Haha, what a f***ing joke. Goodbye Europe. :banghead:

Yep Sczcesny sure is awesome...

we are in europe whatever happens.
the joy of lifting a trophy should never be underestimated.
i guess if we do tumble into the europa league we will be too high and mighty to want to win the f***er.
top 4 aint a trophy, a trophys a trophy.
i want to win the lot

[Dejan]

We're not getting Champions League next season.

if bouldy does,nt fancy the 1st team coachs job do you fancy bringing your motivational skills to the gig?

[starmandb]

i would love to see a whole new starting eleven next season

yes don,t want that double player of the year playing for us?

[starmandb]

Don't think we have won a single game without Arteta this season. I can't remember any

ac milan 3 nil

[starmandb]

Guys what just happened.. was at work.. could not catch the match barring the injury time.. can anybody please summarize..

*Great game for the neutrals
*Many chances wasted from both teams
*Szcz was poor
*Gerv played well today. Much like Hleb, was all over the place but had no end product when in front of goal
*Sagna got injured early forcing Coquelin to come on
*I lost count on how many penalties should have been given
*Ref was sh**

The saddest part being we score three goals and still loose. Was our defence on some wank tour ?

we did,nt lose

[VCC]

having watched this again Gervinho was one of the better performers,Szezny performance is worthy of a week on the bench,

[ThereIsBearCüm]

still can't believe that a team with nothing to play for wanted it more than us

[friedslice]

Disgrace. Disgusting. Atrocious. I could go on. Same old shit. Should dock a months wages for another utterly abysmal showing.
They should be utterly ashamed.

Who's Wenger moaning at? It's his terribly drilled, highly unorganised defence which has cost us time after tiem for the past 6 seasons...
But most of us could of predicted that a long time ago.

This was the fear I had. A few weeks back, when we moved clear of Spuds and more recently after the Chelski game, I checked the remaining fixtures of the 4 fighting for the remaining CL spots and honestly, I looked at them thinking "Norwich will come as unknowns, play like it's a Cup Final, can we handle it?" Well, we know the answer. And I don't go into the WBA thinking that we're favourites. Which is ridiculous looking at the league table, personnel, respective budgets etc. Season upon season now, when games have truly mattered, the truly definitive ones, we've faltered. It's depressing beyond belief. We don't the mentality in our personnel to carry our reputation. Alot of lower placed teams play us a Cup Final, partly knowing that we're vulnerable, partly cos it's a chance to get a scalp against a historically big team. Our lot ain't up for it. The loss of Arteta has completely unbalanced the midfield and in effect the entire team. We're so vulnerable through the middle, there's no flow or control in our possession. Ramsey, I have to say, I don't know if he will ever fit in the formula of a team that Wenger wants to play. For me Ramsey doesn't find the space, isn't mobile in small spaces, doesn't see the early, decisive pass. Yes, he's got a great engine, he tries hard etc, but that's what he looks like when he's playing right now... a trier. He's trying to do something that another world class midfielder would do and make look natural.

Oh, well, I said in a post on another thread, maybe we need a season out of the CL. This current squad can't sustain a serious challenge on all levels, i.e PL, CL and F.A Cup. We're not a league winning side, yet we try to win the big 3 and we fall short. A season out of the CL, a concentrated league challenge and cup challenge with an improved squad might mean we win something, and therefore install a belief, give that experience of getting over the winning line. We tried winning everything with a young squad and often got massacred in the big, decisive games and that affects a player's mentality, the mentality around the whole club. There's alot of scarred players.

^^^^^ good post.........winners make it happen losers let it happen.

[Arsenal Tone]

Lucifer always gets it spot on!

[CynicalGooner]

You know what pisses me off more than anything else about yesterdays game?

For their second goal when Vermaelen did his "I'm a striker, watch how it's done" thing and went up the field when there was no cover, the moment I saw him go up I knew we'd be in trouble when they got the ball. The rest of our team knew it too cos they shit themselves. Koscileny and Gibbs were left to deal with a 3v2 and they score the type of lucky goal we are experts at conceding.

f**k sake TV5 not again! Stay in your position! is all I could think

[Arsenal~Fanatic]

TV5 off late has caught this Alex Song syndrome where he petulantly rushes forward at the hint of an opportunity. You err on the side of caution and not the other way around. Song and TV5 have been guilty of spending more time in opposition half than their own.

I didn't see any of your game yesterday as I was at work but was that for their equaliser, so no need for TV to even be up there?

I could under stand it if you were losing but god knows what he was thinking.
