On 606
(BBC 5 Live now), the fans are saying that Wenger has to have a long hard look at himself. One even saying...
Arsene's time is coming to an end...
How he's still in the job after so many barren seasons
(About to increase) amazes
me, in this modern era. I think that managers deserve the chance, mainly
because what Fergie has done, but Wenger's getting worse each year!
Dropping points to the following is amazing!
Fulham
Hull
Sunderland
Tottenham
Stoke
Ok, Spurs aren't in the best of shape, lets be honest, and Arsenal **** up a 3
goal lead at HOME to their supposed fiercest rivals! Would we screw up a 3 goal
lead at home to City?
Two newly promoted sides, a side that was promoted last season and a team
always done around the lower half...Its incredible!
Their season hangs on Europe (Laughs)M the Carling Cup, but showing only a
Carling Cup in 4 years is pretty crap TBH, and the FA cup, but United will win
that!
Are we looking at the end of Mr. ******, sorry...Mr. Wenger
This is from the official Arsenal Site...Wenger:
At the end of the day Stoke deserved to win said:
On his side’s performance…
“It was a game where we had a lot of possession and the team we played defended very well and were well organised. We were not sharp enough to create the chances and conceded two goals on two throw-ins. They fought for every ball and they waited for their set pieces and in the end Stoke won because we didn’t create enough chances to score.
On preparing for Delap's throw-ins…
“We had a plan to deal with the throw-ins; we had worked on it. I am not sure the first one was touched by anybody. They fly into the box and it is difficult with 20 people in there. That sort of thing is not our greatest strength. We were punished and I believe we were unlucky as well"
On a traditional English match…
“People who love the traditional English game must be happy because they got what they like today. It was a traditional game with a lot of fight and commitment. At the end of the day Stoke deserved to win the game.”
On a tough schedule…
“I believe we tried very hard and I think Stoke are sharp at the moment and we looked jaded physically. At the moment we play a lot games and we suffer a little a bit because of that. It isn’t confidence, but we gave a lot on Wednesday and we play again in midweek and that is why in the repetition of games, is that if you don’t score first you suffer."
On Van Persie's dismissal…
“I think that the red card was very, very harsh. If you get [Andy] Griffin without a yellow card today and Robin with a red, then I have to review my rulebook. He shouldn’t have done it but I don’t think it was a red card.”
On an array of injuries…
“We have very bad injuries to Adebayor and Walcott, and there is Sagna. One or two have knocks as well. It is the kind of game we played today and when you are a little bit short on sharpness, you are less agile and get out of tackles less quickly.”
Doesn't fill ya with confidence if your an Arsenal fan really!
and just a note on this...
"but we gave a lot on Wednesday and we play again in midweek and that is why in the repetition of games"
Ehh...Arsene......United, Chelsea and Liverpool ALL played midweek, and ALL have
European commitments...why are your side exceptional???
