I wonder what shit Wenger will come out with to explain that. Fucks sake.

Eh it doesn't matter what he says publically, privately he'll give them a rollicking. He's not a total cretin.

At least this hopefully settles the "Maybe he won't buy a keeper and Fabianksi will be No.1 next year!" theory....hopefully.

It's clear out time. That's a disgrace, no other word for it. This is the low point of three or four years of complacency and half hearted rubbish. You cannot forgive it, injuries or not the attitude is a million miles off. Do these players actually give a flying fuck? I'd withhold their wages.

Amazing scenes for the neutral though.

God. How do we know Fabianski won't do a Gomes and be THE BEST KEEPER IN THE WORLD next season? We have too keep him!!!!!!!!!!

Well obviously you're being sarcastic, but Gomes always looked like potentially a very good keeper, he just made some silly mistakes in his first season. Fabianski has never looked like a good keeper.

But seriously, Almunia is at an age where he simply won't get any better and Fabianski has always looked dodgy so who cares about him. Flog the clown and bring a professional in to replace him.

Nor Almunia. Both absolute dead ducks. When was the last time an Arsenal keeper had a good game? Mannone vs Fulham, had a blinder. Other than that pure rubbish since Jens left. How Wenger can witness goalkeeping crimes week in week out and not address the problem is beyond me. Incredible. I think it's time to question the boss, this is simply not good enough.

Almunia vs Barca 1st leg? I totally agree though, amazing how he refuses to get a proper keeper when it pretty much could have won them the league this season.

True enough. I don't know how Arsene can justify not buying a keeper. All three have cost us a lot of points this season.

Almunia can't even kick a fucking ball straight yet we have had that mug as our "number 1" for two seasons now.

Campbell was good. Clichy had a decent game until the last goal which he deserves to be crucified for. Walcott made a couple of good chances for himself and took one.

Bendtner was rubbish. He creates nothing for anyone around him - one good pass for the Walcott goal and the rest was rubbish. Rosicky crap. Nasri mostly rubbish. Silvestre looked lazy. Eastmond looked lazy and way out of his depth - how he can even be considered a possible defensive midfielder is obscene. Diaby has one good trick that always works (when he switches it between his feet to beat a man) but otherwise actually contributed nothing.

Fabianski was beyond words and looked incompetent. He's not a goalkeeper.

This team is nothing without Fabregas and Van Persie. We've been saying it for years now but this squad is full of players who would be bit-part in any other title-hopeful squad. We can talk about clear outs all we want, but it's not just about getting rid of players. We need 3 or 4 more world class players, and that's just not going to happen.

Bottom line: we haven't won anything in five years, and we won't for another five.

Ray Hudson was commentating on the Espanyol/Barca game yesterday, and he said this: "So many triangles in this Barcelona team though, Phil, isn't there? It's like a kaleidoscope, man. Pure rotational football."

which Alan Hanson used to say about us all the time, albeit in a less amusing way. We had no triangles at all in the second half, save for the Dairylea that Theo Walcott spread on his crumpet after he went off.

Diaby epitomised the attitude we had today, dithering, careless and utterly without direction. This could have been a game where we chipped away the goal difference on Man United and Chelsea, not so much to win the Prem, because that was never going to happen, but to battle for second place and it's automatic Champion's League spot.

Wenger goes on about desire and experience, but I could not think of two less applicable adjectives to describe that second half performance. Where was the desire to get the third goal? Where was the experience when the game was won at 2-0 to have the sense to just retain the ball, play it safe and wait for the gaps to appear. We showed no respect to Wigan in the second half, giving the ball away cheaply all over the pitch and we showed absolutely no conviction in attack at all.

Fabianski made a mistake, but that was far from the most troubling aspect of the game. We were poor as a team, and despite all of the players that are out for us, we had more than enough in every position on the field to beat Wigan and to beat them comfortably. We needed just one person on the pitch to grip the game and set an example for everyone else, but no one did.

Steve will now no doubt tell us how Wenger is a cunt who is ruining the club, all 11 players are the shittest he has ever seen in an Arsenal shirt and that the only light he can see at the end of the tunnel is the club being purchased as an idle plaything by one of the most disgusting individuals the Russian criminal fraternity has managed to spawn so we can spend league ruining sums of money on Villa, Silva and co. The next few pages of this thread promise to be a real treat.

You either want to press for a third goal or you want to play it safe. You can't have it both ways.

I fucking hate these completely unqualified "so and so is rubbish" posts.

Bendtner was rubbish. He creates nothing for anyone around him - one good pass for the Walcott goal and the rest was rubbish.

He set up one goal, and freed Walcott on a number of occasions. It's a fucking thankless role playing up front on your own especially when you are given as little as he was. He's may not be pleasing on the eye but he does enough to justify his selection for sure, 5 goals and 5 assists in the last 8 league games is just dandy by me.

Rosicky crap.

Retained the ball far better than most of the team, passed fairly well and tracked back to put in some good tackles. Was limited because there was no meaningful movement around him

Nasri mostly rubbish.

Aside from Walcott getting in behind I thought he was our most likely source of creating a goal. Yeah he got tackled a few times by Figaroa, but at least he was trying to penetrate. I did feel that he should have shouldered a bit of responsibility to get the team going though - would have prefered him to be more central rather than the wide positions he mainly occupied.

Eastmond looked lazy and way out of his depth - how he can even be considered a possible defensive midfielder is obscene.

I mean what the fuck? Seriously. A youth teamer comes in an has a solid game like that and this is genuinely what you think. Jesus Christ.

Diaby has one good trick that always works (when he switches it between his feet to beat a man) but otherwise actually contributed nothing.

Diaby's real quality is that he can receive and hold onto the ball under pressure and he beats players with strength which is unique in our team. He failed catastrophically to show those qualities today as he did against Spurs and in both legs against Barca which is a shame. Slotting Walcott in wide when he had a great chance to shoot also gave further credence to the questions about his decison making stemming from failing to put Walcott through at the Nou Camp at 1-0 up. The boy is in a bad patch but he's got bag loads of talent

This team is nothing without Fabregas and Van Persie. We've been saying it for years now but this squad is full of players who would be bit-part in any other title-hopeful squad. We can talk about clear outs all we want, but it's not just about getting rid of players. We need 3 or 4 more world class players, and that's just not going to happen.

Obviously without our two best players we are far worse, but that criticism can be levelled at any team - RVP and Cesc are stellar players. I agree we need a few players and 3 or 4 is probably about the right number, but we have hugely capable squad. Bendtner is our third choice centreforward, Campbell and Silvestre and 4th and 5th choice respectively at centreback brought in as short term cover. To dismiss the majority of squad as not up to it is just wrong.

We played really badly as team today in the second half, that doesn't make everyone shit.

Surely even Steve007 would look at this post and think "Hey it's not that bad". Fucking hell.
