Been an overpaid over rated inconsistent player for years imo.
Like many clubs at present - a huge clean out should be made for the following season.
Bozza late Sunday night - since the Leicester home win its been a very ordinary points tally and overall considering the lack of form by other usual contenders this year should have been - once again.

We were 2 pts off the top after that win against Leicester and 7 games later we're 13 pts behind, it's been a quite amazing collapse :lol:

What killed our season was losing to Swansea and United in back to back games after the Leicester win. Typical Arsenal really, get ourselves back into the race and then fuck it all up.

yes mate I recall the highs after that Fox's game and the jizzing you all were doing like the season before and before and before etcetcetc (I know were not any better), understandable but yer as said what a shocker run considering your mis firing talent pool, yes I know injuries but we all have to deal with these - some other useless info, Defoe a club in 18th just went past Giri on 13.

Love Football

So we can sell him to City, or Liverpool (who notoriously love overspending on shit English players).

We've had a few hiccups this season but the Swansea/United/Barca string of losses in that one week or two was definitely the seal IMO.

The Barca one I don't include because that doesn't mean anything and was inevitable. The Swansea and United ones are the ones that hurt.

Yeah neither of those clubs are stupid enough to buy him, especially with Klopp at Liverpool and Pep going to City. Theo wouldn't survive under either of those managers.

We should have sold him to Liverpool a few years ago when they would have actually wanted him.

I include it because it proved how stupid it was to send our full team over for it, particularly when taking into account our league obligations around it.

Sending our full team over for the 2nd leg didn't affect anything, after that loss we won our next 2 league games.

Correct, if BR was still there we would have been stoopid enough to do so but Klopp would secure someone more capable from Bundas 2 than looking at whatnot :lol:

In a little more positive news Jack did get through a full game with the U21's on Tuesday and did score. Will find out in a few hours at Arsene's presser if he'll play a part on Friday morning.

2 goals from outside the box in the same game, what kind of sorcery is this :lol:

Good to respond with a confident performance to the bit of pressure put on by results yesterday.

I wouldn't get too excited, would not surprise me if he doesn't start any of our last 4 games. Maybe the final game of the season if there's nothing riding on it.

Until some actual change happens, this team really isn't worth caring about. Arsene really should have bowed out last year after the FA Cup win.

Really hoping for a Leicester win this wkend. Would confirm Sp*rs don't win the league, and will give us a bit more hope that we don't cock up our 4th place trophy.

This team has character and attitude. And some people who question them, I know them, they have less character.

You know you're desperate when you're claiming that the likes of Theo Walcott and Aaron Ramsey have more character than the likes of Thierry Henry and Paul Merson.
