Use our rumours form to send us arsenal transfer rumours.
10 Feb 2018 21:28:32
This is unacceptable now. Again today we were poor. It's happens against any half decent team. Xhaka was terrible at least usually he tries to tackle. Today he seemed scared. It was all really poor. We created nothing. Wenger needs to go and I've never said that before.
10 Feb 2018 22:47:44
You need to go.
10 Feb 2018 23:05:18
Good reply jack. Did you enjoy the game today?
10 Feb 2018 18:31:01
Ive got to say, wenger has really done a job on laca. Maybe he is not mentally as tough as he should be or maybe he has had his confidence taken from him but we have ruined a very good striker. And we needed him for the EL, which is looking more and more a long shot. Probably not deserved in some peoples eyes but the two chances he got, he would have taken at the start of the season. Probably him and kolasinac, some of the worse managing of players, i have seen, as far as not using a players attributes and killing them.
10 Feb 2018 18:54:01
It begs the question did Arsene ever want Lacasette or was he a club signing?
The way he has hadled him reminds of Mourinho with Shevchenko who arrived a super signing by the club but left looking a shadow of the player he really was.
10 Feb 2018 19:47:49
He should be our main striker, with Auba left and Mhiki right.
Oh sorry, I forgot, Iwobi is an automatic first choice starter.
10 Feb 2018 20:06:52
Precisely chaps and on the flip side, xhaka, cech and iwobi get away with robbery.
10 Feb 2018 20:29:29
I think everyone is totally confused by Xhaka and Iwobi situation lads even Arsenes biggest supporters seem lost as to why he picks them.
I'm yet to read one post in support of either players inclusion yet this year, there were a few who still found some kind of justification for their playing at the tail end of 2017 but since then it seems Arsene makes up a fan club of 1 for both players.
10 Feb 2018 21:03:22
I see in the Sky ratings bellerin got one of the best marks for our boys. He was absolutely woefull out of possition time and again.
10 Feb 2018 21:09:37
I can put up with Xhaka, because at least he offers something.
He's not the DM we need, but he does have other things in his locker.
Iwobi, I just don't get.
Even if he's been out partying the night before a game (Forest) , he still gets picked.
He's useless.
10 Feb 2018 22:12:13
Belerin needs a new manager to turn his once seemingly fantastic future around, if he plays under Arsene next season he will continue to decline rather than kick on and build on what once looked certain a couple of seasons back.
He's not in the same bracket as Theo Jack Ramsey Ox as he has actually completed to full seasons of consistently high performances where he had Barcelona desperate for his services.
If Arsene is out manager next season Belerin needs to leave for his career to stand a chance.
10 Feb 2018 22:55:08
Whats all the iwobi slagging about, you know he didn't start the game? Last game he didn't put a foot wrong noone mentions that though, aubamayang on the left?!?! What you smoking pal? With the dynamism of nacho and his work rate? You lot are jokers, about as much tactical sense as wenger when he chucks on all the strikers at the end of a game were chasing.
11 Feb 2018 00:39:27
Do that's doubled the Iwobi fan club to 2 members Jack and Arsene, any more Iwobi fans out there?
11 Feb 2018 00:51:30
Jack, iwobi is an attacker, tell me how many goals does he get, no, how many shots does he have, how many chances does he make in a season. He runs down blind alleys, playing the game on his own. Where is the other side of his game, the covering and tackling. i'm sorry, we are talking arsenal here and arsenals failings, iwobi should be nowhere near this team he is not up to it, he should be on loan. He is now our plan b and plan b's are supposed to give you something extra, he gives us nothing. We are not saying this because its all hunky dory, we are saying this because of the lack of quality and the position we find ourselves in. I don't see another argument for him, he is not up to it. Along with a few more, below standard regulars. The points made by most on here about iwobi are correct, we all wish they weren't.
11 Feb 2018 00:00:56
I've said it before, Arsene's history with ruining good players is terrible, and in the last few years has any player really progressed under him?
11 Feb 2018 04:53:25
mate, i'm not saying he's an accomplished player by any means, but credit wheres credit due, and you slag him off then say put abaumeyang wide left. thank jebus you ain't our manager.
