Football fans and their fatalism, victim-hood. What's different with some Arsenal appreciators is wallowing in fatalism even when the team are winning all round them.
You'd almost have the mistaken impression that Arsenal fc was not more than a club and had such a narrow identity in society that began and ended with winning trophies.

If you keep knocking on the door you have to get through some time. Then I think of Mayo and know I'm being daft. The one time Arsenal bother their hole to top the group. And if they came second they'd have got Real Madrid..

No they wouldn't

Ozil misses an easy chance to go 2-1 up then disappeared. Not what you expect or need from a fella supposedly looking a big money contract.

It's fairly clear this fabled mental strength is an illusion.

ONeill · December 13, 2016, 11:00:40 PM

Yes, it's simple enough. If you get in their faces, there's a good chance Arsenal will fold. Fergie worked it out around 2005. Everton had that sort of approach today when they were 1-0 down. Fortunately, you only have a few teams capable of that.

Backed City when Arsenal took the lead.
This team nowhere near title contenders.
Monreal is f*cking terrible.
Left back badly needed.

Just f**k off, Arsenal

tyroneman · December 18, 2016, 05:38:40 PM

That famed mental strength again. The big players nowhere to be seen after city scored.

Would be surprised if Sanchez stayed at any price.

Puckoon · December 18, 2016, 05:42:25 PM

He's been infuriating this game. 5-6 times he's had runners coming off the shoulder and he's held onto it and killed some half chances. They look scared, and lethargic.

Xhaka looks anything but a 35mill player.

IMHO The best thing for Arsenal would be to finish 5th and finally have an excuse to ditch Wenger. He's not progressed the team this past decade in terms of genuinely challenging for the league, let alone the CL and the stadium excuse cuts no ice now.

Seems to be the same old sh!t excuses wheeled out every year too.

Good players seem to soon realise they are going nowhere so they leave and win meaningful trophies elsewhere while players like Walcott hang around and continue to pick up the easy pay check year in year out.

9 points behind Chelsea, league over for Arsenal in December

He brought on Elneny instead of Perez when losing. The man in a dinosaur.

Indeed, the 'not quite a striker', who had 1 relatively productive season for scoring goals, that he paid 17mill or so for in the last minute shopping mall.

Another player Arsenal didn't need.
Another player Arsenal don't use.
Another piece of transfer genius.
