-Baptista is a turd of a player. Bad touch, bad finishing. Against Liverpool let’s remember Dudek and Paletta were playing. Only league goal against Reading and their centre backs arent exactly anything approaching class.

-Hleb has been the second most irritating player this season. Good feet and acceleration but no end product, lest not forgetting his amazing ability to just pass the f*cking ball to any opposing player. Get him on a angus burger diet to thicken the wimp up.

- Midfielders who cannot score. After seeing Rosicky against the USA, I got the impression he can pop a few away. Wrong. Too many times he hits the ball with the outside of his boot trying to be little artsy ‘mozart’. Buckle up you c*nt and strike the ball properly.

Some people though need to consider if they are getting carried away with all the Wenger resignation chat. He’s the best thing to happen to our club and he deserves our patience. The reality is that he knows alot more than any of us about arsenal and football in general. Yes, he has his flaws but he has not let us down before. Our current crisis arrives from the fact that we are deflated after a premature end to the season. Couple this with an ongoing frustration at being cack in front of goal for a whole season, and you have a recipe for near disaster. We will be back and changes have to be made. Here are my few requests I implore AW to consider (if you are reading)

1) Get Julio “the useless tw*t” Baptista on the next easyjet to Madrid
2) Send Hleb, Rosicky, Fabregas to finishing school all summer
3) Send Aliadiere back to the set of Planet of the Apes
4) Fine Eboue next time he acts like a total prick
5) Buy Ribery and a solid central midfielder
6) Pray for injury-free seasons for Henry and Van Persie

= Success

Good Luck Arsenal!

What can you say? How many more times is it gonna happen before the penny drops for AW. The players take a share of the blame but ultimately the buck stops with AW. He picks the team, coaches them and directs things from the bench (or doesnt). He is the one responsible for wasting the clubs money on players who are clearly not good enough and in some cases taking the cheap option of potential rather than someone who can improve the team right away.

To waste 10M on Hleb is criminal, but to constantly pick him when he is low on confidence and is giving the ball away for fun is just taking the piss. To waste 7M on a lanky streak of nothing in “Forrest” Adebayor also suggest that AW is getting more big money transfers wrong than right. Before anyone says, “but he gives 100%” - so what, he could run two marathons every game but he is a striker and doesnt even look like scoring, he can barely shoot for gods sake and spends most of his time on the wing now, we could have had Johnson for 1M more, one fucking million !. It may seem harsh to isolate these players but it is selecting players like this that has got us in this mess.

You cant blame the players though, they arent good enough to play for AFC but they are and probably cant believe how lucky they are. The fault is with the manager who picks them and stubbornly insists they are good enough despite it being clear to a blind man that they are not.

AW has created a team of lightweight fairies from players that are either too young, too old or just plainly not AFC quality and we are seeing the results unfold before us. The team was broken up but this was due to age and players wanting a new challenge and I dont think AW can be blamed for this. He must take the blame though for replacing warriors like Viera,Petit,Parlour,Keown,Lauren,Bergy with tarts like Hleb,Eboue,Ali,Forrest Gump or with kids who might produce in 2/3 years time ( there is no guarantee that they will be here then by the way ) especially if we lose 4th place. This team has no heart, no leaders and absolutely no cutting edge and seem to think that fancy football will win them matches.

Goals win football matches not consecutive passes or 70% possesion and 30 odd shots. People who say but we’ve got our top 2 strikers injured need to wake up. This shit has been going on all season - CSKA,Toon,Boro,Everton,Villa,SheffUtd,Pmouth,Fulham,Wham and I’m sure there are more, how many more times does it have to happen before people realise it is endemic with this team?. Two good strikers are injured but our back up is a joke and why cant our midfielders step up and take responsibility with a few goals like lamps,scholes,ronaldo - I know, cos they arent good enough and that is solely down to our manager. This situation is embarassing for a club the size of AFC, but it is not surprising and AW seems almost resigned to it, he sits on the bench looking like a broken man out of ideas !.

