Arsenal always have this week. Out of all competitions in one fell swoop; get your money on Bayern.

Great result for Blackburn. Great result for Preston, too. Looking forward to Dortmund.

It's disturbing how much of an occurrence it is, as well. Every. Fucking. February.

Arsenal should beat Bayern easily. Unlike bradford and blackburn, bayern won't stick 10 players behind the ball. Instead it'll be Arsenal defending for their lives then hitting Bayern on the counterattack.

Betting $300 on Podolski to score a hattrick

I know people will anyway but I don't think you can really blame Wenger there, that side should be beating Blackburn any day of the week. Shocking attacking play really all round, none of the players seemed to have any idea on how to break down the defence.

And another opportunity for a trophy goes begging first Bradford now this and we're probably going out to Bayern as well.

3 - Arsenal have lost their last three cup ties when Mike Dean has been the ref & have won one of the last 17 PL games under him. Curse.

As awful as Mike Dean is we only have ourselves to blame here.

It used to be joy watching Arsenal. You could say, that they were the best team to watch regardless of the lack of trophies. They don't even look that attractive now...

Spineless squad is linked to Wenger, but it certainly isn't his fault directly, not enough to be saying 'Wenger out'.

Thing is, when we put in such a performance Rodgers can say that we need to strengthen, we need leaders, our youngsters let us down. Wenger doesn't really have that privilege, this is his squad that he's constructed over many, many years. If there's a lack of mental fortitude embedded in this group of players then there's an argument to be made that it's down to him to avoid and fix that.

He needs to acknowledge it first.

He is the problem.

He is Arsenal's greatest strength and weakness.

How did he even contemplate fielding a weakened team? How did he sell Van Persie to United? How has he gone 8 years without a trophy and still refused to spend money when it is available?

Winning isn't his priority.

I don't know what is...but it definitely isn't winning.

To be fair, they would have gotten a penalty if Walcott wasn't incorrectly called offside.
