What a crock!!!!

 

Wont have looked as bad as it did for us watching on a tv and not an iphone

This no striker formation for Arsenal is rubbish

 

****ing useless *****

What a shocker the keeper had.

Campbell our best player? I think so

Cant moan about the goal really. Henry did it to Chelsea. but the ref pretty much said "go on take a quick one"

 

Listen to the ****ing reporter interviewing Arsene, really trying to get him to bite and drop himself in it. ******

 

The first goal had me choking on my Weetabix, hillarious, it finally buries Massimo Taibi's howler against Southampton

The comments about getting George Graham back in to sort out the defence certainly have some credence from what I have seen recently.

 

Glad you said it first Dave, what was Arsehole Whinger banging on about!

Think you're well capable of scoring a couple in the second leg

 

There was quite a few to choose from

 

Personally, i think things went down a certain creek when we lost Overmars, petit etc, now i know this was along time back, but the same ability to gell a quality team together seems to have disappeared, we're left with lazy players that only want a contract and a life owed to them at the expense of the supporters, while having one eye on other teams available. If this is Arsene Venger's idea of a winnng strategy then the sooner he goes and takes all this rubbish with him the better, believe it or not i don't take any pleasure in saying this.

I for one can't stand this fiddly play trying to walk up to the goal line before shooting business, every time an attack begins it becomes totally crowded and nothing comes of it, then the others go up our end and there's gaps everywhere, no fiddly rubbish, just straight forward shots, sooner or later they're gunna go in. I makes me feel like throwing something at the box in frustration. Apparently i get "really crabby".
As if i would.

 

I can see where he was coming form though. I havent got my red tinted glasses on either

The ref demanded the ball, stood in campbells way and handed the ball to the other team. Its as if he was giving them a hint to go for it. Plus it was inside the box 8m from goal.

I appreciate Portos quick thinking but i feel the ref should appreciate the situation.

I would feel guilty if our team did it to someone else

End of it though, we didnt deserve it because we had no striker and created very little. Porto looked dead when we scored and looked like a beaten team. Giving them hope was our downfall, oh and buying Fabianski

 

All it needs is a world Class striker and a couple of decent defenders/keeper, but as you guys have said AW wont open his purse, bizarre.

On the upside DB has qualified for his coaches badges, you never know he may read SN Sports

 

Stop your bloody whinging Gooners

You are 3 points off the top, have a look at your remaining fixtures, your hardest game is Spurs away.

3/1 for the title, as some **** that supports Boro would say dip yer bread

 

3-1 was a little flattering to the Arsenal. But fixtures are indeed in their favour.

Spurs have to play Chelsea, Man U and Arsenal before the end of the season so they could hold the key to where the title goes.. I'm a Spurs fan (please don't shoot) and despite yesterdays result, I don't fancy us for a top four finish. We threw it away with all the draws in Jan and Feb.

Interested in Arsenal fans opinions of the Ramsey/Shawcross incident. Terrible accident and heart goes out to Ramsey... Note I feel it was an accident.

I also feel sorry for Shawcross as he was obviously distressed by the incident... Wenger going out and saying he should be banned for longer is out of line imho.

It is strange that these incidents have happened against Arsenal players... do you feel it is because you are just lightweight or because you are targetted?

 

Devil's advocate mode on - Or maybe both? Perhaps Arsenal are "targeted" with a "Robbie Savage" type approach precisely because they have been seen to lose their heads when opposition teams don't stand back and clap the pretty football, but get stuck in and harass them? An example of that was (a young) Cesc having a go at Hughesy when coming off the pitch after Blackburn had "let them know they were there" a few years ago. Not a wise move by the way as there'd only be one winner if it got ugly and it wouldn't be Cesc

Not supporting anyone's leg getting broken, obviously, but I feel Ramsey's was bad luck anyway and don't subscribe to it having been intentional or even a red card at all.

 

Maybe we should wear DMs and go straight for them as the whistle goes aka Vinnie Jones?

I hope things improve anyway, btw,Rossi P no gun pointed mate, but maybe a red n white custard flan. (or two).

 

"Football is about going out doing your best to win the game, not going out and doing your best to stop the other team from winning. A very big difference in my book"

Can't agree with that either - stopping the other team winning is an integral part of any competitive sport, unless you're Kevin Keegan and your game plan consists of "if you score 7, I'll score 8"... I'd have thought any one who remembers a team like George Graham's team could see that? Your view mirrors exactly the criticism regularly levelled at Arsene's teams- nobody has to let you play, you should impose / take charge yourselves.

Maybe it's my age - late 40s (and years of playing rugby) - but I think refs are too whistle happy these days and I actually preferred the contact levels allowed in the Souness type era to today's approach. As an example, the likes of a Best was kicked far more and worse by the likes of Chopper Harris than, say, a Reyes or a Limpar ever weres and kept coming back for more (and a babycham or two ) Reyes was a skilled player but didn't have the cojones for it

hey ho anyway best wishes to Aaron on a full recovery

 

3-1 flattering?

Stoke have 1 form of attack and thats Delap throw. We bossed them after the first 10 mins and were only ruffled by their set plays.

I'd be embarrassed as a manager to set up a team to play this way and soley rely on set plays. Fans pay good money to buy season tickets.

Maybe they were just looking at survival in the PL and will change next year with some more revenue.

Shawcross was a little unlucky and if it wasnt for the protests he may of stayed on the pitch but i think the ref saw a leg bending in the wrong direction and made a decision.

We are roughed up but why not it works and stops us playing. 3 serious injuries doesnt lie though.

Least this way Cesc will be staying as Aaron wont be able to take over from him this summer

All the best Aaron

 

Reyes was a ***** end of, cried if anyone tackled him.

Although I reckon he still see's Phil Neville in his nightmares

 

Interesting night later. With all their 1st team players coming back i think this will be a tough game. I reckon we can score 2 but i think they will put 2 past us.

All about the league now imo.

Bender was awesome on weekend lol how wide does he want the goal

 

Nasri's performance has just got Cesc sold lol

I think Song has been outstanding all season. few mistakes tonight but solid.

Campbell???? looked shaky as **** didnt he?

Bendtner played how i want him to play week in week out. strong and held up ball. good flicks etc and defended well on corners.

We are on a great high at moment and dont have the hardest run in so im hoping we can be there at the end of the season.

 

Phew!!!!!

 

Arsenal grinding out results.......... liking it
