   Until AW solves the defene problem the gunners will continue to flatter with their poetry on which incidentally doesnt result in victories but get beaten comprehensively.He shd know by now teams aint going to give the gunners the time and space to play their sexy socce. They are going to throw a monkey wrenc h to spoil the gunners momnetum. That to AW is anti soccer. Well if the other team like this and wins who cares.
   Instead in the space of two season the gunners have been thoroughly beaten by the two top teams.
   He etter know other teams are going to flood the mid field and invite the gunners to attack. Once the attack breaks a well coordinated counter strike with acres of space will result in goals at the Arsenal end.The gunner attack cant find momentum because the other side will mass defenders.Still the gunners try to thread their way in.
   By the way the gunners had more shots at goal thn MU. The difference was the MU attackers had acres of space and less defenders to contend with.

   This is the funniest website I’ve ever read.

   All I hear stuff is like, “LET’S SIGN BUFFON! SACK WENGER! Etc etc”.

   It really is written by unintelligent people with no life experience outside of a pub or a 7/11.

   Funny though!

   It was heartwrenching to see Arsenal capitulate like we did yesterday. Did anyone else get the sensation of watching a group of schoolboys? I’m not talking about their physical age (we have enough players in or approaching their mid-20′s for these not to be labelled kids), but more their mental strength. They folded in the tackle, panicked at the counter attack and flapped when moving into dangerous positions. The maturity and poise was lacking as it does when we meet a mature team.

   The same feeling was experienced when we played Chelsea last. The fact is these lads do not have the mental strength that Wenger has openly bragged about the last 2 years.

   I’ve said it for 2 years. Almunia is simply not good enough. He never will be. He lacks any control over the back 4. When he jitters so do they. Almunia does not dominate and every time the goal is under attack from the opposition I feel that we will concede. If *I* feel these them bet your ass that Wenger and the rest of the Arsenal team surely MUST feel this. In which case why the hell stick with him?

   Denilson is lightweight. Plain and simple. He’s a mid table player. After 18 months+ of regular 1st team football he still passes sideways and still cannot tackle. He’s cursed with not being good enough as an attacking midfielder or as a defensive one in an Arsenal shirt. Stats are good but the reality is he offers us no dimension in either creativity in attack or safety in defence.

   Sagna has had a very poor season. Plain and simple. He is better than that though has not been the same player since he lost his brother strangely enough.

   Clichy is going backwards. I know he’s had a prob this year with injury but his decision making is woeful at the moment. He has cost us some significant losses because of this. His energy is great but he struggles when against wingers with real pace (Nani and young are two recent examples).

   And it is glaringly obvious we miss a top striker. It’s been obvious since RVP got injured. Without him we lack poise and direction. Yes we’ve scored loads of goals without him, however we would be (and have been) screwed if goals dry up from midfielders. Well guys… goals have dried up from midfield so where does that leave us against strong defensive teams? It leaves us 3-1 down or 0-0 draws.

   It’s a disgrace that Wenger makes 45m on the sale of Adebarndoor and Kolo, loses our number 1 striker for the majority of a season, has 2 strikers in Bendtner and Eduardo in and out of the treatment room, has Arshavin playing with a long term foot injury and a documented £30M+ to spend and all we end up with is a 35 year old has been on a 6 month loan. It’s almost laughable.

   Huntelaar would have been a good move. A very good one IMO. Good age, big game experience, international and a true predator in front of goal. Two footed and scores with his head as well as having a point to prove. Yet all we hear is about an untried Chamakh who may or may not come in the summer on a free. FFS… really??!! That’s the best we can do??!! I know it’s only 1 game but I seriously worry for keeping Cesc now. Arsenal are looking worryingly like a selling club and Cesc wants to win stuff. His performances show this clearly. If the team won’t step up he is gonna have little choice but to leave. And then… we’re left with another lad with potential. I’m getting sick of Potential. It’s about time we actually talked about a team that wins games against the big boys.

