But, what about all those chances he missed that would’ve had us in third weeks ago? I’m afraid there is no escaping this one. He’ll always be the guy who missed ‘that penalty’ at Spurs.

Well it didn't but don't let that get in the way of you warped thinking.

IF he'd scored that you have no ideas what would have heppended in every game after that...who is to say SPurs wouldn't have won yesterday if they had to?

I don't suppose he missed on purpose, though.

[Burney]

:shrug: He's supposed to score goals. That is literally his job. It's like saying 'OK, this surgeon killed you by professional negligence, but think about all the other people he hasn't killed!' It's not relevant.

I'd say there's a difference between professional negligence and missing a penalty, but there you go.

[Burney]

No. But then I don't suppose the Captain of The Titanic meant to smash it into a fúcking great iceberg. This was little consolation for the poor ****s who drowned in the icy waters of the North Atlantic, though.

I must say I'm suprised, and not a little disappointed, at the glee with which you have embraced the blame culture so eagerly propagated by the cultural Marxists.

Let us never undertake any enterprise, lest we make a mistake and lose a few passengers or miss a penalty.

Your brave new world seems to me a joyless, dispiriting place.

Or our defence failing to focus after scoring (twice) at Old Trafford or conceding two pelanties against Palace.

If, buts and maybes innit

[Burney]

I'd say there's a difference between professional negligence and missing a penalty, but there you go.

I'd say there isn't really. A penalty is given because it is literally giving the attacking side the easiest possible means of scoring a goal. Given which, for a highly-paid professional whose main purpose is scoring goals to miss such an opportunity is very much professional negligence.

I'm not saying don't undertake the enterprise, I'm just saying don't fúck it up.

That's ridiculous! It's his first season, and he's gotten the Golden Boot. Why not blame the goal conceded by Kolasinac in the Utd game? Eh?

You appear to have failed to factor in the highly-paid professional goalkeeper trying to stop the goal being scored here, b.

Missing the target, that is professional negligence. Maybe.

[Just Trent]

:shrug: He's supposed to score goals. That is literally his job. It's like saying 'OK, this surgeon killed you by professional negligence, but think about all the other people he hasn't killed!' It's not relevant.

He did a good job but, not a great one. All season commentators kept saying ‘Aubameyang, oh he doesn’t miss many of those’. What player were they watching? The guy misses 3-4 sitters in every game.

[Sir C]

Dear God. You even included the 'highly-paid' bit. Is this an audition for AFTV?

The universe doesn't really work like that though. Who knows what would have happened after that game?

The whole team and manager have been collectively at fault for the end of season collapse imo which has seen the St Totts drought extend into a third year.

And Bergkamp missed a big pelanty with dramatic consequences.

[IUFG]

Utter, utter bóllocks, jt

[Sir C]

It most definitely is not. It may be a grave error, but professional negligence it most certainly isn't.

For a footballer to be guilty of professional negligence, he would need to fail to turn up on time for kick off. Once he is on the pitch he is performing tasks which, by their very nature, are prone to failure. If they were not, every game would finish 0-0.

[Just Trent]

That's ridiculous! It's his first season, and he's gotten the Golden Boot. Why not blame the goal conceded by Kolasinac in the Utd game? Eh?


Nonsense. Anything below 25 league goals shouldn’t even count as a golden boot season.

What about that useless **** Bergkamp? His pitiful failure at Villa Park effectively gifted sir ****ex his treble. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory not only cost us the FA Cup but affected our title challenge which, to this day, I believe we would have won had we prevailed at Villa park.

The ghastly horror of the Nous Camp fluke would never had transpired had Bergkamp had the bottle to just lash the ****ing thing in. Gutless wánker. And don't even get me started on the peanut headed choker. Wenger out.

[IUFG]

It most definitely is not. It may be a grave error, but professional negligence it most certainly isn't.

Yes, and I will never forgive Bergkamp for doing so. I can't look at him without thinking of that.

I accept that there is collective responsibility, but some individuals bear more blame than others. Emery and Agadoo-doo-doo are the chief culprits. :nod:

I see that a Welsh chap has parked his aircraft on the A40.

Yesterday he was a missed sitter away from claiming that Golden Boot outright
Still pleased for him though
Despite that missed pelanty v Spurs in the last minute

Poor old Captain Smith. Everyone remembers the iceberg bit but no one ever mentions the four perfectly safe days sailing prior to that.

Of course, it is easy to say this incident or that game or that refereeing decision caused it. Brighton and Palace at home in the last 2 games or the Auba pelanty miss against Spurs. Other teams can point to incidents of why they did or did not make this, that or the other.

The reality is that the two areas of the team that have not improved are the key causes of us not making the top 4. The away form and the goals conceded, aka the defending. These are the two areas where Emery has not made any improvements at all.

These are the areas you/we/Emery should be focusing on.

[Alberto Balsam Rodriguez]

Very, very harsh indeed

On Victor Meldrew.

[Alberto Balsam Rodriguez]

Yes, and I will never forgive Bergkamp for doing so. I can't look at him without thinking of that.

That would be like saying that Chelsea made it because of two dreadfully bad pieces of refereeing in their favour, at Cardiff :shrug:

Who knows what would have happened if Ramsey has not got injured :-)

[eastgermanautos]

Nonsense. Anything below 25 league goals shouldn’t even count as a golden boot season.

It's his FIRST season with us.

[eastgermanautos]

Poor old Captain Smith. Everyone remembers the iceberg bit but no one ever mentions the four perfectly safe days sailing prior to that.

It would be like if the Titanic captain stopped in Iceland and scored some crystal meth. *Then we'd be praising him as do Aubameyang
