You can only lose three games if you want to win the league.

That's the first out of the way.

We are indeed a club in decline and is being imposed by management and the board. Heads should roll.

Patience.

Calling for him to be sacked now, with the season already started and only 2 weeks left in the window, is pointless really.

We all know the lack of transfers problem.

But what I'd like to point out is that the team we had out today, at home, against Aston Villa, should have been good enough to win regardless of if we were at full strength or not.

Let's be realistic; today's match was not simply a result of not signing players, it was due to playing ****e and making bad decisions.

Yeah right. Nothing to do with your pal Wenger and the lack of depth :rolleyes:

Me absolutely.

Getting that group of players to 4th place last year was an achievement in itself. But he is absolute shocking in the transfer market. He lets all of our top players leave and signs nobodys. I'm **** sick of it at this stage and it's time for him to **** off.

I taught he should have gone at the end of last season.

The man's has ****ing pissed on everything he's achieved with Arsenal. Leave with some grace and admit you ain't up to the task anymore. How he got away with not spending any cash on players this summer is utterly amazing. I'm glad the fan's got on his back, too long now he's got off the hooks. That performance was a shambles. Yes the ref was awful but so were we. No fan in his right mind could justify that today.

Fail to prepare, prepare to fail. Wednesday night is gonna be a long one.

Soups123 · 17-08-2013 05:00PM

Just nothing to say really.

Drexel · 17-08-2013 05:00PM

Missed Arteta badly out there. Villa were breaking and we had no one to hold them up. Wengers biggest mistake is not having cover of any kind for him. Disaster start to the season. Oh and we must get a center back in before next week.

FearDark · 17-08-2013 05:00PM

I've never felt so low as an Arsenal supporter in all my life. Someone is choking this club, there is so much potential to do well and yet here we sit on day one of the PL season, possibly bottom, that aside - we're not going to loose THAT many games this season but we will loose just enough to get us 5th or 6th place which is not good enough anymore. Action needs to be taken NOW. I genuinely feel sick after watching that.

Alfred Borden · 17-08-2013 05:00PM

Turning into Liverpool, disgraceful.

Wonder who we will pick up in our trolley dash now.

Its not just that!

It is for the last 8 years how arsenal have been rubbish period.

What have we achieved?

How many of our star players have gone and not replaced? how many panic buys have we had? etc etc.

Its not as if this crap has just happened this summer. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR NEARLY 10 YEARS!!!

But the shareholders won. They made big money.

brianregan09 · 17-08-2013 05:03PM

Yeah that game made me sick being honest

nothing more to say I've always supported wenger ....But looking back on this summer , We didn't sell any top players...but we still sold the rest of them

Wenger will probably blame the referee for the entire thing. Just wait and see.

our midfield was overrun, we clearly need a DM. We need a bit of pace, Creativity and strength up forward, that's another buy. A Centre back is needed. A experienced Goal keeper. Wenger will spew out some old crap but he has lost the fans and will have to buy no matter what. Expect the usual French league signings and bargain basement drivel.

Something I noticed during the Napoli game, but it seems it's the same old Arsenal - for good and bad..

No time for Sarcasm now Marty. This is some serious **** going down.

FearDark · 17-08-2013 05:06PM

That team has no backbone whatsoever. The players must be worried themselves seeing nobody come in, it was clear they were under immense pressure today. When one or two decisions went against us we absolutely fell apart. No leadership at all and nobody to take control of the game. Jack tried, got fouled a few times and instead of getting on with it he whinged and moaned and got frustrated.

Luis price has just gone up a notch!!

That's the spirit, united lost their first match last year sure.

Seriously though, my patience with Wenger is almost at an end now. We need something special from him in the transfer market now, and we need three or 4 of them or he can bugger off.

Even leaving the shocking referee aside we were awful today. Got off to such a good start too.

All the problems we seemed to have overcome for the last stretch of last season seem to have returned. Mainly toothless upfront, fragile at the back, lacking physicality in too many areas and just too damn easy to play against.

On another note, I couldn't watch the last few minutes, what happened to Sagna? Has he really broken his neck or something?

I think that City game glossed over many of our defects. But today it's clear it's a team that's needs buys. It's sad to see a team like Villa come to our stadium and make us look like mugs. with a few great signings we would have beaten them.

Seriously who in here still backs wenger?

I do. He has done it every year for years now, often on a fraction of our rivals budgets. This is the first time he has really had the money to spend. If he doesnt buy following today, I'll reconsider. But as of now, I'm still backing him. Ask me again in two and a half weeks, and it could be a very different answer.

FearDark · 17-08-2013 05:08PM

I think this is the first time most Arsenal supporters want Wenger gone if he doesn't spend in two weeks. The boo's at the end of that game surely mean he has to go out and be seen to do something now.