    so wot if we lose to man u and prob again to chelsea! trust me i would love it if we beat them but we dont need to beat them to win the title!! there is 3 big teams in this league right now and we r 1 of them!! we can beat the other 17 teams! and if we do that then we can win the premiership!! our players/tactics do not work against chelsea/man u as they are stronger physically and jus as fast as us! they can afford to let us play real football..get unlucky and then hit us on the break and get a lucky drogba knee/back of the head goal!!! we might have a chance if we played negative, sat back and played long ball footy! but wait a min…u fans on here would b going crazy and calling for wengers head cause he dont play good foot anymore!! lol!
    so as im a real arsenal fan..i am open minded and trust wenger and understand why we lost! luck is a big part of it!! u lot really dont kno how good u got it!! we play amazing footy, we r not in debt, beautiful stadium, young talented squad! yes squad..id like to see chelsea/man u with 10 players constantly out all season and missin rooney/drogba or anelka for the whole season!! im impressed how our SQUAD has got us this far!! doubt any other teams with our injuries/luck could do this well!! trophies?? ok..league cup or qualify for champions league?? say 3rd/4th place finish…the league cup is shit! i would much rather b in the champions league each season than win a shitty trophy!! oh yeah i forgot..u r all glory supporters..need instant success!! go west..chelsea will give u that!! mugs!! the mighty arsenal is set up for life right now!! i kno u lot cant see the bigger picture but i can and we will stay at the top for the next 100 years! man u, lpool and chelski/citeh are in debt with old players, they might win the odd trophy right now but there future is noway near as bright as ours!!! think about that!! ur all pathetic! i thoguth arsenal fans were open minded and supportive!! obviously not!! makes me feel sick…fabregas..leave now mate..go to barca where the real fans will love ya and support u in everyway..ur too good for these arsenal fans here!!

    Hah! What can I say except that Mr. Wenger has refused to learn form his mistakes for 3 seasons now. He sold Adebayor and Toure without any replacement. (not that he shouldn’t have sold them but there ought to have been a replacement for at least, Adebayor. Thereafter, Van Persie got an annoying injury from a friendly match yet, Wenger refused to get a replacement. He believe so much in his present squad but how many times have they let him and the fans down. He loves Bedtner and in his mind, he believes the boy can replace(stand in for) Van Persie, but Bedtner puts out average performance and can’t do what Robin does. So is Eduardo who is still afraid to put his legs firmly on the ball or make tackles because of that injury he suffered. Rosicky is still struggling to pick up his form. Nasri believes in playing the ball behind him than in front of him, or how do you explain why he play that ball into the United net the same way Rooney scored the 2nd for United? Rather, Nasri chose to pass the ball. The only signing made by Wenger is Sol Campbell’s free signing but is Wenger going to use him for league matches? Wenger has refused to see that his team is too weak and that is why he has failed to win any trophy for three seasons now, apart from the Emirate cup, a cup that had no real opposition. Moreso, these players get injured too often, which is the more reason Wenger needs to strengthen the team with not only new signings, but strong, experience and world-class players. Unfortunately, the January window will close in a couple of hours and we will have to wait till June. Can we cope?

    i love arsenal but i have stopped anticipating anything. i cant hope to win anything and i cant hope the manager signs someone or that he drops denilson coz that will probably not happen for sometime. i have decided to go from game to game.

    As ever we can beat 80% of teams we play – however when the big games come along it just highlights our weaknesses time & time again.
    Yet again we play a weakened team in the FA cup – we get beaten & the rot sets in again.
    Wake up Wenger – we are a 3rd/4th placed team in the League & a semi final team in the ECL. Why can you not see that??
    We need top quality signings if we are ever to take that next step up to WINNING something.
    With Almunia, Denilson, Walcott we will never win a thing.
18. iluvafc says:
    February 1, 2010 at 4:01 pm

    Some comments about Arshavin & Rosicky were a bit harsh imo.
    Yes Arshavin was selfish on occasions, but he must have looked at the fruitcakes available to him & thought “I might as well take a crack myself.”
    As for Rosicky if one can see beyond the pathetic shambles on the pitch he did try to make the best out of the dire situation we got ourselves into. At the very least he was constructive in his play.
    Nasri however was like a passenger.
    The defence was leaky, our fullbacks can’t cross the ball, Song is slow, Walcott is overrated, Eboue is a clown etc.. We’ve all known that for ages now so there’s no point crying over spilt milk.
    But I can see there’s one thing we can all agree on;
    Almunia is a mutated clone of cow fecal matter & Denilson is actually a girl genetically reprogrammed inside a retarded boy’s body.

