123' 5-7 Chamakh

Arsenal finally win.... but seriouslly FFS why do we go down 4 nil to start with....

[russjaybee]

Most spastic game of football ffs. Nuts.

Yeh we were WOEFUL in the first half, kosc getting absolutely dominated by JASON ROBERTS FER FECKS SAKE.

Djourou looked very ordinary.

Shame Martinez wasn't brilliant.

Thought le coq was ok, frimmerz didn't add much at all and we looked better when he was off.

Arsharvin was a little lively especially when playing in behind the front players (his best and REAL position?).

Theo needs to be starting EPL games ffs, though he's probably knackered and wont be able to play this weekend now

God damn I hope Gibbs miraculously recovers...... .. ...

I'm scared, hold me...

[hawk]

laydown Sally's do their duty again

[russjaybee]

Annnnnnnd Gibbs didn't miraculously recover.

We are a shower of shit at the moment. Can't attack, can't defend. Look like a bag of scared kitten out there.
Seeing TV5 **** that clearance up and set the C8@# up perfectly was breathtaking, seriously.

I'm more concerned about our performances against QPR and Norwich than this result.
The club keeps arguing that we can't compete with the might of Chelsea / City / United YET, but we're not even competing with the lower boys we should be kicking around. We look jaded, have no flow and lack any sort of confidence.

FML.

Jacks Back... scored this morn, havent seen goals been at work. But Lu Lu supposedly scored an absolute bomb... Knockout stages again...

[pv4]

muswellbrookian went to the game. lucky duck

[goaliepersempre]

lucky indeed.

[russjaybee]

- holy dicks, poldi's volley was a bullet, beautiful
- giroud with a double assist
- jacks finish was quality, he was pretty solid without being outstanding
- whole team was generally poor in the first half, giving away the ball lots etc, jack particularly
- giroud was totally off his game first half, lost the ball lots with his back to goal, seemed like he had other things on his mind? came out 2nd half much better!
- some small moments of great play during the 2nd half, ox, santi, poldi all involved. moments of great 1 touch flowing football

[pv4]

- giroud with a double assist

boom boom

[russjaybee]

wow!!!!

A general question, are you guys as Arsenal fans still happy with Arsene as the manager? Do you think he needs to be moved on? If so who would be your ideal replacement? (I know you guys have just won and had good performances the last week, but im just asking out of interest and RDM sacking has got me contemplating)

Im not necessarily saying he needs to be let go, but he's been there a long time and I have read other forums where people are a bit disgruntled and struggling to understand some of his sleections and frustration with his transfer decisions.

[pv4]

as the tuesday club points out countless times - arsene is the greatest manager in the game. he's being restrained by the board.

I have Piers Morgan on twitter purely for the when Arsenal lose... and he is adamant that it is all to do with #IvanTheTerrible and not Arsene, I think.

[Jeterpool]

Interesting.

I was wondering and reflecting back on my feelings jsut before Rafa came to the end of his time. Granted he seemed to be losing the plot in my opinion. He was talking in riddles, putting out odd teams with defenders as midfielders and I felt at that time despite what he had done for the club in the past it was time to move on and change.

I don't follow Arsenal closely enough to know what is going on with the board. It sounds like what Rafa had to do, to an extent, and buy a Mercedes on the budget of a Toyota.
