The Arsenal Thread XII

Exactly, I'm not so much pissed off about the match as I am about the commentating. Wow, English football and English media just really despises and hates Arsenal. Screaming for penalties and fouls for the other side, showing almost no highlights but mocking Wenger on match of the day (would **** their pants even thinking about mocking Fergie), pure jealousy and xenophobia like no other. Britain should **** off out of the EU

just shows how important walcott and arteta are. is it me or are the norwich players physical like stoke but less

I'm sick of people saying we're missing arteta and walcott. Lets be honest Walcott goes absent in half the games he plays in and in the games where he does actually contribute, 70% of the time is unproductive. As for Arteta, he's an average-good player who mostly sits in the middle making ordinary passes, hes certainly not a fabregas or a RvP, if we can't win games without players like him then the problem lies with the team itself.

So the truth as to why we're been so **** lately is not because we're missing these average-esque players, rather, its due to the fact that RvP hasn't been in top form. Most of the chances he's missed recently are shocking by his standard in this season which we've pretty much relied on him to single-handed drag us up to CL-places contention. If he's not firing, we're not winning, simple as. The Wolves game in which we won 0-3 was an exception a) we we given an early penalty, and b) wolves were already in freefall capitulation.

As for today so far, we're losing because of general all-round **** defending once again from a defence that has ALWAYS been suspect, and the fact that we're not keeping the ball (even though we've failed in win any of the previous games, we've still managed to at least keep hold of possession). Also a failure to create chances as everyone looks to RvP (who's not in top form) and inevitably he gets crowded out by about 100 norwich defenders - this is getting predictable because there is no other potent goal threat apart from him.

ramsey needs to be replaced before he gets sent off!

If you don't believe that Arteta makes a difference and is a key reason as to how we played well in most games, I'm really not sure if you've watched our games with him this season
