We've all been terribly remiss in not identifying a scapegoat for yesterday

[Classic Jorge]

Giroud's had a couple of quiet games since he was dropped for the Bayern match, Ramsey is already a firm favourite in the effigy burning stakes, Mertesacker's German and Szczny has essentially become a gaseous cloud.

[Brentwood]

[7evens]

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

Eye opener for him, specially when I had to drag him away from a hefty gang of Gooners all waiting to give the Spurs fans some stick. He did not even know they were there, totally oblivious :hehe:

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

Oh, and use his left foot.

[7evens]

He wasn't the only one guilty of crossing a ball to - No one in particular, either.

[Bergkamp's Brain]

and Walcott is a money grabber

[Luis Anaconda]

never really much to aim for though :-(

[IUFG]

I blame him for everything.

deviant, belgian c**t.

[The Tony]

Mel love.....you're not going to believe what these idiots are going to pay me...HAPPY DAYS :cloud9:

[7evens]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

He's normally the go to guy for these things.

Perhaps Walcott now that the useless ******** has stopped scoring.

Then of course Vermaelen who is just not very good.

[Classic Jorge]

Though most teenage boys are so full of passion their sheets are like Painter's Overalls anyway

[Monty91]

and solid in possession, too.

[Classic Jorge]

[Monty91]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I thought he did okay, no worse in midfield than others yet incredibly singled out by player scores in the only paper I have seen reference to this day.

[PSRB]

I wish Jack would shoot

Thought we played really well until the suicidal defending and had a good spell after we scored but didn't really do much to threaten the goal

[East Upper for Supper]

[Classic Jorge]

[PSRB]

was one the singlely ****test pieces of defending I've seen, even by our high standards.

[pjlincs]

[Bergkamp's Brain]

We actually defended Bale quite well, apart from that one moment.

[PSRB]

[7evens]

[The Tony]

Even Chelsea away when they dominated us in the first half. That could've been a lot different if Giroud had put his early chance away.

at least give us something to work with...these 2 goal come backs are a joke.

[Classic Jorge]

Sadly, like Gervinho, you're consistently ****.

[PSRB]

[Classic Jorge]

[The Tony]

Game is going to pieces now.

we gotta be careful with him. A little work in the gym is all he needs. Now he's going to end up a shivering wreck with no confidence like Richard Wright....basically a Rob Green.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

[Redflag]

with your unswerving slavish arselicking support for Wenger and his losing mentality policies.

[Bergkamp's Brain]

Adebayor was awful, as well, yet they scored 2 goals.

In that first 35 minutes, we defended quite well, and had 3 or 4 opportunities down the right, but the final ball was pants.

Having said all that we should have made it 2-2 when Jenkinson broke down the right and we had 2 players ahead of their back 4, a 3 v none situation, sort of. It looked like Ramsey tried to dummy the cross to Giroud, but the keeper did do quite well.

[Classic Jorge]

Admittedly I do have an overinflated sense of my own importance, not to the extent I can influence my football team's results though.

Now, which of these f**kers is for the Wicker Man?

[Bergkamp's Brain]

[Arsenal-Life]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Thing is a few mates disagreed, quite strongly one of them.

With Jack i think he is automatically on 6/10 before the game even starts.

[Monty91]

of everything good we did (of which there was a lot).

Like Dennis, he starts on a 6/10 for good reason. Because he never plays worse than that, by virtue of his inherent brilliance.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

One gets 4/10 the other gets 6/10.

My point wasn't a criticism of JW just that he gets a degree of leeway that others don't.

[PSRB]

when you watch our defence do things like that again and again

[Redflag]

ions of the problem.

[Alexism - Atheoist]

Poor Nacho we hardly knew ye. :cry:

[Alexism - Atheoist]

rather than passing it back or sideways. That's progress.

And he can cross a mean ball - but as Neville said, he needs to wait just a bit more to allow teammates to run into the box before doing so.

I like the look of him - once he can consistently beat a defender towards the goal he'll be much improved.
