Arsenal - Post match thread

[Yates]

Unless Pep wins the treble our fans won't be happy. Understand Pelles has fucked up this season but he's won us trophies and deserves more.

I'd be slightly disappointed but Ok with 4th, semi final champions league and COC but not finishing top 4 mostly due to inept tactics and half arsed performances and even sacking off games in favour of other comps leads to a more sour taste. I'm not gonna call him obscenities as there's no need for that but Pep was the end goal and this 3 years has lead to regression which isn't solely Pellegrini's fault but he played a major part and at the end of the day, this is professional football, it's a results business, if you ain't good enough, you go, surely everyone accepts this fact and I wouldn't be crying out for appreciation if id done a bad job. I'd have stayed after the game though.

 

[Neville Kneville]

It's really sad to witness it, where has the old Kippax spirit gone?

Yeah.

You ever heard criticism of managers back then.

 

[SWP's back]

One day, we will look back with sheer embaressement to how we said goodbye to Pellegrini. Absolutely Pathetic from us 'fans'.

We will look and be embarrassed we employed him.

 

[carlosthejackal]

I wish somebody would at me a Fkin fortune to fail so miserably

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

I'll miss substitutions like those he made today that really change the game for us in a positive way.

That's not even the point the substitutions came way too late after anyone with a brain could see us tired and arsenal charging at us and that we needed a sub. He stood there like the senile old clown he is. And then we inevitably concede and he makes the subs but it's too late and he's blown it AGAIN when we were practically there

 

[blueinsa]

Why?

He deserves fuck all. He's been paid circa £15m in his three years here and will also get a pay off. He's the luckiest twat ever to manage this club and one of the least talented.

That's what happens when you skim read and dont see what my comment was directed at.

You get it spectacularly wrong ;-)

 

[wattle]

I'd agree with the fans reaction today if he wasn't leaving but he is. This was his last home game, whether you like him or not the fans should have given him a clap for the last three years service.

People are too busy calling him an old **** on here. Disgraceful but what can you do? No Jeremy kyle on today so they'll be around all night

 

[Stevies Bald Head!]

Useless tactician from day 1. The way we have played post Pep announcement has been nothing short of disgraceful. The book stops with Manuel and his complete inability to motivate a team and read a game. I'm absolutely fuming.

 

[Mattyc55]

Arsenal weren't even arsed other than a decent 15 minute spell that once again our brilliant manager didn't bother reacting to until the goal went in.

Shambolic season.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

I take it you're still there in the stadium clapping him off ?

But of course not, he had a train to catch bla bla bla...

Not so shocking we're in this position, many predicted it a while back, however, one thing a stereotypical city fan can't take is 'lack of effort'... There are players in that squad who have coasted for 12 months, some longer, the hierarchy failed to address it and we are stuck with them....

Those thinking Pep will come in, wave a magic wand and replenish 7/8 players are deluded, we won't be able to shift a good number of them!!

 

[gregsterinio]

Lol you lot think west ham will lose the last game at home - ffs. This will go to the last game.

 

[Neville Kneville]

I'd agree with the fans reaction today if he wasn't leaving but he is. This was his last home game, whether you like him or not the fans should have given him a clap for the last three years service.

But they think he's ruined the team.

True enough. But we won't see 442.

 

[wattle]

Mods
Is it OK to racially abuse people on here? Is it OK to be sexist or homophobic? So why are you allowing so many ageist comments and abuse? Not good enough

 

[Goater=Legend]

Can anyone explain the reason why we should stay and clap the players and management off?

 

[The slaughtered lamb]

The book doesn't stop with him mate. He doesn't get to decide whether he stays in a job. How far up it goes is open to debate but he's been in the job more than a year too long.

 

[Silva_Spell]

As limp as it was at the end and as obvious as it was at 2-1 that we needed an extra man in CM, today wasn't the problem.

Drawing to Arsenal isn't an unexpected result even when you're winning the league.

 

[deano ou812]

I expected to get royally thrashed today. At least we didn't lose.
MP should have been sacked ages ago. His ineptitude has been shown for how he really is. Funds galore at his disposal and he's turned us 180 degrees. Teams used to fear us, now they can't wait to play is.

The last bit more so,the fear factor has gone,we're just going to have to suck it up and let pep get to work fixing all the good work done by Mancini and then destroyed by pellegrini ..

 

[SWP's back]

pretty pathetic reaction from the fans today. agree this season has been poor, but he still deserves a good send off. feel for the guy

He deserves fuck all for taking this club backwards.

 

[mancity1]

I won't call otters out directly but that is double standards (not by you)...there was plenty of slagging off of people who said we would struggle to get 4 th and saying MP should have gone last season.......they get abused and shouted down lots and there wasn't this then

There not being shouted down much any more.

Hate to say I told them so but I said it even after our loss to West Ham.

I might still be wrong but we have to rely on West Ham again.

It was obvious to me from around December 2014 the players we had were not up to scratch and on top of that we were being managed poorly.

Younger fitter , hungrier players that have the bottle to compliment some of the side that you need to build the team around.

Leicester and Spurs have shown it can be done and I expect both Spurs and West Ham to improve next season so there is no reason why we cannot pick up some gems that don't cost the earth.

Time and again we find they are out there and available.

If any body is to blame for us missing out on top four its the people who didin't bite the bullet and get rid of MP and ensure we had a better first eleven than we have now.

If Leicester' and Spurs scouts can assemble a half decent side for much less than the bigger boys spend to get what we had this season then provided we employ the right people we should do as well if not better than them in the transfer market.
