Senegal's Arsenal Thread 2012/2013 : featuring positive negativity

[SteveUK]

aww man if ba had scored, i would of had the 3-1, ba,mata and walcott, no torres though, stupid lampard with his pen!

[Sy13]

According to Wenger, Ba is the same as Giroud!

Clown.

[SteveUK]

Somewhere a kitten dies, everytime a Centrehalf is forced to take a direct freekick.

[Henry_14]

He never said that, he said he choose Giroud over Ba. Didnt say he was the same and to tbh they arnt the same sort of player.

Only gotta look at our kick takers to see how we're lacking in that department, walcott has never scored a freekick and neither has tv!

Shouldnt Cazorla take all our direct free kicks? iirc he had an impressive conversion rate in La Liga with Malaga and Villarreal.

Tale of 2 halfs but unfortunately its ref 2 arsenal 1

[Jisntdaman]

Shame we only turned up in the second half. Again.

[Retro]

moan whinge... wenger out.

[Suggy33]

Lets just pretend the first half ever happened. Great second half for the best part, same as the last couple of games where we only play proper in the second half when chasing the game.

[Retro]

moan whinge... wenger out I say.

[Retro]

oh and moan whinge... wenger out.

[Retro]

Rinse and repeat ad nausiem.

[Chr1s Lawson]

Still no league win in jan, we do this quite often!!

[Sy13]

Tale of 2 halfs but unfortunately its ref 2 arsenal 1

Wengerites blaming the ref as usual instead of looking in the mirror.

First goal - should have been a FK to us but the whole team just stopped playing. Rule 1 in football, play to the whistle.

Second goal - in real time it's a stonewall penalty, no complaints.

[SteveUK]

We could turn that into a copy and paste phrase for certain posters! it would save alot of space on the board

I could just ban said people out of spite... it's tempting sometimes.

[SJ234]

Ref didn't help but the defending around it was awful and they could have had a pen against Diaby. Once again a 1 half performance. Really irritating.

[Sy13]

"Overall we started too timid, with not enough authority in a game like that. We paid very early." Arsene, last week. We don't learn.

[EdL]

Good c+p from twitter

Was hoping after the Swansea game we had put that no effort from the start bollocks behind us but apparently not!

I wouldnt say it was Stonewall on the basis it was a dive

[SJ234]

It was as stonewall as Cazorla's was against WBA

[Retro]

It was a contrived penalty.

Sorry, Wenger out!

Retro, you're clearly a huge Wengerite, stop defending him. Death to the surrender-monkey!

We should send him to the guillotine. WE WANT REDKNAPP! WE WANT REDKNAPP! WE WANT REDKNAPP!

[Jisntdaman]

The irony is, I'm actually more defensive when it comes to Wenger, because Sy/DJ constantly have a moan and whinge. It's so boring, it's so tedious.

[pearcey_90]

Cant see how they say it was a dive. When moving forward than having to move to right, your right leg goes down infront of you to than allow the turn of the body where you than push off on our left leg. You don't plant your right leg to the right.

How Jamie and co can say it's un natrual is ludicrous. Like to see them move 1m forward than turn right and see where there right leg goes.

This. When talking to my friends who aren't as irrational I am much more critical.

I think you may have a point there tbh.

[bergkamp]

Was a strange game in terms of the contrast between the two half's. Why we didn't play in the first half, I don't know, although Chelsea were sharp.

Its frustrating though, because the way we played showed a lot in the second and we started to look like the home team. It did however, also highlight that we are missing something, with no goal threat to come off the bench. The way the game was going, with us in the ascendency, it was set for a top striker to come on and give us that extra push, but we don't have it.

Impressed with how much Gibbs has improved. Coquelin as well, I think he can be a real good player.

[Sy13]

34pts out of a possible 66. Defend that if you can.

[Suggy33]

Could be worse.

[Falahk]

its amusing when ppl are having a dig at sy/dj just for the sake of it based on there reputation, even if the point they made was a sensible one (which to be fair dont happen that often...but it does happen)

Henry_14 falling into the trap today and by doing so provided some great comedy gold

Surely their own fault, no?

[Sy13]

RvP with another goal.

Sold for footballing reasons.

Wenger should have said he left because we don't have any ambition at the club and need the cash. That would really help bring in players.

[Sy13]

Wenger should have said RvP is going nowhere and forced him to see out his contract. That would really help bring in players.

Fixed for you.

[SJ234]

Yay then we lose him on a free

[Sy13]

Getting £24m for him means squat. We'll finish outside the top 4, not qualify for UCL, and it'll cost us the same money. What's the difference?? At least by keeping him we are better positioned to attract better players and maybe convince RvP to stay.

[Stano84]

And what if he stands there and does **** all when hes on the pitch

May be a hindsight point but it's rather true.

[SJ234]

Problem with you Sy is that you make the wrong points. The point to be made is questioning why his contract only had a year to run

[Falahk]

And what if he stands there and does **** all when hes on the pitch

then he would have less chance of getting a big contract at a different club

[ubos]

Didn't wanna renew, club not showing ambition, best players sold constantly, wanted to win trophies etc. Everyone knows the point.

[Sy13]

If you look back in this thread to last summer, I was making EXACTLY the same point. It wasn't hindsight back then.

I think RvP's situation was rather unique because he hadn't been fit for any length of time before last season. Had he broken down again he probably would have been released anyway and he wouldn't have become what he is now. However, the question is why do we suffer from so many crippling injuries for long periods so often?

then he would have less chance of getting a big contract at a different club

Exactly this, and I also made that point last summer.

Anyone who thinks RvP would've lounged around on his £75k/week when he could've played his heart out for a bigger contract elsewhere are utterly deluded.

[SJ234]

Didn't wanna renew, club not showing ambition, best players sold constantly, wanted to win trophies etc. Everyone knows the point.

It is clear why last summer but why wasn't he offered one earlier as it was clear he was a very talented player and his injuries aren't a result of one chronic issue unlike Diaby.

[Sy13]

Oh, and just in case anyone has lost the perspective, Fergie called Wenger on the phone and convinced him to sell RvP to United. By the way, Wenger is on £7m a year which is more than Fergie whilst we pay the highest ticket prices in the land. All the while things get worse every season.

Happy new year.
