Another dismal, halfhearted performance from Arsenal at Newcastle today, why put out a team of players who've hardly had a game this season and some kids and rest your best players? jeez just because Wenger and his players think there is nothing to play for in the league anymore, doesn't mean the fans don't want the club to win.
I am sick of this attitude and sick of the mentality that has permated the club now for the last few seasons whereby they seem to think that possession earns them points, it doesn't and particularly when 70% of that possession is in your own half and gained by continual square and back passing, it's fucking criminal that the club expect supporters to pay for this shite.
A nice start and a nice goal early on and we were walking, exactly the situatuion I've dreaded countless time this season. It's the signal for slow movement, back passing, lazy passing, lazy chasing, lazy challenging, lazy every fucking thing.
One of the ways you can judge a game for intensity and passion is the amount of yellow cards it produces - when like today, you don't get one at all until the opposition wins one for time wasting 2 minutes into added time at the end, shows how much passion and effort this bunch of cunts had.
Why is he resting players for fuck sake? we haven't got another game for a week. Our bench consisted of four kids, an aging midfield defender who retires at the end of the season, a keeper who was supposed to have been injured on Thursday and left sided defender. Oh and Danny Welbeck who came on with half hour left and did fuck all like the rest of them.
There was no Ramsey, Wilshere, Ozil, Koscielny, Bellerin, they didn't even travel and Mkhitaryan is injured so no wonder no-one thought the game worth competing for, coz the boss obviously didn't.
I'll be honest, I'd rather Burnely take 6th spot and let them have some European football for a change, the Europa league is fine but it goes on forever. Perhaps if all we have to play for is the league and domestic cups, Wenger wouldn't feel the need to rest players every fucking week and we might for once make a real challenge for the title.
Oh I almost forgot, it was 2-1 to Newcastle and basically seals their place in the Premier league now, Benitez said they needed 40 points to be safe, they've got 41. Pretty glad at that, you need big clubs with passionate supporters in our league.