    February 1, 2010 at 4:51 pm

    sure aluminium is crap – but, you would shit a brick too, if for most of the game, your defenders were only dots on the horizon – but it was arsenals tatics left them down – the top teams should realise that Man U are pussies when against top quality – they compact mid field and only play on the counter – because they are just not good enough to play arsenal at their own game. Arsenal have the quality but wenger was too cocky to sit back a little.
    Being a Lpool supporter, I always here shit about Tor and Gerard being critical to our success. That may be true. What happens if Man U loose Rooney or in arsenals case van P.

    By the way I don’t agree Man u tore arsenal apart. the score line could have easily been the other way around give the chances both sides had. And if only wengers knew the definition of the word defender.

    Also, I cannot believe that so-called arsenal supporters are calling for Wengers head. So what if arsenal have not won anything in a few years. You are in a great position as a club. Every club in the prem. without exception would love to be in your position, including Man U (if they don’t win something every year. they are f*&ked). Besides it has always been the C league you should be concentrating on this season, because it’s your best hope. Best of luck

    February 1, 2010 at 5:21 pm

    Wow!!! So after a lossing against Man U yesterday all of Arsenal players are now Crap? I love football fans. The same team was lambasted when the lost against Chelsea, 9 games later and on top of the PL table everyone was singing their praises. I bet if they win their next three matches and the everyone will change their tune again. We fans are such a fickle bunch.
    Having said that, I still maintain as i have done for since the begining of the season that this team need a target man and a decent GK. I still also maintain that our MF is as good as any team in the PL. I also still maintain that, Bedtner is not good enough, he needs to up his game. Walcott should concentrate on ball control and not just running. He has the pace and with a decent ball control, we will be tearing teams apart.
    Come end of the season, AW will regret not signing a striker and this January and not signing a GK this season. To think that he allowed Shay Given slipped……well, i rest my case. He is such a sturborn man plain and simple.

26. åmli says:
    February 1, 2010 at 8:13 pm

    I think he meant that sagna should play. Wenger should play eboue in the midfield to cover for sagnas forward-runs. I think he is right, sagna goes forward a lot, and when he loses the ball he runs like a madman home, and he comes just in time most of the times. Sometimes the closest CB has to take on his duties on the counterattack, rarely the RM is able to defend well.

    If sagna should continue his often runs, someone who can defend better is needed to help him, or he will haveto go forward less often. He could also run back earlier, if it doesn’t look like a sure goalscoring chance. I know wenger tells ‘em what to do, but our back’s should shoot more often, so sick of the crossballs aimed at Arsh when he’s marked by 4 players. It’s a lot of stupid attacking from our back’s that create our conceeding goals, a little less attack from those two position would be a good adjustment.

    I can’t understand how some gormless idiot blames Song calling slow, etc.
    with out Song in the middle of the park we’d have been hammered by at least six goals, if you want to have a go at someone look no futher than these people:
    Almuina – Useless joke of a keepr
    Clichy – Is the guy palying a useless clone of a once great player?
    Denilson – well I’ve defended him for the last time- he was garbage.
    Arshavin – This little guy has big mouth always gobing off to the media, he’s not a team player, he only plays for him self, we could have had three goals if the greedy little git would pass the ball, he did the same thing last week.
    Fabregas – Where was he?
    Gallas – He needs to be reminded he’s a defender not a midfielder or a striker, ran up the pitch so often i was wondering who was doing all the defending?
    Sort it out Arsene !!!

    February 1, 2010 at 10:14 pm

    So true man, I think you named the main problem, and the easiest and most effective solution to get back in the title-race. I agree with a lot of the above oppinnions, but I was looking for a similer assesment as I have, fans commenting the root of the problem. I did not count the above comments, but there were a lot and very much the same comment over and over. I agree with most of them too, the thing is, it just that it looks like the fans have not seen many matches, just read about it in the papers and concurred with that. People have told me the same thing you are saying about shit crossers from our backs, maybe thats right, but I don’t think they have a fair task going forward. Who on this earth can cross a football 20-50 meters to the head of a midget surrounded by half-a-team in the box, the answer is not even messi or ronaldo.

    Wenger is attacking with more and more of the team every year, looks like the keeper is next in line to go forward. Arsenal has been attackminded ever since wenger started his work, and now everyone has got offensive duties, even both CB. It is the reason for our positive season, but it is time to think a bit defence now, to many goal against us on counterattack. There will be problems when one CB is in attack, both backs are on the attack and we loose the ball. If one CB is on the opponents half, only one back can go forward.

