LOL these refs.

Serie A

Zlatan won Serie A.

 

[wedward]

Khedira

Id take khedira in a heartbeat. Not for 50, but at least he can defend.

 

[faridmon]

I'm out.

Hope Liverpool win the league.

Come on!

I am out as well!

I can't handle this!

 

[Lambda Pie]

soft, moist Arsenal dropping from watching the match? well i never...

 

[avaya]

So it's getting to the end of the season and things are just the same. Shame I was right.

New manager, team on drugs like everyone else. Only way. Man Utd are off the drugs and look what happens.

 

[Mr.Marston]

lolol 4-0

happy 1000th game Wenger

Pls fuck off this summer

Thanks.

 

[Jarnet87]

Khedira

Careful, United's already tried to vastly overpay for this turd.

 

[jtb]

Khedira is shit, do not want

even if we get him, Wenger will just drop him for every big game to play a winger in his place

 

[Salvadora]

I'm out.

Hope Liverpool win the league.

No thanks.

 

[L1NETT]

England are playing In the world t20 right now arsenal fans.

Take your top of the league cigarettes with you.

 

[faridmon]

I think Arsenal need Martinez-like manager who is happy to progress.

don't take Martinez pls

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Khedira is shit, do not want

even if we get him, Wenger will just drop him for every big game to play a winger in his place

Wenger will not be manager next season.

 

[Suen]

Khedira

Khedira is going with Benz and Arbeloa to Liverpool.

#ProjectSuarez

 

[Portugeezer]

Mixing up the non-white players.

Why am I not surprised?

 

[Plasma]

Kallstrom to come on and grab five in the next half.

 

[Perfect Blue]

LOL this game

 

[faridmon]

I honestly don't like the bashing of Khadeira. He is a great player and would improve most of P teams.

 

[Hixx]

"Steve Bruce is like a god in Hull"

 

[Suen]

Kallstrom to come on and grab five in the next half.

Unlike Bendtner he's Swedish so it's possible.

 

[LanceVance]

lolol 4-0

happy 1000th game Wenger

Pls fuck off this summer

Thanks.

Yeeeeeesssssssss

It has come full circle

 

[jtb]

Wenger will not be manager next season.

the only way Wenger will not be manager next season is if he chooses not to come back. I can't see that happening

 

[LTWheels]

Arsenal doing there best to give the league away to Chelsea. Getting up their goal difference.

Gonna have to spank Cardiff today.

 

[dc89]

 

[jesalr]

Whelp. Shouldn't have even been a red, since the red gets given for denying a goal, not for a hand ball.

This game just gets more and more fun.

 

[Portugeezer]

lolol 4-0

happy 1000th game Wenger

Pls fuck off this summer

Thanks.

He still has a 1000th second half for his players to redeem him.

Whelp. Shouldn't have even been a red, since the red gets given for denying a goal, not for a hand ball.

This game just gets more and more fun.

I agree, but it was quite close and not easy to see clearly that it would have gone wide.

 

[Feorax]

There's an 11 point gap between Everton and Arsenal.

But Everton have 2 games in hand and a game at Goodison to come.

 

[Willkiller]

That old fella in the Barclays advert, if he was a Gooner he'd probably be dead by the end of this game.

 

[Suen]

It wouldn't happen even if you had Messi and Ronaldo up there together. Wenger would make sure it wouldn't happen.

:lol

 

[Jarnet87]

Whelp. Shouldn't have even been a red, since the red gets given for denying a goal, not for a hand ball.

This game just gets more and more fun.

Was a deliberate handball on what looked like a goal scoring chance. Didn't leave them a choice.

 

[ashecitism]

As expected.

Wenger will not be manager next season.

He's totally going to be and you know it. The board is ready to extend the contract with him.

 

[GorillaJu]

That old fella in the Barclays advert, if he was a Gooner he'd probably be dead by the end of this game.

Terrible :lol

 

[Ushojax]

There's an 11 point gap between Everton and Arsenal.

But Everton have 2 games in hand and a game at Goodison to come.

So what you're saying...is that Spurs are going to finish 4th?

Oh man, I'd love that. We won't catch them, but if Everton did....

There's also Arsenal against City.

 

[Clegg]

Does Wenger not have a plan b?

Seems like he set up to play the Arsenal Way and was 2-0 down after 8 minutes. Baffling for a manager who is rather good at his job.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

[Suen]

Spurs will finish fourth and Moyes Utd will win CL. I've seen a similar scenario before.

 

[Wilbur]

:looooooooooooooooooooooool

Yep, completely clueless club.

 

[Hixx]

Why can Londoners not pronounce the letters 'r' or 'l'?

Like "footbaw"

Or "Wighty"

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Whelp. Shouldn't have even been a red, since the red gets given for denying a goal, not for a hand ball.

This game just gets more and more fun.

The intend was there to deny a goal with his hand, he wouldn't have tried it when he knew it would go wide right. So red was expected.

 

[wedward]

It's really incredible how blind he is against the big teams. Especially Chelsea. Plays into Mourhino's hand everytime.

 

[GQman2121]

The pub is jumping. We want more.....

 

[The_Hitcher89]

So can Flamini tbf


Wenger is such a bizarre manager

He's the one thing propping you up in 4th, yet he's also the man most responsible for you failing to mount a proper title challenge since what, 2004?

His blind spots are ludicrous, especially for someone of his experience. Something I've really liked about Rodgers is his willingness to discard his idea of perfect football to lessen the impact that our weak spots have.

If we're failing to keep hold of the ball and have the lead, drop back, ride our luck, see it through. If the other team is pressing high, put Sturridge on the shoulder and loft the ball over their defense. If we play ourselves into trouble, twat one down the line and give the strikers something to chase. If Skrtel and Toure are the centrebacks, play the line deep as fuck, especially with Mig's reluctance to leave his line.

Then there's the nuances of his formations based on opposition, like turning the 4-3-3 into a 4-4-2 diamond, putting 5 at the back when we expect to be threatened from crosses.


Where is the compromise from Wenger? The sacrifices made for the greater good? The safe options to make 1-0 a probability, rather than a 3-0 and a 0-3 being equally likely? Why is he sticking so resolutely by his philosophy when he's spent the last 3 years filling the team with personnel who are more likely to flourish in a different system? Why does he drop the idea of a pure DM so easily, when it's become such an important role especially in these season-defining games?

Wenger is an enigma.

Spoiler

Now for Rodgers to fuck it up against Cardiff ala Aston Villa

 

[Wes]

Derby beating Forest 5-0 ho ho ho.

 

[Mr.Marston]

As expected.



He's totally going to be and you know it. The board is ready to extend the contract with him.

He already said he would go if he didn't win a trophy.

 

[Steverulez]

Whelp. Shouldn't have even been a red, since the red gets given for denying a goal, not for a hand ball.

This game just gets more and more fun.

He's made a deliberate attempt to cheat and stop the ball going in. Red card all day every day.

 

[faridmon]

There's an 11 point gap between Everton and Arsenal.

But Everton have 2 games in hand and a game at Goodison to come.

No, just no.

We will lose few games and Arsenal will beat us.

 

[Wilbur]

Derby beating Forest 5-0 ho ho ho.

Would love if they could overhaul Burnley. We're just going to have to resign ourselves to QPR winning the playoffs.

 

[wedward]

He already said he would go if he didn't win a trophy.

No he didn't.

He has already extended. It's just a matter of announcing it.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Why can Londoners not pronounce the letters 'r' or 'l'?

Like "footbaw"

Or "Wighty"

Fuck off with Scotland
