Arsenal Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2016

Francie Barrett

It's been 20 years since Arsene took charge at Arsenal. Perhaps it's time to start talking the mental fragility of this team? I know it's not popular, but Arsenal teams are incredibly consistant in crumbling when any degree of pressure is applied.

And what relevance does that have to today?

How is that relevant to what's going on the pitch? You're not wrong, but what a bizarre time to bring that up.

Does Robbie Savage ever agree with the ref giving a decision against Leicester. He's a terrible pundit

It just seems like Arsenal accepted the draw today. I watched the first 20-30 minutes, and genuinely thought Arsenal would get the first goal. After 30 minutes thought, it really felt like the players just downed tools.

No, they're just playing like crap.

You're not watching the match right now are you? Like I said, bizarre post.

pudzey101

Think we might been in for bad day if that musa lad started.

That's a peno.

Sanchez can't hold onto the ball ffs

Hanging on here

FT. Get the cheque book out Wenger.

Skylinehead

Surely he sees the striker problem now?

Ardennes1944

Not good enough, simply just not good enough.

Insipid performance.
No fire in the bellies at all.
This team will win feck all playing like that.

FixitFelix

Substitions where mind boggling, how the **** was the ox hooked and that wanker Walcott left on.
And we didn't put in one cross when giroud came on which is just unbelievable

Also no way is Sanchezero fit!!

kronsington

Not a great performance there. No fluidity. Sanchez really looks off the boil. No cutting edge in midfield. Defensively ropey and we were fortunate not to concede a couple of pens. Doesn't change anything. Sanchez is not the solution to our Striker issue.

Any fan that's thinks this club has any ambition to win a league only has to look at the first two games to realise they don't. This club wants top 4 only.

We sacrificed falling behind the real contenders by 5/6 points without any real concern. All the top teams have there top players back playing and yet again we rest. Ozil and Giroud should have played today, they should have played last week they are clearly fit enough.

Why did we take the chances? Because Wenger knows you can chase top 4 being this far behind no problem but the chase the league you'd push your players more.

The board and Wenger can **** of they have created a civil war at our club to make themselves money. Stupid fans allow it happen

A draw away to the champions?

5 off the pace already. 36 league games with Wenger to go hopefully.

In fairness Walcott had some of our best chances after Ozil came on.

I would have taken Sanchez off instead of Ox.

If it wasn't for Kos and Cech and the ref at the end we'd have been battered today what a disgrace

gandalf

5 points dropped already. I bet he says we played with character or other such rubbish. Until Kroenke is ousted we won't see any real improvement even if Wenger goes.

omega man

Jack and Ox go down to away end, fair play.

1 point against 2 average looking teams.

Septic performance. Sanchez was shocking. Lucky not to concede a penalty. Going nowhere. Another season of this rubbish ahead. :mad: Wenger's done.

So my point stands, he had our best chances and done **** all with them,you think the ox would have let Morgan catch him for the big chance he had??

emergingstar

Sanchez was muck

Holding was good

bad2dabone

I thought we were very bad. Dog**** in fact.
At least we didn't get beaten although we should have been

Owners are going no where our own fans can't get the balls together to demand change. I think Wenger being their means some are showing respect.

Should Wenger go and this continues with a new manager then I think we'll see the board ousted

I have no idea. My point is that Sanchez should have been the one coming off, not Walcott or Ox.

Skylinehead

It's not the worst result in the world, but the performance just wasn't good enough.

DarraghF197

Arsenal score three goals against Liverpool. Conclusion, we don't need a striker!

Arsenal keep a clean sheet against Leicester. Conclusion, we don't need a centre-back!

Transfer business done and dusted!
