So thats Van Persie and most likely Adebayor out for Utd. as well as this absolute disaster of a game, splendid.

wandatowell · 01-11-2008 04:55PM

no its not bud, it can be found on some websites tho.

Theo just taken off with his arm in a sling,

Clichy just scored

Wreck · 01-11-2008 05:01PM

fcuking disaster.

Arsenal1986 · 01-11-2008 05:04PM

Oh god is all that can be said.......looks like eboue right wing and vela and bendtner up front against United!!?!! That could be a serious thumping.....He has got to spend in january at least a new centre back and DMC at the very least

Arsenal1986 · 01-11-2008 05:06PM

i cant believe were already at the stage where it makes no odds to me how chelsea and united do and finding myself hoping Villa drop points every week....

Something gotta be done. Our season is just falling apart (rather earlier than usual)

The only good thing to come out of today is Gael scoring. Everything else is sh1t. I'm not even going to bother watching this on football first. I've said it before in this thread and i'm going to say it again. Mid table glory by christmas.

We've now dropped points against the 2 teams promoted, Sunderland (14th), tottenham (last) and Fulham (15th). I can't wait for the 'top of the table' clashes.

Arsenal1986 · 01-11-2008 05:13PM

whats gone so wrong with the defence this year?its the same 4 like......is it they miss having flamini track back or their weakness at set pieces/high balls has got found out?

Fuzzy_Dunlop · 01-11-2008 05:14PM

Hahaha i can't believe Clichy actually scored! And i had just turned the stream off like 30 seconds before hand. What a **** time to get his first goal.

Don't think the game coulda gone any worse, really really bad.

They had all week to prepare for the Rory Delap throw ins - nothing doing. I can't blame Sagna or Clichy. But the other two clowns need a bollocking.

WENGER OUT!!!!!!

wandatowell · 01-11-2008 05:16PM

Im pretty sure Toure was caught in no mans land for Stokes second goal, now
to be fair the ball took TWO deflections off the goalscorer, pretty sure the second deflection was off his arm too but still no excuse.

2 Words - Mikael Silvestre. There was a reason United only played him at LB the last couple of years.

newbie2 · 01-11-2008 05:19PM

Jebus - I'm still fcuking livid. There better be some serious money spent in January - Silvestre is a waste of a free transfer and gallas and Toure are gobsh1tes. GGRRRRRR

Well your season is as good as over regarding the PL, but CL could yet bring some cheer. That said Wenger cannot sustain his youth first policy and remain a credible coach.

Didn't expect Arsenal to implode like this. :eek:

wandatowell · 01-11-2008 05:40PM

Somebody hand Wenger some alka seltzer's before he gets sick again

leninbenjamin · 01-11-2008 05:42PM

**** sake... this season is not looking a good one. ordinarily 9 points behind at this stage of the season wouldn't be the end of the world, but given the vulnerabilities of this team (and the consistency at which they appear) i think that's game over.

Especially considering you're the only big 4 team yet to play one of the other 3. You had the easiest starting fixture list of the big 4. The clashes against rivals are now more important than ever if you want a chance.

wandatowell · 01-11-2008 05:51PM

Utd next week...... O GOD

Just read that Cesc might have picked up his 5th yellow of the season, this mean he's out
of the Manure match???

although i fully respect your opinion wreck and in fairness Arsene Wenger should not be fully answerable to whatever is going on at the moment, however we are coming to a crossroads at arsenal Fc and i believe ruthless decisions are going to have to be made and heads should roll if this young team are to achieve their potential.
This young team has no leadership and it is the senior most players that are making most of the mistakes. William Gallas in my opinion is a self obsessed egotistical knob who cares about one man and one man only - William Gallas! He is not fit to captain this club or even play for it. He hasnt done his job. He wouldnt get away with it at United or Chelsea.

Almunia has never been trustworthy and that wasn't just proved wednesday night but on other occasions most notably when he probably cost us our nearest chance of winning a european cup, as he let in goals v barca that really he should have done better with.

in fairness to kolo it could be a case of exhaustion as he had busy schedule last year + the bout of malaria will not have done him good.

Silvestre, although is has been thrown in to a club with unbelivable defense problems and hasnt played an awful lot of games for us, should be doing better.

I do wonder are these the calibre of player we need to lead Arsenal FC, a club which has set unbelievably high standards for themselves over the years. the new stadium was intended to generate revenue for the club and although it is doing that wenger stated over the summer that he is constrained in the transfer market as the club are paying a mortgage on it.

things are coming to a head. the board have to decide what they want out of this football club. to collect their dividends every year and hope we'll at least come 4th, or do they want to give this club every chance of becoming the biggest and best in the world for a change. no one is suggesting break the bank but bloody back the team and the man who built the team or get out!

On the other hand if it is a case of Wenger believing that this team can achieve their potential with THAT DEFENCE! Then perhaps.....he has taken us as far as he can take us.

premier league site says today's card was his fourth.

Frisbee · 01-11-2008 06:21PM

Was playing a match today so couldnt see it. Thought I heard wrong when the guy on the radio said we lost. Sickening Losing to Fulham, Spuds, Hull and Stoke?
Yeah, serious title challenge this year...