11 Feb 2018 00:00:56

11 Feb 2018 10:28:28
JPSAGOONER, Sanchez has progressed under Wenger, he was a sub at Barcelona and now the highest paid player in the league history at the biggest club in league history!
11 Feb 2018 11:42:26
Steve, Iwobi does give something, he gives the ball away far too much.
And jack he had one good match this season. And yes he didn’t start the match but he made it damn worst when he came in.
We are not football managers but even tho a lot of poeple on here make more sense than bloody Wenger and his tactics.
11 Feb 2018 17:57:20
Moe 😁.
11 Feb 2018 19:25:17
Guys
The players pick up a hefty pay check - if Laca is ruined already just because of a few substitutions then he has the wrong mentality for the league.
Why does Giroud start in front of him for France with anyone else?
Give Laca time but blaming Wenger seems premature.
10 Feb 2018 18:00:55
I'm off to Amsterdam this week window shopping and I'm hoping to bump into 90s music legends 2 unlimited, I'll ask them to remake no limit for the arsenal fans with no no no no no no there's no winning.
10 Feb 2018 18:04:45
Oh, don't Raver.
10 Feb 2018 18:13:04
Well done raver, it'll be poch out next month. Lol.
10 Feb 2018 18:26:39
You got to love this guy 😉.
10 Feb 2018 18:35:58
Or next week if Juventus and Rochdales pitch have anything to do with it Steve.
No trophy no top 4? Could Poch hold off the tide of spurs fanx that would surely turn against him after 3 seasons of fantastic progress if this season saw them finish up back in the Europa league next season. L.
10 Feb 2018 17:58:51
R. G., piers Morgan, Audley Harrison, Phil Mitchell, Vicky pollard you boys were chasing shadows all afternoon and the raver absolutely loved it, all I've heard this week that we had no chance now you have aubameyang and the Utd reject but good old Harold Kane silence's you yet again at the spurnabau. R. G. I'm cruising into London with McFadden and whitehead on the cd player with ain't no stopping us now, when I'm swinging around the poles in sir Peters later I'll be thinking of R. G. tucked up with his gorgeous wife crying into his bottle of most after falling further away from spurs. R. G. there's two things guaranteed in life and its the raver getting smashed and Harry Kane shutting Arsenal up.
10 Feb 2018 17:04:40
Wenger is just bad at making tactics for the big games period. When Arsenal win a big game it's because the opposition played poorly and we had a good day. Wenger never changes tactics he just picks the players and plays the same way over and over again. I bet he never analyses the opponent before the game. He is just too predictable. He never won a game against Mourinho just because of that. Mourinho knows how to play against him because he analyses his opposition which Wenger never does.
Wenger is just outaded and boring.
10 Feb 2018 17:47:07
February was supposed to be our new beginning, really!
10 Feb 2018 17:53:42
Well as far as the league is concerned February is 100% finished.
Our next league game is March the 1st :-)
11 Feb 2018 01:00:38
Our defending is pathetic. Thought Tuchel was the best fit for us but looking at our defending, it seems that we really need a defensive coach. At least with Allegri we would stop leaking so many goals.
10 Feb 2018 16:30:56
Well well what can we say, well played spurs you deserved to win.
When you give them too much time on the ball you telling them to go ahead and have a go. Poor wengers tactics all over again.
We player then before and pressed them high and gave them no chance why changes our damn tactics you lutanic manager.
And why on earth you brought in Iwobi. He’s got nothing to offer and he's got no future being a top level footballer.
We were known with our good passing but today showed from the back to the midfield we lack big time. How on earth you want to use the speed of your attack when you can’t get ball cross the half line.
Just bugger off Wenger you ruined your damn lagacy.
10 Feb 2018 16:46:17
Yeah 1st half was pretty even with neither keeper really tested but 2nd half Spurs pinned us back with good pressing and we never got any grip in the game and our forward players were starved of possession. Could have been a few more to Spurs baring cech making some good saves. We gave spurs to much initative really and they took control. Iwobi is pants Lacazette should start ahead of him and play a bit deeper behind abu. I think we also missed Rambo today Elneny and Xhaka just too static.
10 Feb 2018 18:13:56
I just think the players have been made to play too softly. We need some aggression in the team. Oh how I miss the invincibles. Strong and quick.
