    Probably need 8 wins out of 9 to do it.

    Yip, it looks like that, tall order with the way we are playing. Tomorrow will be interesting, Newcastle with new manager could do it, if they do then it could hit Leicesters confidence.

    Sanchez deserves as much, if not more, criticism than Ramsey gets. After all, he's just turned into a player that runs around a lot and gives the ball away constantly.

    won 6/15 this year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,782 ✭✭✭emergingstar


    Pity Wenger didn't leave after our first cup win


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,336 ✭✭✭Mr.Micro


    Just as well I was not expecting much, so my disappointment is muted. Our season falls apart all at once each season, so that is our consistency. Play for 4th place now.

    I think many would have predicted the season to collapse around this time of the year as we always choke around now but the manner of this pitiful, pathetic and embarrassing display since january is shocking and just simply unacceptable

    Not one single abusive text from any of the lads, no Facebook tagging, not a single meme in sight. It's sad when you don't even get slagged anymore because it's just expected Arsenal will fall flat on their faces.

    Pathetic.

    At this stage if anyone wants wenger to stay past this season they have no motivation or ambition


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,012 ✭✭✭✭Alfred Borden


    I know we dont have the resources of City and the likes but surely we have so many players that we could bin to raise transfer funds? Giroud, Walcott, Chamberlain and Wilshere could fetch us decent fees. Moving Rosicky, Arteta, Flamini and Mertesacker off the wage bill would also help.

    Offloading English players ain't gonna happen. Maybe one if you're lucky.

    I want to see a new manager and a huge overhaul. I do not want Wenger to sign the usual one or two and continue with this pathetic team like he's been doing for a decade. It's time for massive changes. It's not quite Clough at Forrest but Jesus Christ have some fücking ambition. 4th place in the league is still winning fück all.

    I think he either has to go or come out at the beginning of the summer and do something rediculous like sign Mahrez, Bale and Abumyang(whatever).

    There needs to be a big big change

    There's really no point in raising transfer funds. The club has more than enough money to sign some top players, but they choose to do **** all. Our biggest problem going forward isn't even Wenger IMO. Kroenke needs to go and then Wenger.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,433 ✭✭✭wandatowell


    Just so disappointed after that result.

    Thought the players would perform today but then never got going until it was too late

    Old dogs don't learn new tricks.
    Wenger has long seen his best days.
    Ambition to win things is low on the goals of the people who run Arsenal.

    Ozil and Co should leave. Arsenal don't deserve them

    This times a thousand. There's loads of money there just no will to spend it. The club could drop 100 million on players in the summer if they wanted to - they can well afford it.

    I don't think spending money would do any good as things stand anyway. I think theres changes needed at board and management level first.

    Which Co?

    surely the opposite is true?
    it would be logical to want this if you want Arsenal to do well, therefore to go against it would require some sort of motivation and ambition?

    ambition = a strong desire to do or achieve something.
    motivation = a reason or reasons for acting or behaving in a particular way.

    Don't say sanchez because hes been dirt for quite a while now.

    What's people's opinions on him? Was his great form at the beginning of his arsenal career just a purple patch of great form? Is what were seeing now his natural level?

    Cecq and Sanchez


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,404 ✭✭✭Royale with Cheese


    I agree with whoever posted during the game about Sanchez. I'd be worried this isn't just a dip in form. He does the same thing every time he gets the ball, cut inside and try and go the long way round. Even if it works now he rarely gains any great advantage from doing it.

    Wenger needs to go as much as Kroenke. His tactics have been found out a long time ago, plus I think he's lost the players. Their performances have got worse rather then getting better. so much for trying to be their friends, don't work nowadays in the footballing world we live in. They need a kick up the backside and Wenger can't seem to do it.

    Plus his transfer policy has been shocking at times. Kroenke can get the hell out and take Wenger with him. Things will get worse then better.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,205 ✭✭✭Gringo180


    Absolute joke arent we. Disgrace. Gutless. Is anyone in here defending that idiot Wemger. Clueless


  • Posts: 12,548 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Cecq and Sanchez

    Sanchez should be one lifting the team and doing something.

    He needs to spend a few hours/days/weeks using his left foot.

    Second season blues it seems, most players go through it. I think the whole stop start season hasn't helped him, plus playing in the Copa America seems not to have helped. He has had sparks of old form this season, the Leicester away and Utd home game. But like most of the squad they just don't look bothered.

    Only Ozil Monreal and Cech plus Welbeck and Elneny who started late can hold their heads up this season. The Rest have been a disgrace.

    You either leave a hero or stay long enough to see yourself become the villain.

    Think it was me. One time today he got the ball on the left wing and cut inside and was just marshalled along til he was on the far corner of their box before passing to I think Chambers. Was better than his usual thing of giving the ball away I suppose.

    Time to go Arsene. You built one of the best teams to ever grace the English game but also let that team disintigrate into one of the most gutless teams I have ever watched. Thanks for everything but your job is surely untenable now.
