Wenger - We Were In Control

Can't argue with this quote and i think as much as there is alot of pessimism about our players, [typically certain ones get critisized and others don't for being 100% focused] vermaelen's rustyness at the back cost us the first goal, replays show him ball watching..and van persie's glaring miss trying to overhit the shot. those two moments changed the game for arsenal and showed how our most revered players are susceptable to brainfarts as much as say..walcott. I think this game could have easily had a different outcome and so things would definately feel alot rosier than they do.IMHO. given we get some key men back [arteta for one] we will definately have a stronger run in.

fuzzbag, rvp did missed one but he made amend the second time. it was not even a half chance. with his back facing the goal, he turned and poked the ball that through evra's leg and squeezed through the tightest space between the keeper's palm and the far post. rvp was so isolated throughout the game. and no wenger, we could have been 2 or 3 down before the half time. there is a gulf of quality between us and the weakest mu we seen for years. something for you to chew on

Was not TV at fault for both goals? I think a RW is a LBs job. I remember playing for a new team and my LB was shouting at me (at LW) to cover their winger. That's not my job, that's his. The better defender (LB) takes the better attacker (RW) - remember CR vs A Cole? When you let your attacking player AA try to defend against a good winger there will only be one winner. Can you imagine Pires trying to cover Ronaldo???? AA did the right thing and decent basic defending, to show Valencia onto his left. But he was out of his depth to cover a good quick passing move.

Can I also draw attention to the difference in Blackburn, with the same team, the same manager and the same tactics. Their upturn in performances and results coincided directly with an agreement to stop the negativity during matches. OK it didn't stop 100% but it did reduce and has continued to do so. I do believe that you as a fan have the right to express yourself but you have to know that there are implications and consequences to doing so. Why do teams play better at home? because of the 'support'. Last season our home form dropped at a time when it was the home support that housed the boo boys. Our results got better after the 8-2 because most fans agreed that the team was in trouble and the best thing to do was get behind the team and see where we end the season. We did get better but have we forgotten that this is the same team in trouble that needs, and will do better, with our support at matches? I don't mind fans saying it's their right to sing what they want but they need to know that they are a cause as well as an effect of what happens on the pitch.

Maybe DT

booing should never be condoned. in the context of nationalism, one should never sabotage his own country but he has every right to question the governance (or misgovernance) of the power that be

hey joe,van persie's goal was seriously impressive.. how it crept in at that pace, just gutted that he couldn't bury manure with the other one. sometimes misgovernance requires sabotage to be recognisable to the powers that be..and a country's relationship to its people like the club to their fans are hugely romanticised these days..commercial necessities an all. something for you to chew on ;-)

I go to every home game. Even without the recent polarisation, I have to say our home support haven't really been friendly to each other. Maybe it's a London thing, where people don't really talk to people they don't know, but it's a bit sad really when people who support the same team can't be friendly to each other. Jeez our club seems to be in all kinds of mess, don't it!

Yeah cos you can really talk about managers taking the ***** can't you tony? Wenger managed in Monaco winning the league and the coupe de france for them, your shady jowelly villain just used the principality for the purpose of squirrelling away his ill gotten gains. The feckin well dodgy twitchy scrotum faced crook. 'lacking credibility' was todays courtroom verdict on Mr 'you aint got nuffink on me' lol.

Let's see how it all plays out. I shouldn't need to remind you that one of the most sucessful managers in your history had his hands in the till. You sacked him because he was thief. We sacked him because he just wasn't good enough for the greatest team in North London. LOL! Mind the gap by the way....10 points now I see.

Ha ha... watch out how far you go with that morality crap. Has your season become dependant on our managers court case? Oh how the worm has turned. He's probably guilty as hell but what does that have to do with us or you? It relates to pompey business. Do you think for one minute, even if found guilty, he'd go away for it? He has the same Brief as Gerrard did, he got off with it even though there was cctv showing him hit the guy unprovoked. Hey!! we're way above you, 'Arry's court case will change NADDA!!!

