- Wenger can be so insane to do it.The man is out of this world and complety insane.He can not see what it is obvious for the entire world.To have better players on the bench and to keep favouring the same out - of - form or not good enough players week after week is madness.To play for draw from the beginning against an awful team which got beaten by the entire league on a daily bases - this is something unimaginable.It is not Mertesacker fault for being embarrased by any player on the planet, it is the manager fault for exposing him as a laughing point of focus.Wenger must go, the man is deluded, he is scarred to take any risk for success.Well, guess what - only showing courage and breaking the risk can bring you success.Not the case - I predict a chain of defeats following, with the cherry on top being a big defeat against Spurs - a team which, despite our hate, plays real football (with great results I must say).

After the sort of performance we saw from Arsenal yesterday as we beat the Britannia stadium jinx and gave the old foe Stoke City a good stuffing, especially as it was a true team effort, there are plenty of Gunners who could be considered for the Man of the Match award, with the likes of Francis Coquelin, Ozil and Bellerin shining, but once again I have to give it to that man Alexis Sanchez, especially after his goal celebration seemed to suggest he was staying at the Emirates.
