Never watched the Sunderland game, knew the result from before…
For the first time in my life I did not watch an Arsenal match – purposely. Did the result change ? No.
I saw the highlights of the match a good 4 hours after the game. Wenger’s incapability to tutor this Arsenal defense in any fruitful way is the reason for the first goal. Arsenal need a defensive coach. Players have to be taught to be organised. More importantly they have to be taught to work as a unit.
The second was a classic counter-attack, which deserved a goal. Chamberlain was unfortunate to touch it in, but one cannot put the blame on him because it was a mistake. In fact, I give him credit for coming back.
Where does this result leave Arsenal ? As predicted by good old DKD, at the end of last season :
Next season will come and the same thing is going to happen, and then a year after that history will repeat itself for the 9th fucking time.
Wenger’s fucked up summer can be singled out for the Emirates trophy cabinet being empty again. 3 months to re-build the squad after the post Carling Cup final collapse. And what did he do ? Panic buys on Deadline Day. One of which, has gone on loan to Bolton, one who doesn’t play, and 2 who are injured. We are now in February, and are out of all competitions. Last year, we were in all 4. Progress, indeed.
Arsenal fans have also started to be come impatient with Wenger. Following the Milan demolition on Wednesday, ‘Give me football’ a website conducted a survey over 2400 Arsenal fans. It was found that an alarming 63% no longer had confidence in Wenger’s ability to lead the club. Personally, I lost mine after the summer.
Things could have changed. Easily. But I will talk about that later. Arsenal will finish this season, without another trophy. Currently they stand fourth, with the next 5 fixtures coming thick and fast – Spurs(h), Liverpool(a), Milan(h), Newcastle(h) and Everton(a). And based on the current will, form and confidence of this Arsenal side, here is my prediction. LLW(will not go through)W and draw.
I have become alienated from Arsenal in the last few days. Their matches no longer interest me. I feel bad that I can’t watch a team which I love mainly because of the amount of pain it will cause me. Wenger’s arrogance and ego has certainly played a huge role in this. But who cares ? He is getting his 6 million a year, no matter what he does. Perfect management by the board, who seem to be interested in everything at Arsenal, other than football.
I thought I’m the only one that lost interest in watching arsenal playing,you don’t have to watch matches anymore,just ask the team Arsenal is playing against,then you can say whether it will be a win or lose. Wenger should leave and Arsenal should get a better coach to bring the team back to life. RVP can go, am 100% behind him to excel wherever he goes.

After Saturday, I don’t think I’ll watch unless I have nothing else better to do. Watching the match was painful and frustrating. No leadership on the pitch and endless passing that resulted in nothing.

You guys really think you will beat the ressurgent Newcastle at home? And draw Everton away are you kidding me? I am just glad our fixture list includes Bolton, West Bromwich and Stoke! Forget beating Birmingham away in the F.A. cup! If I can borrow a line from the scousers you will be trophyless alone your west london neighbours Chelsea will be right beside you!
I predict a win vs Bolton, most likely a draw vs West Brom, if by then either Capello or Rafa take over then we may beat or draw Stoke otherwise there is no chance! This AVB is adamant in playing team Portugal with the garbage of Meireless, Bosingcrap & Malinda, with Cole, Lamps on the bench un-fucking-real! He just doesn’t cut it although he brought some awesome acquisitions in Romeu & Lukaku for the future as a coach, defensively and for team selection he is pure crap!
If Abra’s get paralyzed (knock on wood) and we stick with AVB I predict we will stay behind on the table except we will like be 11th in the league and you may end up in 8th place!
Enjoy the rest of the season mates! If I were you I wouldn’t be asking for Wenger’s head but for Kroenke’s he clearly doesn’t give two shits about an empty trophy cabinet if the last 8 years aren’t a clear indication of that I don’t know what else will be!
