COYG!

Atletico Islington

Can see Kallstrom bagging a hat-trick today.

Jonnycakes82

Wenger you old sly dog, come on Mozart!

Az Ahmed

LOL – 6-0 and it’s not over.

I am not a doom merchant, but after this abysmal show, and bottling it against the bigger teams all this season, there is definitely a problem with the mentality. I think Wenger’s contract should not be extended and in the meantime they should look to bring in Klopp or someone of similar stature.

AFCEdwards

Typical Maureen playing either three CBs or two DMs depending on how you see David Luiz. Scared of Arsenal.

Jesper

I think it’s because Ramires is suspended rather.

No, wait, it’s Maureen. Who am I fooling.

GunnerdareMACEDONIA

If ramires was not suspended he would place instead of oscar not luiz much more defensive.

heroldgoon

Not scared but KNOWS HOW TO BEAT ARSENAL AND HAS WENGERS NUMBER!

Dudelmann

Let’s hope we put in the performance of a lifetime and smash them… Kallstrom to score?

forfuckssake

I wonder how many chelski fans think the Crimea is a confession?

john

Did i miss something last week, because i thought the experiment of playing The Ox and Cazorla in central midfield was a failure.

I think you can get away with conceeding 60% of the ball against a crap Spurs side but this Chelsea team will punish us.

goonero

Yes because it happened once that is exactly how it’s going to happen again…

john

It happened against Bayern as well

john

I’m interested to hear what positives people saw?

What i saw is two players failing to perform the primary functions of the position. Yes Ox made a few great runs but not from central midfield but from more advanced positions. Watch his runs again and you will see on all occasions he is our most advanced player.

john

I’m getting thumbs down’s but no arguement as to why people thought it worked

Gunner Paddy

Did you not see his defensive game? Or do you just lap up counter attack after counter attack? He fits perfectly in there, just remember his age! Remember Denilson? 4 of him equals one Chambo! Also, playing to the strength of Ox, he’s a roaming player! He’s utilised on the wing and the centre of the park! Sanogo played CF against Bayern, I think I saw him more on the RW than the centre of the pitch. So there’s one argument for you. Who better to fill the role in this position? Someone that can create an attack out of… Read more »

john

His defensive game?! Are you serious, we had our lowest possession stats for years. Our attacking game seriously suffered because we didn’t have the ball. We don’t press high enough up the pitch.

1-0 Chelsea as we speak, lets see how well they’ll do for the rest of the match.

A goal conceeded because we gave the ball away easily

john

2-0 because our midfield can’t defend, it’s taken 7 minutes to prove me right!!

john

The Ox is having such a wonderful game!!

For me this was all obvious, why can no one else see this coming?

kosballs

Terry (cunt)

goonero

Please just put those cunts back in their place!

heroldgoon

unleash the Kallstrom

Goonerrob86

I think we actually have a better bench.

Jonnycakes82

I don’t care about any of your “opinions” Michael Owens is all I want to know!

Jesper

The (c) after Terry kills two birds with one stone – Cunt, Captain.

Henry! Chance! Goal!!

Terry (c). Very clever, blogs.

Possession

They are set up to stop us playing. We are set up to out score them.

THE RUN FOR GLORY BEGINS

COME ON YOU GUNNERS

monkey knees

I wish John Terry was my friend.

gooner

he would shag your wife

baba ijebu

let us gun the sulky chavs down on their tuff

Henry! Chance! Goal!!

Playing Matic and David Luiz in the midfield at home? Maureen is parking the bus again

Lu

I really really hope we can put these c*nts back in their places, I really do. I hate Chelsea with a burning passion, God I hate these c*nts so much.
The pessimist in me is telling me: we haven’t scored a single goal against Chelsea & United in 4 games this season, and they’re undefeated at the Bridge, it’s not possible.
Please prove me wrong Arsenal, Please destroy these c*nts.

Bergkamp's bronze statue

Does the (c) next to John Terry stand for cunt?

Henry! Chance! Goal!!

Monkey Knees, you do know that being John Terry’s friend means he gets to sleep with your wife/girlfriend/fiancé? What a friend he is

gooner

scary! just seen Rosicky do his warm up alongside the physio, hope he’s alright

Nigerian Gooner

Chelsea are not unbeatable as teams like Westham and Westbrom have proved. We can come out of the bridge with 3 points in the bag. But a draw won’t be bad either. COYG!

Neil #2

Excellent lineup. What’s the latest on Ramsey then?

