That ref is a shit cunt. He had better hope Liverpool score again or he is finished in the Prem.

Done with football.

It's time for Wenger to go tbh. You wanted a marquee signing/big money to be spent, you got that, but it's the same old story.

Wenger is a legend but he did all he could do for Arsenal about five years ago.

Everyone and their nan knows Arsenal can't hack it against teams who like a battle. Wenger plodding along doing the same shit.

If any club needs a new manager, it's Arsenal. Get Klopp in and give him a nice war chest.

[Goofle]

It's hard for me to blame Wenger because we are literally playing without our four most important and arguably our four best players. No team could do much better than what we are if that happened to them.

[Cuthbert]

Consistent hammerings away from home against clubs competing for the same spots though. You are going to get injuries in a season, we have Benteke, Delph, Gabby, Kozak and Okore all out now, no excuse for yesterday though (I want Lambert gone btw)

Wenger had his chance to buy again in January I swear Arsenal fans were screaming for another striker and he didn't buy one.

I think he's taken Arsenal as far as they can go. Spent £42m on a position that didn't need strengthening, it looked like it could have been Arsenal's Cantona moment but no. It's just bizarre tbh he is closing in on a decade with no trophies, people blinded by his contributions in the 90's & early 00's. Modern day Wenger isn't a patch on the Wenger of the past.

[Goofle]

We absolutely did need to sign Ozil. Look how poor we are without him. We needed a striker more, but we still needed that creative midfield player.

And even if we did sign a striker in January (and there's absolutely no way we would be able to bring in a Costa/Balotelli in January, so it would have been a Klose/Ba) then we would still be without Ozil, Ramsey, Walcott and Koscielny. Hard to deal with that.

[Cuthbert]

Alright fair enough, it was necessary, but there were other priorities that probably should have been addressed before that.

You don't lose 6-0, 5-1, 3-0, 6-3 without being a bunch of tarts. Injuries are no excuse for those sort of results imo. And no excuse for the past 9 years either cos like Scholes said it's the same shit every single year with Arsenal.

there's absolutely no way we would be able to bring in a Costa/Balotelli in January, so it would have been a Klose/Ba

I think you could have got an improvement on Giroud tbh.

[Goofle]

Both of those are improvements and I am absolutely not giving Wenger a pass on that.

[Cuthbert]

His time is up is all I'm saying, he's not addressing these issues.
He's a defeated man and is passing this on to the players.

If he wins the FA Cup I think he will go. If he loses the FA Cup I think he will go.

[Goofle]

Chelsea didn't sign the striker they wanted in the summer or January, so what makes you think we could just go and sign that player either? It's hard for those players to become available.
