We need this one badly, boys and girl.

Not at Finn's for the second straight match.

We absolutely need that 6 point cushion to remain in a comfortable position.

I've had enough of Olivier Giroud. Goodness he fricking SUCKS. Sagna or Gibbs with decent crosses and this fricking bellend doesn't even make a near post runs. He just sits still and tries to play give and goes ALL of the time. Frustrating as frick. He's a tree stomp, loses every single aerial battle, isn't motivated. Only thing he does is better than average hold up play. Bring Sanogo on and start him the rest of the year.

Also Ox, Cazorla, Arteta, and Rosicky have got to stop giving the ball away in unfavorable positions.

I have to agree with this. Gibbs and Sagna work their asses off to get into crossing positions and generally make good crosses (though sometimes directly at the keeper in Sagna's case) but regardless there is NEVER anyone there.

With Wenger not signing the contract yet I wonder if he is considering hanging up the hat? He's not getting any younger so I figure within the next 5 years or less he will finally retire.

How concerned should I be about not finishing 4th?

I dunno, but with our form lately anyone in the top half is capable of taking points off of us.

Still have to play Everton and City, so too does Everton. If Everton sweeps those 2 and Arsenal loses both then uh oh.

The bottom half as well, apparently.

I haven't had fun watching Arsenal for a while, sadly. Granted I didn't watch one second of the Chelsea match lucky me, and I only saw the final 10 minutes of this match against the Swans, but from the sounds of it we looked fairly shitty yet again.

yeah we're in some serious danger of letting this shite snowball. that was about as depressing a result as i can recall.

having a hard time seeing us getting a result Saturday or against Everton at Goodison. this is on the verge of being really bad.

this was such a frustrating game to watch. it seems like the entire team is in a funk and it is just so upsetting to watch this inefficiency.

giroud was especially frustrating to me. need an upgrade in various spots but really I just want ramsey back in the worst way.

Everton won't be easy at all. Don't think they are a threat for 4th but they will be fighting to hang on to 5th.

Pretty funny how things work in football.

Back in December, Ozil scores against Everton late in the game and BOOM, we won but nope we concede late and that's when our season went down hill first with Ramsey on Boxing Day, then Theo.

Now our title hopes almost officially ends after a late mistake.

Lineup for City should be:

--------------Sanogo
-----Poldi-----Cazorla-----Ox
-----Flamini-----Kallstrom
Gibbs-----BFG-----Verm-----Sagna

Giroud sucked again today and simply he is not good enough for Arsenal Football Club. Him, as well as stupid give aways by the midfielders, cost us this game. I cannot wait til Ramsey and Flamini are starting alongside each other once more.

i do think sanogo should be starting now. at least his athleticism will bring something to the pitch since giroud is contributing almost nothing.

they are 6pts behind with a game in hand and we have to go play them at Goodison. they've got @Fulham, us, @Sunderland, CP, ManU, @Soton, City, @Hull City.

we've got City, @Everton, WHU, @Hull, Newcastle, WBA, and @Norwich.

we've got to beat them. they're a definitely threat for fourth.
