Even with their atrocious wingers, the pool boys seemed to have a firmer hold over the game than the floundering Arsenal midfield and inevitably

goal that
was (wonderfully) celebrated for fully a minute and a half; Jaap Stam and Tony Adams; a (deserved) red card that involved the referee actively pursuing Keane, the better to take (onanistic) pleasure in the act of dismissal; extra-time; Arsenal pressure; a (hopelessly abject) foul from Phil Neville to
concede a penalty; a surprisingly tepid missed penalty from Dennis Bergkamp; Peter Schmeichel saving; Peter Schmeichel barking; an unusually sleepy pass from Vieira; and then, that run, that finish, that
goal, that winner, that completely stupid slalom through a stupified defence.

Beat a top team and we
are lucky, beat a lower team and we should
be beating them anyway, lose when playing a too risky brand of football and we

by 3
goals and it should have
been 5, keep playing the same predictable way every game and we should vary it more, vary our pattern of play and we should go back to doing what we used to, win 2 - 0 and keep a clean sheet and we should have
been more adventurous to improve
goal difference, win 2 - 1 and
concede in the last minute and we
were naive not to shut up shop, win 12 out of the last 15 games and it should have
been 15 wins......... blah, blah.

goal, even with the way ospina
conceded d
goal was enough reason why cech would av
been better any day anytime and still wenger chose ospina at the most important match, and because Ramsey equalised after we
conceded under pressure when we
were one man up, look at d replays, only Ramsey
was not a pussy, d rest
were scared of not
conceding more
by staying close to our
goal, Ramsey ran forward and
was d only player apart from Sanchez and ground looking for d winner.
pretty please, its true stats don't lie but it could

is Ozil created over 190 chances and ONLY 19
was put away
by our misfiring duo of Giroud and Walcott, and the fact he had half of the season to match and eclipse the assist record and failed says more about Giroud
's and Walcott woeful woeful finishing abilities and nought whatsoever to do with Ozil,
am can only do so much, what
's next, blame him for number of
goals we
conceded?

you wont see a cazorla or a xavi losing possession, not only that but they drive the team forward.but unfortunately u hav players like ramsey, who do nt drive the attack like the above two, also he loses possessions sometimes
by attempting fancy moves.its sad ramsey gives more importance to style over substance.unfortunately, i feel players like ramsey hav contributed to arsenal's inability... imagine a team like barcelona playing with him, constantly losing posession leading to
conceding goals and so on.difference
is barca's manager wud take them out, while under wenger u
r rewarded with the nxt game!!!! i do nt deny he
was top notch a season or two back, but now hes a liability imo and need to change his mentality.even that opportunity he got against tottenham where thought longer before taking a shot thus giving defender time to get to him and take off the ball.i bet if it
was cazorla, arsenal wud hav scored...

After we gave Chelski a good spanking last season in probably Conte's fifth or sixth game in charge he immediately
re organised them and went through till the new year unbeaten.He had them very solid at the back and scoring
goals for fun.And all this with a squad of players he inherited and their top striker Costa wanting Away.They ended up romping to the Premiere League Title scoring loads more
goals and
conceding far less than Wengers Arsenal.We
by the way
are treading water at best this season and would not bet on us finishing above Chelski even allowing for the season they
are having.
The season before last 14 15 we did better with the points than last season even though we came second from last season we know we
conceded many
goals from set pieces and
were very short on
goal scoring the logic of this season
was to fix the defensive department and the offensive department
by introducing a defender to reduce the amount of
goals conceded unless holding
is to
be the man we havent us of yet fixed the problem on the offensive department we all know the only offensive player
is chuba apkom well else we have not addressed the problem so in reality I do not except Arsenal to finish the season with more than 70 points and personally think minimum point required to win the premier league
is 85 points have we got that in our squad it will remain to
be seen if chuba and holding
are enough for a key to unlock the season we will soon find out but I think MR wenger
is gambling with the introduction of new manageress which lives us with Liverpool and Leicester and who will take the points off united chelsea and city the next 6 games should give us the indication to what may happen to the long run for the new year
We have a special group of players that
are doing special things on the pitch, but the media wont tell u that we have lost just one away match this year, and have the best defense in the league, infact i heard a documentary that says «Liverpool have the best defence in the league
conceding only 9
goals only equalled
by Arsenal» such reporting
is typical in putting pressure on Arsenal.
