot ourselves in the foot and never looked like we were going to recover it. Really really poor.

Trouble is Treble, Arsenal are so poor against the big clubs. The reason why they always fall short.

Wise words mate. It just makes me even more gutted we didn't beat them at ours, like they deserved. Mutton dressed as lamb I think the phrase is Sky??

I don't know how fans can get so angry about performances and results this? We're perfectly on track to perform exactly as always.

What the **** happened at HT ? We were in control of this game and then just threw it away. ****ing shambolic 2nd half.
 
Another gutless clueless exhibition from a Wenger team, same old.Changing the playing staff won't make a blind bit of difference to what's going on.
 
Meh, lets be honest, apart from the deluded, we all knew that when it comes to the moments that really matter, we would bottle it, nothing has changed this season. Can't even get angry about this **** anymore.
 
ah well, my decision to give up my season ticket is now fully vindicated. I was beginning to regret with the early season promise, hopefully my ticket is found its way to another mug!

Probably asked them to shut up shop rather than go for 2-0 (again).

Well that didn't work very well, we conceded less than 2 mins into the 2nd half. Really angry at this performance, we were well in control in the first half and looked hungry and energetic, then we come out in the 2nd half and look like we didn't give a ****.
 
Anyway, people are entitled to their opinion about Arsenal, but I for one am not going to give up on us because we've had a bad week.
 
I don't even get angry with these displays anymore, I'm accustomed to them. Because really and truly, they happen so frequently that it's natural for me to expect the team to perform like that when we're expected to actually make a statement of intent.

I always felt this before, but hopefully even the most ardent Wenger supporter can see that today's result proves Wenger isn't going to take us to the level we want to reach. There is absoluetly no justification for him to extend his contract in May 2017 and I will be livid if he does.

Anyway, 9 points behind Chelsea already and I can't see us catching up with them. Battling for a Champions League spot it is. Should have had the last 10 years on repeat. Groundhog day all over again.
 
Hmmm really poor performance second half, probably the worst we've played this season.

We've all said it, and I had not wavered from it even with our early season promise, but off the pitch the club needs a shakeup, if only to freshen things up, starting with the manager.

You don't need to give up on them per se, but don't expect them to do anything right when we're meant to deliver because we rarely ever do it.

As far as I'm concerned, it's another battle for 4th, probably getting knocked out of the CL Last 16 and we could possibly go on a decent FA Cup run. I will still support them obviously, but I will also dismiss any talk of the title because I just don't think we're good enough to win it, frankly. I thought that at the start of the season anyway but now it's clear as day we haven't got the guts for the challenge.
