Inconsistency seems to be our best friend nowadays and at this point i would tow the line of debosky and a few other Gunners We can't win this league i have switched from optimistic mode to realistic mode i don't know what was the problem of those lads today maybe they where still high of the Utd victory we lined up 5 midfielders and still played like the away team we where dominated from start to finish and our paper-thin midfield was clueless throughout and when we had a few breaks forward that Danish Giraffe ended up spoiling things honestly Bendtner should be loaned to West Brom or a team trying to avoid relegation come January that dude is shyte!!!

I would wager 11 games  .Arsenal would lose 11

Why are you Scummies calling my name? ok i am here now 

Who are the Gaynners playing next? HMMN . . . . . Man City

Lol!!! I've been singing it on this thread that all y'all should expect nothing from Wenger this season.

Are you sure . .I am fine hun wetin man go do?

[font=Lucida Sans Unicode]Sorry oooo arsenal fans[/font]

Is clichy truely being blackmailed?Interpol should please look into that.How could he score such a lovely goal and still be clapping and smiling.

Fabregas seems not to be giving his all.He's either tired or confused.He's gone through a lot in the past 3 years you know.So much responsibility,past hopes and no results for such age.its beginning to tell on him.I like to see arsenal play but looks like the manager is the cause of the whole mess.He hardly learns.There's more probability of Fergie or Scolari buying good players in january than Arsene buying any player.Thats absurd.At the end of the day, you really can't blame the boys

@ Imago,
Don't forget ou heard it from me first, Clichy sold out!!! See the way he was clapping he couldnt hide his delight at the result.

The only transfer happening soon is Wenger selling Fabregas to barcelona and buying Aguero/Maradona's daughter foetus.

@dayokanu
sure, I heard it from you 1st.maybe someone's threatened him

arsenal cnt win this league

I'm not surprised @ the result cos I'd long concluded Arsene wasn't ready to compete for the EPL,maybe the UCL & CC.So let's see what he does or vice versa in January(assuming d gap btw us & the league leader is still assailable),till then ,I gat me 2 hands on da red button.

@ Gunnerz                                   
Heard AW is aiming to bring in Oba Martins in January,well whether he does or doesn't ,I'll still be rooting for Arsenal long after he's gone because ALL other EPL teams are shyte.There's a hostel I'm putting up & I'll have an artist sculpt the Arsenal crest on the approach parapet,talk about the Gunnerz Lodge,with discountet rates for only Arsenal fans.It's that deep.

Well, well, ISP on now . Nice weekend so far at the NL Hospital. Last week I stated it clearly that Wenger wasn't managing Arsenal as a football club. When he was jumping up last weekend, one would think it was becos of the goals/win but na lie . If only he can see how he affects people's lives .
@ Criz
Pls put the SWAT Team on code red. Debo has been trying a break since midnight
@ Emp
Where are you o? I expected to have seen you move into an apartment in this thread .

please put the SWAT Team on code red. Debo has been trying a break since midnight Grin

Dr.
Yes am very much around. Was just concluding logistics arrangement to put my lodge in place. Cris darl has given me the in ahead to organise the SWAT guys, she went to service hence can't be here. Already the SWAT team are on there way here. Just be sure debo and Muki don't escape. I can't find Loyika and kit.

God, the Gaynner have been Astonished and roundly smothered. I am ready to bet the Gaynner will win the EPL this season. Who is ready to take me on?

All the scums and chavs and all what not calling my name.
Guess you can't read
I gave a prognosis of what happenned and y'all are still calling my name.
Sack Wenger,Arsenal will go on relegation,Arsenal will lose 13 matches,bla,bla,bla,
One chap even suggested that Had Spurs started well, they will be above Arsenal now?
Obviously right now, we don't have the level of consistency required to win the league.
This season reminds me of the 05/06 season when we literally struggled to finish 4th.
Hopefully, that won't happen again.
I still insist that the 4-5-1 formation killed us yesterday.
Someone was saying, if it worked against manure, it should work against AV.
I thought that was dumb.Manure and Aston Villa are not the same.
They don't play the same way.
Someone also said, Villa didn't play men behind the ball.
They did(Not begrudging them for that,you have to play to your strength)
We couldn't deal with Agbonlahor and Young's pace upfront.
A 4-4-2 from the blast of the whistle could have changed things.
All hope isn't lost yet, we need to go all out in the cup competitions and we need to concentrate 100%.
And to the haters.
If Clichy cries, he's a wimp
If he claps and appreciates the spectators,rubbish is written about him.
Lay off Clichy abeg.
I trust that a scummie would come in here to come and analyse this post.
Anyways, am still forever a Gunner