10 Feb 2018 15:45:54
I have no issues what-so-ever with Arsenal losing, IF I see the players leaving it all out on the pitch. It's these half baked performances that really annoy me.
Today was one of those performances.
Iwobi - what can I say about the kid. I don't just think he's a bad footballer for Arsenal, I think he's a bad footballer full stop. He brings nothing to the team, absolutely nothing.
At the end of the day, at least we're not doing any worse than the toot this season trophy-wise. In typical fashion, we had raver and nes (aka duhwayne) come into live chat to show what bad winners they are. The icing on the proverbial cake was Leahy12 coming in to rub the loss in. I guess there's nothing wrong with that because Manu thoroughly beat the spuds recently. Oh wait .
10 Feb 2018 16:20:23
I'm not to worried what others say mate its what everyone knows that troubles me.
There are just so many players in our squad/ team who just who just are not up to or are no longer up to playing in a competitive premier league team.
Kos is a huge favorite with us all and has been outstandingly brilliant for us and loyal to us but this season his standard has dropped several notches (simply age) and the chances are he will continue to decline more and more each season now.
Of our 25 man squad how many are really capable of competing at the top over a season in a first choice 11? And how many would struggle to make the city Liverpool utd Chelsea Spurs bench? Iwobi and Xhaka 100% but it doesn't start and end with just those two, they are just 2 that stand out most as not being good enough for a title challenge or Arsenal football club, but they are far from alone in not being good enough in my opinion.
10 Feb 2018 16:20:49
im with you there, iwobi should have been a stand up comedian he's so crap he makes me laugh, how he gets anywhere near our sqaud is a joke.
10 Feb 2018 16:49:50
Not sure what Wenger sees in Iwobi he offers nothing rather see Lacazette in his position deeper behind abu to see how that would work. We need that powerful box to midfielder that have not since Veria. Rambo does ok and was a miss today but he has not got that physical presence we lack.
10 Feb 2018 16:54:42
Ryan you've got to ask what Arsene sees in more than just Iwobi that no one else can see.
10 Feb 2018 16:54:42
Ryan you've got to ask what Arsene sees in more than just Iwobi that no one else can see.
10 Feb 2018 17:10:02
I’m not so worried or bothered! We have a team where the changes needed are obvious. New defenders and keeper and manager . Our attacking 3rd are fine in depth and section. Just need to sort out the rest. We still had many chances against a team that’s excellent defensively . We also could have shipped more goals and that’s down to spurs not been clinical. I would have preferred us to beat Everton 4-1 and aubas offside let go . But hey ho.
10 Feb 2018 18:21:14
Let's just say we are easy to play against. Too slow, no fight, no drive. We have pacey forwards yet we don't use them to change a game plan when it's not going well. I want to see this same team under another manager. Wenger isn't the same man he used to be and he is turning the players into soft footballers.
10 Feb 2018 18:23:04
All I’m saying is one half of the team is sorted let’s sort the other half out and new manager.
10 Feb 2018 18:42:07
New manager is key to sorting out the midfield and defence Sanogo mate, I Said 3 or 4 seasons back that by the time Arsene sorts out our attack our sorted areas will have left or aged.
If Arsene is allowed to carry on the trend will repeat it's self where in 3 or 4 seasons Pea and Mesut will be past their best or else where and even are back to where we started once again.
10 Feb 2018 15:22:19
For those who still dream of top 4 and might be in need of a lift
If either Liverpool or Chelsea fail to win this weekend the gap between us and 4th place has dropped from 8pts to 7pts over the last 2 games.
Obviously should they both win then we're back to square one of 8pts behind with 2 less games to go but niether has a walk in the park game this weekend.
10 Feb 2018 14:57:52
Arsenal won one
Spurs won one
Spurs celebrate like it's a trophy LMAO.
10 Feb 2018 15:06:15
So you were happy with your teams over all play odders? it really could have easily been 5-2.
Only you could post LMAO after losing a NLD.
10 Feb 2018 15:57:41
n. e spur credit where credit is due, even-steven's 1st half but 2nd half your lot played very very well, & we lacked a bit of bite, & not enough urgancy. could have been worse. (bigger score) . so we will dust down and move on. #wealllivetofightanotherday.
