(The not-so-temporary quite-official) Gooner Thread (Part 2)

Pretty much sums it up

Clear penalty just to rub salt in the wound

Why the F*ck is Gabriel kicking it out FFS

lol @ theo cutting back in

nearly our best 11 can't beat swansea 2nd 11.....Wenger dropping the ball tatically with subs again.....i'm a huge wenger fan

city spurs and leicester dropped point and we find a way to fluff it up

Ozil must be over it by now surely

FARKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

The performance was our best in a long time in reality, couldn't fault the hunger, but my oh my what a clusterf*ck in front of goal, Giroud the chief culprit, as well as some absolutely rotten luck. The Campbell sub was an error from Wenger imo, the Sanchez one not so much, he does look off his game. Don't know how Giroud stayed on the pitch though. Would've had him off for Welbeck. 

A clear foul for their first, a Cech mistake for their second, you wouldn't read about it. 

If we don't win this weekend I think I'll take a breather from football for a few months. 

And I think I've finally come round to the argument that we need a world class striker. Had we had an Aguero or some such we would've put them to the sword. We need to push the boat out at the end of this season and pay whatever it takes for someone HUGE. Lewandoski would be my preference but probably not for sale at any price. Someone of that ilk though. 

Cech also was clutching his hamstring at FT when he came up for the corner. Expect to see Ospina v Spurs. Jesus.

are you f*cking serious

Amazingly we're not out of it since everyone else seems to be trying to throw it away as well.

Whomever throws a few wins together in the next few weeks will take this title. For us, that means this weekend is it. Fail to win, and we're done. Felt that way for the last two games but somehow we're still hanging there.

With these last two results, I think it's pretty realistic to say that Wenger's job may hinge on the next game, for the first time ever in his Arsenal career probably. 

Does anyone seriously think that we can still win the title after failing to beat Swansea at home when we still have to go away to Everton, West Ham, Spurs and City?
I for one don't. Totally pissed off. I don't even fancy our chances of beating Hull next week. So angry right now

I'm always the optimist given Spurs, Leicester and Man City seem to equally want to throw it away. 

Whomever pulls out of their funk will win. 

Can we? The performance and hunger was another level this morning compared to the ManU and Hull matches, but how much will that result damage us mentally... we'll find out at White Hart Lane. 

Nope. No way. This was the 'easy' game out of our run in. I'd be suprised if we stay top 4 now.

Confidence in the squad has to be completely shattered

Joke.

Where to go with this. An utter disgrace this morning.

Cech is out for this weekend having done his hamstring running back from a late corner. Sanchez is our most out of form player right now. Campbell's finish was top drawer and should have stayed on.

Ten games to go and we are 6 point off Leicester who are top, we should be all over this.

However, we don't win the league, we probably finish fourth. Ramsey or Theo puts a photo of us celebrating 4th up on twitter like we have won something. Wenger proclaims our consistency. Ticket prices go up again. Wenger gets an extension to his contract. Kroenke takes a cut for consultancy fees. And then the season starts again.

Can they just give Leicester the league and be done with this.

Couldn't agree more.

I'm not even confident about us finishing 4th.

What the fudge has happened to us?

Failed to kick the ball in the goal enough

Failed to stop the ball going in goal as well

The way I'm feeling at the moment, I'm just glad we have 40 points :)

If we lose this weekend it'll be one of our worst runs in a long time. 

If we win this weekend we'll be equal with points with Sp*rs, with 9 to play and a 6 point gap to overcome.

The worst thing about this football thing is that the opportunity for joy is equal to the opportunity for heart break, and we've had to ride this every 3-4 days lately. 

Hopefully we finally get something to cheer about.

Cech out with a hammy injury after he was sprinting back from going up for a corner. You couldn't make this shark up.

Kos is out too.

Ospina/Mert/Gabriel against Spurs. Can't wait.

Ospina will be a disaster. Cech was the only one keeping that rabble together.

Is it coincidence we're losing games & leaking goals when Gabriel plays?

Sums it up nicely. 

Tough on the old ticker right now. 

I don't think so... he may have been at fault once or twice but prior to this period didn't he have a really good record for his first lot of games? From memory didn't it take quite a few before we conceded with him on the pitch?

He reminds me a lot of Koscielny when he first came. As his english improves and he matures, he should develop into a similarly excellent player. Would be great if we can develop Chambers into the new Mertesacker within the next couple of years too. 

I had a acl reconstruction done this afternoon...the.loss felt more painful thou. 

We were on the same amount of points at this stage last season, so have we really.improved?

Only buying cech and eleny in the last 2 windows is showing now

Crikey

Best of luck with rehab

Best of luck as well Mrs AJC

Cheers foal

On a postive note Santi has tweeted he's on track to return and paper reports are false 

Yus, thought they were overreactions given Wengers statements.

Part of me wonders if we're going to see an explosive result on the weekend, this is the first time we've lost 3 EPL games on the trot since 2010. 

We haven't lost 3 EPL games on the trot... 

No,  I think he's been generally poor.

Reading this has got me freaking out about tomorrow

Everyone expected us to win v Man U and Swansea - didn't go well. No one expects us to win against Spurs now - will go well ???

I'm clutching at straws.

Choke on this Cocks

Apologies - forgot that while we play Barca twice a season home & away they aren't actually in the EPL ;-)
