Well, that wasn’t very good was it? I truly believe supporting this club with Wenger at the helm has shortened my life considerably to the point where I sit here now, a twenty year old man with the health of a ninety year old alcoholic smoker who was a recreational asbestos sniffer!
I just can’t understand Arsene’s logic at the moment; we were the superior team on Sunday, not defensively but in every other aspect we were better. The only difference, our nemesis, Drogba!
He had Vermaelen and Gallas in his pocket from the first whistle, add to that some shoddy defending from an increasingly poor looking Clichy and you’ve got the recipe for two soft goals and an afternoon where it looked as though Drogba could go on a six goal rampage after twenty minutes.
Had we had Didier Drogba in our line-up we could quite easily have won four or five nil with the volume of ‘nearly’ moments we had.
After the game Le Boss said he felt we ‘deserved’ to win the game…yeah…but we didn’t…did we? At the end of the season they don’t add up, nearly points! Or should have points! Or deserved points! Or points for how pretty you play!
We beat them on every statistic, possession, corners, shots, shots on target, all except for the most important – the one that read Chelsea 2-0 Arsenal.
Whilst I agree with Wenger the title isn’t ‘completely’ dead, I do feel it’s all but over for us this year. I do however disagree with him on nearly every other count.
Bendtner is not good, at all. But I would have played him between Arshavin and Nasri instead of relying on a five foot seven Russian who likes playing off the striker, not being him!
In my OPINION Arsene has lost us the title this year by not slashing out for a big, powerful striker in January. It’s our most urgent requirement, and I don’t think Chamakh is the answer to our prayers from his stats and what I’ve seen.
I’d be more interested in ‘Super’ Mario Balotelli from what I can see. 19 years old, 6ft 2 ½ inches tall. An absolute powerhouse of a player with a Drogba style free kick and great aerial awareness, he’s regarded as the finest striker in Italy at the moment.
And when talk circulated during the summer about him he said he would love a move to a high profile English club and praised Arsene Wenger’s eye for players.
He’s valued at £15-18 Million and for a striker aged 19, that’s pretty good, still ready to be shaped.
Almunia is a disaster and Fabianski isn’t much better, a good keeper is needed – scratch that a world class keeper. Compare our lot to Cech or Van Der Sar or even Reina and you see the problem.
But we’ve all sat around and said this before, but if Wenger won’t hear it we might as well be grating our weary heads against the walls of the trophyless Emirates Stadium.
The summer needs to be our debriefing time, and no one should be exempt, not even Wenger. Some players like Fabregas have shown their value this year and I feel that his award of a £120 000 a week contract is justified.
But players like Denilson and Walcott need to be shown the door, as does Bendtner and Almunia in my opinion. Rake in as much money for these flops as you can and add that to the stockpile of cash Wenger already has from record profits and player sales.
But I grow weary of this game, of hearing ‘transition’ and ‘development’, Arsene has already come out this week and asked us to be patient…again.
BS decoder: We’re not going to win anything guys.
Well enough is enough. Either put up or shut up. Walk into the 10/11 season with freshly bought in players, or walk out of the Emirates and thank you for your great service to the club.
I respect the hell out of Wenger, but Arsenal is turning into Arsene Wenger.
