"Prawns, Gareth?"

1-1 at half time. Arsenal start flicking the ball when they go ahead. Wenger needs to fcuk it into them.

A Gooners season review in quotes..

Meh! Scoring goals is hardly a problem for Man United, only one winner in that transfer. Impossible for Arsenal to contest for the EPL, they are a selling club and can't compete with either Manchester club or the big two in Spain and Chelsea as well. No big deal, they'll still finish top 4, no deluded sense of entitlement on this thread.

Listen, that was shit today.

Arsenal have replaced good players (Fabregas, Nasri, Clichy, RVP, Flamini etc) with inferior ones over the last few years. It's quite amazing how Wenger has kept them in the top 4 every year although VP did it almost single-handedly last year.

Walcott - crap, brainless, fruity, overhyped but the penny is dropping.
Gervinho - no bite, stupid, no awareness.
Ramsey - balls have disappeared since the injury. Lost.
Mertesecker - Just doesn't really care that much for the cause. Will do simple things but now losing aerial battles regularly.
Giroud/Podolski - no world beaters. Didn't impose themselves at all.
Chamberlain - overhyped
Arteta - a good player
Cazorla - excellent so far but noticeably greedier though he probably looks around him and knows to go it alone
Diaby - give me strength. No bite in the tackle. Doesn't want to know if someone slaps into him.
Vermaelen - fine player
Gibbs - can't pass accurately
Jenkinson - puts in a 'shift'

If Wenger can get that shower into the top four the man is a magician. Two 0-0s. I'd fear this year. I know this time last year was worse but VP was still there.

I watched the last 20 minutes of the game against Man City,
Arsenal looked contenders for the EPL title, not just a top 4 spot. The title is there for the taking.
Wenger is one relentless coach.

That was great craic. In fairness Arsenal are great value. The remind me of Brazil back in the Zico days.

Shite club,and in permanent decline now.About to scrap it out with Liverpool in the coming season for a Europa League place.

There will be no Spurs meltdown this year.We have an undistracted and totally focussed manager this season

Arteta really demonstrating his nous as captain by fouling twice in injury time and ensuring Arsenal dont even get a last hoof into the box.

So second rate it's untrue.

Yes - infuriating.

If Arsenal can defend like that they'll be thereabouts around 4th. Even Mertesecker.

Are they the first team to keep Munich scoreless at home this season?

That was a dreadful last 20 mins to watch. The Gods are smiling on the Arse.

Wow, a Europa League place, what riches! Next year will be our year.

It's like Groundhog Day and we can't jump off.

They have a chance of getting whoever Chelsea, Man City, Man United, Barca, Real Madrid, Munich don't want...

Would love to see Rooney at the club and maybe Wanyama. Arteta's 31, Cazorla'll be 29, Sagna 30, Mertesacker turning 29, Koscielny turning 28, Vermaelen turning 28. Dunno what point I'm making.

The way they celebrated at the final whistle yesterday was like news that Messi was joining the club. Another year of CL Fusball, bit ott celebrations - even if it's a money spinner.

It's like a drug, finishing ahead of Spurs.