I can see all the scumtwats really wanking themselves away,go on cz if yall try hard enough,y'all might actually ejaculate

i bet you guys finish outside the top 4 this season

I've been entertaining a guest from out of town, hence no time for nairaland all weekend.

What can I say? Another insipid performance from the Gunners - as someone mentioned earlier - Cesc's poor form has been a factor in this as well.

We seemed tired - for no reason really, none of the starting 11 played midweek, so why are they tired after having a whole week's rest?

The defence was under pressure throughout the game as I could see from the highlights of the first half and the second half that I watched, so even the 4-5-1 did not produce much defensive steel. On the day though, with the injured personnel it was likely the best starting formation, though I don't think Bendtner should've started when Ade was fit.

All in all, it goes to prove my point - Arsenal will NOT win the premiership this season - we are losing the types of games we only lost against the scummies or chelski to Hull and Villa now - teams who do not play negative but still manage to beat us at home - very worrying indeed.

When I was analysing a few weeks ago stating this would likely happen, optimists said I was too negative. Now the crap has hit us right in the face and there can be no escaping it.

Yes, we can hold on to the usual excuses - we were unlucky for Clichy to have scored an own goal (though that had been coming for games now, Clichy's errors have been EXTREMELY costly so far this season).

I will write about Clichy later, though a prescient gooner has been bleating at the top of his lungs for months now about how Clichy's errors will cost us dearly. search for the 'arsenal-truth' blog on oleole.com to read more.

- the ref should've given a foul in the build up to the second goal and all that.

But in reality - we created no luck of our own - save for Fab's two shots and Ade's header off the post, we created precious little AT HOME.
We even had luck when Almunia guessed correctly and saved a penalty and Gallas was not throwing a tantrum at the halfway line and so could actually clear the ball after the save. Unfortunately we didn't do enough .

People will say buy players in January and all that, but I'm not convinced that will solve anything for Arsenal right now - something is seriously wrong in the backroom - AW needs to look at himself and his coaching team and see if there is anything he can do to put things right. New players will not solve this one-dimensional play we've been displaying.

If AW is wise, he'll focus on making 4th, then go all out to win the FA cup or the CL. That is the only redemption he can have this season. Will he do it? Time will tell.

hey, moderator, what happened to the old thread?

Arsenal should be playing in their useless french league , premier league is way too much for their standard , imagine relegation contenders ie hull fc and stoke thrashing them , , shoe get size

debosky:

Gallas should take all the blame for the 2 goals scored by Aston Villa.

On the build up to the first goal. . . . . .Ashley Young Vs Gallas.
Every roach in this country knows Ashley Young plays on the left but uses his right foot 90% of the time.
Gallas(an experienced defender) shoulda forced him to move to the left side instead of cutting in like he did.
As soon as Young got the space to use his right foot, the outcome was always gonna be deadly.

2nd goal. . . . .I also agree Arsenal shoulda been awarded a freekick but even then. . . .there was still so much to do.
Villa's clearance had Gallas and Agbonlahor head to head running towards Almunia's goal.
How did Gab steal a march on Gallas?? Gallas shoulda got to the ball first and a simple body charge woulda knocked Gabby off his stride.
If he had used his head with a simple defensive move and the goal woulda been avoided.

@ Balash,

Eduardo and Nasri cost more than the Villa team and yet they slammed you 2-0 on your soil.
What has money gotta do with it?
Your team is poor. . . . . .irritatingly poor and you are here using money and the age of players as excuses.
Hang your head in shame, boyo.

Is this a joke or what? where is the old thread? AT least there should be an update or something?

Very poor change management skills by the admin. At least remove the highbury picture at the top and put a picture of the emirates

just like some said, i am hopelessly devoted to Arsenal.
