Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread Keep up the good vibes Rainey. Still though, that had to be the worst defensive performance by 1 player in EPL history. He did not do 1 thing right all game. Wilshere and Ramsey didn't even feel like running and Chamakh was non-existent. Vermaelen needs a partner found within the week.
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread hahaha i watched the game till the 86' and i miss theos goal, still didnt mean anything but the end of this season was a joke, new thread i endorse thee
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread playing the qualifier will be fun such a horrible way to end the season
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread Good vibes? I'm just a bit jaded after seeing the same routine since the miracle FA cup win in 2004 in which the Mancs outplayed us completely. Insanity is doing the same shit over and over again and expecting different results. Wenger isn't changing, the club charges the highest ticket prices in the world, and the supporters are getting ripped off by cheap management. 4th place is a trophy according to them. If heads start rolling and signings are made, I'll gladly change my tune. :)
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread Wenger: "Our away fans have been outstanding all season and I would like to thank them. We cannot buy players for £50m – that is a fact." Some shit never changes.
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread I had 2 dumbasses (Manure fans) trying to be cheeky and post about how sad and bitter it must be to be a fan of Arsenal and how long it has been since I saw a trophy .. .. only if people were a bit more original and creative with their jibes .. ahh well ..
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread Sick of these excuses about players needing regular first team football. Go out and deserve it and you'll get it. Man U got no problem having people come off the bench and not miss a beat. We'll see what happens. Shouldn't be too hard finding upgrades for some players. If someone like Samba or Cahill aren't signed then I may join Rainey's bitch parade. Really can't believe how 1 team could fall apart this badly.
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread didn't see the game... so defense was pitiful with RVP and theo scoring? any other details im missing?
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread after we sell at least cesc, we better goddamn well spend that money
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread Djourou was awful, Gibbs did well going forward, was awful in defense (30 yards out of position on the first goal), TV5 played well, saved a goal off the line, Ramsey looked lost (though he was playing out of position)
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread Vermaelen, Sagna, and Gibbs were fine. Sagna and Vermaelen were really good. They honestly were playing with a 12 year old back there. First goal he was 10 yards behind everyone else. Zamora tangled him up every single time there was a 1 on 1. 2nd goal he left Zamora. He made 1 good play all game. Right after that he passes it straight to a Fulham player in the middle of the pack. Pathetic is beyond an understatement. I'm losing faith in Wojesch too. Gonna be a big offseason for them. I got faith if we get someone like Samba the defense can be decent even with Clichy back there. Djourou-Koscielny-Squillaci held up for 6 1/2 months. Last 2 1/2 months it destroyed us. And fuck Arshavin too. Sell him. He is a disgrace. I can't put that on Gibbs. There was a line and Djourou was 10 yards behind everyone else keeping the player that started the move on. It was entirely his fault imo.
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread Wenger's right about not being able to sign players for 50 million, nobody without Sheikh's or Russians or limitless loans from Spanish banks can do that. But he should be able to buy a couple at 15-20 million pounds, especially if he sells of 30 million or so in players(Arshavin, Bendtner, Denilson, Rosicky, Diaby, etc). And if the do sell Fabregas, all of that money needs to go to player acquisition. Whatever the case, the next season will write Wenger's epitaph at Arsenal. Either he succeed's and he can resume his program or it will be the final nail in his dream. There's no way they can argue that next season shouldn't be bearing some serious silverware, youngest team in the league or not.
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread I seriously have yet to see why everybody is so confident in Szcezsny (sp?) but haven't really voiced it yet. I have seen a few decent saves and I realize he is young, but he fucks up a lot, and I can never really forgive him or Koscielny for the abortion of a Carling Cup Final they had.
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread Wojesch was really good for a while. My major problem with him is being more vocal and leadership. B'Ham fuckup was all about communication. He either starts showing it or he isn't gonna last long. I still like his talent a lot but he's like a turtle with his head in the shell right now. He's scared. We improve in front of him and he'll improve.
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread the passing in the 1st half was so shitty ... most of them were ambitious instead of precise .. often ended up passing to Fulham .. there's no fucking steel in the team .. half of them look like a bunch of headless chickens ..
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread I thought Diaby played fairly well today, his work on the first goal was excellent I still think there is a place for him at Arsenal
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread indeed .. to the future, I'll be downing a couple of bombers of some good beer...
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread but will we get anything different out of this squad? i'm not optimistic
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread Clichy to Inter? Would be a great start if Arsenal get a good fee for him.
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread as a clemson fan this happens to me on a yearly basis... well except last year cause we sucked the whole year but i still had to deal w/ things like losing to auburn in ot (a game that i decided i would travel to, no less)
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread dad went to that one too, i was pissed cause fuck a auburn, and kyle parker threw like a girl
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread Yep. Wenger is saying the right things though. I'm optimistic about the offseason. Wilshere officially out of U-21s. Lansbury/Gibbs are in it.
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread Tivoed Samba's game yesterday and first game I've focused on him and he's a beast. He's like Vidic on set pieces and a very good tackler and elite athlete. Definitely my #1 option and doesn't make sense to go after anyone else with Samba costing 10 or less. Really think him and Vermaelen can be as solid as any duo in the league. RVP tied an EPL record with Henry and Ronaldo for most goals after January 1st. Finally saw that dive by the PSG striker I liked. Shit was hilarious.
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread No matter what Wenger says I refuse to get my hopes up until something actually happens.
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread Not surprising. If Cesc leaves then this summer will w/o a doubt be nuts. First business hopefully is Nasri re-signing this week and then a transfer or 2.
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread I'm talking about the other dive though by the giant that got the red card. Hazard played like a beast. Wonder who gets him. I wouldn't be too against replacing Cesc with Hazard and moving Nasri inside. Not at all. Could get Hazard, Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Parker for pretty much 1 Cesc.
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread Glad to see he's not playing in this tournament and Pierce can go fuck himself for even trying to get a player that is consistently picked by the senior England squad.
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread Yep, a winger, CAM prospect and solid CM for one boy band member.
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread Hazard already stated he isn't leaving this summer. Wenger talks like this every summer before buying nobody. Remember when he brought his checkbook to the Euros? LOL. Cesc.
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread Funny that the guy that bitches the most about no trophies loves the player that is NEVER healthy when we're close to winning trophies. Or just kicks the ball to the other team on purpose giving them a goal in Barcelona.
