Watford, westbrom, but to be honest i do nt blame
losses on officials we get 90 mins to
win games bit i think across the league its been poorer this year more than previous esp.linesman decisions i end
up watching more than just the arsenal games but arsenal is where my heart
and loyalty lies
and its been week in
and week across the league this year on officials i understand close offsides
and fouls here
and there cause football has a tremendous gray area in terms of constant action but linesman have missed multiple offsides by 5 yards
and more
and the consistency hasnt been there one week a call is this way next week the call is the other way but i am going to stop going on about officials as of now as you said
and i agree its down human error an apart of the game
anything but a
win will make 4th place an increasingly distant goal... to be honest we should be able to beat this lot woy has tightened them
up but hardly turned them in to big hitters but i do nt think wenger can motivate the team anymore so its all about whether players show
up on the night... wilshere needs to get on the ball more partnered with elneny who is probably the most reliable of a hapless riumvirate, kosalinac
and debuchy given roles in a back 4... if sanchez wants to showcase his skills i can see a 2 1 victory... otherwise could be looking at another embarassing
loss... pathetic that we have fallen to this level of speculation

losses nonetheless.
I had no problems with the team selection, keeping sanchez ozil cazorla kos
and gabriel meant the spine of the team was there, what I had problems with was the ability of players to step
up their game, arteta, giroud, debuchy should have been much much better, they were flat
and uninterested, this was a pointless
and easily avoidable
loss and if we snatched that first goal we would have
won.
Pessimistically speaking, We just can't beat the others in the long run, they have more committed
and success driven players
and coaches (unlike wenger) Optimistically speaking, If arsenal can keep
up a good performance till January, let's say we beat all the small teams
and and draw against other big teams (plus one or two
wins or
losses), come January if cazorla comes back (
and stays injury free)
and wenger gets a winger then we could actually have a chance

Well your righ with met spend but in amount paid out for players no net were 5th but i agree our champions league performances have been poor we had some tough draws
and the premier league is more demanding then the other leagues in strwnght of competition
and games played still excuses do nt
win but that monaco
loss left me shaking my head in cl we get theough the group but cant muster the strength needed for knockout
and we should be performing better were under performing for the talent xhaka has frustrated me hes got the talent
and plays well but cant hold focus in games he drops off
and loses his marks our academy is doing well but yes it is tougher now to break in to the first team iwobi has done well but one or two seasons away from being there if he does turn himself elite ever has to score or he will just be another ox but i think its been a wake
up call to the club we finally have to act theres a wave of ideas to not only get us back to
winning ways but become title contenders
and i think give him the extension one year its a world cup year
and that will also allow our players esp strikers who been very poor this year realized its tough to play in englad
and next year will have a better idea what it really takes to
win here shore
up some spots
and depth
and were in contention fail
and the changes will happen but let him have one more year the fact were willing to spend shows me an upturn from the decline
I hope we keep wenger give the man a long term contract you must want some unloyal cheapskate whos been fired at 5 clubs
and successful at 1 or 2 for a few years when the club spent big cause they got a new manager
and after a couple years got fired beacause those spendy players got old
and that manager did nothing we have the most loyal consistent
winning manager in europe
and if the linesman did nt make incorrect call we woould of been 1 - 0
up and mkhitaryan played poor balls in the rain which we always play bad in amd are you suffering short term memory
loss we beat tottenham 2 - 0 at home so we still
won the derby on aggregate this season again thanks to mr.wenger i mean where to people come out woth these low iq thoughts
and mostly you have to fire three new managers before you get a couple good seasons then start the circus again people should be embarrassed wenger to stay