10 Feb 2018 14:49:35
Dags.
10 Feb 2018 15:11:21
As Wodbod said, 1-1 😂
NES, fair result. You should have smashed us, but we could have nicked a point at the end.
10 Feb 2018 15:16:05
could should.
Your scraping the barrel jumping on Odders posts Dag Spur.
He's been shouting the goal was a foul and our mate Wengers just said it was good forward play and no foul.
anyway I'm going to leave you all now till the end of the season, unless you lose again. 😉.
10 Feb 2018 15:35:24
See you soon then Nes :-)
10 Feb 2018 15:38:04
Yup yoyr up there with Swansea Stoke Bournemouth now Nes mate, dizzy heights indeed :-)
10 Feb 2018 14:46:53
Well that brought us crashing back down to earth.
10 Feb 2018 15:00:13

10 Feb 2018 14:32:26
quick question, has anyone ever seen Iwobi break into a sweat in an Arsenal shirt?
10 Feb 2018 14:47:47
Yes - when asked why he gives the ball away so often.
{Ed001's Note - good point.}
10 Feb 2018 14:49:56
Has anyone seen Mkthariyan? I only saw Mousa Dembele.
10 Feb 2018 15:13:47
Ed001,
Iwobi doesn't score, doesn't assist, doesn't dribble, not sure if he's a winger or striker (well, he definitely isn't a striker) .
Not sure what he does to be honest.
{Ed001's Note - and he doesn't work hard either. He is one of the worst players in the Prem for me.}
10 Feb 2018 16:34:36
What a joke of a player. And who the hell said he better than Dele Alli.
One of the worst player to wear the Arsenal shirt even Denilson was better than him.
10 Feb 2018 14:25:30
Well done Spurs - far better team on the day. We had a few late chances but they had far more chances in the game.
We lacked imagination in first half and put ourselves under pressure with stupid goalie distribution and poor passes.
We didn't create enough and Lacked quality today ( again )
Away form when it really counts is woeful
Well done Spurs - you deserved it and Kane had a great game.
10 Feb 2018 14:41:25
Respect SY. you lot were not at it till last 5 mins. maybe should have been 1 more, your keeper had a blinder.
10 Feb 2018 14:59:37
Spurs 3 times as many shots as us with 6 times as many on target and 4 times as many corners as us.
Don't think there is anything to argue about in this one, it was most definitely a deserved Spurs win.
10 Feb 2018 13:55:47
{Ed's Note - MancMan has posted a new article entitled, Revamping the Manchester United midfield
10 Feb 2018 13:36:35
To be fair - that was a great header from Kane
10 Feb 2018 14:26:22
To be fair that was a disgusting performance by Arsenal.
10 Feb 2018 14:30:59
Spurs deserved the win today, we never had much control in the 2nd half and were pushed back. Rambo was missed today as the link between defence and attack. Elneny and Xhaka too slow on the ball. Iowbi offers nothing either not sure how he gets in the side.
10 Feb 2018 13:08:44
Lots of discipline so far but now lacking cutting edge - need to get that balance because when we get the forward play, we look shaky at the back.
Think Rambo would give us the mix of both while Granit and Elneny are a bit static
COYG
10 Feb 2018 11:41:32
No Iwobi in the starting line-up which without be disrespectful to the lad has to be good for the team.
Maybe one day he will be an asset to the team but at the moment he is 95% of the time a passenger we can't afford.
10 Feb 2018 12:11:32
Rambo is a big miss as we lack goal scorers in midfield.
10 Feb 2018 12:25:01
Ideally you'd want Ramsey Wilshire SY mate but Elneney and Wilshire for me is better than Ramsey and Iwobi.
Xhaka whether anyone likes it or not is an automatic starter and something we have to accept even though fewer and fewer people agree with it.
10 Feb 2018 12:28:11
Apparently Rambo has a groin injury. He'll be missed but let's hope the lads on the pitch give it their all. Win or lose, if they give their all, that'll be good enough for me.
COYG!
10 Feb 2018 12:45:54
Totally agree with that Sharpie mate, you can't demand the result or even the performance but if the effort and commitment are there from all 11 then I'm happy however the game goes.