Ha! man you're such a lame troll, comes here to do the winding up and gets wound up himself. History is history whatever troll, for every Merson there's a wifebeating useless fat lowlife thicko like Gazza, for every Graham theres a kerb crawling dwarf raincoat like Pleat. We're talking NOW trollboy and right now you're managed by a proper villain. This criminal Redknapp and his simpleton brood sum up everything that's wrong in the game today. Himwhatwhats two words Lester Piggott, this arrogant gobby 'Arry is exactly the type of oik the authorities love making an example of.

Good adebayor replacement then eh? being as theres no way he'll be with you next season. Still 14 games to go and 42 pts up for grabs, a lot can change in that time so don't count your ball balancing chickens just yet, though maybe you'll be able to set a live satellite link up from Wandsworth for the artless dodger?

so you've managed to get your sorry chutney chute of a club within 8 points of the league leader in January. Whoopee shoite, in the lean half a decade we've experienced that was par for the course. In short your freak season thus far is what we've achieved in our leanest recent times. Typical gobshoite spud running his mouth off before anything has actually been won or achieved. You have so much mouth I'm guessing your wardrobe leaves a lot to be desired in the old trouser dept.

Ouch, touched a nerve did I? Speak the truth did I? And doesn't that truth hurt? Running his mouth off before anything has been won or achieved? Well, we've left you for dead, and as for winning anything...I'd suppose that's rather a distant memory for you. As for Harry, at the very worst he put a few bob away for his grandchildren. The sort of thing any normal human being would do, especially one such as him who started out life as an impoverished east end kid. Not that you would understand. All you can muster are playground insults, tiresome ad hominem. There used to be a time when vitriol was all we had, too. Not any more. These days you're just another club that will in all probibility be thrashed all over the pitch. I can feel a DVD coming on...Spurs in the CL, Arsenal in the Europa! Just so fecking brilliant! Spurs fans everywhere these days! We're just taking the *****! Marching all over Arsenal! By the time we beat you in the league we'll have virtually booked our place in the CL, years dining at the highest tables of European football. Years of trophies and great players. While you wobble on with Professor F.U.C.K UP trying to keep your head above the high watermark of mid table. Glory, glory. And all wrapped up at Ashburton S.H.I.T heap! LOL!

Worst.Troll.Ever. Like I said comes on here trying to lamely wind up only to be laughed at and have his own blood pressure rise! What a silly old fart. We've heard it all before gramps, you're having one freak season that's all, noone at your run down trampy club has the wherewithall to build on that, then the skinny chicken will settle down for another 50 years of night. Doubtless you'll still be here banging on about the glorious 12/13 season where you won feck all lol but hey that doesn't matter does it? no all that matters is your all consuming gollumesque obsession with us. Managed by a crook, supported by sociopathic inbreds. Marching over Arsenal lol joker, you'll never even win the league let alone win it TWICE at our ground. THAT is taking the ***** out of your neighbours troll and you'll never be allowed to forget it 71/2004.

Just saw the title of your next article on Vital Trophyless. Ever fallen in love with someone you shouldn't have fallen in love with? Having had the displeasure of meeting some of your support the answer for them would be "Yeah, my sister". Get it up right up yer scum!!

Your sister Tony? Why would any of us know her? If she's anything like yourself she probably pushes a shopping trolley of jumble up & down seven sisters rd shouting 'come to nursey' whilst wearing a necklace of dead pidgeons and leaving a liquid trail of super strength bum cider in her shuffling stinky wake.

You brought up your sister, we all should know her apparantly? and something about getting right up her scum? That's what happens in T*ttenham folks, lowlifes pimp their family. Anyhow I'll let you into a little secret, your team are playing tonight, yes I know you'd rather be here getting cyber pummelled but you really should take an interest in them from time to time.
