Arsenal Thread 2014/15

[bluechampion7891]

I really wonder what Arsene is doing in the training ground. Arsenal are worse than a pub team at setting up corners, when it comes to positioning.

Then they gift wrap the rags a second goal because they had too many defenders up field. There were 5 mins to go in normal time + a lot of injury time (8 minutes). Do that in the last minute of added on time not with 5 minutes normal time.

They've conceded stupid goals for ages. This season I've seen them concede when they've had eight or nine players in the opposition's last third against Dortmund away, City at home, Anderlecht at home, Swansea away, United at home. Two of those games those goals came at 0-0 in the first half, two of those games Arsenal had a lead (one was a 3-0 and the other was a 0-1 away lead in the second half!)...Wenger hasn't got a clue!

you only have to look at the game v rags. they were being countered and none of their front 8 made any effort to track back. oh, and they were playing 5-0-0-5 for some portions of the game. neville really ravaged them in MNF and his points were really good

I see the Goons had this banner out again yesterday:

Been seen at games for around 18months every now and again. Wonder how Wenger feels about it. Wonder if the players talk about it, and if they do are there a few whispers around the Arsenal training ground behind Wenger and his management team's backs.

When they came back away at Goodison, I thought mentally they turned a corner, they look so weak minded, and they have no Plan B.

But when you consider the players who have left, Wenger has done brilliantly to keep them consistently in the top four.

No he really hasn't, they are barely in the top four in spite of Wenger not because of it. Any other manager would of taken the great team they had and invested in players they've clearly needed for years, and added something close to a defensive strategy. The amount he's spunked, with the team he's had is unacceptable. The ideathat hes done well is a con.

Astute move by wenger signing that contract making it hard for them to pay him off.

Is there any serious chance they want to?

He gets CL every year without spending much money. In other words, he maximises the profits, and that seems to be what the majority of those running the club want. If he misses top 4 there may be reason to think he might be held accountable, but I can't see it being before.

If they were to say goodbye to him are they likely to get another manager who can just about guarantee top 4 but seem so undemanding for the money to win things? As long as he keeps pulling the rabbit out of the hat he gets to keep the hat.

Insert your own ''Arsenal dickhead'' punchline.

In previous years I could see that, but in the past couple years he's spending a lot more. He has bought Ozil and now Sanchez both who weren't cheap. Not to mention Welbeck, Chambers, Debuchy etc. so he can't use that excuse this year.

They make me fucking sick, robbing bastards charged us £64 per ticket this season, luckily City subsidised season ticket holders half of that.

When Southampton go there tomorrow night, their tickets are......... £26 !!!!!!!!!!!!
