carmine Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 You sound like you know that this is the end of your champions league era. Wenger should <deleted> off back to Paris and open that poodle pampering palour he was destined for. Yes, we've been listening to that drivel for thirteen years. It's often accompanied by "Tottenham will finish above us this year!". Yawn. In the past that one liner would have irked me but these days it just brings a smile to my face because at the end of the despite, despite Mr Levy's obvious failings were a better side than you are and i'm pretty sure you know it too.

carmine Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 i think it is a case of taking the blinkers off because one thing is for sure...it has nothing to do with a lack of patience. Its just a case of times a changing and move on. Wenger has done a fantastic job but a change is obviously needed. He's been our nemisis for years and i never thought i'd say it but i hope he stays. One of the reasons that makes ferguson so exeptional is the way he's always moving forward whereas Wenger seems delusional and locked in the past.

mrbojangles Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 *OK - I'll admit I'm a wuss - I'll go to bed at my normal Issaan bedtime of 11pm and set the alarm! Normal? In the wifes village about 9pm and they are all tucked up. That's why I can't see me ever settling there full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicog Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Typical TV member debating skills on display here, Chicog. What is there to debate? I support the Arsenal and Wenger, you don't. Not much wiggle room there, I've been a Gooner since the sixties, you aren't going to educate me about anything Arsenal. I've stood on the North Bank when the crowds were less than 10,000. I've followed The Arsenal all over Europe. I've earned my right to criticise. You're just another disappointed glory hunter n00b as far as I'm concerned.

SantiSuk Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I don't dispute your Arsenal credentials (have always admitted I'm a Johhny-come-lately), nor your right to criticise, Chicog. I strongly object to the bladdy rudeness with which you deliver it though. I guess we are destined to keep rubbing each other up the wrong way. Not unusual on web-sites like this.

MiG16 Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Terrible defense. More obvious when we gave away the second goal. Five arsenal players against one.....

Willshere awseome in first half, but still fades a bit in the last quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SantiSuk Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) Expensive injury to Gibbs on Wednesday night. 10 million quid paid to Malaga for Nacho Monreal to avoid having to play Santos for a month. The <deleted> lazy Brazilian was bought from Fernabache for around 6 million in August 11 and is now worthless, unless someone fancies reinventing him as a left sided midfielder - he certainly has zero technical capability at defending and seemed not to care less if attackers got behind him. He had an ok'ish game off the bench against Liverpool (bar one execrable moment) but Suarez was too tired by the time Santos came on. Surely a misfire of legendary proportions in the future Gunner annals Lets hope Giroud and/or Theo don't get injured and I don't blame Arsene for not buying another striker. I don't see any other strikers that were bought in the window that I would have wanted at Arsenal and a few teams were around that probably would have bought one even if the price was a bit OTT, so I'm pretty sure the Wenger answer would be 'wanted one, but nobody selling'. Maybe Arsene can borrow Bent (of the Darren variety) . Kroenke and Gazidis must be happy with the spare money (there was reportedly at one stage 30 million available of needed) safely tucked back in the club's wallet! This team is still capable of CL qualification, but the mere fact that there are 4-5 other teams out there (Chelsea, Spurs, Everton, Liverpool, Swansea) who are equally capable of picking up as many points as we are based on current form, I give it a 30-40% probability at this stage.
