Arsenal

[SantiSuk]

For once Wenger got something right tactically. He brought on a second and third striker almost immediately the lads were 2 down. Very unusual. Looked like quite a useful line up all around once he took that piece of crap, Denilson, off (have you got the message yet Arse?). We did not deserve a win but you would hardly have said we had stolen it if it had come.

Thank you Almunia for the best comedy moment in the EPL this year. It even had me laughing - well more of a snort of derision. If you didn't realise you were headed to the 2nd division or Norwegian football next year then now you can be certain. Our defensive and goalkeeping failures are nothing new - as always it's just a case of whether we can be inventive and ruthless enough up front to score more than our defence will leak - you can guarantee one or two against us every match.

Very unlikely we will win the Premiership now, given the injury list. More likely I think that we let Chelsea and/or Man City slip above us. Although a draw would be nice tonight from a strictly points viewpoint, I still want Chelsea to win this evening to give them the impetus to beat Man U later on. For our long shot to work, it's likely that they have to take at least one point from the Reds and we have to beat the Reds at the Emirates - I'm expecting we will lose more points we should not lose in the non-Man U games.

Luckily the Armageddon option where we slip out of the top 4 looks remote with the Spuds draw yesterday. Their attacking is almost as incompetent as Arsenal's defense (for similar reasons of managerial intransigence at the January shop window by all accounts).

Encouraging pointers from last night. Outstanding strike from Arshavin - we need him to hit a rich vein of form; Wilshere (again); three strikers finding a way of working together without getting in each other's way - a very difficult art.

To those who would mock the Arsenal slide, all I would say is I would like to see how your side get on with 5 out of the first 11 out of commission for a one month plus stretch at a critical time and 3 of those for several months.

Well thats that for this season chaps. And yes, a wonderful moment provided by Almunia.

And I see u are quick to pay us a visit on here

Not at all, i was writing in reply to Aaron Ramsey when WBA just happened to score against you which would be evident in teh timing of the Post..

you'd make a piss poor lawyer Singher in defence of your remarks and actions. what about the reference to the 2nd goal? best be on your way back to the spuds thread where they take less notice to the odd slip here and there.

quite surprising really, as i always thought that the 4 by 2s were always one step ahead of the game in that department.

In whihc the 2nd Goal just happened to go in as i was writing, it's true, sh*t happens..

We are in Phuket on hols and it's peeing down constantly. Which silly boy failed to do appropriate climate research? It's hot and sunny from November to May where we live and I remember good weather for Songkran in Chiang Mai, Hua Hin and Patts.

So looked to football threads for some edification, but it is a quiet international weekend.

At the end of the Beebs write-up of the Wales v England match they throw in "Meanwhile the Football Association will not be making a formal complaint over the shining of lasers in the eyes of players when Scott Parker was replaced by Phil Jagielka." What's all that about then?

Might as well be. Currently I desperately want to abort our Phuket holiday, but it looks like Phuket is cut off from civilisation (Issaan - ok Bangkok then) by road. My decision to drive here looking decidedly suspect with my wife telling a good friend of mine that I only came by car because I'm a cheap charlie (viper in my bosom) .

T*ttingham in " arrogant/ignorant slur " shock horror when the reality is they really should care about us as they can't even score a Goal against us let alone beat us, this whole Season..

Same goes for Wigan.

An unusual statistic it would be if we failed to score a goal against all three relegated clubs this season.

Its one I could live with though.

We don't need a trophy, says Arsene Wenger

Arsene Wenger today insisted his Arsenal team will have enjoyed a successful season even if they end the campaign without a trophy.

The Gunners could be 10 points behind Premier League leaders Manchester United by the time they face Blackpool at Bloomfield Road on Sunday as they look to salvage silverware from a campaign that initially promised so much.

Arsenal lost the Carling Cup Final to Birmingham, exited the Champions League to Barcelona, and were dumped out of the FA Cup by United in the space of two weeks as questions resurfaced over their mental strength and ability to compete at the highest level.

[tigerfish]

also read somewhere yesterday that there will be a major clear out this summer. with the likes of Arshavin, Clichey and Bentner moving on and the hint that Wenger will be going on a shopping spree.

thing is though the funds are and have been there for some time now, hes just to stubborn to admit that he screwed up.

word is on the gooner grape vine that a lot of season ticket holders have just about had enough and want Arsene out by the start of the new season.
