Quarter final of a cup competition, a point off top and an absolute freak result last week takes away from the great season they are having?

And have won nothing in 9 years, but the odd win in a cup competition covers over the cracks that arsenal fans are blind to see. Wengers failure to buy a world class forward will cost Arsenal deeply.

Oh goodness i'm sure Arsenal will worry about that in the QF of the F.A cup, last 16 of the CL and still finish ahead of Liverpool in the PL but sure ya's did beat them 5-1.

Challenging on 3 fronts this year, why do you pool fans always looks backwards.

You have one game a week until end of season we are mixing with the big boys and challenging all 3 top trophies will we win all? Unlikely. Will win win one? quite possibly. But atleast we are in the mix

I dont disagree with that and all Arsenal fans wouldnt, we badly needed a top striker. But the way Liverpool fans celebrated here last week after an absolute fluke result in all fairness was any better? Werent Liverpool absolutely irrelevant for the last 3 years? Wouldnt you also agree so that Rodgers failure to sign a midfielder will cost Liverpool?

Don't Liverpool have a reputation for fúcking up against the small teams in the league? Stop making excuses for your under-preforming club.

Good game.

I thought Liverpool deserved a draw at least. Was a stone wall penalty. How in name of God did Webb bottle that.

In fairness Arsenal scored 2 nice goals especially the 2nd. Some of Liverpools passing was terrific to watch on another day they would have won.

Still impressive response by Arsenal. Fair play to them.

the same factors affected arsenal, however we've won titles in the interim, as have blackburn.
the eight seasons thing is very tedious at this stage. if building a 400m stadium while keeping the club at the top an in the CL was easy then why haven't liverpool done it?
the fact is arsenal have done things the right way, and will continue to do so.

The trophies are coming to us.

Yes they were awesome and Wenger was a top manager back then.

I wouldn't call it a fluke result. We've hammered our rivals for those Champions League spots five nil, four nil and five one whilst also hammering plenty of other teams in the league by scoring at least four goals.

wenger is absolutely a top manager.
he has his faults, but overall he's undoubtedly one of the best.

Do u think morinho would have won anything at arsenal with that squad and budget?

D'Agger

I usually hate Arsenal away, I'm used to them dictating play for large chunks but today Liverpool actually performed quite well I thought.

We're still not 100% at the back, getting Enrique, Sahko & Johnson will help but I think when you look at the chances we created, and simply weren't able to capitalize upon, the terrible decision from Webb etc. then you can look at it as not being your day.

With that said, credit to Arsenal who defended far, far better than in the league match, with Flaminis inclusion helping naturally. I think we've gotten used to Liverpool taking the chances we create which is natural given the form Sturridge and Suarez have been in this season. Today we just didn't get the rub of the green imo.

Credit to Sterling, especially when moved to RB, commendable performance, Coutihno & Gerrard were busy as ever trying to make things happen but I think our lack of quality in the full backs meant we never caused Arsenal trouble all over the pitch.

It was a good game to watch & best of luck to Arsenal, back to the league and hopefully cementing top 4 for us.

In 9 years? Of course. Wengers failure to buy a top striker in January will cost Arsenal the premiership, but it won't matter to their fans as long as they get champions league football.

Mou creates nothing and leaves a mess behind him. He's the ultimate short termer. It's always about him. That's not like Wenger. Wenger could've gone to real Madrid, could've gone to psg with all their wealth. Instead he secured the long term future of his club, at cost to his reputation amongst some people. He's not perfect and can be heavily criticised for some things but he's undoubtedly been great for Arsenal and for English football and he'll be missed when he's gone.

When you think about it, laughing at a person over a team they support in which they have no control over the results of in any way really is pathetic, but I suppose thats the banter of it all!

Arsenal were humiliated last Saturday, were awful on Wednesday and were lucky to win today, but the team goes on a lap of honour and the fans celebrate like they just won the premiership (a lot like getting 4th spot last season). It just goes to show what a deluded bunch they are.

Stop being so pointlessly bitter.

This was the point for the last few years that we would have dropped out of all competitions.

The wobble started last week when Liverpool blew us off the pitch. However, this year we righted it quickly by not losing to Man U and then pulled off a great win against Liverpool while still managing to rest half our first team for an absolutely massive midweek game vrs Bayern.

P.S. curious to see how bat**** mental Liverpool would go if they secured 4th on the final day.

Most of the teams he managed have had big budget to buy world class players. Wenger hasn't and Chelsea will not win the title either as they have failed to sign a cf too

Yes, the foreign club I arbitrarily happen to support has a better past than the foreign club you arbitrarily happen to support.

I thought we stopped this stuff in 2nd year ... Or should I say when our minds reached that of an average 14 year old.




Anyway done for the year. GL pool, see you next year, won't miss you. Now take some points off the others too.

He clearly kicked Skrtels foot should have been a Lpool free and a red for Cazorla, Webb bottled it again.

Ithink it's brilliant you wasted your time searchingthrough my posts and you only found a post where I ask my fellow fans their opinion. Great detective work! Wenger has answered his critics. I've also thought that it wouldn't be a disaster if he didn't sign a new deal, because he's leaving the club in a great position for the future.

Disagree. His foot is nowhere near the ball and follows through after Cazorla swings for it.

BMMachine

oh quarryman is out. every little victory I suppose... thats kinda the motto of the guys in my primary school class who supported utd. I wonder if there is anything to that...


was a good game, great cup tie. arsenal seem to have learned their lesson and were able to control liverpool nicely. Podolski's goal once again showed the weaknesses in liverpools defence, was almost too easy for them. shame to go out as I think we would devour everton in the quarters.

Are you for real? Letting yourself down with that one Nox. He went for the ball and missed. Got the player. As clear as day. Was a penalty all day, and to deny it is bordering on dillusional. Every bit as bad as Ox's tackle at the other end, except with less theatrics and of course less Andy Gray commentary to make the most of it.

Once you're playing for the ball it doesn't matter if you completely miss and get the man.

It was there to be won ref.

Don't worry, I didn't need to waste much time. That was the first post that came up, no doubt worse. Who knows, maybe 6 months time you'll change your mind again.