Tsardom

Today would be the perfect time to give Wenger the gift he deserves for his 1000th game. Beating that daft prick Maureen on his own turf. Come on Gunners DO IT FOR AW and all the fans. Nothing would be sweeter.

goonero

Is this happening again?

Neil

Do we ever learn. Playing the high line is a disaster for us. Flamster now for Tommy R (done nothing wrong but we need to calm this the fuck down.)

Richie

Off to the FA cup we go. Till next season.

goonero

Why the fuck do we turn into quivering little itches in games like this? It’s so fucking pathetic.

Henry! Chance! Goal!!

What is going on? This is crazy. We are about to go a man down and 3 goals down?

Fabulous

2-0 inside 7 mins. Could be another trashing, or us coming back. Seeing how we fared this season I’m not holding out for the latter. Fuck this that’s the title gone. Better not screw up the FA Cup.

goonero

Game over after 15 mins! This is incredulous.

Henry! Chance! Goal!!

The Capitulation is complete and it’s only 17 minutes into the game.

Fabulous

3-0 and a man down, fuck this shit! Against those bunch of cunts as well. Great Arsene maybe Moaninho has a point after all

d

Pathetic display.

12.45 KO is not a good time for us to play. 6-3. 5-1. Now 3-0 and counting. Fucking over it.

Stephen

I don’t understand. Not even a little. Forget missed chances. How does an otherwise solid defense completely flame out in big games – city, liverpool, today. How?!?! Surely someone has a theory for this? It makes no sense.

john

Because we don’t play with any defensive midfield players, playing Ox, Wilshere, Cazorla as deep lying midfeilders will lead to a trashing from top quality sides

ron1niro

Wenger doesn’t like to suit his game to his opponents. Maureen started with 2 DM’s and decided to counter attack. It worked very well for Liverpool too. You can’t play Chelsea and Bayern with Arteta as your most defensive player and expect to win, it is very impossible.

ron1niro

Well, that’s it for the season then! The battle for 4th starts now!

Henry! Chance! Goal!!

It is very disturbing that we keep making the same mistakes. We’ve learned nothing from the losses to City and Liverpool.

meletios

Giroud is just not good enough to be a regular striker for us, his chance was the turning point.
Its water under the bridge now, 4th place if we dont f*** up any more.
A giant

ron1niro

Fuck this shit. How much more stupid can people get? Us being hammered like this is all down to just one half chance in the game?

Stephen

How are 3 goals his fault?

Yankee Gooner

Giroud didn’t let in two or handle the ball in the box, but if he’d made the most of a good opportunity (like most other CFs would on the top teams), we’d definitely be watching a different match right now.

Merlin's Panini

fuck early kick offs and fuck Chelsea.

meletios

@stephen if you cant figure it out then…..hmmmm

Hank Scorpio

This is naive shite of the highest order. I cannot understand why we insist on this gung ho stupidity that leaves so open. We don’t do it in the champions league. Why in the league? And why against Chelsea when Mourinhos sides are renowned for soaking up pressure & hitting sides on the counter but who have struggled to break shite sides down when the onus is on them to score. Does Arsene pay absolutely no attention to other teams?

john

You would have thought after 1000 games in charge he would have learnt his lesson!

deano

Man this is depressing big game syndrome strikes again. I’m going to get drunk.

meletios

Bring on Kim

Yankee Gooner

Exactly. Take off Cazorla and Rosicky; no need to tire them out or pick up a knock.

jd

Arrgh, why didn’t Flamini start. The exact game where you need a midfield general. This is shiiiiit.

Who dropped Morrow

It’s a total shambles AGAIN! Where the fuck is Flamini? I don’t understand why we rely on Arteta to be a DM when he is not strong, can’t tackle and doesn’t have the legs to get up and down all game. 4-0. You’ve embarrassed yourself Arsene. 1000 games and you can’t motivate a team for such a big game. Against this bunch aswell. Totally unacceptable.

Stephen

I think. For the first time in years. I’m turning off the Arsenal game. The past defeats were bad, but after the buildup to this game it’s too much.

Yankee Gooner

Stephen, I just pressed record on the DVR after the PK–I’ll watch the rest tonight when I’m hammered.

GreekTragedy

Am I allowed to just not watch the second half? This is one of the worst performances tactically and individually I’ve seen in Wenger’s 1000 games. Utterly pathetic.

Andy Mack

I can’t watch the game.
I think gibbs has been sent off. Why?

Goonerestgooner

I hope Liverpool win the league now.
They’re the best of a bad bunch.

Irish gooner

Thumbs up if your embarrassed and sick of this sh*t every time we play the bigger teams, i know i am