It is all very well building for the future, but not when you ignore the present. Every AW quote now is about how things will be in the future or how he must have belief in his young squad. He needs to remember he is managing AFC not a pub side or a youth project in france, transfer windows are there for a reason and can shape a clubs season if used well. These ridiculous quotes about being happy with his squad are beyond belief, this squad doesnt need ripping apart but 3/4 proven players need to be added. These players need to be quality with the right attitude and people who our kids can learn from and who can show leadership when thing are going wrong.

Going by recent quotes, we will have a similar squad next season and yet AW is still beating the same drum “we will be stronger next season” or “these players have learned alot”. How will anything be any different, will Hleb stop giving the ball away - no, will our midfield score goals - no, will Forrest start looking like a pro footballer - no. It will be exactly the same, as some players arent good enough or not suited to the EPL and no amount of coaching will change that.

I would rather AW and the board came out at the start of the season and told us straight “due to the stadium move, and our managers inability to find players in his price range ( you pay peanuts, you get monkeys dont you ), we are going through a transition period and have filled our squad with young players. We ask the fans to be patient as we wont be challenging for anything for3/4 years until the squad matures, but we will still charge you over a grand a year to watch his little boys though. We will do everything we can to finish in the top 6 however, and we are confident of challenging for the title in5 years time, thank you”. This way we would know where we stood and would have no false hopes and wouldnt have to listen to the same crap evry week like “we were a little jaded, this team has so much potential” or my fave “we lacked a little maturity in key areas”, well you would when you field a youth team in the EPL !

I will probably be labelled a “bedwetter” by some who have their heads buried in the sand, but thats fair enough - each to his own and all that. If expressing my concern at the way thing are going or questioning recent tactics or lack of transfer activity makes me a bedwetter rather than a fan who is worried about the club, then I dont get it ! I am 100% behind AW as I feel what he has done for us means he deserves time to sort this mess out, but next year is his biggest test. He will stand or fall by how he handles the tranfer window, if nothing is done and we start the season with the same squad then he has nowhere to hide if we see no improvement, and by that I mean a realistic title challenge over 38 games not a cup run or two. He will have seen the problems and failed to address them and will therefore be solely to blame and it maybe time for him to move upstairs and for a change and and a new start, I hope I am wrong though.

Bloody hell guys, get a grip!

This is a much improved performance on the last 4-5 games and thank God for that! It’s not a result that we wanted obviously, but at least we are getting chances now rather than looking lethargic.

This was always a rebuilding season. Today’s game just amplifies what we already know - in our current form we are rubish without our key strikers. Arsenal will still finish in the top 4. It was a rough game and it is most definitely a rough time to be an Arsenal fan. This isn’t a team in crisis, this is a team poised to explode into one of the strongest sides in Europe - and next season it will happen.

How did things get so bad, so quickly?

Clearly some players are lacking in confidence but it’s times like this when your looking for your players to stand up and be counted. Cesc, despite not playing particularly well today and having had a complete nightmare in front of goal all season continued to get himself into positions to score and hit the crossbar from 30 yds. Because he’s bollocks!! Hleb on the other hasn’t. He does not have the mental strength to play for Arsenal and that can be said for a number of the players.

Actually thought Aliadiere did ok today when he came on.

Arsenal ‘dominate’ games in terms of possession but can’t score! The problem is we have players who cannot finish. Teams will sit back against us and nick a goal because they know we can’t put the ball in the net! Zamora scored a decent goal with one of very few West Ham chances - just like most team such as Blackburn, Everton, Sheffield United and most of the Premiership.

It’s not bad luck we go a goal down in games, it’s because OTHER TEAMS PRACTICE FINISHING. At this level, you have to make your chances count!

How many teams need 30 shots in a match to score?

I would say every team in the league except Arsenal need 5/6 chances to score a goal, and I’m including teams like Charlton, West Ham and Watford.

It’s pathetic that when two players are out - Van Persie and Henry - we totally collapse.
