Lukaku is a great finisher, but I think his general play would leave Arsenal fans frustrated

After they've had to watch Giroud, probably not in the first season. But then the grass gets greener as they forget about Giroud.

You mean the one that died over a week ago? Not sure why you're bringing that up now

As for this stupid fucking game and this pathetic excuse for a team. I am just about fucking done with Vermaelen, Giroud and Arteta. They're not the only ones playing like shit today obviously, but players like Santi and Flam have a lot more goodwil. Honestly I'd be tempted to sub Giroud and Santi off at HT

If all of these thrashings have shown anything its that we need to sign a top top top top top top DM.

Throw a blank cheque at one of the Bender brothers and we'll look 100x better instantly.

People questioned me when I said Theo was our most important player earlier than the year, but fuck surely you can see now how much we need him.

It's not all doom and gloom though, we're still in the cup and we should still secure 4th.

Literally the only positive out of that match is that Rambo looked great considering he's only just come back.

Gutted for Sanogo, robbed of his first goal. I'd play him ahead of Giroud for the rest of the season.

Honestly, if Arteta starts in the semi I will fucking kill somebody. With Flamini out I'd be starting Kallstrom and Ox on the right and 2 of Santi/Tomas/Poldi making up the other two behind Sanogo.

Every single one of these players should be fucking ashamed of themselves and Arsene a bit too he definitely can't go blameless. 2 months ago we were talking title and now we're relying on Everton dropping pts just so we can hang on to fucking 4th place again. Not anywhere near good enough.

Starting to get to the point where, and I feel a little sick saying this, but I hope we win the Cup and it's a parting gift from Arsene. We've had collapses before but not like this. Imo this is the point of no return, tipping point, whatever the fuck you want to call it, but it's time. Go out on some kind of high winning the cup, hopefully at least.

It is Arsenal.

We won't win the cup.

Just prepare yourself for that already.

Join us away from the top table.

It would be kind of fitting. The two best teams during the Premier League era fall out of the 4 together. With the luck Merseyside are having, it's pretty much set up for it to happen.

I was more just talking about not being at the top as in 1st and 2nd.

After sleeping on it, still think we are probably favourites, just, to make 4th spot.

As shit as we are at the moment I'd still expect us to get at the very least 10pts from our last 4 games.

I'll be completely honest, and it would have to be only for a season, but the thought of Europa League would be pretty fun. Give us something to really try and go for instead of getting Bayern or Barca in the 2nd round again.

Like I said though, would have to be for just one season, no point if we don't finish in the top 4 again next season.

They're all big ifs though obviously.

It's what we are trying to tell ourselves if we qualify for the Europa. Another avenue into the Champions League, something we have not won before, a chance to give young players in Europe. But really, it's clutching at straws.

That's the thing, your run home is very easy. You just have to hope teams like Soton, Man C and Man U can take points off Everton.

I'd probably enjoy the first few group games and then just want to be done with it :lol:

The best thing about last night is if we beat Wigan this time next week we'll be the happiest fuckers in the world. Honestly football can gagf.

The last couple of heavy defeats have well and truly shown that Arsene must buy a top quality DM. Far too many goals/ chances have come from the opposition midfielders having a free run at the CB's . That and the midfield as a whole need to get their shit together.

Playing actual LB's and RB's away from home might also be a good idea. 2 goals came from your wingbacks being out of position or just being outplayed.

Also, Arteta has been f*cking useless in the recent games I've watched.
