Arsenal

Quadruple is back on, lads

God,when I saw this thread had been bumped I thought I'd see a quote from Arsene saying Ramsay had a setback and he's due back in 2015.

[gizmo1990]

I hope the journalists keep pestering Arsene regarding the current situation on the supposed internal investigation into our injury woes. It might all be bollocks and just bad luck but there surely must be something more to it.

'Top' of the league by absolutely miles.

[humdrum]

surely that is screwed by some fair margin by diaby alone

[gizmo1990]

Gnabry out now too, knee apparently..

"At the moment, we have not come to any conclusion … every case can be very different and you need to analyse very deeply why things happen. I'm surrounded by people who want to enhance their performances because they have another problem in their life and it's not always necessarily a good thing to do."

[gizmo1990]

Yeah just been reading this. It all sounds very vague and more than a little unbelievable. Basically we're asked to believe that it's the fault of the players for taking 'other supplements' and also 'problems in their lives' Hmmm... so it's only Arsenal players that suffer from those things..? It's not like it would be the same for every other clubs players?

I appreciate that they haven't finished their investigation but it already seems like that's the way they're heading.

[Frosty]

As a Spurs fan Wenger (inadvertently?) implying that impotence is a common side effect of playing for Arsenal cheers me up no end.

Even if most players would rather have a permanently floppy cock than play for Tottenham.

[Rev]

Spurs fans are obsessed with cocks. Although grateful this time you didn't try and make it balance on a basketball.

[Silent Runner]

Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Monreal, Arteta, Flamini, Rosicky, Cazorla, Podolski, Giroud

I would prefer Oxlade-C from the start. Ramsey on the bench.

[Swallow]

Podolski has been shocking so far. Giroud keeps trying one touch passes but it's breaking the moves down. Could be a long afternoon.

[Silent Runner]

Vermaelen about 6 yard from Naismith there.

[humdrum]

I hate moaning about referes, but he is basicly giving them the go ahead top kick lumps out of us. I love a strong challenge as much as anyone that naysmith challenge on arteta was shocking and not even a booking.

[Silent Runner]

The ridiculous part is that he booked Osman for what was a lesser offence to the tackle on Arteta or Cazorla.

[Mars]

[Steve007]

Utter dross. Again.

[SeanR]

fiddlesticks

[Jonathan_Kerr]

Everton are playing like Arsenal. And Arsenal are playing like, well, Fulham.

Will be glad to see the back of Vermaelen this summer.

[Silent Runner]

So easy for teams playing against us these days.

[Jonathan_Kerr]

The way we're playing, we're going to have to rely on other teams to take points off Everton to retain our top 4 place.

[dizogg]

You look worse than Man Utd these days!

[humdrum]

so that tackle from flamini is meant to be as bad as the his on arteta? fuck off. and while i am bitching how wasn't naysmith offside for lukaku's goal. clearly standing in the keepers way!

[The Grand Pursuivant]

What a massive load of fucking shit. I know we have injuries but it's like half the players don't even want to be on the field.

Fucking try you overpaid cunts.

[carlito]

We're so one paced, it's very hard to see what we can do to change that.

Ignoring the effect on us going forward whenever both fullbacks are forwards, which is always, teams are breaking against Flamini, Arteta, Mertesacker and Vermalen if they win possession anywhere on the pitch.

[hercules]

When was the last time we played well? Easily before Ramsey got injured. We are so slow and shit it's unreal.

[carlito]

Really tough to call the subs.

Chamberlain has form of giving the ball away in midfield but we could really do with his pace.

I feel that Monreal's crosses might lead to something for us but beyond that it's looking pretty fucking lean.

[NexivRed]

Things tailed off when Ramsey and Theo got injured, and really hit the skids when Ozil went too.

Second goal is offside though tbh, not that it looks like it'll matter.

[Steve007]

So can you all see it now? Can you see where I am coming from?

Fucks sake.

[carlito]

That we aren't very good without our best players?
