Respect to you for showing your face GG. It wasn't good though, was it?
You know its bad when your goalie lets in 8 and he was one of the better players Zulu...

What i am most hacked of with, is the likes of Rosicky and Arshavin letting us down yet again. If ever there was a game when you need your senior players to step up and show what they are made of its when you're playing Man Utd away with a skeleton of a team, and they were both a huge disapointment. And not for the first time. When you think about our most recent title winning sides and look at just how many goals Pires and Ljungberg used to get between them, compared to those 2, is it any wonder we are nowhere near challenging for the title?

Its not just defence Wenger needs to strengthen, but he's left it far too late. We are the laughing stock of the premier league right now. At this rate we will be pushing for top 6 let alone top 4. :( :( :(

Dont worry love, Newcastle must be due another implosion at some point soon.

I cannot believe Arshavin is the same person who played so well at Euro 2008 and for Zenit, what the hell's happened to him?

Interesting one cos he will clearly be given remit to strengthen the squad after having players sold so tgey should be given time to gel...but its not like say coyle who wont be in a position to buy till he's sold...its wengers fault he hasnt put the squad together to cope with this season.
Will take a lot for the board to push him out. I seriously reckon he will get til the end of the season.

Remember when he scored 4 against Liverpool not long after he arrived? We all thought he was the bees knees but like Rosicky, he's done sod all worthwhile in ages. Clearly he's a cracking player on his day but unable to keep that form long term. Rosicky does at least have the excuse that he's a pretty much permenant sick note...

Oh yeah he was awesome in that Liverpool game. Heard on the radio a few minutes ago that he knows he's not really wanted at the club anymore and plays like it, he should pull his lazy finger out

His crappy efforts and attitude started long before he may have felt not wanted anymore.

Agreed - and we have too many like him in the team - thats half the problem. Him and Bendtner especially, need a swift boot up the backside.

Aye. And compare the starting line ups:

Man Utd: De Gea, Smalling, Jones, Evans, Evra, Nani, Cleverley, Anderson, Young, Rooney, Welbeck

Arsenal: Szczesny, Jenkinson, Djourou, Koscielny, Traore, Ramsey, Coquelin, Rosicky, Walcott, van Persie, Arshavin.

United's experience and strength in depth regardless of injured people puts Arsenal's squad in the shade. The back four for example. Feck me.

Thing is Arsenal have to turn it around very soon, as they must get into Europe on merit. Let's face it with 4 reds in the first 3 games the fairplay option is already shot regardless of whether they clean up their act or not.

Yeah but, No but.

DMB's starting line up - 201 international caps between them

Arsenal's starting line up - 264.

So much for "we only had the kids out"
