Hello raver, we were dire tonight and i'm sure you enjoyed the xmas comedy special, but like us mate the old spuds will end up like the famous ronnie corbett, a little short.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Dec 2015 23:29:21
I knew someone would come along with a cracking joke to cheer us all up, we usually wait until the end of the season to laugh at spuds but what the hell let's start now.

We need more than two players and a partridge in a pear tree to win the league.

Just my opinion nothing more nothing less, at Arsenal from top to bottom everyone would like to win the title very much.
But no where from top to bottom is their a desperate hunger or burning desire to do everything possible to really make sure it happens.
Ian Wright said at half time he thought Arsenal would come out and fight and turn things around, after the game he apologised and said he'd confused what he and the his Arsenal would have done with what the Arsenal of recent years do.
Aw i say just my opinion but there's is far to much wishing it and not enough really wanting it.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Dec 2015 23:15:51
Gunner we can dress it up anyway we like and say we are better at this that and the other, but all we did was buy a new goalkeeper ( who by the way was dire tonight ) who is an upgrade but everything else is the same, including our ability to get hammered by someone every season, good or not so good. We are not the title challenging team we think we are and this year its not going to be that hard to win it compared to others. The mentality in this unit is not win at all costs and don't let up and it must be to win big. But we are only moaners and don't know what we are on about mate.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Dec 2015 23:17:49
Lke it or lump it, we thought all we had to do was turn up

Our record away at Southampton is crap. it still is.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Dec 2015 23:25:10
Ian Wright should not be a pundit talks crap every week. Enjoy Glenn Hoddle much better pundit and a much better player than every other pundit on tv.

OK,
Let's put this into perspective.
Topsy turvy season for every team.
Let's just call it a Christmas hangover and a very bad day at the office.
We could have gone top and laid down a marker.
We were awful, but credit to Saints, they were terrific.
Brush ourselves down and let's get 3 points against Bournemouth.

Yes and less Christmas cake and more humble pie Dags..

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Dec 2015 22:16:06
Remember,
If we beat Bournemouth, we go top (Leicester play City Tuesday, I think).
So, things ain't too bad (trying to be positive here).

26 Dec 2015 22:29:56
Like our game v Newcastle mate, points thrown away.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Dec 2015 22:50:46
Just don't tell the players we could go top. Keep it to yourself dags.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Dec 2015 23:02:07
Northeast,
A big slice of humble pie to go with the Turkey mate.
Steve, we will show up against Bournemouth, beat them 2-0 and go top.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Dec 2015 00:30:57
Dags we might well just do that but i'm not putting my mortgage on it.

26 Dec 2015 21:38:56
Silly me, i was just starting to come round to the idea we'd sorted our defensive problems out. I won't get caught like that again, how embarrassing.

26 Dec 2015 22:02:24
What a season . It's ridiculous the EPL dosent have one good team, carved like the proverbial bird tonight! It wasn't just the 4-0 drubbing! We looked useless torn to bits never looked like scoring and an obvious Xmas hang over! How can you play so well against city and then get mauled by the saints, you forget Norwich and west brom we should be well in front but we have no balls no guts no desire! And if we can't win this league in this state then we want to give up 👎🏻

Fair play to the saints. Thanks for having one of your good days against us.

We can't play merts against barca. Suarez will end him.

Mate, its not like I don't believe in our team but Barcelona will run a riot against our shaky defence especially if mert plays.

26 Dec 2015 21:43:03
Would he be happy not starting every game?

We need to show we can win the league for players like that to strengthen the squad

He might as well stay where he is and negotiate a bigger pay deal.

If we regularly challenge for league and go far in champs league - then he would be happy to rotate.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Dec 2015 21:45:54
Terrible result tonight boys.. Your Center backs looked like they weren't interested..

Agree2 Disagree0

26 Dec 2015 21:50:35
People talk about Carvalho or nothing and that's why when titles are handed out it always sorry nothing for Arsenal this season.
If you do nothing you get nothing over and over again.

Loud and clear 62 you are the voice of reason . It's a good job the rest of the league is shit or this form wouldn't get top four in a competitive year.

Steve.r,

You lot looked like you turned up expecting to win. Wasn't a close loss either.

Agree1 Disagree0

26 Dec 2015 23:42:12
Steve he will end up at spurs I reckon. We thought merts was better than alderwiereld strange. Sooner he's sold the stronger we will be.

Always going to be difficult away at the Saints. be more than happy with a point.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

26 Dec 2015 20:33:48
Difficult when you can't find a player with a pass

Terrible first half - Wenger needs to give them a kick up the Arsenal at halftime as they look like they are still celebrating Christmas

Wake up guys!

Who the hell is Elneny? Will he ride the bench with Arteta or is he useful?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

26 Dec 2015 18:00:29
I have a horrible feeling that the team that will be our main challengers to the EPL is Spurs . You have to give it to them! They look hard to beat and have scored as many and conceded the same. have Arsenal and Spurs ever gone head to head as main challengers for a title before?

Of course it's early days and have a difficult game away at the unpredictable saints tonight! Best foot forward boys 👊🏻.

Hi Ed's hope you've had a lovely Christmas so far, I saw a report saying Arsenal are close to signing an Egyptian defensive midfielder? Any truth in this, thanks.

If Leicester loose tonight it will make our game against the saints soooo much more important, we have two games coming up in quick succession so we could open up a 4 point lead over them before they play citeh on Tuesday, no pressure aye!

He reminds me a bit of capello with England, when he first came in he brought much needed discipline and authority and things improved but much like capello he took it to far.
Morning and evening training sessions was excessive IMO and was never going to promote a good atmosphere and team morale.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Dec 2015 09:44:37
We've played 4 games without Sanchez now and won them all including the brilliant performance and result at Olypiakos and of course the city win where in the previous month with him our only victory was at home to Zargreb.
Of course we're a better side with Sanchez than without him but its got to be good news for team moral to realise we're not as Sanchez reliant as might have been thought before, plus Arsene should feel a little more confident resting him after those long haul flights following international games in future.

Walcott for me is the key, ramsay right giroud up top sancez left has no balance or pace. Ozil can hit walcott behind and feed a paceyer front three, with cambell improving. For me walcott sancez and a levendoski type player would take us to a new level. But at the moment walcott sancez and giroud will have to do for the prem. let's hope we neveresee ramsay at right wing ever again. We open teams up better with the pace and movement of a fit walcott.

Ramsey on the right is a classic case of trying to make your favourite ingredients fit into the recipe.

Agree2 Disagree0

26 Dec 2015 13:20:33
I honestly think Joel Campbell has made a difference and earned his place in the squad. All he wanted was a chance like le coq last year. Necessity makes for some strange bed fellows.

Agree1 Disagree0

26 Dec 2015 15:20:09
Totally agree 28 Joel has done very well and is better wide than both Aaron and Santi.
Big decisions might need to be made at some point.