    It only lookes like crossers are shit, cause they cross to the head of the striker when he is totally outnumberd. The solution seems to be a tall striker like the fans and papers point out. This is of course true if we are to continue our current tactics, and also common sense when our strikers are fragile, lasting max 5 games in row without ending up at physio. One of those striker is our main striker who is out for months, lately we have been using a good midfielder as a poor striker, that harms us double. Arshavin who scored 4 goals against liverpool from midfield-position, has not been scoring, he is not as claimed in FM and FIFA10, midfield/attacker, he has proved he is a midfielder who scores many goals. He is a dribbler and good at finding space to run into, he can dribble 3-4 guys and score, he can get the ball from 30 meters and plunk it into the net with power an prescision, he knows when to get in the box when the right pass comes and place the ball well. He is not a tall player, you can not curl balls at his head, but that is happening now, and I do not understand why mr. wenger does this. He is still the manager who playes the most entertaining football, most of the things he does work out really well, this one thing is the most bizarre thing he has ever done however. The solution is free, stop crossing at midgets or buy a tall striker.

    Wenger should not ask his backs cross when there is no hope. Sagna runs so often to the corner flag to cross a ball with no hope, then he sprints back home, he could probably run a marathon. He and the other players who are instructed to cross when there is no hope is going to improve that bit of their game, sadly it cost us a lot of counter-attacks, that often results in goals. The other thing is that they must tire before the game is over, and our WB are often getting injured, they should hold back more often. A big striker would be good, but not needed. A good prospect in CB, who can play when needed for the rest of the season would be nice. A good keeper would be nice, or let one of the younger keepers to make the mistakes almunia is doing a lot of. Denilson is probably a good cover for Song, but he is not good and should be gone soon. No other players are needed. If the point of crossing into the box is to tire the opposing team before we attack, then I can understand it, but if they are really trying to get a goal then they should shoot towards the striker and hope for fumbling from their defence and keeper

    Wrong dude, and what the fuck does it matter what the club did in 1978 or 1929. Yes, we have a long history, we have had championships under george graham, we have been in europe before wenger. The thing is no supporter demanded arsenal to win neither the prem or europe, now people get upset when we get 2nd in prem and lose the semi in europe. Thats just stupid, and next to impossible when our manager refuses to play ugly football to win. Wenger is Arsenal cause arsenal is now known in the world as the club that plays the most entertaining football in the world, it has marked us through 10-15 years. Every supporter of any another team we play will say it will be the most exciting game of the year, and will be without hope if wenger has just a few injuries.

    We are playing this way cause of wenger, the players are thrilled to play like this, the supporters demand it. I also think we are so close this year he should buy big to win the title, but he has chosen not to do that, I still want him to manage even if I dont understand him sometimes. It would be good to get som classplayers, but if wenger was to leave we would have to buy many new players, and lost our biggest stars who are not as much loyal to arsenal as they are to wenger and the game he plays. And if he feels this season is lost already and just want to give less good players some games to aid their development, I say the same thing I said last year OK.

    I have been spoiled by wenger and entertaining football. If he leaves arsenal, I might have to go with him to support his new team, after 23 years. can only watch Arsenal and barcelona now.

    We had 4 important games this season till now and have lost against MU(Home and Away), MC and Chelsea. To get points from these games is very much important in the title race. We cannot depend on other teams to drop points for us.

    We had an awful game against chelsea and MU.We need a striker who can hold the ball pass it on to wide players and move towards goal for the return ball.

    Right now we are playing with Arshavin as central striker. I don’t think he can win us games from there.Let him play his natural role of a winger.He is great there making runs from wide side (remeber a run against blackburn)

    Also we did not had good passing game against MU.Arshavin had two chances where in he could have passed the ball to Nasri.

    We need a defensive midfielder like Patrick Viera.So that Cesc could play his attacking game.I think a thought runs into his mind getting back to defend as Denilson and other midfielders loose ball very easily to a physical challenge. Sometimes you get free kicks out of the challenge, otherwise it creates lot of pressure on back four.

    We have a decent goal keeper in Almunia but he does make mistake in big games.

    Hope we doesn’t loose any more places in league.

    We does not expect to get big names to the club, but we do expect to get big match players.
