Could be worse lads, we could be PSG fans . just saying.

They played away

We got done 5-1 5-1 don't dress it up lol.

08 Mar 2017 22:28:28
We broke a record they had a record broken against them. Not sure how I'm dressing anything up when what I said, while true, was said tongue in cheek.

Will Emery get the sack though Sharpie 😂😂😂.

08 Mar 2017 22:39:32
@Stoner: #Emery Out!

08 Mar 2017 23:13:46
Don't want Emery.
He's a Dick.

Wenger saying we are still in a good place leads me to think more then ever that he has already signed that contract and is waiting for a good run (if that ever happens that is ) to announce it, and as i already said i cannot believe Allegri, Tuchel and Uncle Tom Cobbly and all have agreed to stand by
and play yes you can be our manager or thanks but no thanks.
What a sorry, sorry state Wenger/ Board have
got us into.
As for last night you gave it a go and even though some dodgy decisions by the match officials, as in previous years the damage once again has already been done in the
first leg, as for Sanchez laughing, make of that what you will.
As for Saturdays game against Lincoln who
knows what will happen.

i really hope not.

08 Mar 2017 21:29:23
Again I say

Wenger will be in charge next year how people can't see that I will never know.

I have a feeling this is it Banbury mate. People keep saying it's like this every season but I don't remember it being this bad. The wenger out club is getting bigger by the week.

08 Mar 2017 16:22:03
We are in a good place. compared to Sunderland.

08 Mar 2017 09:35:24
Honestly i checked the score line when it was 90mins plus injury time and i thought either i was having delusions or perhaps a score line error. Lol.

I understand many are slating Sanchez for laughing when we conceded. Well, sometimes, we do laugh at repetitive situations when we get tired not because we don't care but just because they are routine. Maybe he laughed when he didn't know he actually has and this tells how bad things are at the club. It feels like whenever he wants to get the team forward, the team drags him back and he feels there's nothing he can do to help anymore. Oh and i was a bit befuddled when Ramsey made the starting eleven without playing any competitive game.

It certainly wasn't a clear situation, but I don't really think anyone should be sticking up for Sanchez after last night. It doesn't really matter what he was laughing at, (I honestly thought it was because of something Cech said to him) if your team is losing by any amount you should never be caught laughing or smiling on the bench. This is especially true in the modern game with the amount of media coverage, it just creates more unnessecary dis.

I don't think anyone should be sticking up for Sanchez after last night. It doesn't really matter what he was laughing about, if your team is losing you shouldn't be seen either laughing or smirking on the bench; especially in this day and age where everything a player does will be scrutinized heavily by the media - it creates unwanted distractions.

In the past two months Sanchez's attitude and overall level of play has been disappointing to say the least. He presses the opposition defense at unnecessary times, and then flails his arms and throws a temper tantrum when the players behind him don't follow suit. Sanchez has given the ball away more than any other player in the league this season, and he hasn't run 9km in a game since 2016. Only working hard when the ball gets somewhat close to you doesn't represent a high work rate, and it certainly doesn't give you the right to complain on the field about your teammates' efforts in that regard. Sanchez might still be top drawer but I wouldn't call him a leader, and we certainly need more leaders at Arsenal.

This isn't to slate what you're saying Willy, that justification makes sense - I just think that if you're on the bench you need to be acting like a professional at all times.

08 Mar 2017 15:03:29
if you went in to your work, worked the hardest you could, dragged almost every one of your colleagues through the year only for you to be let down year after year, wouldn't you be a bit cheesed off too? can we really be annoyed at sanchez for putting in half-assed shifts if there's basically no reward? it'd be pretty soul crushing.

i might get some flack for saying this but i was laughing with sanchez too. i was laughing because the situation and the score line is/ was beyond ridiculous.

08 Mar 2017 15:35:01
he certainly has the right to feel that way, but if you're getting being paid over 100,000 a week I'd hope you'd have the perspective and professionalism not to show that frustration and just continue to do your job. That's probably asking too much of modern footballers though.

After last night i have allowed myself some time to think about the result and what may happen now we are out of Europe again. I have come to the conclusion that we simply cannot compete with the best. Yes we have some great players, yes we have a great manager but they are not as great as the best teams in Europe or at home now. We can beat anyone on our day but consistently we cannot. Our injuries list is embarrasing so we need to look at how we manage players fitness. Look at Jack, how much game time he has managed at Bournemouth. He would have had 2 or 3 injuries by now for us. I fear that Wenger will want to stay until he has won one more trophy just like a gambling addict will want to stay at a fruit machine until he has won one more time. The difference is that Wenger has the money to keep pumping the "fruit machine" to give himself a better chance but refuses to do so. Hence i really hope we win the fa cup this year so wenger can bow out gracefully and on a high that he deserves. If he doesn't win then i fear he will hang around even longer and that jackpot will never come.
Does this make sense? I am at home with man flu and my missus has been moaning at me and i just wanted to ramble on!

To be honest i was expecting this humiliation even though the ref was a bit harsh with the red card. Don't think kos staying on the pitch would have made a big difference. Watched wenger's post match interview. He didn't look like he was willing to go. What should the club do now knowing that it is in the club's best interests and even wenger's own legacy that he steps down at the end of the season? Interesting times.

Amazing
We where the better side till the sending off.
